We rested well. The hotel is without too much pathos, except for periodically flickering logos with five (! ) Stars. I will describe the rest in more detail below.
Departing party: ALS travel agency (St. Petersburg). Meeting party: Trek Travel International. There were three of us, my girlfriend and I and my 16 year old brother.
Having escaped from the hot summer of St. Petersburg into the still hot summer of Turkey, we were amazed at the desertedness of the airport in Antalya. We quickly found a tour operator desk and, jumping into a cool Volkswagen, rushed along the avenues of Antalya ...The road to Kemer took no more than 40 minutes, and at 21:00 we were already at the reception. A kind employee advised us not to bathe with the settlement, but rather go to dinner. Leaving things in the cool lobby, under the supervision of a tall and stern guard, we followed his advice. Having refreshed ourselves and returning to the reception, we set about checking into the hotel.

While we were having dinner, all the documents were ready, it only remained to sign and receive the key ...
Number.
The room was in building B on the second floor, adjoining the wall of the bathroom to the disco stage on the roof of the hall and the reception. The music pounded until one in the morning, but I managed to fall asleep earlier. Everything worked: plumbing, air conditioning, light. The room is good, moderately wide: they played badminton right in the room. Wardrobe with hangers and safe, TV and minibar. The shower is wide and quite comfortable for two). There is a hair dryer. Cleaning daily, quick. But as they say: it is clean neither where they clean it, but where they do not litter. We were pleased with her.
From the negative: the beds are on the largest "pedestal", so the first two days we stumbled. The air conditioning is powerful, it was very cold, so sleeping under it was very uncomfortable. By closing the damper, it was not possible to regulate the flow. I had to turn it on and off at night.
The light is only point, weak, at night it is impossible to do some small work (sew up clothes)
The girl slept on a folding sofa. It was harsh, and on the last day it broke, I had to prop it up with a spoon taken from the restaurant))
I was not happy about the lack of at least some drying accessories, I had to hang towels and swimming trunks on the railing of the balcony, but this spoils the appearance of the hotel so much ...
The hotel as a whole.
The pool is comfortable, the water is chlorinated, but the smell is not strong. You can swim only from 8 to 18. Cleaning of the hotel area is daily, they clean it very carefully.
Nutrition.
You can eat all day 7:30 - 21:00, there are small breaks of half an hour, but we did not get on them. The food is varied. For breakfast, dry cottage cheese and sour cream sauces of several flavors, eggs, potatoes and various meat cutlets, sometimes with vegetables, breakfast cereals and milk, toast and various jams. Dinner and supper.

Soup-puree, poultry (chicken and *** forgot ((), in pieces or in vegetables, potatoes, rice, sometimes meat (mutton) sometimes cutlets, combinations are always different cooked in different ways, not boring; salads and greens separately, different oils, sauces. Different oriental sweets each time I tried something new. Fruits are mostly plums, pears, apples, there were oranges and grapefruits, watermelons and melons were given several times. All fruits are local, a little sour and sometimes tasteless, especially melon. But if you have a snack with sugary sweets - that's it.
Beach. Medium and small pebbles, you can walk barefoot, but very hot. The sea is too salty, so we only swam with glasses. The sea is clean, sometimes algae floated after the night winds, but they did not interfere much. We saw turtles, they swam up to the buoys. There are cabanas and showers on the beach.
The beach is a private area, furnished with sun loungers with mattresses, there is no place free from sun loungers, there is nowhere to play badminton, volleyball. There was a sandy area a little further along the beach, but it was from another hotel, they drove from there ...We also swam in the evenings (after 21:00) at this time it is very dark and there are a lot of locals, it’s better for girls without guys - the Turks are annoying ...
Animation.
I don’t know what to be proud of here, but the animation was C grade. The animators went out of their way, but it is very difficult to make a sober audience over 30 in evening dresses dance the “dance of little ducklings”. In addition, it was very difficult to understand the presenter, who is slurred in three languages ​ ​ at once: Russian, English and Turkish. Therefore, I decided to "break away" in the room. By the way, you can't smoke there. Daytime entertainment is water polo and aerobics (simple and water), a few competitions by the pool, where the losers are thrown into the water.
But the plus for the animators is that they didn’t really get enough, and if you want to have fun lying by the pool, no one will interfere.
General conclusion about the rest.
In Prince, it was healthy.
From the negative - night parties under hackneyed hits 5 years ago and the absence of cereals for breakfast. We were perfectly measured with this, this holiday did not spoil us.

Well, rest for 4. If you are young and you plan to have a passive rest with alcohol, then this is a piece of paradise (without a drop of irony), but it’s boring and noisy when sober.

We will not go to Turkey in the next couple of years. We will choose an intellectual holiday in Europe.

Z. Y. The big disappointment was the huge desire to take money from tourists on a small service. On excursions where lunch is included, drinks are not included, and paying $ 2 for a cup of tea in the heat, where half a liter of beer is not enough to quench your thirst, is somehow a pity ...so you should take water with you. From the money it is worth having both dollars and euros and lira.
Small purchases (ice cream, water) should be done in lira, and large ones ...in general, with traders on the do in targashesky, they often play on the course, the price is indicated in euros, and when you say that you have dollars, the transfer will not be in your favor ...Turkish bath (Hamam) I advise, foam massage is divine, but do not lose vigilance there, too, they take well for extra. services that are very difficult to get rid of.
