For the first time, I decided not to be too lazy to write a review about the hotel, although we are far from resting in Turkey for the first time.
So, I'll try to be as objective as possible.
I read all the existing reviews about this hotel, but each of them was like that phrase from the movie "Istanbul is a city of contrasts. " After all, the hotel is new, April 2019 announced the opening.
The assessment of vacationers was from 2 to 10 on a 10-point system.
We rested from 9-19.09. 19.
1. We met, saw off, settled, everything was fine here. We arrived at 10 am, exactly at 12 were in the room. The carrier staff is kind.
2. And now about the number. The room is insanely small. They wrote the truth that there is no closet. Therefore, you have to keep things right in the suitcase. Given only a couple of hangers and a shelf for the suitcase itself. I did not understand why it was impossible to hang at least a couple of hooks and put a chair. The bathroom deserves a separate description. It will be difficult for you if you are a person in the body, because in order to enter the bath you must first open the door, then go into the bathroom, and then close the door. At the same time, as it usually happens, it will not work. With my hips of 100 cm, I did not "pass" between the corner of the washbasin and the door itself.
Shower: just a recess lined with tiles. Yes, and very slippery, called "drank too much, do not go into the shower. " I had to wash in it with the curtain open, flooding the floor of the entire bathroom, because the curtain is so dense that when it was closed it became pitch dark. Although, closing the curtain, it still poured onto the floor, because the curtain is very short. There is little light, as in the shower, and in the shower compartment it was not at all, as, in fact, there was no hood. That's why it smelled damp. Such a curtain in the room. After all, the curtains in the room are translucent. Since we, for example, do not like to sleep with the light of lanterns, but there are plenty of them on the contrary. The shower room is full of everything: shower gel, shampoo, cotton pads, whatever. This goodness was more than enough.
The balcony is small. But you can sit together. There are two chairs, an ashtray and a small table. The room has a TV, a refrigerator, which was so noisy and heated that we had to turn it off. The bed is big but creaks. I was always afraid that the legs of the bed were about to collapse. Strange, because the hotel is new. Bedding is changed every 3 days. But on the 4th day of rest we had to go to the reception and ask for it.
3. Beach towels are short. If you lay starting from the head, then it ends just below the level of the thigh.
4. A separate "yell" is the beach and the sea. The beach is small, dirty, and it is difficult to walk on it without slippers. Sharp pebbles, some scraps of dry leaves. The beds are good, solid, but constantly dirty due to the fact that the towels are short. And people get their feet dirty, the sand dries up, but in the evening they don’t wash the sunbeds, but simply shake them off. The entry into the sea is smooth, but the stones are again, mixed with some kind of silt or something. Therefore, in the morning you will see clean water, but by lunchtime it becomes cloudy and unpleasant. But there is a way out - swim behind the buoys, you can also stand on your feet there, but the water is a little cleaner. Umbrellas are made for children who are not in the hotel. Even the lowest person needs to crawl under them. There are no hooks.
5. And now special attention!! ! The beach and sunbeds are located between the hotel and the ROAD! At first I thought that only official cars drive along this road, but, alas, I was mistaken, everyone drives, including buses, trucks, and sometimes 2 cars cannot pass and one directly presses against those lying on the edge. Dust stands in a column, and also flies where the wind blows - either at you, who are sunbathing, or at the local bar, where there is the only place where you can sit.
6. The bar is like everyone else. With regular alcohol and bartenders. But there are only ashtrays on the tables, there are no napkins to be found. The tables are very dirty. Bartenders allowed themselves to take popcorn with their hands directly from a common box or even from a bag that they gave to those who ordered.
7. Meals are "modest". Yes, there is always something to eat. I have no complaints about food at all. A couple of types of meat, fish. But everything is very fried. Constantly the same salads. That is, "tomato salad with cucumber", "tomato salad with cucumber and cabbage" and so on, just add some more greens there. A couple of olives, some cheeses. And for some reason there are a lot of flies and wasps that fly and sit on food. I was afraid to take a sausage in which a fly was sitting. And dirty. The waiters brush the dirt off the table with their palms. I read in one of the reviews that food is not thrown away and then converted into other dishes. Basically, yes, it was. And definitely, what they didn’t finish in the evening is laid out again and again. Sausage with dried edges was more often than we would like. There was also an unpleasant moment: often the food that was quickly eaten, alas, was not reported. Sometimes it was necessary to wait a long time and not wait for the tomatoes, but I am silent about crayfish and shrimps. They, it turns out, were, but the "chosen ones" managed to grab them. The question is: why were they put up at all if there were “a couple of pieces” ?!
