We really miss the sea, the sun and this hotel as well)
His appearance, of course, is not the most presentable, but at the reception from the very beginning they were very kind. We arrived in the morning, settled at 14. But we did not get bored! By this time, we had already swum in the pool, explored the area, signed up for a hammam, and bought shoes for swimming in the sea.
Already at the reception, Dasha, a Russian, immediately came up to us, she lives there. And extremely obsessively offered us boors. I heard a lot about the hammam at Asia, which is next door, and we signed up there. But, by the way, in vain I rejected Dasha's offer. Hamam in Asia cost 25 bucks and was so-so. And in ours, they said, the hammam is nice and for 20. There is another hotel there - a hammam for 15 dollars. Seems to be good too. But remember that you need to decide on the first day - before tanning.

After the pool, I sat down at a table and out of habit asked the waiter to bring an ashtray. He ran away, brought it, then I found out that it was not part of his duties at all.
It is quite possible to go with children - for mine there was a big and cheerful company. The pool is beautiful, the children could not be pulled out to the sea. Perhaps also because of the stones at the entrance to the sea (more on this below).
The room given was excellent. One of the big pluses was the view from the window - I spread it. Stunning mountain, orange trees, chickens (! ), houses of locals swinging in hammocks during the heat of the day. Thank God, it was not a track that never stops and not a hill, because of which you can’t sleep during the day. During the heat, the air conditioner was turned on. The number was 631, if anything.
Another unconditional plus of the room is its size. There is a double bed, a bedside table with a mirror, a table with TV, a wardrobe. This is a really small room with a strange window, which is embedded so low that it is scary to approach it at first - you will suddenly fall out, especially if you are in a certain state... Then you get used to it.
So. Returning home, we were by no means satisfied with the size of our living space before, we realized that we had, it turns out, mansions! And we thought our apartment was small. Now we feel like kings!
In general, I liked our room - nothing more. Moreover, we only slept there.
As for the water - it was always hot and cold! From other rooms (perhaps those in the wing where the kitchen) complained that yes, there was none.
Entertainment. Disco - five people on the dance floor. Anyway. Some children's animation before the disco. And on Friday there was a "Turkish night" - the hotel workers made a food-show and showed an incendiary Turkish dance))) It was funny.
On the beach, along with ice cream at a price of a dollar, you can take strawberries for free, because this point belongs to a 5 star hotel.

A couple of illustrative cases. My daughter forgot her key in the room (latched the door). I thought they would take a fine, something else. No, immediately a smiling guy from the reception (I think Mustafa) got up twice, opened it, helped. I wanted to give him a couple of dollars, he refused insultedly)
I heard from others that they refuse money. But my chocolates, which I prudently took as gifts, were taken with joy and gratitude)
And not a very pleasant incident. On the last day, she fell ill - after all, her daughter - bought up in the pool, probably. She approached Dasha and asked where to get a thermometer or how to call a doctor. She knows nothing, everything is at the reception. She didn’t ask: who got sick, what happened, but then: well, will you take cream? . . She is only interested in sales.
Okay, let's go to the pharmacy. And what do you think? In a pharmacy, a completely unfamiliar woman in excellent Russian recommended in such a situation the medicine Dolorin Cold, which must be bought in Turkey. And follow us. fly out for a day, and then still get through all of Moscow! I bought it for $ 3 at a nearby pharmacy, and indeed, after the 1st pill, my - like a cucumber! You need to drink at least three (consult your pharmacist! )
So insurance is fake. We were told that it works on the condition that you pay 30 dollars, and then you will be treated. They advised me to take out insurance somewhere in Sberbank (I don’t know the details, I need to find out), there really, everything will be free.
In addition, things have evaporated from our room on trifles. Towel, sandals and something else. Nothing serious, but, as I understand it, then you will not find out anything. This is not a mobile phone or a camera, or money, when you can turn to the "Gendarme". But the loss of shoes caused inconvenience.
As for attitudes, this is the law – both for you and for you. Everyone is friendly, always smiling, especially the cooks at the distribution)) Even ours - with sour mines. In general, it's strange to come on vacation and criticize everyone. You smile - you will smile!

