When we bought vouchers, we doubted for a long time about choosing a hotel, as the reviews were negative.
Arriving at the hotel, the reviews that we read earlier seemed ridiculous to us and it's great that we didn't listen to them.
Upon check-in, we were met by a man, we were immediately put on bracelets (we arrived at 06:30).
We left our things at the reception, changed our swimwear and went to the beach.
Since the area is compact and cozy, everything is within walking distance, like the beach.
About the beach: a sufficient number of sun loungers and soft mattresses, there is an entrance from the pontoon (not deep) and from the shore.
Of the minuses: bungalows on the beach are rented for extra. fee and not only to hotel guests, but also to outsiders.
We were not settled at 14:00, as in all hotels, but much earlier - at 11:30, we were pleasantly surprised.
The guys were settled, of course, in a better room (3-bed and spacious on the second floor), but we also had a good time, although the wall was a little underpainted, but there was a view of the pool and the sea, there was an exit from the balcony to the street.
About food: the food was excellent, though there was not enough seafood.
In general, the hotel is wonderful, we will come there again, it is perfect for families with children, friends or couples.
There are also many supermarkets nearby and a market where you can buy cheap.
I recommend.
Went as a family with a 6 year old. Settled in a room on the 1st floor with mold. A mold of such magnitude that it will soon become a sentient life form. She is in the bathroom and in the room, in different colors (I will add a photo). The walls are damp, the stench is simply indescribable. On the demand to change the room, the boys at the reception can do NOTHING. For any question, they are sent to the director - Mustafa, who lives here, on the territory. As a result, they changed it only the next day, and for a day we simply did not unpack things so that they stink (good rest).
Photos of rooms are not up-to-date. Everything is shabby, tattered, smelly.
Food. The food is scarce, you won't go hungry, there's nothing to choose from. 1 kind of meat for lunch or dinner, there was never fish! from fruits - ONLY watermelons, once they gave kish-mish. Not a bad selection of sweets, but that's about it.
Cleaning. There was no cleaning. At all. On the 5th day of stay, after complaining, the same Mustafa managed to catch the cackling cleaners not far from the room. They quickly changed towels and took out the trash. We were not pampered with cleaning before leaving.
From the good - during the stay, my son had a birthday, and after several reminders they baked a personal cake with candles. Thanks.
We took an excursion to Kos, Greece, not bad enough. There was a border on Turgutreis, but it was closed, you are being taken to Bodrum, and then to the island opposite the hotel.
The hotel is for a quiet holiday, quite compact. There is nowhere to go around - just go to Bodrum (by minibus 40 minutes).
I don't recommend coming here! Just trite - think about your health, the hotel is not worth the money. Bedbug without bedbugs (but for now).
Why do I draw such conclusions? Due to my professional activities I travel a lot and often stay in hotels. Therefore, I can objectively assess the quality of services provided by Camelot.
The room is damp and damp, especially in the bathroom. That's why there are chic patterns of mold, fungus and mold on the walls. Bed, pillows, mattress - all wet. It seems that the bath has not been removed since the opening of Camelot.
The sink, the toilet, the shower partition, the floor, the walls - everything is dirty, stained and shitty. The toilet lid was washed with wet wipes and disinfected with whiskey brought))) When settling in the dump did not change the package .....On the walls between the flower and the fungus organically and naturally fit smeared carcasses, which are enough. Just a mosquito net torn ....Why change it?
For two weeks the room was never cleaned, the bed was not changed. Towels were changed only after the reminder. For the whole hour maybe three or four times. Refrigerator, safe, TV, air conditioning - worked properly. It's weird)) As for the soundproofing in the room - it's just not there. If you are lucky with happy neighbors, you can forget about sleep. Hear everything that happens in the neighboring rooms and on the street.
Who went to the toilet from the neighbors, who has sex - you know everything))) Whether you want it or not. There is no choice. Closed windows do not help.
Especially lucky for those who live near the laundry. Fall asleep to the noise of washing machines every day. Is this your dream on vacation? ))))
Food. We went to sea with a dream of a menu of seafood and tropical fruits ... )))) Oh, how far these dreams are from reality. In two weeks ONCE I saw fish in a plate. Of the fruits was watermelon and three times the grapes of the quiche variety. And this is the season when the market stalls are full of various fruits and vegetables. It is good that there was a local bazaar nearby, where on Thursday you could buy local delicacies. A striking contrast between the watermelon served on the table and the counter with six to seven varieties of grapes, figs, tangerines, pomegranates and all sorts of goodies. Even bananas and oranges were not given. Watermelon, and he managed to buy not sweet.
That no one wanted to take more.
Electric pole on the beach - cracked at the bottom.
In order not to fall on the sunbeds of vacationers, tied on top of a string to a nearby tree. . There will be a strong wind - no one will be lucky. Side sea and pier with sunbeds. Here is my review of Camelot.
But they gave us a room with plaster crumbling from the ceiling, with walls covered with fungus, and with a dirty sheet.
Immediately asked to change the room. We were offered another room with a surcharge, but they said that it would be free tomorrow at 12.00. They offered to come the next day at 12.00 and look at the room. We gave our consent immediately.
