Good afternoon, everyone!
So our family vacation with my husband in Turkey, Gumbet province, Ladonia del Mare hotel is coming to an end, and what can I say, guys, this is not the declared 4*, but a solid 2* at most, it doesn't even pull for 3*, much to our regret:(
The territory is very small, everything is burnt out (I don't know why you can't at least water plants dying in front of your eyes at night / in the evenings), as for entertainment and animation (some reviews say they are) I don't know, we haven't seen this in a week, we haven't heard 😂 only dancing between our local aunts))).
Food / bar - yes, I will not argue with previous reviews here - you will not starve from the word at all, but do not expect frills either (grilled fish was once, it seems on Friday) the rest of the days chicken, meat, well, very average.. but the truth is, you have breakfast, lunch (aka lunch), snack bar (these are burgers, French fries, pizza), cookies from 5 to 6, and dinner, of course (it is unlikely that you will lose weight). Yes, by the way, I will not scold the bar (my husband says, write mediocre "local pour"😂 do not expect something elite and imported.
Guys, I'll write right away what scares you!!! - this is a complete unsanitary situation (honestly), I took only disposable dishes for the whole vacation, fortunately they put disposable spoons / forks)) and so they wash, of course - they don't wash from the word!! dishes in general ((not to mention, sorry, about the toilets at the reception and cleaning the room (this must be seen, there are no words).
Yes, this is probably the only plus that there is here.👍 Very warm, clean (nice cove)). The hotel is on the first line, there are sun beds, umbrellas (the truth is also so-so, there are very few shadows from them, even smeared with cream to the ears with my husband). Towels are provided until 11:00. The pool is (one) small, and, of course, packed with people.
By the way, I will not scold the wi-fi Internet either, it is at the reception, bar, recreation area next to the pool, and even you go out to the sea, it pulls.
The attitude towards us is very average (even I would say 👎). There are few Russians, as we understood, the hotel is for locals. In general, honestly, I do not recommend it. I am attaching a photo.
Price and quality match. The food is decent, European-style. The staff is trying hard. He is learning Russian. The animation is light, as promised. But we weren't bored. It was a great company. They entered the sea in shales. Towels and a safe are free of charge. It is better to take excursions from an animator or on the street. Much cheaper. I really liked it. I want to go back
Terrible hotel. It is completely unclear why Russian tour operators sell it as a 4*. Perhaps once upon a time he corresponded to this rating, now he pulls a maximum of 2 *. And the rooms, and the reception, and the restaurant, and in general the whole territory just screams about the need for some kind of renovation.
As already written in other reviews, the air conditioner does not work at the reception, it is very stuffy and smells like cat urine, because cats walk around here like at home. There is no early check-in, check-in has to wait until 14 (but at check-out the room was extended without any problems, not for free, of course). Wi-Fi is only available at the reception and in the common area near the pool and restaurant. Sometimes he barely finishes off in the rooms. There is also no bar in the lobby anymore, just a lone cooler with water. In the evening, even a huge chandelier (with plafonds for some reason resembling rubber products No. 2 in shape) it is not burning at full strength, but only one tier. The elevator is not working. Luggage before check-in is offered to be left right in the corridor, on the word of honor of the administrator, there is no question about the luggage room.
The furniture in the rooms is old and shabby. The upholstery of upholstered furniture made of leatherette is peeling off, on the countertops made of stones (I don't know really, real or artificial) there are indelible traces of glasses. The laminate is scratched and scuffed, the baseboards are torn off somewhere. There was no light bulb in the lamp at the entrance. We counted three broken switches in the room, apparently at the best of times there was some kind of backlight and the lamps on the balcony worked. At first, we were given a room in which there were no handles on the closet, the safe was broken, and there were no towel hooks in the bathroom. After the intervention of the hotel guide, the room was changed on the second day. The bathroom has dirty tiles with mold, a broken countertop under the sink. After sunset, you will wash with lukewarm water. Towels with stains and holes. Fortunately, the bed linen is clean.
There is no kettle or glasses in the room. There's not even a toothbrush cup in the bathroom. I'm not talking about slippers and bathrobes at all.
One of the advantages is the hotel on the first line, from some rooms you can even see the sea. The beach is small, but surprisingly there were no problems with free sun loungers. But the beach seems to be the dirtiest in the whole bay, for 10 days no one has ever removed the garbage from the sand. The neighboring hotel cleaned up the garbage on its piece every day. Beach towels give you clearly one thing in hand, only in the morning. And the guy who gives them out is not always there, because he also cleans the floors at the reception and checks that the sun beds on the beach are not occupied by guests from other hotels.
Food can also be counted as a plus. At first we were upset - the distribution is very small, the choice is meager, but the food is quite tasty. By sparingly, I mean that for lunch you will most likely be offered one type of side dish and two types of hot, vegetables, pickles and five types of dessert, for breakfast an omelet or pancakes are not prepared every day. Fruits are only for dinner, usually watermelon and nectarines or apples or plums. The alcohol is surprisingly decent enough, but of course locally produced.
