Релаксовый отдых Relaxation

So just a few days back from Turkey.
I have traveled many times in Turkey, recently rented hotels or apartments themselves.
It so happened that I had not been to Turkey for 5 years.
And here again we decided to go, in almost a second home for us.
Almost nothing has changed, except that they began to speak Russian more. Prices for everything are quite expensive, for things and so on. houses can be bought online much cheaper.
It's just that this time we enjoyed the rest) beach and entertainment.
And again, do not forget the quality of your holiday is still highly dependent on yourself, you can find fault with everything, or you can relax and enjoy, which we actually did. And your smile and friendliness to the staff will put you a few steps above the rest of the guests, and in return you will have better service) just do it sincerely)

The hotel is very nice, small, small park area, but we didn't need it anymore. There are a few slides and swings for children, children's animation for children 4-8 years old is very good, reviews from guests we met at the hotel, but we didn’t get it, because one is 2.8 and the other is 13. But both of them , was something to have fun.
When we checked in in the evening at 19.00, there were few guests in the hotel at that time, they asked for a room on the 2nd floor overlooking the forest, and immediately went to dinner.
Room: cleaned every day, there was water in the mini bar, then they took unlimited bottled water at the bar on the 1st floor, opposite the reception.
You can also drink delicious Turkish coffee there (it is not available in other bars on site)
When cleaning the room, swans and various things were spinning, shampoo, soap, gel, delivered every day, and upon request it was possible to increase the number. At the same time, a tip was left already on departure.
The room is cozy, there were 4 beds, but at the same time we had enough space for the 4th, in the evening it was nice to sit, relax on the balcony, quiet, beautiful view.
Wi-fi took us almost everywhere, but if you needed a strong signal, then you had to be on the 1st floor in the reception area, there are soft comfortable sofas, chairs, because it did not cause any discomfort.
So roughly our daily routine:
Morning breakfast from 7 to 10 am, usually 7-8 am, then to the sea. It's not far to go, from the hotel to the right and yes ATMs, then to the left and straight ahead and on the right is our beach. The beach is sandy and pebbly, for the especially vulnerable I advise aquashoes, but we did without them, a good massage for the feet. The entry into the sea is gentle, very comfortable, a small child can safely swim near the shore, it is very convenient. The sea was clean and warm, although in the afternoon, due to the attractions, bananas, etc. , various dirt collected on the shore. Nearby is a large pier of a neighboring hotel, on which, if there was no watchman, you could go and dive, but we climbed it across the sea. You can also feed the fish from it, entertainment for children, the fish are very voracious.

There is a bar on the beach with beer, water, juices, gas. drinks, tea, fried cakes with cheese, meat and just sweets from food, there were french fries and nuggets, in any case, from 7 am to 1 am in the hotel you can always there was something to eat. The beach is constantly being cleaned.
at 10.15 morning exercises begin with Adele, a great nice guy, it’s a pity that we didn’t go to her from the first day. Great morning workout.
Then there were some games on the beach, but we just swam and waited for water aerobics + dancing) at the sea.
(at the same time, water aerobics takes place in the pool)
at 11.15-11.30 the beginning of water aerobics, Misha, you have a huge respect, and worked out and laughed) a big positive charge of energy)
then lunch 12.30 to 14 at the hotel, and seals rest by the pool, you can sleep))
also at this time you can go to Kemer or somewhere else, but more on that later.
Then we changed clothes, bought, dinner and the beginning of the children's disco at 20.00, the animators did it very well, after at 21.00 the evening show program, karaoke, various themed evenings, we got just for 4 days Bayram, Head of the Kakha animation team together with the guys prepared excellent shows, it was interesting and cool) Thank you!
after the evening program, club dances, which we will miss very much, Sasha is a lighter girl) and a disco. The bar is open all the time, make friends with the bartender and you will always have delicious cocktails)
The hookah zone also works, it does not apply to the hotel, but for those who are not tired, trips to the crystal nightclub, foam parties and attending concerts of various performers, contact the animation team)
Beach towels are issued at the spa, you can change it if necessary, for the loss of 10 bucks a fine.
This is how two weeks went by
For trips to Kemer, the stop is immediately to the left of the hotel, dolmush every 15 minutes 3 lira or 1 dollar, we took a taxi in the 8th for only 8 dollars, if you're lucky, you can agree)
Market day in Kemer Mon and Tue.
In Goynuk, the market day is on Fri, but it is not very big, the dolmush from the hotel will take you directly to the market, but I still advise you to go to Kemer.
mon - this is fruit, soap, spices in the very center.

