Больше сюда не поеду I won't go here again

We are not picky people, so we had a normal rest - we ate, bathed, tanned. But the second time I will not go to this hotel. I will tell you in order.
1. Settlement. We arrived at 10 am, they sent us to have breakfast, and after breakfast they gave us the key. The territory is huge and unfamiliar. The diagram showed how to get there, it’s not customary to see off here. But on the plan, all buildings are shown in one block, which of them is ours - it’s not clear, we had to wear jeans and sneakers in the heat, cut circles with hand luggage and pester passers-by with a request to indicate our building . Half an hour later, everyone in the soap got the same to the room.
2. Number. We had a two-room apartment with the so-called "French balcony". This window is up to the floor, you open it - a railing. The floor is tile, and it's very cold, you don't walk barefoot, there aren't even rugs by the bed. TV - old, I saw this only in the Indian troika and naively thought that in 5 * - only plasma. It is better not to open the window. It overlooks the road, and although it is almost invisible behind the trees and it is not too busy, but it is made of some kind of slabs and any passing car creates a roar that drowns out the TV. And another reason to keep the windows closed is mosquitoes. The window of the second room overlooks a common corridor. The corridor reminded me of films about an American prison - they are the same there. No pictures, no flower pot, no sofa - only metal railings. The sound in the room is terrible. This is especially true for the bathroom. Oohs, sighs, farts and blowing your nose are heard as if there is no wall with neighbors at all. In a word, neither retire nor relax.

3. Territory. Huge. We lived in building number 1, not the farthest. To the sea - more than 500 meters. So you have to walk a lot. For example, for towels. If you decide to relax by the pool, you still have to walk to the beach, as towels are issued only in one place. It is worth paying tribute to the gardeners and cleaners - the territory is well-groomed. There is a lot of greenery, there are secluded places, but there are practically no benches anywhere, there is nowhere to sit - only either at the bar or on a sunbed by the pool, if you find a free one. And this despite the fact that both mothers with children in strollers and disabled people rest in the hotel. The pools are chic, with slides, fountains, waterfalls and bridges. There is even a pirate ship in the children's area. There is a circus and children's attractions on the territory, but neither of them work.
4. Dining room. Calling this a restaurant is an understatement. Obviously not enough staff. They don't clear the tables. To clear a place for food, tourists themselves rearrange dirty dishes on neighboring tables. Often there are no napkins, there are no toothpicks in principle. There are no waiters - only cleaners. In other fives, they walked between the tables, poured wine from bottles into glasses, served coffee, tea, water. There is no such thing here. But they feed well. It is only important to come to the beginning of dinner and stand in line if they give you something tasty. There are no freshly squeezed juices, even for money. When we were driving from the airport to the hotel, the guide told us that Side in translation means pomegranate and now they are just harvesting. But they didn’t treat us with pomegranates. We ate them and drank pomegranate juice only when we got out in Side or Manavgat. From meat - turkey and chicken, twice there was a lamb kebab. Fish - herring and horse mackerel, sometimes grilled trout. Trout, by the way, is not always fresh - my friend and I came across a rancid, rusty fish. A lot of greens, vegetables, delicious compotes, yogurts, dried fruits - raisins, dried apricots, figs. Very tasty baklava. Fruits - grapes, oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, bananas, apples, nictarines. Watermelons are bad - not ripe and not sweet. And more about food. They don’t know how to cook Gozleme - they fold the dough in several layers, inside it is raw. Turkish coffee is not brewed. Cookies are served with tea at the pool bar - there seem to be many different ones, but all from the same dough, only in different shapes. Alcoholic drinks of average scall, will do.
5. Sea. The sea is wonderful - clean and transparent - the bottom is visible even at the buoys. The beach is not so clean. When the calm - entry into the sea is good. But standing in shallow water will not work - small fish bite. When the wave - the fish are gone, but a step of pebbles is washed in and getting out onto land is not so easy. It is impossible to rearrange sunbeds closer to the sea - a rope fence and a warning sign hang. A lot of broken sunbeds, they are very cramped. There are plenty of free ones - the end of the season. But for some reason beach towels are not enough. The deficit is made up by whites, as in numbers. They are half as long and can only cover half of the sunbed. Many trash cans are broken. For a week I have never seen animation on the beach.
6. Entertainment. Good hammam and massage. Animation in English, rather mediocre. Jokes below the belt, although the evening show is full of children. There was no Turkish night.
