Отличный отель Excellent hotel

We came to this hotel by accident.
The backstory is this.
We rested in Spain, and the eldest daughter studied at the university in St. Petersburg, fell ill with bronchitis. Our wonderful doctors could not cure her in any way, and when we arrived, I decided that we just needed to take her somewhere to warm up. We chose something based on - price quality. At that time, mid-October, the choice was not great. The tour operator Neva offered good prices. We bought vouchers and had to fly out the next day. It was in the evening, and in the morning we were already flying).
We go to good hotels and be that as it may, anyway, I love Turkey, and Egypt and Tunisia because of their gentle sea, bright sun, short flight (which is VERY important for me, I have a bad back, I can’t sit for a long time) and for the cheapness of course!

In general, we chose the Larisa Akman Park hotel in Kemer from the pictures (from the photo) - I really liked the very green area, immersed in pine trees (just constant coniferous inhalations for my daughter) and for the first time in my life I didn’t read reviews simply because I didn’t expect that a 4-star hotel would be SO BAD! The hotel received tourists, but they were preparing for the end of the season: they removed sun loungers from the beach, closed the sauna, turned off hot water in the rooms and there was really trouble with food! Many write that they lack variety, so there was no food at all! Breakfast - boiled, cold eggs, margarine and bread - EVERYTHING! No cereals, pancakes, omelettes, fruits - there was NOTHING! Lunch and dinner - french fries, stewed vegetables - 2 types, sometimes soy sausage stew with carrots! EVERYTHING!!!
After 5 days, I wrote 2 complaints to the Neva and to the hotel administration. I wrote that I would sue and demand compensation for moral damage. After that, they called me from the Neva and said that they would move me. They offered me a choice of one hotel, but I already I knew that I SHOULD READ THE REVIEWS, as I usually do, I began to read (well, at least the Internet was there) and then I was horrified, that hotel is even worse!
I said that I would not go to it. Then they offered this one, I read the reviews, in principle they were normal and even good.
The decisive factor, again, was the green area, the rooms are not on the ground (because it was already cold in the bungalow) and the presence of a playground because I was with my daughter 17 years old and a child 3.5 years old (my baby has been traveling since 7 months, half the world has already traveled : ).
The guide requested an additional payment of $ 50 for 3 days of stay. At the same time, this impudent guide from the Neva demanded that I write a paper that I have no claims against the Neva travel agency and I am moving to another hotel on my own initiative. Only on this basis will he relocate me . I said that I would not write. He said, then stick around here! Just blackmail. I had to write!
So we got Catamaran.
If you think that after suffering in Larisa I just lost my head with delight, you are mistaken.
I thought right.
Arrived quickly - 20 minutes.
Immediately, what caught my eye was grooming, cleanliness, friendliness at the reception and a sincere desire to please.

I briefly said that I was from another hotel and would like to REST for 3 days. A young guy from Ukraine sympathized with me and asked what number I would like to get. I was very surprised. She said that I didn’t care, as long as there were no cars and a bar under the windows - so that the music does not scream. He said that I can choose a room for a neighboring hotel and a mosque, he said that I can look. I chose - for a mosque - there were green trees under the windows and I really liked the view from window. I chose rooms with one huge bed (to sleep with a small child) and with a bed for my daughter.
And here we are in the room.
The view from the window is beautiful - trees, a mosque behind them. Their chants do not interfere with me - on the contrary, even once upon a time, when I first came to Egypt - 15 years ago - there was a curious incident with us.
We are going in a taxi in Egypt, the child did not sleep during the day, was capricious, the taxi driver turned on the radio, some of their music, the child was generally capricious. -gud, and he is the Koran to me. I almost fell through the ground : )
So it doesn't bother us personally : )
The room is large in size.
I was amazed that the carpet was very clean. When we arrived, the cleaning was going on and while I was choosing a room, I saw that ALL the rooms were being vacuumed for a long time.
The bathroom is also large, with a large bathtub. The plumbing is new, everything is shiny.
We went for lunch, there was plenty of food. Lots of fruits, shrimp, meat, beef, chicken, meatballs (tasty, not soy), small chicken skewers, rice (there wasn’t in that hotel), mashed potatoes are very tasty, delicious cakes for dessert, not just Turkish sweets (I don't eat them at all).
I was struck by the playground. There is no photo of their new playground on this site and in general on the Internet, and there is such a chic large complex of several slides! Swings, small slides. Super! Peacocks roam the territory, the child was delighted.
The territory is small, but everything is buried in greenery, immediately behind the hotel there are mountains, pines.
We spent a wonderful day! We laughed heartily at our adventures in Larisa (my review about it is here), rested, swam. The weather was excellent, abnormally warm, the very end of October.

I was pleased with the staff - everyone is polite, but no one bothers, they don’t get massages, they also take excursions. The waiters are smart. They clean quickly, but they don’t grab the plates and if they see that there is food, they don’t take away the plates. For the child, they immediately carried me a child high chair. Usually they pretend not to see and wear it myself.
I really liked the SPA area: sauna. Hot, which is rare, but the hamam is generally wonderful! Big. It's great that we went there - we lay on a huge hot table in the center of the hamam and enjoyed it, and the child poured water from the basin and was just happy .
Beautiful indoor pool.
Massage along with foam peeling cost $ 40. We didn’t take it. We didn’t want to wash off the tan, go home in 2 days.
The guy at the reception was constantly wondering how the hotel was, if we needed anything. I said that everything was fine and we didn’t need anything.
On the next day, I went to Big Migros because it was only half an hour from this hotel, it was very convenient. We spent half a day on the beach, and when the baby fell asleep, I left. I arrived late, but I had time for dinner. We still had a whole day of rest after all, the plane is at 11 pm! We wanted to take a picture and calmly collect our things, BUT this terrible guide called and stunned us! Transaero rescheduled the flight and they would pick us up from the hotel at 7 am. one photo! So insulting! Not only did Transaero steal the first day of rest - the flight, like the first time was in the morning, but was postponed to 19 hours - we arrived at the hotel at 23-30, can you imagine? So they also stole the last day, and we was 12 days old.
In general, we packed our things, went to bed, went to breakfast in the morning, we thought we would have time, but it turns out that the minibus came for us not at 7, but at 6-30. they took a ticket for 5 days to celebrate an anniversary and they also stole 2 days from them, this is out of 5 days! They only rested for 3 days, and such tours are very expensive, because the main thing is air travel. They were generally taken away at 5 in the morning because the driver said he arrived 1 tourist and they decided not to waste gasoline, but to dissolve everyone at once! You can be stunned!
We arrived at the airport at 7-15, and the flight was at 11. This has never happened before!

These are the 3 days we spent in this hotel in October.
We liked it. The rooms are cozy, clean, the food is good, and it's also the end of the season.
So my opinion is that the hotel is good. It justifies its money.
We are optimists, we travel often, so we are happy with the rest anyway - our daughter has completely recovered! We rested in October - now the end of February - when I write a review - my daughter has never been sick. We go out all the time to warm up.
Summary.
Feel free to go here!
