Кризис заметен The crisis is visible

I want to express my gratitude to all those who answered me individual appeals at the addresses indicated by them. Thanks to the information received, it was not necessary to step on the same rake a second time. Rested in Emre in the first half of September 2009. The crisis made adjustments: the number of vacationers was significantly reduced, and sun loungers on all beaches were half empty.
The currency exchange according to the signs (for 1 dollar 1.4437 lira) is the same everywhere, but when the same banknote is shown in different places, different amounts of lira will be called. Somewhere the commission is invented, somewhere thousandths are rounded up, etc. In our time, the most profitable (one to one) was at the reception. It is more profitable to carry out all purchases and payments in lira. By the way, 1 lira = 25 rubles at this time.
The room has a small working refrigerator, individual air conditioning, 14-inch TV with Russian programs "RTR-Planet" and "1", 3 beds and an armchair-bed. The bathroom has hot and cold water around the clock. Half of the hotel's rooms face north - mountains in the distance, near a private courtyard with chickens and roosters. When the balcony door is open, you can hear music from cafes until late, and early in the morning - roosters and calls to prayer from the loudspeaker of the nearest mosque. The second half of the rooms face south - under the windows there is a road, behind it is Emre Beach, behind which is the sea and the sun. But if you want to see the sea, as well as the territory of Emre Beach with pools and a beach, then you need to be in rooms No. 1N12 - 1N16.

In Emre, at the reception, there is 24-hour access to a machine with hot tea and coffee, cold powder drinks, as well as just water. There is Wi-Fi Internet access.
The beach does not differ in size from the neighboring ones. But! On those on the left, a 10-meter metal ladder with a railing and a synthetic anti-slip track is equipped to enter the water - a few more steps, and the water is up to the neck. On those on the right, the beach is covered with fine sand, which makes it comfortable to walk. And on "our" beach there is both - 2 in one! It is comfortable to move along the beach and enter the water. The sea was transparent: the bottom (algae on it) was visible from the very shore to the depths. The temperature (according to information from the Internet) of the air was 30 at noon, 25 in the evening, and water - 25 and 27, respectively. The pools are colder.
The dining area consists of indoor and outdoor adjacent areas. Above the roof there is a bar (the only one open after lunchtime), open from 10 am to midnight. A couple of times a week during dinner in the open part, live performances of famous songs in European languages. Meals - the usual for hotels in Turkey. But in general, I advise you to remember the lessons of geography before leaving anywhere. Where can Turkey have its own strawberries in September-October or watermelons in May-June? This is not the case in street vegetable shops.
Haven't heard any complaints about the staff. Probably, in the absence of pandemonium, there is no reason to spoil each other's nerves.
Excursions were taken from the Russian guide Valentina, as advised by the predecessors. Opposite Tropical. From Emre, away from the city center, about 5 minutes walk. Moreover, Valentina sells a bath just in Emre Beach. You can take an excursion for tomorrow without any problems. With a hotel guide, everything is hundreds of rubles more expensive and many days ahead (you never know what will happen to the weather and health? ).
