Also in the snack bar and in the restaurant there were french fries, nuggets, etc. Ice cream was very tasty, white, pink and chocolate. There were also good alcoholic drinks, whiskey, baileys, etc. The sea is wonderful with golden chips. Animation really liked for adults, the child went only to her. The area is good, we went to look at the turtles in a nearby hotel. Went to Kusadasi and VMB their local mall, loved it. If we compare the service in Turkey and Egypt, then Turkey is an order of magnitude higher, this is felt in everything. Excellent hotel with excellent staff. We had a guide Julia, a wonderful person, she always helped to solve any issue. I highly recommend the hotel, I think that we will definitely return to this hotel.
The rooms are clean, beautiful, everything is done with taste. The balcony is small and glassy, but this is even a plus, in the morning if you do not close the curtains you can see the sea from the bed, very beautiful. The building is thought out in such a way that in most rooms with a side view of the sea and the neighbors do not look into your balcony, everything is perfect in this regard. Wifi works as he wants. Today it is in one place, tomorrow it is not there. If you watch the movie online, then nothing, very weak.
On the first evening we came late for dinner, somewhere around 20:00 or 20:30, a crowd of people, there were few places, the food was already all right, I was very upset. But the next day, we went at 19:30 and it's just the perfect time. All as in the picture. I want to note that dinner is only 2 hours, which is not enough for me, if it were 3, then maybe there would not be such a large number of people at the same time. The quality of the food is very good, you will find something for every taste. In the lobby there is a cafe where they make good coffee, there is also a bar, after dinner, most of the places near the tables are occupied by vacationers, to sit, chat, play board games.
The animation is good, during the day in the children's club, in the evening there is a children's disco on the stage. One minus is a small playground and only two swings, and then for the little ones, my son no longer fit there.
The territory is well-groomed, green, you can order a photo session. Very beautiful sunsets. Somewhere around 20, a car drives and sprays mosquito repellent.
In general, I was satisfied with the choice of the place and I can recommend this hotel to couples with children.
After all, such a chic place deserves all the praise!
Rest 25.05-02.06.
Flight Anex Tour - everything is normal.
The return flight was delayed, but not critical)
Transfer to the hotel:
Met at the Izmir airport with a soft drink and a Gerbera flower : )
We were the first to be brought to the hotel - we drove for about an hour.
The road is darkness ...the serpentine is still the same.
Everything was tolerable there, it swayed back, I’m generally silent about the child (((
Arrived at the hotel around 20:00 pm.
Designed and posted instantly)
Number:
2 adults + child 1.5 years.
One double bed, one single bed and a playpen for a baby.
Room 614 is spacious - clean!
Plasma, mini bar, balcony, kettle, safe, WiFi, TV with Russian channels - everything is there : )
Bathroom without fungus,
Shower gel, shampoo, cap, hair dryer - everything is there.
Room cleaned daily, floors washed)
Yes, for me it was not a little important))
For $ 1, the quality of cleaning does not change, they just spin swans)
Our room was on the 6th floor
4 elevators - and really tight with them. . since, we are with a stroller, well, most of the tourists too, we had to wait a bit until a free elevator arrived to go down.
The hotel has a huge number of children - if you are traveling with little travelers, then you will be satisfied ))))
The hotel almost does not hear Russian speech, the main part of the tourists from Europe,
England, Germany and others.
There are also Turkish families, they are very educated, I would also refer to the European level)
It was a pleasure for us to relax - no inconvenience, the children frolicked, and we smiled sweetly)
The reception speaks English, Turkish and seems to have heard German.
In Russian, don't even try : )
Nutrition:
For me, this is a very important part!
After all, living somewhere, and not being able to eat NORMALLY is more than sad ...
Everything is great here!
I will post a lot of photos +
There is a hotel page on Facebook where they regularly post photos of hotel dinners!
Take a look and see - the food is on top)
There is a children's menu, a blender,
there are a lot of highchairs for children - we have never encountered so as not to find it)
There is so much food that it is difficult to quickly figure out what you want)
The concept of ultra - even at night you can go out to eat soup or something else)
They serve ice cream at bars and also ride a bike delivering ice cream around the hotel.
