Яркие воспоминания Vivid memories

Hello! Rested in this hotel with the whole family from 06/13/11 to 06/23/11. Arrived around lunch time and were seated immediately. The first impressions when we got off the bus were not very bright: some kind of deserted square in front of the reception without the promised orange paradise. At the reception, after filling out the card (fill in the name and surname of who will live in the room), we went to the room. And here the picture opened up: green manicured lawns, trees with ripening small green oranges, flowers everywhere. In general, the area of ​ ​ the hotel behind the reception is all green - at least in comparison with the hotels that we saw. Then we went to lunch. Our family has no complaints about food: chicken, fish, rice, boiled potatoes, french fries, greens and vegetables are always in abundance. They give beef, probably, every other day. There is never a feeling of hunger: as soon as breakfast, lunch, or dinner ends, they immediately begin to feed all sorts of snacks in the bar near the pool (hot dogs that you make yourself from everything that goes along with it, Turkish snacks, all sorts of pastry cookies with a coffee break, by the way, cookies are very tasty ) After lunch, snacks in the form of hot dogs are also brought to the beach. If this does not suit you, you can safely take food from the dining room with you to the beach during breakfast, lunch, or dinner (or it is not prohibited, as, for example, in other hotels they could even take away a bitten apple from a child when leaving the dining room). But, we were on the beach for 4 hours and did not feel like eating, just for insurance, children can take something for a snack. If someone remained hungry, then I wonder what then they eat at home and why didn’t they take 5 stars? For a 4 stars, quite decent food with the optimal amount of spices. In another hotel, we couldn’t even eat soups due to the amount of pepper, but here the red soup is somewhat reminiscent of even our borscht, and the white one is noodles. In short, soups are a must try.
Now about the beach: on the first day we went after lunch at 13.15 - and there are plenty of free sunbeds and seats on the bus. I won’t say that if you drive in the morning, that there are problems, it’s just that in different rows one sunbed can be free, they can be combined somewhere on the side and have fun. In short, if it was crowded on the bus or you had to indulge sunbeds, then all the negativity disappears somewhere when you touch the warm water of the sea. The sea is just super, the sun is a miracle of miracles and the beach seems like heaven on earth. The water is very clean and salty and holds very well on the surface. On the beach there is a bar with beer, cola, sprite, fanta and diluted upi and cooler.
Upon arrival at the hotel, they will give a leaflet with the bus schedule to the beach, I advise you to always have a leaflet and a watch with you in order to get your bearings. About 5 days after our arrival, they gave us a big bus (compared to the old one) with a serious driver: always punctual. but it’s better to play it safe and be at the stop five minutes before departure: we were late once, we had to cut for 1 hour to the hotel. In principle, it’s normal, you can walk, it’s just not comfortable with things and children in your arms. By the way, once when we were driving from the beach to the hotel, when you go to the highway, a huge turtle was crawling along the pedestrian, so take a look, maybe you will be lucky. Even before going down to the beach, where mats are laid, lavrushka grows. And one more thing: when we stopped by, then take a towel in the Turkish bath for the beach. (they took it in the morning, changed it to a clean one in the evening, no problem)

Now about the room: everything is new, snow-white, cleaning is daily, but if you don’t insist, the cleaners will not be offended by you. Those. you rest, knock on your door to get out, you refuse, they happily leave. By the way, the air conditioner only works when the balcony door is closed. Check everything upon arrival. There is a minibar (small refrigerator), upon arrival 2 bottles of small water, and then during the rest you can store fruit if you took more than a kilogram on the market.
Now about shopping: on Friday, market day in the village, exit the hotel to the main road and to the left, reach the highway, to the sign "GOUNYK" behind it this village begins and in that direction through the traffic lights straight ahead until you see a cluster on the right side people - this is the market. Be sure to buy large black berries in such transparent boxes that look like blackberries (maybe this is a blackberry, I don’t know), very sweet and juicy. Haggle in the market, how much you convince to give, for as much you will take. Sometimes the price drops by 2-3 times. It even comes to this: they say how much will you take? Let's say travel bags on wheels, the original price is 60-55 dollars, you can pick up for 30-25. how to persuade. On Friday, there is also a Turkish night at the hotel. You can still go to the bazaar in Kemer: on Monday - food, on Tuesday - test. In general, you should definitely go to Kemer: a very beautiful square with fountains and in general there is something to see. Minibuses for $ 2 go from 7 am to 23.00 it seems. There is also a grocery store MIGROS (written in capital letters, you will see) and SENT (near the gendarmerie in the bushes). This is like our Pyaterochka or Magnet grocery chains. There is a shop with leather and fur products at the hotels, you can sign up with Elvira (she works there) and you will be taken and brought back to the store with a large selection in Kemer. This does not obligate you to anything. Elvira will come to you on the beach and tell you everything.
In the evening, you can walk around the local shops.
As for excursions: you can take both from the guide and from Casimir (Yunaya's travel agency) it's up to you. We took a Turkish bath from Casimir, everything suited us. The 2 of us were taken by a minibus to Kemer, and there are no complaints about the bathhouse itself. Be sure to go to the bathhouse, it is also available at hotels. You just have to get out before you get burned. Then it will hurt. Many went fishing with Kazimir, they said that they liked it very much.

Now about the animation: everything goes until 23.00, the first 5 days of our arrival there was a girl who conducted aqua aerobics, step aerobics. Then she disappeared. During the day, they play games on the water: 2 teams play water football in my understanding, they also play darts. In the evening from 21.00 to 21.30 children's dicotheque. Somewhere from 22.00 to 23.00 contests "the sexiest woman", "the sexiest man", "the sexiest couple", Fair-show, Turkish night, etc. are held.
The hotel has a lot of foreigners (Germans, Americans, Turks) and a lot of arrivals. In short, the hotel is not empty.
Let's sum it up: as soon as I remember the sea, the sun and the sand, I'm ready to forget all the little things and squeak with delight that this hotel is the best. With a little envy, I think of those who have yet to learn everything. Have a nice holiday everyone. I'm sure you'll like it. If you have any questions please ask and I will try to answer.
