We rested from July 24 to August 4.2019 at the Botanik Hotel & Resort, Okurcalar village. In the spring we were at the Mukarnas SPA Resort, but then we decided to go to the neighboring one, after reading a lot of positive reviews.
The flight from St. Petersburg went according to schedule with Ural Airlines.
The road to the hotel was 2 hours, taking into account the transportation of tourists to other places of residence. We were brought at about 09:00, there were practically no people at the reception, only we got off the bus, filled out a questionnaire, received bracelets and cards for towels and went to inspect the hotel itself. Upon check-in, agreed at 12:00, and so it happened. The managers are very friendly and helpful, ready to help, explain and solve any problems.
This hotel has 4 buildings: "Park", "Mimosa", "Orchid" and "Rose", the first three are located almost nearby, the last one is on the opposite side, closer to the hotel "Mukarnas". We got a room in the "Park" building, although we asked for the "Rose".
We wrote down our wishes and offered to come in a day at 11:00 to arrange the move to the Rose building. The "Park" building, for two years, was closed for repairs, respectively, and the meals for visitors took place in the main restaurant of the Delfin Platinum hotel, but since July, after the opening, the food for the vacationers of the Botanik hotel has moved to the restaurant of the "Park" building. There were negative reviews about the change of restaurants by tourists who were resting at the time of the transition period, and this slightly alarmed us, but upon arrival everything turned out to be completely different, more on that later.
The room itself is spacious, large balcony, location on the 4th floor overlooking the courtyard and the neighboring hotel (well, not the restaurant, because the smells would haunt the whole day). There were no particular problems with the room, except for a blockage in the shower room, a ridiculous homemade toilet washer drain and a non-working TV antenna.
The blockage was eliminated promptly, but apparently they had to tinker with the antenna, because within two days they did not succeed in trying to reanimate the normal image of the signal, then we don’t know because they moved to another building. In "Rose", the room was also on the 4th floor, overlooking the sea and the neighboring hotel. The building itself is new, everything is super, the balcony, however, is three times smaller than in the "Park", but this did not bother us. By number: cleaning, replenishment / loading of the mini bar - every day. The sizes are optimal for two people, 1 more child is possible, a larger number is already cramped. All engineering systems worked properly. There are 5 Russian TV channels. Any problems that arise are solved quickly and efficiently. Slippers and toiletries are provided in the room upon check-in. Bathrobes, kettles - on request, brought immediately. There are not enough outlets in the Park building, so it’s better to stock up on tees.
The territory is huge, a lot of flowers, trees and shrubs. Near many trees there are signs with names and where they were brought from. There are 8 pools, not counted, there are separately for adults and for children. The so-called relaxation pool with massage jets, located a little away from the main ones, visiting children under 15 years old is prohibited. Peace and quiet, shouting and talking loudly is prohibited. Each pool has bars with drinks and cakes, a vitamin bar with fresh juices. Gö zleme - every day from 11:00 to 16:00 at the Pool Bar, ice cream there.
We went to the sea in the morning, swam and sunbathed on the pier, until 10:00 it is quite possible to take places, although, again, our compatriots and not only tried to take places from 07:00 in the morning. There are also enough places on the beach itself. I don’t know about the main pools, there are a lot of people, in the evening from 16:00 to 18:00, we only went to relax, there are always places. At the pools, during the day, fruit and drinks are delivered.
Food - there are no words, there is enough of everything, both fried and steamed, and smoked and salted. For breakfast, freshly squeezed orange juice, the rest from the packages. Turkish brewed coffee and black tea, smoked and salted fish, pancakes, pancakes, scrambled eggs, omelettes, sausages, and so on. We had lunch at the Snack Bar on the beach - it was enough, the difference is only in fewer dishes, salads and fruits than in the main restaurant. We dined at the restaurant, where there was almost everything that your heart desires. Grill every day: barbecue, fish, chicken, lamb. To list the quantity and quality of dishes is simply not enough patience, you just need to see it for yourself. From seafood there were crayfish, langoustines, stewed shrimps, various fish. There are a huge number of fruits, the head is spinning from a variety, sometimes you don’t know what you want and how it all will fit into you. There is no excitement, everything is calm, the queues are small. Live music is played on weekdays, which is very nice.
We went to A la Carte restaurants twice, by appointment, tried Chinese and Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of the Snack Bar. Taking into account the visit, and this is 19:30-20:00, the air temperature is quite comfortable, especially since it is located almost by the beach. In general, those who are weak on food, so you don’t have to worry, they are fed from 07:00 in the morning until 02:00 at night, and, of course, snacks.
Minor problems with the Internet, not always there and not everywhere catches. According to information received from the hotel staff, new equipment has been ordered and will be installed after delivery.
SPA treatments are free (pool, sauna, Turkish bath, gym), can be used at any time, towels are provided free of charge. I also liked the hammam, everything is as usual - washing, massage, tea, time 1:40, cost 50 dollars per person.
Tourists from different parts of the world: Russians, Germans, Poles, British, Turks, Romanians, Ukrainians, Slovaks, Estonians, Lithuanians, Latvians, French, Dutch, Serbs, Moldovans, etc. You can look at the hotel occupancy statistics by nationality at the reception .
The staff is very responsive, friendly and tactful, ready to fulfill any desire of the vacationer. Many come not for the first time. Special thanks to the guest relations manager - Nella, a sweet and sensitive girl!
At 400 meters from the hotel, there is a 3-storey shopping center SOHO, where there is almost everything, a little further along the underpass, another center, they take any currency, including rubles.
On Fridays, the market comes, almost directly opposite the hotel, 200 meters, through the underpass. Lots of variety, but the quality varies.
In conclusion, I really enjoyed my vacation. We hope to return here again!
