Отличный отель за свои деньги! Great hotel for your money!

My wife and I choose Turkey, namely the Aegean coast, since the resorts there are designed for Europe, and not for drunken Tagil. The service there is better, you feel like a guest, and not a "body" from which you need to cheat money))) But the prices are correspondingly higher. This time we chose Oludeniz because my wife wanted to go paragliding.
We chose the hotel for a long time, there were several options, but in terms of price-quality ratio and proximity to the sea, Karbel turned out. Naturally, we were embarrassed by the negative reviews, but we decided to take a chance, and... DID NOT REGRET!! ! I will tell right away to everyone who writes, various nonsense like "there were no yogurts for breakfast at all, there were no steaks either, and there was no three-room suite, and shrimp with seafood too... " Hello, dear, you saw WHAT you bought and WHERE did you go?? ? Maybe you need to be a little easier and understand that for such a price there will simply NOT be lobsters and pineapples with black caviar at this resort. Humble yourself, or go to Hyatts, Rixos, etc.
Let's get back to our trip. We arrived at the hotel at about 6 am, settled immediately ("hello" to all those who angrily wrote that they were "marinated" at the reception from morning to 2 pm, and only then settled). The bracelets were put on right away, the number was given in those very basements. The number was 1002. The bracelets were fabric, I saw them for the first time. The room itself is small, but quite comfortable and clean. TV and air conditioning worked. An interesting feature - the conder worked only when the balcony was closed. On TV - a bunch of channels, most Turkish, 3 Russian propaganda, 1 Ukrainian Christian and r+g. But we didn't come here to watch TV)))

Territory. It is small, but this is even a plus, since the pool and restaurant are within walking distance. There are only 2 pools (or rather, 3, but one of them is a paddling pool 40 cm deep, so it doesn’t count), but everyone was on the main pool.
Animation. I never paid attention to it, but in fact there was water polo and billiards during the day, in the evening after dinner - a children's disco and karaoke.
Food. The food was quite tolerable. I will not be like those who write "you will not stay hungry", but rather I will write in more detail. I must say right away that the staff is friendly, always imposes as much as you say, and always with a smile.
Breakfast - everything is simple there, along the wall behind the showcases are cheeses, olives, dried apricots, watermelons, vegetables. Plus a separate table with muesli. Tea-coffee is a separate permanent location. There was some other goodness. There are 2 zones, each with 4 different dishes. What was there - boiled eggs, omelets, "fried eggs", fries, onion rings, nuggets, fried sausages.
Dinner. A location along the wall is available, like at breakfast, only there are already salads and separately different vegetables. In two separate areas - always different types of meat, side dishes - potatoes, pasta, rice, steamed vegetables, different sauté ed dishes, etc.
Dinner. It's an upgrade lunch. Delicious turkey steaks, many side dishes, fish, beef with and without vegetables, plus a lot of sweets, fruits and vegetables.
SEPARATELY - salads. They were all fresh and tasty, not to be confused with Egypt)))
A snack bar is open near the pool from 12 to 16. What they give there is burgers (you collect it yourself - cutlet, bun, lettuce, pickled cucumbers, fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, etc. ), plus fries and chicken legs . In a good way, you don’t have to go to the main restaurant for lunch. And from 16.00 - everyone is given ice cream))) And not our ice cream, but their dondurma! Took 1 time - interesting, unusual and quite tasty.
The overall verdict on food is over, given the category of the hotel and the resort itself.

ALCOHOL. Efes beer is our everything))) it’s not a badyag, they pour it into plastic glasses at 0.5 each (in the evening into glass at 0.33 each), take at least 1, at least 10. Strong alcohol - whiskey stinks of bugs, it’s impossible to drink, rum is quite for itself, with cola will roll, gin - very good, if with tonic. By the way, you take a beer and travel freely with a glass throughout the hotel (and on the sunbeds by the pool too). If anything - you take it to your room, and in the morning you take out empty glasses and put them on special coasters.
SAFETY and COVID. At the entrance to the hotel, the luggage was processed, containers with a sanitizer hang everywhere, plus small tubes on every table in the pool bar area. Masks were worn only when entering shops.
INFRASTRUCTURE. The central street is full of mini-markets, shops with souvenirs and cafes. I've rated several stores that openly sell "branded" clothing. Who will be in this hotel - the cheapest market is "SOK". He is nearby. We leave the hotel - turn left (there will be a Unicorn market opposite, we don't need it), go to the other side and walk 300 meters (approximately).
PRICES. Prices are high, as the resort is designed for the British and the EU. Many street vendors list prices in pounds. There is even a sign with the pound symbol and the inscription "this is English money. " Beer in markets - from 14 liras for 0.5, on the beach (or closer to the beach) - 30-35 liras for 0.5. Cola 2.5 liters - 6.5 lira, towels - normal from 40 lira, magnets - from 5-7 lira per 1 piece, to complex purchases of type 4 for 20, etc. Paragliding - from $66. From the guide - 90, plus 30 standard price for shooting.
General verdict. Oludeniz is a paradise for paragliding fans. The sea is really blue, we have never seen anything like this before. The Blue Lagoon did not cause delight, since it is a very small fenced area for swimming, and the sun loungers are all paid, and are almost close to the sea. The rest of the beaches are ALL public, admission is free, if you want, rent sunbeds, if you want, on a towel. The sea is great! The climate is excellent, the hotel is very worthy in all respects. It is worth coming here at least once.
P. S. The price of a voucher for 7 full days for two of us cost 17 kopecks. It's worth it to anyone! Go, you won't regret it!
