Good day, ladies and gentlemen!: )
I want to say right away that we were in Turkey for the first time, so the opinion expressed by me may be somewhat subjective due to the fact that there was nothing to compare with before... however...
Hotel, region, etc. I chose it as a good car: about 2 months, in connection with which I was even scolded by the chief at work because of devouring Internet traffic... The Internet was cut off for a fic, but I managed to choose something...
I stopped my eyes on the region of the district of Kemer. Why is it so, to write for a long time and whoever wants, I can tell in a private conversation. So close to the body. . .
Our victim was a hotel with a beautiful name Mirada del Mar.
We chose an evening flight there and back accordingly. The advantages of a morning flight from Moscow are not yet known to me... If there are any, please tell me.

We flew with Transaero. The flight was excellent, though we stood on the runway for about 40 minutes before departure... it was raining.
They fed me badly. And they didn’t even put a chocolate bar back, but instead they pushed in a second rubber bun, goats!
The first shock, of course, was the heat of Antalya, which we felt when leaving the Airport. We literally had nothing to breathe! Subsequently, by the way, for some reason, it is quite easy to adapt to such air at 40 degrees . .
The first pleasant surprise was the meeting with the host Odeon tours. We were put on a class bus, probably a luxury one. Probably, because I haven’t had a chance to ride in such ones yet... Seats from the strength of 15, leather white chairs, and full-size chairs... in general, we arrived like Egyptian sheikhs . . : )
We arrived at the Mirada del Mar by 23:00 local time.
When they started to settle in, even though we were alone at the reception, we were not particularly listening, sent to the Garden shale, which is in the very ass . . well, we did not despair, looked around in the room, left our things and went to eat. : ) As it turned out, for like us, a late dinner is provided here . . Well, apparently there are a lot of them in some hotels! : )

After dinner, going around the hotel, we realized that it is better to live in the main building and higher (well, that's what they wrote in the forums). After 12 at night we again went to the reception. At my request to change the number, the girl began to shit and say that we had already moved in, etc. , that the number could only be changed in the morning. Then I persuaded her to call the general manager. The general manager - a Turk, was also some kind of lukewarm... well, I had to use a proven method, the Turkish chief manager to shove bucks . . 20 bucks and immediately offered 2 rooms in the main building to choose from... bastards, by the way, they didn’t even give me a sea view . The first room was on the 2nd floor, above the bar. . . beeee rare, the clinking of dishes, some kind of balcony-like ledge from the bottom of the balcony of the room. . . the roof is on top, you can’t even see the sky. . . the only thing that turned out to be better was the room that was slightly larger and… well, someone like, bathroom only with a shower… ie. water flows under your feet and goes to the floor : ). The second room turned out to be on the 6th floor with a view of the mountains... the side, respectively, is opposite from the sea . . We decided to stay in it. Oh, yes, another little moment... I read reviews, they wrote that when you pull out a card from the cell in the room, the air conditioner and refrigerator stop working... In the garden shale it was like that... however, in the room of the main building in which we stayed to live, the condo worked even when we and the card were not in the room... was it like that for everyone? Or were we lucky by chance! ? : ) So we came to a room in which it was 27.5 degrees Celsius and got high! : ))
In general, the first day, as usual, was eaten by a flight, etc. The only negative of the evening departure IMHO is that when you arrive at the hotel you can’t see a damn thing and you can add up a full opinion only in the morning. As a result, it is difficult to assess whether you have been well instilled.
The first days we looked closely, studied what is in the hotel and how to use it all. The design of the building, by the way, is also intricate, although it looks like regular squares . .
On the first day, we met a Russian animator girl, as it turned out, she was one Russian out of 17 people who entertained us, all the rest were from Georgia. Just a few words about... although probably a few words can not tell about the animation.
In general, a very cool team. Constant competitions and games… in principle, all free time is scored very well. In parallel, sometimes 3 different competitions are held. At first, your eyes run wide and you don’t know what to go to play. There were both standard entertainments such as archery, boccia (in which, by the way, I won against everyone and received a diploma and a prize in the form of a bottle of champagne), etc. , there were also games that were different every day under the code names Pool games and coffee games. Loved the egg tossing contest. 20 people stand opposite each other, forming pairs. They are given an egg and they throw it to each other and try to catch : ). If the egg breaks, then a pair comes out. And every time after the throw, everyone takes a step back... in general, a funny sight... especially when people have already moved a decent distance from each other! : ))
In addition to competitions, there are as many as 4 aerobics for girls per day! In the morning in the pool, after dinner on the mats, after like a step, at 3 o'clock in the pool with pasta : ), these are such paralon things... even I tried it once, the load is not bad by the way, if not free!; )

