In general, the hotel is not bad and on a five-point scale I put 3 plus. We arrived at the hotel on the evening of 09.06. 2010 and immediately we were given bracelets on our hands and already filled out cards, asked to sign, there are Russian-speaking staff at the reception. I asked for a view of the sea or mountains, they answered me for the sea and we went to room (521) on the 5th floor satisfied. Didn't pay anyone anything. Belarusians were mainly settled on the 5th-6th floors. Sea view rooms have pros and cons, since we were with a child, there was a restaurant below us, then we could see the pool and of course the sea. From the very morning it was heard how the audio scarer (bird repeller) was chirping, the cymbals were ringing, and from about 10.00 to 23.00 animators start working and turn on the music at lunchtime at 1.30, the music is turned off. You can hear it all in the room if the balcony is closed. If this is not taken into account, then there are solid pluses: the view of the sea, sunset, etc. By the way, there was no smell of the kitchen and sewerage. Some had a mountain view and a tour. dachas: you can’t hear the noise - din - music, but there is no view of the sea, in general, choose, I would take a view of the mountain with a child. Everything in the room is standard: through the cardboard doors you can hear everything, for example, screaming in the hall. The maid cleaned the room very badly every other time, they specially hung a sign and money on the bed, zero sense. For a week, I didn’t vacuum at all and the dust, respectively, too, changed linen 2 times, toilet paper. and put soap a couple of times. Uncomfortable mechanics will be sent to set up. Therefore, in the room we have air conditioning. switched off periodically. 2. TV with remote control (2 Russian channels: RTR planet, RTR Russia) 3. Mini refrigerator, 4. Safe for a fee 1 day = $ 1, I got a netbook 10.1 inch + documents. Who does not believe there is a photo 5.2 lamps + picture + 1 double bed + 1 single bed + 2 bedside tables + mirror + wardrobe + 3 blankets + hangers + carpet + bench 6. clothes dryer 7. plastic: table + 3 chairs 8. Toilet: 3 large towels + 3 small towels + 1 for feet. Hairdryer, soap, shampoos. There was always hot and cold water 9. Wireless Internet in the room (free of charge), not on all floors, for example, I didn’t see modems on the 6th floor (we have 4 pieces on the fifth). Sky is, but it slows down when you turn on the video, maybe they limit the speed. 10. radio (3 waves) The hotel area is large and green 2 children's slides and 2 children. pools, 2 large waters. slides and 2 adults. pool. The attendants do not speak Russian - Turks. The animators are Russian girls and there are Turks too. I liked the metal elevators, they all worked (3 elevators), blue lighting, time, temperature, radio, but very stuffy especially when 7-10 people enter there. The railings on the balcony are very low, I (186cm) are just below the waist, so look after the child in both! The hotel has 2 cellars: in the first one there is a conference room + a gym, and in the second one there is a disco, billiards, slot machines, a sauna, a massage room. We were lucky with the weather: the average temperature is +30, the water is +22+23, the Aegean sea is super-clean and transparent, when the waves (after lunch) the water was colder, but it was ok to swim. Fish swim nearby. The people in the morning at 6 tried to take sunbeds (mostly by the pool and the sea). We were constantly on the playground and next to the sunbeds were always free. The child needed only a swing and a slide. Another 10-15 meters from the territory there is a city beach, there were always places and not pebbles like ours, but sand with pebbles, there is also a volleyball court at the hotel. A couple of days after our arrival, 2 paths were laid along which it was convenient to enter the sea. There was also the so-called second floor on the beach (above the bar and disco), purely for sunbathing, where few people went up and it was always free there. Nutrition. That's the problem, especially for a child. There is no children's cuisine as well as European, there is Turkish, mostly dishes are all peppered, spicy, pickled, etc. Even if you take a double boiler with you and cook porridge in it for a small one. The child practically did not eat anything, they do not know how to cook potatoes. Hot dishes with sauces. The little one ate pasta, water, potatoes somehow. Sausages and sausage real soy, we did not eat. The meat was chicken, beef, fish, but again with different sauces. I recommend fresh vegetables, yoghurts, dry breakfast with milk, cheese, fried eggplant. Some salads were made from products that remained, for example, from breakfast, sausages were cut and mixed with corn. From drinking, I do not recommend the so-called UPI from automatic machines (they write like concentrated juice). As many have said, the best drink is water. We drank bottled water, coffee, tea, cocoa, white red wine. From free drinks until 23.00 there were also sprite, cola, fanta, Turkish vodka, beer, cognac, etc. of local production. Fruits: there were watermelons (at dinner on the second day, the little one got poisoned by him, she vomited all night), melons, 1 time strawberries, green apricots, small green apples - sourness. The problem of food is that flies fly in the hall both open and closed (not so much, but it was necessary to drive them away from the plates quite often). After 2 days, the wife got poisoned (twisted her stomach and spent the whole day near the toilet), a doctor friend gave an antibiotic and the next day her husband recovered. So, first of all, take medicines for stomach disorders, including antibiotics, and then everything else. Of course, you won’t stay hungry from 07 to 10 for breakfast, from 12-13 snacks: pizza, scrambled eggs, french fries, hamburgers, spaghetti, 12 to 1.00 lunch, from 13-17 ayran drink, gozleme cakes, 17-18 pastries, cookies, rolls, 19-21.00 dinner Animation is interesting, unobtrusive, but gets bored quickly, almost the same thing every day. In parallel, girls with children do not work! The children are in their own room, and the animators nearby are resting and yawning (they turn on cartoons, sometimes they give paints) So look after the child yourself, if the child leaves, they may not know where he is! Children's disco from 21.00-22.00 00 Games for free; Nast tennis (rackets with a ball I recommend taking them with you are bad), there are nets there 3 tables, darts, volleyball, basketball (cool ground), great tennis excellent rackets and balls (3 courts, nets are stretched), mini golf (one name) , Water sports free of charge (on the beach at 9.00 you need to reserve for a certain time at the rental point) single canoe, catamaran for 4 people. Shopping: not far from 20-25 minutes on foot or minibus ($ 1 per person there) is the urban village of Ozdere, the village is beautiful, you can buy souvenirs cheaper there than near the hotel (we took soap, key chains), there is basically nothing to buy there, but there is also a supermarket where we bought small juice in a tetrapack. We didn’t go on excursions because it’s tiring with a child, all excursions and cities are nearby, but the price tags for many go off scale (last time I was in 2004) Pamukalle 200 km, Ephesus 30 km, Ymir 45 km, water park 26 km (one of the 10 largest in Europe) , Yacht. In the town of Ozdere at the local travel agency all excursions are cheaper by $ 5-10 than at the hotel. If the company is 6-10 people, then I would boldly go from a local agency, and if with my family, then by no means, they have a Russian-speaking guide. Some tourists come constantly to this hotel, in principle, I would also come if the management would fix the issues with food + necessarily children's cuisine, because the hotel is positioned as a family! The contingent: Belarusians, Germans, Turks, Romanians (they come by car for 1600 km at home, I spoke with one), there are Poles, there was a large family from the states. By the way, according to Duty Free, if you make purchases in Minsk-2, then prepare a small change, often they don’t have change, and they naturally round in their direction, ordinary packages with a handle for 15 euro cents. At Izmir airport, transparent bags are free of charge and they pack everything in front of you and the receipt is visible.
