Hi all!
VACATION SUCCESSFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only yesterday we arrived from vacation, we rested in Turkey for the first time, so we decided to write a review with details, because. after reading the reviews before leaving, we had not the most pleasant impressions about the hotel.
Our operator was Turtess, there were no problems with departure, meeting and check-in, everything went quickly and without problems. The only negative is that we arrived in the afternoon, so we got to the hotel only at 18:00, so almost the whole day was gone . It takes about 1:15 to drive from Antalya Airport to Beldibi on comfortable buses, you won’t be bored, because. You will be told about the country, you will see how people live and many wonderful views from the window, different hotels along the way.

Approaching the hotel, it was already possible to compare with what I saw on the road. The building was impressive in size and very beautiful appearance made of white marble, there were fountains in front of the entrance and a view of the large central pool. The hotel lobby was also huge, very beautiful, also made of marble with glass elevators. There was a Russian-speaking staff at the reception, there was no queue and we were settled in 10 minutes, they gave us a key card to the room and cards for getting towels, which can be constantly changed, they took us to the room on the 4th floor, they told and showed everything. suits, then if there are free rooms, they can relocate money, while they do not play a role.
About the hotel: a five-story building with excellent design, everything is very beautiful and tasteful, very clean, just sterile, everything is constantly cleaned. , spa-salon (wet and dry sauna, hammam, indoor pool - it's all free, other services are paid) Be sure to visit the Turkish massage complex in the hammam - there will be an unforgettable experience. The spa has a very calming atmosphere, twilight everywhere, relaxing music and a pleasant aroma, if you stay for a long time, you will want to sleep, many did just that, rested by the indoor pool on sun loungers or put the kids to sleep there. In the evening, illuminated fountains work and the whole territory, so many tourists from neighboring hotels come to take pictures, the view is simply mesmerizing!!!!
About the room: a large room with carpet, 2 wardrobes, a bar, a TV with Russian-language and 1 Ukrainian channel, air conditioning, snow-white linen on the beds in the bathroom, a bunch of the same snow-white towels, a hairdryer and a complete set of weds in hygiene: sh-n, gel for a shower, sticks, sponges, s / paste, soap, s / brushes, a nail file, if someone is traveling for the first time, then you can not take all this with you. The bathroom is large enough with a beautiful renovation. Problems with hot water and what -there was never a breakdown, though when they wanted to take a shower from the mixer, the water came out with great pressure, but there was no water from the shower itself, they unwound it, it turned out that the mesh on the shower hose was clogged, they cleaned it, everything was in order, my friends had the same thing. If anyone - it’s a nightmare, it was possible to immediately call a plumber, but we didn’t bother. The view from the balcony of the room overlooked the highway, the second pool and a huge mountain range. There is a table and two wicker chairs on the balcony. In general, we really liked everything. The room was cleaned daily, everything was changed ---- they didn’t bring water, you could take it in the restaurant and in any of the bars. they cleaned it for money and it’s the same way, only once they didn’t throw out the ashtray, and there’s nothing to complain about, everything is clean and tidy. Later, many told us that they don’t clean their garbage and they don’t take out bottles with bags, but since we are in We only spent the night in the room, didn’t drink and didn’t swine, we didn’t have such problems. We went for dinner in the evening, which lasts from 19:00 to 21:00, there is also a late dinner.
About the restaurant and food. The staff is always smiling and always ready to help, all dishes are sterile, everything is quickly cleaned, all napkins and tablecloths are snow-white, and it is also constantly decorated in different ways, now in red, now in blue, then in black and white , create beautiful compositions from fruits and desserts. In general, super! When they read the reviews, many wrote that there was nothing to eat, no meat, etc. what is cooked on the grill on the street and who could not find meat (not, of course, without queues, compatriots could not—it sits too deep in us, so we took a queue in front of the doors of an unopened restaurant to queue for the grill))))! slaughter! Of course, there is no pork, Muslims are still, but you don’t eat here for bacon, beef, chicken, turkey, fish, everything is in assortment and constantly different. No need to burst into a restaurant immediately with the opening or wait under the doors, as if - then nothing will get, we came an hour later, everything was in we didn’t stand in any queues. For breakfast, scrambled eggs and scrambled eggs, sausage, although we have it much better, different vegetables, milk porridges, muesli of all kinds, as you like and pour yourself, fruits, delicious buns and many varieties of bread, different seasonings for vegetables, many types of cheese, etc. , there is a separate dietary table. For lunch in the main restaurant, first-course soups are very thick, side dishes: potatoes, pasta, rice, very tasty, etc. , various meats and fried and stew, fish, vegetables, salads, cold appetizers, delicious stuffed pita bread, fruits: apples, melons, watermelons, plums, apricots, nectarines, a lot of desserts, white and red wine, tea (in bags with different flavors), coffee. If someone is not full, then until 17:00 they cook cakes with cheese and meat just super on the street and there is also a snack restaurant on the beach, this is for those who want to dine near the sea, the menu is a little simpler there, but there is also a choice . For dinner, they definitely cook something on the grill on the street and fish and meat and desserts in boiling oil, once they cooked a huge bomb tuna, barbecue and a lot more, if you don’t want all this, then in the building itself there is meat and fish, wine, beer, etc. , in short, so much that if you try everything, then there’s no time to go to the sea. Sometimes it’s true that many are malnourished , the choice is not like that, probably at home they eat caviar with spoons, so there was nothing to come here then. I think that after such a variety you can just roll out and shout the ski track to me it is true that there are no juices, but only concentrates, local alcohol and 4 types of European, different cocktails, in short, if you wish, you can get drunk, which happened to some, because 99% of vacationers are Russians and Ukrainians, but there were no violent ones After dinner there were always some entertainment prepared by the animators.

