Первая семейная загранпоездка First family trip

Hello to everyone who is going to visit the eldar hotel! My husband and children (5 and 9 years old) and I stayed at this hotel in mid-May 2012. I will try to describe in more detail my impressions about this hotel.
Accommodation: we arrived at the hotel at 10 pm, they placed us right away, but what was our surprise when we entered the room: it was not a standard room that we paid for, but a huge room with one large bed, one single bed and an extra bed in the form of a folding chair, and even a huge window or rather a loggia. We were delighted because we didn’t give a penny (or rather a dollar) for this and didn’t even ask !! ! Well, when we opened the curtains in the morning and looked out the window, our delight knew no bounds - mountains, forests, in general, beauty! Our room is 2234. Since our room overlooked the pool, it was noisy: we have a three-hour difference with Turkish time and the first days of the children (and themselves) tried to put them to bed early, it was difficult to fall asleep to loud music (up to 12 hours of disco on the street) , but then they adapted and if they got tired during the day they fell out to the music.
Cleaning: they cleaned almost every day (almost - because they themselves refused), changed towels, bedding. There are no complaints about cleaning.

Food: great! for breakfast, they fried scrambled eggs, pancakes, cucumbers and tomatoes from morning to evening, buns, various cheeses (by the way, there is very salty cheese there, we got it with beer, class !!! ). For lunch..... to be honest, you won’t remember everything, but there was a lot of everything and it was delicious!! ! Trout was often given - just delicious, my husband was delighted! The chicken was constantly in different versions, there was a turkey, veal, lamb. And what kind of cakes they make..... I didn’t care at all about the figure, I always took a larger piece. Of the fruits there were apples (very tasty), oranges, pears, melon, and cherry plum (that's what, but we didn't appreciate it). Strawberries were taken on the street for $ 2, very large and tasty. From the booze were beer, red (dry) and white wine (did not try), vodka, crayfish, whiskey, rum, vermouth, and various cocktails. There was also cola, sprite, fanta, concentrated juice (yupi), ayran (for an amateur). On the beach from 11.00 to 17.00 a woman baked cakes (very tasty, I especially liked them with sugar), sometimes she made them at the hotel for dinner. Twice they made sushi for dinner, I also really liked it, although my husband didn’t really like it. French fries, hamburgers, pizza, baked potatoes with stuffing are also available all day. Yes, and the most important thing - from 17.00 to 18.00 they give ice cream!! ! Also very tasty, the children were very happy with it!
Animation Entertainment: the animation team is large, 13 people, I can’t say for sure. Almost all are from Georgia. Well done guys!! ! Starting at 10 o'clock, with a short break, they tried to stir up our brother: water polo, table tennis, football, basketball, bocha, darts, dance lessons, aerobics (water aerobics, yoga were also planned). But our brother is not so easy to stir up, which is a pity, the guys are trying very hard for us! Even in between "activities" they tried to cheer us up! The hotel has three of its own songs - we all danced to them. special thanks to the mini club! the children were busy almost all day (we really got there only after lunch, as we went to the beach in the morning). There they drew, made various crafts, organized competitions (there was even a chess tournament! ). Greetings to Nana and Tanya from our children. Separate greetings to Doug, my daughter just fell in love with him! (and not only her). Well done, very attentive to both children and adults, always friendly and helpful!
Beach: as everyone writes, walk to it for 10 minutes at a slow pace. we almost always wrapped in aviaries with birds, very interesting for children, even if they went every day! The road didn't bother us, a little walk wouldn't hurt either! the beach is clean, small but cozy. Nearby is the pier of the neighboring five, guests of other hotels are not allowed on it, but sometimes it was possible to slip through! recumbent was always enough! the sea is just super - it was both calm and not very, but it was great to ride the waves! The sea is clean, warm (somewhere around 21-22 degrees)! There is a bar on the beach (as far as I understand, this is a bar of a neighboring hotel, and ours rents it from 10 am to 5 pm, since tables were set there for guests of a neighboring hotel in the evening). There were juice, beer, ayran, tortillas, hamburgers. A very friendly waiter, he asked us for coloring books for his sisters, we had a lot of them and of course we gave them, he was very happy.
Excursions: taken on the street, two times cheaper than the guides. We went on a picnic - fishing at a trout farm, caught trout there (my son and husband were delighted), there we fried lamb, trout we caught, there was alcohol and juices. We really enjoyed.

I highly recommend this hotel to everyone who is going or is just going to this hotel!
P. S. Some tourists write about the smell from the treatment facilities, we were 10 days old and during all this time in the morning we never smelled (although our balcony overlooked the pool), but on the penultimate day in the afternoon we really smelled (but no more than 30 minutes). It was assumed that it was an outlier. But still, this fact did not spoil the opinion about the hotel.
