The infection is transmitted through household contact and a sick child or adult is contagious for 7 days. Everyone carries the infection in different ways: adults can get sick in a day, without realizing that it was a rotovirus (often they think that they just ate the wrong thing), and children get sick for 3-7 days, this infection is most dangerously carried by young children, because there is a risk of dehydration.
The hotel pretends that nothing is happening, they don’t notice sick children, they don’t help and they don’t apologize !! ! Instead, when we were leaving and trying to get the managers to record the doctor's conclusion about the infection, the manager called the doctor and started yelling at us that we were lying!! ! Then she gave us the phone to talk to the doctor and immediately hung up the number. Then the conclusion was translated to us, it was written there that the child had laryngitis!! ! This is despite the fact that this child had the most severe condition of all and was taken to the hospital 3 times!!!
Because it was not possible to achieve the truth on the spot, we can only warn the others: if you don’t think that this is a normal situation (and there were also such people), then it’s better to choose another hotel, or better another country, because if something happens, you won’t wait for help, yes and no doctors!
We decided for ourselves that we would choose other countries for our holidays!
Only in Turkey for the 4th time. There is something to compare.
I must say that the hotel is normal. Not better than some, but not bad either.
The room my husband and I were supposed to have was standard, but we were settled in a family on the ground floor. On the one hand, it’s very good - we have “our own” room and the child has her own (every evening my daughter chose where to sleep upstairs or downstairs - a bunk bed). But a significant minus in kondee. We had it in the room, but our daughter didn’t, and on some days there was simply nothing to breathe there (but I’ll immediately notice that this was our room, because the neighbors in the “nursery” had a second air conditioner). With kondeem, too, not everything is so simple. In principle, if the air conditioner is not turned off, then 24 degrees is quite enough (very comfortable), at night it is even cool - they covered themselves with a blanket. The air conditioner was almost always on, even when we left the room (the garbage into which the card was inserted did not work - that's why the light and the air conditioner turned on without the card) BUT! Do not forget that the condo is central. Therefore, from time to time the condo is turned off from the “central” console. At night, at about the same time (around one in the morning and around 3 in the morning), it became stuffy in the room and so I got up and turned on the air conditioner again. During the day, too, sometimes turned off (centrally). Well, periodically there are "collapses" with air conditioning. A couple of times the air conditioner did not work almost the whole day (not only with us) - the room was just a hammam. Our windows overlooked the west (on the road) in the afternoon, and it was so stuffy in the room (the curtains were tightly closed so that the sun did not heat up) even with the air conditioner, and even when it did not work, it was just dark. You can’t open the balcony at night - buses are very audible (although they rarely drive up, you still wake up from the noise). With the door closed (by the way, there are good packages - you can’t almost hear the buses) it’s even worse to sleep... They complained to the reception - they wrote us down in an already huge list of those who had the same problems that day. They said that they would fix the system within 20 minutes (it was 9 pm). They fixed it at 4 am. We hardly slept at night (due to stuffiness and bus noise, because the balcony still had to be opened)
By the way, my sister's condo worked quite tolerably. The same +24 (and it even seemed possible to regulate the temperature - but in our opinion the actual pace did not change), but since it had a smaller number (standard), it was very cool.
Audibility in the rooms is VERY good - you can hear everything that happens with the neighbors.
By the way, the rooms have a kettle, cups, tea and coffee. A trifle, but nice. True, our kettle was not very clean - it stank terribly... But we don’t care - we always carry our small kettle...
It makes sense to grab a fumigator - there are mosquitoes. On the first night, the daughter was bitten all over. Then they turned on the fumigator - it was normal until the pills ran out (fortunately on the last night - the daughter was bitten again)
Strained kondei and in the restaurant. Now my husband and I understand people who come to dinner in the evening in shorts and T-shirts... Because in other clothes (even a short-sleeved shirt and trousers) it is very hot there. They save a lot on horses. In general, I can say this - the condo works well only at the reception. And this is a big minus of the hotel.
