Hello!
Yesterday we arrived from Kalimera! I will try to describe in detail all my impressions. A large company traveled with Turtess from Kyiv. We met at the airport, told, showed, explained, quickly took shape and took us to the hotels. On the way to Kalimera we stopped at several other hotels, let's just say Kalimera looked good compared to some. The guide rode with us in the bus and on the way told in detail about the rules, conditions, excursions. Answered all the questions of tourists. At the reception settled quickly enough, no queues and inconvenience. Naturally, having read the reviews before the trip, they prepared $ 20 so that we could be accommodated not far from each other. For those who gave money - smiling sweetly, and rummaging through the shelves for a long time, they gave 2 rooms in the main building on the same floor, side by side. With a fairly nice view of the central pool. We were in the mood for a bungalow, came to the counter later, again smiling sweetly, and asked for a bungalow. We agreed, but we managed to move the next day and for a beautiful 2-room apartment (we lived in a 4-room apartment), a family apartment with 2 balconies and a view of the active pool and the sea, we paid another $ 10). Believe me - it was worth it. (Number 148).
Nutrition: in my opinion - varied, no one will remain hungry (neither herbivores nor meat eaters). there was enough fruit, pastries - chic, I could not resist their bread! Yummy! Sweets - the sea! Vegetables in any form: fresh, grilled, stewed, baked, fried! Soups are interesting enough, eaten every day and no one has any stomach upsets! All the pills were taken back to Kyiv.

There are a lot of meat dishes: chicken, duck, and beef! Moreover, in several variations. Do you want boiled, do you want fried, do you want stewed vegetables, do you want - grilled!
Drinking: You can drink gin and tonic, and wine with dinner. Whiskey - fu, something incomprehensible! Beer - maybe! They didn't drink vodka.
Animation: I liked it. Yes, mostly the guys speak German, English, French, and one from Ukraine speaks Russian. But, absolutely no discomfort about this, I did not feel.
All performances and shows are basically without any lengthy commentary. The guys are great, they dance and sing, and they have good comedy shows. Children are simply adored, they follow them during the day just like ponytails! For children there are all conditions. The main thing is not to shake over your child and not artificially escalate the situation.
Sports games - every day, try aquafit at least once - I'll tell you a very good load, if everything is done correctly. We also actively played volleyball.
And finally, about the sea:
In the morning - beautiful, after 10 hours the tide is out, the sea leaves and leaves the beach for 100 meters without water. But, after lunch, the water returns, and children can safely swim 150-200 meters in water for adults knee-deep, children waist-deep. For those who like to dive: go along the pontoon and swim to the left around the reef, it is alive there and densely populated with fish, we saw several moray eels. Crabs are mostly closer to the shore.
In general, for those who feel good with scuba or just with a mask and snorkel, go on a boat trip, the cost is $ 40, but this is from Turtess. The leftists in the hotel are 5-7 dollars cheaper, but they do not give any guarantee of safety, and the tour operator immediately warned that in such cases they do not bear any responsibility for us. Therefore, we decided that the skin of the vychenka was not worth it and went on an excursion from the turtez, honestly - we didn’t regret it at all!
The sea is just a fairy tale, and underwater inhabitants - you need to see it with your own eyes!

Vacationers are mostly Germans, Italians, a few French and a small percentage of Ukrainians, and a very small percentage of Russians. All the staff speaks German and English, Russian - at the reception, and a few waiters. Therefore, do not demand the impossible from them, show respect and remember at least the school level of English. : )
To summarize: a very green area, many beautiful flowers, a lot of palm trees and flowering shrubs! 4 swimming pools, the main one (at the restaurant) is the deepest. Staff: quiet and helpful, and for $1 they will sculpt you all sorts of figures from towels and sprinkle flowers at least daily!
The food is excellent, the animation is not bad, there are all conditions for children.
