Ложка мёда в бочке дёгтя A spoonful of honey in a barrel of tar

Before choosing a hotel, I reviewed a lot of photos and reviews, and there were more negative ones... However, when I saw the beauty of the hotel and nature, I decided that the reviews were written by people with great claims... And in vain - since the beauty of this hotel turned out to be just a spoonful of honey in a large barrel of tar. I knew that drinks cannot be taken out to the beach - well, okay, how long to walk to the bar, weak animation - well, okay - having money, you can always have fun at your own expense, they don’t work with children - well, yes, and okay, we were traveling as two families with 6-year-old children and they won’t be bored... And Yulia’s claim about the lack of slippers, hats and a bathrobe, shampoos in the room made me laugh at all, because I don’t see the need for them at all (in it’s hot in a bathrobe, it’s better to walk barefoot, and I never use hotel shampoos). How I regretted later that I didn’t believe Yulia’s review... After all, every word in her review is pure truth, and laid out in a mild form. And so, in order, about my feelings (after arrival, I deliberately paused so that all bad emotions subsided in order to be as objective as possible).
1. Upon arrival, they settled instantly, as they arrived at the hotel by 1 o'clock in the morning along with tourists in the amount of 2 buses. We must pay tribute to the transfer guide Alena (thank you very much) for taking us to the settlement after our request first (as we were with two children). -or requests and bribes from our side (although the voucher was for the Land View room). I will also put a plus on the hotel for the fact that, despite the late time, the lobby bar gave dry rations to tourists from the road, only minus the staff, what did they do these sandwiches with sour faces and almost threw bones like dogs with a very dissatisfied look... So we first got acquainted here with the rudeness of the staff, which was throughout the rest. When we saw the rooms, we were also delighted: the rooms are cozy, neat. Who wrote in the reviews about cramped rooms - these are all unnecessary claims. I believe that the room is for sleeping, washing and changing, and not for dancing. The rooms have everything you need, we did not feel any inconvenience or disgust. SO, RECEPTION, ROOMS, RESTAURANTS, THE ENTIRE HOTEL - 5 points for the external design, very chic... However, all the honey ends here !!!
When they saw the view from the room, they were very happy, the dream was taken away not only from us, but also from the children. We decided to celebrate the arrival on the balcony - the men were 0.5 white, we - a bottle of dry red wine from Duty free under dry rations))) and began to share our delight from the hotel... And then the security came up - we were remarked that we were loud we are leading and culturally asked us to settle down in numbers. Of course, it was unpleasant, but we were not upset and went to the bar opposite the hotel, so as not to interfere with the sleep of the "brolers" (as I later called foreigners vacationing because of their behavior).

It may seem to readers that I am writing everything too tediously and for a long time, but this is so that people understand that we have no special claims for service, since the most important guarantee of a good holiday is a good mood, and not spying in the dirty corners of hotels. And if we don’t have enough service in the hotel, we simply buy it in addition for money.
So, back to our sheep. . .
2. FOOD. I personally didn’t like it very much, since the assortment for choosing is small, I saw 3-4 times more in other hotels. But in any case, you won’t stay hungry, because you can stuff your stomach with something. They served good fish, I saw seafood twice in 12 days. But in general, the food tasted so-so. MINUS - for such a hotel, the grill with one chef is too small, because of this there were frantic queues for the grill, however, like the restaurant, there were queues (though a little less) for meat, fish and fried eggs. The chip of the hotel is a confectionery, which differs from other hotels in its cakes (Turkish hotel desserts are mainly made from semolina and all sorts of nastiness). However, this is not a feature for me, since I am not a sweet tooth, and the rudeness of the local staff did not sweeten their sweets at all...
4. BEACH - horrible and dirty. In general, I like to walk on pebbles, but here the pebbles are special - all the stones are SHARP, since there are mountains around the sea. The beach is not cleaned from garbage, respectively, garbage floats in the sea - pieces of paper, bulls from cigarettes and other things left over from uncultured tourists. Since the beach is located in a bay and there are VERY many ships, yachts, boats and other marine equipment on the sea, there are VERY many solarium films on the sea surface. And since the hotel is one of the most beautiful on the coast, opposite it (especially in the evenings), a lot of recreational marine equipment always hung up (we went on a yacht for the "Turkish Night" and dinner was served to us right in front of our hotel). The sea, if you are lucky with the course, was cold 5 days out of 12. But again, it can be called warm conditionally (compared to the ice that was before). On the Antalya coast, the sea is much cleaner and warmer. Homeless dogs bathe in the sea with vacationers, then they run out to the beach and shake themselves right on tourists, and cats also climb everywhere. A feature of the beach and pools is naked foreign aged aunts in bikinis. Some show off their implants, but mostly they are 50-year-old aunts with spaniel ears and fat circles around the waist - in general, the sight is disgusting, I was sick of this kind. But we had to take the children away from the beach when such "models" appeared. Thank God that they hung out mostly near the pool, so we didn’t even come close to the pool because of them. In addition, they let an uncle who sold strawberries and cherries right on the beach. It immediately reminded me of Crimea, the only thing missing was baklava-makhlava. And for their favorite "broilers" (there is a really biased attitude towards the Slavs in the hotel), I would like to make a separate nudist zone, since there are really a lot of them. Thank you, at least we didn’t walk around the hotel naked.

