First of all, I want to say that my sister and I were vacationing in this region (Kemer, Beldibi) for the second time. We really wanted to go to Marmaris, but due to constant flight delays, we decided not to spoil our vacation and chose Kemer. Regarding the hotel: check-in was without problems, as we arrived at 11.30 pm. and the number was already waiting. The first impression was not very much. The standard room is small, the room has a double bed, dressing table, chair, wardrobe, large mirror, TV with 3 Ukrainian TV channels (these are the ones we found, the TV was rarely surprised), several Turkish and Russian. And there is a small refrigerator. The air conditioner, like other appliances, works when the key is inserted into the reader, works quietly but not too powerfully, the room cools down in about an hour. The bathroom was disappointing: a small one, a washbasin, a mirror, a hair dryer, a toilet, and next to it on the wall a shower faucet without any shutters or even curtains.
On the floor - a drain for water and quite scary peeling doors, because they are constantly flowing water when you take a shower. Another disadvantage is the small balcony. Ours went to the pool, and since the hotel is small, then accordingly on the road to the pool. It was a bit noisy from the cars, but you get used to it. Since we only spent the night in the room, it was normal for us. The main thing is that everything was clean, the bed was changed, the towels too. Cleaned up in a day. As for the food, it was great. For breakfast: 2 types of cheese, 4 types of olives, 2 types of sausage (soy), a variety of vegetables and herbs, salads, milk porridge, cereals, a variety of jams, puree soup, lecho, khachapuri (delicious) or hot buns , stewed vegetables.
For lunch: puree soup, several types of side dish (pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, especially tasty brown, bulgur, lentils, chickpeas (Turkish peas)), always something meaty (chicken legs, wings, stewed fillet with vegetables ), liver, cutlets). It should be borne in mind that you are going to the top three and a country that professes Islam, respectively, you will not get game or pork there. But their cuisine is really tasty, filling, and also useful, because there was always a bunch of fresh vegetables and fruits on the table. There were also a variety of desserts, I do not like them, too sweet, but tourists liked it. The evenings were also varied, the buffet never ended, everyone had enough. Turkish drink, as in all three, useless, cheap diluted wine (white and red) and vodka. Beer - pay. Fanta when the sprite is in stock. The staff speaks 5 words in Russian and 3 in English. At the reception, a woman speaks good Russian.

Another advantage of the hotel is the pool: quite large, clean, almost no smell of chlorine, sunbeds are enough for everyone. There is a beautiful tangerine garden behind the hotel. To the sea from the hotel about 7 minutes. easy walk. The beach is common for threes, if you do not find a signed deck chair (GNL), feel free to lie down on another, no one sees you. Sunset into the sea - stones, there are cleared paths. And the sea is just wonderful: warm, clean and gentle. As for entertainment, you need to understand that no one in the trio will entertain you, look for entertainment yourself. You can walk in the evenings along the waterfront, visit local shops, go on excursions. By the way, last year we took a tour of the tour operator to Demre, overpaid, because in the street agency such a tour was almost twice as cheap. This year they took a boat trip on the street. There is something to compare: pay more - you have a quality tour in a small group with a professional guide, the appropriate level of security and a sea of ​ ​ positive divination.
Pay less - get the right quality. So cheaper doesn't always mean better. Another nuance this year was the large concentration of Russians in the Kemeri resort: if last year there were about 50% of Russians, and 50% of Ukrainians, Belarusians, Turks and others. , this summer I had the impression that you are vacationing in Sochi, not in Turkey. The fact is that Russia is currently hosting a football championship and prices at their resorts have risen, and Ukrainians are increasingly paying attention to European resorts. Therefore, those who are looking for a European audience, should go to Marmaris, well, or at least Side.
In short, if you are looking for how to relax cheaply and with minimal comfort, feel free to choose Beldibi and Gonul Palace. Tip: if you have already been to this region, go to another, because visiting new places is always more interesting than staying in those where you have already been, even good and tested.
And one more thing: wherever you go, alone or with company, don't forget: the main thing you should take with you on vacation is a positive mood. Have a good rest!
