Rested at the hotel Le Chateau De Prestige at the beginning of July 2007. On the whole, I am satisfied with the rest. Although there are pros and cons. This is not the first time in Turkey, so there is something to compare with. The hotel is located in the village of Goynik (that's what the Turks themselves call it), not reaching Kemer, 7-9 kilometers. Antalya airport is about an hour away.
The territory of the hotel is large (this is a definite plus), it is divided into two parts - the hotel (near the hotel) and the beach (near the beach), which are connected by a bridge. On the beach part there is the beach itself, swimming pools, slides, bars and a building, the purpose of which cannot yet be determined, since it does not function. On the hotel territory there is the hotel itself, swimming pools, slides, a bar, a "nomad's tent", an amphitheater. Walking on the bridge separating the beach from the main territory, I personally did not cause any difficulties. On the contrary, after a meal, small physical activity is very good.
Due to the fact that the hotel opened only this spring, the greenery has not yet grown. So it’s practically impossible to walk around the hotel during the day, because there is nowhere to hide in the shade. Yes, there are very few flowers. A lot of greenery on the beach, but you can't walk there. So if you do not want to sunbathe all day, then either sit in the hotel building, or under an umbrella by the pool. Which, in general, is not very good.
The hotel itself looks very nice both externally and internally. The rooms are standard as elsewhere (although the advertised plasma TVs in the standard rooms were not in all, they cost the usual), safe and minibar - free of charge, drinks are replenished daily (Pepsi, beer, juice, drinking water, mineral water - 2 pcs. ) .
Room cleaning daily, but not at the luxury level, so simple (that is, I never saw beautifully and artistically laid out sheets and towels (which was even worse in hotels), not to mention rose petals on the bed, like, for example, at the Marty Mira Hotel).
The view of the sea is conditional, since it is still far from the sea. Plus, the sea view combines the view of the pools and the evening animation. So for those who want silence, it is better to take a view of the mountains (which is also rather conditional). Some rooms on the first floor have access directly to the pool (I don't know if this is convenient or not). They finish building and finishing what is not completed, if possible so as not to interfere with vacationers. At least I did not notice any damage to my rest. Only an aesthetic minus, of course ...
A lot of different bars, several restaurants. The food is varied (there is also a diet), in large quantities and almost around the clock.
A lot of fruits, and different ones, a lot of meat, also different. There were crayfish, shrimp, red fish, there is nothing to even talk about vegetables and salads - there are a lot of all sorts. Freshly squeezed orange juice in the morning was first put on carts and tried to deliver, but then they just hid it behind the bar, so you had to ask (but this is more a plus than a minus). For some reason, not all guides talk about a la carte restaurants, but in vain. One visit to each restaurant (so far only Italian, French, Turkish and fish are open) is free. Recommend. I also really liked the "Nomad's Tent" (everyone called it "teahouse"). They cook real Turkish tea, gozleme (special Turkish pancakes stuffed with cheese, meat or potatoes), airan. All this is also in the bar on the beach, but the color is not the same, and the tea is different. The main restaurant consists of two parts - open and closed.
I was struck by the disposable paper tablecloths on the tables, which were not entirely appropriate for a luxury hotel, and were also used repeatedly. A chic hotel, golden columns - and paper tablecloths ...It's not entirely clear. At the same time, the waiters periodically try to serve, but somehow selectively.
By the way, one of the disadvantages of organizing a holiday in a hotel is the lack of a hotel plan with the names of all the places. At the entrance, leaflets were handed out, where it is written: what, where and when, but where exactly it is can be found only by experience. For example, Turkish coffee is served only in the lobby bar - so I had to go around four bars until it became clear which of them was the "lobby".
Water activities, swimming pools - everything is excellent both on the beach and on the hotel territory. The pools near the hotel, fountains, waterfalls and bridges connecting the shores look very beautiful.
A large number of slides (five pieces, in my opinion, in both territories) - expanse not only for children, but also for adults. The beach itself is small, I think, for such a hotel. True, during my vacation there was enough space for everyone, even there were free ones. But when the hotel is fully operational… I was glad that the water part of the beach makes it possible to swim to the depth, and not just plow the sea along the coast. The water is very clean. But the sand on the beach, thanks to vacationers, already leaves much to be desired. Despite the large number of garbage pots, tourists throw cigarette butts, cores, bones, etc. right where they lie. In this regard - dirty sand and flies. Yes, it seems that they haven’t learned how to fight flies there yet: there are plenty of them not only on the beach, but also in restaurants, bars, and a nomad’s tent. There are also indoor pools (one is not working yet), jacuzzi, sauna, Russian and Turkish baths.
From the entertainment program, I would like to highlight live music in the evening (after the animated performance), on Fridays the so-called "Turkish night". The animation itself is average: the daytime was limited to beach volleyball, beach curling (at least this is how the game with balls was introduced to me) and water aerobics with children in the pool; in the evening there was a children's disco and performances in the amphitheater in the style of the Comedy Club. There were also visiting artists with performances - these are already of a higher rank, and the program is more interesting.
I was pleased that many of the staff speak Russian (or at least try), but the main language is English, a little less German. In the lobby at the entrance there is always a Russian-speaking girl who reserves places in restaurants, you can contact her for any question, she will always try to help. This is definitely a huge plus. There are also hotel guides of various tour operators.
Most often met Tez Tour, Anex Tour, Pegas.
Finally, a few words about the Anex Tour hotel guide. The fact that he sits there almost all day does not mean a good job. If you are going on an early trip with departure before breakfast, take care of the lunch package yourself the night before (of course, it will be provided for free), the guide is silent about this. And I was also unpleasantly struck by the difference in prices from one tour operator on the same trip, but from different hotels. As a result, it turns out, for example, that out of ten people whom Anex Tour simultaneously sends in one car for procedures in Hammam, half paid $20 each (those from hotels of a lower rank), the other half paid $35 each (including our hotel) . I saw it personally. And most importantly - carefully study on the eve of departure, when the car will arrive for you, because the flight may be postponed (for example, they moved me from 20.30 pm to 9.50 am; for some, at 5 am, when the car arrived, it was a big surprise)
Despite all the minor drawbacks, the overall impression of the trip is good. The hotel was satisfied. Next year, when everything is completed, the trees will grow, the price will also grow.
