Rested from April 30 with a child (10 years old).
Tour operator: S7tour.
Departure from Domodedovo at 4 am. I had to get to the airport by taxi (900 rubles - City taxi). The level of control at the airport exceeds expectations. Everything is very strict: take off your shoes, belts, watches, keys, mobile phone - all through an x-ray machine; in shoe covers (without shoes) you go through a full body scan through the x-ray cabin. Likewise with a child. The customs did not notice (the "green" channel), the border guards - 40 seconds. Only a passport is enough for a child, no one even asked for a birth certificate or a vacuum from the mother to travel abroad. Duty free at the airport at prices are not much different from Moscow shops. Departure on time. The service on board is very good: free fresh press (Komsomolskaya Pravda, Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Vedomosti, + magazines), juices / mineral water, then breakfast (salad, hot (porridge + chicken / beef), cheese, butter, bun, still water, 2 chocolates ), and finally - coffee, tea. Flight time is about 2 hours 50 minutes.
After boarding: purchase of a visa stamp (20 dollars / 15 euros - they promise to cancel it, but so far, alas (((), passport control (10 seconds), I haven’t seen customs at the entrance. The queue for visa stamps is long, we stood for about 20 minutes. After collecting your luggage, you can go to Duty-free (yes, don't be surprised, it is at the entrance to Turkey that you can look into Dutik. ) I recommend buying cigarettes, they are expensive in Turkey, and are also a great present for locals.
Meeting party: Summer tour. When you exit the airport building, a person with a Samma Tura sign tells you where you need to go to get on the bus for transfer to the hotel. The bus is good, air-conditioned, clean, mini-bar (for the money: 0.5 euros - mini-water, 1 - fanta, 2 - beer). The driver will place your luggage in the luggage compartment of the bus. The minus of the general transfer is that you came first, but nothing, you will have to sit and wait for all the remaining passengers who can go to Dutik, run into a cafe, take a picture at the airport, chat with new friends, etc. You should not be so upset about it right away, remember that an INDIVIDUAL transfer would cost you from 100 euros. Take care of your nerves and save 100 euros. Travel time to the hotel is about 2 hours, including a 15-minute stop at a roadside cafe.
Upon arrival at the hotel check-in for 15 minutes. The staff is very helpful, smiling. Russian is spoken very poorly. The main language is English. Upon check-in, you leave a deposit of 5 euros / 7 dollars for the key to the safe in your room. You go to the room lightly, the luggage is taken for you after a couple of minutes ($ 1 - tip). Tipping, by the way, no one asks for and nothing hints at it. In any case, they smile at you and are very helpful.
The room is spacious. One double and one single bed, LCD TV, mini-bar with refrigerator, bedside tables, table, chair, desk, wardrobe with shelves and hangers, balcony. On the balcony - a plastic table and 2 chairs to it, a dryer. Bathroom with bathtub. Everything is very clean. Hairdryer, shower cap, soap and 2 shampoos. In the refrigerator daily and free of charge - cola, fanta, 2 mineral waters with gas and 1 without gas. Also in the room there are sewing kits, matches, an ashtray. There is a telephone in the room, but you can only be called at the reception, from which they will already connect to a specific number. The rooms are locked with plastic key cards issued to you. In the room, all the power supply works only after you insert this key card into a special slot. The air conditioner also turns on only when you are in the room.
Corridors, halls in the hotel are very chic, cozy and beautiful. You can relax on soft chairs, leather sofas. Elevators are open (one of the walls is made of glass and you / you can see everything around during the descent / ascent).
We were unlucky with the view from our room. The hotel looks like the letter "P". One side of which overlooks the busy Alanya-Antalya highway and even with the windows closed you can hear cars passing by. For this reason, the balcony has to be closed at night, and the air conditioner turned on (the sound from the air conditioner is an unforgettable hum). But on the second day we went down to the reception and we were seamlessly (and without additional stimulation in cash) provided with another room. Now our windows overlooked the courtyard of the hotel and the sea. Since that time we have slept with an open balcony, it is not hot and the sound of the sea is very calming.
Nutrition. The hotel has a main restaurant, 5 bars. All Turkish alcohol, beer, coffee / tea, juices, mineral water - free of charge around the clock. The food is very good. The choice is huge. There are always meat dishes (chicken, lamb, beef). Grilled chicken, chicken or beef chops, lamb cutlets, barbecue. There are a lot of salads. In the morning - yogurt, muesli, cereals, omelettes, boiled / fried eggs, butter, jams, chocolate and fresh pastries (ovens right in the restaurant and you get freshly baked buns). For lunch and dinner, even more food, everything is always fresh. Of the fruits in early May, there were only oranges and apples. Although we bought strawberries and cherries at the market. From the restaurant without any problems you can grab oranges or apples, buns. At 4 pm - free ice cream, pancakes and cakes with cakes. You don’t even have to worry about food, all your bold assumptions will be justified and even surpassed.
Pools, beach. The hotel has 2 large outdoor pools, a small children's pool and a pool near the slides. In addition, the hotel has an indoor heated swimming pool. Sunbeds were always available by the pools and by the beach. Beach with umbrellas, the entrance to the sea is a large pebble. The main plus is a large pier on the beach, from which a ladder is descended into the sea. It was from her that it was convenient to go into the sea and back. The water in the sea is about 20 C, you can swim without any problems. When leaving the sea - showers with clean water to wash off the salt water.
Animation. Animators - 8-10 people (girls from Ukraine and the Russian Federation, guys - Turks). Children's animation from 10 am to 5 pm and a disco from 20-30 to 21-00. Young animators, the children always had something to do (drawing not only on paper, but also on the face; outdoor games, playing on the water in the pool, playing pirates around the hotel, etc. ), everything was always interesting and fun. Adult animation - darts, beach ball games, water gymnastics, etc. Evening program from 21-15 to 22-30.
Contingent. 20% - Russians / Belarusians and other CIS; 50% - Germans, 20% - French, 10% - others (Estonians, Poles, Lithuanians). You will hear German, French speech more often than Russian. The animators say everything with a 3rd translation, especially for children, where the animators act as translators between a 5-year-old German girl and a 10-year-old Russian. Europeans are mostly from 45 and above (more precisely, closer to 60 years). Nevertheless, the hotel is for families with children. Almost everyone is vacationing with children or rather old elderly couples. The atmosphere is family.
SPA. The hotel has a free Turkish bath, a psychological relaxation room (walls-aquariums, birds singing, a parrot without a cage, twilight, sun loungers), a winter garden (with tangerine and other trees). Separately for the money - massage (children from $ 15, adults from $ 25 per session), baths (honey, milk, chocolate, etc. ), hot stone massage, spas, treatment of the skin of the face, legs, hands, etc....Positive moment: none of the staff in the spa hints / offers / extorts / hints at the possibility of treatment / massage / procedures for money. They are, but all in the correct form: you applied, you were told, and so - please come in and relax at least in the hamamma (Turkish bath, sauna), even in the indoor pool. I did a massage for a child - the impressions are the best.
Conclusions: If possible, feel free to go to this hotel. You are guaranteed to like it there.
