Preface.
The main goal of our family vacation was to take the child to the sea, and the quality of food was important for us, of course, not in terms of "devour", but in variety and in the presence of meat and fish dishes in the diet.
The wife was in charge of choosing the place of rest. After spending several days studying reviews about hotels in Bulgaria and Turkey, we decisively pushed Bulgaria aside due to its high cost and inconsistency in price and quality. In Turkey we
have already been to Kemer once in 2008 and therefore were already mentally prepared for the trip. To my initial regret, my wife chose only one four-star Acropolis hotel in Alanya, because reviews about it were the most
favorable and complete. Of course, I would like to have a choice, but it so happened that the deadlines were running out, and we came to grips with the implementation of our plans. We found this hotel on the online booking page of our website.
a local travel company, asked the price, chose a tour and went to arrange a trip at the company's office. I will not miss the opportunity to say thanks to the Turks for their attitude towards the guests of the country - $ 20 for a multiple entry visa,
not many countries give you at the entrance - this is not 100 dollars (60 euros) per person for no reason. We flew on a direct charter flight from Minsk, because we didn’t want to “lose” the impressions of our vacation on transfers to
Kyiv or Moscow. The plane flew for two and a half hours. We arrived at Antalya airport in the morning. When we got off the plane, we were greeted by the already familiar hot air of Turkey. We received our luggage without delay. By the way, with such
I was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of the airport staff and the quality of passenger service - everything was fast and convenient. In the public toilets of the airport, everything has become
incomparably better - everything is clean and tidy, not like in 2008, when there was no elementary toilet paper in the toilet of the departure hall. At the exit from the airport, as usual, we were "taken apart" by travel agents of the host companies. We have
the host was Teztur. By the way, initially there were doubts about the quality of service by this company: they thought that there would be a soulless conveyor, but now I can state the fact that everything was on
at the proper level - we did not feel deprived of attention. It takes about two and a half hours to get from the airport to the hotel, because our hotel was the penultimate one on the flight. Passing through Alanya, I saw how people went out to their hotels
- it made a depressing impression: the hotel is located on the hotel, there are almost no trees in the city, you need to go to the sea through a busy highway, in one hotel even a passage was built on top of the highway - everything is like in a metropolis. BUT
my wife said that our hotel is located near the mountains, surrounded by greenery, and here it is. Already mentally prepared to serve the room for two weeks, but then we finally left the noisy Alanya and drove on. Finally we arrived at
the town of Kestel, which is 6 kilometers from Alanya. Our hotel turned out to be right at the foot of the mountains, at a height with excellent views of the sea and mountains, immersed in greenery around with clean air, there were no hotels nearby -
cozy and quiet during the day...
We arrived at the hotel around 12:30. Together with us there were two more families from Minsk, who also chose this hotel based on the reviews of tourists. At the reception we were met by Turkish employees: young pleasant Turkish girls. Accepted
our documents, "ringed". They issued a printout in Russian about the hotel's schedule, paid and already paid services, about the location of various services in the hotel, the schedule for the hotel bus to the beach and back -
completely comprehensive information. All polite and smiling. And they asked me to wait in a huge, spacious, cozy hotel lobby with a TV, soft and comfortable sofas and armchairs, on which they settled
vacationers - 5 people in different places, communicating via Skype with relatives in their distant homeland. Yes, there is Wi-Fi internet in the lobby, the price is negligible, so if you have a laptop or netbook - take it - you won't regret it. Was nice
surprised by such a civilization. They settled us in the room, however, only at 14:00, as expected by the rules, because the room was in the process of being prepared for settlement. But we waited, sitting comfortably in the lobby on easy chairs.
By the way, we arrived exactly at the beginning of dinner, and the girls at the reception explained to us that despite the fact that we had not yet been settled, we can already use all the benefits of the hotel. The level of service in the restaurant, the choice of hot dishes to us
significantly lifted the mood after the road.
Hotel and room.
At 2:00 pm, a senior hotel employee took us to our room. The room was on the third floor with a great view of the sea and mountains. An important note: you have to "pay" for beauty. If the windows of the room look at the sea, then you can
"enjoy" free of charge the rhythms and frills of the DJs of the "Auditorium club" disco, located in the direct line of sight from the hotel, 350-400 meters in the lowland. When the wind blew towards the hotel, even enthusiastic squeals were heard
vacationers right up to 5:00 every day. The basses in this disco are tuned in the best traditions of the Soviet club - anyhow it gave brains. I didn’t sleep for only one night - the rest of the days after going to the sea I just passed out in bed.
