I'll try not to much, but in essence. )))
were supposed to take off on June 13 from Vnukovo at 6 am by Atlant-Soyuz. the flight was rescheduled (although the Tez warned about it four days in advance), flew out at 16.00 AI FLY (and thank God, I'll explain why later). brought to the hotel for 1.5 hours, the first were. just on this day, the opening year of the hotel was celebrated - a wonderful show.
upon arrival, the reception desk said that there would be good rooms, but tomorrow (we arrived at 21.20, we went to rest with my wife's parents). we were given a room for staff (second floor, windows to the street and without a balcony), parents were given a room on the 1st floor, a window and a balcony to the courtyard of a neighboring hotel and to the roof of a technical room). we were promised to change the room at 11 pm, not a word about the parents. decided to relax and wait for the morning. but it didn’t work out - the air conditioner turned out to be broken at the parents. appeals to the reception only angered (". . . I can not help you... ", you bastard). we moved away, we stand near the room where you can drip on the staff. no one there. two gentlemen walk by, one of them with a lady. they have a holiday. hotel year. funny. but we are sad....Suddenly, the one who is deprived of women's society comes up and is interested in the problem. Fortunately, the wife speaks English quite fluently - so and so, there is no kondeya, we are sweating, they say. the man turned out to be one of the top managers of the hotel. his answer:... I understand everything, don't worry, right now your problem will be solved. don't even worry!! ! makes a couple of calls on the mobile, at the same time wonders if you liked the holiday show? - (actively waving manes), says that everything is in order, now everything will be eliminated. wished a pleasant stay, smiled sweetly at each other and he went. So, while we got from the place of the conversation to the parents' room, there a hard worker was already waiting for us, ready to fix anything. And he did, damn it. in five minutes. Why did I describe the situation in such detail? but to the fact that we just liked the attitude of one of the hotel managers to us, none of the staff needed tourists. he walked without a badge and could easily pass by. he didn't. he solved our problem. he is a professional!

let's go further. In the morning, after a hearty breakfast, we went to knock out a number for us. at 11 clarified whether our move was ready. I’ll make a reservation right away - they already clarified with suitcases in their hands in order to show the inflexibility of their intentions. my wife advised me to put in 20 bucks. To be honest, I squeezed so much to put in. allocated 10. immediately gave the number 3124. second floor, view of the internal pools and the sea. we were satisfied and were already almost happy, but here is a new task - the parents want the room to be at least as good as ours. while I was thinking how to solve the problem - my wife and mother went to the reception and for the same 10 bucks they received a promise to resolve the issue after dinner. I must admit that the parents were given a room with a much better view and on the 4th floor (No. 3351), but it didn’t soar for us at all and we started to relax. ))
We rested differently. My father-in-law lived on the volleyball court, sometimes I lived there too. wife and mother actively soaked up the sun. about the fourth day, I remembered that I can play backgammon. for 20 bucks of a deposit (returned after delivery), we were given the coveted box. without writing for a long time, I’ll say that in the end I taught the whole family to play backgammon on my own head, as a result, especially the ladies were so carried away by them that sometimes I couldn’t help but watch football (World Cup 2010) or played at the same time looking at TV. on departure bought two backgammon home. We still play occasionally.
let's go through the housing stock. the rooms are good, TV - LCD, 4 of our channels (1.2, news24, rbk). toilet - bathroom - on the level. Towels were changed if they were thrown on the floor. bedding - once every three days. wanted swans, left 2 dollars. came - no swans. then everything is simple. no swans - no dollars. left no more. 1.5 liters of water was brought to the bar every day. the rest of the bar (cola, fanta, mineral water and 2 beers at 0.33) was updated free of charge once a week on Sundays. and what was left in the refrigerator at that moment was not added. Jews. )))
at the very beginning we went to the bath for peeling and foam massage. prices in euro. but there is Gulya, from Irkutsk, negotiate with her cheaper. liked. Didn't get a massage - too expensive. then three more times we went to the bath ourselves (it's free), sat in the Finnish sauna, once I went on the second attempt to the Roman steam room. the wife persuaded, they say, everything is steamed better in it. nearly died. I did not allow myself more such experiments with the invention of the great Roman people.

