My holiday in Turkey was great!
But here I will describe our stay at Club Tropical more.
Tour operator AnexTour, flight Utair (aircraft with embroidery) - this is for those who fly from Kyiv (by the way, this airline is served in the new terminal D of Boryspil airport, unlike other charters). + the food on the plane is excellent (believe me, there is something to compare with, even the leaders of European air transportation, such as AirFrance KLM, etc. , the food is so-so, well, this is information for those who like to eat : -)).
Quite quickly, they brought us to the hotel from Antalya airport, the bus was small, we made one stop, where everyone was encouraged to try Turkish goat milk ice cream - delicious, but expensive, $ 3, but the ice cream master shows a whole performance.
Information for those who are going to rest in this region next year: all Turks unanimously claim that a new international terminal will open in Alanya, which will greatly simplify the transfer.
Settlement: and one unpleasant moment for the whole vacation, or rather one unpleasant person in the hotel - an evil uncle at the reception, who is not that in Russian, he also doesn’t speak English either)) They gave him passports, dressed we were immediately sent bracelets and sent to the bar, they said to wait about an hour, but after 15 minutes the porter came for us and took us to the room (by the way, we arrived somewhere at 10 am, and we didn’t have to wait until 1.00 at all). Although there was a strange case at the reception: the guy screamed tearfully and did not want to give his passport (I don’t even know how he wanted to be accommodated) and remained waiting, sitting on a suitcase, until all the documents were processed.
Room: clean, tidy, one thing I didn’t like was that there were three beds for the two of us (my mother and I), but as it turned out later, the hotel was packed and there were no free rooms. Furniture in eco-style pleased. We lived in the second building on the first floor, right next to the small pool.
We quickly got used to our room and did not ask to be moved. Cleaned every day, often changed towels and bedding. The air conditioner also worked well, but to tell you the truth, it wasn't that hot on the first floor, so you could just sleep with the window open at night. Safe in the room for a fee: $3 per day + $10 per key on bail. Wi-fi like $5 (as far as I heard) - but I didn't need it: complete isolation and rest from the Internet! I advise everyone!
At the reception, they took beach towels on a deposit of $ 10 apiece, the money was returned all upon check-out.
The territory of the hotel is magical! Everything is very beautiful, there are a lot of flowers, palm trees, there are date trees, cacti, there are with edible fruits, but for some reason no one eats them, etc. Everything is very monitored, cared for and watered.
Cleanliness is also everywhere, the paths and the space around the pools are washed every day, once in the morning I saw a big general cleaning around the large pool, and the pools themselves are washed like every other day in the evenings, but the water is changed every night. After 1.30 it is no longer possible to swim. About how to borrow sunbeds by the pools, it has already been repeatedly written in previous comments - I confirm everything, but I am one of those who occupied - and lay)) The water in the large pool turned into "fresh milk" in the late afternoon. The beach is within easy reach, the water in the sea is clean, very warm and very salty! There are plenty of sunbeds on the beach and there is plenty of room for everyone. As for the coast and the entrance to the sea - a little extreme, but absolutely tolerable. Such is the coast here, what can you do.
The guides of the tour operator are very friendly and ready to help if there are difficulties in the hotel (they speak Russian very well).
They came to the information meeting on the second day, it all took about 15 minutes, they explained to the guide that excursions were not our element, we came to "lie down", he understood everything and did not bother anymore. We just decided to go to the hammam, found out from the locals, advised us - Hanzade in Konakli, it cost $ 35 - it was like in a fairy tale! I advise everyone!
Food: I was lucky, the food in the hotel is cooked the way I like it) Some delicious meat and a lot of delicious vegetables and sweets and fruits for dessert! The restaurant is located right next to the water and eating when the sea splashes under your feet is a pleasure! There was the same story as with the sunbeds: the first and the hungry Sami fled and took places near the sea. We were smarter, walked a little after the start of the meal and almost always also sat near the water. In the morning, a cheerful cook cooked scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs, sang funny songs and said something funny in Russian.
