Rested in Larissa Akman from May 31 to June 12.2013. with two six-year-old sons. I was in Turkey for the first time (before that I only went to Egypt), I really liked it! Nature is simply amazing, it exceeded all my expectations! I read (and heard) that the humidity in these areas is high, a little worried, because I can not stand it very well, but there was no discomfort at all. Unless the linen has dried up at night - that's all the manifestations of humidity : ) And so: mountains, pines, palm trees, sea, sky - heaven on earth! .
Now in order.
We drove from Antalya for about 2 hours, the last ones were brought to us (and the first ones were taken away when we were leaving). But I was not at all tense - the bus is comfortable, the roads, especially in comparison with the Ukrainian ones, are excellent, behind the windows of beauty, treated the move as a free tour. Thanks to our guide on the bus (Coral Travel), told everything and everything in essence, what is really interesting and needed to know.
Arrived at the hotel at about 12 o'clock. The reception is modest, a small room in a separate building, for those waiting for 3 sofas, standing with the letter P and a table between them, there is a cooler with hot and cold water, bathroom. When many arrived, there was no room for everyone, but personally I was not worried at all, we left our things and went to the sea, on the way looking at where we will spend these 12 days. 3rd floor in the 6th building-building just opposite reception (622 number). All buildings are 3-storey with 6 rooms and have their own name. Our Olimpos : )
The room is quite decent, read on the net some reviews and waited for the worst, to be honest. There is enough space and this despite the fact that we had 3 beds. Of the furniture there is a large closet with a screw-in safe (2dol. /day), chest of drawers, wall mirror, 2 bedside tables. Refrigerator, TV, condo - everything worked, nothing was used, so to.
in the room just spent the night, came a couple of times during the day to change clothes, take some things, rinse, etc.
. d. Slept with an open balcony (be sure to take a fumigator! ), the condo was turned on only for half an hour to cool the room a bit. The balcony has 2 chairs and a small table, a drying hanger on the wall. Our balcony overlooked the neighboring building and the billiard room, you could see the sea and the building of the neighboring hotel Elize Rezort. The bathroom is compact, but again, everything suited us and unfolded without problems (maybe the big people there and close, for my 160cm height no discomfort at all, and the children are cute - enough space to turn around). There is no shower, just a "trough" with a drain and the shower itself. There is a window in the bathroom, which is also pleasing - the door was closed after bathing and the whole couple quickly went outside. Tiles are everywhere. The room itself is clean, redecorated, the furniture is not new, but not terrible. Under the ceiling is a chandelier, at the head of the beds are 2 lamps.
Cleaned every day, friendly maid, the quality of cleaning does not depend on tips, except that in gratitude you will still have swans and flowers: ) Room (as, however, the hotel itself) is quite quiet, evening animation until 23h approximately To party. Sometimes the music was up to 24 hours, but we did not mind. If you close the balcony, then in general. I will also note that when you go up the stairs to the room, there is a crazy view of the mountains and the mountain Takhtala in particular, and grows a pine tree that smells bad, sings a magical bird! .
As everyone has written here, the area is VERY green, well-groomed, many colors. The alleys between the buildings are picturesque and clean. The gardener spends a lot of time at work, constantly watering, caring for plants, the air smells of it, it's nice to just walk, thank you very much!
Along the sea above the beach is a small promenade, also with flowers (and in Turkey, our Ukrainian marigolds grow)))), marigolds or calendula in Russian), palm trees.
