Iberostar - a large Spanish chain - there are hotels all over the world, so they can perfectly keep the brand. A lot of their own - starting from towels, napkins, clothes on staff - everything is monogrammed - as I understand it, a starfish. The hotel is above average in Turkey. Well, the price is right. By the way, Banderas starred in their advertisement - the video is played on internal TV.
We, when we flew, just like you now : ), shoveled a mountain of reviews on the Web. And a small cart.
There are few people in the Antalya region, in general, you can say how Crimeans are for us, in winter it is deserted. It seems that all the Turks are in another part of Turkey. Turkish flags on all hills.
Large tour operators - in descending order - anextur, pegasus, teztur, turtess, etc. There are certain subtleties ...Anex, such an impression, "holds" the whole of Turkey. Wherever you spit - Anex advertising is everywhere. Including in Kyiv in every transition on Khreshchatyk. We flew on a charter - a windrose company - a rose of the winds.
Part of the Kolomoisky corporation "Wag" - (Aerosvit, Dnepravia, etc. ) (The stewardesses there are sexy - to be honest, the first time I see this - they were dressed under Marilyn - blue tight satin short dresses, with a deep neckline and a white scarf around the neck It can be seen that some were not very comfortable in such an outfit - neither bend down, nor turn around and not buckle up).
We were fed on the plane.
When they flew away, more people were added than at the beginning of May. The sea is excellent. But for some reason, few people swam - mostly we - me and my half). I don’t like to swim in hotel pools and I don’t advise (and in this too ... ). Well, except perhaps if the sea is frozen : ) Dofiga Germans (mostly, as I understand it, hard workers - my half was dissatisfied with their behavior - I think the reasons are objective), "our" delivery went. We left on the eve of May 9 - I don’t know what was there) But the Russian flag was already hanging on the balcony)
The staff is polite, not rude (except for the stubborn SPA).
Some people smile (though I don't know how you can smile if you've been working half the night). Among the staff there are "compatriots". Basically, they are blondes.
The air temperature on May 10 was already about 30.
On excursions, you can go to the temple of St. Nicholas (aka Santa Claus, aka Santa Claus) - Mira-Demre for the whole day, almost a tour.
Well, it's as you wish, with excursions. In general, I do not recommend many excursions - it takes all day, and in Pamukkale - at least two. On excursions at stops, do not be fooled by goods that will be sold through guides - prices are 3-4 times higher than usual. Belek is overpriced too. The nearest ATM in Belek. You can bargain in the shops at the hotel. But shopping is not very good at all - but you didn’t fly there for that, did you?
Take the main building (we lived there). Bungalow is better not to take, do not save. Why? Bungalow, although not far from the main building, but it seems to be on the outskirts.
In the main, I went down by an elevator (there are three of them) - and you are right next to a barrel of wine : ) or in the main restaurant (you can’t call it a canteen). In addition, if you want to go naked to the balcony (and you want to : ), it will be inconvenient, because almost all the internal balconies of the bungalow are viewed with a bang. And here, in a neighboring review, a neighbor wrote: "We lived in a bungalow, everything would be fine, but the balconies are very close, you can hear everything)))), like in the same apartment ... ))), other people's children waking up early, etc. . . "
And then, taking a bungalow is bad manners ...
When checking in, you can give a ten - they will check in in 15-20 minutes (no need to wait until 2 pm - the official check-in time) and they will give you a normal room. In principle, you can not give. Although they can settle from the side of the tank either with gas or with nitrogen, right above the trash cans (if you stand with your back to the sea, then this is the left wing of the main building). We lived on the sixth in the left wing - a great view towards Antalya and the sea.
The only thing - we, it turns out, had one room from a two-room family room (the door between the rooms is not soundproof), and the Germans lived there. I can imagine how they were "delivered" by my mating roar of a deer.
Take a lot of small dollar bills - for tea ...in general, keep a lot of small bills in your wallet. Although you may not tip. They may think badly, but no one will peep.
There is free Wi-Fi - Skype even pulls with one-way video. The password must be taken at the reception. In general, in Turkey it is "tough" with the Internet - like, providers monitor traffic. After we left, I heard that Vkontakte was officially blocked at the state level.
The food is tough - VERY good (they cook it right in front of you) and there are a lot of it - different types (it’s profitable for the family to go ...well, or if you weigh over one and a half centners) - you come and you can’t get out of overeating. IT IS MANDATORY TO TAKE PILLS for digestion (such as mezim, etc. )
) and take a lot of greens (arugula, for example) - it helps. Gained these days - from 3 to 5 kg, I apologize for the intimate details)
Type of food: Ultra All inclusive - Efes beer (the Germans jam it with barrels), wine (white, red, pink - how much you drink), cocktails for free (for example, chichi, bluemun). B-52 in my opinion was for the money. "Pure" whiskey, vodka and the like for money. They started giving strawberries. Ice cream. Several bars (including a fish bar) near the beach - sometimes they didn’t reach the main lunch. Literally.
The attendants are specifically screwed - sometimes they even feel sorry for them - although there seems to be not very good with work in Turkey in that area. Towels are changed every day (throw used ones on the floor). There was a hair dryer in the room. Ear sticks, body and head gel, toilet paper, beds made every day. You can put a dollar on the bed. Sometimes they lay out a towel with a heart with rose petals (but not once at a time).
