Review rating

8.6 / 10 ONLINE TOURS 4.2 / 5 TOPHOTELS Trouble, not rest.
We were in mid-September 2018. We arrived. At the reception, having seen the passports of the Russian Federation, we were met in Turkish-German.) As a result, we talked in English.) I immediately put 20 bucks in my passport, the Turkish blonde from the reception, seeing them, spoke in tolerable Russian.)
Gave a "good" standard room. Here, attention, you can get into trouble and ruin your whole vacation. (
If you can sleep with any noise, cod and "started tractor" under your window, then you can safely go to any room. The rooms are all normal, comfortable, everything works, there are blankets. The windows of our room (land view) were right next to neighboring hotel and between them stood and worked the generators of the hotel.
They work 24 hours. They are never turned off!
Also below is the hotel's garbage dump, which garbage trucks regularly come to empty. Lukoil cars arrive, filling huge gas tanks under the windows of the hotel ... and our balcony.
Photo attached. And also uploaded a video to a well-known resource. I do not give a link, according to the rules of this resource.
Everything on top is modestly covered with a lid, but what a noise, especially at night! The noise increases 3-4 times at night, unfortunately I didn’t know this before, I didn’t have to check in (
And so we arrived in mid-September to breathe air in a 5 * hotel, but it turned out that we live in a constantly functioning technical zone. (
It is not possible to open the balcony at night due to the noise of these generators.
After spending one night, I went to the reception.
I was only spoken to in Turkish. Even English was forgotten overnight.)
The hotel is overbooking. My question was solved in two hours.
They promised to change and .... they called yesterday's Turkish blonde. When I came to the reception for the fifty-fifth time, I was told-figures, live where you live or 20 euros for each day and then in 3-4 days you will receive overbooking with us.
So they remained...
On the street at night +20, and we close the balcony, turn on the air conditioner +27 and sleep. No other way (Breathe the air.
Outcome. If you go to this hotel, take rooms only for the pool and that all this be written in the voucher. They are very cunning there and very sharpened for money.
Under me, instead of a family room, people were settled next to us and on our side. The blonde herself told me about it. I later checked.) They really became our neighbors for a while.
And further. The hotel is imprisoned for Germans, but English is present. As it turned out later, many waiters speak Russian. But the front desk just doesn't want to speak to you in your language.
When the Turkish blonde and I were discussing where to shove me so that it would be possible to sleep at all, I asked her why you don’t speak Russian with me?
There was a sizzling look and the answer was, I don't speak Russian.
But yesterday I said something…))) Comrades, prepare 20 bucks if you want to conduct a dialogue in your own language) Why invite guests from Russia if we are not nice to you? When booking a hotel, nationality is always indicated. Isn't it easier to recruit some Germans and lisp with them, extorting a couple of euros from them?)
There are no economy rooms on the hotel website, only standard and family rooms are marked there. But! The hotel has economy. It is underground, there are several rooms, just to sleep in an embrace with generators and a garbage truck.) I am very sorry that I chose this particular hotel, but I had a choice! thought new hotel, they made everything comfortable, but it turned out it was simply dangerous to be there, let alone rest. Ruined vacation for myself and my husband.(
Cleaning.
Wash in the rooms is normal. The refrigerator is replenished regularly. The balcony is wiped, the dust is brushed off. There are no complaints here. Sometimes she gave money to our maid, dear girl.
Food.
A colorful chef is in charge of everything! Naryayayayayadny, a la Slava Zaitsev. I liked the way they were fed. There is always a lot of everything, satisfying, there is meat, there is also fish, grill every evening and everyone will find it to their taste. Ice cream was solemnly taken out once a week, sushi was made once (not tasty, well, they did it as best they could). The cakes are delicious, although they are the same type. The plates are always clean and the smart chef is always there. In principle, you can always find a table, although there are a lot of people. We went a la carte, not tasty, didn't go again. That's where all the good ends.
Toilets near the restaurant were not always clean. And about the children's pool, where the stage is, it's just a disaster. There, apparently, we caught a virus from which we choked for 2 weeks from coughing, not counting the common cold. Only now, at home already
like a week, cured.
The hotel was 90% Europeans and about 10% Russian speakers. Europeans were different. There were Russian Germans (left in the 90s) who pretended to be purebred Aryans.) With outsiders and staff, they spoke only German. When there are friends around, slowly in Russian (hug and cry, people without a homeland).
There were real Germans, Poles, Bosnians, British, Turks, and it is not yet clear who…
When the Belarusian brothers arrived, it became easier to breathe and life became more fun. There were also citizens of Ukraine.
European children and youth were simply amazed. Barefoot from the pool to the dirty toilet, and then back to the pool. Barefoot! Old Germans, with disgust, went to the hotel, and these ... In the pool, we caught an infection (such as whooping cough). Next time I will take a more Russian hotel. Our mothers, of course, are very skewed in life, but in terms of cleanliness, they have no price.
The hotel has no territory, that's not at all. There is an alley 30 meters between the pools to the exit and that's it. They even made a bar above the pool, in order to save space. Everything closes at 11pm. But there is a night soup from 23-24). It's not comfortable at all. For a cookie, you need to run to the lobio (12 to 17). For tea, go to the bar on the second floor, and then, having collected everything, you can go to the pool. There is no tea at the pool bar, no cookies either (I didn’t like the arrangement of this hotel. It is clear that they are trying to save on everything. At first there was no animation at all. Then the animators drew themselves and began to slowly unwind. When we left, even invited artists appeared. A very boring hotel. If If it wasn't for the promenade outside the hotel, then you would die of boredom, some very elderly Germans always playing cards.Young people were hanging out somewhere outside.Children's animation was not noticed even in the bud.
