We stayed at the Mirada del Mar hotel for 11 days in October 2016. Tour operator "Intourist". Red Wings Airlines. Departure from Domodedovo early in the morning, return flight late in the evening. Everything is clear, without delay. There are no complaints about maintenance and the airline, thanks for the gift of the day. I would like to note that the Tu-204 turned out to be more convenient than the Airbus in terms of the distance between the seats. Even a person with a decent height in Tu-shka will not rest his feet on the chair in front. We were pleased with the food on board. Already last year we encountered a flight with a snack in economy mode. In this regard, Red Wings continues to take care of its passengers. Everything is as before: cold snacks, and quite decent hot, and tea and coffee. Unless juices have disappeared from the range of soft drinks. Otherwise, grand merci to the Red Wings.
Now about the hotel. We arrived a little later than 11. We immediately received the keys to the room on the fifth floor of the main building with a direct view of the (adjacent to the hotel) empty territory and the roof of the main restaurant; mountains on the right, the sea on the left, visible through the dense needles of local pines. I don’t know how many percent the hotel was full, but in October the Garden Chalet, whose building “rested” all summer, was actively settled in October. If earlier the hotel was focused mainly on tourists from the post-Soviet space, now the contingent has expanded somewhat; it is not uncommon to hear German spoken, and Turkish families also appeared. Upon check-in, they give a small brochure with a hotel plan and information necessary for recreation. After spending 5 minutes, you can have an idea of u200bu200bwhat is where.
ROOM. Quite spacious, though not huge in size with a decent balcony. There is carpet on the floor. There are the necessary little things: slippers, liquid soap, shampoo and shower gel in dispensers; cotton pads, “ear” sticks, a shower cap, a sewing kit, a sponge brush for cleaning shoes, a shoe horn, glasses, glasses, etc. There is an LCD TV on the wall, there are many Russian channels, but not all are tuned. Safe at no extra charge, minibar. In the latter, when checking in, they found ordinary, carbonated and mineral water, juice; cola and cold tea in tin cans. Subsequently, they put only a one and a half liter bottle of ordinary water. Of the pluses, I would like to note a spacious closet with a sufficient number of hangers, including trouser hangers, a floor-to-ceiling window with a sliding door to the balcony and an additional door with a mosquito net, which made it possible to sleep with an open balcony at night, enjoying the sound of the waves and the scent of pine needles. Two key cards were also a nice bonus, allowing you not to turn off the air conditioner during the absence. There is no kettle in the room, but tea and coffee, as well as something stronger, can be drunk in bars, many of which (pool bar, beach bar) are open until late or in the lobby, which is open around the clock. On alcohol, by the way, do not save. Pour on request, at least three quarters of gin to one quarter of tonic. ))
THE HOTEL TERRITORY is spacious, green, clean, well-groomed with a huge number of flowers and trees (pines predominate). Everything is very logically thought out. There are five outdoor pools, plus an indoor one with a jacuzzi in the SPA area, a football field, six tennis courts, detached villas for VIP tourists, a parking lot, a mini-zoo. I would like to mention it in more detail. It is located between two tennis courts in the Garden Chalet area. A beautiful place with an artificial pond, the edges of which are framed by dense vegetation, and mandarin ducks and numerous koi swim in the water: orange, white, spotted. There is a grotto with a decorative waterfall, fountains, chairs for relaxing. Peacocks (for some reason, tailless) are released from the enclosures during the day, and they parade through the grass with a proud look, ignoring the visitors photographing them. From the representatives of the fauna: a wide variety of parrots (from small budgerigars to large macaws); several species of pheasants, partridges, a swan, ducks, some small birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, monkeys... you can’t list everything. Among the inhabitants there are rare and unusual specimens (fluffy and crested chickens, curly pigeons, golden and silver pheasants).
The hotel has many places to relax: armchairs, chairs, sofas, trestle beds. All this can be found both indoors and outdoors, except perhaps to add benches in the park area. The building has high-speed elevators, including panoramic ones, equipped with air conditioning. The corridors are narrow and long, but it is impossible to get lost, at each turn the arrows indicate the numbers of the rooms.
The staff is courteous, efficient, patient, careful. They work harmoniously, they try to fulfill all requests with lightning speed. Respect!
NUTRITION. It is very difficult to stay hungry. Plenty of food, tasty, well-prepared. Breakfast is standard for all Turkish fives: eggs in various variations (boiled, fried, scrambled eggs with milk, scrambled eggs with vegetables); a large selection of yoghurts, milk porridge, muesli, various cereals, milk, fruits, vegetable salads; raw, boiled, stewed vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, eggplants, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, broccoli, olives, paprika, etc. ), sausages, sausages, cheeses, french fries, spaghetti, crispy onion rings, puff and fried pies, berek, all kinds of rolls, buns with and without fillings, pancakes, croissants. Assorted jam, chocolate paste, honey (sometimes in honeycombs).
I was pleased with the chilled orange juice.
Lunch and dinner were presented with two types of soup, a large number of side dishes, meat and fish dishes, including grilled dishes. The meat assortment is very diverse: chicken, turkey, lamb and beef dishes, as well as semi-finished products (liver, tongue, etc. ). All this in large quantities and in different ways of preparation. Every day several types of fish (fried, grilled, boiled, stewed, breaded and sauces; whole and in pieces). We have identified the following fish species: tuna, mackerel, sea bream, trout, red mullet, sea bream. There was some other little thing, such as anchovies, and fried fish that we did not identify. )) Needless to say, a large assortment of sweets: cakes, pastries, kadaif, baklava, halva, desserts in bowls...
