The history of getting into this hotel has its own prehistory. Actually, we flew to Caria Holiday Resort in Sarigerme. The tour was bought in advance, in March. But it so happened that our hotel did not have time to complete the repair work, and the host company, the tez tour company, offered us a replacement upon arrival in Dalaman: the Pasha Beach 4 * hotel in Marmaris. Of course, it was a surprise for us. Instead of a 20 minute transfer, we drove for almost two hours. But our worries dissipated when we saw the place that was to shelter us for 12 days. With the help of Tez Tour staff, we were quickly settled into decent rooms. My daughter and I got room 150. The room itself is decent, a good bathroom, two beds, an LCD TV, a minibar with water, a spacious balcony, conveniently located wardrobes. The view from the room was on the street. But it didn't bother us. Noise isolation in the room is decent, the air conditioner worked properly, its location is competent, it does not blow on the bed, it cooled decently. Questions that arose about the clogging of the drain in the shower cabin were taken to heart at the reception, and the girl immediately informed who needed it by radio. The issue was resolved. By the way, basic English will not be superfluous. Russian is not the most popular language in this resort, although the Turkish staff sincerely tries to understand you and help you as much as possible. Smile more often at these people, and you will always get a smile in return. I liked the fact that everything in this hotel is compact, at hand, which is especially important for parents with children. My 4 year old daughter was in eye contact almost all the time. The attitude of the staff towards young children is very patient and sincere, they are sympathetic to their whims and pranks. About food. It is very good, good quality. You will never be hungry. first time in Turkey I tried deliciously cooked fish. My friend ate exclusively this fish for lunch and was completely delighted with it. For breakfast, a standard set, my daughter preferred scrambled eggs and pancakes with chocolate sauce. There was always milk, lots of cereal, yogurt. Lunch is normal. Chorbasy - one kind, a variety of hot dishes, snacks. It must be borne in mind that what we call lunch is just LUNCH in the rest of the world. And LUNCH is in our concept DINNER. There was a really great selection for dinner. There were also fish during the holiday. . and turkey, and chicken, and lamb. . and much more. Thank you very much to the chefs and waiters of the hotel. I like it. There are always nuances. But overall, they are highly commendable. About alcohol. Ordinary beer, thirst-quenching, non-inserting)). It drank nicely. The wine was decent, much better than what I had a chance to drink in the Antalya-Alanya region. Raki is already a familiar drink for me. I find a certain beauty in it. I prefer to drink in its pure form, in small sips. It gives a certain charm to the rest, so to speak, the trademark of Turkey. Local drinks - cognac, whiskey, gin. . . This is for an unpretentious audience, although they find their fans among vacationers, due to their easy accessibility. My opinion is that it is better to buy what you like at the airport of arrival in the duty-free shop, especially since the prices there are very attractive. I took scotch tape in Dalaman for 12 euros. Fruit at the beginning of the season in Marmaris on the dining table in 4-ke is not the most common product. It is unlikely that you will find something other than oranges and apples. But there are a lot of shops where you can find what you need to your taste. . I went to Migros, a supermarket 10 minutes walk towards the center. He himself typed what he liked and paid with a visa card. There are a lot of other stores and shops. You can always find what you need, prices are either the same as in the Russian Federation, or a little higher. Just remember, the resorts are always more expensive. Efes beer in cans and bottles in stores costs like ours. Other alcohol is much more expensive. Yes, the hotel sells ice cream. And at official prices. According to what is indicated on branded racks (which is rare for hotels). And if it is written on the counter that the Twister costs 1 TL, then they will take exactly that much from you. The bartenders are funny guys, adequate. Yes, I was struck by a red-haired bartender with a purely Turkish name)) At first I thought, pure Brit, I came to master Turkey. They often rotate from point to point, probably to change the situation. And in general, my advice, try to learn and remember the basic Turkish phrases of request and gratitude. It will cost you nothing, and the effect is very positive. Hi, Thank you, Please - speaking Turkish will always help you get in touch with the staff. They are people just like us. About numbers. Cleaning in them is ordinary Turkish, tipping has practically no effect on it. Towels are changed very often, garbage is taken out, beds are made, there were no frank jambs. Intrusiveness did not oppress. About the pool. The size is decent, there is a slide, it works by the hour, it was enough for us. Sun loungers had to be booked in advance. But in principle - with their shortage, you could find yourself a deck chair from a warehouse under a hill. Animation all around the pool, the sea is calmer. The beach is across the footpath, but that's how it is in all of Marmaris. Cramped, but not critical. Entry into the sea is difficult. The beach itself is sand, but after a meter of water a strip of stones of a meter and a half begins, then sand again. The water is clear, the buoys are far away, there is where to swim. Marmaris itself is a pleasant place, I think everyone can find something interesting for themselves. Excursions on the coast are more expensive, the farther from the coast, the lower prices were offered. Excuse me, guides from Tez tour. Your tours are very expensive, even the beauty of Shevchenko did not compensate for this difference. This is not my first time in Turkey, street agencies have never let me down. Summing up, I would like to say the following: respect yourself, respect the country in which you arrived, and remember that you create your vacation for yourself with your mood. More positive and smiles, and your vacation will definitely succeed. For pessimists: my review is not custom-made, not paid for by a tour operator or hotelier. I just like Turkey and its people, and I always try to adequately evaluate the funds I spent with the result. If you have any questions about the hotel, write, I will try to answer you.
