Well, let's start:
When buying a tour, we paid for the standard Land view, planning to pay for a room upgrade upon arrival, with a sea view (Sea view). They refused to give a direct view of the sea, even with a surcharge, arguing that it was full load, although 5 minutes before that we asked the guide and he said that the load could not be more than 50% at all. With grief, we agreed in half and paid for Sea side view (view of the neighboring hotel and a piece of the sea). At first I liked the room itself, but at night, when everything was quiet, a constant crackling sound began from the supposedly modem (as they say at the reception), it was problematic to sleep.
Taking this opportunity, when guest relay Elvira (Elya) approached us on the beach and asked how our vacation was going, we told her about this problem and she said that she would solve it, but very soon we regretted contacting her at all
The next day, we approached her and reminded her of ourselves (by the way, she didn’t remember us at all, called us by a different name and asked: “How do you like A la carte? ”, In which we have not even signed up yet).
We went with her to the reception, where no one was interested in solving our problem, although they understood it, since the manager simulated a crack, and we also showed them a recording of sounds from the recorder, but he started to drive us away and said: “Come tomorrow, there are no rooms” .
Guest Relation simply translated his words to us and was about to run away, then the husband already insistently and with displeasure asked: “Are you suggesting that we stay up one more night? » After that, numbers appeared from somewhere.
We were taken from the reception to look at the room that appeared and on the way they said that we were not the first of this number (1447) to complain about it, it was already reported that it was problematic. That is, we were initially given a problem number for a surcharge, wonderful. Another girl from the reception said that she did not hear any sound when she got up with us to assess the problem.
By the way, my husband wrote a review on Tripadvisor and the hotel replied to him that they did not understand what was bothering us and generally refuted all our complaints that we were lying. In this manner, they basically respond to all objectionable reviews.
Let's go back to Ela. We had a bit of a taste for the room situation and my husband decided to write a review while staying right there, hoping it would be taken into account. But in fact, we got the opposite effect, which greatly overshadowed the rest of our stay in this hotel.
Judging by Eli's behavior, her task is to go around and ask for a rave review for souvenirs (this is also debunked). But we personally lay on the beach ourselves and asked the neighbors on the sunbeds: “Where did you get these hotel beach bags? ” And they answered us: “They are given for reviews. ” And Elya herself later confirmed this too.
Guest relay is a person who should solve our problems, but in fact, after our truthful feedback, her attitude towards us has changed dramatically. She ceased to be friendly, meeting us at the A la carte restaurant, she felt just an electric cold, without a smile, with a stone face, and also boldly answered our questions. It seems that a person absolutely does not know how to work with negativity, is not empathic, and if she did not help us, she could at least keep her face, but no. This is the first time I see such an attitude towards guests and I am very surprised.
Even before the tour, we were sitting in the lobby, she walked past us and wished us a good day in a voice full of hatred. It would be better if she didn't tell us anything than that.
She helped organize the test for covid, and she said to decide further questions on it yourself, with a Turkish-speaking doctor, these are not my problems. She did not direct us in any way, she answered our questions, standing up to us practically turning away and not looking into our eyes. That is, after our review, she, in principle, ceased to be interested in us, and answered questions with a touch of contempt. This is extremely unprofessional.
It seems that guest relay is needed in order to regulate problems, to be friendly to all guests without exception, but here, if you are dissatisfied with something, they will treat you as if they were taking revenge on you. Why should I write a good review if I didn't like it? A good review must be earned.
In general, our communication with the guest relay does more harm than good.
The main negative attitude towards the hotel was formed because of her.
By number:
Fresh new rooms, cleaning at a good level, the first days the swans were not spun, but then they began to swivel. They left tips.
Cosmetics in the rooms were not replenished for all the time even once. Strange for a 5 * hotel, I meet this for the first time. There are no robes. The minibar is replenished only with water and soda, but this is written in the concept. The claimed UAI is pure zilch, don't be fooled by it. Everything is done locally, imported for a fee. I also read opinions that even if you ask a la imported, then most likely it will be some kind of badyaga, far from the original. But I won’t argue here, since I haven’t tried this supposedly imported all the time, they hide it in every possible way and you need to beat it out if you really need it
The staff in the dining room does not work well. Waiters walk around offering drinks.
