There are no children and mothers.
I have been in two other hotels for adults, I can say with full confidence that the Boutique concept is perfect.
Check-in and check-out takes place in Crystal Family. Keep this in mind if your guide is out of the loop.
Restaurant - basic breakfast, lunch and dinner, served in the main hotel - Crystal Family. Very tasty food. Usually, in Turkish hotels, there is a lot of food, but everything becomes boring on the third day. Here, everything is cooked with love and always pleased with small delights. Like, carpaccio, or the most tender chops. And in the morning, freshly squeezed orange and grapefruit juice! For free!!!
In the Boutique itself, a good beach restaurant, open type.
Large selection of dishes and there are 5 types of burgers. Fruits, cakes and portioned ice cream in assortment, any kind of drinks, including imported and local alcohol. No queues. All attention will be only you. By the way, about the service. Exceptionally friendly staff. Smile, greet. Haven't seen this in Turkey for a long time. Even in Adam and Eve, there was a cold, indifferent attitude
In general, great respect for this to the personnel manager!
The pool is big and clean. Beds with mattresses are comfortable and pleasant. There is also a jacuzzi with a pleasant massage.
The sea and the beach - there are also enough sunbeds with mattresses and there is a little entertainment in June - to see turtle eggs. At night, turtles can be seen emerging from the sea and laying their eggs. But it's dark and it's unclear exactly when this will happen????
Entry into the sea is pebbly! Is it necessary to take special shoes?
The room is cleaned, as everywhere in Turkey. The strangest thing is that they do not replenish shampoos.
And in general, nothing is replenished. Take it with you. Or you can go to their warehouse and ask.
There are 5 or 6 Russian channels. Didn't work. We called technicians and the problem was fixed immediately.
Minibar - mineral water, iced tea, cola, fanta, sprite and Efes beer. They fill up perfectly.
The air conditioner is individual and you set the temperature as you need
Balcony with 2 chairs, a table and hangers for wet clothes.
By the way, if you carry a lot of clothes, then take light hangers with you. For trousers, there is none. I always take, all come in handy.
The area is clean and well maintained. There are no people at all. We were alone all the time both on the beach and at the pool and in the restaurant????
In a large hotel, Family, of course, there is a whole range of Turkish hotels - animation, parties, noise, movement. If you need it, then every 20 minutes (conditionally) there is a bus. Walk 550 steps or 5 minutes. It was not hot and we walked.
I don’t see the point in writing about Family Crystal, you can read the reviews of this hotel. Guests of the Boutique enjoy all the options of this hotel. One thing surprised me. I saw this for the first time - in the Family Hotel, there is a cinema! Like a real one. 7 rows of seats!
Even went to the movies????
Will we visit Crystal Boutique again? Definitely!
I won't even look for alternatives. Shock hotel!
The best of the best in my Turkey.
Check-in was standard - from 14 o'clock, but we asked at 12 and the room was already free. Until the moment of settlement, they give a bracelet and you can use everything. Moreover, the residents of Family cannot go to the Boutique (only in agreement with the administration), but the residents of the Boutique can be everywhere. Of the inconveniences during check-in, they give only 1 key to the room (ordinary metal)... They give cards for getting towels in Family (you just take it to the boutique by the pool), a coupon for 15 minutes of free massage (it says that it is valid 24 hours after check-in, but in fact, he did not present it at all, and on the 3rd day he only began to do massage). The boutique is a series of two-story houses with 4 rooms with separate entrances, each room has a balcony, a mini-bar (beer, soft drinks, water), a shower, slippers, a hairdryer, a kettle, tea and coffee bags, also instant in bags. No bathrobes, no iron either. What upset - in the rooms quite a noticeable smell of sewerage!! ! And not only with us, with friends too, apparently this is a massive problem . . I don’t know on the 1st floors only or on the 2nd too . . I would now take a room on the 2nd floor, it’s more comfortable to sit on the balcony, no one does not walk next to you.
The room itself is medium in size, there is a wardrobe with hangers, bedside tables, a table, a double bed, 2 chairs on the balcony, a free safe. The hotel was built in 2018 but doesn't look like it. The furniture is already shabby, bed linen with holes, the air conditioner is all black from mold inside. Yes, and it is clear that they did repairs in haste, tyap-blunder, the seams are not neat in the bathroom, some smudges from paint, sealant, etc. 2 lamps did not work - they fixed it 2 days after the appeal, the air conditioner broke down - they fixed it the same day, the door to the shower stall creaked terribly - they replaced it the next day (although the design of such a door that water flows strongly from under it to the floor, you have to put always a towel, then hang it to dry)! The rooms are not stuffy even without air conditioning. I didn’t like the quality of the room cleaning (and it doesn’t matter if you put a tip or not, it doesn’t affect anything), the linen is changed 1 time per week, the bed is made and the floor in the bathroom is wiped with a rag. They don’t replenish toilet paper themselves, I had to remind you 2 times, and no swans from towels and other luxury for you.
