I often rest in Turkey, the 3rd - in this hotel and the 1st - with known aggravating conditions.

The question was, how to evaluate if he is the 1st? With what to compare? On the other hand, no one told us: “Due to the inconvenience due to covid-19, a xx% discount is provided. ” They didn't tell me. And therefore, with ease in my soul, I evaluate without discounts.


Airlines, travel agencies do not count - only a hotel. Therefore, immediately - "here, here we are, who is Surgut ... ", and we were from Mariupol, in two pairs at 12 o'clock. We accepted according to Vitsin - "everything is decorous, noble. " We quickly filled in the binding paperwork, had lunch and, of course, hoped to immediately move in. An no. 14-00 and not a minute earlier. He did not turn to Franklin and other presidents for help. But the anger at the principle went off scale. Until they settled in and made sure that the rooms had just been prepared, the floors were still damp. The rooms were given adjacent, in the new building.
If anyone does not know, the advantage of the new building is the absence of a mosque (no matter what they say) and a queue for the elevator. I don’t remember what kind of furniture in the old one, in the new one there are no complaints. Even with a very strong desire to find fault with nothing - 5 points.

Service. I go to the room to spend the night and before dinner. Therefore, the main criterion for cleaning is that nothing was stolen and already excellent. The "+" can be attributed to the fact that it became possible to exchange towels until 18-30. I don’t even know how to attribute the prices for ironing clothes to “-” or “+”, maybe someone who is enterprising will rent a room with an iron and open a business (the cheapest socks service is 1.5 euros). The sauna remained paid (do not believe other sources that it is free), the virus did not affect this in any way. But how could he turn off the temperature sensor on the information board? And how could you get the Bistro bar to work from 21-00? Instead of earlier 14-00. In general, you still need to study it (covid).
In the meantime, it turned out that one bar closed at 17, the other at 17-30, and the entire load falls on the bar in the lobby on the 2nd floor. I guess I don't need to explain what that means. And this applies not only to alcohol, but to all drinks.


The World Health Organization has banned the use of coffee machines by itself. It’s good that I forgot to prohibit general access to refrigerators with water, and they themselves applied ice to drinks with one tweezers. And then they would sit without water, too. Drinks - standard Turkish local spill. In the lobby you can order not bad cocktails, Baileys. But in beach bars from alcohol - only wines and Tuborg beer (although it cannot be attributed to alcohol). Oh. Forgot. There is a “drink of the future”, i. e. tomorrow – AYRAN. If you stock up on them in advance in the refrigerator, then the hangover can be corrected not only with water provided by the hotel in the mini-bar of the room. Who is WHO and why can't she say "just sanitize your hands after pressing the button"?
Not in our power, but the hotel is able to solve the inconvenience (already without nit-picking). Therefore, -4 points, and then with a stretch for the politeness of the staff.

Nutrition. Of course, I did not meet the “hungry”, and you will not stay if you come. The most popular nutritional assessment, I won’t even argue here. But no frills. Fish, chicken. Both are possible, but on the 7th day it becomes difficult to choose between them. Yes, there are fruits, vegetable salads, sweets. But still, in terms of nutrition, Kahya has become an ordinary budget "5". "And there was a time ... ". And okay, there is always a queue for omelettes in all hotels at breakfast rush hour, and hanging out over various dishes and alcohol, but why can't you spill glasses of tea for future use? In general, a party to a disco begins with a restaurant. What if you are 15 minutes late? for dinner (beginning 18-30), then do not rush. Tables will be free closer to 19-45. Of course, I also met worse food, but 4-, no more.

Animation. The strong side of Kahya ...was before that, covid climbed into it too.
Reduced staff - 3 animators + DJ. What mini club? Gardens and schools are half closed. I agree with the term "unobtrusive". Yes, the female gender should be given the opportunity to say “NO” 2 times, because a decent girl should say “NO” to the first invitation. But there was aqua aerobics (until it became completely cold in the pool), they shot from a bow (although now there is only one for everyone from the previously provided 4 bows), they killed each other in a secluded place with darts. But who wanted to participate. Volleyball is probably one of the most popular games, but the impact has also affected it. The grid was lowered to 2-20. The game began to resemble “fights without rules”, and the net became rather unsafe. If in the previous recall recommended to take your ball with you, now I will say - in no case. They pierced more than one ball.


Evening program. Mini-disco - for some reason, the songs are all in German, with 90% of Russian-speaking tourists.
For adults, there was more time for a disco until 0 o'clock at the Bistro bar, but after - "ales", the nightclub is closed, probably the same WHO, it was not banned at the Bistro bar. And it bothered a lot of people. Although I was on the balcony in the lobby, I could hardly distinguish what was playing. They were not bad off, although the DJ could have diversified the repertoire.

Eventually. Of course, the sun and the sea, the main advantages of rest, have not disappeared anywhere. I don’t write about the shortcomings of the sea, I think they are included in the price discount. But for the first time I left without the desire to extend the ticket for a few days. I refrain from recommending. Count "+" and "-" yourself. Who is more suitable.

P. S. The review is definitely not paid. Because I don't know who should pay me.
