I'll try to be as brief and objective as possible : ).
Rested at the Sunlife Resort. I traveled with the tour operator TEZ TOUR.
I will say right away: when I was driving, I was warned that these are not the 5 * that can be seen in Turkey, but 4 * are normal. Since it was necessary to leave urgently (unexpected vacation : )), I had to take what was.
TezTour works perfectly and exactly like clockwork: about the change in departure time with a difference of 5 minutes (! ) I was informed additionally, met, taken, transported, etc. , hotels are served by normal and competent guides.
From the hotel impressions are contradictory.
1) The main plus is the colossal proximity to the sea (20 meters across the territory of the hotel), at the entrance to the sea you can meet stones, but on the 2nd day of rest you already know how to get around them : ).
2) No one broke into the rooms (I read somewhere in the review that they broke into the room - apparently, our tourists sometimes give reasons for such checks).
The hotel, in principle, is very quiet and calm (if drunk vacationers did not brawl: )).
3) Nothing was stolen, during the cleaning everything was put in its place (but you can take the safe - 2 USD per day). The rooms are clean and tidy. Each room has a balcony.
4) The service staff is normal. Mostly all Russian speakers (I would even say the lack of English-speaking staff). The waiters are also mostly normal and polite. And if you give them tips sometimes (which our tourists do extremely reluctantly or don't do at all), then the waiters become just darlings : ).
5) The plates were not snatched out of the hands: before picking up, they asked permission. There were mostly enough dishes: I never found the absence of plates or forks. A couple of times - there were no glasses near the drinks on the way to the beach. But the glasses were brought within a minute.
6) The choice of dishes in the restaurant is more than sufficient (although meat and fish dishes are a different story).
Although, if you are a gourmet and a big fan of variety, it is better to immediately go to another hotel. But all kinds of sweets and pastries - a lot and very tasty and varied. Moreover, with all the "dirt" that was written about in the reviews, no one suffered from an upset stomach.
7) unobtrusive animation: POOL DANCE - entertainment for everyone: the hotel wakes up to the melody of this dance, and falls asleep to the same melody. The disco is not audible, as there is a disco in the room. Charging in the pool, volleyball, darts tournaments - every day. But the animators still need to work on the evening programs. Great disco for kids every evening.
But the hotel has "nuances". I think that because of them the hotel is really a weak 4 *:
1) the air conditioning system is specific: it works according to the “1.5 hour” system: that is, it cools the air for 1.5 hours, and just drives for 1.5 hours.
In addition, this system only works when you are in the room (as in general, all electricity). Therefore, it is better to close the balcony door when entering the balcony, so as not to let in hot air.
2) The rooms are clean only once: when you move into it. During cleaning, only vacuum and fold the bedspread. During the 8 days of my stay at the hotel, they never cleaned the sink (the stains from the washed-off carcass only intensified by the end of the holiday). Towels were not changed in 8 days. Moreover, there really was a need for this, since the towels simply did not dry out and by the end of the rest it was simply impossible to wipe them off - the moisture was almost not absorbed. The same with the bed (although the services were engaged). The quality of cleaning did not depend on the number of tips. It is useless to say something at the reception. They will listen to you, write down the application in the journal and make ends meet. The telephone in the room did not work for many in the hotel. Nobody makes them.
3) the beach area is small, so you have to lie close to your neighbor by 11 am. Beach towels are not a fountain (I advise you to take your own), they are issued according to the deposit system ($ 10). If you are going to travel with children, then look for something else: you will not find any slides, water parks or anything like that there. There is no independent entertainment for children, a playground on the territory of the hotel. It is forbidden to take out drinks to the beach area, and not just call the waiter and ask them to bring you water.
4) in the main restaurant there is no variety of meat dishes: chicken 5 days out of 8 (stewed, in breadcrumbs, shawarma, with peas), 1 time fish, 2 times lamb. That's it. All pickles have the taste and smell of sour vegetables (but this is more likely not a problem of the hotel, but of the national cuisine). Ice cream - once, there is no fish restaurant on site and fish is not included in the menu.
5) with elevators, the question still remains open: service elevators did not always work, and the main ones drive slowly and often break down.
6) excursions with hotel guides are 2 times more expensive than across the road from local tour agencies. But you are less likely to be forgotten somewhere in Pammukale if you go on an excursion from the Tour Operator. Although, hoping that you will learn something interesting is unreasonable. Local guides believe that talking about the ancient era and its surviving monuments is unnecessary details for anyone. After all, it’s better to bring people to the “textile center” for about an hour, and then to a dozen more shops and tell how Russians know how to drink and hangover (it seems like we don’t know this! ), And how Russians in Turkey mock the Germans on May 9 .
Since the main contingent in the hotel is Russians, less Ukrainians, Belarusians, even less often Germans and Turks, then the atmosphere is appropriate. Judge for yourself: 7.
03 in the morning, breakfast, the restaurant has just opened, the first vacationers enter and instead of saying “Good morning” to the cooks and waiters, you hear a loud: “What the hell are they doing today - they haven’t even put out all the buns yet! ? ". That's it.
In any case: I wish you all a pleasant holiday!! !
