Отличный отпуск Great vacation

We rested four - me, my girlfriend and our two kids 7 and 8 years old. They brought us by bus from the airport around 9 o'clock in the morning. We were greeted kindly, at the reception they spoke quite well in Russian. The number was not given immediately. We left our things at the reception and went to have breakfast, then changed in the toilet and into the pool. While we were swimming and sunbathing, the owner of the hotel came and said that the room was ready and we were settled by 12 o'clock. Family room, as booked on the 4th floor. There is an elevator. Two spacious adjacent rooms, one has a large wooden bed, two bedside tables, nightlights, the other has two separate beds, my friend and I slept in it, since this room had air conditioning and so that the children would not catch a cold, we put them on a large bed. Dressing table with a large mirror. TV, a small refrigerator with one free bottle of water, we then added water from the cooler to this bottle. There is a cooler in the restaurant, by the pool, in the lobby. Bathroom with toilet, we had a small bath with a shower. We were given two plastic keys and we left one in the room turned on so that the air conditioner would work while we were away. . Balcony with plastic table and 2 chairs but we didn't sit there. We took with us a rope and clothespins - to dry clothes. The sea was visible from the balcony. Large closet - compartment. For the safe (in the room) paid (2 dollars per day). Floors in the room - carpet. The restaurant is large, the air conditioners worked. They fed well. Mostly stew (turkey, chicken), sometimes there were nuggets, french fries, stews, boiled vegetables, pasta, mashed potatoes. For breakfast, muesli with milk, sometimes rice porridge, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs 3 minutes and 5 minutes (it was signed). Soup for lunch was, but vegetable puree. We hardly ate. Fresh vegetables, herbs, fruits, watermelons are not always ripe, very tasty bun and bread. Buns for breakfast. Cheese, cheese, sausage. Sweets and very tasty biscuit fresh cakes (recovered by 3 kg). For some reason, they gave olives only for breakfast ((Vending machine with coffee (I only liked expresso), teas in different bags, a machine with juice (quite normal), the bar is open at lunch, dinner. Near the reception there is a lobby bar, but we never saw that he works and it is stuffy there, although there is a terrace, but during the day there is sun. The bar is also by the pool. Sprite, cola. Local wine is not very good, beer is normal, gin, crayfish (vodka). Cocktail 5 euros. Haven't tried. The chlorine in the pool was noticeable to the eyes - they pinched. The children swam with goggles. Two hills. Turned on by the hour. Near the restaurant, in it and near the pool bar, the floor is slippery, if it's wet, you have to walk carefully. We knew about it, but we still slipped. We went to the nearest beach Fantasia, about 600 meters. Since we were there for a short time, we did not need sunbeds, we left things on the sand and swam. It was necessary to enter the sea carefully, at the bottom of the stones and quite large, then they knew approximately where they were and they could be seen in clear water. When there are strong waves, the water is a little cloudy due to the sand raised from the bottom. The water is very warm and salty compared to the Black Sea. We went early in the morning at 8 o'clock before breakfast, and in the evening after 16 o'clock. The rest of the time at the pool. After dinner we rested in our room. On the door, so as not to be disturbed, you need to hang a sign, otherwise they may come to clean up when you sleep. The maids do not understand Russian, they explained with gestures. Cleaned up every day. Bed linen was changed once with us. Maybe without us they still changed, we don’t know. Well, they weren't that dirty. True, the towels were not changed for all 9 days, but maybe because we didn’t throw them on the floor, although for the legs it was constantly on the floor by the bath, they took it somewhere on the 5th day and didn’t bring clean. Shampoos are small, soaps were lying, disposable caps for hair, toilet paper was left with a margin. There was no air freshener. Exercise machines - treadmill and bike did not work or we did not understand something. A tennis table with peeled rackets ((and not always with a ball. Maybe, of course, you could rent it, as well as air mattresses and balls, but we didn’t ask, there was a shop at the hotel by the pool. We bought a ball there to play in the pool and took him away with them. We did not use the hotel hammam, as there are no professional masseurs there. Although the tour operator offers another hammam for a fee, but we did not go. We walked in the evening along the embankment to Side - a well-lit, paved road. Restaurants entice at every turn. In Side they went to look at the ancient ruins and buy gifts. You can also get there by minibus - to Antic Side which go for 2 rounds. lira or 1 dollar. And then back on foot along the embankment. You have to trade in the markets. The Europeans spoiled them, they are not traded. Near the hotel, if you go towards the sea to the right along the main street, there are also shopping areas and it can even be cheaper there. There is an underground passage to the sea across the road. Upon arrival at the hotel, the hotel guide from the tour operator communicates with you, explains everything about the hotel, rest, offers various excursions, if you immediately order there will be a discount. We only took a pirate trip with a foam party on a Viking ship. It was a lot of fun for both children and adults. Pirate bandanas were tied around the children's heads, photographed, then they really sold photos and a souvenir plate with a photo. The guys work out the program in full. For which a special THANK YOU to them! Highly recommend with children. Swimming in the open sea, lunch, drinks. We were abroad for the first time and there is nothing to compare with, well, if only with a vacation on the Black Sea, but this vacation was wonderful. The hotel is quite suitable for families. There really is no animation, but to be honest, as they screamed in a nearby hotel all day, we would not want this. 9 days is enough to rest. Only the flight is tiring. We flew there at 3 am, back at 10 pm, everyone wanted to sleep, but it was very uncomfortable on the plane. We were fed on the plane.
