Good day to all and have a good rest!
June 5 -26.2010
I wasn’t going to write anything, but after reading... Obviously, people in other hotels were resting, apparently confusing the names. I will try to be objective, to the best of my own subjectivity. ))

Organization of rest is also work. After all, I want to get positive emotions, relaxation, and not hassle... Therefore, I am looking for hotels and countries myself. I will say right away that I do not really like Turkey as a country for the above. What is service, stardom, well-trained staff in this country have no idea. But it so happened that the son finished the 10th grade (there are no exams) and decided to go right away, knowing how cold June can be. And so it happened. We planned to go to Croatia, but it is also cold there at that time. I took a risk for the third time in Turkey. , My son asked for everything inclusive - the body is growing! )) We were in Alanya, in Bodrum, we decided to see Kemer. By the way, thanks to your reviews, friends, I chose this hotel! Now in order.
Check in.
They arrived at 21:00. The guys at the reception immediately sent us to dinner, taking our passports for registration. When I checked in, I asked for only silence and a bigger room, because. for 3 weeks with an adult son. Didn't give money after reading about the numbers. I knew everyone was bad. Settled in the sector D-3-excellent. The standard room is very small, 14 meters, probably plus an entrance hall. The rooms were even smaller. The second floor was without railings, the lights weren't on at all, you couldn't see a single light. The towels are dirty, the ashtray is full on the balcony. The safe gives out: error, does not work. Nice…Hello, Turkey, vacation has begun! )) Well, let's go clean up the mess at night! They brought in a cleaning lady. She asked with gestures to see if the linen was clean! Ha ha . . The electrician changed the lamp! Let there be light! But the safe was made all day, after my trip to the reception. -done. Hooray! You can relax by filling the safe with money and look around! ; Wow! The water is warm, the mountains are mountains, and the territory. She left a written thanks to the landscapers. For three weeks, everything, before it had time to fade, bloomed with a new, fragrant beautiful.
Cleaning. Flat Achtung. Went to reception. Asked to clean better, and not just change the towels. There was also my cleaner, like agreed, smiled at each other. I left money at first every day. Friends, there is no point in doing this. It doesn't work here. )) Cleaners were changed, it's of little use. I called the manager and showed everything. Everyone tells you - tamam (good), there is no sense. However, changed all the same linen. Khokhlushkas working with Russian-speakers lined up to sign up for a restaurant, everyone complained about the cleaning. Write better, don't speak. The reaction is different.

The mean guy on A. , who was previously written about, said that they had 40 rooms per day per person! Horror. In the end, I decided not to wind my nerves and relax. A cool conversation with the prince of the reception turned out. He told me that he respects me, for well-grounded claims, the ability to negotiate and decide everything (well, damn it, do I need it? ) and opened up. They give him as much as 200 bucks for the settlement, but he cannot settle normally, because. large good rooms once or twice and that's it. The rooms, in his words, are 3 stars, I agree. The management is greedy! Recruiting students and non-professionals to work-100 pounds. They do not want to invest, in short. This is from his words. But after all, these are their problems, not ours, gentlemen having a rest! Truth?
Nutrition.
Ha! I found wonderful times when all the alcohol was in the canteen restaurant. There was a corporate party of the Italian mafia, oh some company. )) After leaving, they-bye-bye alcohol. (remained vodka, wine, beer, sort of). By the way, they made the notorious white party! But we don't! Now only for the money said. They invited artists, they laid tables for them... Well, we smoked a hookah and looked at the belly dance! Quality hookah! I am an amateur.
What is food? I have never seen such abundance! I usually rest at five. I'll reveal a little secret. People, why are you standing in line for a burnt chicken? There are closed containers around (I don’t know what they are called), where chefs prepare a bunch of everything in advance! And there is veal and lamb and steamed fish, and what side dishes! No. . we need to crowd in line for fries and meat piping hot... Mentality. The fruits were in season. Apricots, peaches, melons, watermelons, cherries. The strawberry went quickly. Somehow they began to give rotten cherries, well, I'm bored, and it's a shame for 130.000 hard-earned rubles. Went up to the manager and showed. She said that it was a very big compliment to the chef, but you can’t humiliate your five-star hotel with rotten cherries . . )) Everything was recorded, A day later they brought a completely different one. It worked? In my presence they made the dish of the day - a huge tuna in the dough - they smashed it with a hammer, a whole ram, something else. There weren't enough seats for dinner. It's true. The hotel was constantly on the foot. Trying everything they do is IMPOSSIBLE! Even though I tried! ) Went with my son to all the restaurants. In order not to crowd at dinner. There is nothing to do there, to be honest. The Turks have no concept of the national cuisines of other countries at all. Chinese amused, given that we were in China in different places. But for fun and variety, go! Type of waiters serve and tablecloths! I left a tip. Nobody expected. No one expects a tip in such a stream at all, it is not customary there in a restaurant. Even unusual. By the way, why are you lovely people crowding in line for drinks? Sit at the table, call the waiter, he will bring you everything. We did. All OK! Now about my advice. For 3 weeks of rest, I constantly discovered new things for myself. Tez Tour does not inform anyone at the stand. So here it is! The coolest bar is the Beach Bar at the very end of the beach. There is live music on Fridays and Mondays. It stands right on the sea! There are no people. Alcohol is not pressed. Antalya at night sparkles, the sea smells, splashes from the waves... Wonderful! Relax! Recommend. Ask for nuts in bars! Real coffee is brewed in the bar around the clock! There I also took my drinks to avoid queuing at the main pool bar! And go 3 steps! Many do not know that until 24 in all bars they give everything.

