Read a lot of reviews when choosing a hotel. As a result, we realized that all hotels in the category up to 16.000 rubles (per person in a double room) / 10 days are approximately the same. We decided not to fool around and take a 4 * fortune in Kemer (the area was a priority), 2 days before departure - it turned out very economically. Prepared for the worst, but the hotel turned out to be quite okay. So, in order:

Check in:
drive from the airport for about an hour and a half. Checked in even before 14 - at 12:30. The guy, who only knew Turkish, helped to carry the suitcase, although I refused, showed with gestures how to open the door with a card, and did not take a tip.

Hotel location:

pushed deep from the sea. Moved to mountains with forest. There is a narrow road between the hotel and the forest, the car is not driven very often. Free buses run to the beach on a schedule, over punctual, that is, a little ahead of time - they ran into a couple of times, left from under their noses, although it was without 5. Rides, winding through the streets - you can get confused.
Lucky to the hotel beach - it is far away. Waiting for him to go there, drop everyone off, then come back - for a long time. Go faster yourself. It is pleasant to walk along the main pedestrian shopping street and all the time straight towards the sea. in time to the nearest beach - 10-15 minutes, and to the hotel - 20.

Room location:
Here you should not miscalculate with the location. Some rooms (beginning with B) are located on the ground floor. This floor is below the first floor, on the same level as the outdoor pool (this kind of rooms and pools located below the ground level are common and not only in Magic hotels). If you get a room overlooking the pool - normul; consider you have a large public balcony, you can quickly take sunbeds, in the evening look out of the window at the surface of the water. But at the same time, at night you will naturally have to curtain the curtains so that you are not seen and close the sliding doors tightly, because.
at night, someone can sit by the pool, smoke or talk. Beach towels, by the way, are also not clear where to dry, because there is no private balcony, although each of the rooms has several hooks outside.
There are also rooms on the ground floor, which do not overlook the pool, but they go into the pit from the rear facade.
From the room on the ground floor, too, not everything is so smooth - 3 or 4 rooms go directly to the open restaurant at the hotel. That is, it really turned out absurdly, these rooms have a balcony with chairs and tables, but in fact it is not a balcony, but simply a partition between the main dining room and the room. We ourselves saw how, while eating, young people from these rooms picked up plates and climbed over the partition, sat and ate on their "balcony" - so to speak, in the VIP box. there they sent to bring a hookah.

By the way, while eating, vacationers can look at the rooms and the people in them through the poorly curtained windows. The absurdity of the situation lies in the fact that one of these rooms is a suite, or something like that, that is, a more expensive room with a jacuzzi (we looked at it ourselves : )) and more spacious.
The remaining rooms are divided into those in the direction of the pool-mountain-road and those in the direction of the neighboring hotel (1.5-2 meters distance between the windows).
Some rooms have a full balcony, some have a French balcony, and some don't.

We immediately noticed this and just asked the guy at the reception (he spoke good Russian) for a room overlooking the pool. Dali did not have to pay extra.
Rooms:
Small, quite comfortable. Someone there wrote about small showers. Good showers - spacious! at least that's what I got. Drainage yes, not very steep, but it still flows))). The TV is badly tuned.
I would like to note Turkish inattention, inscriptions even in expensive-positioning stores with typos on signs: “buy 2 boxes, 3 for free”, “thEnk you”, etc. This also applies to rooms. For example, in ours, when installing the door in the bathroom, the lock was made from the outside, not from the inside))) And the cleaning is the same. They may forget to put a towel or soap. We found panties on the shelf, forgotten by the last guest, and a couple of days later, behind the nightstand - shorts ...such an attentive cleaning : ) But, every day - a new figure from blankets.

Staff:
there is a Russian speaker, there is a local speaker. Pleasant people, actually. There are Turks, there are non-Turks. Chefs and waiters joke all the time, removing food from under their noses. Some people don't like these jokes. Good-natured. Hello. - sincerely.

Food:
The restaurant is open from the side of the road. It's hot, the propellers work, but they don't get very cold.
like this food in all of Turkey (they were in other places and talked with people from other hotels - one to one).

Breakfast: 3 types of eggs. 3-minute boil, 5-minute boil, scrambled eggs, sometimes scrambled eggs. Sometimes pancakes are cooked - delicious. Lots of varieties of jam. Cereals. Rolls, 2 types of 3 types, cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelon melon. There is no excitement.


Dinner: It's kind of an abolished dinner. see dinner. There is no excitement.

Dinner: puree soup, 2 types of garinra, 2 types of meat (mainly chicken, but sometimes fish, meat or kebab are fried), vegetables, salads, seasonings, dressings. Watermelons, melons, cherries, apples. Desserts are very tasty too. The excitement is not very large in size at the beginning of dinner, and when grilling meat or serving french fries with ketchup.

Snacks between meals: local pizzas and tortillas are baked. Sometimes some sweets.

The drinks:.
4 types of yuppies, water, tea, coffee, granulated chemical tea and drinks in the bar: type-cola, type-fanta, type-sprite, mineral water, ice tonic, wine, beer (I'm talking about free ones).

Attention: in the bar I wipe the glasses with the same rag with a very old rag. There is no other way to explain why some glasses frankly smell like homeless people. The way out is (if without swearing): take plastic glasses near the machine with tea and go to the bar with them.

Lunch package: 2 slices of tomato, 4 slices of cucumber, 8 olives, 1 thick slice of bread, 2 jams, 1 soy sausage rounds. (we saw lunch packages of other hotels - one-to-one)

23:30-00:00 night soup. I don't know what it was, they weren't.

Uneaten products are reused - but this, once again, is the case everywhere in Turkey. Everywhere, for example, where they squeeze juice from oranges, no one washes oranges anywhere. A glass can be wiped with a finger. It's like that everywhere. In general, the Turks simply relate to this. Need to be more careful.
Bottom line from the food: satisfied! There is not much choice, but we were always very, very full. Very tasty cherries and desserts. They didn't get poisoned.

Entertainment at the hotel:
sauna, Turkish bath, small gym, indoor cold pool, indoor cold jacuzzi, massages and masks (for money), table tennis, hairdresser (for money) outdoor pool 5 * 4 approximately (many pools in other hotels are even smaller), children outdoor pool, small but fast water slide, disco sometimes (were not), table football (extra charge), backgammon.


Who is resting:
at the time when we were - mostly Lithuanians. And so: Russians, Ukrainians, Turks, Germans, Poles of all ages. Everyone seems to be happy - having fun, splashing in the pool, sitting in a restaurant in the evening, playing board games and smoking a hookah. Only Russians sort things out, express dissatisfaction and bring negativity.

Beach:
Paid, officially - $ 2 per day.
At lunchtime, just something to do. Beach towels are not provided by the hotel so you need to bring your own. It’s almost impossible to walk and just lie down on your rug - the sunbeds are sooo tight and there’s simply nowhere to squeeze in. Those parts of the beach that are free from sun loungers and are not divided between hotels are very narrow and full of cigarette butts. It should be said right away that no one forces you to choose this particular beach, it is the Magic Hotel. You can walk along the coastline and bargain for sun loungers with umbrellas at other hotels. The Turks are happy! By the way, the red price for sunbeds per person is 1 dollar, I think you can bargain for one local money (about 0.75 dollars). Some, by the way, offer for 5 per person - like that.
It's all about the big long and narrow pebble main beach. But there is also a second one. But a little further. To the right, behind the yacht parking.
