It is not at all clear why there are these "dishes" next to the drinks machines, if there are both beautiful cups and glass glasses nearby, which will not become garbage after 5 minutes of use.
It is worth emphasizing that many people take disposable plastic to the beach - such light objects are easily carried by the wind and sooner or later end up in the sea - in one piece or already as microplastics from landfills.
It would be great if this dangerous pollutant were eliminated in the Seagull hotel, which is excellent in its concept! )))
Indeed, from an economic point of view, this is useful for the hotel - reducing the cost of both the purchase of this "utensils" and the disposal of waste - they will be generated MUCH less!
Everything here is nice and good, except for this irresponsible attitude towards Turkish nature, and, accordingly, both residents and tourists (((
2. The view from the room was on the sea, nothing was paid extra for it. They said: "You are here for a short time, so you have such a number. " It was certainly very nice!
3. The territory of the hotel is not very large. At the entrance there are a couple of benches, as well as a green area where you can take pictures. The location of the pool - the only thing I did not really like - in the center of the meal. That is, of course, people did not swim when breakfast / lunch / dinner was taking place, but swimming in the pool when tables and chairs were around was not comfortable. Although no one was swimming, including children who had their own "corner" in the pool - everyone was sitting in the sea! By the way, about the children - there were quite a lot of them, but somehow they didn’t really interfere, which of course pleases)
4. The sea is a separate love! ! The temperature at this time was the most comfortable. So it was good to take a dip in the water when the temperature was "overboard" almost 40 degrees. It’s not long to stomp to the sea, a maximum of 5 minutes, or even 3 (depending on which part of the hotel you descend from and at what pace you go).
5. The beach is small pebbles with sand, it is pleasant for the feet, the only thing is that because of the sun it was hot without slippers. Sunset in the sea - stones, but after passing a couple of meters you immediately dive and swim where you see - the depth. But there was also an entry along the bridge with steps that were not high above the water, and a separate entry - a pier, it was possible to go down (but higher) and jump. In general, there are no complaints about the entrance and the sea itself. What can not be said about vacationers. My boyfriend and I were in no hurry to wake up early in the morning in order to have time to take sun loungers on the beach, that is, we came to dinner. At this time, people are already leaving to eat, and it seemed that the beach should be empty and there are many free sunbeds. So it was, the beach was empty, but there were no sunbeds - people left towels on them and because of this there was practically no place to stumble, you had to drag one sunbed to another from different sides of the beach. The beach itself is not very small, although there were also not very many people, so as not to just miss each other. And if vacationers understood that leaving their towels to take a seat is not necessary, then everyone would be happy. By the way, some even left for the night, so that in the morning they would come and take their place. The main contingent is Russians and Ukrainians.
6. Let's go back to the room. As I wrote above - the sea view is beyond praise. Room with a balcony. The room only had liquid soap and toilet paper. Towels were changed every day and the room was cleaned every day. Disposable slippers are not provided. We wanted a double bed, but there were two separate ones, which were moved to us. There was also a TV, there were Ukrainian and Russian channels. This is certainly good, because in the heat we did not go out (except for the sea and eat), and therefore hung out in the room. There was also a small refrigerator (outside it was old, rusty, inside everything was OK), but no drinks inside, although it was indicated that there was a mini bar. There is a large closet at the entrance.
7. Nutrition. There was enough food: a variety of cheeses for breakfast, pancakes in the morning, a lot of salads throughout the day, watermelons, melons, a lot of sweets. French fries, pasta, spaghetti, grilled vegetables, grilled fish, meat only chicken in different variations: legs, cue balls, barbecue. I can’t say that the food is super varied, but you definitely won’t stay hungry!
8. Animation every evening. Entertain both children and adults. The host was great. There are no complaints about this part.
9. Wi-fi is paid. We charged $10 each for two devices for 7 days. So it was cheaper if you take a day.
Behind the hotel. When you leave the territory of the hotel, you are immediately greeted by an alley of shops: souvenir, with clothes (where without fur-leather : )), grocery, etc. They will also try to sell you excursions (we took them officially - from the tour operator). Since this is a village, you will not see anything supernatural, but there is where to walk. The sellers, of course, all speak Russian, and some of them told us phrases in Ukrainian, as they asked where we are from - the gods of marketing))
10. Results. The hotel is good! If you want a budget, not far from the airport and without a road between the hotel and the sea - wellcome!
Pros: view from the room, sea, food, animation.
Cons: swimming pool near meals, sunbeds occupied 24/7 (even if people are not on the beach),
Was 7 days 8 nights.
I chose for a long time and according to reviews and from tour agents, and I monitored the hotels myself.
Let me start by saying that I was very pleased that I got to this hotel.
1st + This is a wonderful service.
A - cleaning every day regardless of the dollar on the bed.
B - there were also problems with the air conditioner (the remote control is buggy).
So the first time at 22.00 they came and did it, the 2nd time they were just on the beach - everything came OK.
Receptionist there is responsive and working.
