We rested from 17.09 to 23.09 , liked everything, yes , there are shortcomings, but we went to rest, not to look for cons, the rooms were clean enough, there were a couple of problems in the room, we did it in half an hour after contacting the reception , the staff is mostly Russian-speaking with rare exceptions, they cook delicious, even if not overly diverse, the territory is always they clean and keep it clean. They really do not bring water to the room, but this is not a problem, there are plenty of refrigerators with water at different points of the hotel, take as much as you want, bed linen will not be replaced without a request, but towels were changed daily, yes, there are shortcomings in cleanliness in the room, but if you do not find fault and do not look at everything under a microscope, then It is quite tolerable. The sea is clean, there are various pebbles, but my wife and I coped perfectly without aquataps, often large waves, so it won't be very comfortable with children.Every evening at 21:30 there are different shows and programs, in the afternoon there are different sports games to everyone's taste.The hotel really stands next to the road, and if you are not used to sleeping under the noise of the road, then you should ask the reception for a room with windows to the courtyard, it will be much quieter. In general, the hotel is not without drawbacks, but we went to rest and had a great rest, the cons were not significant for us, 5 with a minus.
Vacationed with my husband at this hotel in early August. A good hotel for a family holiday.There are few Russian vacationers , mostly Europeans .The staff is friendly, the rooms are cozy, the sea is clean, only the entrance to the sea is not very convenient, stones , pebbles. The food is varied , a lot of fish , a lot of fruits , cakes , pastries . There is a large swimming pool, there are two children's pools. Every day there are animations, children's and adult . Spa salon . Special thanks to Magi's girlfriend for a good massage and Fedi's manager. Bonus from the hotel, dinner at a seafood restaurant by the sea. There were also disadvantages , but we tried not to notice . We came for good emotions and we got them. A hotel for a relaxing family holiday 👍
I want to say right away that Euphoria Barbaross is a good enough hotel with an adequate price. Well, of course there are pros and cons
I rested with my mother from 09/19/24 to 10/01/24
We arrived at the hotel around 12 a.m., there were no empty rooms (we had a standard room), well, this is logical because check-in is at 14-00. The receptionist speaks good Russian at the reception. I asked for a room on the ground floor, as I was vacationing with an elderly mom. Leaving our suitcases at the reception, we were immediately put on bracelets and we could already enjoy all the benefits of the hotel. The lobby area is quite spacious, with a fresh renovation, comfortable sofas. There is also a bar with drinks, we took a non-alcoholic cocktail, which is very tasty by the way. We sat down, rested and went to lunch. Then we checked into the room. They gave me a room in a bungalow.
Next, I will try to describe in detail the points.
The room was standard, on the ground floor with a separate entrance and a small porch, on the porch there were two plastic chairs, a plastic small table, a clothes dryer and later a hotel trash can for the porch was brought). The room itself is very small, two separate beds on wheels that were constantly moving, on the day of arrival there was water, pepsi, sprite, fanta in the refrigerator. The mini bar was not replenished anymore, but it was not required, because bottled water is available throughout the hotel in unlimited and large access, which is very convenient in hot Turkey. The bathroom is very spacious. But we had a jamb with the bathroom door – it wouldn't close and the shower stall was leaking. But later everything was resolved through the GUEST reception desk (very quickly). In general, the hotel has a lot of well-wishers and friendly staff.
The repair is certainly not the first freshness, but very tolerable, there are minor scuffs on the doors and surfaces of the table and bedside tables. The sound insulation leaves much to be desired.
The bed linen is perfectly white, as are the towels. By the way, towels were changed every day, bed linen every other day. I stained the bedspreads, leaving 1 dollar for the maid, the bedspread was replaced with a clean one. The cleaning is not bad overall. I left tips three times during my stay. The air conditioner was used during the day, at night they just opened the window. Sometimes a mullah could be heard chanting from the mosque.
✔️ Food. This is generally a separate topic. Food is one of the greasy advantages of the hotel. You can eat almost around the clock. The food is varied, there is a fairly large selection, everything is always fresh. For breakfast - eggs, cereals, breakfast cereals, sausage, cheese, olives, vegetables, grilled vegetables, soups, many different types of bread, rolls, waffles, onions. An abundance of fruits – melon, watermelon, apples, pears, nectarines, plums, grapes, bananas, oranges.
For lunch and dinner there are always several types of meat, fish, again a lot of fruits, vegetables, sweets (my love is baklava of different types and a bunch of cakes and pies), different side dishes – rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, French fries, burgur.
