Good day to all! I want to tell you about the hotel in detail, about all the pros and cons, I will try to evaluate everything objectively. We were at the hotel in June-July 2012 on the Ultra-all-inclusive system. In Turkey for the second time, last year in 2011 we were in Alanya at the Water Planet Deluxe Hotel & Aquapark 5 *, so there is something to compare with!
So, everything is in order.
TERRITORY
The hotel is located in the village of Goynuk, which is part of Kemer. The hotel area is very large and green, so beautiful that people from neighboring hotels came to us to take pictures! Very clean, the staff constantly monitors the cleanliness, the paths are washed several times a day. On the territory of one large pool and one small children's. The hotel is quite old, all consists of two-story bungalows, the main building, it seems, is not. But these bungalows look outdated, the architectural design is similar to ours in Soviet times, that is, there is practically no such design - some kind of boxes.
Someone here said that this is a Soviet pioneer camp - that's really what it looks like. But, beautiful greenery saves the appearance of the hotel. There is a small market near the hotel, the choice is small, and we didn’t want to go far to the big market, so our shopping didn’t turn out very well.
ACCOMMODATION
Do not believe any of those who write here that, whenever they arrived, they always settled without money and immediately! LIES! I read a lot of similar reviews before the trip and believed. In fact, the picture is this. We arrived from the airport at about 9 am and we were immediately told that they had a settlement from 12 to 14. We began to wait. Of course, we were wearing bracelets and we were able to have breakfast (and then lunch) in the restaurant. I had to wait in stuffiness, it was very hot, as such there is no air-conditioned room and there is no lobby bar in the hotel, the reception is like under a canopy, there are 2 tables and 6 chairs, fans drive hot air - at a temperature of 40 degrees in the shade is not very comfortable.
While we were waiting, we watched the receptionists receive the arriving tourists. Germans, Belgians are settled immediately and without delay, they do not sit in the heat and do not wait. We also saw how those who submit a passport with a green bill peeking out of it are immediately accommodated. We decided that almost $ 3.000 for 10 days paid for the rest is too much to give for something else! For 5 hours of waiting, we swore, and persuaded, and simply “hypnotized” the hotel workers, standing at the counter and corning their eyes - nothing helped. And finally, at 14.00, when our nerves were already on edge, we were given the keys to the room!
Their photographers are really professionals, there is nothing to add. We took about a hundred photos of our family: both together and separately against different backgrounds of local beauties. We liked most of the photos. And then they say: we will print 1 photo for free, the rest - 5 euros per photo and do not give the original in electronic form.
What the hell do we need their printed pictures of? We would like to get the files! In general, after bargaining, we agreed on $50 for 5 printed photos + a CD with ALL originals. Expensive, of course, but what to do ...
NUTRITION
The food was not bad, there were many dishes, meat: chicken, turkey, lamb. There were very tasty lamb cutlets. They often gave fish. And on the last day at lunch it was a fish day, everything was delicious, in the restaurant hall there were 3 huge carcasses of tuna a meter and a half long, the cook cut off pieces from them and fried them on a grill. Lots of fruits: watermelons, melons, peaches, nectarines, cherries, apricots, plums, cherry plums, apples, oranges, lemons, grapefruits. Desserts are just amazing! The disadvantage of food was that it was rather monotonous. I have something to compare, it happens and more diverse. Events such as a fish day were rare, but we were never hungry, a large number of dishes saved us.
There is also a bar in the restaurant, but only wine is poured from alcohol, and I'm used to drinking something stronger for lunch, such as raki : ) The pool bar is excellent, the bartenders work quickly, people do not accumulate. Imported alcohol is really poured, here without cheating. But the bar on the beach leaves much to be desired - there is only cola-fanta-sprite, water and local Efes beer. Where is the alcohol? I love to drink cocktails on the beach!
We had 4 free dinners in a la carte restaurants, we tried Turkish, Italian, fish and grilled cuisine. Everywhere is delicious. An amateur, of course, but I liked Turkish cuisine and grill the most. To be honest, I didn’t notice a big difference in the menu of these cuisines, and here and there grilled meat, and here and there in Turkish and very tasty! ! ! : )
BEACH AND SEA
The beach - sand and pebbles - is very large, spacious and clean, a lot of sunbeds and stationary umbrellas. There are pebbles in the sea at the edge, and further - a continuous natural underwater slab.
Of course, it is very uneven and a bit slippery, so the beach has 2 piers from which you can go into the water by stairs immediately to the depth, as well as 3 paths made of bags laid out under water filled with sand and small pebbles, it is very easy to go along them.
And finally, one of the main drawbacks of the hotel, in my opinion: despite the huge beach with a lot of sunbeds, there are never free places under umbrellas! There are towels on each sunbed. People get up at 6-7 in the morning to take a seat! It is not right! There is an experience of other hotels where it is forbidden to take places, otherwise they take towels and you have to pay a fine of 20-30 dollars per towel. I complained about this to the administration, and, apparently, not only me, because measures were taken: new sunbeds were added. But this did not change anything - there were new towels on the new sunbeds.
SERVICE
Tipping was not left in the room, I think that we paid too much money to do this. In addition, on the day of buying the tour, the price for it suddenly increased sharply for no reason at all, which made us very angry, what kind of tip is there? ! ! Cleaned in the room more or less normally, swans, of course, without a tip, we were not twisted on the beds. True, shampoo and soap were not left every day, but we had enough, and shower gel was brought only on the first day, they say, wash with soap. Everything in the room worked, I did not have to ask for something to be repaired. Free Wi-Fi worked on the territory of the hotel within a radius of 50 meters from the reception, we talked on Skype with my parents sitting on the street on a bench, we didn’t spend money on calls and SMS.
ANIMATION
Animation in Majesty is on top! The child was just happy! In the middle of the day they held all sorts of competitions, games, mini-disco in the evening. Starting from 11 am, some permanent contests for adults were held by the pool.
In the evening we didn't miss a single performance. I especially remember the Samba show: they invited a Brazilian dance group, black people are all like that : ), and they danced on the stage of the amphitheater in carnival costumes just gorgeous. And then there was a beach party, where you could dance together with these Brazilians right on the beach.
TOURS
We took only one excursion - in this hotel they are expensive - in Pamukkale. We traveled in a luxurious premium-class bus with air conditioning, there were a lot of seats in it - if you want to sit down, if you want to lie down, if you want to walk a horse : ) But the tour itself ...we expected more. We came across a guide named Daud - nothing at all, strange jokes, only he laughs at them, he ran everywhere like crazy, they didn’t have time to see anything, take a picture, or film anything. In Pamukkale itself, there are already few places allowed, the police are standing. The Turks believe that crowds of tourists destroy all these salt beauties.
There is a large museum on the territory - no one took us there. In general, we liked Demre-Mira-Kekova more last year.
In general, the vacation was a success, the Majesty Club hotel is very good, everything is great, except for two problems (I repeat): 1) accommodation with a long wait and with a strange attitude towards Russian speakers, and 2) always busy sunbeds. It's up to you to decide whether to go here or not to go, but overall I recommend it!
So, everything is in order.
