Хороший отель с изюминкой для спокойного семейного отдыха Good hotel with a twist for a relaxing family holiday

Immediately in hot pursuit did not work. . . Well, good. Emotions subsided.... We rested in Turkey for the first time, so my task was to choose such a place of rest, so that later I would not regret the time and money spent, come home impressed and want to go to this country again. The family does not like a beach holiday, so a hotel 15 minutes (1 km) from the sea was quite suitable. I calculated from the map that the path to the sea would be interesting, through the city, and we have the same proximity to two different beaches - pebble and sand. A very wonderful price was at that time (they took a ticket for 3 weeks) We arrived early in the morning, the charter flight was delayed, after warning us. They posted it right away, although I was afraid that I would have to pay for a quick placement - I had read reviews. The hotel is not huge, but cozy with a twist. I'll get to the point later. We settled on the 1st floor, it turned out very well, the sun did not fry through the windows. The room has air conditioning, TV, bar, hair dryer. Clean white bedding and towels, toilet paper. There was no shampoo, only liquid soap, it didn’t matter to me, I’m just writing, because many pay attention to this. Therefore, you will not be able to steal small bottles, choose another hotel. In the description it was that the renovation took place in 2008, it seems that it’s true, the room could already be touched up: to update, for example, plumbing (faucets were leaking). Nice balcony, you can sit there, watch the family of turtles, you can hang clothes. The room was cleaned every day, whether you put in a dollar or not. The key is the card, which also cuts off the power supply. Therefore, we often left the room with the door ajar and the card in order to charge mobile phones. There was such a sense of security that in a foreign country we were not afraid that we would be robbed, for example. The same goes for the beach. The hotel does not have its own beach, but there is a transfer to the city sandy one. We went to the pebbly one, took sun loungers for $ 1 a day, left our things and swam in the clear, emerald, comfortable Mediterranean Sea, swam for a long time. And don't worry about things! On the way to the beach, we shopped, talked with sellers, they speak Russian better than you and me and chat. . . I caught myself thinking, are we definitely in Turkey? Is it really a foreign country? Amazing hotel staff: mostly men, young, but very hardworking, goosebumps! They are all dressed in white shorts, white T-shirts, and they themselves are swarthy. And houses in Turkey are all white, and cars, and buses. Most importantly, everything is air-conditioned! The whole service of Turkey works very smoothly, so everything is clear and thought out for the tourist. Our job is to just relax! The food is very varied at the hotel: vegetables in different salads of various varieties, fruits, oriental sweets, cheeses, etc. Rice was often a side dish, but the abundance of other delicious food blocked the lack of a variety of side dishes. I could barely fit everything on the plate, my poor ventricle! In the early days I caught myself thinking that there was not enough meat and fish, well, very little, but then I was glad, I got used to it, and now I practically don’t eat meat at home (it’s so good for the body! ) . On the first day, after a hearty dinner, they lay in the room, and I wanted a coffee at 16 o'clock, and then to the sea. I go out to the pool, and there are pastries and everything that comes with it! What good fellows the Turks are, well, everyone knows about our needs! By the way, coffee, tea, juices, wine, it seems, and beer at the bar during the day until 22:00 as much as you want. At first, we didn’t like that the juices were diluted, but when we drank fresh orange juice ($ 1) on one of the excursions, we realized that you couldn’t quench your thirst with this, it’s better in a hotel, and even free of charge. A couple of times we had to have breakfast before the set time, as we went on excursions, we were allowed without any problems. And if they had told us before 20:00 the day before that we would not be there for lunch, we would have received dry rations for the journey. So don't be afraid to speak up. . Before we arrived, we knew where we were going, so we chose rafting for 40 dollars for three, and the Church of St. Nicholas-Mira-Demre-Kekova_- yacht, swimming, lunch. 25 dollars per person is a great price! , But we were not warned that visiting the church is paid - 9 dollars per person! . On the first evening we visited the hammam for 10 dollars. Hamam is a very important, pleasant and, I think, obligatory thing, but on the first day! . The skin is prepared for an even tan in various ways (baths, scrubs, massages with foam, oils) within a few hours! You won’t go there the next days - the skin will be burnt, painful. We can't sunbathe! It was possible in our own hotel for 20, but we are economical. Then I talked with a girl from Perm, she praised our hotel hammam very much. It is interesting that a transfer is provided everywhere: from where you were taken away, they will return there. Now the highlight of the hotel! When the heat subsided and it was dinner time, a transformation took place around the pool: tables, chairs, tablecloths, candles were taken out and tables were laid! And every resident of the hotel felt involved in this action: a family dinner was coming! The pool was closed for swimming, music was turned on, and one evening even a musician performed. All the staff brought out trays of food, the chef immediately prepared an exclusive dish and a solemn meal began! You could sit here until the very night with a glass of wine, and you didn’t want to go anywhere, such an atmosphere is favorable! From 22:00 the bar became paid. Several times we forced ourselves to “roll out” into the street and take a walk, and nowhere have I seen such a dinner in neighboring hotels !!! ! And we went around almost the whole of Kemer! And if this day is your birthday, the staff solemnly congratulates you, applause from the "residents" and a cake is awarded! Vacationers are all calm, no one interferes with each other. Once I caught a picture of how a newly arrived company of guys and girls behaved defiantly in the pool (“got drunk” and attracted a lot of attention) I watched how the vacationers reacted: no one liked it, they invited the owners of the hotel, I don’t know what they did with them , but never saw it again. And by the end of the rest, all my clothes, my body began to smell like "Turkey"! Some spices, I could not understand what it was. And when they flew away, I went into the duty free, sniffed a lot of perfumes and found this smell! Chanel #5 smells like Turkey! I rated the hotel as a seven, I would like to update the remontik and seafood for dinner!
