2. Beach. Located on the second line, walk a couple of minutes. In the morning they clean only near the sunbeds, anything is closer to the sea in the sand. Sunbeds are not processed. Mackerel is fried in the snack bar from morning to afternoon, the smell spreads to the entire beach - it's impossible to breathe. The entry into the sea is immediately deep, since the sea is constantly restless, there is almost no calm - the coast is simply washed out to the depths. Barkers (from shops in the hotel and spa) constantly walk along the beach with their intrusive services. For a 5 * hotel, this is simply not acceptable. Got horribly. There was no music on the beach.
3. Room fund. I liked the room - with a modern interior, comfortable mattresses and pillows, bed sheets were changed every three days, towels were fresh every day. Cleaning in our room was 5+. There is no cleaning of public toilets - it's not fresh there. The minibar was replenished. Bottled beer is placed once - 2 bottles per entry. Tea and coffee were refilled every other time.
4. Nutrition. The main menu is generally ok, no frills. Every day fish, beef, turkey, stewed vegetables. There were no seafood delicacies during our stay, except for inedible crayfish for dinner, which were removed very quickly, apparently due to the heat, to be frozen and laid out again a week later. Food in snack bars is traditionally cheap food in the form of french fries and spaghetti. Gozleme terrible from sour curd. Waffles by the pool - a piece of tasteless rubber dough. Chemical ice cream was not taken. Baking is not tasty, oriental sweets too. The edible fruits were watermelon and melon, and a couple of times there were figs, which ended quickly, the rest of the fruits were green and creaked on the teeth.
5. Pool. The pool has been occupied since the morning by the Romanians, who come here with all their gypsy camp and occupy all the sunbeds by the pool in the morning. You can take a seat at about 7 am, but it’s not a fact that your towel will not be thrown off and the sunbed will not be dragged away along with the umbrella. I used to ask hotels without Russians, now I will ask hotels without Romanians. In the pool daily aqua aerobics, volleyball - there were many who wanted to. Music is playing.
6. Alcohol. He's disgusting. The wine is terrible, the local brut too - apparently, everything is the cheapest.
7. Piano. It's in the lobby. The pianist is playing - attention!! ! - at 10 am, when all the people are on the beach. It seems that the hotel performs entertainment for guests for show, and not for the comfort of guests.
8. Entertainment. They are not here. Everything. During our stay, we did not see a Turkish evening. You will not see any entertainment announcements anywhere. The hotel does not have its own territory - the whole territory is, in fact, a pool. You won’t be able to go out for a walk - just go to the city, but there, apart from shops, there is no entertainment. On the other side of the hotel is a stage. Here every day you will see the same clip of Philip Kirkorov (who, thank God, I have not seen for 6 years) and you can dance at the technodisco from 22 to 23.30, if you have such a desire. Once we saw a sluggish concert lasting 1 hour. You will also not be able to watch TV in the room at this time, as the music completely overshadows TV. On the third day of my stay, I howled out of boredom. We will never return here.
I'll start with the main thing: the quality of service is determined by nationality, if you are Russian, then this hotel is not for you.
The buffet system is simply destroyed. . . The staff does not cope with the service, and is also negligent: someone imposes a small portion, someone large, someone is served without a queue and without a mask, someone is treated more strictly. In this connection, queues are formed quite impressive, and so on for each position of food.
1. Dirty tablecloths are used in the restaurant, they are cleaned from the tables very badly, the tablecloths do not seem to be washed, they simply shake off the remnants of food and crumbs, but stains and stains remain, which causes vomiting when you see this place for a meal. We called the manager of the restaurant, they did not hear us. Only beautiful photos are posted on Instagram. Dust in the eyes.
They settled on the second floor, where the music is on the track until 23.30, although they said at the reception that the parties change location every day, one day by the pool, the other day on the terrace, which turned out to be a lie. It is impossible to fall asleep before 12. Animation is just turning on the music. That's all.
2. Once again: huge queues for food lead to the fact that you leave with a feeling of dissatisfaction, and not usually after a buffet with a feeling of complete satisfaction.
3. Condensation drips from the ceilings in the halls from the air conditioners right next to the tables, if you really find fault, but agree not the level of 5 stars.
4. Bad wi-fi throughout the whole theory of the hotel, but they are lobbying for pictures of Turcell at the reception, and exorbitantly 25 dollars.
5. The room has a short bed, 190 cm
6. The room has 1 hook for towels, which is simply not convenient.
7. Weak pressure from the shower head.
8. The design of the bathroom and toilet is not convenient, the doors do not latch, the rubber bands are not glued, they fall off all the time, thus the door to the toilet or shower cannot be tightly closed.
