Прекрасный медовый месяц Lovely honeymoon

We went to this hotel from May 28 to June 4.2010. We went on the program "Express Tour" from TezTour, in fact, "roulette". We paid $ 720 for two for 8 days (in fact, there were 6.5 of them due to the postponement of the date of the return flight). We liked everything. It wasn't until I got home that I read the negative reviews. I'll start in order. At the Antalya airport, we were met by representatives of the tour operator and promptly loaded into a comfortable bus. Despite the heat, it was more than pleasant for us to drive: air conditioning and a funny guide made the 2.5 trip to the hotel discreet and fun. The hotel was pleasantly surprised by the abundance of greenery and flowers, despite the fact that its territory is small. We arrived at the hotel around 1:30 pm. We were fed immediately, and about an hour later we were settled. We got a room on the second floor, overlooking the pipe and the wall. We didn’t bother, and in the evening, sitting on the balcony, we admired the flowers and palm trees that could be seen with our heads up. The people who were settled on the 4th and 6th floors were unhappy because their rooms were hot.
Now a little about the restaurant that everyone complains about so much. Dear, you paid about $ 400 per person per week for a ticket, and do you want to be given meat of different varieties without restriction? By the way, for those who are in the tank, beef in Turkey costs $15 per kilogram, and lamb - from $25! And paying ridiculous money for the rest you want the impossible. In addition, even my husband, who is a true meat eater and sweet tooth, did not feel any inconvenience and praised the food in every possible way. Every day there was chicken and fish. Yes, the meat was distributed by the cook, but this is understandable, given the greed and insatiability of our compatriots. After all, they could not eat what they raked themselves. The queue for meat took 3 minutes, for those who were especially interested, the cook put 2 pieces of chicken with vegetables on one plate. With us, one Russian cattle (I apologize for the expression) with a thick belly, after the cook put the portion due to him on a plate, poured everything back into the tray with common food and said something like: "Hey, you, chump! Che you lay down to me? Put down only meat, and more, you freak. " How we resisted the kick, I don't know. The soup was a kind of mashed soup, not very tasty compared to homemade food, but quite edible. There were a lot of chopped greens and salads! Those who complain about spoiled salads, for some reason, rowed them. I was afraid of poisoning and frustration, so I typed in salads, and separately cucumbers, tomatoes, greens and cabbage. Grilled vegetables are a separate issue! I just couldn’t tear myself away from them, especially for zucchini and blue ones, it’s very tasty! There was also cauliflower fried in batter and steamed, broccoli. Of the vegetables were watermelons, golden apples, oranges, cherry plums.
Also served pasta with sauce, stuffed peppers and tomatoes, rice with aromatic spices, minced vegetables, beans with meat, french fries. In the morning I gorged myself on olives, of which there were three types, delicious toasts with cheese, reminiscent of our cheese (amazing). There were also two types of ham and sausage slices, hard cheese. Sausage and ham were soy, but, returning to the question of the cost of a kilogram of meat and the cost of a voucher to a hotel, everything becomes extremely clear and logical. In the morning, a dish was always served, something reminiscent between cottage cheese and kefir (like yogurt) and 6 different types of jams and marmalades! Trust me, it's amazingly delicious! Also, there was always scrambled eggs (from homemade eggs), milk rice (did not try), rice and chocolate rice flakes and balls, milk, orange juice ($ 2)... For a full breakfast, I think more than enough, or you are at home cooking more? I also forgot about the super delicious donuts that are cooked in front of you, and you yourself sprinkle with the necessary amount of powder or honey at your discretion. For dinner, several types of Turkish sweets were served. But my stomach could no longer stand this and I just tried a piece of each.

The only drawback of the food is the lack of normal tea. Oddly enough, the Turks drink some kind of chemical that is dissolved in water. The coffee was more or less decent, three kinds of wine, but all dry. In addition, there was vodka, beer, gin, crayfish, whiskey, cola. sprite, fanta and water. I preferred red wine (not very sour and pleasant), coffee and water. At one time I was carried away by gin with sprite, for which my stomach took revenge on me. If you want to drink normal tea, I recommend taking a kettle and the tea itself with you. As you can see, there is something to eat in Kemal Bay. I will only say that all the food is undersalted and under-peppered, but I don’t understand why they complain about this O_o Do you want the Turks to salt and season it for you, as for themselves? Then more than half could not eat at all, and given the fact that there are many children in the hotel, everything was done correctly. Or do you have a hand to break off to add salt to your taste? Before me, a woman stood and stuffed the pockets of her stretched dressing gown with refined sugar, which lay for coffee in large bowls. It's embarrassing, by God! Or when there is a queue for donuts, a married couple collected a huge plate (30 pieces), although it’s a no brainer that they won’t eat it.
The attendants were distinguished by their upbringing and courtesy. My husband just did not like the hotel guide Turan, like many others. But personally, I did not come across him, since I slept through the introductory lecture on the first day. We did not go on excursions, but were only in the hammam at the hotel. We did not see that we were rudely answered or ignored the request, there is always a smile on the face. One waiter even took us under his care and took us a trump seat in the sea view, brought drinks, although he had a lot of work without us.
The sea is just excellent, clean and with fish. My husband even saw two moray eels about 10 meters from the shore, but there is nothing to be afraid of, it is deep there (three meters). There are a lot of fish and crabs, there are red akitinia in the holes of the pier, so don’t put your fingers in too much - they will sting. The sea is not very suitable for children, because three meters is deep. To the left of the pier there is a stone slab where different fish hang out. If you go around the pier, you will find a very decent beach, the sea with soft sand. It’s good for kids to swim there, but there are big stones.
There was no animation in the hotel. In the morning there was water aerobics, funny, but tired on the third day. There was also water polo, which boys and men enjoyed playing, darts, volleyball, table tennis and tennis. The children did not get bored: from morning until evening, animators worked with them, arranged competitions for them in the amphitheater, talked, sang and drew. For adults, especially animation was not provided, but the children liked everything. In the evening there was a disco, it seems not bad, but drinks are paid there.

Now a little about the room: the remote did not work from the TV (but we did not watch it), the sink did not leak well (but if you turned on a small stream, you could brush your teeth). Cleaned regularly and efficiently, tips did not affect it. Once we made swans, it was very nice. We did not run around the hotel and did not try to achieve justice, but simply rested. Especially since we only slept in the room. but during the day they didn't show up. There is a safe in the room, $2 per day. The bar always put water, but we did not take money for it.
On the penultimate day, I managed to get sunstroke and overheating, after a painful night, my husband went to the hotel doctor in the morning. After 10 minutes, we were taken by car to the hospital, where we had an examination, placed in an air-conditioned room and put on a drip for 4 hours. At that time, my husband was offered to sit with me on a folding sofa. Thanks to the medical insurance, otherwise I would not have flown home in such a bad condition that I was in. Finally, they gave me medicine for nausea and fever, and the doctor himself, with jokes and jokes, took us back to the hotel.
I don’t know, maybe I forgot to write something, I will gladly answer all questions.
