The food is very mediocre (you can find what they put out for breakfast, during lunch, etc. ).
Now about the pros - enough food, and if you still love eggplant, then you are in +, the mini-bar in the hotel is free, daily refill with beer and drinks at the rate of 2 jars per person) in general for alcohol in the hotel +, there is wine, champagne , beer, various cocktails, you can take nuts with beer, all day snacks, Turkish pita bread, ice cream, Belgian waffles, cookies, colorless.
the sea is deep and the waves are very big, for those who can't swim, a circle or armbands is a must, a water park is great for both adults and children. Who plans to have a good rest for little money to you here)
The food at the hotel was very good. There is always red fish, dorado, trout, sea bass, turkey, a lot of fruits and sweets. The dining room was always clean. There are plenty of sun loungers around the pool and on the beach. There are a large number of bars on the territory, local drinks. There is always water and ayran in the refrigerators near the bars. On the territory there is a wonderful water park that will be fun for both children and adults. There are also children's rooms with cheerful animators and there is an amusement park. The staff is not intrusive, polite and attentive.
The only negative of the hotel, as for me, is the fact that there is nothing in the area. In general, I liked the rest, I recommend it for families with children.
We were settled on the 5th floor overlooking the mountains (we agreed in advance with the tour operator the place of settlement in the main building). The room is not large, double bed, single bed and a folding chair. In general, the room is clean, free bar (2 cans of beer, 2 gas water, 2 without gas and 2 Pepsi). The bar is replenished every day. TV, safe, air conditioning were working! Towels only for 3 people, but asked the cleaning lady and she immediately brought the fourth. The cleaning lady on the floor is generally very nimble, if there were problems after cleaning the room, then at the request she came immediately, without indignation and house fees. Cleaned every day, towels, if asked, are changed every day (there was a reminder on the table that towels are changed on request! ) Bedding was also changed on request, otherwise the cleaning was normal. There are enough hangers in the closet, but not comfortable.
Nutrition! I read many reviews that there is nothing to eat and the food is terrible! People, have you been to this hotel? ? Breakfast from 7:00-10:30 and away we go. . . at 11 bars begin to open, with tortillas ??????? ? and ayran! The snack bar is practically another dining room until 18:00, there are a lot of bars with drinks on the territory, waffles, ice cream, local shawarma, and many others. And so the whole day! Dinner ends at 22.30. 23.00-7.00 late dinner at the restaurant. The food is varied, a lot of fruits, a large selection of meat, there is a dietary table (there is not a big choice), grill bars are open for lunch and dinner. There are enough places, but we went to dine in a restaurant behind the water park, this is a restaurant for lakehouses, there are few people, but the food is on a better level. The staff in all restaurants is polite, service is very fast, drinks are brought by themselves. You should try alcoholic drinks, but they make good cocktails! For children, there is also a large selection of drinks (dairy is generally delicious)
There is a free hammam, you can come after the pools to warm up and relax, they offer to visit and paid, but not intrusive. They also give out beach towels (one towel was given with holes! ), There is also a gym. Nearby is a large pool with sun loungers and a bunch of bars (for the most hungry), and an indoor pool is open, where the water is much cooler (for lovers). There is also a water park, behind the hotel, min 5 walk, the hotel area is very large. Large slides for adults are old, there are no mats for them. The children's water park is new, the children are delighted, the slides are very cool. There is also a pool for very small ones, about 10 cm deep.
The beach is sandy and pebbly... very large, there are enough places for everyone + a pier, sun loungers are all booked in the morning... people have such a tradition... but there are places! The pier is very cool, the water is excellent, the depth is about 4-5 meters, the fish swim. From the shore, the entrance to the water is difficult and inconvenient, very steep, it is very difficult for the elderly and children... Something like this, up to your knee... two steps and up to the neck of an adult. And the waves are very big, knock down. The entrance to the water is pebbly. We swam at the pier. Very beautiful sunset!
In general, I liked everything. This is not our first hotel holiday, there is something to compare! Are there always disadvantages? if desired!
In the hotel and the "room" everything is stained, stink, tobacco, dampness, mold in the bathroom, the toilet does not work, it is unrealistic to wash it off ! ! Each of our days began with disappointment! After all, we were waiting for this vacation and booked back in March! Before that, all hotels and countries are just a miracle! But this / guys I write to warn! Not in any case! Just a waste of money! In the a la carte restaurant / sign up got b! But they say that the management wants to make it paid! Let's see what! Wash in one word! The staff has drawn no time! Elementary at dinner said Water not to be found! Never be fooled by good reviews!! ! Like us! This is a base! The girl Asya works to burn and she herself told how she asks tourists to write good things on the top for a compliment from the hotel ! ! Wine and fruit in the room! People are scribbling! You can’t come here with children for free / not just for money !! !
The only negative is that many Russian pensioners rest in the hotel, whose average age is 70 years old, they were all arrogant, ran, occupied sunbeds for 20 people, created a stir, some kind of constant disassembly arranged, probably got used to what is needed go at 5 am and take a sunbed, in general it was terrible. In addition to Russian pensioners, Germans, Bulgarians, Poles, Italians rest in the hotel. There were no Ukrainians at all, except for us and two other people. Separately, I want to talk about the numbers. The hotel has a main building and bungalows, these bungalows are located both on the main territory and a little remotely. A bus drove to the distant bungalows, it was about 5 minutes to go, but it was still not pleasant. Russian pensioners were mainly settled there, and those, in turn, quarreled, who had the impudence, and demanded that they be relocated either to the main building or, at least, to a bungalow, but on the main territory. I will say that the rooms in the central building of the hotel were bought by Join Up. Since I wanted to fly through another company, and not through Join Up, the hotel told me that they could not give a room in the central building, but they also offered us a bungalow. These bungalows are a complete set-up! When we were taken there, we looked at 3 rooms, I immediately said that I would not live here, but rather go home! Double room is called! Low ceilings, 2 rooms of 10 meters each, bunk beds, the rooms themselves are dark, damp in them... in a word, it’s bad there, I wouldn’t rest there for anything in my life! To be honest, I was not on the second floor in the bungalow, I don’t know how it is there. As a result, we abandoned the bungalow, paid an additional $50 and were settled in the main building, in a quiet room overlooking the mountains (they wanted $100 for a room with a sea view). a huge round balcony, it was a completely different matter, it was a spacious room, 25-30 meters. In general, Germans, Italians, Poles, Bulgarians and those tourists who flew through Jin up live in the main building.
The territory of the hotel is not small, very convenient entry into the sea, and the sea itself is very close, it was convenient. Outside the hotel were shops, cafes, restaurants. With the service at the hotel, everything was as usual, for a dollar the room is normally cleaned, at least we were always clean.
We bought a tour in June for September, in August the price of this hotel increased. If you buy a tour in advance for a lower cost than it will be in August, for example, and live in the main building, then it’s fine, I can advise this hotel for relaxation, but I repeat once again, you can’t go to bungalows, they are no good, especially far frame. In addition, these rooms should be much cheaper than rooms in the central building.
Basically, the hotel has a rest for the elderly, a lot of tourists with small children, as the entry into the sea is more or less normal. Young people have nothing to do there!
Nowhere on the maps and diagrams is the location of Lyra Residence shown. It has just been written that Lyra Residence is located 800m from the hotel (but it can be in a straight line), but the actual distance is about 2-3 km by road.
If you are offered a ticket to Lyra Residence, you mean that they give you false information and are misleading. . .