I even sometimes felt sorry for the Turks - they work almost around the clock, seven days a week. And always in good shape, always cheerful. And it's good that alcohol is diluted - let the goat into the cabbage. And we are never satisfied with something. . .
Drinks and food in the room are not allowed - a fine of $ 40. But I always wore coffee, I can't live without it.
The animator went in the evenings, invited to clubs, to Brezhneva's concert and just to parties. 15 dollars. Many of our people went, they said they liked it.
About excursions. Hotel guides really inflate prices. But that's their job. For example, in Hiro-tour you can buy a trip on a pirate yacht for 25, the hotel guide offers for 60, I think. We were taken and brought, especially since these agencies are not the first day and are on every corner.
True, we were recruited to go on Scarlet Sails (Sinbad walks along the beach, offers), it costs 15, for a child 8. But then we regretted a little that we didn’t go on a pirate ship: it’s somehow more civilized, animation, quest. And the audience is happier. So it's better to take it there. Although the route is the same, and there are also many foam discos, it's just that the atmosphere and surroundings are more interesting. And the difference is not that big.
Drinks are not included in the price of the trip.
Of the minuses.
Food queue. At first, you consider it as a fun entertainment) You look around the neighbors, you talk. By the way, I met some of them in the queue)) Then it becomes very annoying and annoying. There is no one to look at - everyone has already seen. This will have to be accepted.
And yes, the food is weird at times. Chicken every evening, but very tasty cooked. On Friday there was meat and there was fish. But trust me, you won't go hungry. Go outside, everywhere everything is cheap, tasty and satisfying. For example, I got better!
Audibility. But after 23 all is quiet.
Breakfast is eggs. But also delicious honey, fresh jam and my favorite peanut butter!
Very tasty rice.
BUT. After breakfast, you go to the beach, and on the way - fruit for $ 2! They spoiled me - it's hard now to buy strawberries for 300 rubles, when I bought 60 last week...

And the biggest minus is, of course, the entrance to the sea. I still have sores on my legs, you can easily get hurt. And if there are waves, then it’s doubly bad - it blows. So be sure to wear shoes. A good coast is further to the pier - there are all 5 stars, a good entry, almost without stones. It’s not worth lying there - they can come up and ask for 5 dollars. But you can swim.
The road to the beach is about 15 minutes. Through shops and houses of local residents. Exotic. Everyone is friendly, at the end they say hello, shout, wave across the street - everyone is already familiar)
I also heard from people from 5 stars that they say it’s boring and everything is somehow wrong. The main thing is your right attitude with which you are traveling, no one but you can spoil your vacation.
We got warm, tanned, rested, which is what we wish you!
Yes, and more. If you're a smoker, don't forget to stock up on cigarettes - they're $3 each and they're all terrible!
Dear future hotel guests! Taking this opportunity, I ask, if my review was useful to you and who will respond from Moscow, I am making a small order (or maybe info will come in handy for you)! I would be grateful if someone could bring a chocolate mask, which is made in the hammam (you can buy it from Dasha for 10 - 8 bucks), this is something amazing! And also at the exit from Kemer you will be brought to the store, where you can still stock up on the latest. There is green soap, olive pressing - it's a miracle without it now it's hard to live! Buy it for yourself - you will not regret it, they are handmade, they cost 1.5 - 2 dollars. There are also masks in the same store for tightening 7 and hand and body cream for 5.5. If there is a sympathetic person, he will bring it, he is ready to throw a couple of bucks on each unit! I will meet you at a place convenient for you. For convenience, write to zoinka495@yandex. ru
Thanks in advance and have an amazing holiday!
