My husband and I rested in Fuga from July 8 to July 18.2007. Upon arrival, we were met by a guide in Fuga (Irina). No one anywhere knows Russian at all. Communication in English. There were practically no Russians - only those who were sent to change the edge for 2-3 days. Irina helped fill out the questionnaire, issued plastic cards for paid alcohol and towels, 1 per person, briefly told what and where it was and gave a hotel map (though in English).

My husband and I rested in Fuga from July 8 to July 18.2007. Upon arrival, we were met by a guide in Fuga (Irina). No one anywhere knows Russian at all. Communication in English. There were practically no Russians - only those who were sent to change the edge for 2-3 days. Irina helped fill out the questionnaire, issued plastic cards for paid alcohol and towels, 1 per person, briefly told what and where it was and gave a hotel map (though in English). The territory of the hotel is really very large, as stated in the advertisement of 42.000 square meters. m. Everything is exactly as described on the site (see photo). According to the schedule, covered cars run inside the hotel. There are special stops with benches. Although, the drivers, passing by, they themselves ask to take me or not.
The staff is very good, friendly (except for the men at the reception). Tipping was not given to anyone. I understand that they are not spoiled there. The sea is cold 20-23 degrees. Air temperature from 37 to 40 degrees.
The pool is not heated, cool in the morning, but in any case, warmer than the sea. In every place where there are exits to their sea, there is a shower with fresh water. The water in the sea is very salty, so it is recommended to wash it off. Food in the indoor restaurant (buffet). The choice of dishes is huge.
Breakfast from 7 to 11. From hot - scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, fried tomatoes with cheese, etc. The rest - salads, fruits, sausages, cheeses, tea, coffee, juices (such as ZUKO). Fresh juice for a fee. Lunch from 12.45 to 14.30. From hot - mashed soups (like our hot mug, only sometimes real vegetables float there - we didn’t like it), meat and fish hot dishes to choose from, salads, fruits, desserts, coffee, tea. Dinner from 19 to 21.30. The same as for lunch, only without soups. The waiters during the meal always come up and ask what you will drink (cola, water, wine, beer) for free. As we managed to find out, the all inclusive includes cola drinks, fanta, water, local wine (pink, white, red) dry fortified, Ephesus beer.
The rest is like money.
For the number. We were given a 2-room suite for 2. TV without a Russian channel, telephone, safe, air conditioning in every room. There is a mini-bar - but paid (it contains cigarettes, water, beer). As for the safe, read the instructions carefully and do not confuse anything, as we did. Thank God, they didn't take money for opening the safe. Each room has a balcony. Upon arrival, of course, all things were crumpled. I had to call the guide and clarify how the ironing procedure takes place. To which she sent us to the reception. We pinned down with things (2 shirts and a dress) at the reception, the young man looked at us as if we were idiots, showing that he did not know how to iron with a cash register. Nothing special was explained and we left. It turns out that there is a form in the hallway of the room in the closet, which is filled in 3 copies. We stumbled across it by accident. It says how much it costs (ironing, laundry, dry cleaning). For three things, we were charged 8 euros at check-out.
Although, it seems, the form came out more expensive. Everything is packaged in special the bag and together with the form remains in a conspicuous place for the cleaner. They bring on the trail. day. Cleaning in the room, by the way, every day. Change of linen 1 time in 3 days.
About excursions. The guide will offer you several. For some reason, we chose Cleopatra Island (with white sand from Egypt). The tour is designed for the whole day. Everything is paid, except for lunch. Therefore, we collected water and fruits from dinner from the bar in advance. The guide painted everything for us in colors: there will be a wonderful snow-white beach where you can warm your tummy in the hot sand; beautiful white double-deck yacht, etc. Departure at 6.00 from the reception. Naturally, without breakfast - they give only dry rations for free (plum, sandwich with sausage and cheese, juice and peach). We waited for the bus until 6:30. Already wanted to call the guide. It took a very long time to get by bus until 10 o'clock in the morning on mountain roads. The driver is mad, almost flew into the rear of the car in front.
