Report on the rest in AVENRURA PARK HOTEL "From the life of vacationers".
Period from 20.06. 09 to 01.07. 09.
Choosing a hotel to stay took a lot of time. In June, prices jumped unpredictably, and hotels sold like hot cakes literally 2-3 days before departure. And the number of 5-stars, based on the amount of 50 sput. rub. for 2 adults and one child 7 years old, was generally limited.
The itch of departure to the sea was very strong, and the "Pegas" Aventura Park was not yet in the "stop" for 11 nights. In general, having looked quickly at the reviews, we chose this hotel.
The flight with OrenAir was remembered for the lack of sugar and a very, very meager lunch. It would not hurt to take sandwiches with you, taking into account the evening departure and late arrival at the hotel. The Boeing is clean, flew smoothly, landing a bit shocked due to the wind. We will often remember this breeze at sea.

"Pegasus" met, as expected, debugged scattered across the buses. It makes no sense to describe the road to the hotel - the information speech of the meeting guide and the obligatory check-in at the "market" is included in the meeting program. Even at home, I threw a couple of bottles of mineral water into my luggage, which they got cool on arrival at the port. There is no time to run in the port, only if you go to the toilet. (Damn, why didn't I drop a couple of cans of beer, I thought later when I saw the price of 3 bucks per can on the bus; ). We arrived at the hotel around 22:00 local time. During the resettlement there was a hitch. At this point, they already thought that baksheesh would be required, but no - they settled in a room, but warned that the room was non-standard, and if necessary, we could be moved to another. When the hotel guy opened the door with a card and showed the room, we realized that the room was definitely not standard. One double bed and two single beds, plasterboard partition, then a folding sofa with an armchair and access to the balcony. Moreover, the balcony is half the size of the room. But the bathroom surprised us with its small size. Later, looking around the hotel, we saw that there are few rooms with access to the road, from which the noise is decent - traffic to Alanya does not stop around the clock. But own condos are a plus. Those. the balcony must still be closed - otherwise it will not work. At night you can open the balcony, the condo is noisy. We didn’t see or hear mosquito flies, but we take fumitox with us, set it up - we won’t rely on chance.
We got to a late dinner at 23.00 - not like that, not like that, enough to eat on the way. Although the soup tasted like burnt bread. And then soups were bypassed, although people took it, even very much.
In the morning we went to rest. A deposit of 10 bucks for remotes from the air conditioner, TV and for each towel that you get in the sauna in exchange for a card issued at the reception. In the same place, at the reception, you get a card for visiting a fish restaurant. It is better to sign up for a visit immediately upon arrival (the restaurant is small, about 45-50 seats). We signed up, but, after thinking, did not go. The choice of dishes there is less, and the son does not really eat fish in general.
In the morning, the hotel guide - Tatyana held a brief briefing, unobtrusively suggested different tours. By the way, Pegasus, and (in fairness) Tez Tour, in my opinion, have the most disciplined guides (and talkative) - we saw them all the time. (Hello to all of them!!! )
About the territory. The territory of the hotel, which we began to explore in the morning, confirmed everything described on the sites. Well-groomed, green, not big, but also small. Walking in a circle at an unhurried pace will take 20-25 minutes. Palm trees, scarlet, eucalyptus, banana palms, pomegranate, laurel, orange and many more exotic, for our Russian eyes, plants and trees. And everything is clean, smooth, neat. Across the road there are a couple of shops, in the evenings at 5-6 o'clock they bring fruit. If you leave the hotel and go left after 15 minutes you will see a market. There are souvenirs, clothes, excursions.

