Vacation is always unexpected, so the question of where to go arises with particular speed and delay becomes like death (to be left without rest). In addition, whoever remembers in Moscow in August will probably understand how much they wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible to where it can be hot, but there is no smoke ...Until now, they have never been to Turkey (God have mercy), but that was but our first vacation with a child (7 years old), so long-distance flights (Thailand, Viet, Maldives) disappeared due to a long flight and the absence of Alla, the strangest thing is that there were no tickets to Thailand a week before departure ...Schengen was half a year for everyone but Turkey still won ...
So Tez Tour, which itself left the joint Russian-Turkish company, together with Atlant-Soyuz (the airline of the Moscow government), Ali Bay 11/10, pool suite, uall and all this for mere trifles in the amount of 8500USD for three, for some reason I it seemed that it was cheap in Turkey ...(((, I was wrong ...((


About Atlant-Soyuz
- this is an IL86 with sat-down seats, and certainly not Emirates in everything, from landing to service on board, if someone ate, then what they gave, apparently he was completely hungry ...but oh well, because it’s not far to fly. .. , took off with a little 0.30 min. late without any problems and headed south, we had a laptop with us, so we watched a movie, and sincerely sympathized with those who flew with one-year-old and a little more children ...but here everyone is his own boss.
Landing is normal, goodbye IL, hello Antalya. There was a queue for stamps, a queue for a passport, a queue for suitcases, and here is the bus, to our hotel - we are alone, a hotel in Tekirova, about 70 km along the coast. Let's go, the Mercedes bus drove quickly, and the guide Teza briefly told us about traditions and customs. I liked the joke about the barrels on the roofs of houses ...whoever heard it will understand! We arrived at the hotel at 11:30.
Check in:
Quickly, a questionnaire, passports are not needed, a deposit is not needed, they gave a hotel card, they said about a late breakfast and go on the hotel car to the room, which is already ready, so they didn’t wait until 14.00, respect for that! Room keys are electronic, they are also means of payment in all bars, spas, etc. , with the exception of shops
Number:
Pool Suite, like a two-room suite - I liked it at first sight, there is a bed in one room, a sofa in the other (more precisely, two sofas, one of them folds out), two TVs, a mini bar, two built-in air conditioners (they make noise, but they are so cold), mini bar (free of charge), balcony with stairs to the pool. . in our building there are 20 rooms for a common pool, as well as in the neighboring one, buildings without pools are further and three-story, ours are two. Everything is new and it's good.

It seemed strange that the hotel, knowing that the three of us put everything in duplicate, including towels, called the reception, asked, thought they would bring, they really brought towels, called, asked about the bathrobe, brought it, but the bed linen could not be delivered during the day ...he asked everyone, including the Tezovsky girl who is on duty in the hall, as it turned out, he had to start asking not "from above", but "from below", he took it from the maid ...cool, but true. They cleaned every day for all the time, but the cleaning schedule is a mystery, either in the morning or in the evening, there is a cool thing with lit red and green displays, but it didn’t help much ....tips that are what is not ...everything is the same, no one swans twisted, did not pour flowers, only a strange smell after cleaning some, but generally normal.
The bar was filled in the same way as they were cleaned according to their unknown schedule, I didn’t understand with wine, it was either added or not, in principle it was not so important, so it didn’t bother. A Jewish military trick - we take everything from the bar that we haven’t drunk today, put it in the closet, by the end of the stay there is a battery of small scales of local vodka, now it’s all at home, we haven’t tried it. . , or maybe something like dumplings. . )) In the bathroom there is a shower, a bath with a massage, a hairdryer, etc. , all the soaps and pastes are there, but for all the time no one has ever changed or added. .
Yes, the air conditioners work only when the doors and windows are closed, there are limit switches everywhere, closed loosely - it doesn’t work, everything doesn’t work without a key card either. The Internet in the lobby is really free, in the room you pay for the cord, going once to the lobby and trying to download mail for an hour, I gave money for the cord - a week 50 euros, but some suffered in the lobby, masochists, what can I say ...
Restaurant:

