Хороший отдых по хорошей цене Good stay at a good price

Rest period 13-20 August 2011.
Mass poisoning at the end of July served the hotel (or rather new tourists) in good stead. The hotel was washed, flooded with drinking water, and even Coral lowered prices for tours for a while.
The main factor in choosing a place to stay was the price. On our Black Sea, you can’t go wild at 50.000 at prices in boarding houses with meals of 2000-12000 per person per day, in a private hotel you have to run around looking for food and a place under the sun on the beach. Tickets to Tunisia began to run out and there are jellyfish, I really wanted to go to Egypt, but still it’s hot in the summer. August is the highest season, visa-free Croatia / Montenegro did not pass on the budget. There was no open visa, so the visa countries did not have time. Therefore, Turkey remained.

Basically, I can evaluate the rest based on the amount of money spent. The voucher, despite the growing dollar in those days, cost 3 adults for a week with accommodation in Family and fuel surcharges of 47 thousand. An additional point of saving was the purchase of a tour at the "discount" agency Turskidochka. Nevertheless, 7% do not lie on the road when choosing a tour on your own. And you don't have to ask, it's unpleasant for yourself and TA.
Soberly realizing that this is still 4 stars, the reviews are not very good, especially from poisoned people (and this is understandable! ), The price is budgetary - the mood for rest was “fighting”, they say the main sea and it is there, but no one from hunger for a week didn't die.
Liked the hotel. The territory is beautiful, a lot has been written about it.
The first proposed room was in the back building, I think N, on the ground floor, overlooking the wall, a neighboring hotel, partly the sea. But two-room, with three balconies on different sides. Repairs and furniture are not fresh. They offered to change it either to a non-first floor in the same building (but it was too many steps and the building was not repaired) or to a one-room large room in a decent building A, on the second floor. We chose him. There are no complaints about bed linen and towels. Ragged and gray we did not come across. Cleaning is traditional, every day was. Nobody promised a refrigerator. The safe was in the room, paid $2/day. Air conditioner individual, worked well. In general, the number for the four is very good. Plumbing is not pretentious, without marble countertops, but everything worked, flowed where it was needed. The broken toilet lid was replaced even without our requests.

Liked the beach too. There is no struggle for sunbeds-mattresses, everything is in stock. The mattresses on the beach are dirty, the pools are new. No one promised towels either. The proudly waving "Blue Flag" graced the photographs. Arriving, I looked at the site http://www. blueflag. org/Menu/Awarded+sites/2011/Northern+Hemisphere/Turkey, the hotel (oddly enough) is among 314 others in Turkey. In Russia, by the way, there are zero such beaches. On the left side of the pontoon you can swim with a mask. Again, not the Red Sea, but there are fish, even beautiful green ones. The stones make beautiful photographs. They did not have time to knock hard on the stones in the sea. The sea is clear - you can see the stones. And very warm! ! We swam in a free canoe and catamaran.
Food - not a strong point of the hotel, but it was not possible to get poisoned. Breakfasts are the same. At least the sausage / cheese varieties changed. But the watermelon is always heaps. The tables are cleared quickly, I did not see queues for the place. For food, yes, they are. First, mountains are collected, then they are thrown away. In general, you can always find something to eat.
Bottled water is plentiful and always available. Coffee/cocoa/tea machines are also available all day, which is good. Alcohol was brought from duty free. I did not like the wine at all from the hotel drink, the beer is light, you can drink it. Gin and tonic is also tolerable.
Animation is. There are few of them, but they work as best they can. In general, also 4. For the first time in my life we ​ ​ rested in a "Russian" hotel, so the evening children's program from the songs "Pinocchio", "And in Africa the mountains are so high" amused me. Straight pioneer nostalgia)) Leaving early in the morning, we saw how the animators brought a whole bus from the disco, and people of different ages.
Not about the hotel, but about the rest in general. In order not to feel like a “vegetable” at all, to dilute the “Groundhog Day” for one day, we rented a car at the hotel. Reno Simbol for 40 dollars plus insurance 15. We went to the market in the neighboring village of Avsallar, then in the afternoon to Alanya, walked there. The track is good, gasoline is expensive, under 70 rubles, in the city the roads are worse and there are fewer signs, it is not always clear who is inferior to whom. In general, I was not interested in shopping, I bought souvenirs. As an example, in a grocery store in Alanya, coffee costs 1-2 liras, I don’t remember exactly (up to 40 rubles), and in a store in front of the airport where groups are brought the same 4 euros.

In general, I rate the hotel at 4, as it is positioned. More than satisfied for the price paid. If I had paid much more, I could have criticized more, and then I would have chosen a different hotel, and most likely in another country. The number of rooms, of course, is different. But the hotel is honest, which is not promised - that is not . . Unlike the five, there are no positions for which you have to pay in the price of the tour, but in the end you don’t always use them, such as five tennis courts, minigolf, even a la carte, etc. . P. .
True, at the beginning of September, the price of a similar tour increased by 10 thousand and the hotel from the cheapest in the 4 * list became almost the same price as cheap distant Alanya fives (FIRST CLASS HOTEL), that is, we were lucky with the price.
P. S. I hope that all those who were poisoned recovered.
