1. Room (cleanliness).
Minuses:
1. The food is monotonous and tasteless. Meat is rare.
2. Huge queues in the dining room and pool bar. The staff is evil.
3. Wifi $3 per day. 21 century.
4. Extending your stay by 3 hours before the transfer costs 50 euros. Rave.
5. Animation is bad, there is no active rest. Only massages for dollars offer go.
6. There is a catastrophic lack of sun loungers on the beach. People from 6 in the morning occupy, and then run for breakfast.
7. Very small area and beach. Bungalow on the beach costs 30 euros per day)).
8. There were often no free tables in the dining room, since they gave a fried chicken wing with feathers on the grill, for appetite.
9. Constant conflicts between visitors and staff in different areas of the hotel, etc.
In general, the problem with this hotel is that they accommodate more people than they can serve and more than the territory of the hotel allows. The reason for this is the greed for money, which manifests itself at every step of the rest in this hotel with a wonderful name - Holiday Garden Resort 5 *!
For food: everything is bland... Monotonous. Fruit was served: green plums, grapes, watermelon. Pebble beach. It's impossible to walk in without shoes. Bought the shoes right away.
We went to complain to the reception, as a result, we were relocated to our hotel HOLIDAY GARDEN RESORT 5 *. Here it was even worse. The room is terrible! Nobody cleaned up. Wai Fai is not. Lobby only. Bad food selection. Dirty dishes. Sunbeds on the beach without a mattress and broken even came across. There is sand on the Paths to the beach, no one even thought to clean it up all the time. In short. . . It's definitely not 5*! I do not recommend!
Animation super they are great Well done I would like to note Azada what a super acquaintance we came out and sincere knows how to communicate and find common ground with others, and Selima who made the disco super detachable. There is also a girl animator of short stature, she worked with children and is also a master of her craft, 5 star animators because they are taught to the fullest. The rooms are horrible, everything is old and falling off, they cleaned every day but the floor was dirty, nothing in the bathroom was delivered from hygiene products, there were no disposable slippers. One time hotel and 5 stars it is definitely not worth it!
1. The rooms are clean, spacious and well renovated. There is a refrigerator, air conditioning, safe (for a fee). Every day, 1.5 liters of drinking water is brought to the room.
2. The territory of the hotel itself is small, but this also has its advantages, everything is nearby. On the territory there are swimming pools, slides, a tennis court, a gym, an amphitheater, where every evening there is a children's disco, and then after 22.00 a program for adults))
3. The food is varied, there is a main restaurant, between the beach and the pool there is a bar with snacks (from 12.00 to 16.00) + a bar in the hotel itself. We never got to the a la carte restaurant, as it had not yet opened at that time.
4. The beach is clean, there are umbrellas, sunbeds, tables. There are bungalows with sun loungers, a refrigerator, but they are paid. The entrance to the water without shoes is inconvenient, because there are pebbles, but even in the hotel you can buy slippers, or, like us, we just swam in flip flops))
5. Animation. Young guys entertain throughout the day and evening, both adults and children.
6. Wi-Fi is free in the hotel lobby and in the bar, if you wish, you can take it for a fee throughout the hotel, I don’t buy an additional SIM card in Turkey.
7. If you are flying during the season, be prepared for the fact that there will not be enough sunbeds for everyone, since covid has not gone anywhere, and no one has canceled quarantine measures, and there will also be queues for food and alcohol))
- Arrived early. For a special thanks$ we were settled before 14:00 in a room with a beautiful view of the sea.
- There were minor faults in the room (dryer did not work and air conditioning intermittently). Everything was cleared up quickly! So we can say that it did not cause any inconvenience;
- The room is clean and comfortable. Linen changed 2-3 times a week, towels - almost every day. With wet cleaning, things are a little worse - the cleaning service is a little lazy))
- Nutrition. You can talk about this for a long time and a lot. I will write briefly: the food was tasty and varied (those who write that there is little food and it is not tasty, apparently eat in Michelin restaurants in everyday life). Special thanks for the most tender sea bass and a variety of eggplant dishes!
- Alcohol. The beer is light and quite tasty.
