Rested with a friend 07-18 September 2008.12 days. Today is the first day of work - it's a nightmare. I want back!
We were in Turkey for the first time, before the trip we read a lot of negativity on the Internet - and we were very worried.
Do not believe - go with a good mood and everything will be fine!
The hotel is much brighter, more colorful and well-groomed than in the photo, much better!!! ! The animation is excellent, the kitchen is normal, the pools are clean, and nothing broke, leaked or fell apart in the rooms. They cleaned the rooms every other day (for this, we hung a sign every other day when we didn’t want to be cleaned and, on the contrary, hung out to be cleaned every second day - and always cleaned), linen was changed every other time, and towels did not disappear from the room : )) And by the way, We did not take the safe, but the money and things were in order.
Absolutely without any bribes at the reception, we were settled in a good room in the third building on the 3rd floor. The only thing was that we had to wait a little.
we arrived earlier than the check-in time (14.00) and there were no free and cleaned rooms yet. When we waited it was very hot, but now this impression has already smoothed out : )
As for food: this is not a restaurant, of course, but everything is delicious and you can choose something to your liking for every meal. The absence of beef and pork on the menu did not upset us much (and in general they get old from meat), but chicken in various versions and liver (lamb and chicken) and of course the fish is very tasty cooked, salads, vegetables, delicious rice of various types, excellent spaghetti , mashed potatoes and baked potatoes - is that not enough? Plus traditional stews for starters, delicious bread and buns for breakfast, cheeses, legumes, stews and fresh vegetables, sweets. Do people who complain about bad cuisine go to Turkey only EAT? And then write reviews about it?
In general, do not worry, you will not be hungry. In addition, every day the menu changes a little.
In the morning every other day, either pancakes or scrambled eggs are fried in front of you. For lunch, hot pizza is often made, and for dinner, french fries or baked potatoes; fish, chicken or liver are cooked right in the restaurant on fire. I think it's great. And a very cool chef who creates works of art from watermelons, pumpkins and radishes.
As for the beach - he really upset. But it's not as far away as it seemed. Algae and small stones at the entrance. Pleasant little. In addition, the sea is very salty and VERY warm - no cooling when you go into the water. I can't imagine what's going on here in July.
But! After a few visits, you get used to the sea, besides, you can go to the pier and go down into the water from it - it is much cleaner and more pleasant there. On the beach itself, it is very far away all the time shallowly - in general, it’s the most for children, but we didn’t really like it. Therefore, we spent most of the time near the pool and are very pleased with it.
Because the pool animators work constantly with a break for lunch. And it's very, very uplifting. And club dances and gymnastics and aqua aerobics (special thanks to the animator Melissa for it! ) - they don’t let you get better, they charge you with positive, a boost of energy and give you a surge of strength and flexibility!
After lunch, a short break for those wishing to sleep. And again contests, shows, water polo and darts. And in the evening the show changes every day. At 20.45 - animation for children, at 21.45 - for adults. After 24.00 disco in the hotel. By the way, one of the reviews - it's not damp - there are air conditioners. And it is framed inside the building so as not to interfere with the sleep of those who do not go there, in my opinion this is quite logical.
It is very pleasant that the staff at the hotel really tries to make our vacation complete. Empty dishes and glasses are constantly cleaned, the boys even become familiar - they do it so often and quickly.
After sunset, the sun loungers near one of the pools are removed and tables are set up. Then at night the tables are cleared and the sun loungers are placed again. Speaking of sun loungers. We first occupied them early in the morning. And then we realized that it is better to do it at night on the way to the room from the disco.
We went on an excursion on a yacht to Manavgat - we bought it on the beach in the Traum-tour from Timur. Everything was fine. So don't be afraid and don't overpay. Although it depends where you go. According to our calculations (our tour operator Karya) it was more profitable with a tour operator in Pammukale, and it was more profitable for Manavgat and rafting with a Traum-tour.
We went to the hammam at the hotel. They say that it is really better than the city baths. And cheaper. And what kind of massage therapists are there ...and what kind of hands they have ...and foam massage ...and massage with aroma oils ...- in general, a lot of pleasure. And if you come to them in the hammam with a smile and an open heart - bargain - they will definitely give way.
Separately, I would like to note the boorish attitude of the citizens of the Russian Federation to other vacationers, to the staff and to the hotel as a whole. Dear Russians, please don't forget that you are people too. And there are people around you too. Sometimes one gets the impression that you have escaped from the wild forest, while considering that the whole world owes you something just because you are from Russia. How embarrassing for you sometimes ...For a drunken man in a snack bar, collecting french fries from the floor into a plate, for screaming "in Russian" during the evening show (despite the fact that the host speaks each of his phrases for 5 -ty languages, including in Russian), for the queue for vodka at 10 am near the bar ...for the constant whining in the restaurant about food ...
One gets the impression that you are not coming to rest, but to evaluate. What you come for is what you get. Try to just relax - maybe it will help?
(I’ll make a reservation right away that, fortunately, not all citizens of the Russian Federation behave this way - and this pleases !!! )
It is also useful to know: take cigarettes with you - $ 5 per pack then plunges you into a shock.
The same applies to personal hygiene products - everything is very expensive in a pharmacy. (A pack of tampons cost $7)
If you need to use Western Union - then this can be done not through the bank, but at the PTT post office - there are two branches in Side. From the stop near the hotel - on a dolmush (minibus, costs $ 1.5) 5-7 minutes drive - and you are in Side.
Go there for sure. At least just for a walk. We were there in the morning and in the evening - very beautiful. The Temple of Apollo, the embankment and the Amphitheater - there is something to see. But souvenirs and gold in the center of Side are much more expensive than in the shops on site.
From Karya, there will sometimes be a guide Yura in the hotel. Apparently - they all have it (tour operator guides). Such a disease.
Instead of telling and advising something - at a meeting he said - ask. In general, we realized that even without him we already know everything. And they didn't use his services again. This is probably the only bad experience of the whole trip.
And finally - a big hello to: Svetlana from the reception for understanding and attention, Animators - the chef Mr Sabotage - Rico, Melissa, Burak, Sorena and everyone (sorry guys, it's hard to remember the names), photographers Sinan and Levo, bartenders, waiters, cooks and the chef, managers, Adeline from the hammam, and masseurs. Thanks to all. Vacation was a hit! There are really a lot of impressions and positive emotions. Hope they last until next vacation!
