отдых с малышом holiday with baby

In Turkey for the second time, the first time was in Belek, the MegaSaray hotel. This time we rested with my husband and a child of 1 year and 2 months. in the period from 6 to 20 September 2010. The hotel is quite pleasant, we recommend for families with small children. Minor flaws in general did not spoil the mood.
In detail (especially for moms):
1. Number. The standard one is quite roomy, in addition to the double bed there is a folding chair (we always had it unfolded, it stood next to the bed and did not interfere), for babies they also give a folding playpen, can be used for sleeping and for games. There is a kettle in the room, so you can always feed the child. The air conditioning is adjustable in the room, which is also very convenient. We do not recommend the first floor, we changed to the second and did not regret it, although we had to carry the stroller up the stairs. Firstly, the floor is completely covered with carpet (on the first floor there are tiles and on top there are pieces of the same carpet that the child stumbled about), on the balcony the floor is wooden (on the first floor there are also tiles), and the kid really liked to sit on the balcony on the floor. We advise you to take a room in the center of the hotel - this is the quietest and most convenient place. When you check in, ask the reception for a map of the hotel and see where the room that you are offered is located. We reviewed 4 options in two days, until we settled on the one that suits us (although we had to thank the administrator - $ 50).

2. Nutrition. We were quite satisfied. For a child - for breakfast there were always 2 types of cereals, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, butter, cheese. For lunch and dinner, mashed potatoes, boiled rice, pasta, mashed vegetables, meat (chicken and beef), fresh vegetables. Milk and fruits were constantly, packaged juices, freshly squeezed orange and sometimes tomato in the morning. The children really liked the pastries (various buns at the entrance from the side of the pool), and the mothers enjoyed the exquisite table of oriental sweets. As such, there is no separate children's table, but there is a diet table, where just all these vegetable and meat purees without additives and salt. For 2 weeks, of course, the monotony was felt, but it is quite tolerable. From what they took with them in jars-boxes, they ate only fruit puree and cookies, some cereals. Some parents complained that the child did not eat anything... of course, the children are all different, ours ate perfectly both in the restaurant and in the room and also sucked boobs regularly. The hotel has a lot of vacationers with small children, if necessary, you can always take the same fruits or buns from the restaurant with you, and in general, we poured juice or milk into a bottle and also took it with us.
3. Territory. Small, but very comfortable and quite sufficient for walking. There is shade almost everywhere, as there is a lot of greenery, flowers, creepers look great, everything is very well-groomed, here is a five with a plus. There is a sewage treatment plant across the road from the hotel next door, so there are occasional smells, but this is rare and mostly in the immediate vicinity of the road.
4. Beach. It is also small, but no one pushes with priests, there are two piers. Bulk sand mixed with small pebbles, two or three steps into the sea and huge stones begin. The problem is solved either with special slippers (sold at the hotel and next to it), or by calling from the pier. For example, we swam without slippers, but there were few of them and people sometimes came out of the water with cut feet. The water is clean and, of course, very warm in September. We poured sea water into a small inflatable pool for our baby, he flopped there with pleasure. Such pools and other beach paraphernalia can also be bought on the spot. I did not like the canopy, it is not completely solid, located in the shade, after a while you find yourself in some part of the body in the sun, you have to move around or change the sunbed. There are always free sunbeds, towels are changed from 10 to 18, at least a hundred times.
5. Pool, slides. To be honest, we are not fans of chlorinated water if there is a sea nearby, so we went to the pool a couple of times for reconnaissance. The smallest depth is 40 cm. Slides are more suitable for children from 3 to 8 years old.

6. Entertainment. The hotel has a playground with swings, a slide, tables and chairs, a train that rides the kids at certain hours, the rest of the time dads push it, but the children are just as delighted. Nearby is a playground with machine guns, toy cars, air hockey, the kids also have fun running around there. The time that was not taken up by eating, sleeping and bathing was usually spent there, the child really liked it.
7. And more. We did not take our stroller, having read that the hotel has them. But what is there (for free) cannot be called a stroller at all. But for $ 5 a day you can take a normal comfortable stroller, which we did. In the evenings, we went for a walk outside the hotel, the son slept comfortably and you could safely shop or watch an evening show at the hotel or sit at the bar. In general, without a stroller with a small one in any way.
8. Special thanks to the hotel staff, everyone is very welcoming, they do their job perfectly!! ! We wish you all a positive mood and a pleasant stay in this hotel!