The tour is designed for Russians. Upon arrival, we were put on a river tram. In my opinion, in Moscow they are much better and newer. This tram was called "yacht" everywhere. An hour sailed to the island. There are only stones on the island, there is no vegetation. The beach is tiny, all covered with ropes. You could only watch. Because of the sand, the water looks amazing. Not deep, but cool. After a 2-hour walk around the island, we returned to the "yacht". We were fed lunch - grass (salad), pasta, incomprehensible small cutlets and watermelon. In short, it's good that they took fruit from the dining room. Then our "yacht" sailed back, making 3 stops in the coves. Of course, it's very beautiful. We were ripped off for a trip for 2 $ 90.
The next day we went to Bodrum to the market to buy souvenirs. There are a lot of windows with the offer of excursions. For comparison, Botur offers our tour for $ 26 for 2. We also gathered in the "hamam" - their Turkish bath.
We went in the evening, probably before closing. There were two. Sauna for 30 minutes first. at a temperature of about 80 degrees. For comparison, they usually steamed normally at a temperature of 115-120 degrees. Then they lead to the bath itself. The smell in it is disgusting - swampy. After this bath, it seemed that we smelled like a swamp for 2 days. Paid $70 for 2. Botur offers a sauna for $26 for 2. I didn’t like it, to be honest, well, if only a massage with aroma oil.
In general, Fugue has its own free sauna and gym. Very good ones too. All this is marked on the map of the hotel. It is a pity that we learned about them only on the 2nd week of our vacation. There is another pool in the hotel, next to the SPA. They didn't even look there. We passed by once and there was no one there. We thought it belonged to SPA. And on the map, it turns out they have their own pool, and in this you can swim calmly. Lots of shameless old women sunbathing when entering the pool without a swimsuit top.
A disgusting sight. Generally a lot of French and Germans in the hotel. But most of all by the weekend there are locals with children. To the left of the main restaurant is the Panoramic lift overlooking the sea. He walks from the pool to the reception. There are really a lot of steps in the hotel, and the hotel itself is located on a slope. So after a hearty breakfast, lunch or dinner, it is very difficult to reach the room. Most likely, for this they came up with an elevator.
The only bad thing is if you get a room next to this elevator. He walks until the evening, and on the other hand, a neighboring hotel is being built. Room numbers near the elevator start at 1000. So it makes sense to discuss this with the guide at the entrance. We lived in room number 3011 - the view is wonderful, very quiet. During the holiday, local singer Serdar Ortac performed. Concert tickets cost $100 per person. The concert itself took place on the tennis court near the reception. We did not go - we slept and practically did not hear him.
In general, there is no animation in the hotel and it is quite quiet. After 10 pm on the beach near the bar there are sometimes concerts with live music. During our stay there were 3 of them. Then until 2 am - a disco with local music. Next to the panoramic lift there are special pockets in which there are booklets (called fugazette) with a schedule of everything that is in the hotel (what and how long it works and who performs when). We only got to the a-la carta restaurant in the fish restaurant (on the beach). They are pre-registered. I didn’t like it - wine for money (tastes the same as in all inclusive). From food - salads spread on plates, small fried fish and hot halva for dessert. It’s good that we had dinner before this - we would have remained hungry. In general, the guide himself said that the hotel has one of the best restaurants in Gumbet (the main one, I mean).
It is better to enter the sea from the platform, because there are sea urchins. Be attentive and careful!! ! And don't forget to bring a first aid kit with you.
She was very helpful to us. At first, my husband had an incomprehensible allergy. Everything from neck to chest was red. They took suprastin and depanthenol ointment well. Then it’s not clear what started with my eyes - apparently conjunctivitis. We did not regret that we bought normal alcoholic drinks at Domodedovo Dute Free.
We got up every morning as for work at 6.30. Occupied normal places on the sunbeds. Later, there are usually no good places. They occupy the sea first of all, and then they apparently go to sleep. They change the covers on the sunbeds every morning, which was nice enough. The pool is open until 6 pm, as everywhere warned. Later it is filtered and you can not swim. In the evening, after sunset, no one bathes in the sea - it is wild for them. Like drinking alcohol in the morning. In general, I really liked the rest, the main thing is that there are practically no Russians. Very quiet and nice. There are few vacationers with children.
The staff is very good, friendly (except for the men at the reception). Tipping was not given to anyone. I understand that they are not spoiled there. The sea is cold 20-23 degrees. Air temperature from 37 to 40 degrees.

As we managed to find out, the all inclusive includes cola drinks, fanta, water, local wine (pink, white, red) dry fortified, Ephesus beer.
The rest is like money.