About animation: during the day, animators entertained people with active games: water polo, darts, shooting from a gun, etc. for girls, water gymnastics, belly dancing, games with children and much more, in the evening a mandatory show with competitions, raffles, sometimes they came and other artists, there was a Brazilian carnival, fakirs, in short, there was no time to be bored. Special thanks to them, because people could start and entertain, very positive guys and their chief animator is excellent! If you want to relax, then all these entertainments are not imposed and will not interfere with you. you can’t hear it at all. Once they held a disco on the pier, everything was decorated in white colors and balloons with hearts, the laser show looked awesome. fee, who went, was delighted.
About the sea and nature: the entrance to the sea from the hotel through the underpass, which is decorated with marble and paintings, there are still shops and you can go along the street across the road. It’s hard to write something about the sea, at dawn it is white and merges with the horizon, also called the White Sea, the water is crystal clear and saltier than the Black Sea, even grains of sand can be seen from 5 meters, though there are almost no living creatures, but in the morning flocks of fish come and you can feed them. All the stones that are cleaned under water are visible, so there is where to jump. There is a sunset from the shore, the bottom is with small pebbles and not very deep, everyone relaxes there with children, for those who love the depth, there is a large two-tier pier with different sunbeds, umbrellas and a bar, it is better to take places in the morning to be in the shade and stay there all day. For all the time it rained 2 times, everything dried up quickly and on the last day there was a storm, even the pebbles were washed away and only sand remained on the beach. The pier offers a view of the mountains and coastal hotels, you can still go on a wild beach, which is located nearby from the hotel on the right side. If there is a desire, then you can still see something on excursions.
About excursions and souvenirs: the hotel guide of our operator Elena at the meeting told about all the excursions that cost from 40 ye and purchases, there was also a free operator service - ordering a car for a shop tour to Antalya or Kemer, but this is only in expensive shopping centers, ours friends went, everything is very beautiful, a huge choice, but very expensive, even if you bargain, if you just see the city, you will have to take a paid tour. We went to Demre-Mira-Kekovo, we liked it, especially on the islands in the reserve, where the sunken city , there the water is generally turquoise in color, we also went on ATVs, there is no extreme sports, but you can see nature and ride, friends went to Pamukkale, they said that it was very impressive, although it was a very long ride - 4 hours one way. If you want to buy souvenirs, that's it there are a lot of markets near the hotel, you have to bargain with everyone, because. sometimes they break prices, but in general we have all this on the market, so it was not possible to bring exotics, except for oriental sweets and exotic pepino fruit, which tastes something like a melon. Those who took excursions on the street, which were cheaper, lost a lot of time, because there was less time to view and if the tour is long, then there was no food and in which case, the insurance will not work.
P. S.

The most wonderful impressions remained, the only thing that is bad, we rested only 6 days, during this time we didn’t manage to run around everything, so next time we’ll go for 2 weeks. I really want to come back to fix my tan!!!!!!!! ! !!!
Write, I'll be glad to answer!
