главное настроение! main mood!

We went to Turkey with a super mood, therefore, it is unlikely that something could break such a mood =)) We flew to Antalya late in the evening with my sister, we were met and indicated which bus (transfer) to take. The parked buses had free wifi! ! We collected a full minibus and drove to the hotels (all passengers were from different hotels in Kemer). On the way, the guide told the necessary information about staying in the country, the hotel, etc. , we stopped at the store, someone to go to the toilet, wash, buy something for someone, exchange currency (1 dollar = 2 lira). The seller speaks Russian and English, everything in the store was priceless =))) We arrived at the Ares City 3 * hotel in the center of Kemer. A guest immediately appeared at the reception with the words "Move me out of my room, I can't sleep for the third day already" (apparently the windows overlooked a busy part of the street. I remind you - the hotel is in the city center! Silence, of course, is out of the question) . Next comes a young couple,
He asks if we are moving in or out. To our answer "we are settling in" with a sour face, they say "well, good luck to you... ". They were apparently settled in a room with 2 beds (instead of one) and it was dirty inside (floor, linens. . . ). My sister and I stupidly ignore all this, because we read the reviews in advance and realized that people go there for little money, but they are waiting for a hundred stars)). We put $ 10 in the passport (in one) and say "We are in the best room under the roof" : -D On the territory of 2 hotels, we were settled in the old building, closer to the canteen, reception and exit to the street. Wi-Fi was connected for free (they told not to tell anyone about this, because the device costs $ 5 for pleasure). Girls, make eyes at the receptionist! ; -) Wi-Fi catches well at the reception, in the restaurant and at the entrance to the hotel. In the room - only on the balcony (and then I had to stretch my arms out into the street =))). The receptionist's name is Nuri, he brought us our backpacks to the top floor in the room, we immediately checked the availability of water, air conditioning, locks.
There was a safe in the closet, but you had to pay $5 for it separately. By the way, the safe is keyed, not coded. There was no curtain in the shower, we asked for it for the first 2 days, but we were "fed with breakfast". In the end, I just said that it is fraught with "splash". In general, the curtain was never given, we just periodically asked for cleaning in the room. By the way, yes, cleaning should be requested at the reception. Nothing is removed or changed without asking. In short, we settled in, the night came, we went to bed. In the morning at 7 breakfast buffet. The food is simple, such as eggs, cereals, milk, honey, bread, jam, 2 kinds of sausages (I do not advise : )))), cheese. Well, that was enough for lunch. After breakfast we decided to walk to the sea. According to reviews - it takes a very long time to go to the sea. We did not notice how time passed - the coast! As a result, we recorded the time: from the room to the water 10 minutes at a leisurely pace. Basically, the beaches are paid - $ 1 (umbrella, deck chair). I got sick in Moscow, so we decided to stay on the budget - on the rocks : )) Beach - pebbles. The water is very salty

warm and transparent, there are a lot of people, the tan lies evenly (in Russia you immediately burn out, become covered with redness, and here you immediately turn brown). Turks walk along the beach, offer extreme recreation services, there is a bartender (on a paid beach) who brings drinks himself. We mostly went to the beach in the morning, before dinner and at night. During the day from about 13-00 to 16-00 there is a wild heat, fraught with burns. Lunch - a lot of salads (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers), every day there was something meat with a side dish, melons or watermelon. There is no drinking water in the hotel rooms, we collected from a cooler (the cooler is in the restaurant). The water is very chlorine, not tasty, so it's probably better to buy. There was no fridge in the room, by the way. The tea is not tasty, it also smells like bleach : )) And the coffee is normal, however, it looks like 3 in 1 : )) "Juices" are terrible, a la Yuppies. Well, it's probably a matter of taste. We preferred to go shopping. The bar had a very meager selection of alcohol: vodka, martini, red, white wine, gin.
All local (no dispensers : )). Martini and white wine, in my opinion, are the most normal drinks, but they were often not found in the bar : )) Beer, whiskey-cola and other delights - $ 5. Beer was bought in a supermarket - 4.5 lira on average. Even in the bar there was an eternal shortage of ice, so fellow vacationers bought containers for ice, poured water into it and gave it to the freezer in the bar, so as not to strain later, not to beg.
The on-site swimming pool is normal (in size), you can not visit from 7 pm to 7 am (probably they fill it with chlorine). Nearby there are toilets, showers, sun loungers, 1 umbrella =) I personally dived into the pool on the last day of my stay at the hotel. The rest of the days we went only to the sea. The air in the territory is wonderful, despite the roadway. Around the mountains, the sea, palm trees; ).
We visited the hammam and the water park "Troya". Who wants to save money, I advise you to take tours NOT from guides. They wildly throw on the price, apparently, their bonus)) For example,

we visited the hammam for $35 per person, and the guys from St. Petersburg went for $12 (although they didn’t have a face mask, but I think it’s not worth the difference). We went to the water park for $ 60 per person, supposedly for the whole day. But in fact, it took 3 hours to get there (until everyone was collected from neighboring hotels), rolled up at about 11 hours, and back at 15-45. But that was enough. They fed there. Fast food : )))) In the hammam, they are bred for extra. options, such as "fish", "chocolate rubbing" (whether it is smearing), etc. Haggle. They break the price too... By the way, it is better to go to the hammam during the day, so that you can spend more time there. More on this hike below. If the tour ticket includes a transfer, be careful when boarding the bus (we were taken to the wrong place at first). When you will be met directly in the hammam itself, the manager will offer additional. services - bargain. If your "ticket" includes a massage, then, most likely, the massage therapist will offer extra. massage. Something like this: a massage therapist, allegedly,
does not speak Russian, tells you to wait a minute. A man comes into the massage room, speaking Russian even without an accent, as if he were a translator. The masseur tells him in his hundred, the "translator" sounds something like the following to you: "You have severely clogged longitudinal muscles of the back, which adversely affects the sacrum... blah blah... a sharp decrease in vision, etc.... We offer a massage which is done once a year. I immediately refused, because I saw that the divorce. Then, already on the bus, I heard from those who bought it that it costs $ 40. Be vigilant : )) It was very cold in the pool with the fish, they stuck mostly to their feet. There are either few fish, or they have already eaten by the end of the day. I didn't relax, quite the contrary. Teeth were chattering : ))) Then you could swim in the pool on the territory, it was warm there + you can drink tea at the bar, but only teabags green/black. There is also a transfer back. We waited 30 minutes. There was a shop on the territory of the hamam.
$35 included: a sauna, a cold pool, a steam room with mint steam, a hammam with foam massage, a face mask, an aroma oil massage (it turned out that cottonseed oil would have done without allergies), an outdoor pool in the "garden" , tea, round-trip transfer.
Dinner: I think that they gave partly what they did not finish at lunch. Well, for example, fried, or mixed in some other way. You can eat, it was not bad for us nirazu. But I think it would not hurt to take a minimal first aid kit with you, because the guide warned that medicine in the country is insanely expensive. $100 Challenge!!

Our departure was to be at 4 am on the 19th of July. On the 17th and 18th, a lot of people drove in, and it turned out that there were not enough places for someone. We were asked to leave at one in the morning (to vacate the room), for a bottle of whiskey-cola : )))) We, in principle, were going to walk all night, so we didn’t mind. But, I think, not everyone would so easily agree to vacate the room when paid for it.
Draw your own conclusions gentlemen.
in Turkey, all hotels overestimate their "star rating", so for 20 thousand for a 3* week you will get approximately what is described above : )
But despite all this, the rest left the best emotions!
The main thing is to go to rest with the mood! And all will be well.
Good luck to all: ))
