Sofia, 25 years old: “When the vouchers were already on hand, I read a lot of negative reviews, but I had to go, in the end I did not regret it. The entrance to the sea is excellent, the five-year-old daughter swam without problems. The food is good, lots of cakes, there was nothing spoiled. The staff is friendly and ready to meet, but the evening shows for adults I did not really like, it’s a matter of taste, because some tourists were delighted.

Natalia, 32 years old: “I liked everything in general, especially the attentiveness of the staff. Waiters and maids cleaned everything on time, complimented, the child paid attention. Animators are generally a separate topic, the guys tried very hard not to let the guests get bored. Of course, there are some nuances, for example, a lot of desserts with semolina, but this did not spoil the rest. We had a great time, but we won’t be back because we want to go to a new place every time.”

We were checked in only four hours after arrival, but before that time they had already accepted us as guests of honor: they told us everything, sent us to the restaurant to eat, showed us the sea, so we did not get bored. Every day they gave out mineral water, cleaned on time, fed well. Alcohol is not bad, only white wine is not very good, but the beer is excellent. Animators try to lure to the shows, as well as participate in various competitions, but it did not bother. “

Bogdan, 34 years old: “Turkey is not the same as before: the service for three, the food is average, the maids had to ask for cleaning. I don’t know, maybe we were so “lucky”, but if I knew that I would get a boorish attitude of the staff, I would never go here. The bartenders behaved superficially, at the reception they were rude. What pleased me was the sea, it does not change from year to year, but still next time I will choose another country for vacation. “

Nastya, 24 years old: “There are a lot of good people working here who tried to help us in solving many issues. The territory is clean, well-groomed, there is where to walk. I did not like the entrance to the sea, because there are large and small pebbles on the shore, but I took special slippers in advance, it was uncomfortable, but it did not hurt. And so the water is just magical. In general, for my first trip, everything was not so bad, but next time I will choose another hotel for comparison. “

Laphetos Beach Resort & Spa 5 has plenty of entertainment to your liking. Almost the entire interior area is occupied by a large swimming pool for adults, which is cleaned regularly and where the optimal temperature is maintained.

Svetlana, 33 years old: “We were met by a girl Natalia, who helped to settle in and gave us carnations in honor of the victory holiday, it immediately made a pleasant first impression of the complex, so in the future we tried not to look for disadvantages. The room is quiet and cozy, with views of the surroundings and mountains. If you want to look at the sea, you can pay $ 2 a day and live, with us some changed, but on the other side of the noise, so we stayed in ours. I would like to note the unpleasant smell of towels, like clean, but smell disgusting. The pools are beautiful: big and well maintained, we did not go to the beach so as not to burn in the sun. “
Interesting features
The hotel complex Lafetos Beach owns its own beach, 200 meters long. It is located just 100 meters from the main building and to get to it just cross the road. But for greater comfort and safety of guests, an underground passage is equipped here, which reduces the time of movement.

Isn’t that what you’ve been dreaming about all your life?
Natalia, 34 years old: “The speed of the internet is disgusting. If you want to write a message, it is better to do it from five to seven in the morning, the rest of the time it is unrealistic. For the first time I see this in a five-star hotel. A terrible impression was formed from the Turks, who settled in the next room: they rowed a lot of food, then threw it away, made noise, behaved inadequately on the water slides, ignored any comments. Next time I’ll go to another hotel.”
It can be concluded that in Laphetos Beach Resort & Spa 5 it is good to relax families with children, as the animation is liked by everyone without exception. For an explosive youth weekend, it is better to choose another place. There are disadvantages that the administration needs to pay attention to, they are not too serious, but without them the overall impression of the guests will be much better. For a budget vacation – a good choice.
