Неоднозначно Ambiguous

I admired the hotel from afar for a long time and now I decided to check it out from the inside. I took unprofitable 10 nights, but in this case, a promotional week would be enough (more on that later). Anex worked well, a short transfer and already at 7 am at the hotel. Surprised by the lack of porters and any staff. Only the lone manager Ahmed in the huge hall immediately began to settle, for which respect to the hotel
Requested a non-smoking room and higher. The building is 6 floors, gave the 5th floor 5209. It turned out to be superior, fresh, comfortable, with a large bed and two beds ala a corner sofa. We were pleased with good soapy-ryl ones, even nail clippers were included. Slippers included, bathrobe brought upon request. Balcony common terrace with partitions like a thief's dream. Wonderful view, but perfect seaviews in the first rooms. Even better was the view from a friend on the opposite side of the quietest side, but there are only standards. Cleaning is limited to changing towels and making beds. Tanga promotion doesn't work. I had to catch by the hand, teach how to vacuum and wipe the furniture.
Elevators are talking, high-speed, but not everything is so simple. Upon arrival, the hotel was amazingly empty, the elevators were pleasing (and not only them). By the end of the holiday, people arrived and the wait became a test. Crowds gather, booths are packed to capacity, elevators skip floors. But by this time, the filling was only 50% (?! )

The hotel looks chic from afar, especially at night, but inside is a completely different calico. Visually, everything is stylish and on a grand scale, competently beaten, the eye is curiously expensive. But rest is not easy... steep climbs, dangerous stairs, difficult terrain. The territory is large, but there is nowhere to roam on these eternal mountains. Also, economy lighting in the evenings is life-threatening. There is no place for pensioners here, and it is not safe for children to surf the heights. Nothing to do outside the hotel
The food ranged from good to excellent. An assortment for all times and peoples, they cook deliciously, for 10 days it has not become boring. Enjoyed the variety of soups. There was not enough proper yogurt... or cloying, or sour (packs do not count). Favorite croissants intermittently. Yoghurt croissants for breakfast are my cockroaches), so sometimes I had to limit myself to an abundance) of cheeses. In the starts came across various seafood delicacies. But with the influx of people, they were cut down, and if they started with red fish for breakfast, they ended up with a shortage of it for dinner. There was enough Seafood, in principle, there were only shrimp. An abundance of meat dishes, but a friend missed a steak, or at least a human piece of meat. Desserts, fruits in abundance (only cherries were squeezed). Beautifully served honey in combs. Good bottled white and rosé wine. Different varieties at different points, it is necessary to test.
The contingent is extremely diverse. Each creature has a pair (s) It is impossible to single out some kind of nation. Surprised by the abundance of dialects of Eastern Europe. We guessed the trip during Ramadan, so there were no locals at all. Few children, almost no elderly. The hotel is youthful in all respects. At the beginning of the check-in, out of 500 rooms, only 100 were occupied... rare luck. The week of rest was just phenomenal in every way. And by the end, the people knocked down and everything fell down... then I regretted that I had not limited myself to the promotional week
The staff is well-trained... in some places At the counter there are pleasant helpful managers, although they speak little English. There is no pharmacy in the hotel and nearby, they immediately volunteered to help and an hour later they brought medicines with a check directly to the beach. The restaurant has a lot of familiar staff, they moved from La Blanche Resort for the chef. Found out, pampered. But still, the waiters work half-handed, slow and slow with rare exceptions. Young people on roller skates in the snack cope excellently and quickly, delivering orders to the bassists. I still remember the moment of departure. I called a porter, strongly doubting that someone would pick up the suitcase early in the morning. But a security guard in all regalia came with a gurney... nice shortberry)

The sea and beaches are not particularly inspiring. The main beach is blown, a pier, a ladder into the water + a lagoon for children. Defective tiny umbrellas. . . testing the head for strength and constant shadow hunting. Shameful fishing trash constantly runs along the water area, the sea is muddy, sometimes frankly dirty with heaps of nailed garbage. A friend sometimes climbed out of the sea with an armful of bags. The Aegean sea is already being killed ((Water is anomalous for this time + 23 + 24, during the day the heat is consistently over +30. In the morning it is usually calm, in the afternoon it blows and the sea is worried (local features). The small beach near the construction site is called a puddle, windless, calm lagoon but in the heat full extreme. The entrance is sandy, the right deepening. Snorkeling, a sad sight. . . the construction site buried heaps of garbage at the bottom, alarm! on the right is a plantation of hedgehogs. But a snack there is better and in general the place is heavenly. . . it will be as soon as the construction is finished
And a bunch of little things. Fresh water park with heaped slides. The spa is pretty decent. Hamam, as for a hotel on a solid four, I recommend. Ethiopian masseuses work there, pleasant in communication, seduced....ala Thai massage is an outright divorce. Wi-fi throughout the territory from good to no, at times it simply does not exist. But there are specially designated places with a good signal. Next to the hotel there is a stop, every half an hour dolmush to Bodrum. The basses are new, the salons are excellent, the drivers are pros
Finally, I will compare La Blanche Resort and La Blanche Island, Island is a fresh, monumental, sprawling hotel. The food is richer, the architecture is interesting, there are more gatherings, the Seaview rooms. Noisy hotel for fans of hanging out and mountain climbing. The resort is simpler, but the place is good, the sea is cleaner, a good promenade, compact, comfortable. A good family hotel, slightly shabby, but I want to return to it. Island is undoubtedly a worthy hotel and there is nothing to complain about (especially during a deserted holiday), but for me it is a one-time
