The food was poor, there was practically no meat, and if there was, it tasted terrible. Fish was given a couple of times for the whole holiday. There were no fruits either, only grapes and apples.
The beach is terrible, not cleaned (there was no sand under the cigarette butts), there are few sunbeds, you can only swim from the pier, and it’s deep there. There is a small entrance on the side of the beach but it is very dirty (a lot of seaweed that no one cleaned) and you can break your legs, as there are large stones. We went to swim on the nearby beach, which is cleaner and with a normal entrance.
The ala'kart restaurant is closed, the snack bar near the beach is also closed. The bar near the pool worked but not always and from alcohol only local cheap drinks (crayfish, beer, wine).
The entertainment program was only a couple of days for children, for adults one day of karaoke and that's it.
A couple of days before departure, they began to prepare before closing and they were not embarrassed until people were still resting, they collected almost all the sunbeds from the beach and removed the summer terrace of the restaurant.
I liked the city itself, very green and beautiful. I recommend to go for a walk on the embankment and go to the bird island.
I do not recommend the hotel itself, if you already fly to Kusadasi, then there are many hotels with much better service!
And a very reasonable price.
Cons: in fact 4 * with a stretch. The hotel is on a hill (difficult to climb for older people). There is an elevator to the beach, but it does not always work.
General impressions: very satisfied.
It was the second holiday in the season, in June we were in Alanya at 5 *. We wanted to visit another region of Turkey, for 5 nights with good flights for 2 + 1 we paid 750 dollars. This is a good price for this region, so we were ready for the nuances, and we immediately chose a positive mood for ourselves.
I will describe the important things that you should pay attention to those traveling with children.
- Animation is, takes place in the amphitheater at 21.15-21.30. The kids club didn't work. The site is old, up to 3 years old.
- Swimming pools for children of all ages, there are slides, but there the sun hits in the afternoon, so we never went down.
- There is no Russian TV, no children's channels.
- Food. There will always be something to feed your child, ours is 6 years old. Snack is given in the dining room - fries, burgers, vegetables.
- Beach. Children's beach in par value, it is - but not comfortable, pebble entry, cobblestones after 5 m, algae after 7 m. Around the corner there is a beach of a neighboring hotel with a good sunset.
P. S. The hotel is old, but it holds up)))) It can be seen from the scale - it was a serious colossus. Today, many locations are not used, the hotel has become 4 *, but it has not crumbled at all, as many people write here... It is better for girls with silicone not to fly here, because. their lips will be very inflated not with silicone, but with disappointment)))). Yes, the Russian-speaking girl no longer works, but both the animators and one guy at the reception understand Russian, set yourself a Turkish translator just in case. We were in the hotel for 2 full days, the rest spent on trips - Kusadasi, boat, Pomukale. We bought vouchers at the nearby bazaar, but if you go even further, there is also a travel agency there, with even cheaper prices. The bazaar nearby is scarce and expensive (compared to Alanya), a shopping center is a little further away, and in the Migros supermarket you can take a lot of things from sweets. Right around the corner of the hotel there is a supermarket Sok, maybe someone will need diapers or Ayran))) Be sure to visit Ephesus, it is nearby, and Pomukale is the closest from Kusadas.
We are happy, even after the cleaning lady threw out the bag that was standing near the trash can, with a deflated mattress and children's beach things)))) They let the mattress go through the waters)))), if anyone understands... Yes, the views from the dining room are simply bombed!
If you have not been to Kusadasi - this hotel is not the worst option, but you should not expect anything special, look at the price!
Kitchen, I would like to divide this assessment into 2 criteria, satiety and taste, here I think 4+ every day there was meat and fish. Variety here unfortunately 3 in advance, but you will not be hungry. But in reality, the variety of dishes is very small, rice, chicken, vegetables 80% of lunch and dinner. Although it was delicious. The pool, as for me, is very warm, the animation, two guys raised a crowd from children to the elderly, for which I respect them. Inconvenient infrastructure, descent from the lobby as from 3rd to 1st floor without an elevator. But you can get used to it. There are 125 steps to the sea from the pool if you do not use the elevator from the snack bar, which, by the way, does not work, as the owner has changed and is undergoing cosmetic repairs.
