Хороший отдых за относительно небольшие деньги Good stay for relatively little money

Basically, everything written above by other vacationers is true. A cozy small hotel with 30 rooms with all the consequences: there are no queues in the dining room like large hotels (in the neighboring Marina, for example), there is no crush in the pool - you can swim normally, there were enough sunbeds near the pool and on the beach, even for our constantly empty people from neighboring " packed to the eyeballs "hotels were attached, but from time to time the beach watchers calculated them on other bracelets and politely escorted them out... The rooms are cozy, clean, the furniture is new, not shabby, they cleaned regularly, though the last few days before our departure the bed was not changed, although they had been changed before regularly... Even with us, a commission came with a check (I think the tour operator monitors "their" hotels so that people are not offended, they take water from the pool for testing, look at the menu, rooms, etc. It seems that later the owners did not make any claims. The pool water was changed once a week. . .
The staff is friendly and helpful, they always wish good morning, afternoon and evening when they meet - it's nice : ) There is no animation, but it didn't bother us - we went on excursions every other day, to the water park, rafting, Demre-Mira-Kekovo, ourselves without excursions to Antalya 2 times went for a walk on the local bus number 28. You need to go to the "Old City" - "Kale Ichi" the driver needs to be told. The fare is $2 per person one way. It is very beautiful there: old houses, narrow crooked streets, many souvenirs are sold + a bay with yachts - you can get on a boat trip along the coast of Antalya, which we did with pleasure - we liked it very much... We went to Hamam in Kemer - we also liked it, relaxation + steam room + massage with oils - very cool relaxes after the road... We also went on a picnic with fishing - a wonderful vacation on a mountain river, the air is fresh, everything is super... I recommend it. All excursions were taken at local travel agencies - do not believe the guides who are not advised to take from the locals - insurance is valid throughout Turkey, and the Guides are 2 times more expensive, but everything is the same...
Now about the food: There was no choice of hot dishes for lunch and dinner - 1 soup, 1 second and 1 side dish, but there were no restrictions on portions either - everyone imposed as much as he wanted. It alternated every other day - a day of soy cutlets - a day of dishes on the grill: either chicken or fish, etc. There were a lot of salads to choose from... I think it depends on the change of the cook how much and what they pour. Our cook did not pester anyone, and the friendly, cheerful and groovy waiter Said liked everyone very much: he always wishes you bon appetit and makes bored tourists laugh : ) we even got to know him later and went to the disco after his shift - when people were human you communicate and relate to them - people ALWAYS reciprocate, even Turks - so it all depends on you...

On the water of the bar - a standard set: local dry red and white wine, beer, vodka, gin and Raki (Turkish vodka). They tried crayfish, but I didn’t like it... In the heat of the day they drank beer, for lunch and dinner they took wine from the bar to the canteen, in the evening they drank cocktails Vodka + sprite, Gin + lemon - the most acceptable combinations in our opinion... A couple of times the beer at the bar ran out, but this is not because of the greed of the owner, but because of some "tourists" who, because of the bar counter, did not turn sour from morning to evening... In general, a solid 4 out of five points... I think what is better and better hotels 4 and 5 stars but there is completely different money... We are not spoiled by the service, especially after the Crimea, we liked Begonia...
As an indicator of service - we had a half of the hotel of the Germans resting and they didn’t complain either - I think so, it means that such a hotel suited them... What should Ukrainians say for us then : )))
The sea is very salty, it stings your eyes, the water was warm and clean. True, for a couple of days when the wind blew to the shore from the sea, all kinds of garbage were washed (cellophane, disposable cups, wrappers, etc. )
As for the stones - in front of our beach there was a path of small, non-sharp stones about a meter wide and 10-12 meters long so that it would be convenient to enter the water - so there were no special problems with entering the water : ) Probably the owners of the hotel read the previous reviews and eliminated disadvantage : ) The weather was wonderful for 10 days, once it rained and then a little - an hour later it ended and again the sun - so we rested, swam, sunbathed from the heart : )))
I recommend to all unspoiled tourists who will go for the first time to start with "Begonia" so as not to spoil the impression of the first trip to Turkey.