A paved road goes down from the pool past the animation arena and the Lobby bar to the sea. It is to the sea, and not to the beach, since there is practically no beach. Yes, you can see it in the photo of the hotel. The width varies from 0 meters (on the right) to 5-7 meters. To the right is a bay with boats. On one of the days there were also solarium spots. The entrance to the sea is bulky sand, in some places small pebbles. The entry is convenient. After 10-15 meters - stones on which it is cool to stand, relax and swim further. However, you can go swimming to the left, behind the water sports area, closer to another hotel, like Vikingen. The hotel has 2 slides, open from 10 am to 12 pm and from 3 pm to 5 pm. There is enough time. There were no queues. But children need to be careful, wet tiles are slippery - there were quite a few injuries.
Based on such a minimalist beach, we built our vacation like this: in the morning, dad should run to take his favorite place by the pool, then swim in the sea while it is calm. And then breakfast, sunbathing. By the way, the wind caused trouble. There was a storm for a couple of days (there was a red flag on the beach) and, consequently, nailed garbage, algae, for a couple of days there was just wind (yellow flag) and again garbage closer to dinner. But the watchman of the beach sometimes came running with a big net and, as best he could, raked out this shnyag. Then the day is spent by the pool, where there is a hotel party life, with occasional trips to the sea and the slides, of course, through the bars.
The contingent of vacationers initially evoked associations with boarding houses from the times of the USSR. Maybe it was such a race? But I had a suspicion that the Pension Fund had already begun issuing vouchers to Turkey, or at least paying for the flight. Strengthened in such thoughts by aunts in dressing gowns, slender queues for the "deficit", the rapid recruitment of full plates of everything and in large quantities. Lots of families with children. Mostly Russians, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, there were Czechs, Turks. And so, in general, a normal adequate team of vacationers - to sing songs, and drink, and show off. It was fun. From the negative: well, where without it? A drunken brawl at lunchtime of a trio of dates of "comrades". They were quickly subdued and never seen again. “But problems, ” the personnel manager told me and waved his hand in the direction of the airport.
The hotel staff is very friendly and hardworking. The boss, as a leader (he is the chef of the Tivoli Resort hotel), respect, teshekkur ederim in a word. The guys are all built tough. It was interesting to communicate with the staff - contact guys. To make it easier to communicate, I picked up a short Russian-Turkish phrasebook on the Internet. And what? Consider it a whim of the vacationer. You will say in the morning: “Gunaydin” and everyone is fine, or “teshekkur” - thank you, “sheriff” - good health, etc. Yes, they rummage normally in Russian. Here, probably, I will add about the animation team. Let's do without epithets with the prefix "super". Pulled, of course, Andy, but the rest of the fellows. Believing animation, of course, amateur performance, anything is better than nothing. Everything is positive. This is a plus. In the red - the lack of a full-fledged "Turkish night", as is usual on the coast. The dance of the Turkish group, which was not even expected, really liked it. But…. Another minus - in the evening there is simply nowhere to go out. That is, if you do not go to Alanya to a disco for 10 tanks with animators, then at 22.55 the “extreme” glass and march - to sleep. But this is the cost of a family hotel and its location.

About food. Breakfast starts at 7.00 and lasts until 11.00 (after 10.00 outside). Breakfast, as you understand, is standard: potatoes, sausages, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, baby porridge, muesli, vegetables, cheese, butter, tea, coffee, pastries. Quite normal, for our taste, breakfast - it is breakfast. The pool bar by the pool, which serves spirits, is open from 10.00 to 23.00. Evaluation of alcoholic beverages is a matter of taste for everyone. But the beer was not bad, although sometimes it was better in the lobby, the vodka, of course, was not of Russian quality. There was no whiskey. It's a pity. Let's write it down. Whiskey + cola (or Pepsi) somehow warmed in other hotels. Crayfish (anise)? I took crayfish with ice, as they say, as an aperitif (that is, before lunch or dinner) a glass (two), and after the animation (this is already a digestif) for the coming dream. It's how anyone likes it. Lunch is normal, and it's already hot to eat, but almost all salads have been tried. Immediately noted that there were few spicy dishes. The most interesting thing is dinner. The chef (not a very smiling uncle) is a master. In short, there was lamb, there was fish, there was ice cream, chicken, battered vegetables, turkeys, meat patties - everything was fine. And, literally, after 20 minutes the queue was resolved and you can safely go and take whatever you want.
From what to take with you from things - how you want to look (there are no advisers here), from medicines - vodka (except for jokes, it can come in handy, both as a compress, and drip into the ear for pain - just dilute it with water), it’s like present, and international language of communication.
But seriously: you need everything for the weakest places on vacation - the head, eyes, skin, stomach. Caps, glasses, protective cream (20 or even 30), mezim (forte), act. coal, paracetamol. The protective cream in the hotel shop costs 10 tanks, but it is made in Turkey. The same Nivea is more expensive.
About excursions and departures. Their description can be found on the Internet. Price? I will say this: do not rush right away. And then you will! Joke. Having bought a tour at an agency in the market, and at the hotel they often meet in the same bus.
All. Thank you "Aventura Park" for the rest. According to the tradition of all reviews, it is necessary to say: "we will go again or we will not go. " Now, after a month, I will say: such a ratio of the quality of service, the attitude of hotel employees to vacationers, nature, well-groomed territory and, not least, prices, will attract us, perhaps, more than once. Let's see.
