-checked in quickly
-they gave us an assistant who was supposed to keep us up to date with the hotel.
All the positives are gone.
First cons:
-the hotel is old and requires renovation, shabby walls, doors, furniture.
The renovation is not luxury or premium at all.
Nutrition:
-constant queues in the restaurant, a lot of people came for a conference and couldn’t get through. Ok, you know that you have a lot of people in the hotel, automate the work so that people don’t stand in lines for chicken, etc.
- the food itself, where there is a smell of gourmet food here I don’t understand at all (maybe not delicious sushi for dinner? )
-Alya carte restaurant, which is open 24/7, one name, you also have to stand in line to get in, the waiters are not respectful, you have to wait a long time, Caesar salad is just leaves, chicken, sauce.
-coffee is a separate pain, why can’t such a “chic and expensive” hotel have at least 1 coffee machine with a barista, there are these machines everywhere that brew disgusting coffee.
Even at Starbucks - you press a button - here's your coffee.
All hotels, even simpler ones, already have normal coffee shops.
-the pastry shop is always packed, there are no seats, when asked to bring additional chairs, they shrugged their shoulders and left. Ok, you have a full hotel, but organize it so that it is convenient and comfortable for the guests.
To summarize:
-the hotel knows how to create an impression of pomp, but when it comes to the guest, you will be disappointed
-I will never come here again, the hotel is not worth the money at all
The staff works 100%, always all friendly, help in solving any issue.
The territory is chic near the hotel, the pools are clean, no one in the hotel was sick and it pleases!
Service on the beach is another story, ordering drinks by code and in 5 minutes you have everything! ! just gorgeous!
I want to say thanks to the assistant Shakhnoza for the attentive attitude and quick resolution of all issues! Special thanks to Zuhri Getin for the most delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners, for the variety of food and drinks and beautiful presentation, for being so attentive to guests and listening to all wishes. In other hotels there is a lack of such people ((
The only thing that I didn’t really like was that there was a lot of live music (ensembles performed), I wanted more dance music (I came with two children, but everyone wants to have fun)! And you can at least sometimes do some parties during the day. This is a family hotel, not a nursing home after all )))))) Families are young and everyone wanted to have fun, even children! ! )) otherwise 10 out of 10 points!! ! Thank you Rixos for this amazing holiday! ! Will be back again 100%
We were greeted with champagne, no one was made to wait... And we are at the hotel! For those who are interested, I posted all the reports, photos and videos on my Instagram page (Svetlana__Y), I tried to show the hotel, and not myself), start here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CKHMNIHgEea/? utm_medium=copy_link or search by date c 16/01/2021.
The Internet in the hotel is wonderful, high-speed, we talked through WhatsApp with the family without interference. Wi-fi antennas every 10 m throughout the territory. On the beach, tents are free for everyone - the advantage of winter. The beach bar has lockers with codes for gadgets, you can clean it while at sea, and you can charge it. On a cool day, and he was alone in our week +11, blankets are offered at the bar. The warmest day was +22. The people sunbathed and the brave swam, the sea was calm. On January 19, my husband also plunged, he says that the water in the sea feels like 19 degrees.
I will not write about food and drinks, everything is on top! I want to write something that I did not see in other hotels, but here it is. A modern approach to the names of dishes in a restaurant, each dish has touch screens with names in different languages, but you can also click on the screen to find out the ingredients and calorie content of the dish.
In the season of the pandemic that has bothered everyone, a very attentive approach to protective equipment, in addition to perfect cleaning, there are stands with sanitizers, masks and gloves everywhere. Wet hotel wipes, and very good quality everywhere, and in the restaurant on the tables, and in every bar, and in the rooms, as well as antibacterial gel in mini-tubes. Of course, all staff are wearing masks. Products behind glass, served to you on request.
During our stay, repairs were underway in the indoor disco, but every day guest artists performed, very incendiary, people even danced. The veranda is equipped with gas burners and has a beautiful view of the musical fountains!
For the first time in my entire stay on vacation, I saw more men than women - but because the hotel hosts football team competitions at this time. The girls were on a roll))
The territory is huge, I'm not sure that we all walked around during our days of stay!
A separate topic is a children's town, the children are watched, they are engaged from 10 am to 11 pm. There are more details in my videos on instagram, I asked the girl to tell about the nuances... And I made a video of each entertainment room... It will be interesting for children of all ages, for those who like to stick to game consoles - and it is!
The warm pool on the territory was a priority for us, it is super, the declared water temperature was 28-29 degrees for sure! All towels are individually wrapped and have no change restrictions. There are a lot of sun loungers around, there are changing rooms nearby, and it is not necessary to go in wet clothes throughout the territory. By the way, for people with limited mobility, there is an automated descent into the pool, and all the drops on the paths are adapted for trouble-free movement.
Hamam is royal! I also made a lot of videos for your review. Several different saunas, from light to hot. there is even snow-ice for contrast. All at no extra cost.
But for money you can visit the game room, where you have everything to choose from: racing, basketball, and even BOWLING. Although they wrote to me in the request that he was not in the hotel. It is located in the building where the spa. There is an overview on Instagram (Svetlana__Y)... There are many shops on the territory of the hotel.
Very beautiful French street with incomparable teas, coffees and snacks. In the Bistro-Snack bar from 12 to 17 you can dine like in a restaurant, menu by QR code on the tables, point the phone and go to the language and menu selection page. Also very convenient! In the evening, there is an A la carte restaurant in it, where they celebrated the birthday of their spouse. During the day, a beautiful bouquet was brought to the room, and in the evening a large bouquet of roses was placed on the table in the restaurant and then a cake was served with fireworks and congratulations to the entire team of the establishment. Huge thanks to everyone for this!
