Arrived today, while fresh impressions, I want to share.
Rested from July 3.2010 four of us - daughter, son-in-law, grandson and me.
We flew from Intourist, the transfer was normal, especially back, a nice girl Dasha warned us in advance which counter to go to, where to go through passport control, and specified the departure time.
The hotel itself is a boring 4-storey building with practically no territory - you enter the main entrance, go through the hall and exit to the pool. We had 2 double rooms. My grandson and I got a room with a balcony overlooking the bar. Do not open the balcony - a roar from the speakers, a room of 6 meters.

They asked to change the room, they promised in 2 days, complained to our hotel guide from Intourist, the next day they changed the room, although they put everyone in one room with a non-working air conditioner. We twice made a complaint about the malfunction of the air conditioner, although this should have been done immediately, within 2 days the master came, filled the device with freon and life became easier. The room was not cleaned once in 2 weeks, the beds were changed once, and only on two beds that were not covered with bedspreads, and my bed was made up, they did not change the linen on it. Towels were never changed for us, for four we were given 3 large and 2 small towels. Good thing we brought our own and used ours.
Naturally, there was no hair dryer, and no toilet paper was given out.
Once they left a tip - the tip was taken away, the garbage was thrown out, but they did not clean up.
I didn’t like the food - I always smelled of some kind of sourness from salads, I took only cucumbers from vegetables, sometimes tomatoes. They didn’t give meat, chicken - in small pieces with potatoes, 3 times there were chicken legs, twice there was chicken shawarma. The son-in-law got poisoned on the very first day - we thought that he had eaten something spicy, but then we came to the conclusion that in the dining room (it’s hard to call it a restaurant) they mask stale food with spicy seasoning. Once I saw tomatoes that were sprinkled with some kind of seasoning. Why would I start sprinkling a FRESH product with something when the seasonings were in bowls and those who wished could sprinkle themselves if they wished?
Baking, with rare exceptions, did not cause a desire to taste it at all, although I like sweets. From the fruits of the first day 3 there were melons, then watermelons went, at first immature and lethargic, and in the end - ripe, though they were given out by the piece. But to tell the truth, I understand them, our compatriots collected mountains of food on plates, which were then safely thrown into the trash. Once I heard a watermelon distributor say: there will be dinner for another 2 hours, come and take it. Maybe that's why they give out the products themselves, because our tourists don't know how to behave.
We bought fruits for ourselves in a shop opposite the hotel: cherries - $ 1 per kg, peaches, apricots, apples - $ 2.

The beach is really close - across the road, the traffic on the road is not heavy. True, it was not always possible to find a free sunbed on the beach, because the smartest, apparently, resorted to breakfast, scattering their things on the sunbeds. They could come to the beach, or they might not, the same thing at the pool, though there were towels even from the night.
We traveled on excursions: on a cable car, on a jeep safari, on quads, on horseback, to a water park and a dolphinarium, on a yacht, on fishing, in Demre-Mira-Kekovo and considered if we took all these excursions from a hotel guide - would have paid $ 780, and for the same excursions at Maxwell Tour - a tour desk around the corner of the hotel on the way to the beach - 360.
And we still bought the first two excursions from the representative of Intourist. The excursion to the mountain was poorly organized, they constantly waited for someone for a long time, when we were brought to the cable car, the guide called the time of departure. We waited for the last of the group for 40 minutes! ! I understand that the organizers of excursions are not always to blame, but often I had to sit and watch how they settled something on the phone for a long time, ran somewhere, settled something.
We bought all the other excursions from Maxwell Tour and did not regret it: the buses were large and comfortable, they arrived on time, the guides spoke good Russian, I especially liked the guide who took us fishing - it seems Suleiman and Mohammed - the guide who accompanied us to Mira-Kekovo. The last tour is just amazing! Especially when you drive along a serpentine and open views of bays with clear water on one side and mountains on the other.
I think that over time, all the negativity will be forgotten, only the beauty of Turkey and the sea, sea, sea will remain in memory!
When we were driving home from the airport, I asked my three-year-old grandson what he liked most about Turkey?
The kid answered: the sea and excursions. I asked, did you like the hotel? He answered no. Truth speaks through the mouth of a child.
