Part 1. Alva Donna World Palace Hotel - https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=fbEj5gwLS4Q
Part 1 (for tablets, smartphones) - rutube. ru/video/feab57067d9ca782267d21e356020f75/
For the third year in a row, our family prefers only Alva Donna Hotels in Turkey.
We are subscribed to all Alva Donna Hotels news, so we learned about the acquisition of the third hotel - Alva Donna World Palace (ex. PGS) in February 2015. This determined our choice for the velvet season 2015.
The hotel is located in the village of Kirish (Kemer), in a unique natural reserve at the foot of the Taurus Mountains and surrounded by pine and cedar forests. The hotel's location alone makes it one of the best hotels in Turkey. The small village of Kirish is practically one street along which hotels of the first and second lines are located. Behind the mountain (there is a 5 km walking path) is the city of Kemer. At 20 min. There is an observation deck on foot. Personally did not check, there was not enough time. If someone went - please write.
Comparing now my feelings from staying at the hotel with the reviews that I read earlier, I can safely say that ...reviews can not be read. Usually I do it very carefully and with the aim of "insurance" ...This hotel has no "pitfalls", "bad" buildings and rooms, there are enough places on the beach, by the pool, in bars and restaurants for everyone, despite the large number of guests. There are no problems with food and drinks at any time of the day. There is no need to worry about anything, rest assured that you will be taken care of. But there are still "preferences" of the guests and to satisfy everyone - the task is obviously impossible, as in any other hotel. Therefore, there are comments on placement.
Very often, claims appear from a simple lack of knowledge of “mat. parts. " To get started, read the "Ultra All Inclusive 2015 Season Concept" (issued upon check-in) and you will no longer be indignant at the lack of a 3-time daily change of towels.
And also study the two keys at the door of the room (red - "do not disturb" and green - "clean the room") and manage the cleaning and rest in your room as you wish. Plus, the phone number of the help desk is "guest relation", which will find its own key for everyone.
And I would remind critics-analysts that the worst thing in analytics is bias. Some are so carried away by the search for flaws that they do not see anything positive in their impulse. And from this their reviews become simply unfair. But these are questions not to the hotel, but to a specific person, to his attitude and perception of life itself and to relaxation in particular.
And most importantly, we must remember that rest is a two-way process.
2015 is only the FIRST season of the hotel under the flag of Alva Donna.
Not everything has been done yet, not all the plans of the hotel management have been implemented yet, but the main thing is that the “special spirit” of Alva Donna has already settled in the hotel.
For the sake of fairness, it should be noted that this season's prices for the hotel were "invitation", with a big discount, as compensation for possible inconveniences and shortcomings, although I did not find these shortcomings.
The hotel plans to make a grandiose reconstruction of the territory during the winter - an amphitheater, the main stage, swimming pools, a new water park will be built, etc. I am sure that the hotel will become a real "diamond" in the Alva Donna hotel chain.
Already envy those who will come to the hotel in the spring of 2016?
And now specifically for the hotel. Rested from 15 to 25 September, a family of three adults.
NUMBERS.
The hotel has six 4-storey blocks, grouped by two (1+2.3+4.5+6), located perpendicular to the coastline with side and direct sea views. All blocks are interconnected and the reception at the level of the 3rd floor (reception level) by covered passages. The block numbers go from left to right when facing the sea. All rooms with large balconies.
On the last floors there are family (2-storey) and double-sided rooms.
Very nice (fruits, sweets, a bottle of wine) we were settled in room 5421 (block 5.4th floor). Join the Hotel Club, subscribe to hotel promotions and news, receive privileges and bonuses from the hotel and change your status in hotel groups. The window of the first floor of the room overlooks the pool, the main restaurant, etc. Very convenient and fun - always up to date with all the events taking place in the hotel - the beginning of all entertainment programs, animation, the opening of the main restaurants, etc. The window of the second tier overlooks patio between blocks. Lovely room, furniture, plumbing in excellent condition, 2 bathrooms, 2 TV.
TERRITORY OF THE HOTEL.
The main entrance to the hotel: to the right - Piano Lobby bar, to the left - reception and Lobby Tea House, straight ahead - access to the "Potemkin" staircase, from which you view the main space of the hotel, located between blocks 4 and 5 and which includes: 3 main restaurants - (Meander, Tigris, Terace), 6 different pools (adults, children), including an artificial wave pool, water slides, children's playground, bars, amphitheater, main stage, shops. Further along the beach, pier and SEA.
The windows of block No. 1 overlook the neighboring Akka Alinda Hotel, and the windows of block No. 6 overlook Le Jardin Hotel.
