"Jokes" and general facts about the Belinda 4 * hotel (in the numbers from June 15 to June 21.2010):
1. I got tired of the fact that almost all fruits are unripe, except for watermelons, oranges and grapefruits. Peaches, plums, nectarines, apricots - 80% - hard and unsweetened : (((.
2. Bracelets are put on in Belinda upon arrival (someone wrote in the reports that they were not there).
3. Belinda-Family - these are the buildings of Anex (Anex-Tour). It is located to the right of the hotel, walk about 5 minutes, and it's not cool, especially if you go to the sea. But people were settled there, nevertheless.
4. There are no tables near the sun loungers on the beach. And they should be! , they are necessary for drinks and snacks, or for cream and other little things.
5. Umbrellas on the beach are obviously not enough when the hotel is fully occupied (and by the 20th it was 100% full).

6. Umbrellas on the beach are obviously low. Especially men (they are taller) regularly hit iron umbrellas with their heads - this is unpleasant.
7. Russian TV channels 4: ORT, Russia 24, RTR-planet, Music-ru - and that's great)))
8. The national composition of vacationers: many Germans, other nations: Poles, Slovaks, Russians, Ukrainians, Turks, Hungarians, Belarusians, French, Dutch. How do I know? And I asked, got acquainted - fortunately, I speak English normally.
9. Breakfasts: there were scrambled eggs twice a week (I didn’t notice it right away), but both times the cook was not there, the second time I basically waited for the cook (and while I was waiting for the yogurt I ate) - he was not there for about 15 minutes, this is iron , if not more, as my husband says, because I came to breakfast later. The husband did not wait for the omelet. There were pancakes twice, the second time for some reason a wild queue lined up (apparently, again the cook was not there for a long time). The first time - the pancakes were already cooked, there was no queue at all. Twice there were croutons with an egg. On Monday - there were fried eggs, again a wild queue. I took yogurt again. The husband was more patient and scored for two.
10. Fresh orange is made during breakfast, it costs $2.
11. By June 21st, as the hotel is full, there are hardly enough places during breakfast. At lunchtime, this is not so noticeable, because the people are still somehow stretched out in time. By the beginning of lunch at 12:30, I still don’t advise you to come: it’s better by 13:30.

12. Food: all the time, except for 1 day, there was chicken for lunch and dinner, sometimes there was fried liver (delicious), for dinner they also fried bony fish. However, salads and "hot" - in descending order, reported what ended. I can’t say the same about desserts: whoever had time - he ate (((. The tray was taken away, the leftovers were grouped. Desserts were not at all pleased because the choice is not large, and the cakes are all the same, only glaze of different colors on top. And another “trick”: they made custard, and then they made cakes with it, sand cakes (short pastry at the bottom, then cream, canned fruits, jelly), eclairs.
13. Toilets: there are not enough of them. I count the toilets for one floor: near the reception - there are 3 cabins; behind the main pool, at the exit from the territory to the beach - 2 cabins and one washbasin (they clean it, probably, once a day, and believe me, this is not enough! ); there is also ONE bathroom on the beach, near which, of course, there is a queue.
14. Cabins for undressing: one, all alone - near the pool, the other - ONE - on the beach, near the beach bar and shower.
15. Turkish children in the pool, like frogs. They run to their parents every five minutes back and forth. Puddles form between the pool and the sun loungers of the Turks, on which a woman with a child in her arms fell right in front of my eyes.
16. The hotel rooms are really new. This is also a good plus. Looks like the hotel has recently undergone a major overhaul. I didn’t really like the furniture in the room because of the lack of doors in the TV cabinet and in the bedside tables.
17. There were no bottles of soap and shampoo (not to mention balm and body cream), but bottles of shampoo and liquid soap were nailed to the wall.
18. The room was cleaned every day, towels were changed every day, even those that were not thrown on the floor, the bed was changed every day (well, at least with us, and believe me, we didn’t leave money for the maid). And it's nice.
19. By sea: the sea is shallow, you go for a long time - and everything is knee-deep, waist-deep... then a little depth, then waist-deep again - and this is very far from the coast. Good for kids and old people.
20. Beach: stretched wide from the beach bar to the sea, so it's a long time to stomp for a drink, snacks, wash off the salt, or go to the toilet.
21. My advice: in the morning go to the pool (since there are fewer people there than on the beach, and cool water is closer), and in the evening, after 15-16 hours, go to the sea (people are slowly leaving from there and the sun is already tolerable) .

22. Towels for the beach. At the reception you pay $10 (Dima from Kharkov! 10, not 20! ), you get a card (no matter how many towels - the deposit is the same), and with it - to the hotel spa. There is a service - you can wash them, of course for money. It horrified me on the first day (I didn’t know that towels can not be given clean and free of charge - every day on the way to the beach). But a person gets used to everything....
23. More about food: do not eat cutlets, meatballs, etc. "shit" from minced meat, because it seems that there is no meat there, and even after that there may be heartburn or belching, it can be sharp, not to mention the fact that it tastes like. . .
24. Restaurants a la carte - one, Turkish. M-dya... probably, this is also the difference between 4 * and 5 *. Thank God I didn't go there. Then, upon arrival, I heard a very unflattering review of him. If a person wants, he will tell you all.
25. Animators were cool, friendly and funny. Entertained, no complaints, as in a decent hotel. True, the balls for "bucha" were too light - this is wrong, but oh well. If there was a competition or some kind of request (to pick up the children from the stage, for example), they spoke the conditions in 3 languages, as it should be: German, English, Russian. Children's club - I did not come across it much, because the child spent a lot of time in the pool and on the slides. Once we only went to make cookies (we did not regret it). Well, a children's disco for 30 minutes, my child was pretty. For another 10-15 minutes they go crazy on the stage themselves, and when they are politely “asked” from there, they go crazy around the stage and between the tables.