Every evening there are naturally varied dance shows such as Moulin Rouge and Notre Dame de Paris…everything is very beautiful and colorful. Several entertainment shows such as the best couple of the hotel or the queen of the hotel, of course, also happened. The guys tried their best, I liked it, respect and respect! : )
After the evening performance in the amphitheater there was either live music near the beach bar or a disco on the pier. By the way, this is a very profitable and trump place of this hotel. The pier is large enough and comfortable. During the day it’s very cool to sunbathe on ottomans, and at night until 2 it’s very cool to dance to popular house hits... though they turned on local music at a certain time, and I personally, and quite a lot of Russians clearly didn’t like it and many fled... well, by that time everything was already as a rule, they were dancing. In general, a huge respect for the disco on the pier! Another point in favor of this hotel is that the beach is very well maintained and there are swings like gazebos. They are great to ride both at night and during the day, because. you will always be in the shade. In addition to the swings, there were also hammocks under palm trees. . . that's also a topic! By the way, we once walked along the beach towards Guynyuk and didn’t see a single beach like this . . Everywhere piers are simply not suitable for such things, like here. And for all that, there were nearby hotels such as: Ulusoy and Magic life hotels. (Now I looked at these hotels at prices for 13 nights and almost fell off my chair... ahem... more expensive for two, about 30 to 40 thousand! )
The trees and grounds are awesome too. There are many places, palm trees and large pine trees. the hotel is quite old, which saves very well from the heat! ! A lot of tennis courts, which simply didn’t even have enough time to play, slides 3 pieces . . mini-golf... there are also water sports on the territory. Parasailing is about 50 bucks per person, a banana and tablets the same amount somewhere . . You will be taught to surf for 250 bucks, I think, for 4 days, and after that you can ride for free for an hour every day. In general, I would say that the prices are not very Turkish-democratic . . : )
The food and service at the hotel are excellent! . . The Turks are of course annoying as usual and the staff behaves in much the same way… which of course you get used to over time, but nevertheless, our male population hardly likes it. .

The hotel is located at the very beginning of the village of Guynyuk... the territory is very cool. On the one hand, a construction site is really unfolding, and on the other, an empty territory... so the echoes of other hotels do not interfere at all, and it’s only 2 turns to Guynuk. You can go look at the Qween Elizabeth hotel for example (as one of the local drivers said, the hotel looks chic, but in the rest... ), and there is nothing more to do in this village IMHO... so, if you really want thrills, then Welcome !: ) For example, I liked Antalya. The old town of Kaleichi is very beautiful, boats are in the port... they sell interesting hand-made gizmos. But that's how we got out of it into the street that leads up from the port, so we felt like in our Cherkizon, almost grab my hands . . One friend first offered me a drink of vodka, then when he found out that I was Russian, he generally offered smoking . . In general, fun!: ) But the old city is really beautiful and worth a visit there... but probably only there!: )
We visited aqualand in the same Antalya. By the way, we got everywhere by minibuses, everything was without problems. The water park was great, though they paid 25 bucks for entry and 5.50 from our hotel... and tour companies offer it for 30... this is probably the only one of the excursions that is worth buying from tour companies. Slides are super, more details in a private conversation, if anyone is interested.
In addition to all this, we also went on ATVs and on an excursion to watch the sunken city. We bought everything in Ginza travel on the street of the city of Guynyuk and were not mistaken (on the Internet, by the way, this agency was advised somewhere), because tour operators really overpay a lot... ATVs cost 54 bucks for two, and Mira and Kekkova (this is a sunken city and church) in the region of 50-60 are also somewhere. The guides are excellent and interesting. All as promised. In general, we were not disappointed at all. And so, to judge and choose of course you. I can also tell you about the excursions in detail, if you are interested. Ask.
Oh yes, there was another moment that I forgot to mention. By the end of the trip, my ear ached a little and I decided to apply for insurance to ROSNO. At the same time and see how this kitchen works. And it works badly! In general, the conclusion is this: you need to ask tour operators when you buy a ticket so that the company that will insure has a contract with a hotel doctor. So that they could be treated directly at the hotel (although I still don’t know if this is real?! ). And so it turns out such a thing: you call for insurance, a guy arrives from Antalya (if you are resting in the Kemer region) in a car, collects people and takes them to Guynyuk (if it is not far from him). A paramedic sits in a room there and takes patients like you. The paramedic seems to me far from a professional. Moreover, the aunt is oblique and mumbles only in broken English. Looks superficial. She didn't even look at my throat. She got into her ear, said that there was some kind of crap, gave Turkish! some drops and all. Then this one drove me and told me what and how to drip, because nothing is even written in English on the drops! . . In short, I am a little shocked by such a “service”. People, don't get sick!

In general, Turkey is very impressive. The service is idiotic and intrusive. You get tired of it. Someone buys something and brings it from there… hmm… I found only a beautiful handmade plate in Antalya, in the old town and a bunch of alcohol in the duty free on departure! : )) There is nothing else to buy there!! ! Leather - if only you are very well versed, carpets - also if you really need it! : ) Buy the rest at our sales better! : ) It's just funny to look at this Cherkizovsky market everywhere!
In general, I think that going to Turkey 3-4 times to different points of the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea is enough. There is nothing special to watch. Sitting only in a hotel is the only way to eat… but that’s not for me at all! . . Of course, the country is not rich in culture… in culture in general! : ))
Visit the Alanya-Belek area on the sand, go to Marmaris to hang out... and that’s all in principle. We need to explore interesting places! : )
So, dear people, who travel to Turkey for the first time or for the n-th time and he likes it very much, I advise the Mirada del mar hotel very strongly. You won't regret it, really!
