Everything is great but price of rooms are a bit higher. Could be 10 to 20% lower. Atleast they could include one boat ride with the room just as they give one complimentary flying theater. Also the shuttle service from harbor building to theater building is mostly not available we stayed 2 days & never saw & use the shuttle except we had to walk except reception says you will get it on these times & when we went there on such times they were nowhere to be found
It is a very beautiful place that adorns Turkestan. The theatrical performance is at the highest level, there is no such thing even in Europe. Thanks to the akimat of the Turkestan region, who were able to organize and arrange a canal with boats, restore the mausoleum of Yassaui and were able to rebuild the nearby squares and singing fountains. Thanks to Shukeev and the subsequent akims for the wonderful new Turkestan. The Akimat needs to work out and develop a tourism program for guests from other countries, such beauty should be shown and advertised to the whole world.
"Karavansaray Harbor" is an oriental fairy tale.
The room price included - free access to the hammam, steam room, Finnish sauna. There is also a free voucher for visiting the flying theater;
- The hotel upgraded the room category from Family to Harbor for free (without balcony);
- The room is large, clean, new, beautiful. Comfortable, modern, upholstered furniture. Clean bed linen, soft pillows;
- The designer's work is visible even by the combination of colors and fabrics on the sofa cushions (not to mention the interior of the hotel itself);
- Buffet breakfast was included in the room rate (there were mantas, hazelnuts, cashews ..., not to mention everything, an abundance of delicious food, fruits and vegetables);
- Wi-fi catches on the territory of a large Caravan complex even on the street;
- Daily scheduled shows at the exit of the hotel in the harbor;
- Impeccable service. They asked for water, since they hadn't cleaned yet in the morning - they brought it in 20 minutes.
P.S.
Taxi prices in Turkestan are also "fabulous".
1. On October 31, Yandex taxi was ordered from the airport (arrival at 13-15) to the Caravanserai, for 3110 tenge. The trip is about 25 minutes, there are no traffic jams, the road is excellent, new. We paid online. There was an offer to evaluate the trip. But today I found out that this order is no longer in the order history!
2. On the same day, we ordered a Yandex taxi to the Arystanbaba mausoleum for 9670 tenge. The driver was waiting at the bottom of a large complex, although the Harbor Hotel was indicated by order, and the driver could not help but know where the entrance and reception of the hotel were. A paid wait began, not knowing where to look for the driver, unsuccessfully tried to cancel the trip several times. We called the driver, and at the mention of the refusal, the driver immediately drove up and was found. The trip started because the program still gave an error to cancel the order. Upon clarification, the driver announced the amount of the order, taking into account the expectation - 9820 tenge. I asked if it was possible to book a return trip, since the Altel network was no longer catching. The driver replied that half an hour of waiting would cost 5,000 tenge, and the way back would cost us 10,000 tenge (that is, the total amount is 25,000 tenge). They paid 10,000 tenge for an hour's drive and refused.
The return trip from the holy place cost us only 1000 tenge per person by passing car (!). And in the history of Yandex orders, this trip is worth as excellent as 1300 tenge!