What I liked is the lack of crowds, queues, etc. , half-empty sunbeds by the sea, a lot of places by the pool, a lot of free towels, there are no queues at the bar. In the bar, more than 10 cocktails are made, there are separate beer, whiskey, rum, cognac, wine, etc. , there is ice cream, soda. A snack bar is open several hours a day - french fries, salads, chicken wings, but you can order pizza, shawarma, hamburger, cheeseburger for free from the bartender. I was upset by the cheeseburger - there was such a thick slice of ordinary cheese that was not even melted... In general, I recommend eating in Family. The main restaurant has a huge selection of dishes, the quality is also good. There is always fish, meat, eggs, pastries, very sweet watermelons and melons, delicious black tea from teapots. Very tasty grilled dishes, and there are a lot of them. There are also for dieters - boiled vegetables, boiled meat, beans, etc. The only thing missing was porridge. Of the minuses, a very meager bar, there is always no whiskey, brandy, rum, or everything at once. There is always only beer, wine and vodka. By the way, vodka is good (it’s clear why they don’t keep it in the refrigerator, but pour it warm and throw ice cubes), but brandy and whiskey are with an anise flavor... But the beer is surprisingly tasty, not usual for Turkey. And do not take salty dishes there - they are just very salty, you can’t take them in your mouth (and olives and cucumbers and cheese) In general, for food, a solid four with a plus!
For SPA, I recommend taking some massages, you can negotiate the price if you take more than 1 session, for example, hourly massages cost me $ 40 instead of 60 €. I got to different masseuses (they are from Bali), my recommendation is Patni, she is simply a professional! Separately, I want to say about the Internet - it is both in the room and on the territory of both the Boutique and Family, but it is somehow unstable, it constantly falls off, especially when moving, and does not reach the beach, it is not in the SPA. In general, talking with video on WhatsApp is permissible, it may not work, only audio.
Now about the sea, the pool and the beach: entering the sea on pebbles, not large, but out of habit, it can be painful without slippers. The entry is quite steep, after 3 meters you already have to swim. It can be difficult to get out when there is a strong wave (and this is after lunch, since it is usually calm in the morning), the legs fall into a layer of washed stones. The beach is quite clean, first sand, pebbles closer to the water. Comfortable beds with mattresses, tables, bins, awnings. The pool is good, medium size, usually no more than 5 people bathe. Depth is 135 cm everywhere. There is a jacuzzi bath nearby.
And no animation at all in the hotel)) In general, the conclusion is the Hotel for a relaxing beach holiday, a good concept. And if you choose a better room, do not pay attention to minor flaws, and enjoy the sea, sun and cuisine, then the rest will be good and of high quality. The hotel is worth the money. But whether I want to come back here again is an open question. . .
Minuses:
there is no normal navigation: everyone learned from the guests and the mode of operation, and where, what, and how. There are practically no Russian-speaking staff:
They gave a disgusting room: smell, mold on the doors, less than a meter from the pillow to the toilet room, a shower cabin 1 square meter and the door opens inward, if you are a little larger than average, it is impossible to enter. In order to change the number, I had to go to the main building twice, since in the boutique there is no one to turn to at all with anything: the staff is only a janitor, a waiter and a lifeguard.
Each trip to the main building is in the heat along a wretched path between hotels, where garbage trucks and other diesel heavy vehicles drive endlessly 400 meters, not 2 minutes. We learned from the guests that you can ask to send a bus for you, but you have to wait for it every time, which is very inconvenient
The beach is a disaster. Sharp pebbles, dirty sand. The boardwalk ends at the rescue booth, and 15-18 meters you need to break your legs on your own, there is no pier or railing. And the entrance is pebbles and a very steep descent, so that after 2 meters there is no bottom, and you just roll down the pebbles there, like from a hill. And it is simply impossible for a woman to climb a hill from the water. Therefore, not many people swim in the sea, everyone tosses and turns and clings to the pool. To the complaints of tourists, they offer the main building with a normal entrance to the water, but the question arises: why did we buy a “quiet” hotel “without children and parties”, and in order to swim in the sea, eat normally, solve elementary issues should be 5 times a day walk to the main building. Yes, yes: food here is only snacks, only cocktails, tea and eggs are prepared on the spot, everything else is the main building
The food in the main building is a normal 4, not a 5.
In general, I do not recommend
