Hotel ratings by criteria:
I want to write a review about the hotel Rixos Beldibi (Turkey, Kemer). Rested: my husband and I and a colleague working with a five-year-old child.
The new terminal in Antalya is large and convenient. We went through customs within 10 minutes without any queues, we received our luggage almost immediately. Representatives of the Tour Operator were already waiting for us and immediately escorted us to the minibus, so there were not many hotels that we had to call in. But we didn't care, because the first in line was ours.
We arrived at the hotel at about three o'clock local time (the difference with Moscow is minus 1 hour), lunch in the main restaurant had already ended, but the sweet girl Svetlana agreed, and we were given the opportunity to eat (because we had a small child with us).

After dinner we were given the keys to the rooms. My husband and I got a room on the ground floor. Before leaving, I read that these are not very comfortable rooms, so I asked to change the room. After 10 minutes of negotiations, we were given the keys to the room on the fourth floor (corner room overlooking the mountains and the sea). In general, the corner rooms in this hotel are larger than usual and are considered suites, if possible, ask for these rooms and a higher floor.
After settling, they immediately ran to the sea. The entrance to the sea from the pier and immediately the depth, so for children who can not swim it is not very convenient. Although if the child is not afraid of depth, you can either wear a vest or give him a circle and everything will be fine.
You can enter the sea from the shore, but there are large pebbles, so I recommend taking special shoes with you and then there will be no problems.
Water… There was a feeling that the water temperature was higher than the air temperature, well, very warm. The sea itself is clean, but empty (in terms of fauna).
The pool is large and comfortable with stairs, which again is convenient for families with children. Near the pool there is a small water park with three slides. It works from morning (I can’t say more precisely, because I came at about 10-30) and until 18-00. All adults and children ride on them. In the pool itself there is a fountain - a favorite place for photographing.
There is no need to borrow sunbeds, you will always find a comfortable place both on the beach and near the pool. Upon check-in, you will be given cards for beach towels. They can be changed every day.
Meals: breakfast from 7-00 to 10-00 buffet main restaurant (located on the -1 floor), late breakfast from 10-00 to 11-00 buffet main restaurant, lunch from 12-30 to 14-30 main buffet restaurant, dinner either from 18-00 or from 19-00 (I don’t remember exactly, because I never went that early) and until 21-30 buffet main restaurant, late dinner from 24-00 to 2-00 main restaurant , but I don’t know what they give there, they never went.
Alcoholic drinks for lunch and dinner in the main restaurant must be ordered to the waiter, but they bring quickly. In addition, the hotel has places where you can still have a bite to eat.

For example, in a Turkish restaurant at about 11-12 o'clock they bake Turkish cakes with filling (very tasty), in a barbecue restaurant at about 12-13 o'clock they cook shawarma (Turkish, it is not at all like the one they offer in Moscow), Turkish sausages, etc. . d. Basically Turkish food.
This restaurant cooks different things every day, information about what will be on a given day can be read at the entrance to the main restaurant for breakfast. There is also a restaurant near the pool, where around 16-00 hours they offer sausages in dough, hamburgers, french fries, all kinds of vegetables, fruits and ice cream.
Yes, during the day you can drink hard alcohol only in the beach bar and in the hotel lobby bar, in other places only beer and juices. Alcohol is both local and imported. I preferred imported (martini, bacardi, campari, gintonic, tequila).
In addition to dinners in the main restaurant, you can order (pre-registration one day in advance) dinner in one of the five A la carte restaurants (they work as snack bars during the day, as I wrote above).
Turkish restaurant: located on the outskirts of the hotel on the right hand side, all the food is very spicy and the chairs are not very comfortable for long sitting, but worth a visit to get an impression of the local cuisine.
French Restaurant: Located on the terrace above the main restaurant. Very nice view, delicious dishes, but in my opinion, you could cook something closer to French cuisine (for example, frog legs, onion soup).
Fish restaurant: located near the beach bar, unusually delicious dishes (I recommend the seafood pot).
Barbecue restaurant: located near the sea. Food, of course, grill, barbecue, etc.
Italian restaurant: located in the same place as the French one, only on some days of the week it works like an Italian one, and on other days like a French one. I can’t say anything about the kitchen, because. failed to get into it.
The food in the main restaurant is also very tasty and varied, a large selection of meat dishes, a lot of sweets and fruits (delicious watermelon and peaches).

Rooms: as I wrote above, it is better to take a room on the upper floors. The room has a fairly large bathroom, every day they change towels and report all sorts of little things (gel, shampoo, soap, etc. ). You can ask to bring bathrobes. There is a TV with 4 Russian channels, a minibar is replenished once a day (two beers, two cola, two forfeits, two sprites, two mineral waters carbonated and two without gas), a safe (deposit 10 dollars).
You can order room service (night dinner), but it is free only from two in the morning to seven in the morning. The rest of the time this service is paid.
Animation: a good level, it's nice that there is a children's mini club, the kids are busy, various contests and performances are held for them. Our colleague said that both he and his child were satisfied. During the day, various competitions are tripled: rifle shooting, archery, darts, tennis, competitions in the pool, etc.
Every day there is a tournament of the day, the winner of the evening show is awarded a hotel medal. Animators are not intrusive, if you want, lie down and sunbathe, if you want, have fun.
Evening program: everything is fine, except for the dance group. Compared to other shows, they looked dull and unprofessional. We were not lucky, they played twice for our vacation. I can say that when they performed for the second time, half of the vacationers left immediately after the children's performance and the presentation of prizes.
The hotel has a very good talas center. Turkish bath, sauna, indoor pool, gym - all this is free (I also recommend it, it was checked by me and my husband, he especially liked the gym, by the way, sneakers are not necessary).
They also offer massage, but we did not try, although the people with whom we spoke said that it was not bad. The hotel also has a parachute, water skiing, jet ski, etc. , but all this is for a fee, because. gasoline is required. It seems that I forgot to write about the hotel.
Departure. Here we were not lucky, our flight was delayed for five hours. True, we must pay tribute to the Tour Operator. They found out in time about the flight delay, and we just extended our vacation (there were clients of other companies who spent all this time at the airport). The only thing that was not convenient was that we flew to Moscow at about 4 o'clock in the morning, and we had a small child with us. The rest was a success.
