Приятный отель Zena Resort 5* Pleasant hotel Zena Resort 5 *

The decision to go on vacation in the velvet season to Turkey came spontaneously, the ticket was issued a few days before departure, and there was practically no time to choose a hotel. We relied on intuition, which absolutely did not disappoint. We took off from Odessa, 1:40 in the sky and are already landing in Antalya. We flew from Anex Tour, the round-trip flight went perfectly, without any delays, the planes take off and land right on schedule. Transfer to the hotel was a group and quite comfortable. All the way, the representative of the tour operator, a nice girl, entertained us with various stories about Turkey and Turkish customs. While talking and studying the scenery outside the window, the time from the airport to the hotel, 1:50 minutes, flew by unnoticed. We are resting in Turkey not for the first time, in comparison with Alanya, the nature of Kemer is much more picturesque. For a holiday in the Mediterranean part of Turkey, the best option. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were asked to fill out the necessary documents and sent to the snack bar, because. lunch has already passed, and dinner is not soon. After having lunch and returning to the reception, we were informed that our room (the standard was paid) was ready and we were being settled on the third floor, and they were also delicately informed that repairs could begin in the hotels next week and there was a possibility of our moving to another room on the second floor. In addition to cards from the room and for towels, the reception desk gives out small, cute handbags for carrying various small items and keys. The rooms in the hotel are quite good, on the third floor they are smaller in size than on the second. The view from our balcony overlooked the neighboring hotel and the sea. It is noticeable that the rooms after cosmetic repairs. The rooms are clean and tidy. A nice bonus was the free mini-bar in the room, with mineral and sweet sparkling water, replenished daily. The plasma rooms are large enough and comfortable beds. All rooms have bathtubs. Noise isolation in the room is quite poor. All the evening shows of the neighboring hotel were perfectly audible through the closed balcony door. Two days later, we, as promised, were moved to a room on the second floor. The room overlooked the central pool and the sea. The room is spacious, with two beds, single and double. The rooms have a free safe. Cleaning was carried out daily and of sufficient quality (at no extra charge). A couple of times in the hotel and in the village turned off the light. First time at night, second time during the day. The generator turns on after 30 seconds. after turning off the light. These incidents did not affect the rest in any way. The only negative of the hotel is the air conditioning. In the hotel, they are not turned on at all during the day, everywhere the doors are open, in the restaurant, the main entrance to the hotel, they ventilate and save. The air conditioning in the room was also very weak. For us, this did not play a special role, because. the temperature during the day was +28, in the evening it dropped to +22, so there was no special need for air conditioning in the room. For those who travel to Zena Resort during the high season, this may cause inconvenience and discomfort. Does the hotel have free Wi-Fi. Catches well in the lobby, main restaurant and in the rooms.
The food at the hotel is good. Large selection of dishes, very good and tasty grill. A lot of sweet pastries and fruits (though green tangerines came across). Not pleased with the work of the waiters in the main restaurant. The constant lack of clean cutlery and uncleaned tables was a little annoying. From 16:00 to 17:00 is the time for the issuance of ice cream. The ice cream is very tasty, as a result of this there are constant queues for it, if you get ready and go for a long time, you may not have time and come to empty trays. Also during the day there is a snack bar, a pool bar, a beach bar, a lobby bar and Turkish cakes are baked, there is a hookah (for an additional fee).
The beach at the hotel is small pebbles with sand. The entry into the sea is rocky, the presence of special shoes will not be superfluous. There is a hotel pier. Entry into the water is possible via a ladder. The sea is very clean, there are small and very biting fish. For those who like to swim with a mask, there is nothing to do here. There were always enough sun loungers and sailors, there is a place both under awnings, in the shade, and for lovers of the open sun. Beach towels are free (issued at the spa, on the -1 floor). There are many water activities on the beach: sailing on yachts, boats, scooters, parachuting.

The territory of the hotel is large enough and very green. Lawns, clearings, waterfalls, various flowers, pomegranate trees, palm trees, places for recreation, children's slides, the main large pool. The hotel is located in the area of ​ ​ the main pedestrian street Tourist Boulevard. Many different souvenir shops, small cafes. At 40 min. Paradise Bay is within walking distance. You can get there on your own, the best time is in the morning or in the afternoon, when there is no large influx of pleasure yachts.
Animation in the hotel is not intrusive. There are morning exercises, archery, volleyball, water aerobics and evening shows. On Tuesdays at the hotel-Turkish evening. Many local sellers come with their goods and products, a spontaneous market appears near the main pool, after dinner there is a Turkish show with invited artists. There is a kids club. There is a good fitness room, indoor pool, free sauna and Turkish hammam. There is a paid spa, the prices are very reasonable, the quality of the procedures is good.
The hotel is quite calm, by the end of our week-long vacation it was almost 50% occupied. Most of the vacationers come from the post-Soviet space, a small number of Germans. Locals visit on weekends. Staying at the hotel, despite not minor flaws, left a positive impression. I recommend Zena Resort for both couples and families with children.
