In terms of price-service ratio, I put 4 stars, but objectively 4 with a minus, there are very pleasant moments at the hotel, and there are just useless ones.
We had a rest from September 8th to 17th.
I'll start with the pros:
- stunning view from the balcony of the green mountains and a little bit of the sea (booked a room with a sea view)
-the room is spacious and quite freshly renovated
- friendly reception and the opportunity to communicate in Russian
- delicious food, although the choice is small, there is always meat or chicken, for dinner and lunch there are watermelons, melons, pears, plums
- the bar and pool area also overlooks magnificent mountain panoramas
- polite staff
Cons:
- a meager, meager breakfast, there is not even fruit, eggs, sliced cheese, sausage, four days later rolls or a pancake
- they do not give out bottled water, pour it only in the lobby bar (again, the water just passes through the filter there)
- the beach is very small, with large pebbles, sun beds are close to each other, occupy early in the morning, during high tides the entire beach is almost in the water
- there is no hot water at times, they say at the reception that the boilers do not have time to warm up
- room cleaning is infrequent, it's just taking out garbage and sweeping the floor without changing the linen
Turunch is described as a quiet, sparsely populated place, but in September there are a huge number of people in the village. The most pleasant thing is the local beauty of nature, we took sea trams to the neighboring bays, Amos and Kulumbluk, there is clean water and few people!
We were from 29/09 to 07/10/2024.
The village of Turunch itself left an extremely positive impression, which is not to say about the hotel.
The village is quiet and small, the main audience is British. All prices in the shops are in pounds. In Migros, they calmly accept euros and dollars, and the change is in lira.
Hotel. A maximum of 3 stars. Everything is very tired. Sea view is either a view of the bar or the roof. Good view only on the upper floors.
The beach is a part of a public beach plus a wooden platform. Everything on the shore is flooded with water. The sea is clean, there are convenient access ramps. On the third day, we accidentally swam to Amos Beach and did not go to the hotel beach again. Amos is a fairy tale- the boat departs at 10 a.m. and takes you back at 5 p.m. There are no people, it's beautiful, the day flies by unnoticed.
Restaurant+bar. I tried wine in a restaurant, but I can't drink it. I tried the wine at the bar, the same way. Wine was bought in Migros all the days. The breakfast is ordinary, meager. Every day closer to the end of the race (ours was the last one of the season), there wasn't even an omelet once or twice. By the end, there was nothing meaty either. Most likely, because the day after our departure, the hotel closed for winter holidays.
The audience. Russians and Poles. Generally tolerable.
In the village, the audience is 80% British. There are few Russians and Poles, locals, and once we met 404s.
Conclusion. The settlement is definitely yes, especially with trips to Amos. The hotel is absolutely not.
Score 3***, only for the beautiful Turunchus + Amos., so it would be less.
We had a rest with a girl at the Meric hotel from 1.09 to 11.09, lived on the 5th floor. The view from the balcony was amazing of Turunchu and the mountains. We are very satisfied with our stay at this hotel, I liked everything, initially I want to thank the Russian-speaking employee at the reception, Galiya, very attentive, responsive, always helps everyone in all matters. The room is cleaned and towels are changed daily. The food in the restaurant was good, there is always something to choose from. No one left hungry. The sea is gorgeous. Thanks for the rest!