If the windows of your room face the mountains in the opposite direction, you will listen to the roosters singing in the morning, which some people also did not like, but to a lesser extent. Information from families
The kids sleep great here and there.
The room had two standard beds for adults and one child side bed, but it was difficult to distinguish it from the standard one. There was a small refrigerator in the room, which contained food and drinks from the minibar. We immediately said
the employee that we are going to use the minibar as a refrigerator, so the employee took all the contents of the minibar out of it in order to make room for us for our products.
Initially, the room smelled of cigarettes - there are people who can't go out on the balcony to smoke, and I asked if the hotel had non-smoking rooms. To which I received an answer that in all hotel rooms it is allowed
smoke. In this regard, we left the balcony of the room open for half a day and went to explore the surroundings. By evening, the smell of cigarettes had disappeared. The room itself was clean and well maintained. Furniture in very good condition.
The cleaning of the rooms on our floor began after lunch, so they usually hung a “do not disturb” sign on the door until 16:00, because it was categorically not recommended to be in the sun from 12:00 to 16:00. Cleaned good-natured,
smiling maid. Reward employees and they will try to do the best for you. Bed linen, white towels changed almost every day. We were very pleased. As reported in
earlier reviews, the shower is not very comfortable - there is not enough space. In order to lather, it was necessary to turn off the water, and then set it up again, since the mixer, for some reason, was junk - apparently consumables
the gaskets were worn out and the hot water was regulated spasmodically. Although on the second day the situation with the tap, though in the sink, was corrected - the gasket was changed. The toilet bowl is normal, modified - something like
bidet equipment. In general, there were few complaints, if any.
Yes, and spent little time there.
Take a rope and clothespins with you - otherwise you will have to dry towels and swimwear on the balcony wall!
Upon arrival, I immediately asked me to turn on the safe in the room so that my head would not hurt about documents and cash, because bank cards in Turkey are useless in resort areas. I immediately gave 42 dollars in two weeks - 3 dollars in
day. The meeting with the hotel guide "Teztour" was scheduled for the next morning. Looking ahead, I want to add that the guide said that money and documents could be safely stored in a suitcase with a simple combination lock due to
virtually zero crime rate in the hotel.
By the way, while we were waiting for check-in in the hotel lobby, all the visitors were courted by a young, very tanned man who spoke Russian perfectly - after the standard greeting phrases and questions where we were from, we were offered
services of the Turkish bath of the hotel, professional massage and peeling, in particular, for 35 dollars. Checks were written for everything. I have nothing against this young man - he earns so much, but the hotel guide has the same peeling in
the same hotel bath was cheaper - $ 30 due to the large volume of orders. It is better to order services from a hotel guide as a package - it will be cheaper. But, anyway, I want to especially note the commercial streak of this young
person: later I saw him repeatedly on the beach of the hotel, he went from deck chair to deck chair and literally led a masseur behind him, offering a trial free massage to vacationers. As a result, many people who even
I didn’t think about massage before, I signed up for this procedure several times. The massage therapist is a guy, a young Turk is very intelligent, he knows his craft to perfection - according to customer reviews. An hour of massage cost 20
dollars depending on the specifics.
In addition to the Turkish bath, the hotel has a hairdresser - $ 10 haircut from a stylist, there is a shop with drinks, sweets, swimming trunks, swimwear and other personal belongings for relaxing on
sea; a photographer runs around the territory offering to take a picture - many used this service and were satisfied.
The territory of the hotel is large: there is one residential building with 150 rooms, in my opinion, but I have never seen crowds of people. There are two beautiful pools: for a relaxing swim and for fun with excellent water slides. There is
tennis court, which also has a backboard with a basketball hoop. There are also several billiard tables inside the hotel building - for a fee, a table tennis table - already paid for, though the rackets are completely dead, but if
If you want, you can buy new ones at the store. Near each pool bar with helpful staff.
In general, everything is like in a cartoon about the parrot Kesha: "Yes, yes, I drink juice right without leaving the pool! ".
The hotel simply created all the conditions for relaxation from the daily hustle and bustle.
Beach.