There is a condo, but we turned it on a couple of times, and then spat - an open balcony is better (if the balcony door is not normally closed, the condo does not work). True, it was at the beginning of the season.
Animators are groovy - a normal person is not able to dance and sing until 22.00-23.00 ...
In no case do you go to the SPA for 100 bucks (in the neighboring Papillon it is less than 50 bucks - there are even excursions there (! ) for this price - moreover, this price includes transfer and insurance : ) ) (SPA is intrusive - politely refuse... or impolitely), and if massage, then only Thai Naom. Does a massage according to all the rules (my soul mate was in Thailand - she says, as in Thailand).
I could write further, but it's time to sleep - we're tired. Everything else is in the comments.
In general, I liked it. I will not go to this hotel again (there are still a lot of hotels in Turkey where I have not been) - but I will keep in mind Iberostar in other countries.
For now, good luck, take care of yourself and your loved ones.
Threat I will supplement as questions come to the mail.
***Incoming questions***:
Q: I understand about small dollars! By the way, a question in passing, they told me here that small euros should be dragged there! But as I understand it, dollars are still in use (I just haven’t been to Turkey, but here I had to fly for work).
A: The Turks have most of the prices in euros...but these prices, as I understand it, are for Europeans. As soon as they see "ours" the price (figure) is the same...but in dollars =) And, of course, it's too high. So take dollars and do not torture your head (and save at the same time). Well, bargain. The Turks (well, the "former ours", who are in the sellers) have become hostages of the system - everyone knows that it is necessary to bargain in Turkey and therefore they are bargaining, and the sellers are forced to set unrealistic prices =)
Q: And about tips, I’ve heard they say it’s customary for them to leave everything for a tip =) Here in Egypt they left from $ 1 to $ 5, depending on who and for what! And what are the "rates" of the Turks? (I ask not out of greed at all, but just to keep abreast of things).
In principle, as I understand it, "tea" is needed only by the maid, and then at will =).
O: Well, yes. The dollar is the standard. But the maid - not necessarily. What's more, they're changing. That is, you can not get on the one that "needs" for the swans. The guide himself told - at the end of the trip - as gratitude - the dollar is accepted. I gave at the beginning : ) (wife - at the end), maybe she will come to her senses, because even their experienced drivers are blowing a tower on the roads - the only thing is that they try to observe the speed limit, because there are photo-video recorders with "letters of happiness" (fines as for a Turk - draconian There are discounts - you pay in the first week - you get a discount =)). And so - cut, do not give way, brake sharply, etc. - a nice thing for them. Do not give way - the main thing). Roads are awesome. True, mostly over the cliffs)
Q: Is there a safe in the room, and how "dumb" is it to leave things in the room unattended (well, I mean a laptop, a camera, etc. )
A: There is a safe, on the ball.
The only thing is to go to the reception, ask for such a magnetic bolt, put it in the safe and set the code - there is an instruction in Russian. Only passports, tickets (for the return trip =) and loot were hidden in the safe. In the room in prominent places lay: two laptops, 3 phones, 1 camera, a pair of gold chains and rings. Nobody touched. For Turks, work is important. At least in this hotel : ) However, once at a time is not necessary.
Q: Is it possible to walk along the shore just along other hotels? (well, not taking sunbeds . . just to take a walk). Or are there barriers somehow and drive?
A: According to Turkish law, no one has the right to fence off the coast (by the way, in their schools, like in ours, are you a Turk? They have - are you Russian? think about it ... ). I did not go far along the coast, but you can go to any hotel on the coast nearby. Theoretically - even walk along the coast to Antalya.
Q: Did you happen to see "points" with bike rentals somewhere nearby? !
O: I didn't see it.
But prices should be tough - if there is something from 5 euros / day for a stroller, then for a bicycle ... )
Q: What are the average taxi rates (for example to Antalya). . if suddenly used!
A: I haven't used it. But the prices seem to be tough too. If gasoline is 3-4 times more expensive than in Ukraine (and in Ukraine, of course, a little more expensive than in central Russia). 95% of all cars in the Antalya region are small cars. Jeep cat cried (but there is). Near Antalya itself there are car dealerships, in my opinion, of ALL the world's automakers. There are minibuses, but they are either until 20.00, or until 22.00. And somehow without a schedule or something. If full - figs will stop. But they didn't go. The tour guide spoke. It is true that the Turks say - divide by at least two.
B: Hello, we have booked a double standard room with extra bed. place for a child.
The tour operator could not explain how this extra will be presented. place-sofa or euro folding bed. Could you answer how it was, not crowded in the room?
It's just that we have an almost 13-year-old child and we began to worry about whether she would fit in the nursery. crib))
with uv. Tatyana
A: Alas, I can’t tell you, we went without our children. Room as a room - for two adults as we are not crowded. What do adults need? That's right, a double bed; ) True, there she was not a double bed - like two shifted together. But one was enough for us. Moreover, they tried not to spend a lot of time in the room. The other rooms were not.
We, when we flew, just like you now : ), shoveled a mountain of reviews on the Web. And a small cart.
