We are resting in Kusadasi for the fifteenth year in a row.
They flew, as always, without delays and adventures. Meeting in the standard version. The transfer guide girl stands at the door of the bus, marks the arrivals and invites them to the bus. Thirty minutes pass, the nearby buses left the parking lot one by one. Our bus is standing, and the girl is standing at the door with a blank look. When asked about the reason for the delay, he answers: “One family is missing. ” We are sitting, the girl is standing, waiting. Another ten or fifteen minutes pass, the situation does not change. And then, fortunately for us, a young man in a TEZ TOUR uniform appears, apparently suggesting a brilliant solution to the pensive girl - to get on the bus and check the passengers on the list. It turned out that the expected family had long been on the bus. Thank God, let's go.
I listened to the introductory lecture for the fifteenth time on the way from the airport to the hotel. The previous fourteen looked like twin brothers. This time the girl was surprised. Not a word about the history of the country, not a word about geography and climate. What she “given out” can be called a briefing before visiting the market. Her eloquence lasted ten minutes.
The bus was not allowed into the hotel. Dropped off on the street. We practiced in the race with suitcases - the girl was in a hurry.
Now about the hotel.
Stayed at the Gumuldur Resort from 29.08 to 8.09. 18. I draw attention to the word "were", because. it can be called rest only according to the principle “If you don’t work, then you rest”.
Contingent. 80% are Turks with continuously and everywhere screaming children of all ages, 10% are Poles, 10% are citizens of the CIS. The Germans, French and other Europeans, apparently, have already appreciated all the charms of this sanatorium-dispensary of the Red Janissary weaving factory and are not going to experiment anymore.
Territory. Very talented guys managed to fill 32.000 sq. m of the hotel area with low-rise buildings so that there was practically no territory left. Two- and four-story buildings, separate restaurant and lobby buildings, parking. Everything. Only narrow paths between them. But they are filled with cars of Turkish citizens. Buses bringing and taking away tourists do not enter the hotel territory - it is not possible to turn around. Tourists puffing merrily roll their suitcases from the street to the hotel and back.
Number. It is not recommended to touch the exclusive furniture in the room, apparently made by the Waste Labor artel. Furniture tends to move somewhere - to part, to crawl, to fall off. The air conditioner, to the best of its ability, pretends to work, driving warm, moist air from the street into the room. He probably realizes that he is doing something wrong and systematically turns off. Plumbing - "the wreckage of the empire. " The hole in the floor tile reliably ensures the unhindered flow of water from the shower, successfully replacing the shower tray. The seat and lid of the toilet show inexplicable restlessness, and constantly change their position in space. We have to catch them and return them to their place. There are no glasses, let alone wine glasses in the room, although they bring water. Animal lovers will certainly be pleased with the presence of ants in the room. It is best to “catch” the maid immediately after she has moved the mop in your room and demand the missing towels from her.
Restaurant. It is difficult to call this dining room of Mosselprom a restaurant. Be prepared to see: furniture of various sizes, tables without tablecloths, carts with dirty dishes rattling along the tables, waiters carelessly walking around the restaurant during dinner, an empty bar. Do not try to find tea or coffee during dinner. They are not here. As there are no teaspoons or dessert spoons. Be prepared for drinks to be poured into a plastic cup. No water, no wine glasses, no ashtrays on the tables is not worth looking for.
Nutrition. Chicken - rice - pasta, pasta - chicken - rice. A queue of 40-50 people for shawarma. The pastry is disgraceful. Fruits - slightly pink watermelons, tasteless melons, wooden plums.
Beach. A narrow rocky strip of land (from 3 to 10 m wide and 50 m long) between the concrete wall and the water smoothly and unobtrusively, without any distinctions, turns into a wasteland generously fertilized with household and construction waste. Between the hotel fence, festively decorated with neat rings of barbed wire, and the beach there is a public pedestrian road. The entrance to the water is steep, stones. After lunch every day a strong wind, waves.
Pools. The main swimming pool (1.4m) at block A resembles GUM during the sale from morning to evening. The pandemonium is accompanied by appropriate acid music and the shrieks of Turkish children.
The pool between blocks C and D (1.6 m) is quite suitable for its intended use, but only until lunch. After dinner, out of nowhere, teenagers appear without bracelets on their hands and something vaguely reminiscent of the struggle of Nanai boys in the water begins, to the accompaniment of the same heart-rending screams.
Swimming pool with three standard water slides. It is not safe to let a child near them. Poor children of all countries and peoples are pressed against the sides of the pool, fleeing from the hundred-kilogram "boys" covered with thick black wool, with the roar of wounded hippos moving down the hills.
Wi Fi works on the principle: “Do you see a gopher? - Not. “And I don’t see it, but it’s there. ”
The hotel guide Lilia was seen only on the first day. Probably the girl thought that she made an indelible impression on us. I decided that this was enough for us and did not appear at the hotel again.
The end of the holiday was no less exciting. The plan was to leave the hotel at 6:10. At 5:50 began looking for a receptionist in order to hand over the keys to the room and cards of beach towels. This nonsensical activity continued for 35 minutes, but the aforementioned subject was never located.
And, like a cherry on top, the bus arrived 15 minutes late. Exhausted. It was no wonder to forget about us. Instead of an apology, quite logical in such a situation, the transfer guide girl, with an expression of extreme boredom on her face, said: “Fifteen minutes late is normal. If you are not satisfied, you can complain.
In general, we had a good rest. Thank God that they did not poison him and brought him to the airport alive and healthy.

