Seal rest for lovers of independent travel.

I must say right away that we love to travel ourselves. No guides, no clearly marked routes, no herd tours. But for ourselves we realized that right now we need a rest in All Inclusive. To lie in the sun and not run anywhere and not rush.

This hotel was chosen based on reviews and did not lose! I love places where the mountains meet the sea. This area is just that. I love clean and warm (! ) sea. The sea in Kemer was just like that! I love hotels where people stay not only from one country, but where different languages ​ ​ are heard and there is an opportunity to feel that you are still in another country. I love clean rooms with modern design. And here we got what we expected.

So, about everything in more detail.

Beach: own, wide! For us it was important. There were enough sun loungers for everyone. Even though some managed to take places near the pool and near the sea.

Straw umbrellas were very handy. Sunset in the sea with pebbles. At first I was surprised that reviews often say that special swimming shoes are a must have. It was comfortable to go to sea. This is not Crimea for you with huge boulders on which you can break your legs. But when I tried to go into the sea in special slippers, then I could not do without them. So I highly recommend bringing swimming shoes. The water is clear, but sometimes garbage floated up, which was removed, but not always immediately. And, most importantly, the sea is warm. 27 degrees. You can swim as much as you want

Territory: sooo green and well-groomed. It is clear that they put a lot of time and effort into it. It's nice to walk along the paths and sit on the lawns. No one chases you and says that you can’t walk on the lawns. Play as much as you want!

Staff; a great! Everyone is very friendly, they do their job perfectly and almost imperceptibly. The waiters in the restaurant pick up the dishes on time.
When we were in Egypt, we constantly looked for a catch in words and tried to understand what they want to deceive us about. There wasn't even a hint of that! All your problems are solved, and there people sincerely want to help. It felt like you were a welcome guest there. By the way, there are no usual blankets in the rooms. There is some sort of cover. I felt strange and not at all comfortable. We asked for more bedspreads, they brought us a few minutes later. The staff speaks Russian. It was even a little embarrassing. We do not like to speak Russian in a foreign country. We always speak English. And here you practically do not leave a chance)) Often Turkish men (in particular, hotel staff) greet men by the hand. If you are not pleased with this from an outsider, you will have to put up with it or somehow resolve this issue. There people are all open and for them it is in the order of things.

Restaurant and Food: Found this point as a weak point. Food tasteless and not varied.

In the middle of the vacation, I even lost faith that I could eat deliciously. Toward the end, I almost got used to it and even ate something)) there they began to cook chicken on the coals, and life shone with new colors. At worst, stretch on chicken and vegetables. Don't expect complicated dishes. After talking with the hotel employee, I found out that this is not the problem of this particular hotel. This is traditional Turkish cuisine: fatty, overcooked, overdried, peppered. And in salads they use some kind of dairy dressing like yogurt with sour cream. Olivier or pasta with such a dressing is a dubious pleasure.

Guests: 80-85 percent are Ukrainians. There were also Turks, Moldavians, Kazakhs, Poles. There are very few Russians. We can say that it was not at all. Most of the guests are couples with children. Everyone behaved decently, there were no conflicts. Excluding a few people who disappeared as suddenly as they appeared.

Alcohol: we do not drink, I will not say.
Once tried to take whiskey with cola. She took half a sip. The rubbish is rare. If necessary, take it with you.

Entertainment: animation by the pool. But she doesn't push at all. Spent one day at the pool, it was quite fun. Only under the trees it is terribly hot. The wind is not there. And the earth soars after watering. I could not stand it and in the evening went to the sea. There are performances in the evenings. Under booze look quite funny. But the Miss Lucida pageant disgusted us, we left after the second pageant. The purest mockery of girls. Dear administration, kill your animator! The limits of decency must always be respected.
The Turkish guy Orhan walks along the beach and offers yacht trips, parachuting, water skiing, etc. He always says loudly: “Water sports. Parachute". Very nice and open person. He speaks excellent Russian. I recommend using his services.
I rode a yacht that rushes through the waves at a speed of 120 km / h, and we also flew on a parachute. By the way, we were not taken for a ride when the weather did not guarantee our safety. Rescheduled for the next day and everything turned out more than well. Since we bought several services, they also gave us a discount, which is also nice.


Summary: the hotel itself, the rooms, the territory, the sea, the staff are at their best. Everything is very nice and cozy, good atmosphere. We lived in two rooms. We paid for Sea side, but settled us in land view. They promised to move us the next day, but we never came. Three days later, the manager himself asked us why we didn’t come and didn’t give him the opportunity to fulfill his promise))) For me, the ideal room is a spacious room with a large balcony and a frontal sea view. Apparently, there are no such numbers at all. And in general such rooms that would suit me completely. BUT!
We looked at 4 rooms in different parts of the hotel and I will say that each is good in its own way and each has its drawbacks. But if you don’t bother too much, then any number will be good. I would definitely come to this hotel again. This vacation was really great. We got everything we wanted. And this is a great merit of the people who work in this hotel.

Pros: landscape, rooms, territory, beach, sea, staff, price, delicious desserts
Cons: limited internet, no internet in the rooms, no toilet on the beach (!! ! ), monotonous food, the same music in the restaurant, which starts to drive you crazy on the first day (the administrator knows about the problem. She said they would decide at the meeting), paid safe. Fruit is brought to the beach only once a day, and that was already in the last days of our stay.
