I will try to write objectively enough for those who are going to go, but also in such a way as not to hurt the feelings of those who liked it. After all, it is known that taste is not an example of taste, someone loves watermelon, and someone loves a banana box.
We were 8 people - 2 couples with children. We live in Kyiv, by profession I am an analyst, my husband is a doctor, my friend's husband is a businessman, my friend is a housewife. Children 10 and 13 years old. Not the first time in Turkey. I won’t strain with a detailed description of our vacation - what happened and when, I’ll try to state the facts that exactly jarred us, because. There are enough positive reviews, and it was on them that we relied when choosing a hotel. I will only add that we do not belong to the number of people who try to find the bad in everything. On the contrary, our girl from the travel agency, who sends us to Turkey not for the first time, is always so confident in our positivism that she apparently decided to test it for sustainability by offering this hotel for relaxation.
1. Settlement. In principle - on time, we successfully arrived at 12. Those arriving in the morning sit for 3-4 hours. they gave us 40 dollars and they settled us on the 2nd floor, not on the 5th. View of the neighboring Opel and air conditioning units. Minor minus other than noise. So it seemed, until the "nail of the program" got out.
2. Nutrition. The main meal is dinner. The quantity and quality of food. Lunch is the worst. 20 minutes after the start, there is simply nothing to eat. There are no tables either. A little lower in the reviews, Marina from Moscow wrote a rather harsh review about the hotel, and I am very sorry that it ended up on a different page and I did not read it before the trip. I don't know if the big boss's cousin is the bastard who calls himself the manager or not, but it was during our vacation that monstrous things, in my opinion, began to happen here... First, we were searched after dinner. Children were not allowed out of the restaurant if they had a half-eaten apple in their hands. The daughter was brought to tears, and was pursued almost to the room, suspecting that she had put an apricot in her pocket. Then the searches were replaced by the requirement to leave beach bags, bags, in general, any container in front of the restaurant. Apparently this was not enough, as the waiters began to act as additional guards-spies and simply looked into the plates. If, in their opinion, there was a lot of fruit on the plate, the plates were confiscated. And since for 12 days of stay, apples were given 3 times and apricots 4 times, and watermelon and melon all other days, this hotel policy is rather strange in my opinion. Saving 5 kilograms of apples can result in the loss of a large number of at least self-respecting tourists.
I started taking pictures of this whole circus. The manager simply twisted me and dragged me to another Russian-speaking colleague. They began to interrogate why I take pictures. I said that I want people in Ukraine to know what kind of hotel it is, advertising, so to speak. The manager said that people might misunderstand and forbade it. I replied that I wanted to see the law or another prohibition order, and that in Ukraine I have certain connections and knowledge of the laws, after which they let me go and did not touch me anymore. Well, okay, let's move on.
3. Cleaning in the rooms. Let's assume we're nitpicking. Or spoiled. She was carried out. But very peculiar. Our maid always smiled, but she doesn't know Belmes in any language - Turkish, English, Russian. Doesn't respond to signs. Having caught a purulent sore throat, I tried to sleep during the day, they woke me up 5 times. Those. she walks down the corridor and stupidly knocks on all the numbers in a row. Then she comes in and looks - she cleaned here or not. And so on until 16.00. What swans are there! In my presence, bedspreads were thrown on our own things, and sheets on the floor, and then spread back.
4. Animation. Someone is delighted. We are horrified. Damn, well, there are a lot of children in the hotel! How can you put on a show where the sexual intercourse of two homosexuals is imitated and the procedure of defecation of a man with stroking the penis???!!!!
If your children are 10-13 years old, then they simply have nothing to do. It's too late for them to enter the kids club, and they simply won't be allowed to other "entertainment" because they are small. they won't even let you play darts. Those. if the child is 13 years old, then pay for accommodation - as for an adult, and how to use animation services - a small one. In addition, the animator, whose photo I will post without further ado, slyly showed our son the middle finger. Easy and casual. Apparently that he fell behind and did not ask for more.