8. Regarding the staff. Everyone here is polite, but for some reason they don’t smile, as usual in sunny Turkey. And yet, for the first time I heard a terrible smell of sweat from the waiters rushing between the insanely narrow aisles between the tables of the restaurant. They all walk around in dirty and stained suits. I thought it seemed. But no, at 7 in the morning the suit is dirty, which means it is a priori dirty.
9. There is only one restaurant and it is really small. Can't say it's a restaurant. More like a canteen. People sit very close to each other. So close that I had to quickly eat and leave. There were no hoods, the smoke ate my eyes, I had to run away faster. It’s also unpleasant to listen to someone’s conversations, and even speak yourself. It is not easy for an ordinary person to walk between the rows. I was constantly afraid that someone bigger would blow my glass of water. Glasses and forks are always clean, which cannot be said about tablecloths and chairs. By the way, this is 5 *, and the tablecloths for breakfast, lunch and dinner are the same, with stains in the majority.
10. The complete absence of hoods. All dishes are fried near the tables. There is nothing to breathe. You just sit in a haze of smoke, your eyes watery. You come up to take something and it hurts your eyes. Well, food smells throughout the hotel, especially fish.
11. Another very important point. The hotel is completely soundproofed!!!!! ! We heard everything: every sneeze and conversation behind the wall, someone shuffling along the corridors, as if in their own room, we were thrown up by the terrible knock of doors that people did not hold, in short, everything and everyone was heard. Be prepared for this. It’s good that the hotel is without children, otherwise it would be like in Pugacheva’s video “It’s time for business, but it’s an hour for fun. ” Just as if with a broken head, we woke up every morning. Because we were awakened several times during the night. Yes, maybe someone’s sleep is less sensitive, or maybe someone is so flooded with alcohol that they don’t hear anything, but we are not one of those, so we went to the local pharmacy and bought sleeping pills to at least get some sleep. By the way, there was such audibility in Soviet camps and sanatoriums. On the positive side, you can also hear the sound of the sea : )
12. Animation is good. The girls are very unobtrusive and pleasant. Programs are modest but nice.
13. The territory of the hotel itself is clean, but small, it won’t work out much to look like. You can walk along the coastline, but remember, parallel to the roadway. Accordingly, dust, dirty sand. By the way, the pool is very small (140 cm deep). Usually I saw such pools in other hotels with personal bungalows.
14. Cleaning. Yes, especially it was not. The floors were not constantly wiped down. If we get lucky. Just a change of towels, an addition of toilet paper and soap and water. The bed had to be asked to be changed, they forgot about it.
15. Regarding Wi-Fi. He was everywhere, even in the rooms, and quite a good connection. It was possible to send some photo by messenger, Messages flew with a whistle. Sometimes it wasn't great, but it didn't matter.
As a result, I will say that the VOXX hotel is a pure 3 *.
I don't even know why they got so many stars.
Just when forewarned, forearmed. And you must understand what awaits you.
One man even called the police to Tui's company, made a scandal right at the reception, which sold him 5 *, and he arrived at 2 *, according to him.
Also, I don't understand the positive reviews. It seems that these people did not rest here, or were drunk and did not see anything, or, like our very elderly parents, who first saw the "abroad" and it turned out to be better than a sanatorium somewhere in the Odessa inlet.
I do not recommend to those who are used to relaxing on the clear sea, in comfortable conditions and cleanliness.
Yes, if this hotel is sold as 3 *, at the appropriate price, then it is quite possible to have a good budget vacation, turning a blind eye to dirt and so on.
But for those who are used to and can afford 5 *, I do not recommend it.
In any case, for us a good hotel is one where we want to return again. And such were.
I don't want to come back here.
So, I'll try to be as objective as possible.
