Очень довольна Very satisfied

I chose the Ideal Prime Beach Hotel because I wanted to live closer to the center and to the street of bars, but in the end I got there only for 15 minutes the night before leaving)) My husband and I went on a honeymoon trip from July 17 to July 24.2012. In general, I was very satisfied! We arrived around 12 noon. All arrivals were quickly given wristbands, shown to a convenient place for luggage and invited to dinner. We flew to Bodrum, from there it took about 2-2.5 hours to go (about the same from Dalaman), so we were a little tired, but when we saw the hotel area, we forgot about everything! Very green, clean, the sea is visible from almost every point of the territory, a lot of palm trees, just a lot! So we left our luggage near the reception and went to a restaurant. The first impression is where to go here))) I mean, where did we find the food quickly enough, but what table should we sit at? There are a lot of them! It turns out that you can sit down for anyone) After dinner, we sat for a short time in the lobby and received a card from the room (it was not yet 14.00 on the clock, and there were quite a lot of people entering). So the long and tedious settlement did not touch us. By the way, at Turtessa we paid for a Land View room, that is, with a view of the hotel or the road, but they gave us a room with a sea view! I don’t know who to thank, the travel agent or the hotel, but it was very nice!!!
Now I can tell you about the number. Indeed, it is not spacious and not as cool as we would like. The room was on the top floor, so the temperature was off scale. The air conditioning did not work when we were not in the room (this is their system). Many seem to lose their card and, one might say, buy a new one at the reception for 5 euros (so that the air conditioner works all the time), but we did without it. Many wrote about lighting - insufficient. We didn't feel uncomfortable about it either. I was completely satisfied. They were in the room before sleep, after sleep and when they changed clothes, so the TV with a meager set of Russian-language channels also did not particularly upset. Bathroom with excellent, as for me, plumbing, comfortable shower, enough space. There are some problems with ventilation. She is not there))) But the balcony... When the sun goes down, it has no price. I would have slept there. The view of the sea and mountains is very impressive!
Nutrition. I don’t even know where to start... Firstly, you can eat around the clock! And for a week of rest, the diversity did not turn into monotony. I love potatoes, in any condition (except raw, of course))). So, in addition to the constantly present fries, where without it, side dishes only from potatoes were constantly different. I'm not talking about other side dishes. And the meat! And grilled, and fried on a spit, and in a frying pan, and in salads, and with a side dish together! The patisserie deserves special attention. Don't repeat our mistakes! Try everything there! From what we tried, we liked every cake and pastry. In general, my appetite was quenched absolutely and completely! It’s better not to drink juices there, I replaced them with a sprite there. Which, by the way, you can even take on the beach, like potatoes baked with cheese or olives or corn, as your darling wishes. Alcoholic drinks only until 00.00, but if you take two at 23.50, it will last longer))) Oh, by the way, only two drinks in one hand. In the a la carte restaurant, we ate our fill (were in Mexican, there is also international). Yes, wine there is from $30 per bottle, but the rest of the drinks that you drink at the hotel are free there too.

The staff was friendly to us, no one was rude, we communicated normally. There are almost no Russian-speaking staff there, and not everyone speaks English, but they naturally understand the basic phrases. The maid came every day, they left a tip, 1 dollar, or 1 euro or 2 lira. She always made the bed, we did not wait for the swans, but twisted the flowers)))
The territory of the hotel is very large, as for me. Anyway, I expected less. There are very comfortable sofas on the grass, we called them cocoons, because they practically have a roof. We really enjoyed spending the evening there. There are, however, few of them, so it’s quite difficult to have time to take it. We succeeded))) There are slides, I rode)))
Excursions. One was taken from the hotel guide Rudolf. He did not deceive - he liked the trip to the island of Cleopatra. And they saw a thirty-year-old mussel and an octopus, and the sand blinded Mark Antony! The water on the island is the clearest! Everything was great, we swam a lot. The whole excursion on a boat, two floors, it was very comfortable and pleasant to be there! The second tour was taken on the street near Dima from Zaporozhye))) Not far from the hotel, if you cross the road and walk to the right. We went to Pamukkale. The difference between the prices for one person at Rudolf from the hotel and Dima from the street is $15. We were scared that the bus was full of foreigners, that the guide couldn't speak a few words in Russian, that they wouldn't let us go anywhere. The bus was completely Russian-speaking, the guide Elena from St. Petersburg told a lot, answered all questions and showed everything that was paid and even more)))
The overall impression is more than positive! I really want to go back!