Continuing the theme of the restaurant. The food is good, no complaints. Of course, not a mega-many fruit, but the choice is quite tolerable (3-4 species plus watermelon and melons). In the last week, they even caught cherries (not every day, although it was a season). A good dietary table for kids (namely, dietary). An 11-month-old nephew was fed boiled vegetables, stewed or boiled meat (we didn’t take canned meat with us), fresh vegetables, yogurt (there is a very tasty one for breakfast and dinner), scrambled eggs, porridge (there are two types of porridge, but this is type No. 1 rice with milk, and type No. 2 milk with rice - but I will pay tribute to delicious )), soups (you must try, some are spicy, but usually there are 2 types and you can definitely feed one). Juice - clearly UPI. Stomp from a pack - the girls drank with pleasure. Mine got hooked on ayran (at the beach bar and where a woman bakes gozleme). In the children's restaurant (open from 18.30 to 19.00 please pay attention) there is a blender and a microwave (but of course you can also use a blender and a microwave at a regular dinner from 19-00)
Children's table - naturally the same as in other hotels (in principle, all the same dishes can be found on an adult)
The second minus is dirty dishes… We are not one of those who walk around and look for all sorts of filth… But here it was really impossible not to notice dirty plates, cups with coffee rims, forks with leftover food. The teaspoons were so dirty after just one... I understand everything that the machine washes the dishes. But after all, you can put a person who, at least offhand, looked through the dishes that come out of the dishwasher...
The territory of the hotel is not big, but it is quite well planned and it is enough for rest. There is no feeling of "crowd" - and this is a big plus. Decoration - beautiful - nice garden. Of course, we really lacked eucalyptus and pine trees, but even here the eye, as they say, rejoiced, looking at the flower beds. The territory does not seem deserted and bald at all (although looking at the photos on the sites I got such an impression). A plus is the presence of a promenade - you can take a walk in the evening. There are a couple of playgrounds on the promenade (one on the left, if facing the sea next to the hotel, and the second on the right, at the other end of the promenade - they are exactly the same) and sports grounds (you never know who wants to do outdoor sports).
The pools are beautiful. Our children really liked it. Although we are not supporters of bassists, but still, if the children wanted to, they were allowed into the pool. We enjoyed riding down the hills. The operation mode of the slides is very convenient - 3 times a day (because we were in hotels where the slides only worked once and there was always a crowd) - again there is no crowd.
The mini-club is excellent (children are taken from 4 years old, although on some websites it is written that from 6 years old)! The animators are trying very hard: they come up with various games for children, they make something - a huge thank you to them. Naturally, our girls also got T-shirts (children color them themselves - $ 15) - I think this is a wonderful souvenir. But I’ll note that it’s better not to wash the T-shirts (or very carefully) - naturally the pattern is washed off. Once they baked pizza - it turned out well One evening they arranged a concert where the kids took part. In general, our girls went there with pleasure.
Evening mini-disco - as normal everywhere. Here the truth included a lot of new songs that we had not heard before - also a plus
Evening animation - of course weak. Kind of monotonous. Basically, these are acrobatic shows and are essentially the same (African acrobats, Chinese, just acrobats, etc. )... I liked the dance show very much (our guys danced). The Turkish night was not bad. . . But everything else (comedy show, miss hotel) is complete nonsense.
Beach. I won’t even say much - great for kids. Sun loungers are always in abundance. Although the people still managed to come and take the sun loungers (why???? ). The pontoon in the last days of stay at the hotel was nevertheless built and towed. True, they forgot to supply stairs... By the way, the pier was very lacking...
With water sports on the beach - strained full (I do not take into account any garbage like a parachute and a banana). Our hotel has nothing. Through one hotel there is a "base" (not our hotel) - but the choice is not ah. Kayaks and catamarans (foot), which are often free in other hotels, were not observed. My husband loves a sailing catamaran very much - he strained with this matter, but he found it anyway. A 15-minute walk from our hotel (it was a little closer, but there they charged a nuclear price for something).
The hotel can take a stroller on deposit (it's better than renting) - so consider it free. This is a regular cane.
Turtles live in the river next to the hotel. You really need to be able to see them. We saw a couple of small ones. And once I was lucky - I saw a huge "tortilla" - it's a pity I couldn't take a picture of it.
The hotel staff is quite normal. Some kind of priority in relation to the Germans was not noticed at all. The maid cleaned the room well (of course, tips), gave her our chocolates a couple of times (she was very happy) - so she began to bring flowers to the room.
Alcoholic cocktails - so-so. By the way, you can take nuts in bars (who loves beer). There are no children's milkshakes - minus. But they make a cocktail with milk in the bar at the reception. Ice cream from 15.30 to 17.00 in the pool bar and for dinner.
