Весна в Турции Spring in Turkey

Since I recently found out about this site, I transfer here reviews that were not written this year, but may still be relevant. Here are my impressions of the hotel in March 2009. Good hotel. Average five. The rooms are rustic, but travel agencies warn about this. First, we were settled in a room with a view of the wall (and this is in the conditions of the crisis and the availability of many free rooms in March), then, at the urgent request, the room was changed. Extra bed (extra bed) was a kind of folding bed. Again, upon urgent request, they changed it. The room has a TV, telephone, hairdryer, mini-bar (all free of charge). Shampoo, conditioner, body lotion (interestingly, there was no shower gel), sponges, shower caps were replenished daily. The food at the hotel is excellent. And it is in the main restaurant "Jasmine". Huge selection of sweets, fruits, meat dishes and pastries. Service is good. There is no point in going to a la carte restaurants. We were in Chinese, Mexican and Italian. Everything is much worse than in "Jasmine", although it should be noted that the Chinese restaurant cooks really Chinese dishes (which we saw a few months later, while in Beijing). There is an internet cafe. It was free and unlimited. There, in the Internet cafe, is the manager Natalia, who can be contacted for all questions of interest. The spa is considered one of the best. I don’t know, I haven’t tried it, because I’m striving for Egyptian-Turkish massages and hammams. Sauna is shared. Somewhat shocked completely naked German women. Since it was quite cool, we swam in the indoor pool. Carefully! The pool has underwater steps on which you can cut your legs (unfortunately, there was a precedent). There is a vitamin bar near the indoor pool. You can try a good orange juice there. The hotel has a good gym and a table tennis table. Tennis courts on site. Germans and Americans drove to the golf courses every morning. Nice bar next to the lobby bar. It serves a very good cappuccino (more like a Viennese coffee but very tasty) as well as pre-dinner snacks. The lobby bar is not bad, occasionally in the evenings there is live music. The picture is spoiled by drunken Germans (now I'm already thinking about who to be afraid of on vacation). There is a bus stop outside the hotel. From there you can go to the nearest settlement Kadriye, and from it - to Antalya. You can go to Serik, but there is nothing to do there. You can also order a car with a driver and go to Aspendos. You have to bargain with the driver, you can bring down the price from 100 to 70 dollars. I also advise you to go to Side. You can do it yourself or with a driver. Good tour in Pamukkale. Poppies in Hierapolis and the warm bliss of the Cleopatra pool in Pamukkale are incomparable. We had a guide Sezgin from Turtess, very competent, polite. He has also been a hotel guide for several hotels. So the holiday was a success.
