We flew to Turkey via Tez tour, Natalitours, Pegasus, the last MOT was distinguished by an incorrect guide at the hotel. To advise a particular hotel, you need to know the budget, period, city of departure, number of days, and other wishes.
аватар Trisha75
Tez Tour tops my list. I will put Sanmar and Coral in second place. Pegasus is not very satisfied with the service and charters.
Regarding the hotel - what month, what preferences, what do you like, do you speak English or German (there are excellent hotels, but without Russian-speaking staff), do you want to visit the sights or are you planning just a hotel-beach vacation ... Specify, please. Well, the planned budget is very important! Then it will be easier to advise.
аватар PolikSVT
Choose the one who will have a cheaper tour. shoals in the form of delayed charters, disgusting guides are found in everyone! And the hotel is still two-by-one))) In the hotel, all questions are decided at the reception and the guest relay service. Guide MOT there is generally zero complete!

PolikSVT
A guide from TO is not always a complete zero, especially if the hotel is someone's exclusive. TO very seriously monitor the work of their people in hotels, if we are talking about normal TO.
аватар Alexandr-
THEN I will advise the tour, and it will be possible to talk about the hotel after the announcement of the budget.
аватар PolikSVT
Alexandr, if there is no guide in the hotel, what will change? ALL questions are still solved by the hotel staff! If there are problems with languages, then the guide acts as an intermediary, and nothing more! I have never solved accommodation issues with the help of a guide, and I don’t buy excursions from them, why waste money in vain? Why is this guide still needed? They brought and took away, that's all their work! Now, even on the road from the airport to the hotel, you only talk about excursions! okay, but who is the first time in Turkey? Why not tell about the history of the region? About those sights that we pass? so no, they just keep saying: do not forget to come to the meeting, buy excursions only from us! Got it, damn it)))))
аватар PolikSVT
As for the exclusivity. Here Amara - Tezovskie hotels. But just there it is easy to resolve all issues at the reception, the guides do not bother at all.
аватар Alexandr-
PolikSVT
This is all because you are not resting through the mezzanine.))) Their guides always talk about history and sights while we drive to the hotel. Well, talking about excursions is their job.
In Amara, of course, I was not, unfortunately. But I know for sure that in the thesis they monitor how their people work in hotels.
аватар Trisha75
Alexandr-
for the same reasons that you wrote, I put Tez Tour in the first place!
But still - all issues at the hotel are resolved through the hotel managers, and not through the guide! )))))))))
If you go for the first time, it is still better to go through a really good operator. But already 5-6 times you can fly with anyone. IMHO
аватар PolikSVT
Alexandr, why not through TES??? Others don’t sell Amaru))) And with Tez, I’ve already rested 8 times for sure, and not only in Turkey. But didn't notice much of a difference. Although, no, I’m cunning: in Egypt, it was Tez who “forgot” to take us on a tour, we sat in the lobby for 4 hours))) And then, as with a scandal, the money was returned. But in Anexom, which everyone loves to scold so much, I flew 5-6 times, and not a single joint!
аватар Pachok
"these keep track of how their people work in hotels."
What are they supposed to do there besides selling tours? If anything, we also went through TEZ. I don’t remember a case where, in general, a hotel guide was needed. And chatting all the way to the hotel is not only Tez guides.
We had Turtess, Tez Tour, Pegasus, Coral Travel. No difference, everything is always fine.

Good evening!
I traveled from all operators in Turkey (Tez, Tui, Pegasus, Sanmar-Koral, Sunrise, Anex, Pegasus) When choosing, I focus only on the price, what is the difference in principle in the Operator. They are all on level 1. Tez, I agree is good, but his prices are above all. Everyone will be taken to the hotel and back))) Now Anex and Sanmar have the best prices. Sunrise gave good prices 2 weeks ago.

In general, I never go to a meeting with a guide and I don’t give vouchers. I’d rather lie on the beach this time. What I want to see in the country, I know for sure even before the trip, there is everything on the Internet. I flew with different operators, I can’t single out anyone, everything is fine with everyone.

We are going to Turkey in July, 2 adults, 2 children, budget 80,000 rubles. Is it possible to have a good rest for this money?
аватар PolikSVT
The concept of "good" is different for everyone. Do you have something to compare? 10 years ago, when we first went to Turkey, we got into a modest 3 *. After Singapore 5 *, I sobbed for 3 days from horror and anticipation of a ruined vacation, and my husband was insanely happy after our south)))) In general, this is VERY no budget for a family of 4 people. And yet, it is important where you are flying from and the number of nights.
аватар sent2008
When choosing TO, I focus not only on the price, the air carrier is important for me. Once we paid 6000 more for the tour, because between Transaero and AK Tatarstan chose Transaero, but we have the right to choose, in the regions, probably, the price is the fundamental search criterion.
80,000 for 3 adults (14 years old is already an adult) and 1 child - very little for a good rest, not for 3 nights to fly.
аватар Oleksii64
The main guideline is the price, Tez is one of the most expensive.
аватар gala0909
In 80,000, it’s really possible to meet if you buy a 4 * hotel now in May. We took Side for 2 weeks from Sunrise with a flight from Sheremetyevo for 4, although children 2 and 4 years old for 60,000 for 2 weeks
аватар Trisha75
There are offers for 80,000 with a departure from Moscow. But these are modest hotels, with small territories and not on the first line...
A good rest - what is it in your understanding? The sea, the sun and the absence of obligations - already a good holiday!
аватар Trisha75
We also took a hotel in Side (Maya Club Golf Hotel) for 16 days from St. Petersburg for 96,000 (2 + 2 people), they took it in January.

