We rested in Salima for two weeks, and did not regret it at all. But everything is in order.
We arrived at 11am and the room was not ready. We went to the coffee house to wait. Turkish coffee and 'coffee' from vending machines for free, the rest for money. Inside the cafe and near the reception free Wi-Fi, even fast during the day)
Contrary to statistics, expectations and experience of past trips, the room was ready not by 14, but by 12:30. But better in order.
***Food***
I read in many reviews that the food is disgusting, there is no meat, and so on and so forth. Of course, the food does not shine with a special variety, but we never left the restaurant hungry. And there is actually meat. Let it be a little, but there is. Every day, either meatballs, or kebabs, or lamb, or something else on the grill. There is always chicken in all sorts of sauces, three or four types of pasta, rice, cucumber-tomatoes, and so on. Of the thematic days, only Turkish and Italian cuisine.
I do not recommend salads, because Turkish mayonnaise ...Sweets for an amateur, VERY sweet, especially for the day of Turkish cuisine. Although the cheesecake is great!
Breakfast pleases with delicious donuts, scrambled eggs (you either have to stand and wait, or come early) and of course, FRESH SQUID orange juice (by the way, there is almost never a queue for it).
By the way, it is very convenient to take lunch “to go”, plates are provided for this.
*** Territory ***
Big enough, beautiful, a lot of trees, mostly coniferous, cacti, creepers, a bamboo grove, a pond with a waterfall and ducks...And what an air, beauty...
There are three pools: a regular one, for all kinds of activities, and a children's pool, with two mediocre slides. There is a lot of tension with sun loungers, especially near the pool with a jacuzzi, where there are no sun loungers, but soft mattresses (for those who like to fill up during the day). At seven o'clock in the morning you can still do something, at eight everything is already taken.
Although I personally liked to take a sunbed under the canopy of trees, in partial shade, from where a completely unreal view opened up.
Views are a whole other story. Beauty was breathtaking. Whether you are swimming in the pool, lounging on a sun lounger or relaxing in the bar, the view of the mountains was magnificent from everywhere…
And what a sea ...Clean as a tear (especially compared to Side), warm, just a delight! I could “hang” on the buoys for an hour, enjoying the view of the mountains, and the entire Antalya coast, stretching to the right. Although of course, the entrance to the water is not very convenient, because the pebbles. But there are two pontoons and two piers. And a little biting fish))) The bar near the sea is paid. But to the free, God forbid, 50 meters.
We were not in a paid restaurant, but we smoked a hookah. You sit on the pier, on a leather sofa, the sea splashes nearby ...Beauty ...
Not far from the hotel there are markets where you can buy everything you need))) By the way, don’t go to the left, everything is initially 10 dollars more expensive there. And to the right there is an excellent large indoor market with a playground, visible from almost all points of the market.
***Shopping and excursions***
Right at the hotel gate, you can take the 28th drive to Antalya, for example, to the Migros store. Monobrand boutiques, but prices are lower than in Russia. You can still go to Ozdilek, but it is further away and bigger.
Perhaps the travel agency will offer you "free delivery" for shopping, such as fur-gold-souvenirs-textiles. We drove from Tez Tour and my advice is DON'T AGREE! Don't even waste your time, you'll regret it. Textile is a goofy Chinese stock with cut labels, in short, all this is designed to take money from tourists. In short - if there are no local residents in the store - it’s not good to do it there.
The spa in the hotel is weak and unreasonably expensive.
For the money that the hotel will do a shitty 20-minute peeling, Babel Palace has two Sid saunas, a Turkish bath with foam massage and peeling, a face mask and some kind of massage to choose from (I took an aroma massage, I really liked it). There is a whole range of procedures, you can choose anything. And there is a place to leave the child. And go far.
By the way, everything that the guides say about time and distance should be almost doubled. Turkish guides "50 meters" are equal to 400 Russian. For rafting, as the guide told us, it takes an hour and a half to go, we get on the bus - two and a half ...
***Rooms***
The rooms are modest. The four of us (family and two children, 19 and 4.5 years old) lived in a family suite, that is, two rooms. Not that cramped, but not too spacious either. Normal, in short. The audibility in the rooms is incredible, the walls are like cardboard, the balconies are tiny, in many rooms they coincide with the entrance to the room.
