This hotel was chosen as usual, based on reviews on Turpravda. And the reviews were surprisingly positive. The most interesting thing is that if you climb into the reviews about Timo 2 years ago, you will not see such euphoria. It turns out that the hotel has tried over the past year, judging by the reviews, but a worm started up and the potential of the hotel moved out at the end. Where is the guarantee that this will not happen again?
Timo 5* until some time it was Ottimo 4*, anyone can check. Google Ottimo or Ottimo. In the pictures you can immediately see the blue edging on the facade.
What changed? Could be the owner. Well, the number of stars. Now instead of “O T T I M O” we read “O Tel T I M O” above the entrance. Among the photographs of vacationers, you will also find one with a name, but no one notices this. The building is beautiful, the rooms are standard, it is difficult to complain about the kitchen. The sea is more difficult. Let's forget about the pipes flowing into the sea, it's everywhere, but with a slight wave, the transparency of the water worsens.
All pitfalls become invisible and pose a serious danger to the legs. But you can come to terms with this. But what is wrong? We are watching. The hotel has 90 percent guests from the depths of the Russian Federation. Therefore, bartenders are in no hurry to part with alcohol, and therefore those who wish will have to go often to the bar. It's only for the good. From strong - vodka or gin and whiskey diluted with vodka, but this is normal vodka, no complaints. Beer - ok. Dry wines - approx. So what's wrong anyway? We are looking at October 2011, the air during the day is up to +25, the water in the sea is up to +22, in the hotel the load is about 50% of which almost all are Russians and EVERYTHING IS OFF! It is clear that EVERYTHING is loudly said, but: the water in the indoor and children's pools is +17... 18. You can't drive a child into a paddling pool. Sauna and hammam will not be turned on if the massage therapists did not have paying clients. Hill without water. There is no disco. Mattresses from sun loungers are not removed at night, so if it rained at night they are soaked with water and cold,
the tennis table is in a constant puddle from climate technology, and the net is broken, there is a gym, but the simulators are turned off or do not work. Please note that all of the above is already included in the price of your tour. The culmination of everything is the hotel guide Irina, who stays diligently in the hotel all day and contemptuously turns her head away when meeting tourists who did not want to give her dollars. At the same time, she convinces all new arrivals that the rate of the lira is 1.5 per dollar (instead of the real 1.8), and the phone card should cost 4 dollars in the hotel (instead of 4 lira as in Konakli) and that the Turks will deceive you at every step and vparyat bullshit, of course, except for those stores, which she sends and those tours that she will sell you. But with this, everything is clear, this is her award. Another sad thing. She does not represent your interests in front of the hotel, but her own and the hotel's interests in front of you. She convincingly tells you
that at the end of the season, EVERYTHING should be turned OFF, not ON, that even that unfortunate and only bottle of fresh water will not be put in your bar fridge until you demand it yourself, that there is a fine of 50 dollars for losing your room key, and that's right that if you accidentally closed the room with the key inside, then you will have to listen to the long moralizing of the concierge (they know Russian) before the room is opened to you, that visiting the sauna is only through a massage paid for by her, that when leaving after 12 days you must check in before 12 and lose the right to a restaurant and a bar, so you should sneak a supply of food and water in a timely manner, and that those who have kids with them will be the winners, because if you do not have time to create a supply of food, then your child will bring you bread from the restaurant, since only children are left with the rights of a guest (remember that in Turkey they are severely persecuted for theft, but you will certainly be given a discount,
considering who you are) and all in the same vein. And what is surprising is that all the Russians who arrived listen with open mouths to these teachings and are ready to shush anyone who does not agree with the established regime, like: “Who is outraged there? Ukraine? You have become capricious, Ukraine. Rejoice at the sea and obey the adults, and if you don't like it, why did you come here? ". Iron arguments! It is only later, after a few days, they come to the understanding that they somehow easily fell for all the tales of the hotel guide and somehow stupidly parted with their hard-earned money, but for what, it is not clear. Come on! We rest once a year, especially since we took them here for some reason, do not drag them back!
Read and say that nothing surprising for the end of the season. What is the answer here? Indeed the end. But not really! There are moments of happiness. So do we. Arrival of real tourists. Not from the USSR, but from Europe. In short, the case brought a group from Holland. Some retirees. They hardly drink or smoke anymore.
But here, as they say - if you don't like it, don't eat it. An interesting touch - only Dutch old women could affect the volume of musical accompaniment near the pool. The wishes of Russian-speaking ladies are ignored with vulgar smiles.
So, if you are from the cold outskirts of the Russian Federation, and you are only interested in the warm sea and normal food (the kitchen was really on top in October 2011), and you have learned to communicate only in your native Russian language, and you are used to self-discipline, and your child without problematic, and free dollars are tight in your pocket, and you are attracted to the Georgians, and you don’t care about the perfidy of the guide, and on Russian channels you are only interested in news, and you can do without climate technology, and you are ready to pay 2 dollars for washing every time beach towel, and you like to leave the hotel before 12 noon, then "TIMO" ("OTTIMO") is your hotel. Just keep in mind that the numbering of numbers starts from the road,
and the traffic there does not stop at night, so if you like traffic noise, then this is for numbers from 1 to 10. And if you like the smells of barbecue, then this is for even numbers after 30. Good luck! I wonder if this opus will benefit the hotel? In fact, there are no special complaints about the Turks. People work in good faith. Most likely, Pegasus does not delve into the details, and at the end of the season tourists come with more restrained manners and requests. As a result, the modesty of the Russian tourist allows the hotel to relax a little, and somewhere to save money. Moreover, in October there are very tasty pomegranates for 1 - 1.5 dollars per kg. Mandarins, olives. The weather is mild. Russian Tourists are quiet.
It's just that there are hotels where the tone remains higher from the constant presence of a more demanding consumer from Europe.
