Good day to all.

Rested with my wife in this hotel from 16.09. 2012 to 26.09. 2012 I chose and read a bunch of reviews for a long time, so I state my point of view strictly and objectively. If I had been confirmed by other hotels, of which there were 5 pieces (and everything was on the foot), I would not have gone here. But he spat out of anger and said OK, it will be as it will be, tired of choosing.
Experience: Thailand, Turkey, UAE, Egypt, Israel, etc. Age - 25-30 years old, Ukrainians, Kyiv.

TOUR OPERATOR: - We flew from Pegas Touristik - the tour operator was normal and met on time, there were no overlaps, everything was fine too, good comfortable buses. In this hotel, the representative was Anna, an absolutely adequate girl, you can always contact, but the fact that she imposed excursions and scared with terrible Turks and insurance is normal, such work.


HOTEL, ROOM: The hotel is located in the village of Chamyuva (or something like that) an hour's drive from the airport with stops in Kemer.
This is part of the hotel, which was one big one, it included Simena Hotel, Simena Villages, Simena Sun Club, then they were divided. The coolest last one is 1 line, all the services of the others can be used. Simena Hotel - line 2, the main building without bungalows, houses, etc. You can use the services of Simena Villages where the pool is round-the-clock. Simena Villages bungalows, houses - 3rd line across the roadway from Simena Hotel. I then realized why Simena Villages is cheaper - line 3, safe at the reception!!! ! ! ! very inconvenient and you have to go to Simena Hotel to eat.
Check-in went quickly (arrived on Sunday), filled out paperwork, put on bracelets and gave 2 cards from the room, and 2 cards for towels. Room 413 fourth floor, quite spacious, probably because the hotel was built a long time ago, the balcony overlooked the mountains, a good landscape honestly. At first I was upset, and then I realized that this is a huge plus - if the exit was on the territory of the hotel, we would go crazy from squeals and screams, and loud music near the pool.
The safe in the room is free, but it did not work upon check-in, I told the porter about this and he promised to call the manager who would set it up. We started to settle down, everything is in the room, there are towels, a bathroom in marble - I was surprised, but the infection is a curtain in the shower: -(, NO HAIR DRYER - I don’t care, but my wife is unpleasant, but it’s not particularly upset, there are enough hangers 7-10. TV is ordinary, 4-5 Russian channels, the bed, as promised, was one large, not two moved, there is a door to the neighbors, but the soundproofing is not bad, the rooms are all non-smoking - a fine of $ 250. But what upset me so much is the air conditioner - it works on time, by the day of departure I didn’t understand the schedule, it automatically turns off when the balcony is opened, but, thank God, there was no particular heat during this period, the weather was excellent in the afternoon 30-35, in the evening 25-28, super. no one came to fix the safe. Fortunately, I speak English and dial the reception and explain the situation in English.

In less than 3 minutes, the manager came and set everything up, showed it, and fixed it, honestly earning his dollar. So once again I am convinced (I have visited more than one country, believe me) you speak English - the attitude is changing, so learn the languages ​ ​ of the people. The minibar does not cool, just turned off, fanta, pepsi, plain water, resumed, cleaning is normal. The hotel itself is quite big, it's not bad. Vacationers: Russians - the majority, Ukrainians, Kazakhs, there are Germans, a little Dutch, Turks, many families with children.

SEA, POOL: Swimming pool - good big, there is a bar with snacks and drinks, with two slides - open on schedule. But the music is very loud. The sea, 350-400 m to go to it. The beach itself is quite narrow, it is not always possible to find a place. There is a bar with snacks and drinks, you can smoke, the sea is good, clean, salty. Umbrellas, deck chairs, mattresses - free of charge.

WI-FI: free, as for such a hotel it’s not bad, everywhere on the 1st floor (restaurant, etc. )
) and near the pool, checked more than once.

FOOD, FOOD, DRINKS, BARS: You can’t call anything restaurants there queues for barbecues, etc. A LOT of people, and I understood the pattern - the cheaper the hotel, the rude people, pushing, rude, women are not let through, as if if IT will not eat the 6th chicken leg in a row, and will not drink the 9th beer - a tragedy will happen and the Earth will spin in the other direction. The food is more or less, slightly monotonous, nothing surprised and nothing upset. There are few empty places - a lot of people! You take drinks everywhere yourself (of course, if you don’t give dollars to bartenders / waiters, and then they don’t have enough time for you), drinks are not very good, you can drink rum and whiskey - and then they are diluted, draft beer is gloom - EFES, bought in bottles quite another matter. There is a "restaurant" on the roof in the tower - they say the same food, but served by waiters, so 8 bucks per person. I didn’t go there, so I can’t write anything sensible.
In general, neither I nor my wife are picky about food.

ANIMATION, ENTERTAINMENT: water polo in the pool, table tennis and darts nearby, water competitions. Animators do not strain - it's good. In the evening, mini-disco, then some kind of program: Thais - circus performers, Mr. and Mrs. Simena, karaoke, guess the melody, live music - an incomprehensible singer who can sing ..... horror honestly, etc. Then a disco, all in the amphitheater, with it there is a bar.


