Just got back from the hotel. I will write the whole truth.
As we understood, the Russian-speaking segment has only recently begun to go to the hotel, it is more designed for burghers who come to drink beer by the pool and are not at all interested in the sea.
The beach is the biggest disappointment. Join-up tour agents will tell you that the beach is a kilometer from the hotel. Don't believe! The beach is 28 minutes of walking, of which a third of the road you need to go along a dusty sandy road down to the sea and all passing cars kick up dust. The beach, however, is free, but the hotel has only a tiny piece, local bartenders carefully monitor that you do not take good places on the first line, because they offer them for money to other tourists. The beach bar is chargeable.
There is a transfer to the beach, but at a completely debility time - 10.00, 10.30, 11.00 there - it's the hottest. And back - 14.30 and 15.30. You have a wonderful choice - either walk 30 minutes to the hotel at noon, or stay without lunch and wait for the return transfer, dying from the heat on the beach. There are buses back to other hotels around 11-12 o'clock, they do not pick up Selge guests. The bus at 10.30, which returns to the city for other tourists, refuses to give a lift even for money. The only chance to leave the beach is a taxi. We did not take it, but people say 10-15 dollars.
The idiocy of Selge is already legendary among the Turks themselves, on the last day we were given a lift by the manager of another hotel in his own jeep for free, because he simply regretted it.
On other days, to get to the hotel, I took a cold shower on the beach right in my clothes with my head on and walked like that. On the way there is a cemetery, there are taps with water on it - you can wash and freshen up.
Tried walking to the closest beach - about 15-20 minutes from the hotel. According to Turkish laws, the beaches belong to the city, hotels have the right to put their sun loungers, but if you just sit on the ground on a bed, they don’t have the right to kick you out, in the evenings we did it. A pair of sun loungers and an umbrella on the beaches of other hotels cost from 6 to 10 dollars - it all depends on the caretaker of the beach.
Now about the hotel itself. There are few staff, they are mainly focused on foreigners. Nobody speaks Russian. I am glad that I know English, otherwise we would be left without the means to communicate. The rooms are small but normal. Don't ask for a room overlooking the pool - you won't sleep. We had a view of the neighboring street, it was quiet at night except for the Muijins. We lived on the third floor, we were cleaned only 2 times in 8 days, although cleaning was declared daily. I complained to the Polish girl at the reception, she said that this could not be - there are reports on the cleaning of each room.
Soaps and shampoos are not available, so bring your own. There is a tank for liquid soap on the wall, when we arrived, it was on the bottom, then no one poured a new one.
A huge minus for me is the weak air conditioning (this is the observation of all the guests - we talked with other tourists). Air conditioner remotes are stored at the reception, people on the first day of duty cannot interrogate them.
Another point - the hotel does not have air conditioning at all at the reception and in the restaurant, as well as in other areas except the rooms, so on the last day, when at 12 o'clock they cut off your bracelet and take the keys to the room, and you have to sit by the pool all day (there is a shadow there, but it's still very hot and stuffy), we were saved by walking in supermarkets.
To any claims, the Polish woman at the reception replies that they have an inexpensive hotel (I don’t know the cost per day - we took a standard tour package and not so cheap)
By the way, there are 3 supermarkets near the hotel, everything is sold there for lira, we took fruits, ayran and food there for the journey.
Now about food. Firstly, breakfast as for a hot time late - from 8 am. I would like to be able to eat at 7-7.30 and go to the beach in minimal heat. Lunch is from 12.30 to 14.00 and dinner is from 19.00 to 20.30, so you will not admire the sunset on the beach either or go for an evening swim after eating. and stay at the hotel until 19.
We didn’t sit hungry, but I don’t remember such a redneck table in any of the three. For breakfast, boiled eggs, olives, cheap colored sausage and cheese, muesli and cold cheap milk. For lunch and dinner, no soup, the main dishes are salads with unsweetened yogurt (grated carrot + yogurt, grated radish + yogurt, cucumber + yogurt and everything in that style). There is also rice, sometimes pasta, stewed vegetables. Meat is almost always only 1 kind and only 2-3 times a day it really was meat, and not minced soy cutlets and chicken nuggets. Fish was given 1 time for all the time. Those who were with children suffered a lot and bought food in the supermarket.
The restaurant has a cooler with water, you can safely pour it into a bottle, there is also UPI, tea and coffee machine.
The inclusive bar includes soft drinks, mineral water, wine, beer, vodka and brandy.
In general, the resort is more English and German speaking.
Souvenirs and Turkish delight are best bought in shops in the Old City. There are normal prices and sellers are bargaining. Shops near city beaches are designed for Europeans, where prices are in euros and are traded minimally.
The normal price for a bundle of 5 boxes of 125 g Turkish delight is $4, for 10 packs - 7, for 15 - 10.
There are also attractions - the temple of Apollo, the theater (entrance 20 lire), the museum (10 lire). Take excursions not from a guide, but on the street. By the way, we accidentally met the guide the day before departure, we had not seen it before.
On the last day, as I already wrote, check-out is at 12, then everyone is allowed to dine for free - you just need to agree in advance at the reception and you can still safely drink water from the cooler in the restaurant, as well as pour UPI and drinks from the coffee machine. For this we thank them very much.
In general, maybe this is my subjective opinion, but it seemed to me and a few other tourists that the staff treats Russian speakers with some contempt. In the evenings I drank 1 glass of wine with ice, they looked askance at me, and the Englishwoman who got drunk in the trash, who knocked down a bransboyd, was escorted to the room with a smile.
I am aware that I went to an inexpensive three on the third line, but still, from all the travel experience, this hotel is still on the list of the worst.