On the websites of tour operators, you can find beautiful photos with a restaurant almost on the beach by the sea, in fact, there is none of this. The restaurant may have been there once, but now it's just a broken gazebo where they give out beach towels and an abandoned tandoor. The tennis court doesn't seem to be working either.
The hotel staff speaks very little English, there is only one Russian-speaking receptionist at the reception.
There is no animation (we didn't need it, but maybe it's important to someone). And judging by the photos from the tour operator, she was there once after all.
As they say, think for yourself, decide for yourself, but the hotel is clearly going through hard times and is trying to squeeze at least something out of the remnants of former luxury.
They sold the hotel as a 4*, but in fact there are no stars on the sign of the hotel itself, and in fact there are none. The service corresponds to the absence of stars. They settled into a smoky room, where almost everything is broken and the view of the barbed wire, the balcony is one name, there is only 1m × 50 cm to stand there , There is nowhere to dry things. Everything that is stated in the list of shampoo gel, etc. is missing, there is only liquid soap, all requests to replace the room were completely ignored, even with the help of a guide.The food is peculiar, focused only on Turkish tourists, everything is spicy , fried . The dishes are dirty. Fruits in limited quantities and only for dinner (watermelon, green plums). Only the maid and the technician deserve kind words . The sea is dirty , entering the sea without corals is extremely difficult, the beach is not cleaned, the sun beds and mattresses are dirty. I would like to note the work of Adeon's guides,the escort from and to the hotel does their job well, but the hotel guide Anastasia is completely not aimed at working with people, complete disregard, tourists who bought vouchers for less than 300 thousand are not people for her, you mean, they will make it clear to you that this is an elite resort and how you got here is not clear. The rest ended with severe poisoning not only for me but also for my friends. Think carefully before you fly here, there are budget hotels much better.
There are advantages (quick check-in, no deposit beach towels) but there are also disadvantages (a small very dirty beach, huge dogs on the beach, not much choice in the restaurant, there is no Russian-speaking staff, in general, a double impression, rather I do not recommend
Все неоднозначно..
В целом - персонал отеля очень старается создать доброжелательную атмосферу, приготовить вкусную еду и тд.
Но у них не всегда получается …😃
Например, при заселении нам застелили грязное серо- синее белье (вместо белого)
Пляж отеля - никакой
Есть настольный теннис- сломан.
По территории ползает милая черепашка - это плюс , но также бегают собаки и купаются вместе с отдыхающими в море.
В целом , мы приноровились, ходили на другой пляж, очень классное место Roys beach!
Вай фай ловит плохо , только в лобби, поэтому кому нужен интернет - ходите в кафешки, либо покупайте симку.
В целом если хотите дешево сьездить - можно выбрать данный отель.
Месторасположение отличное - рядом с центром Бодрума, можно дойти пешком -20-30 мин.
Прекрасное место и хороший отель,красивая местность, есть что посмотреть на экскурсиях, в июне немного прохладное море-Егейское,но когда на улице 38 градусов жары,море очень бодрит,берите с собой обувь для плавания,берег песчаный,на дне моря камни,что ещё написать,шведский стол,никто голодным не останется, в течение дня ещё предлагают и картофель фри и пиццу,и гамбургеры, выпечку,разные напитки,все включено,большой и чистый бассейн,в номерах каждый день моют полы и меняют полотенца,все прекрасно
We went to the Ladonia del mare hotel from October 3 to 11, our flight was delayed for 16 hours, so initially there was a feeling that we would not be satisfied with anything. We arrived at the hotel at 2:00 and were immediately met by the receptionist, settled us in a room on the ground floor. We really did not like it, there was dirt and the balcony was not closed, but surprisingly, we were offered a lot of rooms to choose from and without extra charges!! As a result, we chose a wonderful room on the second floor. The air conditioning is working, the cleaning is good, the only shower is flowing. Beautiful view of the city from the room, photo attached.
The territory of the hotel is large, there are a lot of cats walking around it, we so understood it in the whole city, because street dogs and cats can be found absolutely everywhere. They don't touch anyone, so we didn't worry too much. The staff is very good, but don't count on your Russian too much, even not everyone understands English)
There are a lot of reviews about the food that it is not delicious, but it is just for an amateur. We always found something to eat, even though I'm picky. Chicken and fish are made of meat, other meat looks delicious, but to taste. We tried cocktails from alcohol - pinacolada, Tea, coffee is also very tasty.
The most important thing is the sea, it is cool, although we swam constantly. The entrance is rocky, it's a bit painful to walk🫣
The water is clear, everything is clean and pleasant, I definitely liked everything here. The pool is very clean, the sun beds around are comfortable and you can always find free ones.
The territory of the hotel is green, clean.
The night view of the glowing Gumbet is simply amazing, we were very hooked 😍
The Internet is bad, catches only at the reception, and in the evenings will not ship anything because of the number of people in the lobby.
