Rested three families: five children (4-12 years old) and six adults. The hotel was selected from several options (Akka Alinda, Ulusoy, Champion, Pirates (all in Kemer)). The price tag of hotels is about the same. Since we were three families, everyone had different requests. As a result, agreed on Simena. Looking ahead, I’ll say that before that I was vacationing in Boran Mare, I wanted to go there again, but after the reconstruction the hotel raised the price tag and for our family such a trip (compared to the above-mentioned hotels) would have cost a pretty penny.
Accommodation: We arrived at the hotel at 7 am. We registered, we were given bracelets and offered to go for a walk and have breakfast until 9 o'clock. By 9 o'clock Tata came to the reception. Our request - to provide us with rooms next to each other (2 families and 1 standard) she could not fulfill, instead she offered us an intermediate option - a villa for two families (~ 105-120 mv. m) and next to one standard. With the condition that if we do not like it, then within two days we will be settled in our numbers. Villa - three bedrooms (small, medium and large), hall (45 sq. m), two toilets and a kitchen. Large balcony overlooking the sea. Each bedroom has a double bed and TV. Two bedrooms have wardrobes and safes. In the large bedroom (except for the bed) there was upholstered furniture and a large TV hung on the wall. Here we often gathered in a crowd, watched the 2012 European Championship and drank wine. In the hall there was a large round table with chairs, a round sofa, which was mainly used by children for their games. In the kitchen there was el. tiles, wine glasses and tea mugs, a couple of pots and an electric kettle. In addition, there was a large refrigerator, which was periodically replenished with bottled beer, Pepsi-Cola and bottled water. Why there were so many dishes in the kitchen - I did not understand, because in Shimen you could eat (which I will talk about below) almost from morning until late evening. If we compare with the standard and families, then the villa is much larger than all these rooms combined. Plus - the location - close to the beach, restaurant and leisure facilities. Therefore, after thinking, we decided to stay at the Villa. The room was cleaned regularly, clean, though the wrong time was chosen - an hour's sleep. Talking to the manager solved this problem.
Territory: beautiful-green-well-groomed, citrus trees, palm trees, pines, ficuses and a bunch of all sorts of flowers grow. Houses (bungalows) stand in a semicircle, forming a kind of courtyard. There is a pond with turtles, hammocks, a fountain and other decorations. There is where to walk and hide in the shade. The outermost bungalows border the Simena Hotel, which was constantly playing loud music. I do not advise you to settle there with children and in general, those who love silence are better off staying away from this place. On the territory there are three swimming pools and a couple of "legs", one pool in the water park, a large communal pool and a relaxation pool. We often bathed in the relax pool, as we were close to the room. I didn’t really like the water park, the slides were so-so, mostly children chose them. Music was usually played in the large pool and animators held their activities there.
Beach: Length 300m. Probably one of the largest on the coast of Kemer. Clean. In the middle part of the beach there is a bar that sells beer and other soft drinks. The bar visually divides the beach into two zones - smoking and non-smoking. In the non-smoking area there is a playground, various inflatable jump ropes on the water. In another part of the beach, in addition to common sunbeds, there are cabins for VIPs. Paying a certain amount of money - you can spend the whole day there. The pier is large, it has a bar where you can serve yourself (beer and drinks you pour yourself ). From the pier you can dive and feed the fish. We never had any problems with sunbeds. You could always find empty seats. Usually, closer to noon, a Turk walked around and offered iced tea and frozen towels (napkins) for his head. A trifle, but nice. I liked the most on the beach - these are entries into the sea, made in the form of wooden walkways with handrails. With their help, you can enter the sea painlessly for your feet. For many, it is the entry into the sea along the entire pebble coast of Kemer that causes a lot of inconvenience. Here this problem was solved and, it seems to me, the best has not yet been invented anywhere (I mean the Turkish coast).
Food: I will answer right away, I have no complaints about food. The main restaurant had a table for diabetics, a children's table. It is difficult to call food monotonous - you could always find something to profit from. Let me just say that I did not have enough fish dishes, but the meat (veal, lamb) was heaps. This is also a good plus, since in many hotels they save on meat and feed one chicken. Another positive point is bottled wine, the bottles were stored in a large refrigerator and you could even drag a couple of bottles to your room. Alcohol in the bars is local, I tried almost everything that burns. Frankly, they are far from world brands, but you can drink. In addition, since this is not my first time in Turkey, there was a supply from Duty Free. The hotel has 4 a la carte restaurants. Japanese paid - the rest - by appointment. It is best to sign up in advance, otherwise there will be no places at the right time. We visited Turkish and Italian restaurants. I liked the food, but the variety of the menu leaves much to be desired.
Animation Entertainment Everything was fine, but the animation for a hotel of this level leaves much to be desired. For children, the mini club is good, the girls do a good job there. Otherwise, especially the evening shows - a weak C grade. One saved, in the evenings there was football, so there was something to occupy your time.
There is nothing more to write in the review. If you have any questions - write, I will try to answer.
