We traveled as a family of 2 adults and 2 children aged 11 and 11 months.
When choosing a hotel, they were based on the needs of the youngest and my desire to relax in a quiet, calm environment.
So we chose:
- club hotel with a large green shady area
- the presence of slides for the older and good playground and a children's table for the younger
- the priority was Belek with its pine groves
- the priority was a good price / quality ratio
Rest were very satisfied.
A good, solid, self-aware five.
Not luxury, not prudish, a little old-fashioned (if I'm not mistaken, the hotel is 15 years old) - rustic rooms, as for the five and some details of the infrastructure - on the other hand, almost all club hotels sin with this.
Nevertheless, the service is at a very high level - to the staff, and to EVERYTHING (reception desk, quest relations, maids, bartenders, waiters - RESPECT !! ! - friendly, attentive, positive, helpful, all questions (accommodation, a crib for a child, questions about a safe, doctor's call) were resolved promptly on the first call.
The room is spacious (double bed + chair for the elder + crib for the younger + refrigerator, dressing table, chest of drawers, coffee table, banquette + the stroller and a couple of suitcases calmly became and there was a lot of space for the younger to frolic).
Of the pluses in the room: plasma TV, the presence of a safe, the presence of a kettle and a supply of tea / coffee, a daily replenished bar / 2 juices, canned beer and Pepsi, 2 small. bottle of water and 1 large/.
Territory: large, well-groomed, green. Lots of greenery, trees, bushes, flowers, shade; artificial streams and waterfalls really enliven the territory and moisturize the air well.
The territory is well planned, no - superbly planned - a lot of lounge areas where you can retire.
With a 100% occupancy hotel, I could always find a quiet corner where I could breastfeed my baby and put him to bed, knowing that he would not be woken up by noise. And for yourself, find a free hammock or deck chair and take a nap or read in silence to the singing of birds.
/ There are a lot of birds, pigeons, sparrows and, it seems, thrushes and some other birds. /
Sea. Sand beach. The beach is wide and long. The entrance to the sea is gentle, you can almost walk to the buoys (I exaggerate).
There are a lot of loungers. There are always places on sun loungers, and in hammocks, on swing hammocks. The beach staff carries the mattresses to the sunbeds, and just like that and on request.
River. Between the hotel and the beach there is a river, which immediately flows into the sea. The river is very nice, from the side of the hotel there is a promenade along it. A sliding bridge leads to the beach.
In the river with us, a man caught crabs, just on a fishing line with a piece of meat tied to it.
I was pleased with the SPA - very decent, with a good range of services and very friendly staff. My husband and I took several sessions of medical massage. / Only Emilia, a woman who invites to the SPA on the beach, gives a good discount, the girls in the SPA itself apparently do not have the authority to do this / Wonderful free Turkish bath, sauna, and steam room with aromatic oils, and an indoor cold water pool and jacuzzi. She regretted that she was busy with the child and at the very beginning did not order a hammam with foam massage, peeling and massage with aroma oil.
We were pleased with the Turkish themed evenings - cameleers with camels and donkeys were invited to them and rolled the kids for free. Everyone was conquered by the ice cream man - just a magician - from the distribution of ice cream he arranged whole shows from which it was impossible to take your eyes off, with humor and jokes he gave out each serving of unusual viscous ice cream.
Pleased with Turkish cakes. They were made in two places: near the central pool - the original ones with meat and cottage cheese were made by a Turkish woman, on the beach - based on lavash with meat, cottage cheese and chocolate paste.
Freshly squeezed juice - you could make yourself for breakfast (orange) or drink at the vitamin bar from 11:00 to 16:00 (orange, grapefruit, carrot or tomato) there are 4 types of ice cream at this time.
Animation. The animators are friendly, positive, sociable, arrange good activities during the day (volleyball, water polo, archery, bocha, oriental and latin dances, capoeira, etc. ), but in general the animation is weak.
The animation consists of Turkish guys who look and behave quite professionally (apparently they have been working for more than a season), and 12 guys and girls from Lutsk from Ukraine - dancers - graduates of the Institute of Culture - what can I say, they try, but all dance performances and costumes are very weak . The beach party, Miss Fan Flying and Mr Fan Flying, were not bad, the promoted Moulin Rouge disappointed. We did not go, but they say that the karaoke evening was an unexpected success - there were several people with good voices who brightened up the evening.
!!! Oh yes, I really liked it - every evening a portable bar was arranged on the main square, where the Cocktail of the Day was distributed - not all the cocktails were liked, but it was very nice.
I also liked the free Turkish coffee in the evenings.
I liked the live music in the evenings, in my opinion they invite her every other day, sitting comfortably at a table with coffee and baileys to relax to quiet unobtrusive melodies.
! Surprised! It was in the room! Pillow Menu!! ! It was possible to order one of 5 types to choose from. This is the first time I've come across this. We were surprised, but because and the mattresses and pillows were very comfortable - I slept very well - then they did not bother with it.
