There are almost no Russian-speaking staff, so it’s difficult if you don’t know English, and the attitude towards Russians, to put it mildly, is not very ...Will I go here again, definitely not! It is better to pay extra and take 5 *, where you and Wi-Fi are free and you don’t need to pay for a towel in the pool either !! ! And for another 6 days of staying at this hotel, the towels in the room were changed only once, the bed linen was never changed at all, the room was cleaned a couple of times!
The staff works for all 100! The workers in the restaurant are generally hard workers.
The food in the restaurant is varied, not always delicious at home) But you will not be hungry!
Rooms are normal. Cleaned daily and towels changed daily.
Beach. This is the main thing! Clean, small pebbles, the water is clean and comfortable!
Cons. The main disadvantage is one receptionist (name not remembered) who behaved impudently, ignored questions, constantly muttered about the surcharge for the best number, or the number on the first line! Sorry other receptionists who were friendly, respectful! Whoever was there will immediately recognize this ONE pimple.
And another minus. We were housed in a one-story apartment. Represent the temperature in the room!
In general, we do not mind resting there again!
A good 4 star hotel.
Check in was fast even though we arrived at the hotel at 9 am. They immediately gave bracelets and invited us to breakfast, after which they gave us the keys to the room. We paid extra for the family room $ 90 for 6 nights, there was a standard. It's worth it. 2 separate rooms, large balcony. Audibility, unfortunately, is good. The room is not new, tired in places, the same is the toilet and shower. Cleaning every day. per room +
The food is ok, not great.
Breakfasts are meager, boiled eggs every day, scrambled eggs 1 time in 7 days was, but there were local omelettes (for an amateur).
Dinner
Meat is not always 2 times out of 7 there was no meat
It is difficult to call local sausages meat.
Fish was 3 times, always not tasty.
Basically the chicken is delicious.
You won't leave hungry.
Dinner
There was always meat, mostly chicken.
Fish several times, not tasty.
The choice of food is weak, but maybe it's for the better, it's easier to choose.
Service - ok.
Didn't like that only 2 drinks per person were given out. If you want more, stand in line again.
Entertainment
Evening program, mostly for children only.
For adults, it is thanks to the vacationers themselves: Mrs. , Mr. and a couple of the hotel. Where they choose not the best, but the funny.
No other entertainment
The beach is about 10 minutes walk or less, very close.
The beach is dirty, which is a minus.
The sand is dark, the sea is just as dark because of this, it doesn’t look like the Mediterranean at all. All days at the entrance to the water there was a bunch of algae, no one cleans it.
There is a bar on the beach.
The beer is bad in it, poured into a cardboard glass. Not only beer is poured into it, everything is poured into it.
Towels are not provided for the beach, you need to bring your own.
On the beach they make and feed cakes in the morning. Delicious.
Hotel grounds + swimming pool
Here 5 * everything is green, clean, beautiful!
There is a pool bar where they serve fast food from 11: burgers, french fries, pizza, salads. It seems that it works from 11 until it runs out, but the food ends by 12.30
There is a mini club.
It has paid services, specify immediately what is paid and what is not.
Would you still go? No. But only because of the sea and the beach.
1. We (I, my wife and a six-year-old daughter) flew with TEZ, Tatarstan Airlines. People, do not mess with this airline under any circumstances! Transfer from the airport to the hotel without questions, everything is fine.
2. Check-in is also good, they settled early in the morning without any questions. And 20 dollars in the passport allowed me to choose the number of my choice.
3. Our room was standard, on the shady side overlooking the pool. The air conditioner was rarely turned on. The room itself is clean and well maintained. Furniture, plumbing in excellent condition, LCD TV 32 inches BEKO, safe everything worked well.
4. Nutrition. When we arrived, there were still few people in the hotel, so there was a waiter near us in the restaurant who served drinks and cleared plates. When the hotel was full, the waiter was no longer around, they had more work to do, they even had to “catch” them, but there are no complaints about their work, well done. The food is good, everything is delicious, you can eat everything and not be afraid for the stomach. The bars are also good, you can drink and eat (beach, pool).
5. The beach is not great, but normal. By the way, the hotel is six hundred meters from the sea, but the trailer runs normally, according to the schedule. Sand, pebbles at the entrance to the sea. There were more than enough sunbeds for everyone. Mattresses on the beach for 0.5 euros, sunbeds for free, towels. Poolside mattresses, sunbeds free of charge, towels.
6. Animation in the hotel, in my opinion, is good. More of course imprisoned for family vacations. Animation team from Georgia - excellent, talented guys! Hello Ariel and Mary! Communicating with them, you feel like in a circle of friends! Each of the guys is talented in their own way. Ariel sings gorgeously, Mary imitates birds, Lasha shows tricks. Animation only in the hotel, there is no animation on the beach.
7. The service is at a high level, the staff is responsive, although only two people normally know Russian, you need a minimum knowledge of English or German or Dutch, but it is better to know Turkish.
