Спокойный ленивый отдых, отлично с детьми Quiet lazy holiday, great with kids

We just got back yesterday and were very pleased. From the pros: beautiful nature, well-groomed territory, clean hotel, clear sea and pools. Some food is available at any time of the day, except from 1 am to 7 am (well, you can somehow hold on. . . ; ) Excellent spa, very pleasant Turkish corner (sitting on pillows and carpets you can drink tea/coffee/ ayran, eat lavash/pancakes, smoke hookah, it’s cool even in the sun, the hospitable host Fedya speaks excellent Russian and finds a minute for everyone). Animation - every other day games with guests and performances of dance groups. I liked that they pay a lot of attention to children. I liked the gymnastics and aerobics classes with Olga. Be sure to book an evening at the restaurant - both the fish and meat menus are delicious. Cons: a lot of food, but such that "you lick your fingers" was rare, the menu is rather monotonous, except for the Turkish evening once a week; drinks were not impressive, except for tea; it is noticeable that the hotel is not new, there are some shabby things (towels, furniture in the rooms), the rooms are small (although why sit in the room? ) and not luxurious enough for 5 * in the usual sense. There are people from different countries (Holland, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Germany, Belgium, England), everyone behaved decently, squealed in the pools with delight, of course, but within reason : ) Operator Turtess, worked fine in terms of bringing - take. Excursions offered the standard package from rafting, diving and quad biking to ancient churches, natural wonders, fishing and shopping tours. We didn’t go anywhere, we were lazy : ) It was the first time in Turkey, as I understand it, they all add another one or two to the stars - Alinda doesn’t pull 5 *, but 4 * is solid. Next door was 7 *, I thought that this category is only in Dubai, but, it turns out, also in Turkey : ) In general - a lazy vacation, as it should be, without worries, without straining. I advise families with children and those who want to sleep off on the beach, party youth will be bored.
