We arrived at the end of April for the opening of the season. There were few people, by the beginning of the May holidays they pulled themselves up. The hotel has four tour operators, Tez-tour, Pegasus, Anex-tour and Intourist. Tourists from Russia, Ukraine and the Baltic States. Mostly young people. Staff - Turks, there are Russian-speaking. If your arrival or departure is at night, there may be problems with resettlement. Some tourists arrived at night, there were rooms, but they could not move in - they were not cleaned, and the cleaners would come only in the morning. We sat all night on sofas in the foyer, although we asked for any room, although not cleaned. In general, it is clear that they are trying to be 4 *, but they are trying at minimal cost. Everything is clean, tidy and on time. The rooms are cleaned, there is a refrigerator and TV, they change "consumables" and towels. There is a laundry. Walk three minutes to the beach, Bar on the beach for money, toilets for free. Sunbeds, umbrellas, showers. The beach itself is made of large pebbles - it is inconvenient to enter.
Do not leave anything on the beach - it will be "lost", for this a fine. Food is on schedule, a lot of time is given, but it's better to come early - the dishes are not updated. The menu is mostly vegetable, meat, beef, chicken and not much. Sausages, sausage, meatballs. It is understandable - in a supermarket nearby, the price of meat starts from 55 lira. per kilogram. There is a bad trend - fresh vegetables in the morning, not eaten at lunch - fried, and for dinner - a "hot-cold salad" is already made from them. A couple of times they even called the restaurant-chef - the dish stank spoiled! They cleaned it up quickly, but it didn't teach them anything. Therefore, "hot-cold salads" DO NOT TAKE! The rest is all right. The food is delicious, but very greasy, oils are poured from the heart. There is sweet, but mostly it is impregnated dough and tasteless cream. There are fruits, each time different. Drinks - coffee machine, tea, Yupi. The Bar has free local drinks from 10 to 22.30. The choice is very poor - Efes beer, Cola Sprite, Gin,
Vodka and Raki (cheapest), as well as wine from paper bags - red and white. Tastes like a nasty stew. Alcohol is spared - a large glass is one-tenth of alcohol. It is necessary to say every time that there is one piece of ice, and MORE alcohol. Naturally, there is a swimming pool and a children's pool, games - darts, ping-pong, a "playground" sandwiched between the wall of the hotel and the fence. In the basement - sauna up to 80 gr. (sometimes a terrible amount of menthol is added to it - it hurts the eyes! ), hammam (for money, plus massage - $ 30 / person), gym, cold pool, jacuzzi (it didn’t work with us and was with cold water). After dinner, show time begins. DJ Mustafa, a young Turkish boy cheerfully invites everyone and arranges a performance. Sometimes there are "magicians" and so on. on weekends - hotel employees participate. Like a day of culture (= VERY convenient that the show ends exactly at the end of the free bar and all the roamers are taken to the disco (10 $ entry).

For participation in competitions - free tickets. In general, it is very convenient - either to sausage on a disk or sleep peacefully - in the hotel by 11 it becomes quiet and dark. It is wonderful! There is a safe in the room - a dollar / day. When leaving the room, the sockets are turned off - the mobile phone can only be charged at night. It is very important not to lose anything - not beach towels or anything else - very large fines! In general, we liked it and would go again if the price is like some 3 * hotels.
Excursions at the hotel and tour operators are 2-3 times more expensive than city tour companies . . We took jeeping, $ 20 per person, you can steer yourself, lunch and insurance are included. Then they will offer a "movie" about the trip, 25 bucks. Many excursions can be visited in general by yourself simply by arriving by shuttle bus. We went to Phaselis $2 bus, 8 lire entrance. And we also went to the mountains on a hiking route - free and great! (= There is a city beach at the other end of Kemer - walk about 10 minutes,
great lagoon, with a SANDY beach! Free sunbeds and umbrellas, there are toilets and showers! There are plenty of cafes and rentals around. Internet in the city is a dollar an hour, you can rewrite pictures, get into classmates and chat on Skype. Shops are expensive! Leather costs crazy money. But everyone is deliberately hospitable, they sing tea for free, chatting, asking questions, joking. (=
