At the hotel:

Trouble, not rest.
We visited in mid-September 2018. We arrived. At the reception, having seen Russian passports, we were greeted in Turkish-German.) We ended up talking in English.) I immediately put 20 bucks in the passport, the Turkish blonde from the reception, seeing them, spoke passable Russian.)
Gave a "good" standard room. Here, pay attention, you can get into trouble and ruin your entire vacation.(
If you can sleep with any noise, crackling and “running tractor” under your window, then you can safely go to any room. The rooms are all normal, comfortable, everything works, there are blankets. The windows of our room (land view) were adjacent to neighboring hotel and between them the hotel generators stood and worked.
They work 24 hours. They are never turned off!
Also below is the hotel's garbage dump, which garbage trucks regularly come to empty. Lukoil cars arrive and fill up huge gas tanks under the hotel windows... and our balcony.
Photo attached. She also uploaded the video to a well-known resource. I do not provide a link, according to the rules of this resource.
Everything on top is modestly covered with a lid, but what a noise it is, especially at night!!! The noise at night increases 3-4 times, unfortunately I didn’t know this before, I didn’t have to check in(
And so we arrived in mid-September to breathe the air in a 5* hotel, but it turned out that we live in a constantly functioning technical area. (
It is not possible to open the balcony at night due to the noise of these generators.
After surviving one night, I went to the reception.
They only spoke to me in Turkish. They even forgot English overnight.)
The hotel has overbooking. My issue was resolved in two hours.
They promised to change it and...they called yesterday's Turkish blonde. When I came to the reception for the hundred and fifty-fifth time, I was told, no big deal, live where you live or 20 euros for each day and you’ll get it in 3-4 days, we have overbooking.
So they remained...
It’s +20 outside at night, and we close the balcony, turn on the air conditioning +27 and sleep. There’s no other way (Breathe some air.
Bottom line. If you go to this hotel, take rooms only for the pool and make sure that all this is written down in the voucher. They are very cunning there and very focused on money.
With me, instead of a family room, people were settled next to us and on our side. The blonde told me about it herself. I checked later.) They really became our neighbors for some time.
And one more thing. The hotel is geared towards Germans, but English is present. As it turned out later, many waiters speak Russian. But the reception simply does not want to speak to you in your language.
When the Turkish blonde and I were discussing where to put me so that sleep would be even possible, I asked her, why don’t you speak Russian to me?
There was a withering look and the answer - I don’t speak Russian.
But yesterday I said that...))) Prepare 20 bucks, comrades, if you want to conduct a dialogue in your own language) Why invite guests from Russia if we are not nice to you? When booking a hotel, nationality is always indicated. Isn’t it easier to recruit only Germans and coo with them, extorting a couple of euros from them?)
There are no economy rooms on the hotel website, only standard and family rooms are listed there. But! The hotel has economy. It's underground, there are several rooms, just sleep in the arms of generators and a garbage truck.) I really regret that I chose this hotel, but I had a choice! I thought new hotel, they made everything comfortable, but it turned out to be simply dangerous to be there, let alone relax. I ruined my and my husband's vacation.(
Cleaning.
Cleaning in the rooms is ok. The refrigerator is replenished regularly. The balcony is wiped down and the dust is brushed away. No complaints here. Sometimes the dear girl gave money to our maid.
Food.
A colorful chef is in charge of everything! Nairaaaaaaaay, a la Slava Zaitsev. I liked the way they fed me. There is always a lot of everything, satisfying, there is meat, there is also fish, grilled every evening and everyone will find something to suit their taste. Ice cream was ceremoniously brought out once a week, sushi was made once (not tasty, but they did it as best they could). The cakes are delicious, although the same type. The plates are always clean and the smart chef is always there. In principle, you can always find a table, although there are a lot of people. We went a la carte, it wasn’t tasty, we didn’t go again. That’s where all the good things end.
The toilets near the restaurant were not always clean. And about children's pool where the stage is, it’s just a disaster. There, apparently, we caught a virus that caused us to choke for 2 weeks, not counting the runny nose. Just now, at home already
within a week, they were cured.
The hotel was 90% European and approximately 10% Russian speaking. Europeans were different. There were Russian Germans (they left in the 90s) who pretended to be purebred Aryans.) In front of strangers and staff they spoke only German. When there are people around you, slowly in Russian (hug and cry, people without a homeland).
There were real Germans, Poles, Bosnians, British, Turks and it’s not clear yet who...
When the Belarusian brothers arrived, it became easier to breathe and life became more fun. There were also citizens of Ukraine.
European children and youth were simply amazed. Barefoot from the pool to the dirty toilet, and then back to the pool. Barefoot! Old German women disgustedly went to the hotel, and these... We caught an infection (like whooping cough) in the pool. Next time I'll take more Russian hotel. Our mothers, of course, go through life very distorted, but in terms of cleanliness they have no price.
The hotel has no territory, absolutely none. There is a 30-meter alley between the pools to the exit and that’s it. They even made a bar above the pool to save space. Everything closes at 11pm. But there is night soup from 23-24). It's not comfortable there at all. You need to run to the lobby (12 to 17) to get a cookie. For tea, go to the bar on the second floor, and then after collecting everything you can go to the pool. There is no tea at the pool bar, no cookies either (I didn’t like the structure of this hotel. It’s obvious that they are trying to save money on everything. At first there was no animation at all. Then the animators showed up and began to slowly get promoted. When we left, even guest artists appeared. A very boring hotel. If If you don’t have a promenade outside the hotel, you’ll die of boredom, only very elderly Germans always playing cards. Young people were hanging out somewhere outside. Children’s animation was not noticed even in embryo.
If you are a fan of not leaving the hotel building at all, then this is the place for you.
The sea is wonderful, sandy and shallow. There are never any sunbeds.
But by paying the beach boy on the beach you will have a sunbed.) But give us the money quietly, he hides the fact that he is engaged in the illegal trade of sunbeds.)
By the way, it’s easier to find a sun lounger by the pool...and it’s free, but you have to carry everything yourself and open an umbrella too...there are not enough staff.
The number of people smoking was amazing. Everyone smokes, young and old. My husband and I smoke the same thing, but this is the first time I’ve seen anything like that, and that’s why the beach area is dirty.
We didn't drink alcohol. My husband took the beer a couple of times and said it wasn’t tasty. A converted truck drives to the beach, supposedly it goes according to a schedule, but in reality it suits the people. It takes about 7-10 minutes to walk. It's hard in the heat, especially with children.
I wish everyone a good next summer and the right comfortable hotels. Don't repeat our mistake and everything will be fine. By the way, I sent a complaint to the company that sent us and to the hotel, but they all sent us together, because it was the salvation of drowning people..(

This great place for those who want to have a quality rest and get a sea of ​​unforgettable and vivid impressions.
