ничего особенного nothing special

We arrived yesterday. I don't know, very mixed opinion. on the first day at the hotel, I wanted to write only a negative review....in the end, it seems not so bad.
We visit Turkey every year, there is something to compare with. but this year the choice from the Dnieper was very limited, and this is the best we could afford. at first they were upset by the hotel, but according to reviews, they tuned in advance to terrible rooms, and the territory does not at all correspond to the declared 26 (or even 17 thousand).
Well, in more detail, if still someone decides to go.
with TEZTour - we no longer go, we actually waited at the airport for 2 hours. But the guide, the boy Alexander, was from the Dnieper and did his best to brighten up our waiting, and he told us a lot of things along the way. many thanks to him, smoothed out the negativity of the transfer.

Settlement: of course, we knew that we would not be settled before 14 (we arrived at 12), so bathing suits and towels in the pool. before that, they asked at the reception to pick up good rooms, because. we have a sick child.
in short, picked up - 2 on the first floor. because thanks to the reviews, we knew that it was dark and cramped, and that Nadya could do something, we began to ask hard. after 30 minutes of negotiations incl. and with the hotel manager we were given a room on the 3rd floor, and parents on 1 (2 days later Nadia moved them to the 3rd floor, much better). It is useless to pay money in this hotel, and even impossible, so our gratitude was expressed with chocolates.
The rooms are so-so—a room of about 9 m, a small balcony, a double bed, and a sofa for my son. old furniture, lack of a refrigerator - for us it was a horror. Conder works only in one mode, and one temperature. We had a terribly small bathroom, so I had a hard time getting into it with my child. And the parents have a corner room, and the area is larger, and the bathroom is good. In general, this is how it will fall. By the way, the rooms in the bungalow are about the same, but it’s annoying that it’s always dark there and people walk around – you can’t open the windows. They wrote here that there are bathroom accessories - no !!! ! It’s good that at the last moment I threw away the shampoo bottles from last year’s trip, the hotel didn’t give anything like that. And in general, there, apparently, the owner is a redneck, even normal light bulbs are not able to screw into the rooms.
Territory: probably 10 thousand in total, but very beautiful, it's true. The gardener is very smart, he was doing something all the time. Beautiful palm trees, shrubs, and the grass ---- just super. 2 pools are small, here, in principle, everything was described, but there was still dirt, especially after dinner. Although every day at midnight my uncle cleaned them with a hose (I know, because my son had a temperature control, and we fell asleep with him on the balcony). 2 bars - by the pool and garden. Drinks are like everywhere else - beer (probably non-alcoholic, we drank and drank, and nothing), gin and tonic - though there is no ice in the bar by the pool, and in the garden - instead of tonic, ordinary water is poured, darkness....there is also vodka, raki, wine....the most decent drinks in the restaurant during lunch and dinner.

There is a playground - decent, swings, children like it. More tennis (our boys played in the afternoon). Renting cars for half an hour from 3 to 7 dollars (as for me it’s not cheap, but I saw a lot of Russian kids riding).
Population: 98% Russians. What are some strange ones. Mostly non-drinkers, non-walkers. Probably from distant regions. After 11 everyone was sleeping, the hotel was quiet and empty…. In the morning, too, on the beach from 10.30 there was already a shaft of sunbeds, I don’t know where they all went, probably to the rooms. I heard that many are new, and therefore I like everything, although this is at least strange, because. the hotel is all so weak. In the last 2 days, some old, fat women, like from the market, stopped by. The impression is that someone sent pensioners on social vouchers. It was unpleasant, they shouted loudly, ate a lot, many walked around in untidy, dirty clothes. In short, my mother and I left our elegant dresses unwearable, and it’s good that they arrived at the end. And most of all, families with children, who, apart from the beach and the dining room (it’s hard to call it a restaurant), don’t need anything else.
Meals: hard 4. drinks are not very good—but we knew, and brought our own vodka and whiskey, so as not to get bored. Food-weak breakfasts, but so everywhere. The pancakes were very good. Lunch and dinner are always meat, grilled fish. Fine. Only Russians can write about a lot of fruits—actually, they are green watermelons, watery melons, a couple of times there were good grapes, plums, and apples....I don’t know, we are not very fixated on this, but not very good on fruits. With the children's menu, it’s quite an ambush — we knew, of course, that ours wouldn’t eat much, but there was basically nothing there — we brought milk, kefir, mashed meats with us, and then we took raw carrots and potatoes to cook soup. I saw that many children were fed dry mixes and brought cereals. Ours ate eggs, pancakes, took milk for breakfast. A couple of times a local soup, with difficulty....muesli, potatoes (always hard), meat, etc. Not suitable for 2-3 year olds. The older ones ate.
Sea: there is a solid 5, and for the sea, and for the beach, and for the bar on the beach. It was warm, probably 28 degrees. The beach was clean enough. There were enough sunbeds for us—I wrote already, they came to 10, when many were already leaving, and were at sea until one. We didn’t go to the front rows for food, but later. We often went to the neighboring beach to swim. there were no people there at all. The bar has a cold beer, what else do you need. They wrote about the road to the beach—yes, 8 minutes to go, but not stressful at all. Especially through the pine forest.

I will especially note the village of Tetringel itself - we were already in it in 2007, and now we chose it largely due to the fact that there is where to take a walk, a long embankment, and a central alley with fountains, and a square with a clock....in general, you can in the evening it is not stupid to sit in a hotel. We also went to Manavgat for shopping, because. The bazaar is still terrible, except that they bought delicious peaches, and in Side, take a walk. (travel 2 lira per person, or 3 dollars for two, peaches 2 kg for 3 dollars. Class !!! )
Animation: sucks. I don't know if it used to be better, but in our 10 days there was only a mini disco, and a few evening shows. During the day there was no animation. Those who write that the class probably just do not know how it should be. On the first day, I had a fight with the animators. Dinner at 20.30 is already extinguished on the terrace, almost everyone has eaten, people are stumbling around and don't know what to do, and the mini-disco started only at 20.50. I went up to them, I say start earlier, now it's getting dark early, and the kids get tired faster. Leave me alone, we have a program. I went to the reception and expressed everything. Bottom line: animation at 20.30, and 2 times more children. Animation chief—told me thanks.
The second time my husband and I came up to play water polo, the poor animator could not even dial a team, my husband had to play with the children..... it’s good that there were a lot of us, so we didn’t get bored too much.
I will not draw a conclusion, everyone will orient themselves according to the situation. Sorry for the length, but I wanted to give as much information as possible. And rest is always good.