Be sure to try Turkish tea, very tasty (two taps from the barrel: the right one - tea leaves, the left one - boiling water)! I didn’t even look at an afternoon snack and a hamburger, it’s too much for my stomach, but they said it was delicious.
Staff: wonderful (except for the uncle at the reception! ). The guys in the dining room, the cooks, the guys at the bar, the women who clean the rooms - everyone is very friendly! I learned a few phrases in Turkish and used them actively, which greatly simplified the stay and increased the pleasure. Personally, my opinion on this matter: if I'm going to a foreign country, then out of respect for it and its inhabitants, I must learn at least elementary phrases! I saw different things there, the ignorance and "pomp" of our person sometimes drove me crazy (
Bar.
What is poured for free: from non-alcoholic - fanta, cola, sprite, mineral water, tea, coffee, bottled water $ 1, from alcoholic - Tuborg beer, dry red and white wine (excellent), vodka, gin, whiskey, crayfish (Turkish vodka ) - I didn’t try all this, I heard how others ordered, they interfere with sprite, cola, etc. - that’s a cocktail)) Cocktails and expensive drinks for money, the menu immediately lies on the bar. The guys at the bar are all good, only one was sometimes dissatisfied - to find a special approach to him and everything is OK) Yes, and the bar closed at midnight.
Animation. Yes, not bad) Darts, archery, beach volleyball, water gymnastics, water polo in a large pool (it was always played only by men and, I tell you, quite tough). The animators do not get it, but they will not leave you bored. Music plays all day - good music, I really liked it!
Animators - Turks, two guys and a girl who took care of the children, very, very funny and cool guys, they talked to everyone, approached everyone, entertained everyone. In the evening, the show program - you roll up with laughter, I don’t know how anyone, I was always insanely fun and funny) Disco at 2.30 near the second bar, behind the restaurant: music yells and doesn’t interfere with anyone in the rooms + near the water! On my last evening, the animators gathered the group to go to the Summer Garden disco ( http://www. summer-garden. com/) in Konakli - $ 15 entrance + cocktail (and of course the transfer, the animators accompany and you can not be afraid at all), I really wanted to get in, but that evening something happened to the electricity at the disco and the trip was postponed to the next day (
Purchases. We crossed the road, sat down on the bus, $ 1 and to Konakli, and carefully, do not miss the city center! (you can also go to Alanya, then you don’t need to cross the road, $ 2), bus 50, it says Alanya Konakli, runs exactly until 2.00.
Trade, trade and trade again! It's so much fun, and the sellers themselves are very fond of it. In the market everyone speaks Russian, I was surprised. It is better to buy sweets and souvenirs there (back, when we were going to the airport, there was a stop near the store, where everything is 3.4 times more expensive! When you go back, just show the driver a bracelet with the name of the hotel, they will stop near it.
Eviction. We left the hotel at 1.30, but we didn’t want to leave the room at 12 o’clock, so we went to the reception to negotiate. You can stay in a room for $30, but other tourists were supposed to drop into our room, so we were offered a single room in building 5. The uncle asked for 40, talked for the same $ 30) By the way, in the kitchen you can ask for a lunch package.
Do not forget to leave a tip, because in fact it is little money, but by doing this you will significantly improve your time in this country, a good attitude is guaranteed.
And in conclusion, a little lyrics (I hope you are not tired of reading my review yet) I was in Turkey for the first time and certainly not the last! This country has been added to the list of favorites, my opinion about it has changed dramatically for the better. I really want to visit here not as a tourist. I will come here again, that's for sure!
Well, if you still doubt whether to go or not, make up your mind! , in any case, whatever your experience will be, it will be invaluable to you. And, of course, do not forget a good mood, without it a great vacation will not work anywhere)))
I just want to wish that your pastime in this wonderful country and in this wonderful, special hotel was as magnificent and unforgettable as mine!
