So, we are resting in this hotel now! We stopped at 2810 at night, we fly back to St. Petersburg on 09.11 and THANK GOD!! ! Of the advantages of this hotel, only its location and pretty good and free internet almost everywhere (in the rooms too), but do not fall for it, please!
And now let's go:
We live in the main building, at least that's what it says on our check-in voucher. Let me explain, this is the building that is closest to the reception. Last floor, top. A very beautiful view from the common balcony, a view of the entrance to the hotel, a children's pool and slides, mountains and a mosque, this is where the good ends quickly…

It all started with settlement. I’m used to the fact that you can and should use a safe in 5-rooms for the safety of your documents and valuables, but I was confused by its location in the closet... It was not on the top or middle shelf, as usual, but in the compartment for suitcases and outerwear in the very bottom. I was a little embarrassed and decided to try to move it for some reason, and what was my amazement when it turned out that the safe remained in my hands, that is, it absolutely (from the word AT ALL !!! ) was not bolted to the wall. You could not even puzzle over the cipher, but just take it and take it out of the room !! ! (After that, we don’t leave money there at all. Let’s go through the room further. The room is a typical studio in size, only without a kitchen, a bathroom is combined. Sooooo small balcony, I've never seen anything like it before!!! We don't hear animation at night, as others write, since we have a view from the balcony to a small courtyard with a banana palm in the middle.
The room is cleaned badly. Towels are reluctant to change. Bed linen was changed today for the first time in 5 days, and then, for this I had to go to the trick. We took all the linen off the beds and threw it down on the floor, just like they do with towels when they want to be changed. Once, yesterday for the first time they brought us water to the room, before that they dragged and drag water from the "canteen". But yesterday, it was something! Suddenly there was a knock on the door and without waiting for an answer, they simply opened it with their key! I rushed towards, on the threshold stood a young man with two bottles of water... And if the child was alone? And if the wife was alone after the shower? Why not knock and leave water at the door? This is the height of indecency and tactlessness! (As I wrote above, a beautiful panoramic view opens up from the common balcony, including the mosque... Since it is very close... So now we know exactly what time Muslims pray and how many times a day! ) Even in the mornings at 08:15 we have an “alarm clock”! A man comes with a hammer and beats off the ice from a huge refrigeration unit, which is literally next to us. He usually tries for 20-30 minutes! That is, oversleep for breakfast, even if you really want to, it will not work! )
Sewage stinks everywhere and several times! In the morning and in the evening it stinks in the rooms, during the day it stinks at the restaurant and the pool. Despite the fact that the hotel claims to be a 5-star hotel, there is not even an electric kettle in the room, why is there a kettle, not even a couple of mugs or glasses, and that’s not even there... The air conditioner in the room is so old that, apparently, it survived the Turkish revolution and the overthrow of the centuries-old regime of Osman Pasha, apparently it is about 100 years old, so at the time of Ataturk it probably still worked, although I won’t say it... Now it’s scary to even turn it on, I’m afraid that its revolutionary spirit will punish me with a discharge of current...
Food in the canteen. It is in the “canteen”, otherwise I can’t name this institution... Dirt and unsanitary conditions are everywhere! For the entire restaurant (two huge halls of 200 square meters each) there are only 10 waiters, absolutely inexperienced, it is clear that they are schoolchildren or students on a part-time job... Everything that concerns food on the territory of the hotel always closes at least half an hour ahead of schedule !!!

The most tolerable, but outstanding is breakfast and dinner.
For breakfast, usually: dry breakfasts with various sour, but extremely healthy, because natural and natural yoghurts. There is also rice porridge with milk, there are omelettes, there are scrambled eggs, there are pancakes and a kind of Russian donuts in the Turkish manner (like making a hole yourself), I especially want to note pastries, in this the Turks are at their best! But even here it was not without jambs, they often shove yesterday's one... (There are two press grills in which everyone who loves toast with cheese makes them for themselves. Cheese is in abundance, but they found it to be an amateur, although they even found smoked! Sausages are unlikely to please experienced gourmets. Cutlets and sausages can be eaten, but without great pleasure, only with terrible hunger... Tea and coffee are very mediocre, but quite tolerable. Powdered juices are also always present. Juices like: freshly squeezed fresh in the canteen never happens, even for money !! ! You you can find something similar, but mostly from a pomegranate on the beach for a couple of dollars or not far from the hotel at the entrance to the Vitamin restaurant.
At lunch, several "meat" dishes and side dishes are added. You will not find pure meat here for anything! Don't even try! It is found only in a vegetable comb (beef), rarely found on skewers, similar to a lamb flat and round lollipop. There is chicken, turkey, it will be presented to you as a baked minced kebab, which serves well as a main course and also goes well as an addition, or rather a filling to their empty (only with a smell, sometimes with champignons) soups. Although my wife just liked the soups. Vegetables, herbs, sauces and all sorts of crossings were in abundance. Small selection of cakes, but still there.
Dinner. Here you will see everything that was not eaten at breakfast, disguised with different sauces, added to salads and soups or simply warmed up, but sometimes, not often, there is also duck. I myself was pleasantly surprised.

Alcohol. Absolutely everywhere on the territory of the hotel it is disgusting!! ! Don't drink!! ! Do not harm your health!! ! This is a common practice in many hotels of this class, but these have surpassed all! They managed to make bad even beer! I got the impression that some strong and, of course, cheap alcohol is being added to a barrel of beer! The logic is quite simple and everything is quite pragmatic: people will get tipsy faster and will drink less, because they don’t fit anymore, and for those who do, at least dilute it with water, they don’t care anyway... God bless! Wine is low-grade sour, cocktails can be made delicious from shit and sticks, I’m telling you this as a former bartender, but what am I talking about ? ! We are the Cesars hotel, why try here, for whom? For the Russians? They will do just fine! They are not Germans who do not bargain and buy for the price that is set for Euros, and not like cunning Russians for Dollars, and even break the price two or three times...
The staff is frankly rude without embarrassment.
Beach towels.
Despite the fact that at the reception they give you cards for beach towels, this does not give you any right to receive them! First, you must listen to a "fascinating lecture" about the benefits of their massage and procedures and allow yourself to be signed up for a trial massage, only by allowing all this you will receive the coveted prize - your towels!
Animation in the hotel.
She probably exists. But very unobtrusively... During the day you will never see them entertaining tourists with sporting events. Sometimes, but not always, in the evenings there is a children's disco and a bad and uninteresting show with caustic and offensive jokes of the animation chief against tourists who forgive him everything... In general, the result is this, if you do not want to ruin your vacation, do not spend it in this hotel!
