Отдых удался! Vacation was a success!

Rested with her husband and child (10 years old) from 16 to 27.06. 2010.
Reading very unflattering reviews about the hotel before leaving, I was very upset, even dubbed it “Gavnul”, but in reality everything turned out to be not so bad.
The hotel is modest, but at the same time everything you need is there. The rooms are small, the balcony is tiny; air conditioning, refrigerator, TV set, hair dryer, telephone - are present and function perfectly, shower without a tray (a hole in the floor for drainage).
We were settled immediately upon arrival (at 11 o'clock, although check-in starts at 14:00), they gave us a room on the 2nd floor with a view of the mountain. This is probably the most ideal option. beautiful view from the window, no noise from the pool and bar, and no need to climb high, it is annoying in the heat (the hotel is a 5-storey building without an elevator). Room cleaning is daily, but limited to washing the floor and taking out the trash (due to lack of staff).

The food is really very modest (especially breakfast). Instead of the declared 2 restaurants, there is one dining room under a wooden cover, which also serves as a disco bar. I was surprised that not only meat, but also side dishes are distributed in portions. However, my husband was always given a supplement (apparently he has a pleasant appearance : ). Of fruits, only watermelon and melon; dessert - 2 types of jelly-like "something". Alcoholic drinks: beer, white and red wine, gin, raki and vodka are served in glassware, after 21:30, drinks are for a fee.
From entertainment - a small water slide, which operates 1 hour a day (from 14:00 to 15:00). by the end of the set hour, there are almost no people who want to ride (although there were unique ones who ran along a dry hill for a long time after the water was turned off). There is no declared animation, tennis, billiards and volleyball are also absent.
The beach is our own, 7-10 minutes walk did not bother us. There are enough sun loungers on the beach for everyone, but no mattresses and towels (it is better to take towels from home, because there are none near the pool, and they are not allowed to take them from the room). The entrance to the sea - large slippery stones, for small children and the elderly - is rather inconvenient, for us it was not a problem, we started to swim almost from the very shore. There is no bar on the beach, there is only a shower and a changing cabin, a toilet is paid. In addition to the hotel beach, we also went to the wild one (in the direction of Antalya). There are fewer people there, and the entrance to the sea is a pebble, and the landscape is simply fabulous.
The hotel staff is very friendly, which is not always the case even in more star hotels.
In addition to the standard excursions offered by the tour operator (we took "Pammukkale" and
"Demre-Mira-Kekovo"), arranged independent trips for themselves:
1) On the road passing by the hotel, they climbed up and, crossing the road, ended up near the gendarmerie; there is a fork there: a dirt road leads to an observation deck, and a narrow path leads to a gorge to a dried-up river, it is very beautiful there.

2) Guynuk Canyon. You can get there by minibus going to Kemer (No. 28), get off near the sign for the canyon, and then go along the road ~ 5 km. The entrance to the canyon is paid - 5 lire, in addition, to go through a narrow gorge to the waterfall, you need to pay another $ 15-20 for equipment (slippers, vest, helmet), without them they are not allowed. But while I was photographing everything around, my husband imperceptibly swam through the canyon, it's really interesting there, but the price just outraged me!! ! For $20 you can go rafting on a mountain river (equipment, transportation, food included!!! ) On the way back, we found a detour that bypasses the entrance ticket office to the canyon. To do this, having reached the fork, you need to turn left from the main road and, going to the river, go along its bed to the lakes of the canyon.
And in conclusion, I want to say that the hotel is designed for normal people without any special claims, who came to enjoy the beautiful nature and the cleanest sea, because. the surrounding beauty is able to pay for all the minor shortcomings of a cheap hotel. If you go to Turkey to devour and swell - you are clearly not here!
