they called their agency, everyone corresponded for a long time, nothing helped, they answered that there were no rooms available, although for money, they moved at the same moment, on the 4th day of rest they offered to move to another hotel, to a room with 3 beds, when asked where to put 4 folding bed? We just shrugged, so we decided not to risk it and try to relax, while there was no water in our room 657, no one reacted to the request either, my husband unscrewed the shower himself, found the reason, went to change the shower head, they changed it somehow, and in the washbasin on the 4th day we accidentally met a technician in the corridor, he cleaned the filter at our request and the water began to flow well, it was possible to wash normally ...we talked with other tourists from Russia, everyone who paid extra lived comfortably ....
otherwise everything is fine in the hotel and food and leisure activities, a water park, a cool children's pool, a bus that constantly runs to the sea, everything is thought out, except for the surcharge for the room, in addition to the tour ....asked other tourists on the plane, no one in other hotels they didn’t pay extra for a standard room and everyone who was in a 5-star hotel in another hotel hears about it for the first time, so if you get together, check about the surcharge and choose another hotel
On the beach only beer and wine, and only at one point on the beach length of 3 km. The hotel has whiskey and vodka. It is impossible to drink whiskey, and vodka is poured in very small portions, a couple of grams.
After 23:00 the hotel is closed)))
The hotel is focused on the Germans. There is no animation as such. If there is something, it is in German and Turkish. Nothing to do in the evening. In the gym, the air conditioner did not work, half of the simulators were broken.
The territory is very small, in fact, these are only pools, there is no vegetation.
It is impossible to be near the pools with children, everyone around smokes. Circles for skiing from the hills are sorely lacking. The food is monotonous, I saw baklava 2 times in 12 days. After September 01, half of the dishes, from what was generally gone. Far from the sea. There is a free bus every 20 minutes, but there is no timetable as such. Grand Prestige in Side was much better.
ice cream, pizza and, of course, the sea. It is not necessary to go for lunch.
The territory is closed and guarded. On the slides, order and behavior are very strictly monitored, so you can safely let the children go unattended. There are a lot of attendants, everyone is friendly.
European-level hotel, many foreigners, but the animation is "limping". The food is varied, tasty. There are many refrigerators with water.
There is a good market and Furs and Leathers shop near the hotel, my advice is don't spend a whole day of your holiday on a trip to the city for shopping.
Here you can choose very decent things. Wine and sweets in this market are two or even three times cheaper than in the store where you will be brought on the way to the airport.
If you want to find adventure and a nightly "disco" life, this is not your hotel. For parents with children, this is a real vacation!! !
Somehow, Eftalia got into the top of the price offers =)
Of course, you can find fault with the hotel, but with the price paid, the hand does not turn =)
Let's briefly:
PROS:
- the class of the hotel dictates the quality of everything that is found there, including food and rooms; )
- good density of use of the territory
- many pools
- water park inside the hotel
- access to the chic Eftalia Island area
There is a little more here: Island is a complex of a fleet of several restaurants, a cool beach and a dozen pools. It's really a separate enclave. There is a separate kitchen, a separate disco, a separate animation ...everything is your own and everything is an order of magnitude cooler than in a hotel.
No matter which hotel you arrive at, will you still spend all your time in Eftalia Island?
and not in a hotel, and therefore it is stupid to overpay for the type of room or building in which it is located.
You can come to the island early in the morning and leave late at night.
Who wants a little more information about the island, can watch the video: https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=AvhYLw5cg6w
MINUSES:
- hotel 15 minutes from the sea
- there were not enough buns on the slides
- lousy wi-fi
- billiards, tennis and all sorts of trifles paid in ollinkusive
The room is clean, wi-fi in the room is not very-how-when, but you can correspond with relatives.
The cuisine is excellent, there were fruits, Turkish sweets, and meat dishes in stock.
There are many foreigners in the hotel, so you will not often meet your native language here. The staff is polite and unobtrusive.
We went to the beach by bus, but you can also walk for 10-15 minutes, so even more interesting. The beach is large, the water park is excellent, you can spend the whole day on the beach, as you can have a bite and a drink))) There are many pools, restaurants on the beach, everything is super!
The hotel area is also clean and well-groomed, there are also water slides, children's pools, many bars, a pastry shop, a burger bar. Everyone works here in good conscience, there are no sidelong glances or intrusiveness.
Towels are changed every day (beach), free of charge.
Near the hotel there are 2 markets with good prices.
It was nice to meet Christina at the reception - she is a person with a big kind soul and a sensitive heart! Thanks to her, our vacation became even more unforgettable and wonderful! I always like to relax in different hotels, but I would come to this one again just to see Christina and treat her with delicious chocolate! )))
So take into account my review and do not hesitate to choose a hotel!
We are not newbies in Turkey - 12-1 times - so we have seen everything, so we safely recommend this hotel!
