Rest according to Fortuna Caution

At the end of July 2018, my husband and I decided to go to the sea abroad. The last trip was to Europe with "Let's go with us", the tour included a flight, transfer, breakfast, hotel accommodation and 2 city tours, we really liked it, so we decided to book a vacation through this tour operator, and more importantly from the same manager Tamils ​​with whom they have already traveled.

Our adventure began even before departure, in Kyiv, we chose not a cheap option in Turkey, Side All inc. 5 * for 10 days and decided for the first time on Fortuna (! It was paid for Fortuna exactly 5 *, the tour is not last-minute). We sent money, our data, we were promised to throw off the documents, the flight was in 2 days. A day later, Tamila didn’t send us anything, we already started to worry pretty much, we wrote, called ... after the next call, it was not Tamila who picked up the phone, but the director of the branch in Kiev, 1 Kotsiubinsky Street, Alexei Morozov, who said that Tamila had left, later, another manager got in touch with us, who said that our manager had moved away, left ... in the end it turned out that Tamila, whom we contacted, did not work there at all, no one warned us about this and communicated with us on her behalf. Deception #1, not fatal, but not pleasant!

We were sent documents in half out of grief (one forgot, the second was not sent, the third apparently picked his nose) flew through UIA sent by the GTO company, the host of HIT HOLLIDAYS (all companies are listed in the documents)

At the Antalya airport, we were met by GTO, put on the HIT HOLLIDAYS bus by the accompanying guide Alisher. Read on to find out how the fortune goes.

-Alisher: what hotel?

-We: we don't know, we have fortune.

-Alisher: well then..... let it be.... hmm.... well, let's THRONE NILBAHIR RESORT&SPA "5*"

We got on the bus, the guide gave an introductory story about Turkey, says Alanya, cool, everything is warm, we will go for about 2 hours (we were very alert, since it would take a maximum of an hour to go to Side)

-We: it's not Side?

-Alisher: ....... (thinking) yes, Side, the extreme region.

While riding the bus, we searched the Internet for information about the hotel, ATTENTION! It's not on Booking!!! (If there is no hotel on Booking, then this is a dregs and not a hotel, on the site there are only verified hotels that have passed the “star” registration !!)

We were already in a bad mood, to put it mildly, and of course it was not without nerves. We immediately write to the tour operator Tamila, which is Victoria, that we are not being taken to Side and the hotel there is terrible!

Victoria: This is Side! You have not seen the hotel yet, when you arrive, write your impressions about the hotel. Deception # 2, where the Side hotel is located, it doesn’t smell at all, opening any map you can see it, on the websites the address of the hotel is Orensehir Manavgat D-400 Karayolu uzeri, Antalya 07610 Turkey. They just made fools with us who do not understand anything!

Another very IMPORTANT moment at the hotel, there is no stardom anywhere outside! In the hotel where we were brought 5 * were drawn only on bracelets and under the number of each room, that is, only inside the hotel for fools who only rest there. Why is that? The fact is that this THRONE NILBAHIR RESORT & SPA "5 *" hotel is not included in the official register of hotels that received star rating in Turkey! Yes, yes, it is necessary to check at the moment. When a hotel gets stars, they admire them, they mold them everywhere, not just inside the hotel. Deception # 3, we made a payment for a 5 * hotel, they didn’t provide it to us (all the points about the holiday city of Side about payment, the amount of payment and the services that the travel agency SHOULD provide, let me remind you “GO WITH US”, everything is spelled out in the contract, with the indicated surnames, details)

After arriving at the hotel, we were horrified that we didn’t smell anything for what we paid for there (for the smallest description of the hotel, see my next posts, everything is colorfully painted there).

The next morning, we sent Victoria and Alexei Morozov and the whole office a short and intelligible description of the hotel with all photo evidence, we were told that the office was waiting for a response from the host, and we had to wait for our guide.

Guide is a separate issue. The next morning it was 07/27/2018 at about 17:00 we met with Fly (nickname) guide, he came up to date, asked how the rest was, said that it was clear from the faces that it was not very good and took us to the lobby farther from everyone. We once again outlined the whole situation, he took the position that he is completely for us, supports us, confirmed that this hotel is not listed in the registers, that this is not 5 * everything .... We asked us to relocate, pick up a hotel, described what we want , they said where they had already rested (in real 5 * hotels), he listened, said that he would pick it up, named a couple and said that it would cost FROM $ 550 - $ 650 to move, well, not a divorce? (Let me remind you that our vacation is not last-minute and not the cheapest!! And you also need to pay $ 600 extra) The most interesting thing is that the hotels proposed by the guide were of the same plan or even worse !! No stars!!! By the way, the guide admitted that, by fortune, all tourists are taken to this hotel !!

In short, the tour operator, namely “COME WITH US” (so that no one would forget in any case!) Everyone turned to the receiving side, which, in turn, turned to the poisoning one, you understand. We stayed for 10 days in the bottom hotel "5 *"

Climax! So the essence of this story is that FORTUNA, namely with the operator "GO WITH US", is one giant SCHEME! The tour operator sells fortune for a high price in a cool type of hotel, you are brought to the bottom of the hotel (if you are abroad for the first time or have never rested in a hotel with stars, you will be fine) the owners of such hotels are the Turkish mafia, if you raise a scandal, they will absolutely really poison you: go to your room, rummage through your clothes, steal, no matter how they bang you in short, you really end up in a hopeless situation, of course it’s impossible to go home. For example, you pay a good $1,500 for Fortuna, a stay in a hotel costs a maximum of $400, it feels like a good two stars (open the first site where you can buy a ticket there and compare, THRONE NILBAHIR RESORT & SPA "5 *" add a discount and a discount for fortune) Now think about who's banging: "COME WITH US", GTO, HIT HOLLIDAYS, and the hotel is one giant scheme.

GO WITH US We were told it wasn't us, we didn't know what would happen, it's all the receiving side, we have nothing to do with it. What else and how! 1) who takes the money is the one responsible; 2) like no one ever took Fortune 5 * from them; 3) like they don't know the hotels where their tourists are taken.

There is always a list of hotels that take part in the fortune. And even GO WITH US does not have a copy of the certificate of the THRONE NILBAHIR RESORT & SPA "5 *" hotel, which the manager Victoria asked us to ask at the reception, so maybe GO WITH US is not a real travel agency if they do not have copies of such documents and they cannot provide their clients with such information and cannot provide a quality service and participate in such schemes to dereban and cheat their customers?!

We would highly, highly DO NOT recommend the tour operator GO WITH US to trust them with your holiday, we would never contact such an unreliable tour company!

We hope that you will not risk your vacation and choose FORTUNA! It is better to know exactly where you are going and where you will spend your vacation.

We really hope that this information will help you when choosing a vacation, and save you from dishonest tour operators, if possible, find out all the details about the hotel: certificate, year of construction or restoration, look at the official register of the hotel's "star" rating, especially in Turkey, as it is really confirmed on our example is a scam.
