In Turkey for the first time, if someone is interested in the opinion of a beginner... They brought me to the hotel at about 9 am, settled in a room at 12.00. From 10 to 11 am we were entertained by the hotel guide Kemal with different
horror stories. Scarecrow almost eviction from the hotel if we use the services of local travel agencies. What I later did, which I do not regret at all, firstly: the tour is two times cheaper, and secondly: the guide Olga from Russia, a historian with a higher education, made the tour very interesting. The hotel room left much to be desired, the hairdryer did not work, in some places the fungus on the walls, but since my son and I came to the hotel only to spend the night, these little things didn’t really upset us. They cleaned every day, but the bed was so didn't change all week. The food was not particularly varied, but everything was quite edible and in large quantities. The queue is the first 15-20 minutes, then the tables are free. I liked the animation, everyone had fun for both children and adults. Most of the staff are polite and helpful. I really liked the territory of the hotel, all in greenery, in flowers, from which an awesome aroma emanated. On the territory of 3 pools, so there was enough space for everyone. I had a good experience, my son also liked it.
I want to add: If you go to Turkey with a desire to relax, you just won’t notice minor flaws. No one will take away the sea, mountains, sun and good mood from you. Yes, the beach is small, there are not enough sunbeds. But this is the trouble of all hotels 3 and 4. But there is also an urban and wild beach. To the right and left of the hotel, respectively. 10 minutes on foot, there are practically no people.

Someone spoke about the rudeness of the staff. I didn’t see Turkish boors. Very friendly people. I met and made friends with many Turks who also have Russian wives. But our tourists sometimes behave simply obscenely. Just be people. They are not slaves, they just work there. Learn at least a few phrases in Turkish. They are not required to know Russian. It was you who came to visit them. Communication will immediately become much easier and more pleasant. Next year I am going to Turkey , I'll try to get to Beltur.
Have a nice holiday everyone.