When the next day we came to the reception, we were told that the room was being cleaned and sent for a walk until 14.00. At 14.00, the Russian-speaking manager was not on site. The rest of the staff speaks only Turkish. Thanks to the hotel guide Anex Tura, who helped clarify the situation and it turned out that we had to come to 16.00. At 16.00 it turned out that the vacationers had extended their stay in the room until 19.00. Well, at 19.00 it was announced that they could not kick out the tourists who paid for the room, but they remember us.
In order not to spoil our holiday completely, we decided not to waste time on further showdown.
As it turned out later, the hotel is rented and the tenant has not invested anything in maintaining the hotel for several years.
So I do not recommend to go to this hotel.
Check the main thing - the safe to be working, because during our vacation two families had thefts. We had problems with the safe, there was no light in the bathroom, there was no dump in the bathroom or in the room, to which we were told at the reception that they do not have such dumps - a shock, but how is it? ! ! !!
At the expense of the safe at the reception we were also told that this can not be, that it works, for everything else that was wrong, we were also not particularly happy to listen and in no hurry to help, but it's good that not all staff there were some who were very pleasant and caring, who listened adequately and conveyed it to certain people, who finally came and did everything, and the next day even a garbage can was found.
NUTRITION - it disappointed us to say the least, the choice is really small, such as fish has never been in 10 days, meat except for dinner, sometimes for lunch, but the cutlet semi-finished product is difficult to call meat. Everything monotonous was repeated every 3 days. Now you may think that we are very picky - that's just not true, the fact is that if we paid as a hot price, there would be no complaints, we understand the price-quality, and so there is what is.
Ideally there - so it is the SEA.
Sunset is possible both from the shore and from the pontoon, the sea is extremely clean and beautiful.
Again, towels need immediate replacement, they are already torn, dirty, as well as sunbeds, mattresses - all this also needs to be replaced, because it is honestly very unpleasant and disgusting to lie on it (
Who does not care about food, accommodation, etc. such money is a lot of alternatives.
The hotel is ok. The territory is small, but cozy and beautiful.
Room - family for 4 - huge, spacious, comfortable.
Meals - oriental cuisine, a lot of spicy. there is no children's and dietary food.
Service:
The administration will listen to you carefully, but it is not a fact whether there will be a quick solution to your issue. you need to speak Turkish for 100 percent result.
Room cleaning - they offered cleaning every day and always from 13 to 15. I had to adjust - either transfer or refuse.
WHAT DID NOT LIKE:
- the Turks are always right, if there is a disagreement between the Slavs and the Turks, then the Turks are still right. They are at home. You are visiting. This hotel is 85% designed for their recreation, 15% for the Slavs. The staff fulfills their wishes first and foremost. They smile sweetly at the Slavs, they say something about you among themselves and neigh wildly;
- we had two facts of missing money from the rooms, to which the administration insists - there will be no investigation, keep everything of value in a safe. That is, the fact that there are rats in the hotel that scurry around the rooms is normal for them; There are no surveillance cameras in the corridors of residential buildings, probably on purpose.
- if your front door lock is out of order - the technical service of the hotel tries to fix it. If the lock in the toilet is broken, that's it! no chance of repair, refer to the warranty service not from the hotel. RAVE. at least take and carry tools and door latches with you.
In general, the rest left NORMAL impressions.
Rooms: Photos on the hotel website and the actual condition of the hotel vary greatly. Of course, the hotel with the photo is the same, BUT! These photos were taken right after the renovation. At the moment the rooms are not in very good condition. The paint has peeled off, the furniture is scuffed. Some rooms have fungus. In a word, it is necessary to make renovation as soon as possible. There were no cosmetics in the rooms, only soap.
Cleanliness: for the entire period of stay (and this is not a lot, not a few 8 days), cleaning and change of towels were carried out already once. Cleaning consisted of changing bedding and towels, as well as the appearance of toilet paper and water. That's all. The floor has never been washed. Bathroom also.
Food: At first glance, there is a lot of food. But this is at first glance, since quality is important, not quantity. All the masses were created by vegetables and snacks. There was really little meat. There were no fish at all for the entire period of our holiday. The dishes were delicious, but I wish they were more varied and satisfying. Sweets were enough, thanks for that. Of the fruits, only watermelon and plums. From drinks carbonated water (cola, fanta, sprite), juices like yuppies. Alcohol: beer, gin, local vodka, tonic cocktails. It was not very pleasant to watch the flies that were constantly over the food on the buffet.
Staff: this item pleased. The guys at the distribution and at the bar are very diligent and helpful. They equally treat our people and guests from Europe and Turkey.
Beach: The beach has a pontoon with comfortable steps into the water. There are not enough sun loungers and umbrellas for a number of vacationers, which made it necessary to borrow them in advance.
Territory: the hotel is a boutique, for this reason its territory is small, but cozy and well maintained. The pool is clean.
Entertainment: the animators are good, every evening there were performances, competitions, etc. I would like entertainment for children during the day. For example, some slides.
As a result, I can say that the negative aspects prevail over the positive ones. But there is some soulfulness in this hotel. I would gladly return to this hotel only if the renovation is carried out, as well as work on the menu.
