Нормальный отдых normal rest

We were in Turkey for the first time, before we constantly rested in Egypt. The agent immediately warned us - 4 stars in Turkey would be worse than in Egypt. We immediately tuned in, and even read the reviews. I'll start over. We arrived at the hotel for dinner. According to the experience from Egypt - they gave $ 20, we were immediately asked - how would we like to settle. We asked for a new building and not far from the pool. Since there are old buildings near the pool, we were settled in the 7th building, 2 minutes to the pools, restaurants and bars. walk. Room: normal, clean, has everything you need. Plumbing is normal, I did not see any rust or breakdowns. We lived on the 1st floor, there were no insects. Nutrition: plenty of food, everything is varied, a lot of vegetables, sweets, different jams and honey in the morning, every day there was something new from meat, I don’t know why people write that it is not there. What is the problem with food - the lack of tables in the main restaurant, this is already a management flaw. The restaurant is large, but still it cannot accept such a large number of people, because we want to eat everything at once. It’s just a pity for the work of cooks who really work, but the people are still not satisfied. For lunch we went to a bar near the beach - there was less hustle. The biggest disadvantage of the hotel is the beach. Or rather, the lack of a normal entrance to the sea, a lot of stones and boulders, it is difficult to stay on your feet. But this is also solvable. If you want to swim - either from the pier or go to the pool. And from the shore you can slowly enter carefully, but be careful. The sea water is warm and clean. The pools are also clean, the main thing is not to go there after 7 pm - the water is chlorinated. During the day there is absolutely no smell. Entertainment is enough. Bars are open until 24, there is animation, then a disco. In general, as usual in such hotels. Now about excursions. Do not take from the guides, they stupidly earn money from us. If you go left from the exit of the hotel there is a normal agency, we went to Pamukalla from them for $ 85, and the guide offered us this trip for $ 190. Moreover, they said that Odeon offers us a trip to Alanya for free, it turned out that even without Odeon they take everyone there to the leather store all day, the store owner himself provides transport. And guides in travel agencies buy these excursions and resell them to us. If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself. The territory of the hotel is large, a lot of greenery, of course, compared to Egypt, plant care is worse - there, in general, every bush is courted. The staff is not very friendly, but they do not allow themselves anything extra. In short - it's 4 stars, and for such a status there is plenty of everything. Drive boldly. There is no horror there. And I perhaps next time - to Hurghada.... Yes, go to Pamukalle - the beauty is indescribable! Have a nice holiday everyone!! !
