Мои впечатления My impressions

We were at the hotel from 04.01. 09 to 15.01. 09.
The hotel is quite nice, cozy. Food is normal (in my opinion). Service is average. Bathrobes were brought on the second day, slippers on the fourth, but these are trifles.
There is a swimming pool, but for me the water is cold, there are saunas, billiards, table tennis. But it's boring in the evenings, it's better to go with a company.
Of the real problems, the dollar-to-lira exchange rate is simply extortionate. If the exchange rate in the village was more than 1.5, then at the reception it was 1.1, and in the cafe on the hill it was even steeper - one to one. You need to change money at the bank in Sarykamysh itself. Another problem is it is very problematic to exchange big money for small ones. Moreover, the logic of the problem is completely incomprehensible - we change it in order to give them something to tip. As a result, we were left without a tip a couple of times.

The most important thing is that there is snow!!! ! The first four days it snowed and it fell a lot.
Experienced skiers will probably be bored, but just right for us.
there are few people, there are no queues. Only on Saturday from 11 to 13 there was a queue for 5 minutes maximum, and this despite the fact that buses from Palandoken came every day and brought people to ride. They had practically no snow and most of the lifts did not work. As a result, some tourists moved to our hotel.
The rental costs $ 20, but we took it with us (we rented houses - it turned out to be quite a savings). Skis and boots were left in the ski room for free.
The coolest thing is that the lift is 50 meters from the hotel. I went down in the morning in slippers, changed my shoes, took my skis and..... you are already on the lift.
In general, the impressions were the most positive.
