Club Hotel Siesta Garden Bought a ticket to this hotel 3 days before departure, lasting 7 days.
Before that, we usually chose a hotel for a long time, studying the reviews, but this time it turned out that the vacation was over, and we hadn’t rested anywhere yet, so we took what we had.

The next day we read the reviews and were simply shocked by them. We already wanted to refuse and change the hotel, but then we decided to go to this one, given that the stay would not be long + two or three excursions + the beach would help to stay at the hotel less.

Upon arrival at the hotel, a miracle did not happen - everything bad that was in the reviews was confirmed. Even considering that we were already ready for what we would see - the first day I personally was still in shock, but the next day addiction began - everything suddenly began to seem not so bad.

It is unlikely that the hotel is not bad - it just sucks, we just know how to relax. What can be noted about the hotel:


Feeding: if wisely choose food, tolerable.
Situation: fresh in the morning, chopped in the afternoon, in the evening in a salad - I met almost every day.

In general, we didn’t go hungry, we didn’t get poisoned.

Room cleaning: none. For 7 days, neither the bed nor the towels were ever replaced, there was rubbish on the floor and remained until we left.

And once they went to the guide, who was there all the time, they said, she wrote it down - nothing has changed. I did not leave tips, because from past experience I got the impression that they do not help.

Room: the room itself got a decent one, a view of the mountains, there were no cracks on the ceiling.

Animation Entertainment: it just wasn't there. The boy who is the animator is a juvenile jerk.

Hot water: for 7 days of stay, they washed in the shower 2 times with hot water, the rest of the time - cold, once it was icy at all. Local drinks - so-so. I drank mostly beer.
At first, they poured it into gnawed plastic cups, later they corrected themselves - they began to pour it into glass goblets.

Somehow I took wine in such a glass (wine in a plastic glass is a disaster) and saw lipstick on the edge, looked at how they wash them - they don’t really strain: they dip them in some kind of soapy solution and rinse with water.

Beach: the bus that takes you to the beach free of charge was hit 2 times. It is not realistic to wait for the bus back to the hotel, because it comes only when there are people going to the beach. Walking to the beach and back is not so tiring. The pool is quite big compared to other hotels.

The sea is excellent, although there are few living creatures in it and it is not as beautiful and colorful as on the Red Sea in Egypt.

Excursions are cheaper to take in shops located on the way to the beach.
But here we can immediately say that, for example, if you go by pomukalla for 2 days at a cheap price, then you will have to spend the night in a 3-star hotel. We did not go there, because we rested for only 7 days.


Excursions we took on the street 3 pieces: Turkish bath - I recommend; aqualand - a couple of slides are cool, but in general we have better water parks; sailing on a yacht - riding, swimming, lunch is free, generally tiring.

Here I would like to note the Turkish service - it is simply no, complete disorganization. In my opinion, the Turks don’t give a damn about tourists, they are only interested in single tourists (I won’t develop this topic - it’s disgusting, ugh, that’s how all Russians are judged).

Separately, I would like to note the excursion to the Canyon, which we arranged for ourselves. This was the best tour we have ever taken in Turkey. Go far, somewhere 10-15 km. from hotel. But it's worth it!

We left at 14.00, returned at 21.00, tired, but satisfied.
When we left, it was generally a complete madhouse. In the evening they returned to the room, began to collect things - they turned off the electricity in the entire hotel. We didn’t have to kick the staff, we started the generator ourselves.

The rise was at 3 am. Got up - no electricity. I went to reception and told them to turn on the light. We must pay tribute, after 15 minutes the generator was started again, we brought things to the reception, they turned off the generator again, sat in the dark.

In general, we had a great time, and even such a terrible hotel did not stop us. I would like to add that my opinion is not the opinion of a spoiled Muscovite, because I am not one. Yuri.
