To begin with, we have a small child under 1 year old and we have never been to Turkey before!
Like all tourists with children, we thought for a long time and reviewed a bunch of completely different hotels. We read hundreds of reviews, looked at photos, asked a bunch of questions about additional things (kettle, refrigerator, crib, bath, etc. ) And I can say with confidence that we were very, very satisfied!!!
For those who want to see the latest photos and videos of the hotel: TUI FUN&SUN CLUB DI FINICA 5* here is the link, I posted it on youtube: https://youtu. be/U55bBva6hmQ
So we were at the hotel from May 20.2019 to May 27.2019. The hotel changed its name in 2019, before it was called Presa di Finica Hotel & Suites.
The transfer from Antalya airport to the hotel took us 2 hours, and this despite the fact that our hotel was the 3rd in a row where tourists were delivered.
We were settled in an additional building, and warned that if we didn’t like something, then the room would be changed (everything is free, they don’t ask for money like in Egypt).
Now about everything in order:
one.
The hotel - the hotel is located 4 km from the city of Finike, in a circle of mountains and orange trees grow. There are no other hotels nearby, so they don’t hang bracelets on their hands here)). Two buildings, and if with children, it is better to live in an additional one, because there are large elevators and less noisy. On the territory of 2 large pools, but they are not heated water. A small water park, 2 tennis courts, a football and basketball field, a shooting range, an amphitheater and playgrounds. The territory is quite compact, only 5 minutes from the room to the sea. Also here, if you have your own washing powder, you can use the washing machine for free.
There are a couple of shops selling things, jewelry and souvenirs. The price tag will certainly be too high))
2. Room - the room itself is large enough, the bed is double, there was a new crib next to it. There is a TV, which shows about 15 channels, movies and news in Russian, cartoons and political channels in Ukrainian.
A brand new kettle, a built-in fridge with drinks (cola, fanta, sprite, mineral water and just water), a hair dryer, and a large balcony overlooking the water park and mountains! We additionally asked for a bath to bathe the child, or to wash children's things, and we were immediately brought to the room with a new bath. There is also air conditioning, but we didn't use it. An important point for those with children, the shower in the bathroom is built into the wall, and a glass partition is installed, so we bathed the child in the tub.
3. The sea and the beach - we were at the end of May, the weather was 28-30 degrees, the street is quite comfortable, you need to be careful in the open sun, you can burn out at the moment. The sea was cool, sometimes there were small waves. As an adult, it is quite comfortable to swim, and for a child, we collected an inflatable pool and bathed in it already! To speed up the heating of sea water, we took boiling water at the bar and diluted it in the pool.
The sea here is clean and transparent.
The beach is gray sand mixed with small pebbles. The entrance to the sea is small and medium pebbles, so it will not be superfluous to stock up on special shoes.
There are also three types of sunbeds here, these are ordinary plastic ones with a mattress, improved wooden ones with a better mattress, and 8 large 2-seater platforms with amazingly high mattresses, and a canopy on top, and there are also hammocks next to them). By the way, we spent all the time on the latter, and it is very convenient!! ! Mattresses can be moved, and it is convenient for the child to crawl on them, play and all that.
We were lucky that there were only 150 people at the hotel when we checked in. We calmly came to the beach by 9.20 and occupied such a sunbed. In the last two days, though, people have been added, and already before going to the restaurant for breakfast, I went in and threw a towel on the sunbed (occupied) and calmly, slowly, we had breakfast and went to the sea.
There is a restaurant bar next to the sun loungers, where beer is poured into paper cups with a volume of about 250 ml, and you can take it as much as you like! (otherwise they write on the forums that there is no beer, or they pour 100 grams each) There is also white and red wine, quite suitable, and poured into glass goblets. And of course juices, drinking water in plastic cups of 100 ml.
There is also foodcore here, they cook pizza, french fries, shawarma, salads, grilled fish, etc.
On the beach, all the sunbeds are free, the restaurant plays pleasant, not loud music.
For noisy companies near the beach on the lawn there are paid gazebos with a bar and electricity for $ 20 per day.
4. Restaurant - I'll start with the fact that the food here is better than in Egypt a hundred times!!!
The restaurant is large, divided into three zones, the first for children (there are children's tables, a blender, steamed food for children), the second is closed in the restaurant and the third is under a canopy in the fresh air.
We didn’t see fights for food and queues here, if something ended, then it was immediately brought. The cuisine was varied, they prepared a soup similar to borscht, many types of cheese, meat: chicken, beef, veal, turkey, lamb, several types of fish. The meat was cooked in different ways, it was boiled, fried, grilled. Fruits, vegetables, etc.
Smoothies are made for everyone at the entrance to the restaurant in the morning! And in the restaurant itself there is an orange juicer, and you can squeeze yourself as much juice as you like! (there is only one, so there is a queue here, but I heard that in other hotels they sell such juice for $ 2 per glass).
In the bar here you can drink wine, martinis, many cocktails, alcohol here is basically normal, there is a ballroom choice. There is also European alcohol, but it is paid, for example, a bottle of Chivas Regal costs 50 euros here.
5. Pools and water park - The water park is open every day, until 16.00 then the water is turned off.
Music is constantly playing on the pools, and there are a lot of all kinds of entertainment (water polo, darts, zuma, etc. )
There is a bar next to the pool, they make a lot of cocktails, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, beer, juices, ice cream is served every day after 15.00.
6. Staff and animation - the staff here is responsive, they try to fulfill any requests, many Russian-speaking Kazakhs, everyone is pleasant and friendly! Animation girls from Russia and Ukraine. Every evening there is a show in the amphitheater, immediately for children, and then for adults. The show ends at 22.30. After that, the room is quiet, by the way, you can’t hear the neighbors through the wall either, but if someone makes noise in the corridor, then of course it comes to the room.
Near the city of Finike, the fare is $ 0.5 per person, there are also many attractions within a radius of 20 km from the hotel where you can go and have a great time. Kemer is about 50 minutes drive from the hotel.
I hope that this review will be useful, although I understand that all people are different and everyone sees everything in their own way! Some people like it here and some don't. But I repeat that we set the task of taking the child to the sea, and we really liked it here. We spent all the time outdoors, and only went into the room to change clothes or already for a night's sleep.
Tips for new parents for the first flight and trip:
- Take a stroller cane on the road,
- sunscreen for children is a must,
- before the plane takes off, drip a nose for the kids,
- at the airport there is a children's room where you can feed and change your child, you can warm up the food in the microwave, well, or ask to warm it up in a cafe.
- take a good liter thermos with you, which keeps the temperature for a day. (it helped us a lot, boiled water once, and just pour it into a bottle)
- take with you 2 bottles for milk, and 1 for juice and water (this is very convenient, you don’t have to constantly run and look for where to disinfect the bottle)
- take a portion container for 4 sections for baby food (since our child ate 4 times a day, we poured the dry mixture into containers in the morning, plus poured porridge into one, this saved our time a lot, and we could quickly prepare the mixture)
- we took a nibbler with us and gave the child a banana during breaks, it's very convenient!
- we fed the child on the beach, we took large glasses of boiling water to warm up meat and vegetables, then we mixed it all in the same disposable glass, put the child in the stroller and fed.
- we took all the baby food with us, plus for every day we brought 1 liter of water per child. It is worth taking with a margin for a day or two.
- We did not dare to bring cottage cheese for a child, and in local stores we did not find a suitable one for such little ones.
- a very comfortable inflatable pool, the child likes to swim and has fun. Yes, and always there. Water in the pool can be carried with an ordinary plastic bag)
