We rested in Hedefe from 21.06. to 30.06. with my sister, while the memories are fresh, I decided to share them with them. Our vacation was a success for all 5+, perhaps this is due to the fact that we flew for the first time and did not notice any disadvantages, but I want to turn to people who leave negative comments, the quality of your vacation largely depends on the mood, we had it (despite the fact that our flight was delayed for a day) positive!
Now in detail about Hedefe:
1) Hotel. 5-storey building, new, good layout, reception, lobby, restaurant on the ground floor. There are 2 elevators on which they swept only 2 times during check-in and check-out, for the sake of a walk they drove to the 5th floor on foot. 2 pools: large and children's, 2 slides go into the large one (turn on by the hour), depth 1.5 m, near the smaller slides. There are also sun loungers and mattresses, but the seats really need to be filled in the morning.

2) Number. The rooms are bright, neat and clean. There is a TV set, air conditioning, a safe for a fee. Upon check-in, they gave a room on the 5th floor with a view of the cottages under construction, we asked for a view of the pool, Emir (the boy from the reception, very pleasant and helpful and probably the only one who speaks English well and understands well in Russian) immediately settled the problem. They gave room 5216, though with one double bed, but this is not a problem at all. Regarding cleaning: the maid was never seen, but traces of cleaning were noticed every day: changing towels, cleaning the bathroom, figures from the bedspread. The only thing I didn’t like was that they left the balcony open, especially when they went on an excursion for 2 days, they didn’t vacuum it at all, the “control” crumbs remained on the floor. By the way, the tip was left every other time - they did not notice the difference. Many complain about the water on the floor in the bathroom, but this is not surprising, there are no curtains as such, a glass partition for half the bath.
3) Restaurant and bars. There is only one restaurant, tables in the building and on the terrace. There are 3 bars in the hotel itself (lobby, restaurant, pool) and 1 on the beach. Food is like a buffet, which stretches across the entire hall. There was definitely no shortage of food, although the menu was about the same, but only 5-6 types. Right at the entrance, the grandmother bakes flat cakes, for breakfast - scrambled eggs or pancakes, a huge variety of cold cuts and cheeses, salads - cucumbers, tomatoes, meat spices and much more, for the second meat, fish, chicken, potatoes, pasta, beans from side dishes, eggplant, from fruits watermelon, melon, orange, grapefruit. I was pleased with the variety of local jams (from figs, orange . . ), and yoghurts are very sour. In general, everything is very tasty, we just rolled out of the restaurant. The only thing is that there are no desserts, except for multi-colored semolina puddings.
Drinks: during the day they drank mostly water from coolers, there is local soda, juices, such as yuppies, coffee from vending machines is very tasty, tea is not for everyone, whiskey and cola were tried from alcoholic drinks, beer was decent, wines were dry, mostly red.
4) Staff. He knows his job very well, the guys are very friendly and helpful. From the first day, waiters and bartenders ask for a name, and oddly enough they remember it, henceforth they say hello and wish you a good appetite, they manage to do everything, and remove it from the tables and make a compliment.

5) Animation. Animation team - Alex (Chief), Adnan (for sports), Diago and Tanya, cool guys with a good sense of humor, everyone does their own thing. They try to pay attention to everyone, at least talk a little, in 9 days they became like relatives. Music on the territory of the hotel plays from 9:00 to 23:00, cool, there are 2-3 signature songs, a disc is offered, now I regret that I did not buy it. In the morning - aerobics, darts, water polo, at 16:00 - aqua aerobics, at 21:00 a program for children, then competitions for adults, in general, fun. I especially liked the ritual dances in the morning near the pool and in the evening at the end of the program. There is no disco, the animators are campaigning to go to Alanya, you pay for the road, the entrance to the club is free, as it turned out later in all the clubs the entrance is free. We went once, in principle, cool, but a little scary. We mostly went to a club near the hotel - Tommy, heard a lot about Summer garden, but never went. From other entertainment - there is a tennis court, table tennis, in the lobby - paid Internet. We were not in the Turkish bath, but those who went were very praised. Near the hotel there is a park with a fountain, a cafe, cozy gazebos and funny carousels - I highly recommend it. Around the hotel itself there are shops, you can bargain and buy souvenirs, essential goods are 3 times more expensive than ours. If possible, take excursions, we went to 3: a Turkish bath in Alanya, Sultan Hammam, Ephesus-Pammukale (2 days), a yacht. You can go to Alanya on your own, just for a walk.
6) Sea. Now about the sad, the beach is really bad - pebbles, there is no entry into the sea or in tightly fastened sandals, it is easy to get hurt on stones, the sea is unrealistically salty! We were 3 times during the entire vacation, then we went on a yacht trip to the Side area - the same pebble beach.
In general, we are very satisfied with the rest, I would give a lot to return two weeks ago. I do not persuade anyone, draw your own conclusions, but I myself am ready to go to Hedef next year!
P. s. : a big hello to everyone who had a rest during this period in Hedef, who is just going - have a nice holiday! : ))
