Vacation in July 2023.
A wonderful hotel.The territory is very beautiful and green, it looks very stylish, each location is like a picture on Instagram.
The staff is trying very hard, especially I want to highlight the Russian-speaking girl Diana (guest relation) and the lifeguard uncle from the zen garden beach (very cute).
The room was in a bungalow at Zen garden, it seems like these are updated rooms, but I would not say that it looks new, there are scuffs somewhere, etc.But not critically. On the second day, the light broke, they came, they fixed it in 40 minutes. Then a day later the hair dryer burned down, they also came to fix it.
There was no noise from the road in my room, but in the evening there was a disco from a nearby hotel, yes, they were banging all over the neighborhood, but in the room itself it was not so audible, or I did not pay attention.
A cake and wine were brought to the room for the birthday, but unfortunately after the reminder))And in the evening, for some reason, no one speaks Russian at the reception, but Google translator helps))
The Internet worked well throughout the territory, but there were some failures for two days and it was not there for 3-4 hours, this is of course quite a serious inconvenience
.And a couple of times the lights went out on the territory for a couple of minutes.
The food is delicious, the meat is cooked just great, and I'm a big fan of meat) one day it just wasn't very good, as far as I understood the cook was different, but in general the nutrition is even better than in more expensive hotels where I was. Every day there are seafood, shrimp, crayfish, one day there were oysters, sushi, etc. With the girls we met there, we were always surprised where people usually eat, who write reviews that the food is so-so.
You can also have lunch on the menu at the snack restaurant, it's also very tasty there, especially burgers)) In general, in all cafes and bars, the order is by QR code, it is convenient and you can see the menu and not go far. But I ordered to the beach once, and they never brought it.Then I saw others still wearing it.
Drinks in general are not bad, you need to choose what is to your taste and which bar makes it better)For example, I liked mojito in the piano bar, and pina colada in the beach bar)
The beaches are cool, there are a lot of places, you don't lie next to people. The entrance to the sea is a little rocky, but in principle it's not scary. But the water is crystal clear, warm, and the fish are swimming.The sea and the beach in general, without comments, are ideal.
Animation in the evenings, not bad, live music, there were acrobats once.After the disco.There are piano performances in the piano bar.
Well, the biggest plus is, there are no children, no one is yelling, relaxation, you can find a secluded place everywhere. During the day, you don't even feel that there are people in the hotel. Only in the evening you see them mostly))
An unpleasant moment was associated with Turkish Airlines.The flight was delayed for 11 hours. And if it had been known in advance, but in the end I had to walk for 13 hours at the airport without the Internet, since I couldn't connect even for money. In Starbucks, if you buy more than 15 euros, they give you a Wi-Fi connection for an hour.
After 4 hours, representatives of the airline issued a bottle of water for a ticket, after 6 hours, shawarma, French fries and water were also issued on tickets.That's all, we couldn't provide a hotel, and neither could the Internet. And they didn't seem particularly worried.
Water at the airport costs 2.5 euros.And in general, all prices are now in euros, I was surprised, because in 21 years when we were in Turkey, there were still dollars)
According to the comments of the hotel:
1. The backlight in the room is cool, but I would like ordinary light so that I don't look in the mirror in the dark) I would also like a full-length mirror, because when you're alone, you don't even know what you look like entirely)Well, in the bathroom, you would also make an ordinary mirror, not a tinted one. It is not possible to make up. There is a small cosmetic, but it is at such a level that, with my height, I had to lift my head and hold it like that until you put on makeup.
2. Well, for the restaurant-you can indicate on the plates for the dishes, if it is spicy.Because it happened that you take kebabs or seafood, it's very tasty, and the next day you take them, but they are spicy, but let's say this is not allowed for the stomach.
In general, the rest was a success and I even plan to go to the same hotel next year, although I usually like variety.
Very close to the sea, private beach, varied food, in reasonable quantity, but not delicious desserts. There is a small selection of cocktails and they are not very good. The staff speaks English from water polo and darts activities, and the volleyball court is closed. There are no hygiene items in the rooms. The territory is beautiful, but it is difficult to get to the city. To visit the shopping center, you need to take a taxi or take 2-3 hours by bus. The main disadvantage is the Pebbles at the entrance to the sea, it is very unpleasant.
Let's start with the pros
1)Super comfortable transfer from the airport. We visited only two hotels.They took some of them back at all!
2)Warm sea,two beaches,two swimming pools
3)Delicious cocktails
4)Huge and beautiful territory,very well maintained
5) There are no children
6)There are also no annoying people who cram excursions in
7) Rooms are cleaned in a timely manner!
8) Friendly staff (except for one man, I'll tell you about the cons)
9) I really liked that there is always a doctor and an ambulance on duty at the hotel, I have not seen this in hotels. I overheated a little in the sun, the doctor was immediately called at the reception, he came in a couple of minutes and examined me, for free!
10)There are always sun beds both on the beach and by the pool
Now the cons
1)The biggest disadvantage of this hotel that we have identified is the attitude towards Russians WHEN CHECKING IN!
We booked a bungalow overlooking the garden.We arrived early, and check-in at 2. We immediately offered to allocate a TEMPORARY room for money.We agreed and went to watch. The room was very similar in design to ours, but I repeat, we have a bungalow, not a room. There was a terrible smell of sewage, and there was urine near the room! Before we could recover from the shock, we received a call from the reception and said that this would now be our room and there would be no replacement after two!! Without hesitation, we immediately went to the reception.I had to say menacingly, "This is not what we booked and we will not live in this room, this is not a bungalow" No one argued with us and settled in a bungalow.
2) It is stated that the beaches are sandy and pebbly, but I would not say so) the sand is only there by the sunbeds, huge pebbles, not very pleasant
3)The food is monotonous, there is a problem with breakfast in general
Otherwise, I liked everything, we recommend the hotel only to those who want a relaxing holiday, because there is no movement here and only pensioners 😀