Tez Tour.
We met, saw off and thank you for that. Although, they don’t know anything about the fact that they accept rubles in duty free, or about the letter of guarantee for tickets! ))
Tez Tour does not need anything else except for vouchers. By the way, vouchers on the street sell for $40. Tez sells for $70. Did you catch the difference for a family? Do not listen to guides who scare you that you will not be paid for insurance? Did you insure in Tez-Tour? Not? Well then? What I told them about, plunging them into volcanic surprise and indignation. She finished them off by saying that she bought herself gold. I went to the golden center without them! The guys near the Internet club and shops work - Russians from this center (great guys, our tourists hang out with them all the time), they drove in the best possible way on a Mercedes from the center and one without a crowd. Yes, squeeze discounts up to 65% there. I lost about 60%! In short, the guides are a bummer, there is nothing to raise prices for everything. And they don’t help with accommodation, a woman came up to them, put her adult son in the same bed! And how the poor uncle shouted, who paid for a triple, and they settled him in the standard! He asked for the number of Teza central, and the guides answered him, we don’t know the number! ))) Most of all, I was surprised how they themselves defame the Turkish nation, intimidating that we will be deceived, drugged, brought . . to Chinese stores, in short, all Turkish breds are terrible... You will laugh. Well, they are pretty nice guys. They even advised good hotels in Turkey. ;
Beach.

Well, I spent the last week at Pantone. Bar only without beer. And rightly so, probably, they still dive from the pier. The beach is divided into three parts. For small children, you need to choose the right one, facing the sea, where the entrance to the sea is better. At 5-6 in the morning they began to take sunbeds. Well, complete insanity. In Italy, by the way, for such -1000 euro fine! In Spain, if you fall asleep on the beach - 150 euro fine! Oh how! Turkey is freedom. You leave at 8 in the morning there are no more places and there are no people! And everything is busy! Pull up to 11 am lazily, when many are already leaving. Then we are surprised that the "arrogant Turks" throw everything off the sunbeds. It is a pity that we did not have such "impudent". The guys wear mattresses and open umbrellas, but the beach starts working from 9 or 10 in the morning. The sea in a small storm was a couple of times dirty horror. I had to spend these days near the chlorinated pool. Enjoy animation and loud music. By the way, do not leave small children, the pool is deep. Saved the kids a couple of times.
Animation-workaholic!
But they received a competent command from the management - not to pester the vacationers and not to drag them to events. Guys plow and plant health. I talked and made friends with Yulia, as I had not yet become related there with everyone in three weeks. It was necessary to ask for a residence permit! ))) Contests are funny. Step, aqua aerobics, morning exercises, belly dancing, a lot of things. Leave them magazines and medicines. They don't have medical insurance. I went to shoot. Only a shooting gallery is not equipped, sorry. I love to shoot. Went with my son for diving already 2 times. Ali is a cool guy there, he helped me several times with little things. And Natasha is an excellent diving instructor. There are separate water activities - banana, parachute. And, you can also learn Turkish at 15 o'clock in a bar on the beach. Show programs are varied, but some are boring. I stopped walking.
Nobody liked the disco on the pier. Music. Son rejected. The youth hung out somewhere by itself. Wi-Fi is the enemy of relaxation! Pale-faced children, virtual preferring the sea, aaaa!! ! Argued with my son! By the way, my son, with difficulty, but knocked out the second card - the key for himself, otherwise they were tied.
Spa.
Cozy, clean. Paid on ticket. Sauna is good! Turkish demand to be included! The common room is large. In the midday heat, what you need. I took a set of procedures (scrub, massage... $ 60) once. The masseurs are not professional. But nothing like that. I climbed after a coffee scrub. But there was still a week left!
Shopping.

Shops around the hotel. Bought everything for $10. La Costa, Armani. . haha. . Jeans 30-60 bucks. Bought for my son and myself. Slippers for swimming -4 dollars. In general, there is nothing to buy, but it will be more expensive to go with Tez to the textile center and everything is the same. Sheathed sheets and towels made of bamboo are the latest fashion. Silky, unlike cotton, but heavy! I don't regret it. I also bought fruit and boiled corn. Are the Turks coming? They come if they want. No, they won't come. I went everywhere with my son. I talked to everyone, everyone is happy with life (our compatriots), I was happy for people. We were recognized everywhere, gave gifts even just like that. They did discounts. Lovely people.
Summary.
Tune in to the positive! Treat situations with humor. I've been dying from fat-bellies with golden crosses on a saucer, the Ukrainian brothers flaunted. Don't drink like you're off the chain and trying to fit all the money you spent on ultra-inclusive! )) Have pity on your liver, you only have one! ; Moms! Yes, do not lose your children throughout the territory, take the wookie-talks from whoever has it, the territory is large. And do not close your children in rooms without light, because you have one card! How your kids are crying in the dark with fear while you are having a good time. ((These are your kids! Try to be polite even in complaints, believe me, respond and help. Respect the work of people, don’t be snobs. It’s nice when you don’t ask for a table they bring what you drink (memorize) or a tray of cocktails with sparklers. The guys in bars and restaurants are not pros, but how they work, how hard they try! Don't be rude, just because not everyone understands you in Russian, even if you shout loudly. )) But do not be familiar, to be friends with the servants is bad manners. Smile for your own mood and people will smile at you. In short, "if you want to be happy, be happy"!
