We rested from 09 to 21 July 2014 with a complete family (5 people: daughter - 20 years old, sons - 19 and 12). The hotel corresponds to its "four". The tour turned out to be the most budgetary for our family. Everything was in high gear.
Small territory, small rooms, a small pool, daily housekeeping - all this has a place to be. Only as a problem - this is for those who come to "guard" the hotel. Cozy, clean, interesting - for those who need half a glass of water to quench their thirst. We had enough of a sip.
We lived in two triple rooms, where the air conditioner blows on one of the beds (I don’t know how it is in the others). But if you move the beds or weaken the flow (I generally slept upside down), then everything is just fine.

TV with four Russian channels. Without USB and VGA, pre-downloaded movies at home had to be watched on a netbook. Wi-Fi is stable only at the reception, the speed is average. In rooms, depending on the model of connected devices and their number, you have to adjust. For this reason, in the morning on the balcony is very personal.
Cleaning is done every day, they wind swans, hearts, flowers, although a tip was given towards the end of the holiday. Hot water is, basically, always, even in the morning after skipping, maybe. every day was sunny. A similar hot water supply system (a solar battery heats a barrel of water on the roof) is installed in almost all houses in Turkey, including the “fives”. In the shower, the ventilation works well, the dampness disappears overnight. Towels, hair dryer, liquid soap and body gel, no shampoo and dental supplies. You will have to take with you, more slates, linen to change, a couple of T-shirts + money - that's all the luggage.
Great shopping awaits you. It is better not to go to Kemer - there are no shopping centers, only boutiques where there are no price tags on the goods. The price is "from the ceiling", who does not know how to bargain - there is nothing to do there. Go to Antalya to shopping centers, there are price tags in lira. Just not in Migros, where all of Russia is, and therefore a little expensive. There are centers where you need to get on internal buses, for example, "Erasta", "Odzilek". There are also branded items and already at normal prices. True, few people speak Russian and English. Compensated by friendliness.
The safe is paid, they did not use it, maybe. cash was scarce. Actively used the VISA credit card. Convenient and profitable. They ask in dollars or in tourliers - the bank automatically translates into rubles, and at a favorable rate for us. And also quickly, the money is withdrawn instantly, which was surprising, because sometimes you stand at home and wait. They accept any money, but the most profitable currency to pay is Turkish lira. Its course: 1 dollar = 2.1 tl. But when you pay in dollars, they mean that 1 dollar = 2 tl. Another example, a bus ride from Beldibi to Kemer or Antalya costs 3 dollars, and in lira - 5.50. With rubles it is not profitable at all. Our rate at home was 1 dollar = 34.6 rubles. And in Turkey, if you buy, they consider 1 dollar = 36 rubles, and if you change, then 38 rubles. Here is the arithmetic.

I don’t know why a refrigerator is needed when you relax in the all-inclusive system. There is no sense from him, when you leave, you de-energize the whole room. There is no need for it either, cool drinks are available at the bar. Now, as for food. Only vegetarians can be delighted with such cuisine. Meat-eaters may not like it: only chicken, turkey and fish. True, in all guises, for the entire vacation does not have time to become boring. Mild climate - soft food. Quantity wins over quality. In the morning, a typical Russian breakfast: eggs in any form, cereals, yogurts, breakfast cereals, sausage and soy, soft cheeses (no hard ones) and vegetables-vegetables-vegetables + fruits. Afternoon and evening: even more side dishes + delicious dessert. There are so many fruits that I didn’t really want to, eh. I can’t appreciate alcohol - I don’t drink, but I drank cola and coffee like never before in my life. There is no queue in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening - at the opening, there is a queue for the second course. But only on big days. The trick is that if you come in an hour, the food will not decrease, and there will be no queue! There are indeed a lot of people in the hotel: all of Russia, almost everyone from the former USSR, Iran, etc. The hotel is very popular, and this pleases.
A feature of the hotel is an animation team of five Turkish guys who speak all languages ​ ​ quickly and clearly. Guys-pranksters unobtrusively, but confidently involve in any action. With their friendliness, they personify the policy of the hotel: all the staff come to you with an open face and a smile. Although, to some extent, you have to adapt. It is understandable - they are different for us. They leave cars with open windows in the parking lot...
There are no discos, which is great. Evening show strictly until 23:00. Sometimes some companies have a "continuation of the banquet. " However, with such an availability of alcohol, there are almost no drunks. Perhaps because you don’t drink a lot of such alcohol. Turkish vodka "Rakia", in general, resembles a cough syrup, such as pectusin. The Russian anti-smoking law is not enforced in Turkey.
Beach 200 meters. At hand, they easily walked in swimsuits. There are a lot of umbrellas and sun loungers, they were always free. Mattresses were not enough at first. It turned out that you need to ask the person looking along the beach, then he will bring it. The shore is pebbly and cobblestone. You can't argue with nature, you have to adapt. Either shales, or you sit right next to the shore in the water and slowly swim. Water is beauty: clean, clear, without algae, with fish, warm and sea. Bliss! The sea is the goal of our journey!
It is not boring there, there is always something to see for your money. Sauna massage (Oh-oh! ). Flight trips. Walks on air, water or in water. Historical (nothing-so). The water park, from which I was simply delighted as a child! Or awesome $2 coffee on a yacht!
The Mediterranean is my Dream #2. This is worth living for! After all, we wish each other fulfillment of desires! What do you wish!