5. About the guards - pure truth. They are really creepy. And in general, the whole atmosphere of the hotel is somehow non-Turkish, or something. As if returned to Stalin's times. Suspicions, surveillance, checks. We are accustomed to some kind of reckless goodwill, we already speak Turkish quite tolerably. But here, for some reason, attempts to speak their native language were perceived in an incomprehensible way for us. We were answered exclusively in Russian and with the air as if we had just desecrated a shrine. Well, okay, we can see the accent is bad : )
6. Tourists. 90% are Russians, the rest are Ukrainians. This turned out to be both good and bad at the same time. On the one hand, among his own people, on the other hand, it’s uncomfortable when a peasant tries to nestle next to him, who has a glass of beer in one hand, and a glass of vodka on the other, and the clock says 9 in the morning... Or mommy, who shouts: “Masha , don’t go to the toilet - it’s slippery there, I told you a hundred times - pee in the pool! Well, yes, such a pool will withstand everything. When my daughter came up to me from behind in the hope of jokingly scaring me, she never succeeded, because I heard her approach from 2 meters away by the smell of bleach. We were somehow offended for ours, because there was a clear contempt on the part of the Turks, or something, but on the other hand, when you see that it’s not all out of nowhere, it’s even more offensive.
7. Hotel guides. We were with friends who came to Turkey for the first time. And they were sold excursions from guides. We were forced to go too, because. failed to answer. The trip to Side to the ancient ruins was especially touching, so to speak, which we personally saw many times, but there was a hope that the guide would conduct an excursion, with a story, history facts, etc. yeah. Right now. We left at 9 am. We entered the ruins at one o'clock in the afternoon. Where were you? Well, how! Shopping centers. It was interesting in leather, they staged a defile, while strange flashes were given, which I, as an analyst, studied in the subject of manipulations and influences on the subconscious. Yes, everyone must have heard about the 25th frame. They do the same with the help of flashes in a certain sequence and at the desired frequency. Despite the crazy prices, people still bought things. For some reason, my friend was always looking for "the same raincoat as the aunt on the podium. "
But that was not all. There was also a jewelry store. Where I don’t know how anyone, but they tried to sell me a ring for only 2200 dollars, an analogue of such a ring in Kyiv costs 50 dollars.
Having reached the ruins, we hoped that everything was not in vain, and now a historical excursion would begin, on which, in fact, we were going. And how surprised we were when the guide left us and gave us 40 minutes to walk around and see everything. Well, take pictures.
8. "The highlight of the program" - Collector. Just a pip. I wouldn't have believed this happened if I hadn't experienced it myself. Under the asphalt, right at the entrance to the hotel, there are containers for draining feces and other sewage waste. Of these, ventilation pipes stick out on the sides, which I simply forgot to take a picture of. Corrugated such as in autumn machines. From 6 pm these ventilations open and the stench that envelops the hotel is beyond words. The word "stinks" doesn't even fit. When it stinks, you can still breathe, but here it is simply impossible to breathe. The rooms overlooking the sea are still covered by the body of the building, while ours went just to the side of the sewer, and we felt for ourselves what it means to suffocate in a real way. The air conditioner, as already mentioned, works on schedule. At night - from 23.30 to 2.00. And that's it. And you can't open the balcony. Not only that, and so the heat itself, but coupled with the most unbearable stench - it's just hell. Given that this is not just a smell, but a suspension of pathogens that breed and thrive in the sewers, my doctor husband rushed about like a tiger in a cage. A purulent sore throat and stomatitis that happened out of the blue at the same time can hardly be called an accident. My body reacts to staphylococcus quickly and actively, so to speak. The children also fell ill, but recovered faster, since we had the entire arsenal of medicines with us. Attempts to move to another hotel did not bear fruit. Representatives of the "Annex Tour" offered us to cancel our tour in this hotel and fully pay for a new tour in a new hotel. As correctly written, the guide does not solve anything. And even more so in this realm of totalitarianism.
In general, we have not yet had such a Turkey.
For some reason, I really wanted to try my luck in other countries next year, since Washington managed to almost kill our love for this sunny and beautiful country.
I wish you all a wonderful holiday.
