Turkey is one of the favorite destinations of Romanian tourists. In 2023, approximately one million Romanians spent their holidays in Turkey . This figure represents an increase of approximately 12% compared to 2022. The favorite destinations of Romanians included the resorts of Antalya, Istanbul and Bodrum, which are among the most popular tourist areas in Turkey.
In particular, Antalya registered a significant increase in the number of Romanian tourists. This is where the experience I mentioned in the title comes from.
"The drinks are counterfeit, mediocre, disgusting"
The accommodation and the all inclusive service cost 1500 euros, the tourist claims, an amount which, from my point of view, should have drawn his attention that something was wrong, especially for a 7-day stay. I know the Turks are famous for their deals, but at a time when the country is rocked by horrendous inflation, it's just naive to expect to get premium services for only 1500 euros.
"A worm that came out of a bun while we were eating"
On the sixth day of the stay, the tourist relented and began to describe the experience.
"Sixth day at Dosinia Luxury Resort, Kemer, Beldibi, Antalya, a hotel that I give a maximum of 3 *, a hotel with mediocre entertainment, the food is the same every day, the drinks are counterfeit, mediocre, disgusting, even the bottled water has taste of boiled water, (if I say so) the bottles of international drinks like, Jack Daniels, Chivas, Ballantines, etc. are only used as containers and are refilled with their local, mediocre drinks, which you cannot serve, there are many said, I do not recommend this hotel!👎 Ps: I am attaching a picture of a worm that came out of a bun while we were eating!"
