The worst hotel I've ever been in. I checked in this evening, on October 4, with a young family and a child.
I was given a room on the 1st floor. When I entered the room, the smell of urine and dampness pierced me. I opened the balcony, which is on the same level with the ground, the smell of the room was filled with the smell of sewage, the noise of buzzing air conditioners of the neighboring hotel, which is located six meters from the balcony, plus, on the ground floor of the neighboring hotel there are utility rooms in which constant work is carried out and the noise of a laundress and carts. The room itself is with an old sloppy renovation. Naturally, I went to the reception and asked for a replacement. I was told that there were no available rooms, but as an exception and only for me, I was offered a room on the 4th floor on the same side for an additional fee of $ 10 per night, in short, for my 11 days I was offered to pay $ 100, so they also made a discount)). Okay, I went up to that room to look at it. The room turned out to be exactly the same, only it smelled strongly of chemicals, it was already hard to breathe to knock down foreign odors. Having opened the balcony, the same noise of air conditioners, etc., the smell of sewage from the street. I asked for a room on the other side of the building, but there were no vacancies. I decided to stay in the original room, because I didn't know what to pay 100 bucks extra. Later, they lowered the price to $ 50, but I still refused. Yes, that room was quite a bit cleaner and smelled less of sewage on the balcony, since it was higher, but in principle the same thing.
In my room, the smell gradually became less (or I just got used to it) :)) The lamp next to the bed turned on every other time (after a few days it stopped working altogether). A couple with a child also did not like the room, they decided it for a long time at the reception, and they were eventually given a room on the other side (for a fee or not, I do not know). Due to their child's illness, they really needed a well-functioning refrigerator, but they were not satisfied with refrigerators in all rooms. My refrigerator worked more or less, and it didn't matter to me, and we decided to exchange)).
I didn't like the food at the hotel at all. It's always the same fried fish. Only chicken legs are made of meat. Nuggets and potatoes. Turkey shanks used to be served. Salads are standard - peppers , tomatoes and cucumbers . Fresh greens were available. There were pickles.
The fruits are the same- apples, tangerines, oranges and bananas. Old coffee machines. Tea is only black, and I'm not a fan of black tea, so I had to buy tea for myself at the store. Green and herbal tea bags were placed on the lobby bar a couple of times, but this was only twice in 11 days. Wi-Fi is free on site, but it is at a very low speed, at which even text messages in messengers take a long time to send and receive. You will get tired of uploading photos and pictures. There is also a paid Wi-Fi for $ 3 per day per device, which I had to purchase in order to be in touch. He worked normally, but only in the hotel building, he no longer wanted to connect to the beach. The beach is not bad, but even at this time, at the end of the season, all the sun beds were occupied, but at the same time I always found one free for myself. The animation in the hotel is weak. In general, the hotel saves on everything that is possible. There is nowhere to walk around the hotel, there is no infrastructure, to go to the nearest city of Belek by bus number 22 for 20 minutes, but it turned out to be empty and abandoned, it has one Waikiki store and tents with Chinese goods. a little further away, on the same route there is a famous water park. The bus fare is $ 1. It is a pity that I read reviews only on the tour operator's website, on Google and some other sites, this hotel has a low rating, and good reviews are written by the hotel administration. Read about him on Google, there are all the same reviews as mine.
Nice hotel, delicious food, great pool. Gorgeous sea, all inclusive, Relax on your health, I would go again! In the evening, the animators entertain the kids, great!
