Hi all. )! Came back 4 days ago. traveled with family. Well, let's start in more detail from arrival to departure. traveled with tour operator Pegasus. in principle, many are not happy, but we were satisfied with everything. (experience in this matter is). Flying back is better than going there. . even though we flew to Antalya at night. and back into the day turning into night. However, it was not so hot to fly back. for that, leaving the plane and entering the land of his hometown, tears well up in his eyes, flew out t-for 40 degrees, flew in only +10. Let's just say summer is over. so for those who live in Siberia, very good advice June-July to stay at home, because. by the summer is still noticeable. but in August, when it starts to get colder, you can safely fly to any warm country and your summer continues. ) Well, we flew by Turkish time somewhere around 3:30 at night. . met us at the airport immediately everyone went to get a visa. . ($20) took the luggage. went outside the building. and immediately felt a lot of humidity. stuffiness. we went to the Pegasus table where the guide picked us up. they got on the bus and started to take everyone to the hotels. (on the way, of course, he introduced us to Turkey and to the hotel guide in each hotel). we drove to the grand already and I don’t remember how long, well, I remember exactly that we were the last ones, since our hotel is located near the sea and the rest chose for themselves somewhere in the center. We arrive at the hotel in the morning, maybe around 7 am. . -8) immediately at the entrance, a copious amount of greenery is thrown. there is always Russian-speaking staff at the reception, we were immediately offered to remember the guest's profile. then they said that the resettlement of only two. and asked to wait. Well, we left things with them. went to change into normal clothes (otherwise they first went in jeans and everyone looked at us like that. especially the Germans) at the reception they explained everything to us where, how and what in detail. first we got beach towels in the same place where the turkish sauna is located. bath, etc. then to extend the time to 2 . went to swim in the pool with slides from the beginning did not even know about the upper pool. . rolled around and then went around the whole territory. (below. without going up to the upper pool) very greenery peacocks a small waterfall near the stairs. and many more interesting things. immediately striking is the large number of personnel who work on the street. some take care of the plants, others collect garbage, others wash the paths. others wipe the beds. and so on. At first there were few people on the street. but we forgot that it's morning. in fact, time went very slowly every hour dragged on, I was already glad that the rest would be long, but no, everything flew by like 2 days): (we were explained at the reception that you can basically do whatever you want, put on bracelets. explained where to eat. . well then we sat we had lunch at the bar (at the expense of food. . in our family, opinions were divided on who liked the food, who protested against the so-called cow food), that is, without meat or some kind of vegetables. in fact, there are really a lot of vegetables in different variations of cauliflower and in sauce and baked in batter and with corn. for example, well, all sorts of different vegetables such as eggplant. etc. , etc. , there is also... there is always pasta, potatoes and fries and with chicken and fried and boiled and with sauces and without . in general, everything you want . of course, not all of the food. . there is always rice. . we really liked it with sauces. . most often it was cheese. well, the most delicious mushroom) salads are also the sea, but for our taste it was not the sea at all) a lot of salads with sour sauces that we don’t really like. but there are also salads to our taste. . a lot of flour and sweet and instead of bread. . . as well as all sorts of jams. I liked it from roses) a lot of fresh vegetables salads cucumbers tomatoes. . parsley. . etc. also a sweet separate table that is constantly replenished. . different cakes jelly puddings. And so on. . we were always pissed off as foreigners take food, okay there, the usual one. Well, when there is a cake and a spatula, they will cut off a piece for themselves, roughly speaking, like a chicken with a shovel. . that then it's just porridge, what's left for others. . Well, let's not focus on that. . In general, with food you can please everyone. . meat of course as we love pork no. but there was also beef and lamb. the fish is also different. . . there is always something on the barbeque on the street and there is a big queue for food. different cutlets meat skewers on a stick and so on. main product is chicken. white