So, everything is in order. The move in did not go very smoothly. We booked a bungalow prudently for three adults (despite the fact that we could save money and buy a tour for two adults and a child). My son is 16 years old, a tall boy, this was the main question. The travel agency, at our request, wrote a letter stating that it is extremely important to provide a room with one large double bed and one small (not a sofa). We received a response that they would forward the request to the guest relations department. What was our surprise when we were settled in a small room with two single beds and a sofa pushed together!!!
When asked to change the room or provide a single bed, we received a response that the hotel was very busy and could not change the room, and provided a cot 2 cm longer than the unfolded sofa and occupying the remaining free space in the room. In the end, we had to stay in this room and put a chair under our feet so that they did not hang down. In fact, this is a room for two, but in no case for three. That's for sure.
And this is a five-star hotel!
Of course, no one offered to refund the difference in cost, or to replace the number later. The missing slippers and bathrobe were barely asked to bring to the room, which once again confirms that the room is for two. Mini bar. His hotel replenishes once at the time of check-in! And that's it!! ! Then only 1.5 liters. a bottle of water a day for three. The rest? Think the guests themselves. Of course, you can bring drinks from the bars to your room, but why is that?
After all, this is not 3, not 4, but 5 * and ultra all inclusive. We had to take care of it ourselves. Nutrition. Just enough and varied at the beginning of lunch or dinner. If you linger and come closer to the end, then no one will provide you with the choice of dishes that was originally. There are a lot of people in one as well as in the second and third restaurants. Output? We run to the opening and only so.
Bars. There is a choice of drinks, but everything is somehow cooked economically, chtoli? Mojito without mint and syrup, only lemon and water. Lemonade sour on melted water. The beer is diluted. Coffee is tasteless, except that Turkish coffee is recommended. Didn't find anything worthwhile.
Beach. It's the end of the season and the sun loungers are not so full, and the water is a little greenish. We decided to go to the pebble beach, it's cleaner there.
Cleaning. Cleaned daily, but after dinner and regularly during the holidays. I spilled some cream in the bathroom, at first I wanted to clean it up, but later I decided to check the maid. As a result, in four days a small drip on the tile dried up and was not removed. That is, they clean superficially. You can find an ant in the bed more than once !!!
The hotel area is very large and beautiful. The hotel is located in an attractive location, but this is not the merit of the staff.
I draw a conclusion. The hotel does not improve the level of service from year to year, but vice versa.
Alas. But in three or four years, if it stays like this, I don't want to come back here again. It's a pity!! ! We used to love it here! Draw your own conclusions.
One of the largest areas among the resorts of this region. Half of the territory on the private peninsula of the bay of the city of Fethiye. The whole territory is covered with pine forest, the vegetation is lush and wild. There are height differences, stairs, there is a funicular to the most remote buildings. 3 slides directly from the sea, games room. A road train runs through the territory. Internet throughout the territory and rooms for free.
Beach.
Down the stairs to the beach. Private uninterrupted beach 2 km in a closed bay without waves. Along the peninsula there is a continuous stretch of beach with a limited number of sunbeds with light pebbles and a platform. Wide beach with fine pressed sand and gradual entry. Along the entire perimeter of the beach, the water is not transparent marsh color.
Nutrition.
In addition to the minimum set of dishes for all inclusive, standard for all hotels (egg breakfast, pancakes, raw and boiled vegetables, herbs, sausages), there were also:
? for breakfast - cheeses (roquefort, cheddar, emmental, gouda, goat, fat-free), watermelon, melon, fresh juices from the press.
? for dinner - salted and fried salmon, fried mackerel, grilled duck, grilled vegetables, shrimp salad, watermelon, melon, strawberries, baklava.
Wine can be taken by decanters, there are no queues for dishes. All the dishes are in excess, there was enough for everyone without restrictions. Imported drinks for extra charge.
Rooms.
The hotel has several types of rooms of different sizes. Club rooms can be very compact in size, an extra bed is a small sofa bed in a bay window, without balconies. Opening windows with mosquito nets.
The food is quite... written a lot by others!
We lived in the main building - here the rooms are a little more expensive than the villas! Although it was not very clear to me right away. Then they explained - a fresh renovation. The rooms are small. Cleaning - no complaints. There is an ironing room in the building. Bathrobe, slippers in the room... (no s/u).
The main restaurant is not in the main building. Tusa is not here either! The beach near the building is the dirtiest, but there is an elevator, and unlike a bungalow (where you need to climb stairs almost everywhere to get there, and if you are with kids and strollers... ) a train goes around the territory, but again, not all over. And only one. There are bungalows that are very far and high - go there, and then go up the escalator. But the view there is incredible. But if you decide on a bungalow, I think you need to ask (if with children) next to the mini-club - the Dolphin beach is immediately close; if you are not afraid of noise - in the area of the amphitheater or next to the statue of Poseidon and towards the mini-club (this is where the whole party goes: pool, animation... )
Children's animation: no Russian speakers. But the child was left for 5 years.
A boat runs from the hotel in Fethiye at a time of 30 lira per adult back and forth. Until 19:00. Although I didn't understand it. The price is high, as in my opinion, it is also impossible to buy one way. Oh, the hotel could go broke on a free shuttle to the city or a nominal fee!
If you go for a walk in the evening, expect that back or by taxi from the hotel 40 lira (you can find it on Migros in the city for 20 lira) or there are buses to Letuniya 3 lira (they didn’t ride buses).
In the evening there is a time when you do not feed the child. You can take a plastic container with you from the restaurant... but why transfer food when you don’t know if you want to, you don’t want to. Then throw away. I had to think, to make some stocks of fruit (((there can’t be the declared level on vacation at the hotel. At the bars for children, you can keep milk and cookies or elementary fruit. Speaking of bars, there is alcohol and imported (you have to ask)
Wifi is disgusting!!! ! Somewhere it just doesn't exist!
You can close your eyes to all this and adjust if it were not for the sea itself. It is not clean, I will not say that it is dirty all the time either - know one thing this is a bay. Or rather, if you look at the map (a bay within a bay). Will be careful.
If you walk to McDonald's in the city and turn left along the embankment, you can find very good restaurants with seafood and steaks.
