Hello! I want to tell you about my stay in this hotel. I’ll make a reservation right away that I can only compare with a vacation of a similar level (only without alcohol) in the Krasnodar Territory. But what is there to compare....our south is not at all the same after the trip.
We went from Pegasus, me and my girlfriend. Placed in the 2nd building (although when checking in at the reception, as expected, they put 20 bucks and asked for the 9th building). I must say right away - if you don’t want to walk around the territory and prefer a secular society - you are at 9. If you like to admire a very beautiful territory and prefer solitude - you are in other buildings. By the way, the second in this sense was perfect. Standard room, quite comfortable, beautiful view from the balcony. Shower cabin (in the ninth bath). Minus - central air conditioning. Of course, we didn’t get tired, but I can imagine what will happen in the summer heat (the air conditioner is set to a certain temperature, as soon as it reaches it, it turns off). Soap and shaving accessories take with you - there is liquid soap, shampoo, a cap and a darning set : )). Russian-speaking channels 2- First and RU-TV. Very pleased with the presence of large mirrors in the room. Cleaning is daily, bed linen is changed frequently, towels - as far as they are dirty, there were no problems. Thanks to the maids - the room always looked perfect, even without a tip (however, a couple of times they left a buck). Mini bar. When we were, the only difference between ultra and all-inclusive is its content. Everyone is entitled to 1.5 liters of drinking water per day. Ultra - pepsi, sevanap, mineral water in 2 small bottles, juice in 2 small bags. Relations with the staff were good, so the mini-bar was replenished daily. If you want to be ironed, take a travel iron with you. There these services are only in the laundry. It seems that everything is about the number.
Now further. The hotel area is small, but very picturesque. I warn you right away - a sea of ​ ​ u200bu200bcats and cats. For their haters - you are not here. Their presence did not bother me at all, even in the dining room. They are just charming, each has its own territory, for which they are downright fighting. All secular life is concentrated in the 9th building. Bars, disco, animation. Despite the fact that only locally produced drinks were free, this did not bother us. Very tasty dry white wine (somewhat reminded us of our Chardonnay), the guys mixed delicious cocktails (I recommend trying everywhere - they are completely different for each bamen). From alcohol free of charge: red wine, dry white wine, rum, vodka, gin, beer, cognac. About food. I am a very good cook myself, so I can appreciate the quality of the food. The table is very healthy. A lot of greens, vegetables, cheeses (a separate yum-yum for me, like a cheese gourmet), meat - lamb, beef, chicken, turkey, and also insanely delicious fish (grilled, another yum). There were also sweets, but I am completely indifferent to them, so I bypassed luxurious tables with them. But, judging by the reviews of those who tried it, it was very tasty. Disco - in my opinion sucks, but musical tastes are different, and if club music is played, and not rock, then many people like it....Animation is the only thing I missed. During the day, the guys are not seen and not heard, I went to water aerobics 1 time and left this disastrous thing - exercises for sixty-year-olds, no load other than the load to contemplate the beautiful young body of the animator : )). But in the evenings, it was even fun at the anime era (we looked there only on the last evening before leaving, we liked it).

Now - to the main thing. Sea. Clean, well-groomed beach, without garbage. A curious detail is the ashtrays. they were served there by large ceramic pots - you can’t say anything, the solution is aesthetically pleasing....The width of the beach is quite decent, there are a lot of sun loungers. The landscape is picturesque, on the left is a cape, a little further into the sea - a beautiful volcanic island, if it works - go there by boat, you won't regret it. The only thing - be careful with your feet, very sharp pumice. I caught a sea urchin there when I was swimming (30 bucks for calling an ambulance - a deductible, you know) : / . On the territory of 2 outdoor and 1 indoor pool (it is in building 9). There is a paddling pool (depth 30 cm). Building 9 has its own spa, even if you don’t go there to the hammam, I just recommend taking a steam bath with wet steam - beauty! And then some cold water from the tub on top.....As for the hammam - Anya from Pegasus will probably offer to go to the hammam for 25 bucks - so, if you want to feel like a member of a large human herd - go there. I did not like it - just a flow, like on a conveyor. In the hotel itself, the toad has already strangled, but they say that for 40 bucks the guys do everything very well there (go at the beginning of the rest, the peeling is hard there, but then the tan will stick).
And a separate line - about the attendants. Many thanks to all the guys, very friendly and funny. Despite the fact that you won’t find a natural Turk during the day with fire, this did not prevent you from learning Turkish a little (not a trivial greeting "merab", but also, for example, "iyi akshamlar" or "teshekur ederim"....). By the way, this is treated with respect everywhere. So do not be too lazy to download some phrase book from the Internet before the trip. Tipping (baksheesh in Turkish) is taken with pleasure, but you can do without it - for example, we did not give anything except the already mentioned 2 bucks to the maids. The relationship, as they say, is in the relationship itself. And for smokers - cigarettes are VERY expensive, so stock up on them at home (you can bring, it seems, as many as 2 blocks). Otherwise, nicotine-hungry vacationers will deplete your supply very quickly. Oh, about the composition of vacationers. There are a lot of Germans, French, but I think that during the season there will be plenty of Russian-Ukrainians and others like them. Absolutely not annoying. But just in case, refresh your meager school knowledge of the English language - in some cases, if problems arise, the attendants completely forget the rudiments of Russian. Phew, that seems to be it. Summary - a wonderful stay in a wonderful place. Recommend.
