Good afternoon everyone! The day before yesterday we returned from Lafetos. The rest was not bad, but in general only due to good company and mood. I will try to write as objectively as possible everything about the hotel, because it was my first vacation in Turkey. Let's start with the fact that we went through the Annex tour. In principle, everything on their part was done normally, but certainly not without "sides". But this later. So:

Vilit: We flew with UtAir. Everything was ok but there was little room for feet. They fed the norms.

Arrival: everyone was clear, we left the airport, we were met by a girl from the annex, she showed us where our bus was, there we were met by a girl. . She explained everything a bit primitively and tried to joke, but to no avail. In an hour and a half we were brought to the hotel. First impression: "where we came from and what we paid for". Later, this impression changed for the better.


Settlement: Since we arrived at 8 pm, we were settled immediately. We went with three families.
Two families settled in adjoining rooms on the 3rd floor, including us, and the third was driven to 6. The numerous attempts to change the number, they replied that there are no rooms.

Room: On the 3rd floor everything was cool, big, spacious, clean rooms, with the rules of plumbing, in short, good rooms. In the refrigerator, a bottle of water, which was never added, had to bring to the room from the refrigerators, which stand on the floors (things on the 5th and 6th floor for some reason they are not). But the family on the 6th floor was not so lucky. The room is tiny, under the roof, very hot, the sewer smelled terrible during all 7 days of rest, from the bath every time after taking a shower formed a lake of water. After asking to change the number, they called a plumber who smeared something there with glue and sprayed it with aerosol and said that the room already smells cool. . Well, the lake was so on and constantly formed.
It was also terribly hot and stuffy near the corridors and elevators. Probably there were no air conditioners at all. Elevators are always completely full and there are long queues near them. I often got tired of it and had to walk.

Meals: Arriving late at the hotel, we hurried to bring our bags to the room and run for dinner. They came to the restaurant for dinner before it closed, and the waiters nervously urged us to eat faster and stand over us, because it was already 9 o'clock. It was very embarrassing. The food is very monotonous, there was always some pasta, rice and french fries. Salads are not tasty, for meat at dinner is always a huge queue. The wines are wonderful, especially red. . The smurf is full. I don't like sweets, so I won't say if it was delicious. There was always plenty of fruit. There were many cheeses and olives.
In the afternoon, a delicious pizza is made at the pool bar. Spaghetti, burgers and french fries are made on the beach. . Their drinks are terrible.

Of course, there were no imported ones, but there were only Turkish ones: vodka, whiskey, Turkish crayfish, gin and beer. Everything is perfectly tasty except beer. And in order to foam at least a little, we had to drink 23.000 liters of their alcohol. But maybe thank God: in principle, for the entire holiday was seen only 2 people in a dead state, all the rest are under the influence of alcohol. . Coca-Cola and other sweet vodkas are diluted with water; this can be easily noticed while they are pouring. The so-called alcoholic cocktail they make with the use of some kind of alcohol and the addition of sweet water made from powder and water, as in the USSR was "Yuppie".

Service: The restaurant is trying to get everyone, but it didn't work out for them, because there are a lot of people, they ran around like fools. Tried.
Plates were often missing, and we had to wait 5-10 minutes until new ones were brought. Due to which unrealistically large queues were formed.
Dirty dishes were noticed only once in the lobby of the bar among the clean cups stood unwashed in coffee (which is possible and put one of the visitors).
At the reception we tried to please all our requests.
Bartenders are a little rude and grumpy, and if you need to take a drink to the company, it is better for everyone to stand in line and order for themselves, because they do not want to give much to one person. The situation is similar at dinner for meat and lunch for pizza. More than 2 pieces are placed with great dissatisfaction and supported by some words in Turkish. .
The beach does not have time to clean from the glasses.
The pool seems clean.

Beach: Everything would be fine. If not pebbles at the entrance to the sea and the distant location of sunbeds from the sea. Every day they were dragged closer to the sea, and sometimes the uncle of the Turks came and asked to pull away from the sea. The sea becomes sharply deep. 10 meters from the shore the bottom is no longer felt.
The water was very warm and was clean almost all days. Two days of storms.

Animation and entertainment: Very cool for children. All the little ones danced, did some competitions, showed something.
For adults, what a day. Sometimes it's very cool, and sometimes it's, sorry for the word, shit that I had to get up and show off.
During the day they play water polo, darts, music on the territory and animators do all sorts of competitions. Volleyball is played on the beach.
In the evening at 12 o'clock the "disco" begins. In short, go there only for the bar, which is open until 2 o'clock. Nobody dances.


Contingent: 50% Russians, 20% Turks, 20% Germans, the remaining 10% Ukraine, Poland, Czech Republic and others. Mostly all families, not many young people. In the last days of our stay, a few young people came.

Flight back: Here the annex tour did not do without punctures. They did not put the child on the list of departures and had time to argue and prove that the child has a separate place and that he was paid for.
We spent a lot of nerves, but still did everything as it should be.

The Internet in the lobby worked very badly. Then he was, then he was not. Always in our whole company consisting of 7 people and a small child there were some health problems. I tore on the first day and was terribly bored all day. The next day I started having allergies, I don't even know what. The insurance did not cover the allergy, so I had to go to the bazaar to the pharmacy to prescribe something. The next day everything passed and then I did not observe anything. Others had a headache for several days, the girl had a terrible stomach ache all 7 days, whether from their food or from something, it is not known. No pills helped. The last day the boy began a severe runny nose, fever. . Of course, this may not be the fault of the hotel, but purely personal health problems, but it is a fact that this was and lived to rest.
And everything would be terrible if not for our positive mood and good company of people we met and always had something to do, talk and have fun. Only thanks to this our vacation was successful and we did not want to go back.

I hope the eyelash response will be informative. I wish everyone who is already going to go there a good rest, and those who are still hesitant, I strongly advise you to give up the idea of ​ ​ going to this hotel.

Thank you all for your attention!