Sometimes we were lucky and they approached us, but for 10 days of stay it was 3-4 times at most. As a rule, we were "not noticed". Situation: the waitress walked around serving everyone around us, even those who came later, stubbornly bypassing us. Despite our obvious glances with a request to come up for ordering drinks, she looked at us and seeing this did not fit. When her husband decided to call her directly, she first made a face like “What do you want from me? ". Very unpleasant. There are a lot of locals in the hotel, they are served first of all, then the Germans go, and everyone else is leftover. In the patesserie coffee shop, the service was many times better, there were nice guys from the staff.
Food is a separate issue. The choice of food is very poor, always the same. There are definitely no seafood, let alone sushi (vegetables, not what you think), which they write about here, don’t believe it! There is white fish on the grill, meat is all the same type.
Fruit maximum oranges and apples with watermelons, sometimes there was medlar. Guest relay comment on food: “Well, the crown and not everyone works, but we work - say thank you, that at least like that, ” but something tells me that here and at normal times the choice is small. Do not expect delicacies for sure, and not everyone will like ordinary food.
There is both a gentle entry into the sea and a pier. This is a big plus. The only thing is when there are waves, the water in the sea is noticeably cloudy. The entrance to the sea is sandy, but there were large stones. In general, there were enough sunbeds, but by the second half of our vacation there were very few free ones on the beach, there were more on the pier. At the current load it is tolerable, but in the high season it will be problematic to take places after breakfast. The beach is very small.
By the way, there are also few places on the terrace near the dining room, even in the off season.
At the end of the holiday, we were pleased with the moment when we were going to order 1 kg of bean coffee from Alanya with delivery to the hotel.
But at the reception they offered to bring him personally the next day. Thank you very much for this
Most of all we liked the sea, but this is not the merit of the hotel. We will never come back here and will not recommend Azura Deluxe to anyone.
I never write negative reviews, but this one just couldn't resist.
FOOD is a separate issue. We know that the check-in rate is at 14-00, so it's normal. I was immediately surprised by the style of the hotel - it resembles a gypsy baron's villa, it's too much for our taste, there are TVs everywhere, even, excuse me, above the urinals. The room was not bad, the view is beautiful, these are all pluses about the room. Further cons - the hood in the toilet works only from 16-00 to 18-00, the air conditioner is central and not regulated, the cleaning is very weak, they forget to take out all the garbage, in 9 days the bed was changed 1 time, there is no kettle, tea, coffee, no bathrobes, a set of threads with needles, a mini-bar only upon arrival, then it is replenished only with water and then they forgot to replenish it a couple of times, from cosmetics only shampoo and cream and also only upon arrival, then not, and for sweets twice after cleaning the maid left the room wide open ! Complained, but what's the point... And this hotel positions itself as Deluxe UALL! There is no imported alcohol at all!
There is animation, but it is in Turkish. Beach - because of the pier, the water stagnates, with a wave, all the debris and foam accumulate on the beach. The staff hardly speaks Russian. Now nutrition - eating is a battle for food! We have breakfast early, in the restaurant at 7-15, the staff is still sleeping! 2-3 staff members rush around the hall. At lunch and dinner, a disaster - queues everywhere, cooks who serve food do not understand you. In addition, in the hotel, 90% of vacationers are Turks, they behave in a completely boorish way, if there are Turks in line for food besides you, then you will be served last! And it is done so unceremoniously!
The choice of dishes is extremely small, for an ultra inclusive it is simply poor. All dishes can be counted on the fingers. From chicken and turkey meat, 2 times a small inclusion of beef (stew with a minimum of meat in a huge amount of vegetables) and 2 times mini cutlets. No seafood. No theme nights. True, on the holiday of bayram they gave mutton 1 time. For breakfast, 3 types of cheese and 2 types of bad sausage, tasteless pancakes, different omelettes. There are no eggs. Jam only in plastic boxes of 5 grams, 3 types. Fruit minimum and only in the main restaurant. Snack only on the beach from 12 to 16 hours is pizza, hamburger and french fries. In the lobby from 10-30 to 18 hours cakes, but no Turkish sweets. Gozleme only at lunch in the main restaurant is already cut into pieces. We didn't like the a la carte restaurant. The same dishes from the main restaurant, only portioned and decorated. The hotel only has electronic clocks by the pool, and during the day you can’t see anything on them.
