Rested in the Bosphorus from 2 to 12 June, I, my husband and son 17 years old. We bought a ticket for early booking, almost 2 times cheaper. Looking ahead, we really enjoyed our stay! )))
The road from the airport took about 2 hours. Tour operator Coral. They were delivered to some "mandatory" stop with crazy prices (on the way back, by the way, too). We arrived at the hotel at 10 am, at 12 pm we were already given a chic room on the 4th floor overlooking the sea. By the way, without any problems, at the request, they gave two key cards, they only asked not to leave one in the slot when we were not in the room. The room is good, everything worked, on the couch the son is 1.72m tall, with difficulty, but it fits. ))) The main feature of our room: an awesome view of the sea!! ! Very spacious closet. The mini-bar and cosmetics were replenished as they were used, they were cleaned normally, towels were changed every day, bedding every other day. The hair dryer burned out, the master came and fixed it. But I recommend that girls take a hair dryer from home, the hotel hair dryer has a very short wire, it is not convenient to dry.
Liked the food. Especially: croissants in the morning, turkey in different forms is delicious, watermelons and peaches are generally awesome! In the evening there is a queue in the restaurant, it is very difficult to find a free table even at 20.00. But here we must take into account that we rested in Ramadan, the hotel was 100% full.
Once we went to the Mediterranean Ala Carte. He's not worth the time. I didn't like the appetizers at all. The salmon was tasty and big, but we waited too long for it.
The sea is very beautiful: bright turquoise color! The first days of rest, the pebbles were small, it was no problem to go into the sea, but then large pebbles caused waves and it became really painful to walk on it. Sunset is normal, I don’t know how to swim, but I was comfortable, there was no such sharp depth. There are a lot of sun loungers on the beach, but we somehow came in the morning at 10 o'clock and barely found free ones. After that, we started going to the pool before lunch, and after - to the beach. So we avoided a lot of people.
Drinks in bars are ok. Baileys is local, but very tasty, I have met him not for the first time in Turkish hotels. There is an original martini in the bar near the terrace, but they pour it reluctantly, defiantly took out a 50 ml measuring cup several times and poured one "dose". It was the bartenders in this particular bar who so extorted tips for everything. There were other unpleasant situations with the bartenders in this bar, so we ordered drinks there through the waiters and gave them tips (at least the waiters 100% deserved it). There were no problems in other bars. Especially nice and neat bartender at the pool bar. And in the lower lobby there are nice bartenders and waiters. Cocktails Bosphorus and Pina Colada are very tasty. )
We went to antique Side, we liked it, but it was very hot in the sun. We also went to Manavgat in the Novamall shopping center, excellent stores, especially Defacto. Waikiki was not particularly liked because of the distraught Russian-speaking tourists bringing huge carts of clothes into the fitting rooms! You just have to see it! ))) There is also a Migros store in Novamall, where they sell good sweets and nuts at normal prices. The terminus of both buses is right outside the hotel. The free river bus to Manavgat did not work and it is not known when it will work.
Animation is present. We are not amateurs, but a couple of times my son and I went to shoot with an airgun.
The Internet is not bad, it worked in the room, on the beach too. From time to time I even watched movies online.
The contingent of vacationers: about 60% Russians and Ukrainians (somewhere in half), 20% Poles and the remaining 20% Germans, Romanians, Turks... When the Romanians stopped by, everyone found out about it! ))) They "nested" in a camp and in restaurant and on the beach. They shouted to each other throughout the restaurant. Even the sooo patient Turks were shocked. Wow, they are so colorful. . .
On the day of departure, Coral took us out of the hotel more than 5 hours before departure. It was frustrating, we didn't even have time to eat. We gathered people in micro-hotels all over Side (I didn’t even think that Coral sells tickets to such "slums") for a very long time. Then they brought it to the "factory" again with high prices. As a result, they brought to the airport too early and had to stumble for a long time.
It looks like she wrote everything. I can safely recommend the hotel. If there is a good price, then we will go again. )))