meat. legs. didn't see the wings. if only where they cook whole chicken. . there are also a lot of fruits, but in our season the melons were not tasty. you can drink whiskey + cola well, ice naturally (they even dilute vodka with ice) whiskey is the best option). . There are three restaurants on the territory. . . Most of all, I liked fish, of course. roof. evening. sea. . lovers of romance all there). the food is not bad either. By the time the main course is brought, you are already full of appetizers and what will be brought after. . and the fish (basic) is no longer drawn. . none of us ate. . And to be honest, it wasn't very tasty. . poked around a little in sour fish (bee sauce). and sat. . with salad, too, not very ordinary greens. . in principle, there is nothing special in salads anywhere, but. . ) dessert is also nothing but already there and do not want to) entrance 5 euros. per person )I liked the Turkish restaurant too. . If you go be sure to take seats on the floor. . diversity. . Yes, it’s somehow more original than sitting at an ordinary table. . ) food is not bad. better from meat take lamb. not a chicken. he's awesome soft meat. . . and the appetizers are not great. . either very spicy or sour. . Well, in general, for an amateur. . and everything is the same as on the street. . Italian was my least favorite. we just do at a loss why Italy. . from italian food only lasagna. the rest. . usual. . and somehow I don't remember. . wine was also advised tasty delicious turned out to be G. . well, it didn’t spoil the impression) still take it to your taste) I didn’t like that the restaurants were at the latest 7-well, 7:30 at the most the time when you can come. . later you can’t and sometimes you want to eat late in the evening. ) so well, then we were settled without problems even earlier. . The hotel workers themselves delivered the bags. (some are not offered. "not Russian") in the room is not bad. well, 4. good, even more, given the fact that a grandiose repair had to be done. . it really was a renovation. . but it is clear that they have not reached the 2-1 floor yet. . take the floors above, well, 3 is exactly there for everyone to repair. . repair is 1000 times better than it was). well, though. . . and so not bad. just looks prettier. ) there were no problems with some broken things. . . only there were no bathrobes in the room. This is bad. the balcony overlooked the upper pool bar. and where the disco takes place. it is very good to watch everything that happens from the balcony in the same way in the morning (this is endless fun) the animators will definitely not let you get bored. and your kids. . there is also Russian music on the disco, they love it. . ) the cleaning lady came all the time, well, the cleaning also depends on the tip, leave $ 1-2 and the cleaning is standard. leave more. (we left $ 10. cleaned up the same way + wiped the dust off the tables with the tool. and didn’t do it in front of us). all in all there is no difference. . Thought we could at least vacuum. . but nooo. (it’s better to throw the towels on the floor so that they change every day. . the minibar for all the time was replenished every day except the last one. . and there they just had preparations for the hotel’s birthday (the next day). you can see all the staff and are busy. . so to the hotel has no pretensions. . and the bartenders will not let you get bored, they will always ask you for a name. they will show their skills in bartending. ) be sure to get acquainted with Dima Bilan the bartender) (that's what he calls himself) his name is actually Sinan) well, he seems to be Dima wants a Russian wife. (and even the girl was from Russia. who sent him by SMS. and we translated these mats to him) he knows Russian well, but not all mats are visible). and I still don’t know a single one who wouldn’t take a picture of him or didn’t know who he was, so this is an integral part of the hotel) and probably works the longest. . more than 3 years. ) waiters change jobs with each other. and also will not let you get bored, especially for children. . always or they will bring the car to play if the baby is bored, then they will cheer. (despite the fact that there is a lot of work. And you can’t wait forever for forks, knives to be brought) or removed. ) first serve foreigners in the last Russian as noticed. . Yes, and most of them talk with a howl with foreigners. . apparently because the English know. . ) just do if you drive better speak English at least at a basic level without it is very difficult. . especially for girls) sociable) the waiter will ask you something. not knowing Russian just do. . and you are standing there, you don’t know what to answer) well, they understand drinks in Russian, but everything else is not) so. . what else to tell. . the spa is