Before staying at this hotel and in general in Bodrum, we considered our native Antalya coast ???? , but when we saw the photo of the hotel and the views, we definitely decided that we would go to Turkish Greece. We took vouchers for early booking, we will not do this again. Annex tour informed us a month before departure that the flight from Krasnodar in that direction was canceled and the flight would be from Rostov. Well, at least with the help of other tourists outraged, like us, they organized a free round-trip transfer to Platov Airport. Then two weeks before they said that the departure time from Rostov was changing, they moved it to the late evening, so we got to our hotel in Yalykavak at two in the morning already on the next day of the tour, that is, the day was stolen from us. So we arrived at night, there was a change of Russian-speaking Ibragim, we were settled in a family room, as indicated in the ticket. We were shocked by the number, a narrow steep staircase to the second floor, there are two rooms on different sides and a bathroom between them. One room with a double bed and a balcony, the second - two lorries and a bedside table between them. Everywhere carpet with white scorched stains from bleach. Everything in the toilet is made of metal, everything is rusty. In the morning at the reception, the same Russian speaker was asked for a better room, they gave 20 dollars. They gave the same number, but instead of carpet there was creaky parquet and there was no rust in the bathroom, but the toilet bowl moved out all the time, we informed the staff about this, but there was no reaction. For the whole week we were not given one towel, and we were three adults and one child. Wiped their own for the beach. Our gifts and tips did not help. About food: I liked everything, and the meat was grilled once, and fried fish, and lyulya. Lots of cakes and pies. We write happy. Yuppies juices, tea, coffee are available all day long. The bar took cola, beer, gin and tonic - all good. The wine is terrible. The slides didn't work, they were never ridden. In the evenings, the DJ played local songs and some danced languidly. From the hotel to the beach there is a scheduled bus, we often went on foot. The beach is not cleaned, there are few sunbeds, but there were also few who wanted to go to the beach, Europeans and Turks mostly sat by the pool. There is a house near the beach with tea, coffee, juices and bathrooms (none of the other beaches have such conditions). We walked to the center of Yalikavak, five minutes from the beach. You can buy gifts both at the market in the center, and in Bodrum itself, at the market near the station, the prices are very normal, and you can bargain. In terms of food (cookies, chocolates, nuts), the Migros supermarket is good. Do not buy gifts (textiles, treats, fur / clothing) in stores that are taken on excursions, it is expensive and there is no choice. All this can be taken in lira in the market. From the excursions: we went to Pamukkale (expensive, hot, long, nothing special) and for a walk on a pirate ship (excellent, fun, the landscapes are unreal, the sea is gorgeous, the children had fun, there was animation and a foam party). Bottom line: we regretted not choosing a hotel in Bodrum itself, we are lovers of walking and shopping, this is not in Yalikavka, but the views are simply charming!