By the way, delicious pancakes are baked in the pool bar from 15.30 to 17.00
Russians (Russian-speaking) rest 60%, but the audience is quite cultured and quiet. Lots of Turks and Germans.
As a result - the rest was a success, we quite liked the hotel. But to say that we are just delighted - there is no such thing... Will I recommend it to friends? Rather, I will, if there is no other alternative in this price segment and priorities...
Well, in general, everything about the hotel. The rest will be interesting, who is traveling with children.
Rotovirus is walking in the hotel (diarrhea, vomiting, temperature). We have already encountered this at home in the fall, so we know what it is... We all had it. Someone got more, someone less... First, my sister and I. At first they thought that the salad was not eaten very fresh with mayonnaise (how many times they told the world that you shouldn’t eat dressed salads in the heat... ). But when I heard from others that children get sick in the same way, many realized that most likely it was still rotovirus... I was doubly offended, because. I had to go on an excursion with the girls, and in the evening on the Fires of Anatolia - my husband went for me, I lay in the room... A couple of days later the baby fell ill and a couple of days later the girls fell ill. They called a doctor. The doctor confirmed that it was not food poisoning (once in a row) and said that there were many calls from the hotel with similar symptoms. He prescribed medicines (all bought at the pharmacy - they help by the way). A day later, my husband fell ill... But in principle, we (adults) recovered in a couple of days. Older kids are fast too. The kid was getting sicker.
But I don't blame the hotel. Someone brought the infection - and she went for a walk... I repeat that in the fall we picked up this muck at the “native” polyclinic - then the whole family was much more ill...
But I wrote to warn you - you should still be more careful (although it is clear that you can press the button in the elevator and touch the railing that the patient touched... ).
Pampers-napkins are available in local pharmacies. You go outside the hotel (barrier) and straight to the shops themselves. There are 5 pharmacies in the village. But the choice is the same everywhere. There is juice (hipp, milupa), porridge (hipp, milupa), mixture (milupa). The choice of canned food is very modest (compared to other regions of Turkey) - hipp (there are fruit cans, but it makes sense to give them if there are fresh fruits, it’s worse with vegetables - a couple of types) - well, I repeat that the assortment is the same everywhere. Perhaps there is more choice in Side itself (but we didn’t go to pharmacies there)
By the way, for babies, milk can be taken in the evening at the bar at the reception (packaged)
My husband went to Green Canyon with the girls. The girls behaved well - they liked it. We went on a Viking yacht (children under 6 years old - $ 15) - well, this is generally out of competition, the children were delighted with the treasure hunt and the foam disco. The only annoying thing was that everything is for sale (of course, children WANT) - tattoo stickers $ 7, ice cream is the cheapest $ 3, a chain pendant, sand painting... you have to fork out. But in general, the walk left a very pleasant impression - I recommend it (we went from Odeon).
Naturally, in Side we went for a walk on our own - $ 15 for a taxi from the hotel. Drive 10-15 minutes. Prices in stores are in euros, but they sell in dollars without any problems (of course, after counting, that’s what it comes out to). But in Side it is cheaper (clothes, souvenirs) than in the market in Evrenseki.
The air conditioner cannot be regulated, the temperature is set to whatever they want, at first it was 25, then they made 27 !! ! Complained to the reception - they do not care.
The three of us rested with a small child - we slept wet.
Food is for the people. Dirty baking trays, not fancy cheap food. Local coca cola, instant coffee, complete absence of juices - only colored water (yuppies).
It is disgusting to touch sweet things - everything is somehow wet, cakes with kilograms of cream. General impression - canteen.
All the dishes in the dining room are cheap (5+ star hotel), bent, the plates are chipped.
There is always a queue for ice cream, it's humiliating to stand.
People who have a modicum of self-respect left do not recommend going to this hotel.
One of the rare pluses is the excellent 50 meter pool. But that's all.
A separate song of the room - 12 squares at most, along with a bathroom, a balcony and a half meters square. The furniture is all made of chipboard, battered with streaks. Bedding is changed once a week. Do not disturb the signs, no - the Turks break in when they want. The three of us slept with a child - a man came and began to fill the bar!!!
If I had the opportunity to take the money, I would have left on the first day.
