After this trip, I firmly nailed one thing on my nose - I will NEVER go anywhere else without first reading the reviews. We came to the agency for a specific tour, but the manager said, "Let's see if there is something on fire. " So we ended up in this hotel…
Who doesn’t like to read long reviews (I myself am one), I’ll say the main thing right away - this hotel is for a very lazy “eat and sleep” holiday, there’s nothing else to do there at all, there’s no animation there, there’s also not much to do in the village of Bitez. I strongly do not recommend this hotel! ! He does not pull on a four - this is a three, a three. Even with the downside. . .
Well, now in more detail.
Number. First we were given a room on the first floor of the second line of houses. Upon arrival, no one bothered to help bring our things, we (I, a fragile girl, and my mother) dragged the bags up steeply. The room itself was like a two-room apartment - living room, kitchen and bedroom. There was no view from the room, as the houses in front of it were all blocked. They cleaned it every other day and not very carefully - the dust, for example, was never wiped off (if someone now thinks that this is because everything was littered with things, then this is not so - the surfaces were completely free of foreign objects). In our room, the air conditioner in the living room did not work well and the shower was leaking, so we asked for it to be changed. Well, at least we were lucky with this - we were given a room on the third floor with a beautiful view of the entire bay. Everything was already working in it and nothing was leaking. I never gave money to the reception - neither at check-in, nor when changing rooms. Bedding and towels have never been changed in 12 days, although they themselves put up an announcement in the bathroom that towels are changed every other day, and bed linen twice a week. The kitchen is complete, but there are no utensils. Both rooms had air conditioning, TV and a balcony overlooking the sea. Well, the wind is constantly blowing there, so if you leave things to dry without clothespins or without tying them, they are guaranteed to be carried away, and you may not find them.
Food. In the early days it was so-so and everything was sooo spicy. Then either the chef changed, or just someone complained, but it improved. The quality of the dishes is a four, but the assortment is very scarce. It is understandable, the hotel is not large (for 100 people), but still. From fruits - watermelon, melon, apples, plums. In the second half of our stay, there were a lot more tourists, mostly Germans and Turks, and the food improved even more.
P e r c o n a l. They are friendly, but not very diligent. For the most part, young people who still have to study and study, but I did not see the desire to do this in them. In one thing, we were lucky - literally for 15 days the hotel management invited a very experienced either a waiter or a manager who trained and supervised everyone else. And, besides this, he showed an example of how to behave with guests - very polite and courteous, he cheered everyone up.
Interestingly, when we spoke phrases in Turkish (standard "thank you", "hello", etc. ), they were extremely pleased. Apparently, European tourists do not consider it necessary to try to learn Turkish.
M ore. Again, hello to the agency. We were told that the Aegean Sea is very beautiful and about 1.5 degrees cooler than the Mediterranean. In terms of beauty, there is none in Bitez. It doesn’t really look like a sea - you can’t see the open sea, since there is a bay on one side, and islands on the other. There are practically no waves, there is simply no smell of the sea... In terms of temperature, if the Mediterranean seemed even hot to us last year in mid-September, then here, I thought, it would be just right. But no, it's cold! For 10 minutes of swimming I had "goose bumps". What is most disgusting is the undercurrents. That is, you swim like nothing, and then you get under a cold shower... And there is nowhere to go... The hotel has a very bad private beach. The wooden sunbeds are ancient, the mattresses on them are also “not the first freshness”. When entering the sea up to the ankles of a mule, the beach is not cleared. If you move a little to the left to the territory of the 3S beach, then it is better there. Since it is quite shallow and the beach is sandy, it is not transparent, but muddy. You can go to other beaches, but there you either pay for the day, or buy food and / or drinks. Moreover, as they explained to us on one beach, it won’t work to buy one water and lie whole, you need to buy something else. We went to the beach behind the surf club. The beach is very cool - there is no longer sand, but a rocky bottom, so the water is clear. Very well maintained, sun loungers are new. At first it was free, but after about a week it suddenly became paid (50 lire per day per person). Why, I did not understand - they told me something about Ramadan, although it continued throughout our stay there... In general, we had a couple of days left and we went to the beach at the hotel. Its plus, however, is that there are almost no cold currents there. The hotel also has a swimming pool, 1.5 meters deep, if I'm not mistaken. It is small and the water is warm.
Entertainment. They are not there. Generally. No animation, no sports - nothing. It was just a disaster for us, because we were determined to go to all that is possible. And this is the question that I asked 15 times at the agency - “is there animation? ”. Of course, they answered that everything is there... As a result, all our entertainment consisted of daily evening promenades along the embankment. It is all strewn with restaurants - they look very pleasant. But we never visited them - all inclusive, no matter how, we didn’t even want to think about food. The only problem was that there was nowhere to just sit and sit - everything was captured by restaurants. I don't know the price though, I've never been. A few more times we visited the hammam in the neighboring village of Gumbet. We bought a hammam + massage = 30 lira (1.72 lira = 1 dollar) at Alina Tour, we liked it. In the same "Alina tour" they bought a trip on a yacht - that was just horror... There is absolutely nothing to see there. The trip was cheap ($15 per person), but they didn’t offer more expensive there (not only in Alina Tour, in other agencies too), so the yacht was small, without covering on the upper deck, and we sat down on wooden benches all day at wooden tables, which was very, very stressful. The nature there is ugly - bald islands and all... Yes, the water is clear, the bottom can be seen even if it is very deep, but how long can you look at that water? There was no entertainment on the yacht either, not even music. When I later talked to the person who sold the trip to us, he said that this is a type of walk - “lazy”, they say, there is also more fun. So you immediately stipulate this moment. From the Bodrum Peninsula it is convenient to go to Pamukkale and Ephesus. We didn't go because it was very hot (+40 +44), and my mother had problems with blood pressure, and we were afraid. But we went to Bodrum itself. The road is not long, 3.5 lira per person one way. Buses (dolmushi) run frequently and almost around the clock. They come to the very center, which is all made up of shops / restaurants / nightclubs. You can also buy various tours (quad biking, a trip to the water park, etc. ), but I don’t know anything about them. Oh yes, there is also a surfing club not far from the hotel where you can learn how to windsurf and ride a sailing catamaran.
In conclusion, I will also say that there were practically no Russian-speaking tourists there. Only in our hotel there were several families and that's it. The locals (including the hotel staff) do not speak Russian at all, but they speak English well. Learn it.
And further. Our tour was marked “TEZTUR priority” (or something like that), but when we saw our hotel, we got the impression that this is how teztour promotes illiquid…
In general, I hope I helped you with something, do not repeat my mistake.
I wrote so much, but why... Just DO NOT GO to this hotel.
