I returned from a week-long trip to Turkey robbed and bitten by bedbugs - almost everyone who reads my story will find it incredible. A week ago and I would not have believed that this could happen to me ...I have been to Turkey many times, but this trip will most likely be the last. I intended to rest for a week from December 6 to December 12.2019 at the Crystal Sanrise Queen hotel in Side, but staying in this five-star hotel with laudatory reviews became for me, an experienced and not very fastidious tourist who feels comfortable even in the most modest hotels, a test for myself bad trip of a lifetime.

On the evening of the day of arrival, my room 6404 was robbed. When I left for dinner, the thief entered the room through the balcony door, which, as it turned out, opened easily from the outside, and took away a $600 Sony DSC-RX100m3 camera (S/N 4078616), spare batteries, a black iPod nano 7 player with headphones , backpack, power bank and sunglasses.

Wrote a letter, which was handed over to the hotel management. The security service said that there were no CCTV cameras in this place and advised them to file a complaint with the police. Twice the technician came to fix the lock on the balcony door, but the door still opened from the outside.

The next day I changed my room, but my misadventures in a five-star hotel did not end there. On the first night in another room 1454, I felt itchy and in the morning I saw redness on my skin, but I thought it was because of the sun. On the second night, my legs and arms began to itch unbearably. Turned on the light in the middle of the night and found bed bugs. I forgot about normal sleep and began to fight with blood-sucking insects. After the third sleepless night, I realized that I needed to urgently move again - I got a new number.

Tired of a bad dream, stressed and robbed, he realized that he didn’t have to travel to countries he had already visited.
I once liked the comparison of Turkey with old house slippers: maybe bored, but warm and cozy. For me, the slippers were torn. Good old Turkey smiled with sunny days in early December and warm sea, but instead of a smile, I saw a grimace. I wouldn't even wish this hotel on my worst enemy.

Want a truly five-star royal holiday? Do you want to be robbed upon arrival and hear that the administration is not responsible for things not left in the safe? Do you want to feed blood-sucking insects at night? Welcome to Crystal Sunrise Queen, with thieves and bedbugs for 5 stars(