the pools are clean with pleasant and comfortable water. the children's one is apparently also good, because there were always a lot of kids in it and their mothers did not catch them from there on duty. the water park is average, four slides. wife rode once - I did not, save myself for posterity. cool kids town. there is a tennis court. some even played (Germans in my opinion).
about the beach. The beach is clean, almost sandy. There were always enough sunbeds for everyone. the water is clean. I nevertheless noted one inconvenience - after the sea it is far to go to skimp. but it can be overcome. and one more thing - during the day the sand heats up so much that you can’t get from the sunbed to the sea without shoes, unless of course you have drunk enough to start flying. By the way, there are no problems with drinking, the beer is excellent and not diluted, all local drinks are of decent quality. sprite is white, cola is brown. learned there from the Germans to drink beer with sprite. they (the Turks) call this drink radla. half a glass of sprite - the rest of the beer. at first not very much, and then they were so imbued - it quenches my thirst in the heat perfectly and is delicious. but in general, to whom, of course. once we saw two men getting drunk in the trash at dinner. they don't care, their wives burn with shame. still stare. the men, of course, are Russian, they celebrated the arrival. well, they turned out not to be violent. mumbled - mumbled and trudged into the stall.
We didn't go on excursions anywhere. once they were seduced by a free trip to Manavgat (they have such a city nearby, it will be 5 km). advised the representative of the mez-tour Yulia. got into a minibus at 2:40 pm, brought us to a paddock for suckers-tourists, this is their center. there they took me to a jeweler (the most inexpensive one at a discount - 500 bucks) and to skin-erysipelas. in the end we raised a light storm, my mother and wife built the staff (everything is correct) and in the end we were taken back to the hotel. the point is this. The Tez-tour at the hotel does not have its own free transport. but this store has it, whose representative is sitting in the hotel. Julia recommended us to go, she says they will take you to the markets and shops, they will take you to all your favorite women's places and return you safe and sound and in a great mood. turned out to be crap. nothing is bought (women are out), the mood is spoiled, time is lost. in short, Julia listened to our fi in the morning.
car rental costs 35 euros plus 10 euros insurance. but they did not dare to take it. there were quite decent markets nearby (the most normal ones are transported on a tractor with wagons every hour for free directly from the hotel), where the ladies can quite safely and confidently drain everything accumulated by overwork in the evening. the choice is huge. surprised a can of beer for 3 dollars. we have, he says, water is expensive. well, sing it yourself then. I'm in the hotel and so pour. here. )))

about entertainment. animation in the hotel is rotten. but this is only for big uncles and aunts. for kids it's great. the little one walked happily. wife and dad were honored to fly on a parachute. first time. the result - while on a rubber boat we got to the boat (I went to take pictures with them) we almost turned over a couple of times - it was a little stormy. wife in flight was a little afraid, but in principle she liked it. father-in-law said that garbage - expected more. took a fotik with them into the sky. here are some cool pics! I, as I said, did not fly. saved himself again for posterity. ))
a little about nutrition, which I think is of interest to many. the food is excellent. plenty of meat every day (veal, lamb, turkey, chicken). salads - the eyes are not enough. sweets - wow! enough fruit. before dinner, vodka is poured at the entrance. in general, it’s hard to write about it - this abundance at home is so lacking !!! ))))) now we are losing weight together. three, four extra kilos were brought. good food in general! great!
on the lowest floor there is a bowling alley, billiards (there is even a Russian one! ), slot machines, air hockey. went a couple of times. in billiards, my father-in-law made a whipping boy out of me. I didn’t give a chance! )) I then recouped on air hockey!! ! made everyone!!! )))
left with a slight sadness. although, it seems like I already wanted to go home. to normal soups, borscht, herring with onions... they couldn’t take the flight, it was at 18.40. We were picked up from the hotel at 2:30 pm. passed all the controls, left the unfinished and hidden dollars in the dutik and went to land. IL-86 of the Atlant-Soyuz company was already waiting for us.

And here, people, the worst begins, which I left to you at the end of the story !! ! NEVER try to fly with this group of planes!! ! NEVER!! ! they put all four of us right in the last rows by the toilets. the smell is terrible!! ! my mother began to buzz so that either we were transplanted or the stench was muffled (you really feel like you are on a public toilet! ), the stewardess snapped, until her father-in-law said something to her. no yes no - they took off. I can see the roof. and it is clear that the flaps to the end are not even fixed in flight. horror. extreme turbine as if now fall off! the whole flight was shaking so much that I, once a month flying on business trips to different distances, really started to pray a couple of times to myself ! ! wife and mother-in-law spilled tea and coffee on clothes. So do I. wife asked Stewart - why are you shaking like that??! ! so he says - how often do you fly girl? it doesn't shake. if you were flying on some sort of Boeing, you would already be sitting on the floor. Here, I think, asshole, in short. then he found out about it too. when they boarded Vnukovo I crossed myself for the first time after the flight. by God. so, people, do not fly with Atlant-Soyuz troughs !!!!!!!
At home, we looked at the pictures again, showed them to friends. except for the return, everything else is buzzing! )))