We bought a ticket with a flight from Moscow, it cost about 110 thousand for 7 nights, I'm sure that the price was affected by the season and the pandemic. I would love to visit there again and again!
If it works out, I'll post a video review of the winter hotel on YouTube, add the link in the comments... Have a wonderful holiday and a lot of impressions!
General information and impressions: a hotel for families, young people will be bored, there is nowhere to hang out. 90 percent of Russians have a rest... It seems that we were in Russia, not in Turkey... (the hotel is quiet, the design is respectable, it has a vacation, you understand that you are in a good hotel. Almost none of the guests wear masks (sorrow. . . But all the staff, smarties, are always and everywhere wearing masks. Weaknesses: beach furniture, cleaning the toilet on the beach (this, of course, is no good! ). We didn’t go to the gym, spa, a la carte; We don't drink alcohol, so I don't write about it.
Meeting guests, checking in, guest relations work, room: settled quickly, fill out 1 sheet in total. Luggage was brought to the room in a couple of minutes, everything is fast. Risepsh is very beautiful, you immediately understand that you are in a good hotel.
We somehow forgot a bag in a coffee shop, we came already in the evening, they helped us a lot, they found it, everything was returned. Thanks to the staff! The room was deluxe with garden view. Our room 2345 overlooked the football field and had a side view of the sea. The room was quiet, except for 1 pm, when there was noise from the stage, but not critical just do.
The room is excellent, 34 sq. m, large, chic balcony-terrace, there is a clothes dryer. Everything is convenient in the room, there is a place everywhere, everything is at hand, there are enough sockets, there is an output for usb. TV in the mirror. Mini bar full: cola, beer, water, chips, straws, drinks. Chocolates, wine, milk and juices are not included. In the room there is a set of masks, disinfectant, napkins. 2 bathrobes, a children's bathrobe and slippers were requested separately, they all brought. The bathroom is full of cosmetics, all of good quality. there are toothbrushes, nail files, a razor, etc. I really liked the bathroom itself in terms of design and convenience. The curtains are thick, the sun does not let through, the mattresses and pillows are very comfortable, we slept well. Children's sofa is large, designed for 2 children. Didn't really hear the neighbors.
Housekeeping: all days except one was good. In one day, nothing was removed, except for the bed, the garbage was not taken away, nothing was replenished. Guest relations complained - the next day the room was licked. It's nice that they responded quickly, I didn't have to remind myself.
There was an unpleasant incident when at 12 at night a cleaning lady came into our room by mistake. We reported this to the Guest Relations. Irina, the supervisor, made a request to the security service, they found everyone, they apologized to us 100 times and, as an apology, they extended our room until check-out for free. Of course, the case is unpleasant, but! The way they reacted to it and how they decided did not spoil our impressions, on the contrary, the customer relation works perfectly.
Territory: the hotel is said to be surrounded by greenery. Everything is beautiful, well-groomed, tasteful. Walk around the territory of the villas and Club Prive - it's just incredible there. Someone wrote that the territory is not well-groomed - do not believe it, all the lawns are perfect, the nature there is excellent.
Animation Entertainment: did not see them and did not hear, no one called anyone anywhere. We saw that there were sports activities, but there were no schedules and notifications. Evening shows were absent, as such. There is no information about them either. Those who are looking for a mover - not here.
Kids Club: I speak only on behalf of my child (girl 9 years old). We went 3 times, no one paid attention, only Berna told everything about the club and events. They came the next day - there were activities, but for my child everything was slow and boring. I liked the music lesson - just a delight. Girls-animators did not come to us at all, but, oddly enough, the guys lit the mini-disco cool! I don't know the names of the one who led the mini-disco and the one who danced, but they are super! They were very satisfied. There is no lunch at the club, as stated in the reviews of the hotel, the rope park was not working, there were no ballet lessons (it was stated in the advertisement).
Food: here are the questions. Of course, there is a lot of it, no one will leave hungry, but everything is meager and monotonous. For meat, there is very little choice, especially for someone who does not eat lamb. Children's table is available for lunch and dinner. Fruits are excellent: watermelons, pineapples, peaches, grapes, melons, oranges, etc. There are few cheeses, with no mold at all. Pastries are mostly very tasty, croissants are super. The pizza is delicious. Food without frills. Soups never take! It's just awful))
Service: the waiters rustle, smarties! As soon as they sat down, they immediately ran, very helpful, well done. But on the beach, where there is sand, there is no service at all, on the grass it is either there or not.
The Internet is normal, almost everywhere, it was enough for us to work and watch videos.
Beach: the weak point of the hotel. The sun loungers are old, scary, there are no normal canopies on the first line, you can’t hide from the sun. The towels are long overdue for replacement.
Snacks and coffee shop: the coffee is good, the coffee shop and patisserie on french street are very cool! Lemon cake, honey cake, cheesecakes - everything is delicious. The waiters are very smart. Snacks from 12 to 6 pm: burgers, french fries, salads, fruits, potatoes with fillings, pizza - everything is very tasty.
Land of Legends: hotel pickup 4 times a day. Do not go at 10 am, there are crowds of tourists. At 14.30 or 17.00, then at least there is a chance to ride. And so . . Queues everywhere . . The rides are cool, but the water park was half working... It was frustrating. You stand in line for 1 slide for half an hour. , Such . . But the complex itself is simply grandiose, we must pay tribute. Prices in stores horse.
Bottom line: we loved it. There is always a "human factor", he was here too. But the administration did a good job - this is important. I read so many bad reviews, I was afraid to go there. In fact, there are no such horror stories. If all of the above doesn’t scare you (it doesn’t seem like it should), then you will have a great rest.
P. S. Thank you for reading, a lot of letters)
