The hotel was chosen on the advice of the travel agency operator, having previously read the reviews. In general, we are satisfied with the rest. Arrived at the hotel around 2:00 pm, check-in did not take long. At the reception, the staff is quite attentive, they suggested that we go for lunch before checking in. Some employees speak quite tolerably not only in English, but also in Russian, which pleasantly surprised us : )
We had a standard room, land view, we saw no reason to pay extra for a more prestigious room, because everything suited us in this. The room is bright, clean, equipped with everything you need: TV, air conditioning, mini-bar (constantly replenished), safe, etc. Round-the-clock hot water supply, daily change of bed linen and towels, room cleaning, cosmetic set renewal.
Nutrition (important point: )
There are several restaurants on site, including a la carte (by appointment).
The choice of dishes is very significant, everything is fresh, you definitely will not stay hungry. Ayran in its original packaging is always available, freshly squeezed orange juice in all bars and restaurants, a very decent coffee machine near the reception, a good selection of cakes and other sweets. There is also a restaurant "Kumsal" on the beach (we recommend a salad with tuna, steak steak and grilled sea bass), a bar and a pizzeria (we visited the pizzeria only once, because we were already in a state of permanent overeating : )
As for the a la carte restaurants, we visited, unfortunately, only two, Turkish (twice : ) and Italian, there was simply not enough time. The Italian restaurant has a very worthy grilled perch and seafood pilaf, in Turkish, as an appetizer, I recommend fried liver with onions and lamb skewers as the main course. I also liked the hummus, but this is already an amateur.
The hotel has a lobby bar around the clock (we didn’t see it closed), a large selection of alcoholic drinks, although local production (brand replicas: )). There is also original alcohol in the "wine list", but for a fee, only we have never seen anyone order it, although the hotel is not only aimed at Russian speakers, there were more than a third of the British, many Turks and Germans.
I note that everyone behaved calmly and balanced, no shouting or noise, very dignified and civilized.
As for the main Tabax restaurant, the choice of dishes is quite significant, everyone can pick up something to their taste, but there was an opinion that presentation/serving in some cases prevails over taste. Beef/veal, for example, was sometimes tough. Sausages of the average price range.
I liked the excellent pastries with sesame, in general, it takes a month to try everything.
Very tasty some varieties of cheese, especially smoked. Olives - several varieties. A huge selection of sweets, soufflé s, cakes, mousses, etc. A decent selection of fruits.
On the tour, we talked with a married couple who were "lucky" to rest in the neighborhood, at the Diamonds Club Kemer 5 * hotel, according to their descriptions, this same Diamonds was only slightly inferior to the Dream recreation center in Koblevo, with amenities on the territory : ) Meat, according to them, was completely absent from the menu. They paid UAH 3.000 ($1.500) for 9 days, which is not so little, in my opinion. In general, everything is known in comparison : )
The territory of the Barut Kemer hotel is small, but very well-groomed, there are several pools with clear clear water, in which we spent no less time than at the sea. The beach is cleaned regularly, it is equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas, there is a pier, also fully equipped (umbrellas, sun loungers).
The sea is clean and warm, the minus is that we didn’t take aquashoes and at first the pebble beach caused some discomfort when entering the sea (and when leaving, damn it, too : ) But the water is extremely clear, the fish swim right at the pier, be sure to grab bring your diving mask : )
Yes, there is a small but VERY well equipped gym with the latest equipment, sauna, hammam and massage parlour. It makes sense to stay at the hotel for ten days, no less, there will be something to do. Animation works for both children and adults. Shows in the evenings, sometimes quite professional.
Now a couple of warnings that are not directly related to the service:
Agents of tour operators (guides) are "nimble" around the hotel, who at any cost want to sell you excursions, very, very expensive, especially those with air travel, which also take up a lot of time.
Believe me, it makes no sense to pay for a hotel with UAI and waste time on long trips, especially since the reviews about them are completely negative (feel free to ask other vacationers).
A separate topic is shopping, in Antalya there is a Metro and City Mall (Turks are bought there), you don’t need anything else. What you did not have time to buy, you will find in Duty Free. Cool shops with prices in dollars, especially for tourists, bypass. By the way, it is in them that sociable and very friendly salesmen (guides, store representatives) want to lure you in.