In general, in every sense it is very noticeable that the hotel saves on everything! Our opinion - we will never come back here!
The food is monotonous. Meat is scarce. Only chicken and turkey. The youngest child ate almost nothing.
The room is beautiful. Several jarred installations on the walls with photographs of Aguilera and quotes from her. The pillows are hard.
Very small area of the hotel. in the restaurant, the waiter came up when he saw what we had eaten and asked to leave quickly, they say, reservations for the tables. very bad aftertaste. tips were always left. On the tables for lunch and dinner, there is never a complete set of cutlery: a table for four people, but a glass can stand alone. You won't find a fork with fire during the day.
Incredibly beautiful hall design. Lots of gold and mirrors. Gypsy Paradise.
We will most likely never return to this hotel.
but I walk past them and I can’t choose anything for myself, I was waiting for something like that, but I got a local market under the window)))) Watermelons are very tasty, they were taken all the time, I took a melon a couple of times and never finished it. Melon is always terrible, any color and any day, do not eat it, disgusting. Pancakes are delicious for the first time, especially poured with chocolate (it seems they make it themselves, very tasty and satisfying), the second time it’s not very good, I didn’t take them anymore. Sesame bagels - see pancakes - the same song. And there is nothing more for breakfast)))))) the sausage is terrible, the cheeses are disgusting even in appearance, all soft varieties, not one type of mozzarella or dorblu, of course, and not even close. Haven't tried this crap. Greens are always fresh, salads are always something that they didn’t eat yesterday, a little diluted with new. There are dried fruits and they are delicious, I took dried apricots every day. Meat salads are rubbish. Don't take it - get poisoned. Only 2 times there were salads with shrimp - even more or less tolerable. Plus, there were almost always soups,
not always tasty, but I took it and ate it regularly - I seasoned it with spices and will go))) at 7 in the morning there are few people at breakfast - sit down wherever you want, at lunch there are no such balls, I didn’t have time to take a seat there for dinner - wait, wait until someone leaves (McDonald's smokes), this is not acceptable for such a hotel. Dinner. There seems to be meat, but it’s as if it’s not)))) turkey is in abundance, since I love it very much and always took it (as a knowledgeable person later told me, the turkey they have here is the cheapest meat and therefore it was stuffed everywhere could) eat chicken, I never took it, I can devour it at home in any quantities, of course I don’t have pork, I couldn’t write) I saw beef a couple of times, it’s delicious, but it’s necessary to stand in line, which created the effect of a factory canteen named after the Comintern))) I liked the side dishes, attention, pasta))) yes) that’s right))) I didn’t find anything more edible, french fries and rustic, thanks comrades, eat yourself))) there were plenty of grilled vegetables, but I don’t eat that.
Desserts))) delicious ones still had to be looked for)))) well, if I found them, they are, to put it mildly, sweet. You can’t just swell so much sugar even into dessert) well, you can’t))) Drinks - I’ll also insert a couple of barbs. No juices. Some powdered soda from vending machines with 150 ml cups (everything is clear here) tea was in order, but 50 ml cups (I drink tea from 550 ml))) coffee in vending machines - do not try, I beg you - milk, boiling water and instant coffee - even a coffee drink in soviet canteens is 2 orders of magnitude cooler. There are no desserts for breakfast)))) but I want them for breakfast (probably because there is simply nothing for breakfast)))))) well, in short, full minced meat) pleased so pleased))) beach cafe with pita bread, pizzas and other snacks works from 12 to 16. lunch from 12-30 to 14-30. ate until about 13-30, then in the room for half an hour, changing room, etc. You still don’t want to eat for 2-3 hours for sure.