Our bath was poorly ventilated, the bedside tables were ridiculous, the cabinets behind curtains, without doors, the air conditioner was good (individual, turn it on when you want. And then centralized air conditioning is tin ... ), the hair dryer is also nothing. On the first day the shower was broken. We called the reception - the master came in 3 minutes, quickly fixed everything. Cleaning is done from 12 to about 16, occasionally mistaken in the number of towels. Shower gel and other things are not particularly pampered.
***For kids***
...there are all the conditions! The mini club seems to be open from 9:30 to 12:00 and from 15:00 to 18:00. Children run there, losing slippers! And the animator girls working there are wonderful, the children adored them))) They built castles in the sand with them, and painted faces, and almost baked something there, and held all sorts of tournaments with awards, and entertained at the mini-disco .
There are also completely Malyshovskiy slides, and for older ones. A children's pool is also present.
In the dining room there is a special children's corner and there are low tables, and a TV, and food for children, and even a microwave. At 20:00, the animators take the children away from there to a mini-disco, and parents can eat quietly for half an hour.
***ANIMATION! ! ! ***
There are no words here, only emotions. The animation is just GREAT! ! ! All animators are very friendly, active and positive! All day you can only run through all sorts of activities! For example, on the dance floor at 10:15 morning gymnastics began, and then, depending on the day of the week, tai-bo, stretching, and step, in short, which was not there, and so on until 18:00. And gymnastics in the sea, and in the pool, and what master classes in sports dancing! ! ! Salsa, cha-cha, samba, tango, waltz, oriental dances...Simply super! ! !
Also during the day, all sorts of insanely fun pool-games, massive pool-dance, various games and competitions, volleyball, darts, boccia and even blackjack))) And of course, my favorite is shooting))) From a bow and rifle, twice a day, morning and evening.
Special thanks to the best rifle leader Hakan))) By the way, national fun - understand where the rifle mows))) Sometimes you had to aim past the target to hit the center%))) And one more special thanks to the almost permanent archery leader Seryozha. Finally, they taught me how to shoot relatively well)))
Every day a tournament is held in some kind of sports, according to the result of which the “champignons” are awarded in the evening before the show time. Between mini-disco and show time is also all sorts of different "movement". Oriental dance competition on Thursdays (Turkish day), on other days, then all sorts of different competitions, then a “fair”, then dance evenings, when they included waltz, salsa, and bochatta, and everyone danced to the best of their ability))) It was very cool, considering that usually animators invited vacationers, and the bulk of the animators are more than worthy of dancing.
And what kind of evening shows are there ...In the evening, I didn’t even want to leave the hotel so as not to miss such magnificence (except for Thursday and Sunday - there are either guests or garbage arriving) ...Of course, comedy Cabarets are a little weaker than dance shows, but still ...What luxurious costumes, what productions, scenery! ! ! The Michael Jackson memory show Remember the time was watched with bated breath ...And what a Crazy Circus, and a memory show of Freddie Mercury ...It's a pity they didn't see Tropicana, and Dream Or Love too. But what we saw is just incredible. In other hotels, these evening shows were so, at the level of mediocre amateur performances, but here ...Superb, in short. By the way, the program is cyclical, two-week.
Discos are quite okay, average, except that the foamy disco is paid ...
I read in one review, they say, the animation is sluggish, no one invites anywhere, it's boring. They call, but no one hears. They will not tear a person from a book, or wake him up, or drag him by the hand?
In general, the stand has a schedule of all events. Who wants - comes. And what’s the point of a poor animator running to invite people to activities, if there are already a lot of people there, and there simply isn’t enough time in principle for everyone, for example, to shoot? Once, a bunch of Italian teenagers followed an Italian animator into shooting from a rifle. He himself was not happy. He let me shoot first, trying to push the impudent ones away from the table, otherwise they climbed right under the arms. Who wants - and so will come. And all the familiar faces come)))
Summing up: I VERY liked the hotel, it is ideal for a family vacation))) For youth it is a bit boring, but only a little)))
We arrived at 11am and the room was not ready. We went to the coffee house to wait. Turkish coffee and 'coffee' from vending machines for free, the rest for money. Inside the cafe and near the reception free Wi-Fi, even fast during the day)
