Don't listen to anyone!!! ! We have been vacationing in Turkey with children for many years, mainly in Belek, but then we went to Antalya to Dolphin on the advice of our agent! And we are very glad that we were there! We are not poor people and my husband has requests, but we liked everything and our friends too! Children are happy, especially from the carousels that are located on the territory of the hotel! Nobody got poisoned. Now we are going to another hotel in Belek - I started reading reviews - they also write about these poisonings and rotoviruses, the water in the pool is poisoned, the food too, the children are vomiting, etc. - all nonsense!! ! Think for yourself, during the season, in one hotel there are from 300 to 600 children at the same time, depending on the hotel, and if among them 1.2, 3.4, 5.6... children are poisoned, and their parents write negative reviews on the sites, then there is nothing abnormal in this, as for our kindergartens, and there is not any epidemic! Our friends, for example, rested in Bulgaria and rented apartments and cooked for themselves, but both of their children were poisoned, so they flew here - one wonders, who is to blame here ?? ? BUT? WATCH THE KIDS!!!
Moms and dads, remember a few rules for families with children and everything will be ok!
1) Watch your children - where they climb, what they put in their mouths, etc. Instead of hanging out with a book in sun loungers and with a glass in bars, and children rush about anywhere!

2) Do not let your mouth slurp water from the pool and when riding downhill! And in the sea you do not need to drink water and eat sand! ))
3) Wash your hands with soap!
4) Do not feed children with unusual and new food abroad! Choose close to national! Believe me, you can find it in the hotel! For small children, take food with you! I had a second child 10 months. the mixture was carrying its own, canned meat and instant cereals! Juice and their water suits us fine and ate their yogurt and baby food in jars also went well. And so there is a blender there and I made vegetable purees from steamed vegetables from the diets of the table, everything is there! And give the little kids broths from the diets of the table - beef, chicken and turkey, and not Turkish puree soups! For the second child, 8 years old, she also watched him herself, put food on him, and did not let him grab everything in a row and everything is ok!
5) Bring a pharmacy with you, antidiarrheals and antipyretics in the first place, and do not run to the local pharmacy! And adults often have poisoning and acclimatization - not like children!
6) There are electric kettles in the rooms, but I ask you not to boil tap water in them! Pour and boil their bottled water, it is everywhere - in restaurants and minibars in the room! For little children who react to water changes (mothers should know this, at least in summer cottages), bring your water from Russia! I was carrying a canister of Agushi water)))), but I tried them - it went fine and diluted the mixture on it later!

7) Most poisonings and colds do not happen in the hotel itself, but on the way to it or back and on local excursions! Therefore, be careful about food on airplanes (hot, salted fish and cold cuts), better be patient yourself and don’t let your children drink coffee or juice with a bun or chocolate! And don't point the air conditioners at you on the plane - because of them, most colds and sinusitis - you won't have time to notice it already! It’s usually cold on airplanes, dress the children warmer so that later you can take off your jacket, for example, otherwise they fly in shorts and a T-shirt alone and the kids sit in goosebumps, and then they go out into the heat abruptly and hello! A long tracksuit and a T-shirt is the most ideal and comfortable option! (This is if you fly in the summer).
8) If you take food from a restaurant with you to the beach or to the pool (it is allowed there and many Russians carry plates of food, although there are a lot of places around where you can eat during the day), then at least make sure that your children do not eat from this plate when it will stand in the sun for several hours, and I do not advise you to eat it yourself! THROW OUT EVERYTHING, or better not take anything from restaurants with you! Watermelons and melons quickly deteriorate in the sun, not to mention eggs, sausage, cheese, cakes!
9) Always wear hats for children during the day and during bathing too !! ! They sit in the pools for hours, and the water bakes even more! Many children (and adults, too, by the way, especially drunk and sleeping in the sun) get sunstroke there! The first signs of sunstroke are fever, chills, vomiting and diarrhea! From here - most people can take it (and take it) for poisoning - and begin to be treated for the wrong thing and find fault with the hotel kitchen!
WELL, LIKE EVERYTHING, ALL GOOD REST! )))
And about the attitude towards the Russians - as you behave the way you are treated! Our couple was very loved and knew everyone by name and maids and managers and waiters! And Muscovites and Ukrainians, with their pathos and attitude towards the Turks as an inferior race, are to blame! We have seen enough of these - ashamed of you COMRADES! )))) They will save up for 5-ku and come to bend their fingers - what do you want in return - they also have pride - even though he is a waiter or someone else! You have to be better! And show off less! But Moscow is a separate issue - it’s the other way around - there is money and everyone owes and owes it to them - damn kings! ))) I'm sorry for the criticism - this does not apply to everyone, but there are such personnel....they are reaping the rewards and spoiling the reputation of all other Russians!
