Детское счастье Children's happiness

As stated in the description, the Naturland Forest hotel is located on the territory of the reserve, there are also several other hotels (Country, Aqua and something else).

We went with the whole family (me, wife, and three children, 7.8 years and 5 months). The hotel was chosen based on children (older of course).
What we liked:

1. Territory. Just class. The hotel is located on a hill (more correctly, in a hill). Everywhere there are small paths, passages, small secrets, statues of animals, waterfalls.
Children the first three days just explored somewhere.
There are several pools on the territory (two near the sea and one near the Forest). There are water slides.
The ascent to the hill is carried out by a cable-rail funicular.
There is a footbridge across the road to get to the sea.

2. Number. We lived in a family room (two rooms). All forest-style decorations (green branches, fruits, etc. )


3. Nutrition. They fed well. There is a children's table, and children's lunch and dinner starts 30 minutes earlier (so that there are no crowds).

4. Service.
The rooms were cleaned every day, even clean towels were changed (although I left a $ 1 tip every day). The bartenders and waiters are friendly, smiling if you talk to them like a human being.

5. There are always places on the beach and by the pool. Until 10.00 it’s almost empty (I’ve been to hotels where everything is already occupied from 6 in the morning, there are towels, but no one is there).
Sun beds can be dragged as you like (we are generally small in the shade under the trees, we were sitting on the roof of the bar), no one makes any comments.

But there are also disadvantages.
1. It can be seen that the hotel knew better times. Some of the sculptures are broken (not much, but noticeable).
Some things don't work:
- no steam locomotive
- sometimes the funicular broke down
- part of the pools (or aquariums) is closed
- some water slides do not work

It seems that the hotel is slowly falling apart, which is strange, as it should be in demand because of its uniqueness.

2. Didn't really like lunch.
Breakfast and dinner were held at the hotel itself, and lunch was only at Aqua, and at all hotels. Accordingly, there were several times more people at dinner.
If you come not at the beginning, it is difficult to find a place and the dishes are not always clean (you have to choose).

3. Many Turks, vacationers. Oddly enough, this is a minus. I read a lot of reviews that Russians are pigs, rude, etc. But it turned out that the Turks are even worse. They can pull out a chair or a lounger from under the nose. Take a chair without asking. Pour drinks at the bar without queuing. In general, they behave arrogantly.

General impressions are good. Children are generally delighted, they simply did not notice negative trifles.
One more thing can be said about the Turks. They are very fond of small children. Our youngest just got kissed.


In general, I can advise this hotel for families with children. And if you smile at the staff a couple of times, give a small tip (a dollar is enough) and don’t be rude, then they will also contact you and you will have a wonderful vacation.