Hamburgers, pizzas by the pool.
Airan - same : )
In a word - there are no problems with food : )
Local and imported drinks.
You can make fries. Juices in the machine are powdered (it seemed to me so).
Beach.
It's something : )
Shiny sand shimmers in the sun!
The sea is shallow, you need to walk to the depth.
Because of the sand - the water seems cloudy.
There were also waves throughout our stay.
Chaise lounges are new, new mattresses - no visible flaws.
There are a lot of places and sheds - enough for everyone : ))))
The territory of the hotel is sufficient for walking, all in
greenery and flowers, they take care of it very much, gardeners anxiously care for each flower, we didn’t see any garbage and dirt, only a few cigarette butts in a flowerpot, but they were removed later, but this is the culture of tourists : )
The location of the hotel in the mountains is the purest sea air!
Not just sand and palm trees
Please note that there are no markets nearby, you need to go to the city, next to the hotel there is one working hotel and one that is not completed. And then, not very close, let's say close.
Several shops on the ground floor, prices are high as usual.
4 peacocks live on the territory, sometimes they scream loudly)))) especially audible at night : )
Our windows overlooked the roof of the restaurant + the sea, the view is beautiful)
The hotel resembles the shape of a ship, I think that all the rooms are partially facing the sea.
The hotel staff is very friendly, whether you tip or not, everyone smiles at you : )
We thanked only because we were pleased to be there)
Very nice atmosphere all around
Well done animators! ! ! ! Don't get bored : )
I had a birthday during my stay at the hotel. A compliment from the hotel a fruit plate and a postcard : ) that day we went to the a la carte restaurant - definitely recommend! Delicious food : )
There are a lot of biting mosquitoes in the evening, do not forget sprays and a fumigator, and they will not bother you.
On the territory they were also scared away by something - unfortunately, I didn’t quite understand what it was)))
The hotel has flaws and shortcomings, beach towels came across with holes and stains, they noticed broken dishes in the restaurant, somewhere there is a hole in the tiles on the floor in the lobby)))
An unwashed glass, small rubbish on the beach (again, tourists)))
But even for me, with the manners of an auditor, these are such trifles, against the backdrop of the big picture!
The incident arose during the eviction.
We had a late check out of the hotel and we wanted to extend the room.
We turned to the reception - a plump girl replied that it was ok! Calculate the amount in dollars. But, we had bills of 100 and she replied that there was no task. We ran to change in the markets on the first floor ...we barely got this required amount))))
We bring it - and she replies that sorry)))
You have some old-style banknotes - we don’t take such ones ....and that’s it.
The next morning, we approached this question again, that we have a baby and we need to extend the number, there was another change of administrators and manager.
And the sweetest girl willingly helped to extend the number and she would even have change)! !
Something like that : )))
In general, I recommend the hotel, and even more ....having the habit of not returning to the hotel twice, we unanimously decided that in Palm Wings Ephesus 5 * we will return with great desire!
Palm Wings Ephesus - catch our gratitude for a wonderful vacation, and look forward to seeing you soon : ))))
A small digression: if you have even the slightest opportunity not to contact the Joinup tour operator. ua, please use it. Otherwise your holiday (100%) will be ruined. In our case, the plane was promised to take off from Kyiv to Bodrum at 8 am, departed at 7 pm. We got back with the same adventures.
Attention: it takes at least three hours to get to the hotel from the airport! The guides will tell you "about two", as they assured us, but don't believe it. If you go in the morning or afternoon, there is an opportunity to admire the scenery outside the window. They are amazing here! The bus has air conditioning, which is also a big plus. But if you get to the hotel in the dark, as happened to us, it will be a little sad.
We got to the resting place around midnight. We were quickly settled: 11th floor, room 1106, view of the sea and pools. Offered to eat at the main restaurant.
