...А сервиса всё-таки не хватает... ... But the service is still not enough ...

I'll try to be as objective as possible. So. . . From Dalaman 1 hour 40 minutes. The hotel is simply immersed in greenery so much that it is not even visible from the sea, and mountains rise around - therefore the sun and moon rise from behind the mountains and go into the mountains, and not into the sea. The area is clean, you can see what is being cleaned. The location is reasonable, beautiful, but very prominent - for people with heart problems, pressure or even minor problems with the musculoskeletal system, going down to the beach or to a restaurant, going back to the room will be difficult - very steep steps, paths and the slope itself. Great job by the landscape designer, amazing views. But the rooms are shabby, although all with balconies and all look at the sea, or rather at a huge bay, reminiscent of a giant mountain lake. Food for 4 stars "with a stretch" (delicious, but monotonous - almost all dishes are repeated with a few exceptions). Plenty of vegetable dishes and salads. A meager assortment of hot dishes, side dishes. Very tasty watermelons, everything else is so-so. Melons are generally impossible to eat (why are they served? ). An abundance of delicious sweet dishes, but only for lunch and dinner. Seafood is missing. I recommend not to drink bright drinks (like our former YUPI), it's better to have orange juice for extra. fee (3 lira - a large glass). Сola, Sprite, Fanta, mineral water with or without gas - "ALL INCLUSIVE". By the end of the trip, you drink beer like a soda (although the staff claims that it is "TUBORG"), and by the way, for an amateur, so does wine - it seemed to me very sour, although a matter of taste. Strong spirits "ALL INCLUSIVE" up to 38 degrees: vodka, gin, rake (Turkish vodka), cognac, and the rest for extra. fee. On the beach, sunbeds are free, mattresses (very under-killed) to them too, and you need to take towels with you either your own or from your room. The fact that the beach is under your nose is true, but the road separates the beach from the hotel, although this does not cause much discomfort, since there is practically no traffic along it. Almost the entire beach is artificial, lined with sandstone (as the agency explains the type of beach is a slab), three wooden piers, and two small metal ladders for descending into the water, the bottom is sandy, a little rocky, the water is clean, but when there is a slight wind, it is washed ashore trash. A small part of the beach: fine dark sand with a smooth entry into the water and limiter buoys (they mostly rest with children). On the beach in the bar, only bright drinks (such as YUPI) and water in the cooler are heated by noon, so drinking them is not only not necessary, but even impossible. There is no staff behind the bar, self service. There is a refrigerator with bottled and canned beer (for an additional fee), but under a huge lock. The staff on the beach only removes garbage and reusable plastic cups (the staff collects them around the hotel, washes and reuses). ATTENTION ALL! COMPLETE NO DISPOSABLE CUPS! For cold drinks you have to go to a bar (across the road and up steep steps 50 meters - uncomfortable), a spacious toilet is also across the road from the beach (you can find it without asking for a certain smell). The air conditioner in the room (which has seen more than one repair), thank God, worked perfectly. Refrigerator (aka mini-bar) worked only after repeated reminders at the Reception. The size of the tip for cleaners does not affect the quality of cleaning (as it seemed to me the bed was not changed at all, but I could be wrong). But they repeatedly laid out different figures from towels and sheets, decorating with flower petals. Pillows - synthetic winterizer. The sheets are very thick. A standard toiletry set (toilet paper, shower gel, soap, body cream, etc. ) is present. The hair dryer is not convenient, it is better to take with you what you are used to. Dushkabin can be safely thrown away, although you can wash yourself, but especially without touching anything. All rooms are the same, at least for the CIS countries, because we talked and it turned out that everyone in the room has two single beds, standing close together, but with easily moving mattresses - I checked (I think that for a honeymoon, whether rest will not be very pleasant). And another bed is present through the aisle, but without a bed (apparently as a sofa - complete nonsense). A TV with a small screen and an almost complete absence of colors is tuned to 6 channels, of which only one is Russian-language - ORT. Safe in the room (paid), shower cabin, furniture, doors - sucks. The room does not open with a magnetic key, but with a regular one. At the highest point of the hotel there is a room for a Turkish bath (not bad, as it should be made of stone). And the sauna, gym (as well as an assortment of exercise equipment), massage rooms, to put it mildly, leave much to be desired (very miserable, except for pity, they don’t cause other feelings). A volleyball and basketball court with sand and small stones, a tennis court with a constantly sagging net, a table tennis table (with a broken net) in a deplorable state. Near the pool and in the pool is constantly tusnyak Europeans, Turks, Arabs. Ours prefer the beach, because the pool smells of bleach so much - full Atas. But if all the vacationers went over to the sea, then I think there would hardly be enough sunbeds and places on the beach. The staff is smiling and friendly, although their service is better than ours, noticeably. Without basic knowledge of English, it will be a bit tight. There is an amphitheater, but it is not involved in the cultural programs of the hotel. There is a playground. For the entire stay at the hotel (9 days, 8 nights), in the evening in the Snack Bar there was once a show "Turkish Dances" with one dancer and once a Fakir show, and on the other evenings the same music and the same music just sounded the program of the Animators, mainly for children and teenagers, causing affection of parents (it is understandable that the hotel is designed for a quiet, family vacation). It is better to go to a disco and have fun in Marmaris (15 minutes - 2.5 lira, by minibus). The program "ALL INCLUSIVE" from 10.00 to 23.00. Excursions offered by TEZTOUR are good. I didn't go much myself, but I heard a lot of amazing responses. True, if you leave for an excursion before breakfast, then as a dry breakfast at the Reception you are given a sandwich with stale bread and very meager filling (you can safely throw it in the trash, in any case, I would not give this to a child, and the age of the children coming to the hotel from breastfeeding and older, by the way, this is not provided for in the menu). Guides from TEZTOUR in the hotel are weak - excursions are luxurious, but they don’t know how to advertise them, and they don’t have prices in the price list (I wonder why? ). Shopping at the hotel is purely conditional, photos from a local photographer are cool, of course, but 1 pc. costs 10 lira (bargain). For general health improvement and a variety of recreation, I recommend walking or morning jogging in the vicinity of the hotel - sea air, the aroma of mountain herbs, pine and oleander groves - nectar for our bodies. Considering all the pluses and minuses, the rest was still a success. In general, the Goal has been achieved: to get healthier, move away from stress, change the picture, relax the brain, sleep, contemplate, listen to the silence, get positive emotions, renew the body (the benefit is a Turkish bath, and a quality massage on the territory of the hotel at any daytime and at a reasonable price) . There was no particular negative, but it's not worth going again. Still, good service matters, and here it is missing. Thank you for your attention! There are many photos of the hotel! I can send!
