August is a hot month in Turkey, but we are not lovers of the scorching sun. We have enough of this in Anapa. My husband and I rested in August only because we were on forced vacation, and besides, we were limited in the budget. We didn’t have a chance to live in the hotel itself, we were settled in a room in a neighboring building, opposite, across the road. As the administrator assured us, this is the "body" of the hotel. Apparently this is just a guest house, owned either by the owner of the hotel, or his relatives, or God knows who else. The staff does not shine with friendliness, corresponding to the "three stars", the dress code is not observed. The room is standard, there were two remnants of the accessories in the bathroom, but even though there was toilet paper, and they gave a new roll every day, there are two channels on TV (Russian and some local). The water is highly chlorinated and tastes disgusting. One big minus - the air conditioner, one might say, did not work, did not give out cold air, and in such heat life is not sweet without it. The hotel staff assured that they would fix the air conditioner, send a master soon, move to another room, say everything to get rid of us. Two days was just a punishment for us, the heat and stuffiness, like in a bath, were everywhere, on the street and the shade did not help, it was not easier in the room. At night, it was difficult to even fall asleep from the overheated air, I jumped on the bed a couple of times from the feeling that I was suffocating. On the third day of the fight against the arrogance and indifference of the staff (I had to complain to the owner of the hotel), the air conditioner was miraculously repaired, because each time the local plumbers put forward new versions of the malfunction. All inclusive food is a big word, the choice is very small, rather monotonous, and often not very fresh. The dining room is located outdoors, on the ground floor, so because of the stuffiness and heat, the food spoils very quickly, because it lies openly on the dishes, without refrigerators. The pool is small, but people splashed there with pleasure, I personally never used it, I prefer the morning and evening sea. The beach is less than ten minutes walk, you need to cross the road. It is dirty on the shore, there is rubbish lying around, a lot of broken sunbeds, and boulders make it somewhat difficult to enter and exit the water. And the water is just wonderful, clean and warm.
So, if you are traveling for the first time and the budget is limited, then such hotels are quite suitable, but the main thing is that you have a lucky chance to check into a room where everything would be in working order. If you can hardly stand the scorching sun and stuffiness, it is better to visit this interesting country not in the summer heat.