PolikSVT, the activity of the Toshny guide always brings a smile. My family and I are grateful to the guide who tells interesting stories on the bus, sometimes we are grateful when, after a night flight, they doze themselves ... and we are with them)) Moreover, the guide is an adaptive creature, you ask - he answers ... won't say. About rubbing guides on trips on excursions - three is expensive - everyone seems to know this, but they are still being conducted)) This is what this creature lives on ... I watched the guides at the reception repeatedly divorce, about the best room ... masterpiece! And after all people believes and thanks! Although in real life the guides are "0" in such matters. It is his duty, not only to bring the client to the counter, but also to provide all possible legal assistance. But few help. More often this is another reason to profit from the ignorance of vacationers.
kushnirenkoanna, be guided by the price, not by the operator - they all screw up in expensive hotels and cheap ones. Trips (excursions) are not related to insurance in any way (guides play on this). Buying a ride on the street for $20 - You will be sitting on a bus with vacationers who bought a ride from guides for $100.
Have a good rest and of course your mood - it multiplies many times there))
аватар PolikSVT
nesnewf, I absolutely agree with you))) For me it was a shock a couple of years ago, when the transfer guide of Teza, who was vaunted here, was sincerely indignant with tourists at 6 in the morning at the Grand Ring Hotel that they were not accommodated immediately)))) When I was already further on the way she hinted to him at the existing international standards of settling, I was sincerely surprised) And when we drove up just to the Tez hotel - Amara Club Marine, brought us to the door and rushed off immediately) We must pay tribute to all the "Amarans", they populate almost always instantly!
аватар Alexandr-
PolikSVT
)))
** led us to the door and rushed off immediately)**
So you are talking about a transferman, well, or a woman)))
And those Tez guides who sit in hotels still try to help tourists to the best of their ability.
I have witnessed this many times.
new
Exactly a year has passed and you are again talking about mysterious buses))))
I repeat once again - if a bus is from a TO, for example, from Teza, and there are "suckers" who paid $ 100 each, then "smart tourists" who paid $ 20 each will never sit on them on the street. Therefore, in one bus they can not be in any way. Any TO has its own buses, and street agencies have their own ...
аватар PolikSVT
Alexandr-, I really understand the difference between the transfer guide and the hotel guide))) But here I completely agree with nesnew, REALLY only the reception or guestrelation service can help. And in English, I myself will agree with them, without a guide-interpreter) Although, I agree, there are probably some exceptions to the rules.
аватар PolikSVT
I just mentioned this "knowledgeable" guide only because a self-respecting THAT such suckers should not be allowed on the transfer!
аватар Alexandr-
PolikSVT
There are, there are)))
аватар Alexandr-
PolikSVT, sometimes there are slow-witted people on the transfer ...
They are not allowed to work at the hotel.
аватар sent2008
Gentlemen, I only met in Turkey and Egypt that transfer guides escort you to the reception desk and help you check in, and the whole bus sits and waits in the wings. In Europe, they say goodbye to tourists near the bus, this option suits our family quite well.

I really like Side. The town is an open-air museum. It is interesting to take a walk by yourself - visit the ancient ruins, sit in cafes, restaurants overlooking the sea. You can go to any excursion through TO - if you wish. Therefore, I always rest near this town. I recommend hotels - Very close to Side - Turkuaz 5 *, Blue Waters Club 5 *. But, these are expensive options 100,000 rubles and more expensive (for 2), but you will get an excellent rest. Were in 4 * Barut Cennet & Acathus last May - 64,000 for two weeks. The location is great. Near the city, its own beach, green area, food. But weak animation (if you are interested and would like it), a small pool. Ali Bey Manavgat 5 * (its own huge water park, large territory - you can spend a day at sea, spend a day in a water park) - 15 km from Side. In Kumkoy (from Side 10-15 minutes by bus) - Paloma Oceana 5 *, Sunrise Queen 5 * So it's hard to advise, everyone has their own taste. We like this kind of hotels and places. I can strongly recommend.

Alexandr-, don't be so categorical in your illusions))
About buses - I write from my experience, both buying from a tour guide and on the street. Conclusion, you should never rush to buy from a hotel guide)) you can find out all the details, and then make a decision - from whom to buy!
About a hotel or transfer guide, this is generally rhetoric.
Smiled.
Almost any guide is a hotel, the question is different? What kind of hotel)) There are no transfer guides! There are several guides depending on the size of the hotel. Only most often you will hardly catch even one, but you will be happy to watch everyone while rubbing excursions - all the action will be in the best traditions of network marketing - buy now !!! and save yourself from the end of the world...))
After that, they generally lose interest in new arrivals. For me, it was always a mystery ... I didn’t buy it - it’s understandable, the disappointment “could not be earned”, but when it came, why they forget when leaving on excursions, in case of problems on excursions they “wash their hands”, leaving people who do not know the local language - I had to solve problems on my own! I am writing from my own experience...