w - textiles, shoes, silver, all sorts of souvenirs. go from the center, on the right there is a large building with a clock and fountains, all the time straight, almost to the very end, and then turn left, between rows of small houses, but ours meet to meet, so ask again)
(bought only towels and decorations, everything else is expensive)
in Kemer itself, the center, on the road to Migros, almost opposite the LS Valkiki, there is a store, it’s right on the corner, I forgot what it’s called, there all magnets, souvenirs, household goods are sold at a price not in dollars, but in lira, also Pretty good shoes and underwear. If in the bazaar and shops it is 2 dollars, then here it is 2 lira.
You can go to the big Migros, Antalya, the prices are quite high, but if you can buy good things with discounts, there is Luna Park across the road, in fact, this was our goal.
For a child of 13 years old, there is something to have fun on, although it is small, the prices are moderate, you replenish the required amount on the card and go ahead, and an adult can ride a couple of attractions)
It's better not to go back by express! to Kemer, and on dolmush goynuk-beldebi, kemer, so you will get to the hotel itself. Specify when landing, for 2 it cost $ 5.
If you want to take a taxi home from Kemer, they won’t take you for less than $ 10, because in the evening the dolmushes are full and if funds allow, it’s better to go straight by taxi.
We didn’t go on excursions, because this route had already been traveled up and down, we wanted a beach and entertainment holiday, and we got it.
One could find fault with the fact that the shower stand was broken in the room, it kept somehow, the bath was leaking, the door creaked, but is it really so important if your vacation was a success)
Although I'll add a fly in the ointment.
Restaurant.
Although they try hard, the staff is friendly, they constantly clean the plates, sweep, in general they try.
The Swedish line is large, there are 2 types of soup to choose from, several varieties of bread. Meat and fish, salads, cold appetizers, desserts.
BUT!! ! I NEVER IN THE 15 YEARS THAT I COME TO TURKEY DID NOT EAT MORE DELICIOUS FOOD!

Although there is no friend for the taste and color, but I didn’t talk to anyone, almost everyone complained about the quality of the food... Although I read in the reviews that I really liked the food. Well, you probably haven't eaten anything better in your life.
Why make fur coats, Russian salads and mimosa-type salads? they are disgusting ((we will cook it at home, so in order:
Let's start with breakfast:
Respect to the pastry chef who made pastries for breakfast, the buns are excellent, the croissants are just super. The children ate with pleasure, because nothing else could be put into them. There were several types of cheese, sausages, I always took myself another plate of cherry tomatoes. I really love Turkish breakfast: cheese, olives, vegetables, BUT the olives were disgusting! I have never tasted such filth in Turkey. Otherwise breakfast was the most delicious meal.
Dinner:
Soups in general are very personal, best of all was tomato.
The rest just left a lot to be desired. Fish - for 2 weeks, I have never been able to eat it, overcooked, overdried, but the most disgusting thing is that one of the cooks is very unfriendly with salt, everything is oversalted. A couple of times I came across a obviously stinking fish, which they tried to reanimate, so be careful, and it gave out the smell after a short time, and the fish was taken for a small child.

A small child most often had to be fed with pasta, because she simply spit out the rest, and they themselves took salads to a greater extent, poured yogurt on them and that was the whole lunch or dinner. Sometimes turkey thighs were served, but the waolis were cut so badly that there were many small fragmented bones, it was necessary to eat carefully. Once they came to the beginning of dinner, they served excellent chicken wings, soft juicy, they came for an addition - there was already a second tray - overdried, overcooked and oversalted. I tried everything, cold salads, for the most part it is simply not possible to eat. I am not picky about food, I can just eat a piece of bread and butter and just rice without anything. But come to rest and eat rice or macrons? For the second week, they simply couldn’t see salads, they had to take a little of everything and choose from this what turned out to be more or less edible.
How many uneaten things were thrown off the plates, really no one pays attention to this, although the cook is constantly standing in the hall, watching. She praised me a couple of times, and when she said that it was not tasty, she thought that they would eat me alive, of course I understand that every cook considers himself a great culinary specialist.
I can’t say that it’s really that bad, because thanks to an active lifestyle and such a diet, I managed to lose 5 kg!
Another big minus.
Dirty dishes, the quality of washing dishes, especially glasses, leaves much to be desired. Taking a glass of wine at the bar, do not be surprised if it is covered in unwashed lipstick on all sides. It seems that they are not washed, but simply rinsed, this applies to all glasses. Plates are almost the same, taking a plate check its cleanliness)
In the hall itself, clean, but very noisy if there are a lot of people. They preferred a veranda, air and no rumble.
Yes, and one of the minuses is flies, for some reason there were always a lot of them here, there were no sticky flaxes hung out, there were always several representatives of this species on your plate, so you took only what you ate right away, followed the rest Then. But if at the beginning there is everything, then closer to the middle, there is already little that could be heard and you had to choose from what is.
The assortment is monotonous, what was not eaten for lunch will be for dinner. Almost every day is the same.
As for desserts, in 2 weeks, having tried everything, only once I found something more classic for a Turkish dessert, and a couple of times there was a decent baklava with walnuts.

As for desserts and sweets, a string of fairly inexpensive shops stretches to the right of the hotel, after walking for about 7 minutes, the shop is called Oriental sweets, Emil is always a friendly guy, everything is fresh, everything can be tried more than once. (tried in other shops too, this one turned out to be the best) it is on the corner and with a large showcase with sweets inside.
In general, the rest was a success, everything compensated for each other.
I would go a second time - no, because there are so many different places on this earth)
and hotels in Turkey are a dime a dozen.
Choose, read reviews and find the place for yourself in which you will be comfortable)
And let your vacation be unforgettable, enjoy)