The hotel fully justifies its 4 stars, we really enjoyed our stay in it, the staff is simply amazing, they will always help with everything, say hello and talk🥰
Of course, it is possible that it is boring to stay in the hotel all the time, so I advise you to walk in the evenings, there is a lot of everything nearby from souvenir shops and grocery stores to the most beautiful sights🗺️
We have never regretted that we chose this hotel 🫶
First and foremost: does not match 4*. Maximum 3*) and then... the territory is small, the beach is sand with pebbles (it is not comfortable without corals), the food is meager and of the same type, the staff does not speak Russian (English is difficult), the bus does not approach the hotel, you need to walk along the bruschatka to and from, composition: 98% of elderly Europeans). Pros: clean beds, regularly cleaned, clean pool, good alcohol (gin, wine, beer). The overall result: the price for it is overstated)
Отдыхали в отеле в 20 году, разгар пандемии. Отель понравился. Пляж небольшой, но места всем хватало. Виды из отеля изумительные. Кухня хорошая. До центра Бодрума - 20 минут пешком. Испортил жизнь кондиционер, текущий прямо в кровать. Кровать подвинули и не захлебнулись.
Заезд с 09 по 16 июня 2022. Всё понравилось. В Бодруме были второй раз, искали отель поближе к центру, чтобы добраться самостоятельно (маршрутка (5 лир/чел наличными) до автобусного терминала Otogar до центра Бодрума останавливается около отеля Siesta Beach (возле знака D), делает круг по Гюмбету и едет на автовокзал, с которого отходят частные маршрутки Havas/Mutas до аэропорта Милас, проезд 45 лир/чел).
Номер 116 на первом этаже. Были два момента по номеру (фен и душ, не сообразили, как включить), на ресепшен ребята быстро реагируют на любые вопросы. С душем и феном разобрались в день заезда. Полотенец сразу выдали столько, что хватило бы на неделю, но их меняли каждый день. Уборка была хорошая, вне зависимости от чаевых. Меняли также и постельное бельё. В 5*, в которой мы ранее были, была более посредственная уборка. Лежаков хватало и у бассейна и на пляже, ажиотажа вообще не заметили, были свободные места в любое время, хотя постояльцев было много.
Кормили вкусно, всё свежее (конечно, ассортимент скормнее, чем в 5*) повара на каждом приёме пищи присутствовали, спрашивали, понравилось ли еда и что добавить в меню. Перекусы после обеда тоже были (турецкие булочки или печенья-рогалики, булочки с кунжутом), всегда на них попадали, выдавали на второй кухне ближе к пляжу или в баре у бассейна.
Пляж с заходом в море с камнями, я купила тапочки для плавания и много купалась. Мужчины сразу далеко отплывали без тапочек.
Территория большая, зелёная, ухоженная. Дважды видели черепашек (большую и маленькую).
Анимация более спокойная, (думаю, это особенность Бодрума, вся движуха на улице с клубами и ресторанами и на набережной, а в отелях не заморачиваются с увеселением). В воскресенье был праздничный концерт (танцы), в остальные дни была просто музыка, в обед ребята играли в водное поло и настольные игры.
Из минусов: уставшая мебель, слабый Wi-Fi в лобби (после смены провайдера интернет был даже в номере, видео загружались).
Вернулась бы ли я за такую цену? Однозначно, да.
Отель нормальный. В него меня переселили после другого просто ужасного отеля и по сравнению с тем отелем, этот очень даже неплохой. В номерах чисто, просторно. Убирают регулярно, у меня убирали аж два раза в день. Просторная территория, есть пляж, бассейн, фитнес-зал, хамам, врач в кабинете, теннисный корт, бар. Единственное, есть мне было нечего, так как мясо я не ем, а рыбы не было. А одни овощи и арбуз я есть не могу. Приходилось ходить в рестораны да свой счёт. И котов с собаками очень много. Но в целом, неплохо.
Отдых в сентябре 2021 года.
Отель на 4 звезды (как продавал Coral) не тянет совсем.
Отель уставший, наш номер был совсем убитый.
Плюсы: персонал очень старается угодить; близость к морю; мало купающихся.
Минусы:
зонтиков на пляже на всех не хватает, их занимают аж с 7 утра; пляжные полотенца могут не достаться;
очень узкая береговая/пляжная линия, много бродячих собак, которые лают на всех, кто мимо проходит;
Номер у нас был просто убитый, даже описывать не хочется... Простыни иногда были с дырками... Хлев, одним словом.
Персонал ни по-русски, ни по-английски...
Еда очень посредственная, очереди в столовую (как можно это называть рестораном?) при ол-инклюзив ходили в Бодрум питаться. Обещанные закуски в баре между обедом и ужином то были, то нет.
Вайфай никакой.
В отеле, в основном, европейцы. Пенсионеры. Кто-то даже назвал этот отель домом престарелых.
После обеда с моря дует прохладный ветерок, который к вечеру усиливался, поэтому появлялись свободные места на пляже.
По пляжу бегают собаки , выгуливают лошадей , в море плавают гуси. Море грязное , пляж грязный , от ветра периодически падают зонты. Бодрум традиционное место отдыха турок всей страны.
