Even budget tourists can experience first-class service, various entertainment, exquisite food, and other pleasures of a “cool” luxury hotel in Turkey, and for a nominally small amount. A blogger living in Turkey published a life hack on how to do it. She told about her personal experience of the “day visit” service of “a very cool five-star hotel in Antalya – Nirvana Cosmopolitan 5*” and its “unobvious” but very interesting life hacks for tourists.
First, about the essence of the service. Many hotels in Turkey now began to offer the “day visit” service – they saw it as an additional source of income. Both tourists and those who moved to Antalya for permanent residence can use it. And for a fairly modest amount: for example, at the Nirvana Cosmopolitan 5* this season, it is 900 lira ($50, which is almost free for such a hotel). For this price, you can use all the services of the hotel – guests are provided with breakfast and lunch, access to the water park, swimming pools, spa center, etc., of course, except for alcohol.
The blogger gave the following details about the food: “You can have breakfast in the main restaurant, but have lunch only in a cafe near the water park. But they feed there very well! And breakfasts in Nirvana are the absolute TOP. There is almost everything. And red fish, and different cuts of meat, and super pastries, nuts, cheeses… You definitely can’t skip breakfast, otherwise, you won’t get your money back.” According to her, “daytime” guests can use the entire infrastructure of the hotel during the day: SPA, gym, swimming pools, beach… “But in fact, the most important entertainment in Nirvana is a huge water park,” the blogger said.
She did not forget to specify the main disadvantage, to which the main “life hack” is added. “Alcohol is not included in the price of a day’s stay, not even beer! But in practice, bartenders don’t look at what bracelet you’re wearing at all,” the blogger explained. So “the minus can be safely crossed out.” Also, no one will “hunt” for tourists after six and drive them out of the territory or force them to pay for extra time, she added.
“As a result, I can say that this service is definitely worth the money. A full-fledged day in a chic five-star hotel with cool entertainment… It’s like going to a good water park, where “all is included”, and there is also a SPA, a children’s club, a beach, and other joys,” the blogger concluded.