This is a four-star hotel, food - all inclusive, first line. We stayed at this hotel in August 2018.
Main cons:
distance from the airport of Bodrum (about 170 km. ), where we arrived. But there is also a closer airport in Izmir (about 34 km. ); staff and animators do not speak Russian, they speak English with difficulty. Mostly they speak Turkish and German (actually who this hotel is aimed at); the wifi signal is very poor, works at the reception and in the dining room. The speed is only enough for chats and check mail; there was little meat from food, there was only fish three times. Lots of spicy and greasy food; the beach is dirty. Lots of cigarette butts. Smoke everywhere; The sun beds (and mattresses) are also dirty and constantly in the sand; Animation only in Turkish.
Main advantages:
Polite staff, all smiling and ready to help; Large territory; close to the sea; Several pools; Good rooms (by the way, all rooms face the sea); A lot of different food, a lot of sweets; multiple food outlets.

We rested at the hotel from 05.06 11 days. To begin with, I will say that it is very easy to get from the new airport in Izmir - we spent no more than 40 minutes on the transfer. We were traveling as a family, two adults and a toddler. The first impression is that the hotel is very well maintained. Beautiful paths, trees, all greenery.

We rested at the hotel from 05.06 11 days. To begin with, I will say that it is very easy to get from the new airport in Izmir - we spent no more than 40 minutes on the transfer. We were traveling as a family, two adults and a toddler. The first impression is that the hotel is very well maintained. Beautiful paths, trees, all greenery. In general, by the way, the zones on the territory of the hotel are very well distributed, 5 pools (2 for children, 2 for adults, 1 for slides), 3 water slides, 4 bars, a large and cozy dining room, 4 buildings (two for 4 floors and 2 floors ), a playground, a separate authentic restaurant (for a fee), 2 food outlets with fast food and tortillas. The staff does not speak Russian at all. The spa is quite expensive - the hammam is free, but for 30 minutes of massage you will pay at least 30 euros. 98% of rooms with sea view. We had a "superior room", we were settled very quickly - in 7 minutes, the bags were taken, settled in the main building. The room is spacious, comfortable, 1 double and 1 single bed. White towels and linen. Our cleaner was a nice young girl, but she constantly forgot to put something in - either soap, or water, or paper, or towels, you had to come up and ask, but she did not understand Russian and English. She cleaned cleanly, but not very diligently. If you hang "do not disturb", then you can stay for a day without cleaning the room at all. I met at the firm "Anex" - the guides on the transfers were excellent, but the hotel let us down. I came alone to the meeting, as it was scheduled at lunchtime, and my husband was putting the baby to bed in the room. The guide was extremely dissatisfied with the absence of the whole family, which he did not hesitate to express very emotionally. But he spoke so sensibly, and answered all questions. For an excursion to Ephesus and Pamukalle, he charged as much as $ 185 per family. But we walked a little further down the street behind the water park to the taxi rank and found an excellent travel agency that took us to Pamukalla for $ 60 for the whole family on a good transfer with a Russian-speaking guide and a very polite driver. In terms of nutrition - there is no children as such, for adults everything is very good. There is always meat, lots of chicken and turkey. If they cook in front of you (grill, pancakes, tortillas, scrambled eggs) - you will have to stand in line for a bit, but it is usually very tasty. Fruits, sweets, vegetables - everything is also in abundance. The beer is delicious, the rest of the alcohol is not bad. Something like yuppies and water in the public domain, tea, soda, Pepsi - on the bar. The sea is 2 minutes walk from our building. The beach is narrow, the stones were not cleaned, only debris. Beach towels are free, but for a $10 deposit. At the end of the holiday, the battle for sunbeds began, it was necessary to occupy until 8 in the morning both at sea and near the pool. Nearby there are two free beaches, where you can take 2 sunbeds and an umbrella for $ 0.7, but we did not need it. There are swings and hammocks, a sandy beach on the very territory of the hotel. Through all the beaches there is a pedestrian road, it is fenced in the hotel. The animation is not bad, but we were not interested in it. An excellent hookah bar with soulful live Turkish music at the very end of the hotel (for a fee), two stages in the hotel itself, performances by musicians 2-3 times a week, a disco, competitions almost every day. An excellent pedestrian trading rod right at the exit of the hotel, something like our Euroopt opposite the entrance. WiFi in public areas. We liked. We advise.

settled from 9 to 12 - a very long time! The room was rarely cleaned, mostly self-service if you need something, you go to the cleaning lady in the closet and you get it. The dining room is dirty, the floors are sticky, the napkins on the tables are not changed. The food is monotonous and does not change from day to day.

On the beach, you need to borrow sunbeds at 7-30, otherwise it won’t be enough! Building D had cockroaches. I had to buy a raptor from mosquitoes in the market, they ate us on the first night. In short, the vacation is GONE!!! !

Rested with my husband and son at the end of August. The hotel is great! Everything you need for a holiday is available! 5 pools on the territory, there are slides, three bars near the bassists, they swam in them, because the water in the Aegean Sea was cold! Beach towels were taken at the reception every other day (blue ones with white numbers).

Everything you need for a holiday is available! 5 pools on the territory, there are slides, three bars near the bassists, they swam in them, because the water in the Aegean Sea was cold! Beach towels were taken at the reception every other day (blue ones with white numbers). You didn’t have to go anywhere to the beach itself, you list 4 steps - here you are, the sea! On the beach there are sun loungers, umbrellas, you could sunbathe quite under the sound of the surf!
The language barrier is palpable, no Russian belmes from the hotel staff! But there, in the lobby at the reception, he sat daily to introduce the operator, so he rescued us if necessary! In the same place we took the password to enter the Internet (does not catch in the rooms)!
Only foreigners live in the hotel, Russians are few and far between. Because of this, the Turks absolutely did not want to bargain at the market nearby the hotel, because foreigners bought everything from them without bargaining anyway, and we went by minibus to shop in small towns nearby. We also went to a disco and an aquapark (it is paid !!! ) not far away at all. They paid 25 bucks for a child, 70 bucks for two for themselves, but it’s cool right there!
Feeding is beyond praise!! ! And you can choose where to eat! We preferred outdoors, it was possible to smoke without problems at the same time right there!
The rooms were cleaned daily, very carefully! Constantly replenished stocks of soap-ryl accessories!
Excursions were taken from Biblioglobus, then the truth stopped - a little expensive! Cheaper deals can be found right on the street! And so everything suited us, as they worked in their part! Thank you for a well recommended hotel and a great stay!