! Surprised too! The hotel part of the vacationers (we were among them) sent out invitations to visit Letuniya in Marmaris for 3 days for free, with a transfer there and back + a boat trip. It was nice, but we didn't want to be dragged back and forth with luggage and a small child. The guys who went were happy.
Healthy:
The rooms in the bungalow and the central building are different. Bungalows have smaller rooms; floor tiles, not carpet; in the c / a shower, not a bath; bungalow 3-4 floor no lift.
I collected this information before the trip, and because there were four of us - more space is better; child, cat learns to walk and likes to sit on the floor - better carpet, not tiles, where you can hurt yourself; the same kid loves to splash every day in the bathroom - resp. shower excluded; + a stroller that you can carry up and down stairs. Therefore, I was initially set to a room in the main building. The girl at the reception gave 20 dollars and asked for a room in the main building - they gave a magnificent room with a sea view.
If it were not for the baby, we would have gladly settled in a bungalow - in any case, my husband was set up just for them - the bungalows, twined with greenery, look very picturesque.
Public.
The hotel is international, a dozen, if not more flags were posted. We met the British, French, Germans, Belarusians, Ukrainians, Russians, Indians, Czechs, but the lion's share of course Russians. Most are very adequate normal guys (probably affects the family orientation of the hotel). Although it was not without soviet pearls and the collective farm, on the whole, the rest was not overshadowed by them.
Food. The drinks.
The food is like everywhere else in Turkish 5 * - the choice is very large. It was easier here than in other fives where we rested,
But there and hotels were more expensive.
Wine for lunch and dinner - surprisingly - notes of troubles. Red and white - worthy, pink - I do not recommend.
A big plus - there was no UPI and similar colored drinks. Instead, local nectars in liter bags.
Apple juice is generally natural.
Baileys and martinis are local substitutes. Local baileys - I went : )), I did not experiment with cocktails.
Children's menu.
It was . . , modest . . , for 11 months. the child is not suitable, for children from 2-3 years old it is the most. At lunch, there was even a separate children's restaurant. Boiled vegetables, meat. There was definitely a blender to beat or chop for kids.
A la carte restaurants - there are 3 of them: Turkish, Chinese, Mediterranean. In Turkish and Mediterranean, you can dine at least every day for free and without an appointment - the food is without any frills, but tasty and there is no fuss as in the central restaurant.
Dinner - $ 15 per person by appointment.
Everyone praises Chinese and Peking duck.
With our mega-active 11 months. fidget, we only dined once in Turkish - it's hard to say something, because. we were constantly distracted by the baby. I liked the atmosphere, because calm service, but with a small impatient child - a direct road to the central restaurant, where the buffet - quickly chose, quickly ate : )).
Belek. Shopping:
Belek is a resort of 5 * hotels, so you should not expect cheap prices there. Initially, we were determined to buy only sweets.
Every half an hour a tractor with a trailer goes from the hotel to Belek for 1.5 lira per person, or a taxi in my opinion for 5 or 7 dollars.
Belek is a small town 15 minutes drive (if it's a tractor, if it's 5 minutes by car) from the hotel. Several shopping streets, behind them are several residential areas, behind them on the outskirts of 2 * - 3 * hotels (I kept thinking who settles there, it is very far from them to the sea, and the beaches seem to all belong to 5 * hotels).
The symbol of Belek is a turtle (or 2 turtles, I forgot) - in honor of which a monument to a turtle was erected in the center of the town (no, well, it is ELEVATED as it is loudly said in relation to this masterpiece : )))) against the backdrop of a three-tiered arched wall.
Why I describe in such detail - near this monument on Saturdays there is a local bazaar - if anyone is interested.
+ they also sell amazing Turkish ice cream!! ! Simply delicious!! ! I practically don't eat ice cream - but this won me over. And it cost a penny either a lira or one and a half balls. Highly recommend!
If there is a desire, Belek is full of all sorts of boutiques with leather, bags, textiles, etc. , somehow we were not inspired.
Sweets:
Sweets can be bought at a hotel in Belek, at a sweets factory on the way to the airport (they will be brought in), in duty free.
We stocked up in Belek (the most economical option offered), at the factory (it’s a little more expensive there, but what kind of fresh one just melts in your mouth - when we tried it, we couldn’t help but buy it), in duty-free (it’s even a little more expensive than on factory, but not critical).
We skimped on a total of somewhere around 150 dollars - but we probably tried the entire range offered on the market : ))
Aquapark:
10 minutes walk from the hotel there is a water park Troy. Looking good. I love water parks, but we did not get out, because. With a baby, it's impossible.
Well, here's what came to mind offhand. If I remember something worthy of attention, I'll add it.
All in all - a wonderful hotel for a quiet, relaxing stay with kids or for senior citizens - there were plenty of quiet European couples over 50.
When choosing a hotel, they were based on the needs of the youngest and my desire to relax in a quiet, calm environment.
So we chose:
- club hotel with a large green shady area
- the presence of slides for the older and good playground and a children's table for the younger
