True about the Thalassa Shalimar Hotel.
From 20.06. 2010 to 04.07. 2010 my friends and I rested in this hotel. Why did you choose this hotel? According to vacationers, the rating was 4.56. This is a pretty high rating. But in fact, he has a rating of 3.8. As it turns out, it's overpriced. Now I will give reasons. The hotel area is average, very green. There is no discrepancy with what is indicated on the sites. The width of the beach is not 200m, as it is written on the site, but at best 100m, although there is no feeling of a large number of people on it. The sand and the sea are beautiful. There were enough sunbeds, but no mattresses. Therefore, our advice is to come by 9.00 and everything will be fine. As a serious drawback, the lack of a locker room can be noted. The cafe is small. From drinks, something like cola, etc. Beer and other drinks for a fee.
Now about placement. We have several families. Initially offered a room on the first floor. After examining it, we rejected it, since the exit from the balcony is directly onto the lawn. This is of course an amateur. But we thought that safety and the absence of vacationers looking into your room are above all. Some of our friends were given a normal number, the rest were explained that they would be released tomorrow. I had to financially interest the worker. After that, normal numbers were found. Communication with staff is a big problem. Nobody speaks Russian. Good for those who know French or English.

So here's the number. They are all the same as twin brothers. Furniture can be said to be wretched. What struck us was that all the TVs had manual controls torn apart so that everyone took the remotes. Air conditioning in the main building is centralized, it does not work well. We were saved by the fact that there was no stuffiness. Bungalows have split systems. There are no safes in the rooms, only at the reception, for a fee of 35 dinars. The floor is tiled. What struck us was the absence of a Russian channel, although the site claims to have one. It is not clear the attitude of Russian tour operators (we are from Biblio-Globus) to this issue, since there are quite a few Russian-speaking vacationers there. Percentage: French (50%), Poles (20%), Russian speakers (20%), others (10%). Basically, everything is tailored for the elderly French. There are no discos. After dinner for one hour on the veranda the music is mainly for the elderly. Animation in a word miserable. The main restaurant is reminiscent of Soviet times. The furniture is old, instead of glasses there are ordinary glasses. Wine is served in bottles (any quantity), the quality is good. There is an incredible stuffiness in the large hall, plus smoke from cooking. We ate on the veranda all the time. We fed one waiter, who served us quite quickly and held our place. The fruits were good. In general, there are no complaints about food. Declared a la carte restaurants, only one name. The pool is big and nice.
Our friends 1 day before departure, money was missing from the room. The amount is not very large, but nevertheless there is reason for reflection. The rooms were cleaned as stated, but all the linen was washed. In a word, in order to raise the level of the hotel, they need to overhaul the entire number of rooms and places to eat.
We visited several excursions, learned a lot about the country.
Summing up, we can conclude that if we had a rest together, then all the shortcomings would have a very negative effect on the rest, and so our vacation was a success. What else can be noted, for the first 5 days a very strong wind blew from the land and at a water temperature of +21 it was uncomfortable after swimming.
Asking myself if I went back there, I would definitely say no. For this money in Turkey you can get a much better service.