5. SERVICE IN THE RESTAURANT is not bad only thanks to some waiters. For 2-3 days we made friends with some friendly waiters, so we were served quickly and well (tips and cigarettes helped with this). Drinks for lunch and dinner (including . alcoholic) are brought only by the order of the waiters, they will not give you hands, so it is better to encourage the waiters, otherwise you will have to dry up from thirst.
6. SERVICE IN THE SNAKE BAR is disgusting, as only boorish staff work there. The waiter Mustafa (a plump guy with glasses) sticks to the girls. Personally, he offered me to spend the night with him, which offended not only me, but also my husband. And the bartender from this bar generally allowed himself to push me. I will describe the situation specifically. Since the hotel with animation is very bad, we amused ourselves with trips at our own expense. After a boat trip, we arrived at the hotel at 23.45 and were very thirsty. On this day, as luck would have it, THE MAID DID NOT APPEAR IN THE ROOM AT ALL, and therefore there was no water. We went down to the liquor bar to drink a cocktail, and as soon as we approached the bar, the lights immediately went out EXACTLY at 00.00 and the staff in black ties (apparently, they are looking after the staff, I called them "kruki" - the same sinister) started yelling "NO SERVIS" and kicked us out of the bar with the child. I began to beg them to give the child a drink from the road, but everything was like in a Cinderella fairy tale - the carriage turned into a pumpkin, and the bartenders into evil rats. Then with the child I ran to the snake bar, where three men stood in line and they were still poured. But then the bartender (his name is Nuri) came up, stood in line between me and these men in line, pushed me away from them, yelled "NO SERVIS" and pushed me into the shoulders with his hands. I was shocked and demanded a Russian-speaking manager (since there really problems with the Russian-speaking staff). One of the ominous "crooks" ran up and started yelling at me in English and kicking me out. My demands to sort out the situation were ignored by a sign like "fak. yu". on the contrary, where they drank at their own expense along with our ultra all-inclusive. My great mood after the yacht was raped by the boorish service of this "magnificent" hotel. As a result, the next morning I cried out of resentment and packed my bags (3 days before departure), after which, on a nervous basis, I had a hypertensive crisis. It would not be a shame if everyone was not served, otherwise they poured a drink for foreigners, and we were rudely kicked out. So after all, the bartenders there are far from being saints - I have repeatedly watched them sit down under the bar and drink alcohol. I complained about the staff to the Russian-speaking girls near the reception, they promised to sort it out, but that’s how it all sunk to the bottom.
8. ANIMATION - it exists purely theoretically, very stupid, only "broilers" laugh at it. And the number with Whitney Houston generally brought me to tears. They made a stupid parody of the great artist, fans still mourn for her, another year has not passed since she died, and these morons are neighing - I got the impression that they are dancing and neighing on her grave, trampling on the bones of a great legend. I left and didn’t go to their performances anymore, so as not to get upset. As for children's animation, it's generally chaos. A young lady named Gul, instead of working with children, does exercises and stretches. Well, okay, God bless her, she entertained her daughter herself. So she began to do stretching in shorts, so that half of the genitals came out... She pulled her leg to the orphanage and let's show her charms in stretching to children. After that, I did not take my daughter to the mini-club.
7. GENERAL IMPRESSION FROM THE HOTEL - a spoon of honey in a barrel of tar. I left with very bad impressions not only from the hotel, but also from Marmaris, as in this city they are trying to deceive tourists everywhere. It’s not worth going here because of the sea - it’s really dirty from the solarium. I really didn’t like the fact that there are a lot of cats walking in the restaurant and the snake bar. One of them even climbed on my knees and asked to eat. I didn’t see such unsanitary conditions in catering in Ukraine. WISH TO THE HOTEL - remove the boorish staff with animals, add normal animation.

And a wish for tourists - if your vacation is to eat, drink, sleep and sunbathe (swimming is dangerous in a solarium), then you will like the hotel. The main contingent of this hotel is foreign pensioners (friendly and intelligent people), as well as European broilers - these are aggressive, very fat, all the time Eating people with dull and empty eyes.
