Greetings to all rested in this hotel or wishing to relax! Our family (mother, father, son and daughter) rested from 15 to 23 June. First time in Turkey. In my review, I want to share with you my impressions and facts at that time.
We flew from Voronezh, tour operator Pegasus. Arrived at Antalya airport at 4.35 am. Passed customs and passport control without any problems. By bus for 1.5 hours arrived at the hotel. On the way, while we were driving, we listened to a short story of the guide about the place of Chamvyuva, about the city beach of Koni Alta, about the life of the Turks and their customs, about the turtle island and Mount Tahtali. We were interested. We've arrived. The hotel has a very interesting entrance to the reception: the bus first passes through the most beautiful gates with security guards, then turns along the green alley along the path and slows down right at the entrance to the reception. Unloaded, approached the counter. We were asked to fill in guest cards, they said there were no free rooms - wait. But we know that the check-in time is 14.00, so we went to have breakfast in the main restaurant. Oooooh! Here is the breakfast! We never eat like this at home! Eyes wide with abundance, saliva flowing from delicious smells.
Then again we come to the reception to find out about the rooms: we decided not to pay money yet. Suddenly it will. And lo and behold - the number was found. According to the voucher, a family room is laid, a two-room family room. If you look at the map of the hotel, it is a very convenient location: the sea is close, the reception is about 7 minutes walk away, and the main pool is generally 100 steps away. On the electric car, Aziz (we definitely met) drove us to the room, we did not forget to treat him with $ 1. Number opened, showed everything. When he left, we looked around and came to the conclusion that everything is not so bad. A room on the 1st floor (so what, later, as it turned out later, even a plus: it’s always cool and not hot), the bed was not a double, but two singles ?? ? (they thought of changing them, but then they moved them and it became good), the view is not on the sea (not this is the main thing), you go out onto a tiny balcony and you feel like you are standing on the street (nothing, you’re used to it), there’s nowhere to dry clothes, except perhaps on a three-horn, which is attached to the wall or on the railing of the balcony (and we provided for this - we took our rope and clothespins ). There is air conditioning in two rooms. When they left, they left one card in a special pocket, so that when they came to the room they would enjoy the coolness. Cooled well, no problems. I heard who lived on the third floor, it was very stuffy and the air conditioner could not cope. In general, we were satisfied with the number. Tired, dusty from the road were grateful for this. Then we realized that the hotel was full and the fact that we got a room early in the morning (it wasn’t even 9 am yet) was just luck.
Upon arrival, there was no "compliment" from the hotel in the room, I registered in the "I'm going too" promotion. We are not proud: we went, met the lovely girls who work with guests and asked: why is there nothing? Maybe we misunderstood something. But they looked at their computer and confirmed. Then they brought fruits to the room, they also put cool slippers for the whole family and offered to visit an Italian restaurant for free, as dear guests. We gladly accepted the invitation. (I’ll get ahead of myself: we liked it there, only the choice of dishes is very modest, we wanted something else, albeit for a fee - but it’s impossible that it is what it is). Turkish and Mexican did not want to try, we had enough of the main restaurant. During our vacation, we have repeatedly seen how people bring everything they want from the main restaurant to the rooms: fruits, sweets, and even meat and....bottles of wine! We also took fruit in the room and a bottle of wine. The wine tastes normal, more or less diluted. But it does well in the heat.
I was amused by the very location of the houses with numbers: real streets, tunnels, bridges. Well, as in my favorite movie "The Diamond Arm", you can really get lost out of habit, if it weren't for the signs. On the first day, we mastered the main pool and swam in the Mediterranean Sea (although the Turks call it white). The sea is very salty, you can dive with difficulty, clean as a child's tear, entry into the sea is different for anyone: at first it was unpleasant without slippers, then they got used to it. But if there are slippers, then it’s better to wear them! The beach area is large, there is a changing cabin, a toilet is next to the main pool, and the main pool itself is a stone's throw from the sea. The main pool is really crowded with people and children. But it's fun! Slides always worked from 10.00 to 12.00 approximately and in the evening from 16.30 to 18.00. The children saddled them immediately, and we rode. Not a very steep adult slide, but safe.
I was surprised and liked that several times a day in this hotel they sing and dance the Marco Polo anthem! Blimey! Even before the trip, I had heard enough of this song, and yet: when you see that both children and adults are singing and dancing, it is impossible to resist. It fascinates, generalizes and tones! My husband participated in water games in the pool - I liked it! I tried water gymnastics, unusually so. The water in the pool is chlorinated, but the filtration is the strongest. I was pleased with the bar by the main pool: at certain hours you can always enjoy delicious ice cream, have a bite to eat pizza, potatoes, salad or just taste drinks. Don't worry, they won't let you stay hungry
It was annoying that if you come to the beach or to the main pool by 8-9 in the morning, then there are no free sunbeds! I tried twice to borrow sunbeds by the pool at 6.30 in the morning. Good luck. But guys, do it every day - God forbid, when to sleep? Although I saw that there are a few people who just get up early to swim in the steamy sea, meet the sunrise on the seashore, and jauntily land at the restaurant by 7 in the morning (there are few people at this time, ooh, and a lot of food) and then go to sleep with peace of mind. From the reviews, I knew that there was also a far pool in the garden area. We decided to see what it is. It seems that the territory of the hotel is large, but you don’t notice it when you walk, look at the local beauties, breathe in the healing air, listen to the singing of birds and cicadas, squint from the hot sun. That's how we fell in love with visiting the far pool: from the sea to go in time, well, about 10 minutes !! ! This pool always has free sunbeds, there are always few people, always delicious pizza and hamburgers, you can easily get any drink, be it alcohol or cola. There is a shared toilet. And WI FI worked great there!