The beach is good for those who like to dive and swim and don't like to go to the depth for a long time, if you jump at once about 3 meters deep. Nearby there is a descent to the water. The sunbeds were always free. In general, for 4 * this hotel deserves a solid 4 points from me, I didn’t go and didn’t look for jambs, I didn’t look for mold, everything was clean in the bathroom. The area is being cleared. I recommend for rest and campaign, and family, and singles. Well, on jambs, for 28 tr. for a week of rest, I don’t see the point in even looking for these jambs. The nature in the hotel is wonderful, a lot of green areas. Veranda under the pines, buzz. Well, for those who are going to look for jambs, I advise you to stay at home.
Bad hotel, staff, food, staff and tour operator.
It is impossible to drain the toilet on the sixth floor.
You will be very sorry if you get there.
Now a little about the cleaning itself...the vacuum cleaner was not even seen in the hands of the cleaner, she made me change the towels and wipe the eternal puddle on the floor in the bathroom. And what was my surprise when I saw how the hotel employee wiped the floor in the bathroom ....IT WAS THE SAME TOWELS THAT WE JUST REPLACED FOR CLEAN!!!
A nightmare! Soap-ryl accessories were not brought even once (fortunately, they brought everything they needed with them). Toilet paper was delivered only once.
The Turks at the reception do not even try to understand Russian, although 95% of the guests are Russian speakers. A boorish girl named Vita, who is at the reception and speaks Russian, is clearly not puzzled by the fact that your stay in this hotel is somehow reminiscent of a human ...she answered all requests for a change of number that there were no rooms, but at the same time perfectly offered to solve the problem with the help of a surcharge, 10 dollars per person for each night of stay!
Representatives of ANEX TUR are puzzled only by how to get you more cash by offering all kinds of excursions, by the way, the prices for which are three times too high!! ! how many times they turned to them for help, neither Alena, nor Victoria, nor Irina, did not lift a finger in order to somehow change the situation.
By the way, a lot of Turks live in the hotel without bracelets, apparently they just pay directly and they are provided with normal rooms, and the rest of the garbage dump for tourists!
As for food, everything was not so bad for us, a lot of different herbs, very tasty olives and a lot of delicious cheese, there was also fish, but tears were read in the eyes of men)) they clearly lacked normal meat. Meat, sausage, sausages, everything is soy! Alcohol is diluted beyond recognition, the taste is disgusting)), the notorious Turkish coffee, in this hotel is a brown liquid))
From pleasant, nature! The views are magnificent, mountains, sea, pine trees, eucalyptus. Air miracle! I liked the sea, warm, the water is very clean, you can see the bottom at a glance, the entrance from the feast is also a nice addition.
And another plus is the hammam, sauna and excellent massage.
We entertained ourselves as best we could, we went to the city and admired its beauties.
The local population is friendly people, they will not leave you in trouble, despite the language barrier, everyone is ready to help.
PS: do not refuse to rest in Kusidasi, a great place, there are many good hotels on the coast, but the BLU VISTA HILL hotel, bypass the tenth road.
Do not believe the positive reviews, this is a fake, they are written by representatives of the hotel and ANEX TUR.
Food: the same type, scarcely. Empty scrambled eggs in the morning, no pancakes, no pancakes. Fruits: watermelons, melons, grapes, peaches, apples, plums, pears. Meat: one or two types, mainly for dinner. Vegetables are enough. Sweets were, but without much assortment and variety. DRINKS: EVERYTHING IS DILUTE - one water. AND ALCOHOL AND NOT ALCOHOL. AT ALL DRINKING LOCATIONS. The building is dirty, the rooms are dirty, the territory is dirty, the beach is dirty. THE HOTEL IS NOT CLEANED. Beach towels must be returned in the evening and received at 9 am. If you get up early, then either with or without your own.
The animation is not bad. Both during the day by the pool and in the evening in the amphitheater, the guys are trying. The pools are good, the beach is good for those who swim and dive. Entering the stairs or jumping from a meter height. There is an entrance to the sea, but it is not equipped. I had to go to the neighbors. Slides for a week did not turn on even once. PROS: Price. The territory is green, although not quite well maintained. There is an elevator to the beach. Pools. Location. And the weather (was just wonderful) CONS: No service. Dirt and trash everywhere. As for Turkey, a meager assortment of food. To obscenely strongly diluted drink.
RESULT: DO NOT RECOMMEND. The hotel pulls on 2 **