at 16 the snack on the yarn was closed)))) at 17 I wanted to eat)))) There is only one alternative - go to the reception floor and choke on rubber cakes there))))) Snackbar in short nafig is not needed. You need to dine with soup, and not earn gastritis with snacks, as some did, who cannot live without a beach. We didn’t get into the a la carte restaurant))) they take orders from 11 to 12 on Mon, Wed, Fri. I didn’t have time - this question doesn’t rape anyone))) in front of us is one crazy woman who has been choosing a menu for herself in a la carte for more than an hour and in the end she was the only one who went there))) fat minus the hotel, well, just fat))) ala- they don’t have a map) no) Alcohol, again a separate chapter. At home I drink draft beer - after 1 glass it cuts solidly, so I can sleep for an hour and a half))) here, even making a discount on the sea, I drank 7-8 glasses and did not even feel a slight dizziness. Alcohol is not something that is diluted - there, consider water with an intoxicating smell (they asked tourists, everyone was in solidarity with us),
cocktails are also always with different tastes)))) I mean when you constantly order the same one)))) about nothing in short) nutrition seems to be everything.
Rooms, I was satisfied with the room, although at the beginning I growled terribly that the room was on the 1st floor, this turned out to be a plus even. An excellent view from the window of the hotel, pool, restaurant and the beach, in addition, if there is no elevator for a long time, you can easily walk up the stairs to the beach. The rooms themselves are very clean, new, not shabby. The bed is great, I fell asleep like a baby, although I have huge problems with sleep. Towels were changed regularly, the bar was also replenished with mineral water. There was no football on TV only, and this was during the World Cup. So I would put 5+ by the number.
Beach and pool. In order to take a normal place on the pier, I woke up at 6 in the morning, and then half was already occupied. There are especially many places near the pool (why? What's the fun in going to the sea and lying near the pool?
go to Noginsk and lie there by the pool as much as you like) climbed into the pool once - some kind of puddle with warm water. Neither mind nor heart. Whether it's the sea) from the pier, you can just perfectly see the coast, the azure sea and the blue sky. Umbrellas are good, close almost completely. This was satisfied. Beach towels - a failure with stains, then in ink, then it's still unclear what. And the spa's towel dispenser, the head of the washcloths, and the commander, over and over again, offered his services with the air of a macho terrorist doing a favor that he is talking to you.
The staff, in general, really liked it, polite, smiling, almost everyone speaks English, which pleased. Only the annoying woman from the spa was upset, every time running after you and inviting you to procedures. There are animators, they walk, they watch, the couple do, they invite you to volleyball and so on, but I’m exactly to them, they annoyed me a little with the fact that they talk to you like that,
as if we were drunk with them for a week in the nude in Ibiza hung out))) in short, no distance)
Hotel. The hotel itself is very decent, the elevators are quiet, there are 2 for each wing. Everything is in mirrors, plasmas, gilded, the ceilings are high, it looks very rich. In the basement there is a room for watching matches. There, at least lie down on chairs, there are not very many people, only when ours played it was full. The sauna is small, relative to the number of settlers. But there was always a place to sit, most often only we were there. Minus that it works until 8 pm (!!!!! ! ) what guys? Are you seriously? what to do after dinner? sauna and swimming pool would be the perfect solution. No) it closes at 8))) I didn’t even go to the gym, I didn’t come to swing, but to relax, which I advise you)))
Evening performances, maybe someone liked it, but I'm not 11 years old already, for me it is, to put it mildly, boring and dull, even when there are some cover bands. Soooo sad))) The territory of the hotel itself is small, but this is a plus,
I even got tired of walking back and forth for such a small one)))) I wouldn’t have survived even a larger territory))) in terms of composition - well, there was a hodgepodge of peoples there, at first even Russians were not enough, then they pulled themselves up, many Germans, Dutch, Poles, Slovaks, from Ukraine too. No one interfered with anyone, there were no rednecks, no conflicts were noticed either.
I completely forgot when we first arrived - we noticed a strange door in the room, which, as it turned out, led to the next room (21st century in the yard of the guys, the hotel was not built in the 90s)
Internet))) somewhere I read a review that the Internet catches even on the pier)) shchaz))) the Internet sometimes falls off in the room as it wants)))) the speed is minimal. It would be better to buy a local SIM card and use it.
As a result, there are still more minuses than pluses. Those who wanted to swim - swam, those who wanted to eat, maybe they ate buckwheat, I didn’t eat, although I basically went for this))))) I won’t recommend the hotel)))) will I come back here? For the money, definitely not! throw off 500 bucks and maybe
but I'd rather pay them more and go to a chic place.
Well, in general, something like this))