INFRASTRUCTURE: Gym - everything is as in the picture, no barbells, exercise bikes, treadmills, simulators for different tractions and muscle groups, dumbbells - 8.10, 16kg. Been there several times, not bad - this is a plus for the hotel. Hamam - honestly it was the first time - bargain, first a sauna, then the hammam itself with peeling, massage (I thought they were doing Thai, but they were from Bali, they were a little offended), then a mud mask, they give tea in between. Nothing special. Playground, beach volleyball, umbrellas.
On Wednesdays, a mobile bazaar arrives in the village of Camyuva itself, we went on foot - to be honest, nothing special .....

EXCURSIONS: we ordered everything on the street - I'm not afraid, I did the same in Egypt and Thailand. I advise Pipo-Tour (Pipo-Tour). Especially in Demre-Mira-Kekovo, for trout fishing.
Demre-Mira-Kekovo and the Church of St. Nicholas - an excellent educational tour, it was very lucky that the guide was Oksana (as it turned out later, a Kiev  ), there are a lot of good reviews about her on the Internet, they are true. Accessible, very informative, the presentation is pleasant and not dry, there is an answer to any question, without an accent, other groups were even fastened to it sometimes, as a professional. A very nice girl would be like that for everyone, especially compared the presentation, when 3 buses were combined on a yacht and sailed to Kekovo, a guide from Kazakhstan took the microphone (I don’t remember her name, I think Elmira) - so I almost fell asleep, beer saved.
Believe me, I am writing not because of the fact that fellow countrymen, but clearly from my impressions. She is a tour guide in Pamukkale. In the end, I understood the difference when I went on an “excursion” to Antalya

Fishing - everything is great on time and fast. I'll tell you a little secret - take sausage with you, it bites well, my wife and I pulled out 7-8 trout pieces, and the same number fell off. We sat at the table with nice Russian guys (without irony), who stocked up on vodka in advance and we simply could not help but drink for friendship between peoples.


There was money left, and souvenirs are needed, and so we decided on an excursion to Antalya with shopping, took it from Pegasus at the hotel, it includes textiles, souvenirs, leather, travel around the city, food (not bad by the way), and 2 hours of a yacht with swimming and views of the waterfall. This is where I realized the difference in the guides. There was Ali Baba (he called himself that), a Turk who did not get enough sleep. He talked more about discounts in leather, about bargaining, etc.
than about the country and the city, information was pulled from it with tongs. I decided to test my knowledge of history and asked why Turkey has such a flag. There was no clear answer, mmm ..... well……in short……. . blood and sky I was shocked. At least read Wikipedia before calling yourself a tour guide. I have already told shopping centers in my life and in my city, and I saw better skin, I’m not interested, especially considering the quality, I wanted to hear about the country and the city ..... anyway. The yacht is good, large 3 tiers, everything is ok. But again, the people are in darkness ......and here I was also convinced that we had enough boors and their number was growing exponentially, when everyone left the yacht (there was nowhere to rush, there was no need to take place anywhere) so my wife was almost pushed into the water, everything rushed somewhere, and mostly young ladies ......

And so I see that nothing has changed. Request to the brothers Slavs.
Guys learn to behave adequately, you are not kings for 1500-2000 bucks, learn to respect the owners, others and yourself. Learn to communicate calmly, don’t be rude, I saw how one sultry young lady shouted to the guy who was doing a barbecue: “Sysh, make it hotter! ”, Doesn’t she really understand that he is not obliged to speak, and even more so to understand the drunken Russian language. I myself speak Russian and I'm not trying to offend the language, believe me in no way. People, please dress in places where they eat, firstly, you don’t particularly want to see and smell fat bellies and priests in front of your nose while eating, and secondly, the person who sits after you in this chair will not be delighted with that that you sat there in a wet bathing suit or swimming trunks.

From such arrogant, drunken, boorish characters, foreigners don’t get the “good” impression of all Russian speakers, it doesn’t matter if you are Belarusian or Ukrainian, Moldovan or Russian or someone else, be people, don’t shit where you eat, prove that it’s cooler you just don’t need boiled eggs, it’s all visible on the face or from the first two phrases. People learn to relax, the same vacationers are next to you. If you are so cool then please go to the islands and do what you want, but you are bored - no one will see and check how you blue fight, yell at night, vomit, staggering, cannot get into the elevator and throw food, yell at the staff because that he does not understand the illegible drunken bazaar, which he is not obliged to understand, and I doubt that such people will have the means to go to the islands.

It seems to be everything I wanted to write.

I give the hotel a clear - 3 stars, it does not pull on 5 stars, by no means. And rest for 5- : -)
Thanks to those who read.
But I emphasize once again: who with what mood (and knowledge of where he is going) rests will receive from the rest.

GOOD REST ALL!