their several main buffet, on the beach, in the water park, + bars. The food in the main for 10 days as in a pioneer camp surprised me with its predictability and the absence of any frills. In the morning, combinations of eggs, omelettes, sausages, juice was in unlimited quantities in the morning, they squeeze it out there automatically, so you don’t have to wait - this is a plus, fruits - watermelons, melons, figs, peaches, apples, pears, grapes - always. There are only two soups and only cream ...only chicken and beef from meat, there are no unclean animals, but I wanted to ...This is a song about waiters, they live their own lives, they move in a Brownian way, douse themselves with the remnants of food, wear worn-out shoes on a thick soles, and apparently they are taking their first steps in this field, but they know about tips ... ))). On the third day, they “fed” one, it became easier, the table was in reserve, the wine was immediately in a bucket with ice, hello, goodbye, etc. , the rest of the “unfed” lived on their own ...
service in the restaurant and food - definitely not higher than 2 points. Then I read on the Internet that the Turks refuse Alla, like belittling the status of the hotel, laughed to tears, so who will go there without Alla, if in Tekirov, where the hotel is one street, with three cafes ...fly away, but oh well let them try, they are Europe ...by the way, it already shows everywhere ...in the numbers of cars in the currency of calculation ...The rest of the restaurants are similar, they did not go to the included dinner in 1 A la Carte. Uall - strange something in the bar is included, something is not, so Red Label, Jameson - free of charge, a Jack Daniels - for a fee, the menu is boring to scroll through, a sign of payment - they give you to sign a piece of paper-bill. A card is needed always and everywhere, even if you take cola ...
For all the time there was a Gala dinner, the invitation was in the room - to come in black and white, they laid a large common pool, tables solemnly, bows on chairs, candles, one bad luck - the food line was set up so that for half the evening everyone was sitting in smoke (remembering Moscow with its peat fires), then someone gave the command and the food line was moved, but by that time everyone had already eaten ...the service is mine ...the backdrop is good, but the embodiment ...as always.
Contingent:
Kazakhs, Russians, Turks, Germans, Italians. What surprised me - a lot of Kazakhs, and a lot - really a lot! ! ! What was surprising for us - they relax in a big way, a yacht for a day for $ 1000 is normal! , for a barbecue on the island - for the same money they can also afford it. Respect to Nazarbayev - it was terrible in Kazakhstan in the 80s ... , apparently something has changed. Italians are pure assholes (the rhyme turned out) - that adults, that children, they just don’t pee in the pool ...
SPA:

Again, a new one, the girl did it, showed everything, suggested, took the program in a separate hammam room, + foam massage + Thai massage + milk bath, 400Euro, were satisfied, the masseuses were Thai, for about three hours the whole action. The child steadfastly watched cartoons while crushing with his wife. We did not go to the general SPA, but in general it is clear that everything is decent.
Beach:
A sea of ​ ​ ​ ​ umbrellas and sunbeds, and all empty, there is a lot of garbage, they just haven’t learned how to clean it yet. Specials are lying on the beach. the rake that two boys drag in the evening in the dark behind them, depicting sifting sand, is depicted normally, it’s less sense ...Umbrellas and sunbeds are all working, you have to open it yourself, but it doesn’t bother you. A big minus is the sunbeds made of wicker plastic, birds poop on them (I apologize for the details), and so no one removes these sparrow things and not only ... , the pools have the same trouble, it’s clear that there is a towel, but it’s unpleasant, by God .
Towels are given on cards in three places, for some reason only until 18.00, then Towel Station is closed. The sea is cool, warm, sunset on the pebbles, whoever was in Sochi will remember and understand. On the beach, they hardly bother with services, very unobtrusively, the wife and child rode on a parachute, 60 Euro, without incident and liked it.
Aquapark:
they can be divided into 4, adult, children for very young children, more children and even more. In the last adult children's room, the depth is 90 cm (in the pools near the buildings 140), cool pirate buildings are made, everything flows and murmurs, the water park is an offset ! ! !
Animation:
I can’t say anything about an adult - apparently I passed by, but the nursery is at a height - there is a separate club for children, you can take your child there, there is a separate kitchen, there are many animators, 7-8 people with children daily, in the evening a children’s disco, the truth is always the same, it’s apparently difficult to learn new things, but children don’t care.

There was a big performance with the participation of children, they were preparing for three days, they gave out costumes to everyone, they made up, it went very well, for this respect to the animators, especially for the performance with male striptease, they watched the video at home and laughed like then, well done. !
Tours:
We went to Mira-Kekovo. The most impressive thing is the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, it’s a pity that everything is commercialized, icons, etc. , are correct here, because I get a rollback here (I’m talking about the guide), but here they are wrong ... , one more benefit - fed there are three stars in the restaurant, it looks like an army canteen - a scoop of one, a scoop of another ...Another shopping in Antalya, I’m on top here, Mercedes Vito, three of us go to lured stores, for leather and furs - divide by two you can’t go wrong, there is separate good things, they didn’t pick up anything for the child, I couldn’t do it myself either, small sizes ...
, textiles (linen) are more expensive than in Moscow, because Tac & Aria in my homeland is a little more expensive in retail, but the choice is less than in Moscow.
Well, that's all, Emirates is the same way back ... ))) I'm talking about Atlant-Soyuz, which could not get a ladder and let it out through the cargo hold (those who flew IL86 will understand)
Conclusion:
Prepare the sleigh in the summer, and leave in advance. Turkey is in the list of countries where you want to return - it is not for me and my wife EXACTLY! ! ! IMHO!
