Ladies and gentlemen.
It is a pity that I did not read the reviews about this tour operator and this hotel BEFORE VACATION last year, but did it only after it!
We are talking about the tour operator Teztour and the Ardisia Deluxe Resort 5 * hotel widely promoted by it. Use this operator and come to this hotel if you are a fan of the following:
- seek to have the room cleaned only once every 3-4 days, and then only after you have been walking all these days and demanding this service, starting from the reception and ending with the hotel manager;
- so that, in the end, they will come to you to clean up not when you posted a sign about it, but when the “do not disturb” sign hangs; and then the lottery - either again “fly by” with cleaning for a few days, or they will open your room without your permission and interrupt you “at the most interesting place”;

- when the shampoo or soap runs out, you can “break through” the additive only through the hotel’s general manager in 2-3 days;
- and don't dream that your underwear will be changed more than once every 6-7 days, and then only after a scandal;
- in the canteen, the battle for clean plates and cutlery almost comes to a fight; one can only dream of eating at a clean table;
- here you will fully feel like a “white man”: after standing in a huge queue you will receive food strictly for one person, so that the whole family will have to stand behind each dish in each queue, while the Turks receive food in any quantity and often without a queue and , because of this, you, most likely, simply will not get it;
- “white people” in bars will receive drinks in disposable plastic containers, while Turks will be served in glass or ceramics;
- in the pool you will swim with charming aboriginal women who dive in full attire, ranging from bloomers to hijab, so you won’t understand whether she is swimming, or she has arranged a “laundry” next to you;
- every day in the morning at the Teztour counter you will observe the queue of vacationers who still could not stand the nerves from this five-star service and are eager to move anywhere, if only from here; but it was not there! ; Teztour will provide you with a replacement at no extra charge on your part, but it will be a maximum of 3 stars, not by the sea and in a cheap area; if you want to exchange for something better - pay Teztur and not a little!
- Well, complain to Teztur about Teztur himself - yes, as much as you like! ; but one can not even dream of putting a mark and signature in a copy of the complaint that it has been accepted for official consideration.

To be completely objective, I will say that with great difficulty I still remembered two positive moments in the rest in this hotel. The first is the beach. And for lovers of the sun and for lovers of continuous shade - there is a place for everyone. The second is an animator who appeared on the beach every two or three days. The guy tried.

But to my misfortune to find that I was an English speaker, he tried his best to use me to work with him as an interpreter, even when I myself did not want to participate in the entertainment.

Here, in order not to take up your time, only a small fraction of those extreme sensations that await you are described, if you choose this tour operator and this hotel. Enough for a whole story. By the way, when asked if they are not afraid of negative reviews and anti-advertising, they made it clear to me that they are too “fat and beautiful” and the opinion of vacationers is “on the drum” for them. Oh well! I wish them success.
I'm not afraid to sign with my real name. Let this company know the one to whom they spoiled the rest.

P. S. By the way, initially, in the contract for travel services, I forced the travel agency to enter the entire list of services that they never provided me.
So let them just try to make claims against me for this letter - I wish them success in this matter!

P. P. S. But they were right that it would be very difficult to complain about them! Review sites for Teztour and this hotel are most often blocked. So if anyone does read this review, it is in spite of their opposition!
