We had a family vacation on September 7-16.2019, two adults and two children, 5 and 2 years old. The hotel contingent - 80% Russian, 10-15 percent Turks, the rest from different countries.
We went to Fethiye several times on local minibuses, a pleasant town, rented a boat there, walked along the coast. There are no complaints about the area, but there are some about the hotel. I want to warn those planning to go to this hotel, especially families with children! You can immediately scroll to the end, the main thing is written there.
However, I'll start with what I liked:
- very warm sea;
- after they voiced their wishes at the reception about the room, they got what they wanted. Away from the noise, not the first floor. Perhaps just such a number accidentally turned out to be free;
- a girl named Ekaterina, who works at the reception, generally tried to help, although without fanaticism;
- animator Valera - sincere and cheerful guy. Although we didn't animate much;

- not a lot of people, mostly families, not noisy - just what we wanted. Even a crowing rooster does not bother.
What did not like:
- you can smoke everywhere, even at the children's pool there are ashtrays and actively tar. The receptionist explained that this is normal;
- in the room the light was not on in one of the rooms, within half an hour they came, fixed it, but a couple of times during the stay it dried up again on its own;
- before the first trip to Fethiye, I decided to change 20 dollars for lira, albeit at the unfavorable rate of the hotel, so that I had a change on hand. The normal exchange rate in the city at that time was 5.5 lira per dollar, in the hotel on the plate it was written 5.27. The person at the reception happily gave me 100 lira for my 20 bucks, after which he closed the cashier. "It's 5.0, " - I thought, and asked a legitimate question, how did it happen. The dude calmly said that today's rate is 5.0, and yesterday's on the sign. I took the dollars back, but, apparently, it often rolls;
- the wife went to the spa ($ 35, they promise 30 minutes of massage and some other procedures). It turned out 10 minutes of sluggish stroking and an hour of just lying. At the same time, we saw many satisfied elderly aunts after these procedures. Perhaps the fact is that the procedure was at 19:00, the staff was just in a hurry to have dinner;
- wasps, hornets and the devil knows who else on the beach - the youngest child was bitten twice;
- very dirty beach. I've never seen anything like it;
- food. In triplets in Cyprus and Thailand, the food was tastier and better. We don't need lobster, crab and caviar but expected better taste and quality;
- alcohol. Wines of the Kuban, practically non-alcoholic beer and "strong" drinks of about 30 degrees with a persistent chemical smell.

And now the cherry on the cake: an animator named GALIB (pronounced somehow) almost drowned the youngest child (2 years old) in the pool (140 cm deep). He just walked up and threw it into the water, they did not have time to react. The wife jumped and pulled out, got off with a fright. While his superiors ran up here, they began to explain, to apologize - he merged somewhere. Before departure, we had two hours left, the hotel manager explained that the gendarmes would not come (they wanted to write a statement), we had to go to them, fill out paperwork - in general, the disruption of the departure would have been ensured. We assessed the situation and decided not to go to the police. We were sworn in at the hotel that he would be fired the next day. Still shakes, even after returning.
Thanks to the people by the pool for their support, someone took pity on the child who came up, someone offered to be a witness (thanks to Dmitry, I wrote down the number just in case). Everyone was in shock.
If someone will be in this hotel in the fall of 2019 - please write back, if possible, if this person still works there - his name is Galib like (our fellow citizens called him Garik), tall, hair in a high fleece, big belly. If it works, stay away from him yourself and hide the children! However, I really hope that the hotel management will keep its promise.
Here is such a rest. The son has already forgotten everything, but we will not forget.