White wine can be drunk and it is quite decent, but red is a rare muck))
- Bakery. A huge number of goodies, sweets and harmfulness. I was pleasantly surprised that the desserts are not sugary.
- Variety of fruits - peaches, apples, plums, grapes. Watermelon and melon. All delicious and plentiful.
- There are shops in the hotel. This is also a plus, here you can buy sweets, souvenirs, "branded" clothes)), alcohol ...
- Upon arrival, everyone is advised to visit the hammam, do a light peeling of the skin, so that the tan lies more evenly. This is truly a worthwhile hotel procedure. Recommend. Very pleasant sensations after spa-procedures! peeling, foam bath (I don’t know what to call it)), a relaxing massage, a face mask and delicious tonic tea (albeit powder))) and as a result, a wonderful even tan. Further offer medical massage. This is, of course, a personal matter, just like everything else. I think honey.
massage should be done by a highly qualified specialist, preferably with a medical education.
- The sea in August is very warm, the water temperature is +27+28 degrees.
- Recreation and entertainment. The people in the hotel are mostly Russian-speaking, in connection with this there was a lot of Russian music. Show programs on "4". Disco (daily from 23:30 to 02:00) did not like at all. Basement, stuffy room where 5-7 people dance...and no good cocktails and good mood will save the situation. But they say that there is some kind of visiting disco. Maybe it will be more fun? ))
- FISH fish restaurant on the roof - was a wonderful bonus at the end of the holiday. It can be visited once during your stay at the hotel. We signed up in advance and it so happened that the places were only on the last day of the holiday. It was a wonderful dinner of cold appetizers, first course, main course and dessert! The sea view and the incredible beauty of the order will not leave you indifferent.
Be sure to sign up for this restaurant if you like fish))
Summary: The Holiday Garden Hotel is a worthy place for a full and pleasant stay. Disadvantages are everywhere, even in the coolest and star hotels.
After you bathe, welcome to a massage with oils that moisturize the skin, a very pleasant feeling. Also, the one who does the massage puts a clay mask on his face (men too), then they treat him to Turkish tea. It all lasts about two hours, everyone is very friendly, they wash, massage, peel gently, but at the same time strongly. 100%, very pleasant procedures, especially aroma oil massage! I don’t know what they did to me there, but I left feeling fifteen years younger! It’s just bliss! Professionals work, every one!
I really liked it, I advise everyone!! !
I'll start everything in order: We are resting as a family, we are 3 people, husband, me and my son 10 years old. We arrived at 10.00, we were immediately settled, although we were initially told at the travel agency that check-in was not earlier than 14.00!! ! Room 5117, everything works, I'm talking about those reviews that the air conditioner does not work, a side view of the neighboring hotel and the sea. For food, you can eat everywhere, there is a snack bar where you can have a bite: spaghetti, nuggets, grilled vegetables, the child made burgers for himself)) in the restaurant there is an abundance of food, fruits, grilled food, no one left hungry !!! ! They also wrote that they did not have enough food, I wonder how much they needed then ?? ? Alcoholic drinks, of course, their bottling is not very good, but I personally really liked the wine !!! ! The staff is GORGEOUS!! ! I also read in the reviews that louts, you are probably louts yourself, who wrote about this, it’s not in vain that the proverb says: As it comes around, it will respond !! ! The room is cleaned every day, everything changes, towels, sheets changed every three days!!!
Sea, pebbles, but for $ 4 you can buy special slippers, or buy more soap dishes at home and enter the sea without any problems !! ! The water is very warm, they also wrote that it is cold because of the mountain river, but I myself am a frostbite, the water is just comfort for me !! ! There is a swimming pool with slides, but at the time 2 times a day.
I didn't like the animation! The management of the hotel, I wish them all to change!! ! The child was interested for 2 days, then the hackneyed songs and dances were just fed up, our child is active, he turned to the animators, to do something at the age of 10, they kind of said that they don’t understand him))) I wanted a disco, after dinner and such a dense meal to unload yourself with dancing, the child also wanted !! ! You can make themed discos for both children and adults!!!
In general, I like everything for this meager amount of the tour !! ! Minus only animation !!!! !