During the walk on the first day, we naturally went to look for the beach of the hotel ourselves. With the help of local residents, who understood where we were from on the hotel's bracelets, we found our way to the hotel's beach. I must say right away that ergonomic
the road to the beach not in the sun takes 20 minutes on foot at a normal pace. If you are in a hurry, then 15 minutes. The beach is nice, well maintained, there is a bar on the beach. I will especially note the toilet on the beach: good plumbing, always
Toilet paper is available and always CLEAN! Very nice bar staff takes care of everything. There are two showers, a special place for washing the sand off your feet before leaving the beach. Everything is well thought out and comfortable. Entrance to
the sea is relatively rough.
On the left side, on about 1/3 of the beach area of the hotel, the entrance to the sea is filled with mortar, which is very dangerous in case of waves. And so the bottom is sandy with a couple of boulders at a depth.
On the shore there are several rows of sun loungers with mattresses. But the shadow zone is only enough for two rows. An awning is a fine mesh that scatters sunlight, under which you can also burn out if you do not use protective
means. There are enough sun loungers for everyone, the only negative is that not everyone has enough space in the shade. You can buy drinks and water at the beach bar. You can play volleyball - there is a playground with a net, the sand is periodically cooled by watering
from a hose with water. Everything is convenient.
Sea.
The sea is the Mediterranean, and that says it all! For the sake of it, we drove here, for the sake of the mountains, for the sake of the greenery around. I will say right away that not far, a couple of hundred meters from the beach of the hotel from the side of Alanya, the mountain river Dimchay flows into the sea. Just arrived
home, I was able to assess the situation using the satellite map www. google. com.
By the way, on a satellite map you can find a hotel, a beach and view it from a height. Only the inscription with the name of the hotel is slightly shifted to the right. You
find the hotel by the two dark blue spots of the pools.
Somewhere around 10 am in the mountains, a dam is opened and water is released. At the same time, the water in the sea becomes cold for those who are used to basking in the sun. If you swim at home in the river, then this will not bother you, but the water is like
don't expect fresh milk. On the other hand, if you swim, and not lie on the water in these conditions, you get the impression of a good tonic shower. True, cold water was in about 60-70% of cases in two
weeks. We went to the sea three times a day. After dinner, we went to a common beach, located to the right of the mouth of the river from Alanya. The water there is fresh milk, since the current in the sea was mainly directed to the side
hotel beach.
The water in the river is clean, although when the dam was opened, a thin band of bubbles in the form of a semicircle spread across the sea at first, and then disappeared. Swimming in the sea it was interesting to notice that the cold fresh water was in
the upper layers - half a meter - water, and deeper, if you dive - all the same fresh milk. Some people didn't like it, of course. The locals even dug the mouth with an excavator in such a way that the water of the river would go out into the sea into
the minimum bottleneck, while the sea water on our beach became warm. But the next storm, of course, blurred human efforts to cope with mother nature, and everything returned to normal.
We were very pleased with the sea, although it was not as warm as in Kemer.
There was a lifeguard on the beach at all times. With us, he saved only the sea-travelers on mattresses, who were carried into the sea during the excitement. And so, he entertained the girls and ladies with conversations, without stopping to control
sailing away. Rescuers are equipped with radios, suggesting a possible successful response to the rescue problem. They had two high-speed motor boats and canoes in their arsenal.
Transport to the sea from the hotel and back went regularly. The only thing I would like to note is that before lunch, a lot of people crowded into the bus on the beach, but everyone got in - be patient for 5 minutes with the windows open, and you are already in
hotel, so as not to go into the heat in the heat on foot. Again, the bar employee carefully “packed” the vacationers into the bus, made sure that no one was pinched by the door, and only after that he gave the command to the driver in black trousers and
white shirt to go out. Like the Japanese subway.
Restaurant.
The restaurant I have only praise and gratitude to the staff for quality service.
Diverse food:
for breakfast you could taste sausages, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, eggs of varying degrees of cooking, mini buns of 10 varieties with different fillers, sliced watermelon without rind, very sweet, butter, jams, honey, etc. Tea could be
to drink classically brewed in their version of an electric samovar (the Turks drank it), it was possible to drink tea from bags of five varieties, various coffee, hot chocolate in abundance in special machines, only without money. Pro
I don't say yuppies;
for lunch, at least two hot dishes. Every day there was either lumpy chicken, mostly fillet, or fish carcasses and piecemeal fried on fire, sometimes there was something like shawarma, cutlets, very tasty as a side dish
rice, boiled potatoes, french fries, vegetables fried, stewed different and very tasty. Constantly huge selection of fresh vegetables, spices, herbs - some I didn't even know the name. Pickles, marinades. For lovers of salads - pieces 5
five different salads.