Separately, there was a diet table with boiled meat, fish, cereals (rice, buckwheat) and potatoes. As well as a table with baby milk mixtures, canned puree (vegetable and fruit) for infants. Here, a blender, microwave, bottle warmer are also available to help mothers. There are plenty of high chairs at the entrance to the restaurant.
Of the fruits were pears, green and red apples, melons, plums, tangerines, oranges, grapes, less often grapefruits and bananas. There were practically no watermelons.
In addition to the main restaurant, there are many places on the territory where you can "kill a worm" during the day. In the "Nomad's Tent" during the day they baked gozleme with fillings of your choice, chilled ayran stood separately. In "Petiseria" during the day, cakes, cakes, buns with tea and coffee. The most delicious Turkish coffee in the lobby. The quietest bar "Siesta" near the relax pool. There you can sit in silence with a glass of champagne. And the most inhabited were, perhaps, the pool bar and the beach bar. In addition to alcoholic beverages (whisky, tequila, crayfish, beer, baileys, cocktails: "Margarita", "Mojito", "Pina Colada", etc. ) in the beach bar from 10-00 to 13-00 you could enjoy ice cream (vanilla , chocolate, strawberry). You can fully dine in the open restaurant "Turquesa" on the beach. Food is brought there from the main restaurant, the assortment is certainly not so diverse, but everything is hot and tasty. Tea and coffee in almost all of the above points.
BEACH, SEA. The beach line is quite wide with a good shady area, there were enough sunbeds at any time. There are pebbles at the entrance to the sea, there are stones in the water. On the right side of the pier, if you stand facing the sea, part of the bottom is cleared of stones, but they still come across, and large ones, and the living creatures that live on them unpleasantly scratch your legs. The pier is large, comfortable with sunbeds and umbrellas. There is a refrigerator with 200-gram plastic jars of water like disposable cups, very convenient. Three ladders for descending into the water, a shower. A lifeguard is always on duty at the pier. Near the beach bar there are a large number of tables, there is a stage with lighting, where live music often played in the evenings, and guest artists performed. There is also a platform, turning into a pier, for dancing and a foam party, it was held twice a week. At the entrance to the beach from the side of the bar is quite a decent toilet. There are wild boars along the path to the right. If there is a desire, then for 40 USD. a day you can comfortably relax in a private gazebo. To the left along the beach line on the lawn grass are sun loungers for relaxation. Further along the path you can walk to an outdoor restaurant, and a pool with slides. Towels were changed near the main pool during the day an unlimited number of times. You just come up, throw a wet towel into the container and take a dry one or a card (whichever is more convenient for you).
The sea is warm, clean, transparent.
WEATHER until 16 October. It was mostly windy, the sea was often rough, but not a strong storm, swimming did not interfere. Air temperature from 22 in the morning to 26-30 in the daytime, higher in the sun. The water in the sea is 26-27 degrees, in the pool in the afternoon + 25. The mountains were often buried in clouds. The observation deck at the top of Tahtala was clearly visible only a couple of times, the rest of the time in thick fog. Threatening clouds often roamed the sky. Despite this, a little rain drizzled only on October 6th.
ANIMATION. From early morning to late evening, unobtrusive. Separately, children's and adult animation teams, both are good. Three girls working with children are just great! The whole day, like bees, they came up with something: they held various contests, sculpted figurines from dough, then they painted them, drew, wove rugs, built huge sand figures on the beach and much more. Evening mini-disco was held for an hour, not half an hour, as in many hotels. For children, in addition to the children's pool, there is a swing, a playground, a fairly spacious mini-club, where cartoons are also shown until late in the evening. Adult animation also did not let you get bored - entertainment plus sporting events: volleyball, aqua aerobics (in the pool and in the sea), darts, boccia, mini-golf, shooting from a gun; archery, big and table tennis, (probably didn’t even list half). Evening shows were held either in the amphitheater or near the beach bar on the beach. Invited groups also performed: dance, musical and performing. In general, for the animation is a solid set-off.
Of the minuses. This, rather, is not even a minus, but a feature of the location of the hotel, which should be taken into account. At the entrance to Goynuk stands the Avangard Hotel, which has been closed for two years now. Mirada del Mar is located just behind the Vanguard. Next comes the abandoned territory, then the Ulusoy, Otium Life, Boran Mare, Adagio Club hotels (closed). "Kilikia Palace". Opposite Cilicia is a perpendicular street, on both sides of which there are hotels of the second coastline "Queen Elizabeth", "Amara Prestige", (both closed). This main street, in theory, is the center of the movement, because. there are numerous cafes and shops. Along the same street you can go to the clothing market, which comes to the village on Fridays. You need to understand that it is quite far from Mirada to retail outlets, because. all the above-mentioned first-line hotels have large territories. True, this year both the market and the promenade did not stand out with an abundance of people. Rather, on the contrary, even on the market day, the streets of Goynuk were, as never before, quiet and deserted.
And finally. To all the staff of Mirada del Mar, I would like to thank you for a wonderful stay, and wish the hotel not to lower the bar, and continue to be one of the best family hotels in the region with an ideal price / quality ratio.