The windows of blocks 2 and 3 overlook the "relax" zone (the sign is set - "do not make noise") and the +15 zone, a small relaxation pool and a chess "board" and the A la Carte restaurant Vivaldi Restorano Italiano (violinist + pleasant it. music). Food tourists here - a good menu and wine list. I recommend pink Casal Mendes Rose.
NUTRITION.
Meal in the "non-stop" mode, 24 hours.
This means that whenever you arrive at the hotel and whenever you leave the hotel, you can always have a snack or meal (more than the breakfast program) in the main restaurant. Checked personally - and at 2 o'clock in the morning and at 5 in the morning. It is very pleasant to be in restaurants, beautiful tables, clean dishes, polite and nimble waiters. Just some kind of small performance is played out when you watch how, under the guidance of the General Manager of the hotel, a new table is immediately served for the next visitor who has stopped for a minute in search of a free place.
The variety of food is amazing. First courses - borscht, soups, okroshka. Meat (the entire list of poultry and animals), fish daily. In the morning - porridge. Fruits - sweet, tasty, beautiful (for breakfast, lunch and dinner). Ice cream - all day (and in packages too). Freshly squeezed juice (you can also make your own).
Oh yes, seafood… Not every day, but definitely several times a week. And for those who eat only seafood, there is an opportunity to order (cheap! shrimp = $20 per 1 kilogram, crabs for $40, etc. ). For them, it should be inexpensive if they eat them at home every day. But there are also a la carte restaurants.
I understand that if a person came to this hotel and states his remarks on nutrition "in a convincing form", then this person, by definition, should not have been here at all. And I also advise you to relax at least once in hotels in Greece in order to “feel the difference” from the already familiar Turkish All Inclusive, to appreciate the stinginess of Greek hoteliers and the “width of the soul” of the hotel’s chief chef, Alva Donna.
SEA. BEACH.
The beach area is huge. A tan for every taste. Under an awning or in individual tents, on green grass under the shade of pine trees, by the sea or by the pool. There are enough places everywhere.
A very comfortable place to stay - in tents, for companies and especially for families with small children. Personal service for the whole day. Safe, refrigerator.
On the border of the hotel near the coastline, a guard keeps watch all day, who does not allow tourists from neighboring hotels to pass along the coast. Neighbors are easy to figure out - they do not have bracelets. Therefore, take care of your bracelet - for the loss of $ 10 fine (when you leave the bracelet must be handed over to the reception).
Every morning (=10 o'clock) your gaze is presented with a majestic picture of the "peaceful" navigation of a huge flotilla of 2-3-masted "pirate" schooners from Kemer past the hotel and to the music of the "Tender May" group on board?
ANIMATION.
The hotel has a large animation program scheduled from 10 am to 11 pm. We really enjoyed the evening shows with a funny and witty host. Well, the participants of the competitions - great respect (especially the "star" and the winner of the competition - "Samara").
Garik Krichevsky at his concert on September 16 literally “teared” the hotel audience with his hits. Still spinning in my head - "...in Alva Donna" Krichevsky sings on the balcony ..."(see video - part 2 - soon! ).
TOURS. Pilgrimage to Israel (see video - part 3 - coming soon! ).
One day tour with air flight. Bought at the hotel from TEZ TOUR. The price drops well in September. Excursion paid on the first day of rest at the hotel. Places are limited. Flight, lunch, dinner included. Drinks are paid.
The receiving party is Flying Carpet. The guide is Nona, a former inhabitant of Odessa, a unique person, a professional in her field. Thank you very much for your work. Twelve hours of interesting stories and answers to all our questions.
Route: airport Ben Gurion (Tel Aviv) - Bethlehem (Church of the Nativity) - Jerusalem (Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Wailing Wall, Church of St. Catherine) - swimming in the Jordan River - Dead Sea.
The entire tour from departure to return to the hotel was 24 hours. Departure from Antalya at 6 am. Flight time - 1 hour 15 minutes. A / c CORENDON, Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
Direct bus tour - 8.00 - 20.30. Buses are comfortable with Wi-Fi.
We were very lucky that the Israeli border near the Jordan River was recently opened (until 16.30 and not every day - be sure to ask when buying an excursion). Therefore, the program included swimming in the Jordan River. Some tourists who had already visited Israel before took the tour for the second time just for the sake of it.
The tour was a breeze, everything was so exciting and meaningful. I don’t write about emotions - everyone knows why he flies to Israel.
We only felt tired when we got on the plane.
FINDINGS.
As Vladimir from Bryansk wrote very beautifully in his review, the Alva Donna World Palace hotel is a place for the soul. From myself I will add - for the body too.
I recommend the hotel to everyone and for everyone - young, respectable, families with children, housewives, experienced and not quite tourists.
Congratulations to the management of the hotel on a wonderful acquisition. Many thanks from our whole family for an unforgettable vacation! We wish the hotel success and prosperity!