The sea ...Well, everything is clear here)))) It's just a fairy tale! ! ! ! ! When we were there, it was stormy, but it didn't stop us from swimming. The beach is clean, constantly cleaned, leveled in the evening. There are enough sunbeds, there were always enough, except that everything was busy under the canopy in the shade in the morning, but personally I like to sunbathe, shop, and always went somewhere (to drink tea, coffee on the slide with children, etc. ). ). After lunch and in the afternoon the beach is about 30-40% full. I haven't seen sunbeds broken, everyone has mattresses. Towels on bail of $ 5 are given out near the hammam, in the morning you change for new ones. Towels are almost all brand new (1 time only a little old), quality. The beach itself is a small pebble and very small soft pebbles, you can even call it big sand. Special
we personally didn't need shoes, and I and the children enjoyed walking barefoot. Only during the day they get very hot and had to walk in ordinary flip-flops, flip-flops. Only barefoot people walked on the hot stones. The children enjoyed playing, building something forever, looking for more. The beach also has wooden decks - one to the sea, the other perpendicular between the 2nd and 3rd line of sunbeds. The sunset is wonderful, anywhere. Although some (especially the elderly or difficult people), I saw, it was difficult to get out. Some in special. shoes-slippers walks, cat. you can buy everywhere. On the territory of the hotel there is a shop (near the stage), where everything is sold - and inflatable, toys, and chips, and ice cream, and shoes.
On the beach there is water entertainment: you can fly a parachute for 60 dollars. ride a boat to the bay with turtles, ride a banana.
As the man who offers this entertainment says: “We help to spend money!
»)))) There is also a pier, from which everyone loves to be photographed and just walk on it. I didn't see anyone diving, but I didn't watch it : ) The depth there is decent, so, in my opinion, you can jump if you want.
The hotel has 3 swimming pools: 1 for adults, 1 for children and 1 with a slide. The slide is simple, but mine rode with pleasure every day, and I did it a couple of times. The slide is included 2 times a day for 2 hours. There are sunbeds by the pools, and there are almost always free seats. Chlorine, of course, is present, where else without it, the swimsuit should be well stretched from the smell.
The first evening I went to the hammam, for peeling and massage. Got to Eldar, a wonderful masseur! Tan really went well after peeling, before somehow not so gradually tanned. The complex of peeling, foam massage, oil massage and face mask costs only $ 20.
(Hammam for free) + more delicious seagulls. The children also had a foam massage, then they ran to the pool : )
Food, as for 4 *, just great!
There is no such variety as the Egyptian 5 *, but I somehow do not care. The main thing is that everything is fresh and delicious! There were always enough vegetables, raw and stewed, side dishes (rice, potatoes in different variations, pasta), sauces, greens, meat (yes, meat was daily and in some cases not to write here! ), fish, sweets, fruits. Our people, of course, are savage, they fly, they gather mountains. But if something ended, they immediately took out a new full tray. So there were no hungry people. For breakfast, muesli with milk or sweet dressings (especially remembered "basin" nutella ()), several types of cheese, sausages, rolls, as well as eggs, potatoes, still fried scrambled eggs, but we are not fans, more dairy.
For lunch there is already a wide selection of dishes, and she ate in the evening (brought an extra 2 pounds, I suspect, it is from dinner)))))). In the evening, in addition to the main dishes on the grill on the side of the restaurant fried meat, vegetables and fish. Well soooo delicious! There were also the most delicious cakes.
From fruits watermelon, oranges, grapefruits, apples of 2 grades - daily. On the waterfront there is a cafe with a hookah, where a woman bakes cakes with cheese, potatoes, spinach. Took several times, most liked with spinach. And also on the side of the restaurant (near the shop) the guy bakes bread cakes, such as Georgian pita, but small. Also "goodbye, melt! »)))) In the restaurant and bar you can take fresh fresh fruit, citrus for 1 dollar. , apple-carrot - 2 dollars. There are tables both inside the restaurant and outside in the open-air restaurant under the canopy. And in the evening tables are set on the platform in front of the stage around the pool, I liked to sit closer to the beach to see the sea.
The bar is right at the entrance to the beach, soft and alcoholic drinks are available, there is a cooler with glasses. On the counter there is a machine with coffee and boiling water for tea, tea in bags, different, delicious, tried everything; device from "yuppie", from which I tried to wean children.
The bartender pours Pepsi, sprites, fanta, beer, spirits, makes cocktails, there is always ice. Everything is fast and kind, and still has time to joke. You can also order Turkish coffee for $ 1. , delicious, saves from low blood pressure and fatigue from rest)) And you can drink all this right there, at the tables on the terrace overlooking the sea, in the shade and with the breeze. Very tasty beer (Ephesus)! Wines, too, by the way, are good - someone likes dry.
