So we visited Sarigerme, namely Alinn Sarigerme Boutique 5 *. Sarigerme is an amazing place! Magnificent nature, air and climate combined with amazing sandy beaches and transparent silk sea. And now, actually, about the hotel. A little bit of everything really.

1. FLIGHT and TRANSFER - without any problems and delays. It takes 20 minutes to get from the airport to the hotel. We arrived at the hotel at 10:40 and checked in at 12:40. During this time, we managed to explore the territory and local bars. We regretted that we had not prepared beach things, we could swim for an hour in the pool.

2. TERRITORY - beyond praise! Spectacular views, complete "relaxation"! The landscape designer did a great job! And yes, everything is in perfect condition. Everything is well planned too.

There are two bars, a restaurant (there are no problems with seats), two pools (one with a jacuzzi, the water is very warm, it does not stink of chlorine), a SPA center (did not visit because the prices bite, for example, a hammam costs $ 69), hammocks, an observation deck platform with loungers.

3. ROOMS - the usual standards, of course, are small, only 20m, and they require minor updates, but this did not overshadow our stay at all. In the room: a large bed (or rather, as already mentioned earlier, two pushed together, and on wheels, but with good mattresses), two bedside tables, a mirror, a table in which the minibar is hidden (it cools, frankly, rather weakly), a bench, a wardrobe with hangers and shelves, in which there is a safe (free of charge), as well as an LCD TV (from Russian only ORT-Europe). There is also a telephone, and in the bathroom too. On the balcony there are two chairs and a folding clothesline. The air conditioner worked so that you can freeze.
A couple of nights were pestered by mosquitoes, because it was easy to sleep with an open balcony, the fumigator saved. And in general, means of protection against these insects will not interfere there. Cleaned regularly, efficiently. The bed was changed once. The rooms on the 1st floor are not very good - the view is not the same, better higher.

4. BEACH - far away. On foot to go there at a normal pace of 20 minutes, by bus to go 3 minutes. The bus schedule is on the photo. The beach itself is good, with a sufficient number of sunbeds, however, the umbrellas are a bit small. But then there is a whole "eria" in the oasis near the bar with cool beds, tables and deck chairs under the trees. Loungers that are completely in the shade all day should be occupied early. The only thing that spoiled the nerves a little was that for some reason catamarans from a neighboring hotel settled on our beach, moreover, the staff of this hotel also drove all our vacationers in the water to the left to the city beach.

We tried to find out at the reception, they were indignant and promised to sort it out. The next day, the only changes were that the catamarans were moved to the side more compactly. Apparently, the issue of the beach at the hotel does not really bother anyone, and we decided not to spoil our vacation anymore, and swam as it turned out. In the morning we went snorkeling in the rocks - this is to the right at the very end to the lagoon. Wonderful place! In the water we saw fish and even large ones, hedgehogs, starfish, a small moray eel and the coolest thing - a large octopus. Of course, not the Red Sea, but still it is more interesting for us than stupidly lying on the beach all day (well, this, of course, who has a hobby).

5. SERVICE - excellent. We did not see any discrimination. The staff is polite, attentive. There is almost always someone who speaks Russian at the reception.

6. ENTERTAINMENT - one might say minimal. Volleyball on the beach.
The hotel has water polo, darts, two billiard tables, table tennis, a court, a games room. There is practically no animation. Once there was a concert of a group playing guitars and singing performers. We really enjoyed. On Friday, Turkish Night - a dance ensemble concert and belly dance. The tour package includes a free excursion to Fethiye (from 13.30 to 19.30, the guide records at the first meeting). Worth a look - Fethiye is a very pretty town. The only thing that most of the time is spent on visiting jewelry and leather shops, as well as a shop that sells oriental sweets, spices, souvenirs and textiles. For those interested in water activities, go left along the beach. The prices are acceptable.

7. FOOD - so-so. Those who are used to crazy buffets in Turkey will be disappointed. The choice of dishes is more than modest, but no one will go hungry. Natural meat and fish come twice a week, and the fish is not very good.
The rest of the time, chickens and turkey (on the first day for lunch, the turkey was frankly not fresh). For that, with fruits and vegetables, complete order. The most delicious there are deep-fried dishes that are fried at dinner on the street. Breakfasts are generally poor, there are not even croissants, I thought that this does not happen anywhere at all. For a change, you can go to the fish a la carte restaurant (once - free of charge) on Tuesday, Saturday or Sunday. It is better to sign up immediately upon arrival at the reception. Sandwiches and cakes are made on the beach from 12.30. They are also baked at the hotel from 15.30 (Wednesday is a day off for tortillas).


8. DRINKS - in principle, as everywhere in Turkey. Powdered juices (even in the mini bar in the room), orange juices 2 euros for breakfast. Coffee from the machine. Bottled wines in the main bar and on the beach, in the "Panorama" bar - from the barrel. The beer is the best in the main bar.
Imported drinks for an additional fee, although the tour operator promises supposedly ultra inclusive with some free imported drinks - this is nonsense. In the mini bar, two bottles of sparkling water, two bags of "juice" and a 1.5 liter bottle of drinking water are free of charge, everything is replenished.

9. CONTINGENT - mostly British, Germans, Russians and Ukrainians.

This hotel is recommended for couples of all ages looking for a relaxing romantic getaway. During our stay, a young company from Ukraine came across, which behaved ugly, they also boasted, they say, “imagine, if we light up here like that, what we do at home. ” For the first time I was SO ashamed of my compatriots! GOOD PEOPLE, IF YOU NEED "PARTY" AND "FUN", YOU DO NOT HERE! There are many other hotels for this. Please do not spoil the rest of people who are looking for peace!

I wish you all good luck. I will gladly answer questions.