pretty good. . sauna . . Well, like a sauna, like a steam room. . jacuzzi (free of charge). besides the hammam) be sure to go for an awesome massage there, there are Russians who will tell you everything) and in the end they will say what you have and where it hurts and it’s not like that. . . and prescribe as a massage. . medical (to each his own) whether or not to go to him is a big deal. . we scored and did not go)) to the treatment)) about excursions. . . everyone says baba tour is better. . cheaper of course but the hotel guide always hait street agencies. . Well, of course, he wants to earn money himself, and there is a practice that after such excursions, one has to pick up tourists, then treat this and that. . in general, how well we took at the hotel. . definitely pamukkale. . no question) it's awesome. . better for 2 days in the morning left. we arrived for the next dinner) and if on 1. then in the morning very early and late at night tired home. . you know, the driver also wants to sleep, but you have probably already seen accidents with tourists, the bus turned over just on the way to denzli and pamukkale. ) the roads are of course steep in the mountains and cliffs) well, it’s better for 2 just the driver will rest) other excursions at will. . free of charge is a trip to the leather textile store. . but in leather (ottima) we bought a lot. . and almost half discount. . ) and textiles on the road to pammukale there is a store later and you don’t need to go)) so well, the beach is good, I won’t say that it’s just as dirty as they say) it’s normal to encounter garbage. . it happens in the sea that the grass floats something else. well, nature, after all) the cliff is really 2 meters and there is no water under your feet. ) the waves are good. . ) pebbles and in the sea. . well she doesn't feel. )a lot of entertainment. water sports in general. . ride on a parachute (it’s not at all scary, and the pros take pictures. Not for free, of course). on a gang car like a raft, well, I’ll take off the photo, I don’t remember how exactly it’s called on R, somehow) it’s also cool, scary, you rush along the waves, you jump a meter up. . . then everything gets tired it hurts)) well, the feeling is class especially when they turn it over with all the dope) so well, the pools in the hotel are also not bad, though there are not enough sunbeds, you have to look somewhere in the bushes. . because there are a lot of Germans (just do more foreigners than Russians in the hotel). . Well, there was always enough everything on the beach, by the way, there are dogs. . they do not interfere with many of them being fed, just do they run after a scooter and their owner rides it). works) there are no problems with entertainment at 10 disco, as usual, mini don’t remember what time, but they still invite at dinner. . after whom the Niagara club is few, of course, there are few people, but the most persistent (Russians remain mostly)). . . If you don't like this, then you are not here. . . since for the most part they won’t let you sit quietly at the disco, they will definitely pull you out at least to walk with a bunch of people with a snake between the tables and twist the fifth point. ) well, they won’t let you sleep either, you can hear decently in the room and you won’t interrupt the TV. volume is limited. up to 25 (2 Russian channels). just like a cactus disco bar, they hang out there and animators, like in Niagara, in fact, in a cactus more often and bartenders and tourists and everything) there is a hookah and alcohol and dancing and whatever you want) and at least until the morning. ) and not a lot of people. I advise there) so well, I don’t know what to say already. there will be questions ask. I will definitely answer. ) I want to say one thing, be sure to go who wanted to and do not believe the bad reviews, now the reviews have become better. . I know one thing that I would go back there a hundred times. well, so that the animators were the same) they are just cool girls, mostly from Russia, the guys are Turks, but in Russian as in Turkish their native language in general)). and cheto nice animator) chetin full name) the rest is also nothing. . . ) In general, I am very sorry that I will not return there because my people do not want to. ) they want to go everywhere and not in one place, but I would only go there) the first days of the house there was even a tantrum. tears all annoyed here only thoughts about Turkey) well, I’m leaving right now) I still remember everything and decided to write reviews in order to at least somehow imagine my vacation to live again). Of course, who loves all the luxury go to another. and remember Turkish 5 stars are not European. . considered lower) but now, probably after the repair, he deserves his 5 *****) waiting for questions)
