Кошдере отель Koshdere hotel

We rested in the hotels of Keshdere from September 08-19.2009.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by rain, and what a rain! Good thing we got on the bus.
Nice guide Maria entertained us all the way with stories about Turkey and Alanya in particular. We got to the hotel in two hours, because. he was last on the list.
Well, here we are at the hotel! we arrived at 9 pm, left our suitcases at the reception and went to have dinner, in the dark we didn’t make out much, but we didn’t go hungry.

We went to get a room, the lights went out in the whole hotel, our kids got scared (there were always such power outages during the rain), but after a couple of minutes the lights turned on. I must say that after reading the reviews, my friend and I prepared to give 10 bucks to get a better room. We asked for rooms nearby (we went with children of the same age), to which we were told that there is 1 large room where it would be convenient for us, we insisted that 2 separate rooms were paid, the lights went out again, the porter came, took our things and said that we should send them to the room . I tried to ask him for 1 or 2 numbers, they gave us, but he did not speak Russian well, as a result, in the dark by the light of the phone, I saw two keys and we went to the rooms. To clarify: we went to Kerscheder Garden 3 *, the building itself, although the territory and everything else is common, only the buildings are simpler. Well, so we came, everything satisfied us in the dark: the locks worked, there was a TV, air conditioning (and even the remote control from it was not screwed to the wall). Give light, cheers! saw everything better, well, not 5 *, but for the money it's quite normal. Photos on the Internet are quite true. In the room: 2 1.5 beds, a dressing table in a mirror, an ottoman, a telephone, 2 bedside tables, a wardrobe in the hallway, a shower in the bathroom, a hairdryer. On the balcony there is a table and two plastic chairs, a dryer. Well, that's the whole situation. The linen is clean, in the room and in the bathroom it just stinks of cleaning products (sugary smell), we ventilate, wash and spaaat!
The next day, minor flaws creep out: large gaps between the tiles in the ceiling in the bathroom, in order for the hair dryer to work, you need to press the button with lethal force, and it may not turn on after you release the button, then the truth will turn on somewhere min. after 15. However, in the next room, the hair dryer worked fine, but pumped up the drain in the sink. But there was a clean sink, and we are all covered in some smudges.
It was necessary to hide with a thin sheet, I was terribly cold at night, I grabbed a sweater well in it and sometimes slept. The balcony door did not dare to keep open at night, because. 1st floor was. The air conditioner turned on 1 time, there was no need, the room was cool all the time, and the ventilation at night was good due to the wooden frames.
They fed well. True, there was no meat for breakfast, but always for lunch and dinner! 2 kinds for lunch, 3 kinds for dinner. The first 4 days everything was calm, then tourists came in large numbers and just huge queues lined up for dinner! I had to take a queue in advance, otherwise there were no free tables, and with children it was somehow not very comfortable to wait until the tables were free. Moreover, dinner started at 19.30, and at 20.30 the mini-disco was already starting, just in time. I read in the reviews that there is simply nothing there, but it is not! just a lot of vegetables and snacks, and fruits. There were always watermelons, melons, apples, some local fruits, oranges, sweets, two crowded tables. It may have a specific look and taste, but this is already a matter of taste. I tried the wine, did not like it, it felt like it was diluted with beer. The beer is good. We did not drink vodka, other vacationers ordered it and did not complain.
The territory is large and quite picturesque, clean. There are peacocks (albeit skinned tails), turtles, rabbits, cats, chickens, roosters, children try to catch them, stroke them, touch them.

I really liked the Turkish bath, the massage is also not bad. A trial package of the tour costs 25 dollars, it includes a sauna, the attendant gives you peeling and foam massage, then relaxation and body massage. I also took a session for a week for $120. Quite acceptable.
There are good swimming pools on the territory, with children's pools.
Personally, we didn’t really need animation, only in the nursery, in the evening there was a mandatory mini-disco, quite fun for the children, every evening the same music so that the children remembered the movements. Everything ends with "Ariva", I really liked it, both parents and animators participate there.
The kids club is open, you can go there a couple of times if you want.
Sea: because the beach in the bay the water is rather dirty, sharp stones come across, so come in more carefully. The sunbeds are busy in the morning both on the beach and around the pools, but in principle you can always find a free one.
MTS did not connect to my roaming, I had to buy a tour. Sim. map from the guide Mohammed. But for some reason, she stopped working 4 days before the end of the holiday.
There is a shop on the territory of the hotel where you can buy everything you need, bargain, sometimes they give discounts. For prices: walk towards the village, look at the prices there, some are cheaper near the hotel, and some are further away. The price can be knocked down by half of the declared one, and then how will it go. Sometimes they give souvenirs in the form of eyes.
We were satisfied with the rest, considering the cost of vouchers. We got 20.5 thousand for one. The rooms for 30 thousand were additionally a small refrigerator, shower, euro windows. We got along just fine without it.
There is also such a local attraction: a Turkish aunt sits in a bar on the beach from 11-16 and cooks local cakes with cheese, potatoes or sugar. Local kitchen. All the old fashioned way. tasty. here.
You can go again. Not bad.
There will be questions, write, I will answer.
