We just returned from the Ideal prime beach hotel yesterday. We were together with a loved one (we are 18), flew for 10 days, a ticket for two cost 55 thousand rubles. including flight. I'll start in order. We flew from the tour - there are no complaints about them, wonderful guides, willingly fulfill any request. Several times they even asked how we were doing. : ) The only drawback when we were in the Aegean Islands, the guide from Tez Tour, Anya, inserted the word "exactly" literally several times in each sentence with and without need. In addition, she simply did not know how to speak coherently and clearly. Otherwise, Tez Tour liked it.
So, we arrived by transfer, drive to the hotel for an hour and a half, stop on the way for 15 minutes (for those who need to go to the toilet, smoke or just take a break). The hotel itself was settled quickly, we only had time to go around the territory and go for lunch. The room was in the building with the reception (we lived on the ground floor, we caught Wi-Fi from the lobby there too, so there was always Internet in the room. : )) The room is certainly not royal, but cozy and clean. Balcony overlooking the street, not with transparent railings, like many others, but plasterboard, just above the artificial green terrace. I want to note that the room was cleaned every day, the cleaner is a very friendly and kind woman, a couple of times they exchanged a word with her, left her for tea (one and a half lira, about $ 1), folded towels very beautifully. : ) Speaking of towels, for two we had 2 large white towels, two smaller ones for hands and face, two for legs and two beach towels. Constantly changed. Maybe now many will laugh at me, but this is my first time in Turkey and I have always wondered how the staff is not too lazy to wash so many towels every day, although they do not have time to get dirty at all in a day. I'm sure not all people change towels every day at home. What else about the room, our safe didn't work. It was a whole epic. We called the master, he tried to open - unsuccessfully. Then he said that he was not working and only change. The next day we asked the guide from Tez Tour to replace the safe. This was done quickly, it remains only to open a new safe. But by that time we settled down normally without him, so the masters were not called again. Lucky for those people who check into the room after us, they will probably have the safe opened and they won’t have to run. : ) Then the bathroom, what can I say - everything is very clean, the sink and toilet are cleaned every day, the shower cubicle is a bit old, the door didn’t close tight, but we called the master, and he fixed everything for us. : ) The door began to close perfectly.
As for meals, breakfasts and dinners are held in the extraordinary beauty of the dining room, lunches are in the open area, but even there there are large umbrellas during the hot hours, so you always eat in the shade (we have never had a table under an umbrella). We didn't go for breakfast, but we always had lunch. The food is varied - waffles, croissants, buns, toast, bacon, eggs in various forms, and so on and so forth. There was always a wide variety of greenery, which could not please. For lunch, the soup is different every day. Only a few ingredients float there, more like puree soups and cream soups, but I still took it every day, because they are very tasty. Always fruit, meat, fish. One thing is bad - I could never find a fish fillet, I constantly had to pick out the bones. For dinner, there is nothing but sweets, I especially recommend baklava, it is in Turkey on honey, a very tasty thing. By the way, the hotel has a pastry shop, but there were few there, since at dinner you can find everything the same.

The waiters are wonderful, they left the same waiter for tea several times, once even 5 lire, at the end of the rest he ran after us hopping, changed the tablecloths, replenished napkins, pushed back the chairs, everything was like in a palace. : )
Beach. To be honest, when I first saw it, I laughed a little, I don’t remember a narrower beach anywhere (only 4 rows of sunbeds fit), so for those who like to run along the beach for fun, this will be a disappointment, but it’s decent in width. There are two wooden pontoons on the sides, I don’t advise you to jump into the water from them, and even more so to climb (there are no stairs, and it’s almost impossible to pull yourself up on your hands, high enough from the water). The sea is warm, I didn’t even have to get used to it. Come in and swim right away. Water +24 degrees. I expected it to be cold, I read the reviews, but apparently the sea had already warmed up by our arrival. The water is clean (and on the Aegean islands, where it will be possible to swim, it is generally transparent, like in a pool). The entrance to the sea only let us down, it’s very difficult to enter on the rocks, it’s not so much painful (the pebbles are all round and small), but it’s really difficult, because the pebbles are slippery, and the sea knocks you down with light rolling (even though there are no waves). The beds are very comfortable and soft. By the way, I want to note that in the evening it is very pleasant to sit on a pontoon on them and look at the sea, it is cool, a light breeze blows, just a fairy tale. : )
They did hamam. Cost $40 from Tez Tour. My boyfriend liked it, but I didn't. It seemed that the tinder was very painful (although I had not sunbathed before), I even clenched my teeth from time to time. : ) but the relaxing massage is then pleasant. However, nothing special, not the height of pleasure, but you can relax.
Alya Kart. We went to zen asia 1 time for free. I did not like. I expected more, it was tastier in the dining room. : ) They gave me sushi, Chinese noodles, some kind of salad, Peking duck and dessert. (you can choose from 2 dishes everything except sushi). Noodles for everybody, the duck is delicious, but too sweet for a duck, edible only with rice. Dessert is generally something disgusting, reminiscent of frozen semolina poured with syrup.

And now I'll tell you what exactly for me was the height of pleasure in this hotel. It's live music during dinner, but most importantly, it's old rock ballads played by a guy on a guitar on the veranda, to the right of the disco bar. There was also bed of roses bon jovi and metallica nothing else metters and bryan adams heaven and alleluia and many many other things. While walking along the coast and looking for an old fortress, we looked at other hotels and compared them with ours. Incomparably. We had the best hotel on the coast. While walking, we came across a street of bars. Terrible place. Very noisy. Suitable only for those who like to go to clubs and listen to everything that is played there.
We went to the Aegean Islands. We wanted to go to Ephesus, but it’s far away and, they say, it’s so hot there that it’s not up to the sights already. As for our excursion, I naively dreamed that there would be some useful and interesting information. I must say right away that the tour is not informative, only for those who want to swim in the purest water. The place is wonderful, the most gorgeous views, the screen saver on the desktop is now from there. There were 6 stops, the fifth one is purely symbolic (look at the rabbits, the yachtman feeds them, 5-7 rabbits run out, we stand for two minutes, we swim away). You cannot go out on the island, as it is private and belongs to another hotel. The third stop is the exit to the island of goats. A cute donkey and goats live there. : ) Yes, and the most beautiful photos came from this island. The rest of the stops are just swimming. At the same time, they tell you fictional legends to attract tourists, a digression into history is very short. More like not a sea excursion, but a sea voyage, but for some this is a plus. What was bad was the creepy pop music and again the music playing in the clubs was blaring through the speakers on the yacht all the time. You could only save yourself with headphones, so charge the player. But, again, this is subjective, someone likes this kind of music, maybe you will like it.
Summing up, I will finish the review with the words of my young man - "For the money, the hotel is wonderful. " He had already been to Turkey several times before and when comparing, he noticed only the lack of animation, a relatively small territory, a small beach and only three pools (two indoors and one outdoor). It should be said that he used to be in Turkey in hotels, vouchers to which cost from 60-70 thousand per person and more for 10 days. Given this, for our price, we can say we had a great rest. And indeed, who wants to visit - do not pull, next season prices will probably rise one and a half to two times. Have a nice stay at the hotel. : )
