Мало ожидали - много получили... Little expected, much received...

We were with friends in this hotel for the new year 2011. We went for snow, so there were no special requirements for the hotel. But. . were very pleasantly surprised! The rooms are spacious, warm and clean. At night, they even opened the windows a little, because they stoked from the heart. . : ) Regular change of linen and towels. Excellent food. . . Yes Yes! Oddly enough for Turkey - excellent food. Very varied and not cheap - there were regularly red fish and shrimp and tuna, a sea of ​ ​ ​ ​ vegetable vegetables and fruits, sweets. Meat dishes are also on top - not like on the coast. . . One of our picky eaters gained 8 kilograms of weight in 8 days, so those who want to lose weight are not here. . . : ) Local alcohol, like everywhere else, is very mediocre, so I recommend buying in duty free, because prices in local stores are 3-4 times higher - for example, a bottle of Chivas costs $ 100 : (. . As a person who has traveled to many countries and understands the difference in the level of hotels - I will say : solid 4. The staff is attentive and helpful, they don't try to ignore you, as is usually the case in summer resorts. Most of them speak Russian tolerably. . . The hotel has a good sauna and hammam - after a whole day of skiing, it is very useful. . . Ski rental is also available at the hotel. Equipment is almost new, excellent quality. At first they tried to rent it to us for 20 dollars a day, but we bargained for up to 15, since the same price is at the rentals near the ski lifts, but there the skis and boots are worse and worn out. . . Skeypas $10 per day for all lifts. The first two days we went to the 1st zone (a free bus ran regularly from the hotel), because there are more slopes, but then we found some very good long slopes in our zone and did not go anywhere else. The ski lifts start immediately from the hotel, so I went out - and "rushed". . . : ) To the left of the hotel there is an excellent freeride track - 4-5 kilometers of virgin lands. There is a 4-seater chair. . . Highly recommend! In general, the holiday was great. . . We will definitely come back here again!