9. Animation is missing.
From the pros:
1. Mini-bar, updated.
2. Sauna, hammam and pool inside, but everywhere you need to sign up on time.
3. Location and appearance of the hotel.
We are not the first time in Turkey and there is something to compare with, but we do not recommend this hotel as the first or second hotel. The second time here I do not want to come back at all.
Of course, that “Wow” from Design, as it was the first time, was not there, but otherwise everything remained at an excellent level.
Yes, indeed the territory is not large, but this is not a problem.
My daughters (5 years old) and I made a schedule and barely had time to visit everything.
For hotel guests I want to pay attention to Activity. In the morning it is shooting from a gun in a beautiful green corner, there are darts, I didn’t go - not mine. And at 15.30 from the side of the Bosphorus passes Golf and bowling)))). Very entertaining pastime.
To this add a SPA (three magnificent saunas) and a gym. And there is not even a minute to get bored. To help moms and dads - kids club.
We went to the sea in the morning, as the sun was burning)))))
After golf, the child ran for ice cream with waffles and only then enjoyed in the Jacuzzi with other children (to the right of the bar).
All in all, it was a great vacation.
About food, rooms, staff - everything has already been written)))))) I will not repeat myself.
The Bosphorus Hotel itself is an 8-storey building with rooms, the sea view opens from the 5th floor. There are also -1 and -2 floors with restaurants, bars and shops. About 80% of vacationers are Russian tourists.
I will write in the review the nuances for children's recreation.
Unfortunately the kids club for 4-12 year olds was closed. For the entertainment of children on the territory of the hotel, a miserable playground was provided with two slides, two swings and one rocking chair, illuminated in the evening by a single light bulb. Therefore, my child had to while away the evening on the mini-golf course on site.
The playground on the beach stands like a lonely camel in the desert, without a canopy, which makes it impossible to spend at least some time there, because under the scorching sun it seemed that its plastic structures were about to melt. A canopy is a must!
Children's pool on site - a plus! He's under a canopy.
The description of the hotel says that there are 4 water slides on the territory, but in fact there are three of them. But the joy of riding them was given to both children and adults!
And further. Wi-Fi was not childishly bad at all. Various locations throughout the hotel. Photos could not be uploaded for several minutes, not to mention 15-second videos.
Food is varied and a great choice, sunbeds on the beach were enough, the room was on the 7th floor at the end of the wing overlooking the river and the sea (only under the window below was air conditioning and there was loud noise), there is some inconvenience with the bathroom glass and not separately, but it could not spoil the mood.
the service was good so it is worth going to this hotel.
Meals at the hotel correspond to 5 * (there are only some comments on breakfast), a choice of meat, fish and even dietary dishes for every taste, and seafood in general is great - once a week, even king prawns in unlimited doses)
Rooms with beautiful views on both sides.
We took the one overlooking the Manavgat River and did not regret it (others have a view of the pool and the sea in the distance) - in the evening the entertainment program can be seen from the balcony with maximum "presence effect"), plus the river always has boats, including recycled under pirates), which either float or even moor in front of the hotel. The room itself is comfortable (the girl did not like the toilet and shower made of frosted glass, but I even had a joke) and quite spacious with a TV mirror, free mini-bar, which was replenished almost daily and a bunch of mirrors.
Alcohol is not diluted, the staff at the bars is friendly.
Decent animation: darts, water gymnastics, water polo, table tennis and football, beach volleyball. Swim abruptly and frolic in foam at the foam-party (skin Friday).
Fat minus because of the spa.
A woman at the spa reception with an eternally dissatisfied attitude recorded a visit to the sauna for the third time, and as it turned out, there were places before. If she had been paid for paid spa treatments, her attitude would have been radically opposite.
In general, the rest is great and even the "crazy" heat, which I can not stand even at home, did not interfere with the wonderful impressions and emotions. Bosphorus Sorgun - a great hotel for a cool, positive and active holiday!
BUT this is only because of the corona, because physically the waiters cannot cope with a large assortment, the choice of food is NORMAL, there is everything for everyone, at least 4 types of fish, meat, poultry at least 6, there are lactose-free products, dietary and children's.
The animation is excellent, but most importantly - absolutely not intrusive, we came to seal by the pool, we were politely offered, and just as politely accepted our refusal, in the morning (active exercise), in the afternoon (sports competitions), in the evening (all kinds of shows there , karaoke). The only thing is, people who go to bed early, and with children, ask for a window to the pool, all traffic in the evening ends at about 00.00 and until that time the music, dancing, dancing, is very noisy. But we were fine. You can get to the sea by car 2 minutes, you can walk 5 minutes, the car drives constantly, that is, it really left and arrived. The bar by the sea and the kitchen is also very good! They also make pita bread right in front of you.
There were enough sunbeds for everyone, if suddenly not, then it was enough just to contact the beach / pool employee and they brought them to you. I was overjoyed! What I sincerely wish for everyone else!