Internet is also available at the reception, but there are very few seats and very slow speed. There is internet at the main pool: but because of the bright sun, you can’t see a damn thing in the laptop if you don’t put a towel on your head . To connect to Wi-Fi, you need your room number and your date of birth.
About the food in the reviews they wrote a lot and tasty. I join them. Only now they often ran into very peppery food, well, what to do - Turkey. Well, for the life of me, I just don’t understand: how can people write that there is LITTLE food and that this food is not tasty... ???? ? How??? ? I make allowances for the fact that we are in Turkey for the first time, and there is nothing special to compare with, except perhaps with Egypt. But those who write such crap either eat only in ala super duper restaurants, or simply come at the end, for distribution. Yes Yes. If you arrive 10 minutes before closing, you won't find much there. Everything has already been eaten, without you. And so in the process, the chief chef steps importantly and looks at what, where and how, puts things in order, greets everyone. Good man! There is also a Turkish woman in charge of all the waiters. Here's the lioness! Poor waiters really don’t always cope with the pressure of guests, and they really run around with square eyes and there’s nothing like that if you come in and find a dirty table: catch the waiter, smile and ask to re-lay and re-cover. It works!
How Turks love smiling and positive people! And if you also tell them MERHABA, or TESHEKUR EDERYUZ, or KHOSHCHA KALYN. ABOUT! They smile in response, answer you and ask with interest: where are you from and what is your name.
I was very impressed and liked the themed dinners and evenings. On Mon - Turkish dinner, entrance (well, if you are so kind, find a white and red rag from your clothes) in white and red colors. At the entrance you will be presented with a sea of smiles, a bunch of applause and you will be so pleased. All at the highest level! On Wed - a Mediterranean menu, clothes in white and black. On Fri - Slavic dinner, clothes in blue and white.
Animation in this hotel is generally a song! Well done boys. They try. I really liked the girls and guys, the way they move, the way they dance, how inspired and soulful they played scenes from life in front of the audience with the help of dance. And the evening presenter Ice (as I heard, and I write) just made everyone laugh until you drop. At first, his quick speech and a lot of Turkish words strained him. Then they got used to it. Most of all I liked the premiere: a show performance by the main pool. Here is the spectacle! Fire show is also cool - on the seashore, but with splashes, but with torches! And the foam party was generally surprising: we were at such a party for the first time. A bunch of soapy foam that stings our eyes and we are fumigated with thick smoke, like from a hookah. We left an impression of games and competitions with guests at the evening animation. It was a lot of fun! On the day of departure, we finally reached the place where they shoot from the bow. This case was difficult for me and easy for my husband. It requires strong hands, accuracy and skill. Animator Zhenya, from Odessa, is in charge of shooting.
We went to the kids club and met Olesya. Nice girl and great dancer! But the services of the club did not happen to use, the children were interested with us.
We visited only one excursion, we took rafting. $80 per adult, $40 per child. Lots and lots of impressions. We spent the whole day, but we were back in time for dinner. We went by bus from Pegasus to Antalya, on a shopping tour. Really regretted the time spent: everything is expensive and somehow not very good. Souvenirs can be purchased at the hotel, from the seller Shaltyn. Already with knowledge of the matter I can say that he has good prices, and you can bargain. But we made the lion's share of our purchases in the village of Camyuva, there are many shops and tents. There is a choice. You can get all sorts of stuff for a dollar. One morning we walked outside the hotel - and ended up in the village. You can rent an electric car or electric scooter on site. We liked! Only $15 for half an hour.
In general, our holiday was a success. There were positive moments and good impressions, a lot of photos and videos. Would like to come back again. Greetings to the entire animation team. Whom did she remember: hello to Maria (a burning Brazilian girl), hello to Olesya, hello to Artyom, Zhenya, Svetlana and others - you are still hard workers! Hi Shupa - disc jockey. Hello to the girls from the guest relations department (Valeria, Natalie). Thanks to all hotel staff. And hello to Herdem, our room cleaner. Dear woman, we had an interesting conversation: she spoke Turkish, I spoke Russian, but we understood each other! Greetings to the representatives of Pegaturistik: Aidzhana and Kristina.
I am interested in the people of the country where I am going. Their manners and customs, their way of life. They are still different, not like us Russians.
I wish all vacationers a good mood and a sea of positive. Sincerely, Olesya.
