To begin with, this is my first review, despite the fact that we travel very often (with an interval of 2-3 months), but everything was always good, and when it’s good, I don’t see writing a five hundredth review on how great it was for us sense, here the situation is completely different, positive reviews about this hotel misled us, I hope my review will help other people make their choice. The hotel is not that terrible, but it is 3-4 stars maximum! five there and does not smell! And for such a cuisine, even in Turkey, they don’t give more than 4....
I'll start right away with the cons, because there are many times more pros
1. Room / building: they gave a room with the main building on the 4th floor, large, with a sea view. with a large terrace. A nice big bathroom with a shower with rolled up doors (well, they didn’t close) and while swimming, a huge puddle of water poured out from under the cabin, which stood around the clock. those. the floor in the bathroom was permanently in the water.
There were 3 floor levels in the room, you enter the room - an entrance hall, go up 2 steps, another hallway from which you enter the bathroom and to get into the bedroom you had to go down the stairs, I mean that if you are at night without turning on the light , decide to go to the toilet, you risk twisting your neck and breaking your legs, and given the puddles on the floor, the likelihood increases. Bed linen is fresh, changed every other day, towels every day, but God forbid you look under the sheet, look at the mattress, he is older than my grandfather (see pictures).
And by the way, all the floors in the corridors are covered with carpets! on the third day we woke up at 7 am from the noise of a washing vacuum cleaner under the door, they decided to wash the carpets, the stench of damp dirty rugs stood for 3 days! overcame the distance along the corridor from the elevator to the room holding their breath.
There were 2 elevators, but only one of them went to the 4th floor, the second only to the 3rd, but the first one was broken 50% of the time, when we were there in the evening people got stuck and the elevator operator ran around the floors looking for them)
I won’t write about the peeling tiles on the floor in the room and in some rooms of the hotel, from the Brezhnev era, after all, the hotel is 45 years old, you can forgive them for this trifle)
2. Food: ooooh! this is a different song!!!! ! If you are a lover of variety and frills, then you are in the wrong hotel!
Have you ever seen scrambled eggs for breakfast already on trays, ready, cooled, weathered? I saw such a miracle in Creta Maris, it was impossible to eat these insoles! Dinners - every day garnish was pasta/spaghetti and french fries. Meat baked in the oven (such as boiled pork) or pork (very fatty) or lamb (I don’t eat it at all because of the specific smell, well, here it tastes and color). some kind of indistinct fish drenched in a creamy sauce, or something fried, the smell of fried herring! cutlets, in Russia we make such cutlets in factory canteens from semi-finished products, they didn’t even lie next to meat! Well, basically chicken with three different sauces, we cackled on the 3rd day. The most important thing is that there are only two islands with food and they are small, there is a queue for each dish, the crowd around these counters is unreal! everyone is crowding around, slamming plates of food at you. Grill lovers - I will please you - it is not there! no meat, no fish! the entire restaurant is covered, there is no outdoor area. the stench of fish roasting and burning there is unreal! Fruits: nectarines/peaches the size of Russian plums, the texture is like a carrot but the sweetness is even worse! plums are also small and oak! two types of watermelon: sluggish-beaten, or green-crispy, melons are similar to our pumpkins - no color, no taste, no smell! sliced oranges for breakfast, that's all! there are no more fruits there! ) Vegetables - green crispy tomatoes and sluggish cucumbers. True, I will pay tribute - very tasty bread! baked fresh for dinner, it was still hot! Now about the food system - 99% of the hotel residents with AI bracelets, like us with half board (breakfast, dinner) are very few! At breakfast, all drinks are available to you: as everywhere and always - invite-type powdered juices, tea bags, instant coffee from the machine. But for dinner, only water is already free, tea costs 2.5 euros (!!! ), but it looks like boiling water in a cup, stinking of bleach, and next to it is a bag with a finely chopped broom instead of tea, nothing to do with black tea to taste it has no swipes. The last straw was the found piece of a plastic bag in boiled rice, they called the waitress, we show him the find, and she declares to us in a blue eye - and yu shyur ??? ? no, damn it, we are not sure, we ourselves brought it with us and mixed it into rice! then she shrugged her shoulders and silently took away the plate, throwing its contents into the trash, and went about her business further, starently ignoring our table. We decided not to go to the manager, not to make a fuss, so as not to spoil our vacation completely. In general, on the third day we decided that we would no longer eat at the hotel! Well, in such a diet there is also a plus - in two weeks you will lose weight, build up!
3. Pools/sunbeds: at the time of our stay there were 1700 people in the hotel, in August there will be 2000. but even now, with the declared 7 pools (they counted both indoor and paddling pools for children), swimming in them was more like herring in a barrel! there are a third less sunbeds than there are people in the hotel! in the mornings, a bloodbath unfolded for sunbeds by the pools. On the first two days, having gone out to the pool by 9 am and not finding anything free, on the third I decided to get up early and take a seat. At 6 in the morning I went to the pool, I had 6 places left to choose from..... exactly 15-20 minutes later there were none. Attention to the question - are there among you lovers on your vacation to get up at 6 in the morning and jog with towels to the sunbeds? a few days later, queues of scandalous people began to line up at the reception in all languages of the world, that they had nowhere to lie down to sunbathe, the hotel administration did not find another solution to the problem, how to scatter leaflets in 5 languages around all the rooms that it was forbidden to book sunbeds! in the end, nothing has changed, there are really much fewer sunbeds than people! I can’t imagine what will happen in August, when there will be more people! in the end, the people were lying on the lawns right on the towels, and this is 5 stars??? ? (photo attached)
4. No animation. but for us this is insignificant, so I won’t write in detail, there is, okay!
5. The beach is not bad, there are good entries without stones underfoot.
In general, the vacation was a success, only due to the fact that we rented a car for a week, left this horror early in the morning, and returned late in the evening, looked at the whole island, traveled all the sightseeing places on our own, very interesting! there are stunning views on the roads, many parking places on the highway you can stop to take pictures. The roads are great! be careful, there are a lot of police on the roads and even more speed cameras! And the fines are very hefty!
I will gladly answer any questions and objections.