Melon, local oranges are very sweet, plums for dessert. Drinks as for breakfast. Alcohol did not drink as unnecessary, but he did not notice those who were dissatisfied with it;
for an afternoon snack they prepared snacks at the bar - I didn’t try it, I ate hamburgers a couple of times on the beach with sausage inside for the sake of interest;
drinks until 23:00 are constantly available, both hot and cold, and strong. Drinking water in coolers in bars and restaurants bottled at 18-20 liters is good. After 23:00 you have to pay for everything.
For dinner, the food was just as delicious as for lunch, only watermelon was added, which was especially popular with everyone.
The longest line in which I stood in the restaurant - 10 people for hot. The queue goes very quickly - the speed of advancement depends only on the legibility of the vacationers. The dishes were never empty, the chef constantly watched
this. The exception is watermelon, which almost everyone mercilessly devoured.
The dishes are clean, the tablecloths are also clean, everything is cleaned on time by well-trained staff under the supervision of a strict manager. The waitress girls are very
polite and attentive, always offered to bring something to drink.
The restaurant, I would say - one of the attractions of this hotel!
Animation.
As I already mentioned, we went to the sea at every opportunity, so I can’t give an assessment to the animators. But judging by the number of visitors to their show in the evening, I can assume that everything was on the level.
Summing up, I can recommend this hotel primarily for families with children: the food is good, the service and accommodation are at the level, the children have something to do - a children's room, tennis, a pool with slides, etc. But young
people there, too, will not feel deprived - everyone could find something to do and a company of interest.
The contingent of vacationers is absolutely heterogeneous: starting with citizens of the former Soviet republics, continuing with citizens of Turkey and ending with citizens of Germany and other EU countries. Everyone behaved decently, within the framework of
generally accepted rules of conduct.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the owner of the hotel, managers, chefs, restaurant waiters, especially Sehriban and Yulia receptionists, hotel bus drivers, especially maids, and everyone
the rest of the hotel staff, thanks to the well-coordinated work of which our vacation became unforgettable!
I would love to go here again.

for lunch, at least two hot dishes. Every day there was either lumpy chicken, mostly fillet, or fish carcasses and piecemeal fried on fire, sometimes there was something like shawarma, cutlets, very tasty as a side dish
rice, boiled potatoes, french fries, vegetables fried, stewed different and very tasty. Constantly huge selection of fresh vegetables, spices, herbs - some I didn't even know the name. Pickles, marinades. For lovers of salads - pieces 5
five different salads.
Melon, local oranges are very sweet, plums for dessert. Drinks as for breakfast. Alcohol did not drink as unnecessary, but he did not notice those who were dissatisfied with it;
for an afternoon snack they prepared snacks at the bar - I didn’t try it, I ate hamburgers a couple of times on the beach with sausage inside for the sake of interest;
drinks until 23:00 are constantly available, both hot and cold, and strong. Drinking water in coolers in bars and restaurants bottled at 18-20 liters is good. After 23:00 you have to pay for everything.
For dinner, the food was just as delicious as for lunch, only watermelon was added, which was especially popular with everyone.
The longest line in which I stood in the restaurant - 10 people for hot. The queue goes very quickly - the speed of advancement depends only on the legibility of the vacationers. The dishes were never empty, the chef constantly watched
this. The exception is watermelon, which almost everyone mercilessly devoured.
The dishes are clean, the tablecloths are also clean, everything is cleaned on time by well-trained staff under the supervision of a strict manager. The waitress girls are very
polite and attentive, always offered to bring something to drink.
The restaurant, I would say - one of the attractions of this hotel!
Animation.
As I already mentioned, we went to the sea at every opportunity, so I can’t give an assessment to the animators. But judging by the number of visitors to their show in the evening, I can assume that everything was on the level.
Summing up, I can recommend this hotel primarily for families with children: the food is good, the service and accommodation are at the level, the children have something to do - a children's room, tennis, a pool with slides, etc. But young
people there, too, will not feel deprived - everyone could find something to do and a company of interest.
The contingent of vacationers is absolutely heterogeneous: starting with citizens of the former Soviet republics, continuing with citizens of Turkey and ending with citizens of Germany and other EU countries. Everyone behaved decently, within the framework of
generally accepted rules of conduct.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the owner of the hotel, managers, chefs, restaurant waiters, especially Sehriban and Yulia receptionists, hotel bus drivers, especially maids, and everyone
the rest of the hotel staff, thanks to the well-coordinated work of which our vacation became unforgettable!
I would love to go here again.
