Не так чёрт страшен, как его малюют... =) The devil is not as scary as he is painted ... =)

So, I will try to tell you in detail about my stay at the Werola Beach Hotel during a vacation in Turkey. We went on vacation with a classmate in mid-August (I think the most fertile time to travel, because the incredible July heat has already subsided, there is no sickening stuffiness that prevents walking / shopping / discos and just sleeping peacefully) for one week, Thank God it's not more. . . The hotel itself is beautiful, I would even say stately: it is gracefully located on a hill, there is a long aquarium in the lobby, a transparent elevator that gives the “visitor” the right to admire the gorgeous sea view, a standard room, curtains, furniture… all this creates a rather pleasant First impression of this hotel. But the further, the merrier. I'll go through each one separately. Rooms: standard, with a sea view (and since the hotel is located on a hill, this view is simply magnificent), the TV shows only “Russian music box” from Russian channels and that's it. True, you can still watch the TV channels "1st" and "Russia", but this is already on TV in the hall on the 1st floor, and then if someone else does not watch it. Also one of the minuses is the lack of a refrigerator in the room! Safe, as elsewhere, paid ($ 2 per day). Cleaning is done every 1-2 days, well, in general - the room is good. I’ll add about the elevator: it closes for a very long time, and at night (at 4 o’clock), on the day of departure, it didn’t work... well, how it didn’t work, drove to our floor and that’s it, open the doors as you like, so we had to drag the suitcases down ourselves. Receptionist: this is a separate conversation... All the time an incomprehensible lady was sitting, who did not understand any language, even when we learned the number of our number in Turkish and showed with our fingers what key we needed, she still gave a piece of paper and asked to write a number... I had to make a sign with the numbers of our number... by the end of the vacation, they finally remembered us, which pleased us a little. But sometimes Russian-speaking girls appeared who answered your questions. Dining room: here the feeding definitely did not pull on 4 * - the choice is sooo small! Always rice, rice and rice, I don't remember a day when he was gone. There is no breakfast at all - eggs and fried sausage, well, cereal with milk, alone - you won’t get enough here. On the last day, they made us happy - they cooked meat for shawarma (delicious! ) So, gourmets, you definitely shouldn’t come here. . .  Waiters: very smart guys, they understand a little Russian, there are no special complaints about them, the only thing (I don’t know whose fault) is that all lunches and dinners were opened 15 minutes later than the designated time, sometimes it was annoying. Swimming pool: not very deep (max 160, somewhere like that... ). Water slides saved us from boredom. By the way, only after our numerous congresses, adults also began to ride from them, suddenly forcing children out of them. Of the games - only water polo, which is sometimes arranged by the vacationers themselves. Animation: it's stupidly not! It's sad actually. Go play volleyball at the nearby Lion Beach Hotel. Some man with a microphone was running by the pool, who sang along to the songs of Tarkan all the time, and in the evening spent something there for the children, BUT only in Turkish, the Russian children either missed their parents or sat in the room. What was left for ordinary people to do without animation, especially in the evening - just sour or go shopping. I hope that by next year at least some fun will appear. Bar: available only by the pool. From the free: tea, coffee, Cola / Fanta / Sprite, beer, terrible wine, vodka and gin. And then, on some days, something might not have happened, it just ended. On the beach - a bar PAID, and it's unfortunate. Beach: this is perhaps the main disadvantage of this hotel, along with the lack of animation. The main trouble is a terrible steep descent, which at first doesn’t seem to be frightening, but then somehow it still annoys you, because you often don’t go back and forth, from the beach to the pool. But here is a huge plus - there are always free sunbeds on the beach! The entrance to the sea is rocky. You can't break your legs, of course, but you can fall. There are showers on the beach, even two, changing rooms too. Shops: I don’t know who says that there is nowhere to go in the evening - this is not true. A 15-minute walk at a walking pace there is a magnificent market where you can find everything: from Turkish delight to calling Russia. Yes, by the way, there is a dolphinarium within a 5-minute walk, which can allow you (if you speak a little English or Turkish) to visit it for a much lower amount than the tour operator indicates. TO SUMmarize: if you have a choice, then it’s better to go to another hotel (even if it’s 3 *, the main thing is that the reviews are good), because this hotel is far from pulling 4 *. But if you still have already bought tickets here, then take more money to spend more time not at the hotel, but to go on excursions and shops - only this can somehow diversify your vacation here. And I strongly recommend that if you still go here, no more than a week, otherwise you will definitely go crazy from the monotony of food and lack of entertainment. Have a nice holiday! =)
