This is not the first time in Turkey, but the family with a child was on vacation for the second time. The region of Kemer, in my opinion, is ideal for families with small children. Too early for Bodrum. Last year we missed the opportunity to visit the Eldar resort - was in the stop at the end of August-September. This year, we immediately requested it from the agency and considered it on an equal footing with the hotel, in the cat. rested last year in Kemer itself.
General impression: the hotel is new, which was one of the priorities in choosing, since our child is allergic, it is positioned for families with children.
A small, but at the same time, well-distributed “into zones” territory, a large bizarre pool with a bridge, water slides and a good children's pool, location (not far from the resort), beautiful views of the mountains. In the evening, we went out for a walk several times along the road, to the sea, and were also on the street that runs along the Qween Elazabet ship to the admin. the center of the village of Goynuk, there is a lot of bargaining.

stores, but sell mostly consumer goods. You can only take it for souvenirs, for shopping it is worth a ride on a dolmushe to Kemer or Antalya. One day we decided to see Goynuk and “on the other side”, where the administrative center and the mosque are. It is well worth a walk on the day of the Friday market.
Beach. The second line, but to the beach on foot 5-7 minutes is not annoying. There were always enough sun loungers (we came at half past nine in the morning and after four in the afternoon). The beach is sandy, the entrance to the sea is small pebbles. The beach was dirty (but here is the direct fault of the hotel guests, who threw cigarette butts, used glasses under the sun loungers), its cleaning should be approached more carefully, perhaps replacing the urns with a larger one. The bar started working even before 10 am. One more wish: to extend the work of the bar until 18.19 hours, for tea, replace disposable thin cups with normal cups. There are not enough locker rooms, beach volleyball, it would be nice to have a catamaran, canoe.
Accommodation, room. We arrived at the hotel at ten in the morning, our room was just being prepared, and we were offered to go for a late breakfast for now. After that, we were immediately taken to our room. Ours was on the ground floor, the wing overlooking the mountains and the central fountain. Small in size, but after a few days we got used to it. Everything in the room was clean and tidy. Pleasant "for the eyes" design, a large balcony, a bath with a sliding curtain, which is convenient, a free safe, a mini-bar (we also warmed it, but not much). The minus of the room is the narrow shelves in the closet (we didn’t take a lot of things, so we fit into its “dimensions”) and the air conditioner above the child’s bed (the husband upgraded the damper, and it no longer siphoned). Housekeeping is good, friendly cleaners. If they put up a “do not disturb” sign, they were asked to indicate what time it would be more convenient to come to clean up. Regular filling of gels, shampoos and other "consumables".
There are no complaints about food.

Our child and we always had something to eat, and not just “for show”, but tasty and varied. For breakfast, omelettes, yoghurts, a good selection of jams, marmalades and delicious croissants. For lunch and dinner, meat, poultry, stewed fish, boiled, grilled. Choice of dishes with and without spices. Broccoli soup is great for little kids too. Sweet watermelons, oranges, delicious grapefruits, peaches, plums, apples, black and green grapes. Ephesus beer is quite normal, white, red wine is a little worse, in the evening they sometimes took their vermouth a la martini, they didn’t try other alcohol (not lovers of strong ones). Plus, you can take bottled water everywhere, and there are coolers. One of the downsides is that you have to try to arrive on time for dinner. We miss the vegetable casserole, potatoes "from the oven", the tender milk soufflé (when it thawed a little, it looked like ice cream) and Turkish sweets (we called them volohatiki).
From ice cream, chocolate was more acceptable to our taste. (For ice cream lovers, I recommend trying the Turkish company Magnum, you just need to go to the market). Who wrote about the absence of mussels, squids, etc. in the 4-ke: Guys, you didn’t come there, the Mediterranean Sea is considered “poor” for sea-living creatures, for this it’s better to go to Istanbul, a good 5-ku or a fish restaurant.
The hotel staff is friendly, friendly: at the reception, on the first request, they adjusted the doors in the closet and the balcony door (it didn’t close) and solved problems with wi-fi, friendly and at the same time inconspicuous waiters, smiling sous-chefs. Other hotel staff quietly doing their job.
On the second day of arrival, we used the services of the SPA center (hammam, foam massage, peeling and relaxing massage, mask of your choice), then accepted the offer and visited five massage sessions with my husband. Didn't regret it! Thank you for your attention to Ira, Sveta and our massage therapists Mahmud, Bado.
Then more than once after the sea before dinner we went to the sauna to take a steam bath.
Separately, we want to note the work of animation. teams in 2012 , which was collected by the positive and bright Kakha. Thanks to the guys for the evening and daytime shows (for my husband - my favorite water polo, I liked how Olga led aqua aerobics. Vika, I promise to try myself in the steppe again! ). Special thanks to fellow countryman Sasha, as well as Mage, Leo. Your big team brought positive and liveliness to our holiday.
And of course, many thanks to Nana and Sveta for their attention and patience with our son, he enjoyed visiting the Ducky-club and mini-disco, and now at home we are entertained by shows for children and adults)), promises to organize a pizza party.

In general, for a good 4-ki parity price-quality ratio (for comparison, we looked at the cost of the tour and the reviews in the “type 5-ku” Royal Palm resort, through which the road to the beach passes; who rested in Eldar, I think, felt the difference) .

P. S.
Donbass-aero flew on a charter Tez-tour, flights departing and arriving without delay, excellent meals on board (separate children's menu). Transfer Teztura on the level. Good time for arrival and departure.
