From 18.05. 11 to 31.05. 11 vacationed with a 5 person campaign near Kemer at the five star Daima Resort (UAL). The rest went with a bang, although there were some moments because of which I will put a four on a five-point scale.

Settlement.

We arrived in Antalya on an early flight, and were already at the hotel at 12 o'clock. Official check-in starts at 14-00, so the lobby was busy. A few couples started to play their rights while we went out for lunch and walked around the area. Of the rooms, we were offered either the ground floor at Daima Resort, or check-in at Daima Biz (I’ll talk about this building a little later). They invested 10 dollars in passports (5 per number). After that, the administrator took us aside and said that tomorrow there will be a good room. The next morning we moved from the ground floor to the fourth floor in the Aylin building. In general, almost all visitors started from the ground floor or from Daima Biz. Only Ukrainians, who invested 35 bucks each, immediately got good numbers, but here everyone decides for himself.
Rooms
The rooms are spacious. There was nothing particularly annoying, especially since you don’t spend much time in the room. Good repair, double bed, air conditioning worked. The TV is small and not flat. There was a free safe, but we did not use it, because it was buggy for everyone. As far as I understood, all the safes in the hotel had the same code programmed, so there was no point in it (the money was kept in a suitcase locked). The bathroom is large with a shower. Immediately upon check-in, the maid brings free drinks: cans of Efes beer, sprite, fanta, water. Room cleaning every day. Change of bed like once a week.

Nutrition.
Nobody complained about the food. The food was varied and tasty. I was afraid that I would go hungry, but in Daime this is not realistic, because there is a lot of food and they are fed almost around the clock.
From 7 to 11 breakfast, at 12 hamburgers on the beach, from 12-30 to 14-00 lunch, from 19 to 21 dinner and then from 23 you could come to the restaurant for a light snack. All food is familiar to our stomach. No spicy food. If something ran out, they quickly brought a new portion. There were few fruits in May. Mostly apples and oranges. Strawberries appeared closer to the season, but they were issued at a certain time, like ice cream. There are generally long queues for ice cream, so we only ate it twice. Since the hotel is large, there were occasional problems with free tables. At breakfast and lunch it was not so noticeable, but for dinner you had to come 10-15 minutes in advance to get a table (we liked to eat on the terrace).

Beach, swimming pool, water park
The beach is a mixture of sand and pebbles. At the entrance to the water there are large pebbles, so entering the water is not very comfortable. In principle, there is a pier from which you can jump, but you still have to go out on the rocks.
The water is transparent. Lots of loungers. Never had a problem with a lack of space.


There is a small swimming pool next to the Daima Resort buildings. Next to the Daima Biz buildings there is a chic large pool (it seems to be even 50 m. ) Only the depth of these pools is small, so you won’t jump much.

The water park is on the way to the beach. Works from 10 to 12 and from 14 to 16 it seems. Usually included only three slides: one of the two yellow, white and blue. Maybe they just saved it before the season. The double blue will most likely not work, because, according to the employee, people there often hit their heads against the walls.

Animation, entertainment.
Animators regularly hold all sorts of sports competitions. In principle, we didn’t really need to be entertained, so a few games of darts and bocha were enough, plus we shot from pneumatics (they promised archery in the season). There were games in the pool, volleyball.
Near the beach there is a kicker (quite broken) and a tennis table (racquets are killed, the net is constantly being torn). Billiards is paid, but the table is dead, so they never played. Next to the buildings there are tennis courts (one bad and two normal). The main problem with rackets and balls is that everything is killed to zero + they are almost never available at the box office, so if you have your own rackets, then be sure to take them with you. There is also mini golf. You can indulge, but no one is watching the clearing. On the water it was possible to ride a canoe for free. Windsurfing is free only on paper (if you have an international certificate, then it's free, but if not, pay money).

Pros: very large area, own water park, plenty of food and drink.
Cons: a lot of people, especially at dinner, little fruit, old sports equipment.