8. Contingent: Dutch 85%, there were Norwegians and British. Of ours: there are twelve Belarusians, seven Ukrainians, six Kazakhs and Russians each, such a close-knit team. The Dutch surprised me: they are extremely passive and uninteresting boring people. Judge for yourself: two Belarusians participated in the Mister Hotel contest, one Soviet living for permanent residence in Germany and a Turk living in Holland.
9. The territory for the four is not small 13000m. Very clean and well maintained, beautiful. There are slides, they work according to the schedule, a paid restaurant, shops with not very high prices.
10. There is only one drawback, in my opinion: paid Wi-Fi (5 euros per day), which, moreover, does not work very well.
There are a lot of unfinished hotels around, but they are covered with a net and do not interfere in any way, because. no work is being done there. We were told that this was on purpose, from May to October, construction sites are frozen so as not to disturb tourists during the season. If so, then the Turks five points. Our freaks would thresh around the clock, spitting on the neighbors.
There are 6 pools there: 2 main ones, 1 with slides, 1 indoor in a hamam, and then it goes out a third to the street and 2 for children, the kids had expanse there, my youngest learned to swim and dive there. To the beach on foot 600 meters, but who does not want to go in the heat - for them from 9 to 17:30 in a circle hotel-beach-hotel every 45 minutes. runs a free trailer with a tractor-tractor. On the beach, beer and water are free from 10 to 18, there are few people, the beach is cleaned regularly, there are enough sunbeds, there is a shower (the sea is very salty), a toilet and a volleyball court. True, you need to play it in slippers, because. During the day, the sand gets very hot. The entrance to the sea is satisfactory, the sand is with pebbles, there are large pitfalls, but, having knocked on them with their feet, they studied their location two days later. In calm weather, you can watch small and medium-sized fish through the mask. They will peel you - they will bite your legs for cuts, removing dead skin, then it heals better.
Animation - great for both children and adults. During the day there are games and competitions by the pool, in the evening there are discos for everyone. The evenings also alternate, one evening - a competition for vacationers (for example, "the best couple of the hotel"), the next evening - invited artists (for example, the ensemble "Turkish Night"). The ability of the animators to explain the rules of the game consistently in 4-5 languages deserves respect.
Near the hotel there is a bazaar and a leather factory, and a little to the left towards the mosque there is a local shop where you can buy cheap coffee, tea, sweets to take home. It is better to go to the bazaar in Avsalar, where the exit works on Wednesday and Sunday until 18-00. Near the hotel there are gardens with oranges and lemons (we went to pick up a little fruit that was left from the old harvest, delicious!!! ). I advise you to go on the yacht Kral 07 on the way back to an interesting show (diving from the high rock of Alex). In general, everyone was satisfied (only my sister did not like the beach)
The road from the airport took about 2.5 hours, we arrived perfectly, the driver was just super, he did not exceed the speed limit.
Immediately after arriving at the hotel, our "adventure" began. At the reception, we were told that our rooms, unfortunately, were not available (they dumped them on the Tez tour, saying that they are reinsured and sell extra rooms). They offered for 2 families (2 adults + 2 children) according to one standard, we naturally did not agree, because we overpaid for these FAMILY. They asked to call the administrator, "big boss", as we called him, did not know Russian at all and called an interpreter. Here all 10 of us came to his office and began to explain the situation. But he very calmly explained that he could not help us in any way and that we should enter into their situation. To all this, we offered him that we would stay to sleep in his office on leather sofas. After half an hour of grinding, he offered us to settle in the standards for 2 days and get compensation for this....We got a very good compensation: 1. Use of the safe for free, 2. Massage, peeling - for everyone (and they did it very well, we thought first they will deceive and cheat), 3. A visit to a paid a la carte restaurant (we ordered the menu ourselves), 4. Bags and T-shirts as a gift with the hotel logo.
2 days have passed, we naturally no longer wanted to carry all our things and suitcases and decided to stay in our rooms.
In general, the rest was good. The sea is really not far away, about 10 minutes on foot, at a slow pace. The territory of the hotel is very well-groomed, large and beautiful. The animation let us down, we can say that it simply does not exist, only for children in the evening and then a monotonous program. Disco in the hotel only on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and in the evening adults simply have nothing to do in the hotel.
We took three excursions from the tour - a water park, a PIRATE yacht for children - JUST A SUPER PRESENTATION, and a jeep Canyon - we all really liked it and left an unforgettable impression.
My friend participated in the MISS Mermaid Club - she played just super, all the Russians were for her, but for some reason she got 2nd place (1 point was not enough). The first was taken by an Englishwoman, but then we were told that everything was bought there and the name of the winner was already known in advance.
On the eve of departure, we were called to the reception and offered to vacate the rooms at 4-30 in the morning (while we had a bus at 6-50), they referred again to a big check-in, they say we should again enter their position. Naturally, we did not agree, even for compensation.
In short, there are very few Russians in the hotel, the bulk are Germans who stupidly lie on sunbeds from morning to evening, so they are the OWNERS OF LIFE for them all, and we are like that, but you won’t fool the Russians, as they say where you sit down, you get down.