We liked the room - after renovation, everything is practically new. The only embarrassing thing was that it was very high (I'm terribly afraid of heights! ) and there were elevators right in front of the room. They asked to change the number. The next morning we were offered to see housing on the 6th floor. It seemed to us that the room was smaller, and the view was not very good - at the construction site. We decided to stay in our 1106. I got used to the height over time, the elevators moved silently. The room was cleaned to perfection. Not just changed towels and a little marafetili. Wet cleaning of the entire room - every day. The bed was changed every other day.
An important detail: the hotel staff communicates in English and Turkish. In Russian, we managed to talk with only one waiter, as it turned out in the conversation, he came from Baku. Tourists - mostly Europeans - from Germany, Holland, Romania, Bulgaria, Iran.
My fondest memory is dining out on the terrace in the main restaurant. From there you can see incredible sunsets!
The breakfasts there are great too. Freshly squeezed orange juices, omelettes and pancakes with all sorts of toppings, cooked right in front of you. Yummy! ! Lots of fruits - cherries, strawberries, apricots, watermelons, apples, oranges. Snacks are huge! Greens and vegetables! Sauces for them! My favorite is pomegranate - there is very, very much! For lunch there are always two types of soup, fish, a lot of meat. And the desserts! Their number is uncountable! And Turkish bread and pizza straight from the oven is something! The food here is very, very, very much, different and delicious!! ! The lobby bar is open around the clock, there is a normal whiskey, liqueurs, tequila, cocktails. There is live music in the evenings. A lot of people gather, drink, very lively support the musicians.
There are several swimming pools on site. We chose the one on the right on the way to the beach. It is always very quiet there, unlike the central pool, where there are many parents with children.
By the way, there are a lot of small children in the hotel, but since the territory is rather big, it is imperceptible. At least, I don’t remember capricious tantrums and crying.
Beach. But I did not like this at all ...Unfortunately. First, very small. You go, you go, and the water is all knee-deep. Without exaggeration! Secondly, the constant waves that rock the sand. In short, the bottom is not visible at all. Sunbeds on the beach are normal, mattresses are not always perfectly clean, but it’s hard to change something here, because the beach is sandy, not pebbles. The water bottle was very warm. But people practically did not swim, more - they sunbathed. We found a way out: a little to the side - and the beach is not so shallow. True, this is the territory of another hotel, but no one has ever approached us with claims. One day, the husband went on a reconnaissance along the sea and came across an incredibly beautiful beach. The next morning we went there with the whole family. We walked for a long time, but it's worth it: white sand and blue-blue calm sea. Like in the movies!
True, then it turned out that the beach is paid, like $ 5 per person. We did not take money with us and we were allowed to stay for free. It is worth noting that the people here are all very hospitable, they will do everything to make you satisfied.
We were satisfied! There are clearly more pros than cons.
I will especially note that I did not see mosquitoes, in the evening when everyone goes to have dinner, a car quickly passes through the territory and puffs something.
If you don't speak English, then you can say that there is NO animation, okay.
I myself went by minibus to Kusadasi - horror and not a city, there are hotels there, I don’t know how people relax in them.
People, do not go on excursions - this is all a scam for money. I'll tell you about my trip to PAMUKALI - this is a place where mineral water flows from the ground in the mountains, leaves a white precipitate on the rocks - very beautiful, but...
1. Trip - 60 bucks per person
2. For swimming in the pool - 18, although there is a more beautiful place nearby and it is free.
3. Roadside service - a cup, no, not a cup - a cup of tea 2 euros, although it's cheaper nearby, but no one sells it to tourists, only for locals.
traveled in St. Petersburg all under great impressions
But the lack of individual air conditioners in the rooms and the presence of a huge number of mosquitoes (! ) spoiled the rest. It is very stuffy in the hotel halls, restaurant and elevators, toilets!!!
Unfortunately, there is practically no animation in the hotel, or rather, it is very, very sluggish, compared to the Insula hotel, for example.
Guide Teztura at the hotel Alex completely disappointed. More precisely, his attitude towards tourists completely disappointed% (Accordingly, the opinion about Teztura has changed for the worse.
Of the benefits - well-organized interesting excursions.