Once we went on a Turkish night, once there was oriental cuisine and rolls, once there was a fish Thursday - shrimp, mussels.
All kinds of snacks, stews with vegetables, etc., etc.
On the territory of the dining room there is coffee from coffee machines, water. There is a juice vending machine, which looks more like compote and only at lunch + a bar of alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks.
✔️Bars. There are several of them on the territory.
Good quality alcohol. Wine (white, red, pink), crayfish, beer, baileys, gin, whiskey, champagne (maybe something else I just don't drink much). All kinds of cocktails, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
There is a milkshake machine in the snack bar. Pepsi, sprite, fanta, various packaged juices + different alcohol are also poured here. Burgers, French fries, and pizza are served at the snack bar at certain hours.
There is a bar 24/7. There is also a cafeteria where they brew wonderful Turkish coffee and of course my favorite Turkish sweets)
The beach bar also has water, juices, beer + snack bar (burgers, fries, pizza, shawarma) in short, a solid ass).
✔️ Territory. As for me, it is quite large, well-groomed (something is constantly being cut, swept, scrubbed), a beautiful palm alley with access to the beach. The seals that live on the territory of the hotel deserve special attention. Playful and affectionate fuzzies.
✔️The sea. It seems to me that this is why we come on vacation. Gorgeous, clean, warm, salty. For the whole time of rest, it was more or less calm, as for me. It was stormy on the last day. The bottom is quite rocky, but sometimes there were small pebbles. In general, corals will help you. It will be difficult without them).
✔️The beach. Finely pebbly. Wide, spacious - there have always been consolidated places on the sun beds + there are tables and small trash cans). Beach towels were issued by cards for free. It is convenient that there are no umbrellas on the beach, but an awning. We cleaned up the garbage several times a day, but people managed to get dirty.(Sorry for the jargon). There is a toilet, a shower and a changing room on the beach.
As I wrote above, you can have a snack on the beach, drink beer or juice.
There is one caveat – at six o'clock in the evening, a beach employee puts all the sunbeds on a string. They don't speak Russian and it's not entirely clear on the first day what they say and why they kick you out of the sunbed at six o'clock in the evening) if the sunbed is placed, for example, right next to the coastline).
There is also a lifeguard on duty at the beach. The animator invites you to play beach volleyball. There is also an opportunity to ride a camel or take a photo with exotic parrots, but for a fee.
Another undoubted and huge plus is unlimited ice cream during the day from 11 to 17 in the evening.
On the way to the beach, they also bake delicious gyuzleme tortillas (with potatoes, cheese, meat to choose from).
In general, you will definitely not become hungry))
✔️Animation. Every day there is some kind of entertainment program. Discos, karaoke, live music, imported shows (acrobats, circus performers, dance shows).
✔️Swimming pool. This point is not particularly important to me. I didn't come to the pool to swim, but to the sea. Although there are some highs here.
There are always some activities in the main pool during the day - water polo, aquagymnastics, obstacle racing, once there was a foam party. There is also a small pool with three slides. And another relaxation pool near the 24-hour bar)
✔️Cons. The toilets on the territory are not particularly clean and there is not always toilet paper. But this is most likely a question for the vacationer and a large number of tourists during this period. They also did not always have time to clean the tables (there were used glasses, napkins). After the rain (or maybe they were just hosed down), the chairs and tables were not wiped – they were very wet. When I came to the evening show, I had to look for napkins to wipe the chairs and sit comfortably at the tables.
It is stuffy in the dining room and the presence of a large number of flies. It is not particularly comfortable to accept writing in such conditions. The hotel needs to take care of the air conditioning system in the dining room and somehow get rid of the abundance of flies)
On the left side of the main building, it often stinks of sewage. This is probably the only thing that will significantly darken the impression of this hotel. Is it really impossible to do something about sewage treatment plants? (((
Summarizing all of the above, I still definitely recommend this hotel.
An excellent hotel in its price segment. Beautiful and well-maintained territory. Everything is conveniently located. The beach is gorgeous - the first line. The food is varied, delicious, and fresh. Alcohol is on the level. Wi-Fi is free throughout the territory and catches well. Only in some parts of the beach it falls off.(but on the first day we were connected to Wi-Fi only at 1600) it's weird)
- Therefore, despite the minor disadvantages, I will still give the hotel a top five, of course paying attention to the cost of the tour in comparison with similar hotels.
