Who does the author recommend the hotel to?: For a relaxing holiday
Rested in SeaGull with his wife. I am 26. In Turkey for the 3rd time, in this hotel for the first . . and the last.
The hotel does not reach the four. Believe me, the hotel has four stars only due to the fact that it is located on the first line, and so is a strong, solid three. One of the disappointments is the food. I don’t know how it used to be, but in 2010 it was exactly like that. Of course, you won’t die of hunger, but you can just eat delicious food no more than 2 times. Save on everything. Variety is completely absent, and what is there is not always tasty. I’m not a gourmet, but you must admit that when you eat deliciously, you’re in a completely different mood; ) I understand that meat in Turkey is expensive, but even chicken was rarely given, and when they did give it, it was only in one form (either small wings, or even something…). There is no mashed potatoes at all, only apples and watermelons from fruits (once they gave a plum), sweets fly away immediately, people are on guard 10 minutes before the opening of the restaurant, there are more lines for food than in huge hotels. I once rested in a rather weak five in Kemer, so there we just ate various goodies. And the overall service was beyond comparison with this hotel. Although the difference in price is quite small, but we wanted to go somewhere else.
Beach towels are not provided here; drinks (any, even plain water) are included in the price only until 22.30, and then everything is paid; the soundproofing of the rooms is completely absent, the door to the balcony is old wooden and the gaps are such that anyone will fly; ); the rooms themselves are old and tiny, the air conditioner hangs directly above the beds, if you turn it on at night, it will blow, without them - stuffiness. The sanitary unit was broken upon check-in, it's good that the technician quickly fixed everything. This is just a plus of the hotel, not a broken bathroom, but polite, helpful staff. But what can he do if the hotel itself is what it is. The pool, by the way, is very small, and there are always a lot of children, you can’t swim much. There is a second pool near the restaurant, but no one swims there... it is rather decorative. The beach at the hotel is not big, when entering the sea there are large stones, but for us this was not a minus. Here is the lack of sun loungers, it's not good. There is a disco every evening at the hotel's pier. The animation began to work well and show at least some shows only after July 1, before that the usual competitions, and that’s all (since that time, even umbrellas and sunbeds on the beach and pool have been added - here the real season begins on July 1, and who arrives earlier content with what he has).

You can relax in a hotel, but you can also relax somewhere in Anapa or the Crimea... and after all, we fly abroad not quite for such a vacation, but to visit some amazing and unforgettable place and enjoy your stay in another country . And believe me, in Turkey it is possible, you just need to look better... in which I wish you good luck!
Sincerely, Ilya.
