I didn't write everything last time. Partially duplicate. We were in Turkey for the first time. Before that, we preferred Egypt. We went to Turkey for comparison. The hotel was chosen long and hard. But then I came to the Alta travel agency and they offered me the Zena hotel in Kemer. I agreed because of the beautiful area more than because of the hotel itself. Then, just before the trip, they called me back from the travel agency and said that the owner was changing in Zena. I understand that this is some kind of unfavorable event for the tourist. I was offered to replace the hotel with Zen Phaselis Princess, this is also in Kemer, but a little further, the village of Tekirova. I looked at the reviews. Here, as usual, 50 X 50. She spat and unconditionally agreed. The only thing that bothered me before the trip was the operator - Anex tour. According to the reviews, I realized that they have a lot of "punctures" with tourists. Whom they will forget to put on the list for departure, whom they do not want to check into the hotel.
Previously, we dealt only with the Tez tour, but he sells hotels in Kemer at a high price. Sorry Tez tour, we decided to cheat on you. The flight was scheduled for 6 am. At first we were delighted, we thought we won the whole day, but it turned out the other way around. Check-in at the airport at 4 am, and getting to the airport was far away. So, having arrived at the hotel, we actually overslept this won day. But that's later. Arrived in Antalya. Heat. We were met (Thank God we were on the lists). The 50-minute drive to the hotel from the airport took 2.5 hours, as there were plenty of people in different hotels. We arrived at the hotel around 11, no one wanted to check us in until 14.00. We were not very upset, although it was HEAT, and we were after a night flight, and even in jeans and sneakers ... There was nowhere to change, and everything was in packed suitcases. At 14:00 we were seated. Quadruple room, normal. Standard. The room has one double bed and two single beds.
We did not get a family two-room suite. They must be ordered in advance. The room is about 18-20 meters. Everything is standard. Cleaned up every day. We somehow saw a cockroach on the wall, killed it, but did not sweep it away. We wanted to test the quality of cleaning. He is so there on the wall and withered. The corpses of mosquitoes crushed by previous guests on the tiles in the bathroom also remained mute witnesses of the indifference to cleaning. True, the cleaners did not forget to decorate the beds with flowers. I was also annoyed by the poorly washed dishes, which were quite often in the restaurant. But we just debugged it aside and took a clean one. Another drawback is the loud disco music at night. Even the metal-plastic windows did not dampen it. The kids were asleep, but I couldn't. One night our drunken men were bawling songs. Then their wives were not allowed into the room and in our two-story building, where all the rooms are in the same corridor, we listened to the series "The Rich Also Cry. "

But this is not a defect of the hotel, but of the domestic mentality. These are all shortcomings. Now about the good. Sea miracle. Pure. Fish every morning are waiting for vacationers with buns for feeding. The entrance to the water is not very good. Swim shoes saved me. It is easier to walk on pebbles in them. You can go down into the water from the pier. It's 10-15 meters to the shore. The feed is standard. I don't want to look at her after a week. You only remember about its abundance at home when you peel potatoes. There are a lot of fruits, but if something ends, the waiters are in no hurry to carry a new portion. Animation is also standard - at 10-15 exercises (like fitness yoga), then - butch, at 11-15 - water gymnastics. At 12 with a penny, there is still some kind of game. The animation for kids is good. I was really outraged once that she put the air conditioner at +16 degrees. I tell them, it’s cool for children, they tell me: yes, yes, of course, I came an hour later, as it was +16, and it remains.
It is also unpleasant that they have paid entertainment, such as painting a T-shirt with paints for 20 USD. e. Get sick. Evening children's disco. All the men gather there to look at one of the animators (she twists her booty so much ... The men salivate directly) From 10-30 to 12-00 they turn on water slides, then another 2 hours a second time. It is inconvenient that from 17 to 19 there is nowhere to eat, you can only drink. It’s bad that, for example, ice cream can only be taken from 15-30 to 16-00, having stood in a solid queue. But all this is trifles. The hotel is normal. They didn't go hungry. Warm sea. The pools are clean. And there are flaws everywhere. My husband went rafting with his daughter. The tour was bought not at the hotel, but at the travel agency at the entrance to the hotel territory - NAU TOUR (it seems). Barker there - Oleg - a cunning Turk. Everywhere they write - there is insurance, I asked to show me insurance in order to familiarize myself with the conditions of insurance, and he incurred some kind of nonsense, then in the end he said that he would be there tomorrow.
The next day, another Turk gave us some scribble in Turkish  . We took a tour there to a Turkish bath-hammam, because in our hotel (as we then considered) it is more expensive. We paid $20 and off we went. They took us to a nearby hotel. There, a pretty Asian woman offered to pay us another 30 dollars to get a coffee scrub, rubbing with some kind of oil and, in addition, a facial mask as a gift. I said that we will limit ourselves to standard procedures, with the money already paid. She ran after us for a long time, as a result - she got it and we did all her additional procedures for $ 15. It turned out for 35 at. e from the nose, and in our hotel for 40. We saved a little. We bought a tour to the Dideman water park from Anex Tour, we wanted to relax with the whole family. This water park in Antalya. Again, while we drove through all the hotels, everyone was collected, the road stretched for 3 hours. The water park itself did not impress.
Their vaunted all-inclusive has been reduced to two coupons - one for ice cream, the other for a sandwich or pizza, which can be obtained from 12 to 14 hours. Locally produced drinks in any quantity. There is nothing for a 6 year old child to do there. The water park is designed for teenagers from the age of 12. The whole day there, adults and small children are bored. Anex tour also provides free shopping trips to certain stores. We went to Antalya for leather and textiles. Well, what can I say ... They brought us to a store specializing in the sale of fur and leather products. The prices are astronomical. We saw the same product later in ordinary shops not far from the hotel. We were able to buy a jacket for my husband in this store only from the sales department and only after I freaked out and said that we were stingy perfectly in another store. True, we must pay tribute, the jacket is of high quality. After that, we were taken to a textile store. The store is poor, there is not much choice.

Having bought a daughter's dress there for 120 USD. That is, we waited another hour for the car to the hotel. If there are no small children, shopping should be done without the participation of the hotel, it is better to rent a car ($ 50 per day) and drive on your own. We, unfortunately, did not take a driver's license, so we were deprived of such an opportunity. There are few stores in Tekirov itself, in my opinion - up to a hundred. They sell mainly leather, furs, silver, textiles and souvenirs. When you exit the hotel immediately to the left and it seems the first lane to the right, there is a store "Olga Souvenir". A Russian woman Olga trades there. She is from Yaroslavl. Very friendly and not overbearing. She told us what kind of tea or olive oil to take. She gave us a number of valuable recommendations. She communicates with ours like that with everyone. Good man. Our.
On Saturdays, a crossing bazaar arrives in Tekirova (a little further than the monument and to the left), everything is the same there, but much cheaper (there was no leather and fur).
Coffee in cans for 10 USD. e for a large jar (everywhere where we have seen it from 12 and above). The hotel also has its own bazaar once a week, but there is nothing special to take there. Good luck to all.
