BACKGROUND.

After unexpected events in Belarus in May, Montenegro, which had been planned, closed. The agency offered 3 hotels in Turkey. All with a significant surcharge, which they simply did not count on. Therefore, the quick choice fell (there was no time to think from the word AT ALL) on AKBULUT HOTEL & SPA 4 *. Bribed reviews and photos of a swing on the beach. The three flew. Our two-room apartment, paid for back in April, in Budva, has dramatically turned into a standard room in Guzelcamly. Yes, the possibility to book 2 rooms remained. but it was all about money. We decided that we would agree on the number at the place - after all, this is only the beginning of the season. The most important thing is that WE HAVE MANAGED TO REBOOK SOMETHING AND THE VACATION PROMISES TO BE NOT DISAPPOINTED.

AKBULUT 4 * - a small hotel. And, accordingly, everything is small. At the reception, the girl Iva speaks in Russian.

The hotel is a family business.

The owner's daughter immediately appeared, whom we told about the situation with the reservation and the desire to settle. It would seem...But there are NO available rooms already on June 7th! Will only be on Friday. The surcharge will be 40 euros / day ...To be honest, we did not expect such a number of tourists and such a surcharge for the room at all. We went to check in what was booked ...

1st floor (reception and restaurant on the -1st floor). Side sea view. The room has 2 beds and a chair-bed. Purely. By the season you can see that tinted, repaired. A small built-in wardrobe, a dressing table, a rack for bags, 2 tiny bedside tables, 2 mirrors, the lamps work, there are enough sockets for everyone. There is a safe, but you have to pay for it before you start using it, a mini-bar with 3 bottles of water, air conditioning, a tiny TV - I see this for the first time in a 4 * hotel. The bathroom is standard with an adequate shower. For the three of us, the room is a little cramped, although we are of medium build))).
There are simply NO other rooms in the hotel! The standard is occupied by one tourist and a family of 4 people. It is not good.

Mattresses are far from orthopedic. An armchair is also an armchair in Turkey. All the kinks/drops feel great.

Yes, on the websites the rooms are filmed so that they seem quite spacious. In fact, everything is much more modest.

BEACH AND SEA.

You have to go to the beach. A little bit, literally 150 - 200 steps. During this time you pass a wasteland, then some kind of sawmill in the open air and a pretty beach begins. Small. There is grass - green and sheared, there is a slab with loose sand, posts with stretched ropes, so as not to fall down from this slab onto pebbles. Umbrellas, cabins with curtains, plastic white deck chairs. Convenient walkways to the beach bar, tables. Palm trees, olives, bananas, oleanders grow. Tui are cut into a cool fence. Everything is cute!

To the sea descent on 6 steps.

We jump to the pier and from it to the Aegean descent along one more steps. Just like that, you can go into the sea, but it's VERY difficult. From the shore, a stone washes into the water for a meter / a half. It’s such a pleasure to step on them with bare feet (((. I went there a couple of times. In flip-flops. Then there is a small gap of sand. For such terrestrial people as me, or children, there is a little place to wallow in the water. But lonely stones are waiting at the bottom. Many stones are slippery, with overgrown with algae, there are also hedgehogs...
After lunch, the Aegean Sea begins to storm. This is his feature. At this time, even good swimmers lie quietly on the bank or pier.
In short, there is a sea, but not everyone can swim in it. Personally, there was absolutely nothing for me to do there even in calm. THIS IS THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE HOLIDAY! I arrived at the SEA. I can sunbathe on a sun lounger at home.
In Guzelcamli, the entire coast is almost the same.
The nearby hotels have exactly the same beaches. I found a normal entrance nearby on a public beach. And there was something cleaner near the port. All.
I couldn't find a corral, so I would have bought it, of course. Take it with you.

On the second day, the beach of MY DREAMS with a gentle sandy bottom, the purest water was found in a 30-minute walk for 1 euro / entrance - MILLI-park! But that's another story.

CATERING - All inclusive.

There is tea - from disposable bags - like Princess Gita - cheap. Coffee, as it were, is also available - from the machine, but it is no ...There is no kettle in the room. I regretted not taking a kettle and normal coffee.

Beer is poured. Lung. Wine is also presented: white / red. Stronger, probably, there is something - I didn’t drink.

Breakfast: fried sausages or sausage, boiled egg (I saw fried 2 times), scrambled eggs, some one porridge. tomatoes, cucumbers, 3-4 types of olives, cheese, feta, yogurt, steamed muffins.
Lunch and dinner are almost the same: chicken, stewed vegetables, mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, green and vegetable salads, pomegranate sauce, olive oil, some other fillings, local sweets in the form of cakes, watermelon, orange. Sometimes there was a melon and an apple.

The trouble with meat: a couple of times there was goulash.

It’s a real disaster with fish: in 10 days I saw only 3 times.


The biggest problem is sparing food. Particularly sorry for the meat, which is already one species. You stand, smile, ask...I'm not a glutton, but I won't be full of cucumbers and grass. Moreover, they did not go to lunch regularly due to trips. It was REALLY TOUGH. The food is very modest for a 4 * hotel, to say the least.

In the dining room there is a constant jingle of dishes. Used plates are cleaned right in the main hall of the restaurant. Not only is there no aesthetic appearance, but also the ROOM is terrible.

& SPA - IS! WORKS!

Hammam, indoor pool - free access at least every day.
But the services of a massage therapist are already for money. But they are worth it! Full complex with full body massage - $30. I like it. Took a facial massage every other day. Friendly masseurs do an excellent job! The administrator is Polina, about whom many people write with gratitude. I support! Good man and great worker! Polina, thank you guys! I recommend going down to them on the first day.

ANIMATION.

There is one cheerful person who revives adults on the beach and children after dinner.

The concept of the hotel is as follows: a quiet relaxing holiday alone with nature. At 22.15 - 22.30 the lights are turned off and sleep. Adults spend the evening in quiet conversations or on the beach, looking at beautiful sunsets!
SKU-KA-TI-SHCHA...

THE INTERNET.

Good signal at the reception and at the beach bar. Periodically caught in the room. She did not suffer from a lack of connection with the world and her family.

COVID events.

All workers are wearing masks. Waiters in the dining room are wearing gloves.
Tourists are not allowed to wear masks on site. Outside the hotel, a mask is required. The guide also recommends carrying your passport and HES code with you. They can simply be photographed. Our documents were checked 4 times in 10 days. Turkey currently has a curfew from Monday to Saturday from 22:00 to 5:00. On Sundays, a full lockdown is introduced for the whole day. Nothing is working at this time. You can appear on the street with special passes.


Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians, Poles, Turks rest in AKBULUT HOTEL & SPA. Didn't hear any other speech. You need to go here for those who are tired of the noise / din / haste / running and know how to swim))). There is nothing for young and active people to do there. Guzelchamly is a dacha-type settlement. Tourist shops with all sorts of souvenirs, T-shirts, caps, and then I had to look. It takes 45-50 minutes to go to Kusadasi by dolmus.

In general, an adequate VACATION and a reboot after 2 years - took place!
We tried to move around, enjoy the nature of the national reserve.

BUT this hotel is NOT mine.

Although I was able to organize a vacation.
