We rested together from May 23 to June 2.2010.
Overall rating: Five-star economy class for a relaxing family holiday with children.
The cost from Moscow for two for 10 nights is $ 2000 (the ratio of quality and price is average).

The Corinthia Club Hotel Tekirova 5 * is located in the Mediterranean region, which, due to its archaeological and natural beauties, has received the name "Turkish Riviera". The hotel is located on the seashore, in the village of Tekirova, in the resort area of ​ ​ Kemer. This is a small picturesque town surrounded by the Taurus mountain range, pine forests and orange groves. From the hotel you can reach: Antalya Airport 70 km (by bus 60 minutes), Kemer - 18 km (by bus 15 minutes), Tekirova center - 2 km (walking 15 minutes). Corinthia is an economy family beach hotel offering ultra all inclusive service. It was built in 1995 and renovated and renovated in 2008.

On the territory of the hotel there are zones of increased comfort under the brand name "Euphoria" - separate rooms, villas, a restaurant, a beach. It looks like an expensive stall inside a hypermarket.

Territory rating: 5 (solid five).
Territory area 120.000 sq. meters and all of it is buried in the greenery of pines, palm trees, orange, tangerine, lemon, banana trees. A lot of flowering plants and shrubs, stunning and most beneficial air filled with the smells of flora, sea and mountains. The territory of the hotel is surrounded from the north by the Tauride Mountains with stunning mountain landscapes.

Room rating: 3 (and this is a stretch) - the weakest point of the hotel.
The hotel provides standard rooms in the main five-story building and rooms in two-story villas located in the garden and park area of ​ ​ the hotel.
All rooms have beds (single or double), toilet/shower, balcony or terrace, TV, telephone, free safes and mini-bar (filled once upon check-in - then carry drinks from the bar without any problems). All rooms (with the exception of "Euphoria" - they are 2 times more expensive) are frankly "shuffled" and need to be updated, and some rooms in the villas are so affected by mold and fungus that it's just a tuberculosis patient's dream. We had to pay extra $ 20 per day and move to the main building on the fourth floor (there is no dampness, the views are beautiful, but dirty spots are everywhere - like everywhere else). Some people argue: "Well, let it be simple - you can't sit in the room for days" - but after what you see, it's a pity for the money spent on vacation, when you move in, the mood is spoiled. WI-FI internet worked in some rooms, and I took it everywhere in the bar, restaurant and reception - the quality and speed are decent (Skype without problems).

FOOD RATING: 4 - no black caviar served but otherwise standard Turkish variety. There was meat (especially a lot for dinner) - barbecue, shawarma, boiled, fried, fish and other dishes. Of the fruits were watermelons, melons, apples, apricots, nuts. Huge selection of sweets. Variety of Italian pasta. Well, a lot of vegetables, olives, herbs, salads, soups. Ice cream. Jupe type juices. Freshly squeezed - $ 1.

MAIN RESTAURANT: PADOLIA - designed for 1000 people. Buffet. Breakfast from 7:00-10:00, Late breakfast: from 10:00-11:00, Lunch: from 12:30-14:30, ice cream during lunch (from 13:00-15:00)
Dinner: from 19:00-21:30, Late dinner: from 00:00-03:00.

ALA CARTE RESTAURANTS: (booked at 9-00 at the reception, near the reception for a day), open from 19:00-22:00, everything is in the fresh air - we liked it everywhere! TROCADERO (Italian restaurant) and FUEGO (Mexican cuisine) - you can visit 1 time for free. SOFRA (fish restaurant) and DRAKON (Chinese cuisine) - the cost of booking is $10 per person.
All restaurants have a standard menu of free dishes, any other services outside of this menu are chargeable.

All bars have a standard menu of free services, any other services outside of this menu are paid.
(some imported alcoholic drinks are free of charge: rake, vodka, gin, brandy, liquor, vermouth, whiskey).

SERVICE EVALUATION: 4 (solid four) - all diligently, but without fanaticism.
The vast majority of the staff speaks Russian well.
Waiters, bartenders, cleaners, receptionists treat tourists well. Service in the restaurant is not prompt. I confirm what they wrote about the dishes, I saw a tray of unwashed cups, but the plates were dirty mainly due to the negligence of the vacationers themselves. We had to go for the forks ourselves, wondering for a long time where to find them. There are a lot of people at the end of May, I can’t imagine what’s going on there during the season.


ASSESSMENT OF THE BEACH: 4 (moreover, the water is 5 balls, and the entrance to the sea is 3).
The beach of the hotel has a blue flag (special quality standard), guarantees vacationers that access to the beach is free, the water is clean and tested weekly, garbage is collected and the sand is cleaned. The beach has a surveillance and rescue service.
There are always enough sunbeds on the beach - but if you want to be closer to the bar, then take the best ones before breakfast until 7-00. At the main pool until lunchtime, all the sunbeds are occupied.
But the entrance to the sea is LARGE PEBLES (it’s hard to enter without shoes), after two meters there is a concrete slab, after four meters it’s already deep for an adult.

SPORT SCORE: 5 (everything is there, but no one really did it : ) )
Sports hobbies: gym, beach volleyball court, tennis - all for free.

ANIMATION RATING: 4 (not bad for adults and just SUPER for children).
The animation is unobtrusive, but whoever had the desire, always did something (playing in the pool, aqua aerobics, shooting from a rifle, some national dances in the amphitheater in the evening, vulgar but cool contests).
A separate feature of the hotel is animation for children: there is a children's playground (a swimming pool, two small slides, a basketball hoop and an inflatable trampoline, tables for drawing and modeling). Every evening there was a children's disco, the children were just delighted.
Three water slides in the pool with slides will delight adults and children.
EVALUATION TO THE TOUR OPERATOR (PEGAS): - (this means that I did not pick up the estimates).
I will try with difficulty to find decent words for these lovely KIDALS.
The biggest problem is that the hotel is the base for PEGASA (90% of vacationers take tours in this office).
The flight from Moscow to Antalya was delayed by 12 hours, from Antalya - by 2 hours, and the departure from the hotel was at 2 am with a 30-minute stop in a store with special equipment. prices.

The same situation with excursions (went to Tekirova - you can buy exactly 2 times cheaper, but did not dare, but in vain) - the useful time of a two-day excursion in POMUKAL is 5 hours, everything else is the road and shopping centers imposed on you.
They settled in the room with mold, zero help from the representatives of PEGASA - pay extra and then everything is super.
I personally don't go to them anymore.

RECOMMENDATIONS
If you are still a little lucky with a flight and a room, then you will get a good rest for relatively little money for a 5-star hotel.
I especially recommend the hotel to couples with children and those who are used to relaxing quietly without noise and luxury.
There are few young people and drunken companies there - they immediately catch the eye.
My wife and I generally enjoyed it.