I also liked the animation, unobtrusive and steadfast (you can watch with children without fear).
From 10 am our animators toured the area, greeted everyone and talked about the upcoming events (by the way, at the entrance to the beach there is a stand where all the entertainment is painted hourly), and these are: morning gymnastics, aqua aerobics, beach volleyball, water polo .
Children's animation is also almost all day: children draw in a mini-club, prepare themed products for evening shows (for example, making flags of their countries, preparing Indian hats - they then had fun admiring the "pale-faced" and throwing him in the pool and themselves themselves, es-but, too))), girls-animators draw masks for children, and in the evening a children's disco, a whole hour, the only thing I would like the dances for children to be different, at least 3 programs alternate, and then every night one and the same well, my first danced enthusiastically, but after the 4th time ran away and did not want to walk).
For adults in the evening there are always programs, always different, from karaoke to performances by visiting bands and Turkish Night. I really liked the performance of the samurai, had great fun, I did not expect such a simple level!
Twice the duo came (forgot the name, man and woman), sang songs, we danced, such a mini-disco)) And then our animators invited everyone to discos in Kemer - they took and brought back. When we were resting, Nyusha and Timati came together, and we also drove to the foam discos. I did not go (because I was resting alone with the children), I can not share my feelings)) How our animators had enough strength, energy and vigor - I can not imagine! They are such good guys, they always got people! Greetings!
The hotel can still play billiards as much as you want, and in the afternoon a tennis table is set up near the stage.
The only downside is wi-fi, cat.
catches only in billiards, and besides rather "tight" the Internet. I would like to have access to the room and the beach.
As a fan of the World Wide Web, it bothered me at first, but by the end of the holiday I had come to terms with the fact that I could not immediately send a letter to my girlfriend, talk on the couch via Skype, and watch a movie online or wander the forums. I hope we will correct this small minus.
Across the road from the hotel there are plenty of shops where you can buy goodies, textiles and souvenirs, we ate the most delicious ice cream almost every day; and even travel agencies. We went on 2 excursions, Pipo-tour agency, by the way, a woman from Ukraine works there)) We went to Mount Takhtaly (2300m), climbed the lift and watched from the observation decks of the beauty of the Anatolian coast. Price $ 50. , children for free. And went on a boat trip on a yacht - just great, I recommend!
We were taken by bus to Kemer at 8:30 am, from there we boarded the Jet Star yacht and sailed along the coast.
The captain is smart, he entertained us all the way, entertained us, at the end of the trip he arranged such a show (I will not reveal all the cards, swim and see for yourself : )) and even a small foam disco. We went to the bays, where we walked a little, as well as to the ancient Roman city of Phaselis, the captain of the boat took us on a yacht and arranged a small tour - showed turtles, several times swimming in the open sea. The price includes lunch on board (although all drinks are paid), quite decent. We returned to the hotel (again, by boat directly to our beach to the pier) around 15:30, tired and satisfied, full of impressions. And, attention! , the price of this joy is $ 15. ! ! Kids are free (but with lunch). Entrance to Phaselis (who did not want to go) $ 8.
An independent trip to Antalya to the aquarium was planned (a bus stop near the hotel, the buses are all comfortable), but I read a lot about the riots, somehow did not take risks, which I later regretted, by the way, everything was quiet and peaceful. one forum). Let's go, then, in the wake. year, God willing.
We went on our own to the bazaar in the village. Chamyuva, nothing special. However, T-shirts with the hit of the season Angry Birds were bought in memory: ) They bought sweets and souvenirs for home gifts.
And finally, I will summarize my writing (I hope no one is tired and my response will be useful to someone : )): satisfied with the rest more than! And - maaaalo! In general, I always try to go to new places, but in the case of Larissa Akman, it is very likely that I will come again! The children were also very happy, they wanted to stay there, well, at least for a year! (Quote : )).
Many thanks to all the staff for your hard work!
Well done, you really try to keep all vacationers happy! Your care, attention, friendliness and smiles left a positive impression not only about the hotel, but also about Turkey in general! Honestly, I did not want to go!
Now in order.