If you are a fan of not leaving the hotel building at all, then you are here.
The sea is wonderful, sandy and shallow. There are never loungers.
But if you pay a beach boy on the beach, you will have a sunbed.) But let's give the money quietly, he hides that he is engaged in the illegal sale of sunbeds.)
By the way, it’s easier to find a lounger by the pool ... and for free, but you can carry everything yourself and open an umbrella too ... there are few staff.
I was surprised by the number of people who smoke. Everyone smokes, young and old. My husband and I smoke the same thing, but no matter how much and so, I see for the first time, from this and beach area dirty.
They didn't drink alcohol. My husband took a beer a couple of times, he says not tasty. A converted truck goes to the beach, it goes according to the schedule, in fact, how the people will come up. Walk 7-10 minutes to go. The heat is hard, especially with children.
I wish you all a good next summer and the right comfortable hotels. Do not repeat our mistake and everything will be fine. By the way, I sent a claim to the company that sent us to the hotel, but we were all sent together, for the salvation of drowning people .. (

Check-in: Arrived in the evening, got to the hotel around 9 pm. Everything was normal until at the reception they told us that there were NO rooms available - someone could see if they had left and all that.… More ▾ Check-in: Arrived in the evening, got to the hotel around 9 pm. Everything was normal until the reception told us that there were NO rooms available - someone could see if they had left and all that .. and offered to spend the night in a godforsaken treshka nearby. We were 9 people in the company + more tourists from our flight (about 20 people). Naturally, they raised a high for the whole hotel and said that no one would go anywhere, but we would wait for our rooms and swear! The keys began to receive only from 2 am, and around 5 am everyone settled. For this hotels fat MINUS! Before us, the races were settled in the same way - the Join Up operator.
Beach - pool: The hotel, as you already understood, was 100% full, respectively, sunbeds on the pool were occupied by cunning people from 7 in the morning, there were no more places on the beach at about 10 in the morning - I had to lie stupidly on the sand! This in my practice of rest in Turkey at the hotel has not yet been. The beach, as it were, is not small, but there were really not enough sunbeds, 200 people just lay under the sun on the sand .. The bar on the beach from 10 am, food from 12 noon, gozleme is also made there. Walk to the beach 5 minutes on the strength, the bass shuttle runs periodically.
Animation: nafik need these couple of animators there, I don’t understand at all, there’s zero sense from them. We entertained ourselves) There is no children's room at all, except for a mini disco - although there are a lot of children in the hotel.
Meals: those who write that it is excellent and super varied apparently drank a lot of local shmurdyak and did not notice the fact that when you come to the canteen you already know on the 3rd day what is where without opening the lid of the tray. The same thing every day, in the evening on the grill only chicken day, meatballs day, burnt dry fish day. The food is mostly spicy! how can you pepper an ordinary baked potato with pepper - for what ??? children and people with a problem stomach there were not lucky with food. How many times have I been to Turkey (about 10), but this was my 1st time when I started eating pasta - tin ...! Seafood was never on our arrival. There is no ICE CREAM, there is NO fresh juice for breakfast. We never got into a la carte, we came several times to the guest relay - there are no places, and so every time. Although we were promised free in all 3 because of the bad accommodation.
Alcohol: Bars from 10.00-24.00 local shmurdyak naturally. We knew this very well and brought all our strong ones, in the afternoon we took beer at the bar and locally produced Baileys. There was even champagne - complete darkness. often heard that the tequila from vacationers had ended - ultra nifiga not ultra. For those who did not manage to find the necessary condition before 24.00, they could go down to the restaurant and refuel themselves at the bar - few people know about this at the hotel.
Uborochka: Finally, this is tin, not cleaning! Here I put 1! I can make the bed myself. This was the end of the cleaning. no one even vacuumed even once, hair ties from old guests remained, hair all over the room. Since they took bath towels at all and did not put fresh ones in, so we called the reception for an hour asking and waiting for what a priori should be done in the 1st turn.
How to entertain yourself when you get to this hotel: there are a lot of shops outside the hotel, for shopping lovers there will be something to do, but there are no super-duper clothes there, junk for an amateur. Basically, everything is for men, for fashionable girls - there is nothing to do there.
10 minutes drive from the hotel is Old city Side - ruins, amphitheater, small old streets, very beautiful historical places which I advise you to visit. Travel 1$. the town of Manavgat is also nearby - local Turks live there, again, for a change, you can climb and shop there.
Excursions for $ at the hotel with a guide or take on the street.
Disco in the hotel several times a week - gloomy. They take you to a disco in Side for $5-10.
WiFi free. in the room does not catch, but not far from the canteen and around the pool.
Bottom line: we flew for a week at a cost of $ 615 for 2 early booking bought, for these grandmas normally in principle. But when this hotel cost more than $ 1000 during the season, this is sooooo much for it. it cannot be regarded as 5 * on UAI! In short, if this hotel is cheap - you can safely go, if not - I do not advise! Choose another option!
