Good day to all! I want to share my impressions about this hotel. First of all, it should be noted that they have already flown to Turkey 4 times. Before that, they rested: Simena-Kemer; Caesar-Belek; Korentia-Tekirovo and Sunrise-Side. Of all these hotels, of course, Korentia-Tekirova is in the first place, Sunrise is in the second, Simena is in the third and Caesar is in the fourth.
Before writing about the hotel itself, I want to warn people against the mistakes we made this year. We took vouchers to LLC "Vestkom" st. Leskov from the operator Mostrevel. Vouchers cost 20% cheaper, because they were bought before March 31.2008 (41 thousand rubles for two - 11 days). I would like to convey a huge hello to both this agency and Mosstrevel for the fact that, firstly, they promised us to fly and fly with one airline (Atlant-Soyuz), and in the end we flew some Red Vince, and Atlant-Soyuz arrived. It all started with the fact that we only noticed this at the airport. The tickets had a departure at 6-40,
True, we were completely surprised by the huge mass of people at the beginning of the season, we can’t even imagine what will happen next. In this regard, in restaurants, of course, queues for a grill or scrambled eggs sometimes formed, but a maximum of 10 people. As for food, I will say that the more you travel to Turkey, the more you adapt. The variety, of course, is great, but not always everything is tasty, although they never left hungry. I did not like the fact that the fruits were only oranges, apples, some kind of local berry and the last two days watermelons. Grilled fish was only once. And so, a lot of lamb (shawarma, grill), chicken. Very tasty boats in the snack bar. As for drinks, they are the same as in all hotels. True, I do not agree with the previous review about locally produced imported drinks, because we drank Bellis all the rest and were delighted, everything was in order with the stomach. Here from local wine, yes, the stomach hurts. As for animation,

then during the day it is, of course, rather weak, but since we don’t need it during the day, we paid little attention to it. Every evening there was a show in the amphitheater. People were delighted, although we only went twice. We preferred to sit in the bar on the territory of the new Star Light hotel with live Russian music. Of all the Ala Carte restaurants, I advise you to go to French 12 euros per person. For example, we just crawled out of there, ate so much and, which is typical, everything is very tasty. All Ala Carte restaurants are located in the new hotel, there is also a hookah bar for $15-20. Delicious coffee is brewed only in the lobby bar. At the end of the holiday, we were already tired of the general restaurant and the pool (although we spent most of the time at the sea), so we began to go to eat at the restaurant in the new hotel, which provides such an opportunity (there are much fewer people) and sunbathe near the new pool on the seashore. As for the evening disco, it should be noted
that the music is mostly club music, but its venue and lighting leaves much to be desired. The slides work every day. The worst toilet, but I do not advise you to ride on the brown one, because there are very large seams, you can get hurt. Not far from the slides there is a bar where they give ice cream as much as they like, there is also a payphone from which it is much cheaper to call by card, but only to a home phone (only units run to a cell phone very quickly). Whoever wants to do some shopping can take a $20 taxi back and forth to the village of Manavgat, there is a very cheap market (before the bridge) after the bridge, only on Mondays, like our Cherkizovo, but we preferred the center of this village. There are both shops and a large indoor market. Bought jeans there for $20-30. T-shirts for $15. You have to bargain with everyone to the last, if they don’t yield, then leave, the sellers themselves will catch up with you and agree to your prices.
Near the hotel there is also a small market, but it's a little expensive. We bought only rahat $ 5 for 4 packs. In conclusion, I will summarize and give an assessment to some things, of course, this is only a subjective opinion. Bungalow 5+; food 4; drinks 5; sea ​ ​.5; animation 4; sauna 5+; disco 3. General assessment of the service 4. Personally, I liked almost everything, there were no such things that I was horrified. Although people are different, for example, every day we heard whole tantrums from someone about the terrible service. We don't understand what people need given the price of the hotel. (another thing, who came not for the first time, they say that it used to be better). The staff in restaurants and bars, almost all speak Russian. Any request was fulfilled immediately. When you say thank you to them, they say "thank you" and that's without a tip. And if you give $ 1-2, they generally run to you every second and ask if everything is fine with us. So, decide for yourself whether to go to this hotel or not. We, of course,
we will look for new hotels, but not because we did not like it here, but simply in order to learn something new.
