Отдых в Турции Holidays in Turkey

Rested in NARCIA RESORT SIDE with a friend from 19 to 29 September 2010 Very good hotel! Yes, for 5 * it falls a little short, but 4 * + can be put without reservation. I'll start in order.
1. We arrived at the hotel around 19-00 local (ie Turkish) time. At the reception, they filled out papers (provided that neither I nor my girlfriend know Russian or any other language), while the Turkish managers very politely explained to us what to write where. The hotel is focused on the Germans and the British, there were very few Russians, but we even liked it, because. then we went to rest not in Russia, but in Turkey. The whole procedure for registration took min. 20. Then we were taken to the room. Showed where what is, how and what is included. Yes, the staff does not speak Russian. BUT!!!!!!!!!!! ! They have the talent to explain, roughly speaking on the fingers, and at the same time everything is clear. (I am writing this for those who do not know the language at all).
2. Dinner. Because We arrived at 7:00 pm and were immediately taken in for dinner. Buffet! Fed to kill! The kitchen is completely different! Everyone can find food to their liking! You can have breakfast (lunch, dinner) both indoors and on the terrace, as you like. Regarding food: there was meat every day, mostly chicken. But who will serve you pork in Turkey? Turkey is a Muslim country. The only thing was that there was practically no choice of fish, i. e. 1-2 dishes for dinner of fish and disgusting sausage………!!! ! But personally, it didn’t bother me, I didn’t come there to eat sausage with meat.

3. Number. About cleaning. Our room was cleaned every day, not a speck of dust, not a speck. The floor was washed daily. I have seen it with my own eyes over and over again. We tip the cleaning lady a dollar each, and as a token of gratitude, the bed was always made very beautifully and even decorated with flowers a couple of times (all this for one dollar). Bed linen was changed every 3 days, towels every 5 days. We had a double room, one double bed and one single bed. Each had 2 towels: 1 medium and 1 large + 1 foot towel. The room had a hairdryer, a minibar, which included 2 bottles (1.5 liters) of water (you didn’t have to pay for it), a safe. Regarding the minibar: we were immediately warned in the travel agency - if you fill the minibar, then this is at your own expense! The room had a plasma TV with many channels in various languages, incl. and 3 channels in Russian. So in the mornings we also had time to watch the news about what was happening in Russia at that time. Separately, I will say about the safe: it is paid for, but you definitely need to take it, because. there you will store all the documents, tickets, money, phones..... in general, whatever you want to put. The cost is $2 per day. But there was also a minus: we had a wardrobe, in which only one door went, but the second one stood rooted to the spot, you couldn’t budge. He came to us like a repairman, thought, but did not. There was no particular tragedy, but it was unpleasant.
4. Hotel. Our balcony had a view of the wasteland. The sea was visible in the distance. This did not bother us at all, because We only went out to the balcony to hang our linens and towels to dry. The only time we needed an iron, we turned to the manager at the reception, to which we were told that things can be left with them and the next day we can pick them up already ironed. Honestly, I didn’t give it away, because. already left the next day. And it was necessary to stroke the sundress, because. my friend and I were going to A LA CART (the restaurant at the hotel is included in the price of the tour package, we already learned about this in the hotel itself from the guide). IN A LA CARTE we ordered fish (trout) - perfectly and very tasty fish cooked. But right up to the fish, they brought us a salad, appetizers, squid in batter, soup, various sauces, and only after all this was the fish served. After the fish there was another dessert, which we simply could not eat anymore - the stomach was already full from the previous dishes. The hotel has 2 swimming pools: one, however, is quite small (like for kids), the second is a normal full-fledged pool with 2 slides. BUT!!!!!!! ! Yet again! I came to relax at the sea, not swim in the pool! We swam in the pool once, the water is chlorinated, as in everything else and in any other even super VIP hotel.
5. Beach. Walk 5-7 minutes from the hotel to the beach. And imagine, there is a bus from the hotel to the beach, it takes tourists to the beach. Personally, I find it funny! Why do you need to ride this bus if there is grace on the street, the sun and go to the junction for 7 minutes?????!!!!!!!!! ! Sun loungers and mattresses on the beach, and the beach itself are free. We came at any time and there was never such a thing that we did not find a place or something we did not get there. Seats, sun loungers and mattresses were in sufficient quantity!!!!! ! Of course you had to bring your own towels. BUT, again, we took these towels in the sauna at the hotel, took them in the morning - returned them in the evening, you can not return them in the evening if you have a clean one, just don’t forget to hand them in when you check out, otherwise they will make you pay for the loss of property. There was a mini bar on the beach (but that's loudly said), in fact, an umbrella and 2 refrigerators, to which drinks are cooled (water, cola, fanta). You can at least every 5 minutes. walk and drink, no one will say anything, it is included in the price, the only thing this stall works from 10-00 to 17-00.
6. Animation. This is a really big minus. They tried to organize something for the children there……………but so-so. And for young people and the elderly (who were also) nothing is organized. The animator speaks excellent Turkish (he is naturally Turkish), a little worse in German and English, and generally not like Russian. Although one evening he bled, apparently he was in a mood, so that everyone laughed heartily and understood what he was saying (even I will not hide, not knowing any language other than Russian). LEARN LANGUAGES!!!! ! You are going to rest abroad, not in Russia, and the fact that you cannot explain yourself is only your problem.

7. Drinks. Free only drinks of their production, but they are not very good, terrible wine, alcohol with alcohol. But then again, who goes for what, I went to see the country, I was extremely interested to find out how and what in Turkey, therefore, there was no good alcohol, so what, not a tragedy.
8. Waiters. These are BAD PEOPLE, but not all, but the majority, maybe we have come across such people. In principle, they did not speak Russian, although they understood the language, and there were a couple of waitresses who, apparently, did not have enough attention, so they tried to get to know each other, and with such vile hints.
And we had a case, not a pleasant one. We returned from the tour, and dinner was already over, we were literally 10-15 minutes late. and they took away all the food in front of our noses. We began to explain the situation to the same waiters, they categorically did not want to listen, there was one answer “ah moment”, which meant fuck off, your problems. My friend and I raised such a scandal, because. we were literally a minute late. 10, the tables are full of food, but they don’t give food. It all ended with the fact that we were brought soup, bread and tea, all the cooks and waiters were raised to their ears, and the reception ordered a restaurant for us. But everything worked out, we ate soup, became kinder and didn’t swear anymore. From that day on, all the waiters treated us more respectfully. Get yours!
9. Entertainment. Everyone is their own director! I mean, if you want to know the country, you will go on any excursions. Every day I had planned where I was going, what time, what kind of excursion. There was not a single day for a respite (I rested for 10 days) and then I did not go on all the excursions that were offered. YES and more, my friend and I took these same excursions on the street and believe me, no worse than in a hotel. We took only one at the hotel. There are Russian-speaking guides everywhere, but…. . we agreed on this right away, as well as the price in other matters, and no one deceived us (I remind you that we did not know languages, and the Turks did not know Russian, they spoke on the finger) !!!! ! For some excursions that we took on the street, we paid half, and the other half stalemate. I will pick you up from the hotel, they will feed you on the way, they will bring you to the hotel, full service. So, you need to take a tour not in a hotel (which is 2-2.5 times more expensive), but on the street, you will save a lot on this!!!!! ! And yet - no one will entertain you, if you want a holiday - arrange it yourself!

10. I was very pleased with the rest and the hotel. A bunch of memories, impressions. So I can say that this is a good hotel, but not 5 *, but I think they will achieve this in the near future! It's worth relaxing in!
