Отличное соотношение цена-качество Excellent value for money

The decision this year to rest in Turkey came spontaneously (they were still waiting for the EU to open the borders), they were determined for three days, they took a tour the day before departure, so they didn’t bother with the choice. On package tours, my husband and I rested three times before, including last year in September in Kemer at the Amara Club Marine Nature 5 * hotel. This year we decided to take a more budget tour, because we wanted to diversify our beach holiday with sightseeing tours and not stay at the hotel for 8 days. Glancing briefly at the ratings and reviews of hotels, we settled on Armas Beach. We were in the mood that it would be worse than last year, but you know what happens when reality brings a pleasant surprise and your worst expectations are not justified at all? This is our case with Armas Beach!
So, in order. We were at the hotel at 10 am. They say that the theater begins with a hanger, and for me any hotel begins with a reception. And here is the first pleasant impression: clean, cozy, comfortable, without pathos. Before settling in, we go for breakfast: three halls for eating: everything is stylishly decorated, compact, clean, they were ready for the new service system, so everything is without comment. Immediately after breakfast, we were given a key card (two at our request) and we were already in the room around 10 am. We had room 101 in the main building opposite the reception (near the exit from the hotel, you also go down the stairs or the elevator to the dining room or the exit to the beach) the standard size is 25 sq. m. with a balcony. The first impression of the room (it did not change later) was clean, everything was new: furniture, laminate flooring, curtains, bed linen. Safe is free. Wifi is free with excellent speed throughout the hotel, including the beach.
Then they read that the renovation of the hotel (everything: canteens, rooms... ) was completed in the middle of this summer.

After settling on the beach, essno. Unusually small territory of the hotel, so everything is nearby: dining room, swimming pool, and, most importantly, the beach - 50 meters! And unexpectedly for ourselves, it turned out that we are not lovers of large territories, where we stomp about 300 meters from the room to the beach along the picturesque paths, as last year at Amara Club Marine, where there are four or five huge halls for eating and you rush about between distribution food and a busy table, winding hundreds of meters, not fans of walking around the hotel, preferring to explore the country outside its walls). Here everything is more than compact, everything is clean, but greenery and flower beds are somewhat lacking for comfort. The beach is small, but since the hotel located next door was closed this year, in fact the beach doubled in size and there was enough space for everyone. Of course, there was no talk of any social distance either on the beach or in the dining room, but this is the choice of vacationers, and even if the trestle beds on the beach were placed one and a half meters from one another, then people would move them themselves: they rest with families, companies. The sea is gorgeous: clean, warm (about 30), two or three meters and already deep, so I don’t know how with small children, but for us this is a plus.
Pools one with two slides for adults, a small one with one slide for children. There is some kind of animation, but judging by the water aerobics, it is rather weak. People played darts, ping-pong, such as water floor.
Nutrition. From 7 am to 11.30 pm you will definitely not go hungry (in the snack bar there are incomparable Turkish cakes, burgers, fries. . . ). A lot of fruit - still the season is in full swing, delicious ayran in the refrigerators on site, but only chicken or turkey meat, although well and varied cooked. The fish is different, but none came in: bony and tasteless. Baking is standard, here like everywhere else, although there is less variety. Sauces are not 40, but 4, well, in general, the range of dishes is five times more modest than last year at Amara Club Marine. I am writing this for gourmets, because if we ourselves use 5-6 strength out of 40 sauces, then we cannot classify ourselves in this category : -). In general, although without seafood (fish does not count), the food (considering the price for the tour) suited us quite well. But a la carte is, perhaps, the only fat minus, since it seems to be there, but in fact it is not.
They will lay a table for you in the snack bar, put the dishes that are in the dining room, and the choice of dishes will be made for you), wine from the bar nearby, service (a Turk with a big belly, he also works in the dining room) is below the plinth. So, in order not to spoil the impression of the hotel, I do not recommend the a la carte restaurant in it. A lot of letters, because the result: a hotel for its price category, 4 stars are solid, clean, compact, the sea is magnificent, satisfying, but without frills. Who likes pretentious hotels with large territories, this is not the place. We also liked the hotel, although we are unlikely to go a second time, but only because, in principle, we do not go to the same hotel twice.

Yes, a few words about the location of the hotel: there is a city outside the hotel! 20 minutes on foot and you are in the center of this city with its numerous shops, luminous shop windows, fountains, nightclubs, discos - this is a big plus!! !