2nd + this is excellent food for 4 *.
I ate there even trying to take a little (overeating).
3rd+ is beautiful clear water and a normal beach:
A) there is an entry from the steps.
B) there is a pier and you can go both through the steps and bend down (at the discretion and your preparation).
C) There are tables on the pier and "walk, swim") even until the morning - checked.
D) They wrote that corals were needed - I don’t agree everywhere you can go in and out, but I don’t argue that it’s easier in corals, but you haven’t seen places with stones, and I know what I’m talking about. So decide for yourself.
4th+ is a very good alcohol, even local (if you need to stagger, believe me, you will succeed).
Yes, here the wine is not very (not an expert), the choice is not the widest and the cocktails are not made.
5th+ is the 1st line without (across the road, etc. ).
6th. + animation is normal there and chief Hassan +, and Ulyana learned a little.
But for girls there are more animations.
7 everything is nearby and everything is well-groomed.
CONS - borrow sun loungers, Wi-Fi only PAY, a la carte restaurant only PAY 15 bucks per person. We liked the shrimp, the shallow pool.
I give a life hack on Wi-Fi - there is Wi-Fi across the road of the excursion and it reaches the hotel lobby. And how to take the password, everyone will decide for himself (I bought an extreme jeep safari and really liked it, but it will be dusty, mind you).
Nearby there is a canyon Beldibi Guynyuk - I advise everyone liked it very much: a couple from the Dnieper, a couple of N-Novgorod + a couple of Lviv 12 dollars taxi + 2 entrance.
By the way, there are all taxis for 6 people.
The hotel is family run and do not expect a big party, but we and not only we arranged it ourselves. Meet, communicate, cooperate.
Everything is sooo good because if you look for cons, then why are you going there at all. Rest and atmosphere are made by people.
Made good friends.
Peace and good rest to all.
Totally unprofessional, mean, rude and incompetent.
Be prepared that they will not rush to help you there, but will blame you for all your problems at the hotel.
The air conditioner stopped working, so you forgot how to use it.
Low quality bracelets that keep coming loose and falling off your hand, be prepared to pay for the loss.
Rude attitude means you are to blame. . .
I can go on for a long time. . .
There are no Europeans in the hotel, I'm not surprised, the hotel does not match the price.
The rest of the staff are very friendly!
The restaurant has good staff, cleaning ladies and handymen are also very nice.
Beautiful beach.
Sea view room. I was delighted! Internet paid -10 dollars catches everywhere except the beach. There it catches -45 for 5 minutes - no)) this is probably the only thing not a big minus and a plus - rest from the phone) The room is clean in Provence style)) the beds are not large in length. I'm at 167 and if 185 a man lies short on his legs)) They cleaned every day.
The territory is fabulous - all in flowers, cozy, warm and without pathos. Beach - a lot of sunbeds mattresses were given to everyone, the sea is clean, the people in the hotel were 30% full. But I was leaving and opened Turkey to the Russians. I think it will be full. Food - everything is very tasty (and I have something to compare with a lot where I have already been, for example, food in the 5-ke in Dubai was much worse in January than here) and most importantly, something new every day. Meat, fish, chicken, fruits, their alcohol is not even bad when compared with Turkish drinks in other hotels where I was.
There was no animation, only music, but this is due to the fact that there is still a small occupancy of the hotel. Will be 50% will be voiced to me. The contingent - Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova heard on the beach. There are not many with children, mostly people who are over 50. I am 41) The staff is all from cleaners to the director, and he is there all the time - polite, attentive and smiling! HAPPY BIRTHDAY. congratulations at dinner they sit down at the table covered in rose petals - beautifully. They give a cake (very tasty) and a gift from the hotel - a mug. Very so cute!
Separately, I want to note the Spa of this hotel - Sonya, she walks along the beach with a girl (sorry, I forgot her name) offer spa services - go, I went 2 times - the prices are very good. And in D. R. got a discount! The Balinese masseuses give a gorgeous massage, and any massage from relaxation to hard, whatever you want! Hammam is great. And I want to mention Ira - the seller in the fur store on the territory of the hotel! Responsive - she will tell you everything, advise, she listened to me in any trifles, passing into the dining room, I will stop and chat. Let's laugh.
I have a lot to say but only good things about this hotel.
For WI-FI gave 7 dollars. The food is varied, a lot of cheeses, vegetables, herbs, meat is enough in different versions, stewed, fried, grilled fish. The variety of desserts is such that I did not have time to try everything during the whole vacation. From fruits watermelons, tangerines, grapefruit, plums. Local alcohol, gin tonic, whiskey, Turkish and Russian vodka, beer.
Animation completely suited, every evening performances, especially thanks to Dasha, the children adore her. Opposite the hotel there are shops with various souvenirs and sweets. In addition, we entertained ourselves with excursions to the hammam, jeep safari. There are water activities on the territory of the hotel, my friend and I flew on a parachute. The territory is not very big but everything is compact and the main sea is very close.
The hotel is good, I recommend.
