It was the first trip to Turkey. The whole family flew (me, husband and our son 5 years old). Considered a budget option. The airport is ok, in terms of speed, everyone passed even faster, both there and back, than we have in Boryspil. We were a little confused when we did not find the signs with our tour operator, but, thanks, the airport employee oriented us and sent us to the counter of our tour operator. And then the bus opens up beauty, nature, air, mountains, and the sea, it's simply indescribable.
The Latte Beach Hotel is about 40 km from the airport and we were lucky, they brought us the very first. And we were delighted, because our child was without sleep all day and night, and we were tired. Immediately in our thoughts, we will wait an hour until the documents are issued and we are on the beach and then the cherished dream. BUT, but. . . It wasn't there!! ! So the disappointment and the desire to be at home began. And this is a HUGE minus! We were at the hotel around 6 am and were kept in the hall for half a day. Check-in as they said from 12. Although while we were waiting, three couples settled without a queue, I hope it's just a coincidence that they are representatives of another country. In general, we went to the sea, went to breakfast, but sleep cannot be turned off, especially for a small child. Whims, tantrums began, and after 4 hours of waiting, the child simply began to vomit. The administrator, Lyudmila, saw that she ran up with water and I could not stand it and already in a raised tone asked to be settled.
After 40 minutes we were in the room. They didn’t pay for the room (and at first they hinted that they refused to issue everything faster) They didn’t provide a room to choose from and there was no need, everything suited us and came up. After finally taking a shower, we went to bed. And woke up for dinner. Released already in the morning and fully rest began in the morning the next day. So, if you fly to this hotel, ask your tour operator for a suitable flight time to be around 12 or later, especially since there are flights to choose from. As in other hotels there is a check-in, I will not say. There are 3 admins at the reception, Anna, as I understood at night, Lyudmila, the head manager, will help and prompt and answer all questions and, most importantly, the young guy speaks Russian well, but unfortunately I did not ask his name, he is very kind and helpful and worked in the evenings.

Room: we were settled in the first building, where the reception is on the second floor, the room was 1209. Emre helped us with the suitcase, thanks to him, a very kind, always friendly and helpful employee. The room is not big, there was enough space for us, we didn’t play football there, we just slept. The beds are super, upon arrival home I really wanted to be on such a bed))) Cleaning was carried out every day and towels were changed in the same way, the bed every 2 days. We were cleaned by a very friendly and kind woman. Thank you so much for this work. The room has all the amenities, a TV, we didn’t watch it, the child only turned on something before going to bed and fell asleep. Refrigerator, no ice freezes, but we always had cold water. The air conditioner worked perfectly, but its placement was not very good, it blew right on the three of us when we slept. Shower, toilet and hair dryer for girls. Liquid soap, two dispensers were. But we brought our own, so somehow it was not needed. All faucets, shower, toilet, EVERYTHING worked and nothing leaked. The safe is chargeable, we didn't pay for it. Wi-fi is paid $ 1 per day, and it worked very well for us, we were on the second floor)))
Food: since we had a budget and we knew which hotel we were flying to, we did not expect that they would serve lobster, squid, exotic fish, etc. This is the declared 4 *. If you want luxury, then you should go to the Nirvana hotel, Rixos, etc. We had enough of everything, but there were no fries, the child was a little upset, but there were delicious spaghetti with sauce, nuggets, onion rings, pancakes, delicious pastries and much more. The husband even gained 3 kg in weight in 7 days. Yes, and I succeeded, now we run in the evenings))) Most of all, of course, the mentality of vacationers outrages. They stand propping up the doors of the restaurant 5 minutes before the opening, shoving each other, 30 minutes occupying tables hanging towels on the backs of chairs and it is not clear when they come, others are waiting. They will scoop up everything, and then they will be malnourished and throw it all away. For us, it was wild. We came after the opening in 30-40 minutes and we always had enough of everything, even with an additive. And believe me, you will not stay hungry, and they will not leave you hungry.
Beach: this is the most important thing in our holiday. I chose this hotel based on two criteria, the beach and the distance from the airport. Pebble beach, medium and large stones. At first, sand with small pebbles, then in the water there were already small and medium stones, going just above the knees of large stones. We didn't buy shoes. For us it was not hard, as they say cancer, sideways and you are in the water))))) and it is useful. Special shoes are sold at every corner and you can freely and calmly buy. The sea is very warm 28 degrees. We were constantly in the water, just sat in it without getting out. Beautiful, transparent sea, and in front of you is a gorgeous view, mountains, it's cool. You can see absolutely everything in the sea. The sea was calm for 6 days, and there were waves for 2 days before departure. We did not see many fish, about 3 species, not as many as in Egypt.
There are sun loungers, towels cost $2. Our tour operator said and claimed that they were free, but having studied the Internet, I was prepared and took it from home. And I recommend you. There is also a shower. I advise you to wash off the salt water after bathing, I did not do this and lasted 6 days and then an allergy overtook me. The next two days after swimming in the sea, she immediately ran to wash off. Beautiful came home))) Since we were with a child, and he is a fidget and a balavun, we did not take excursions, but we advise you to visit a wild beach, there is a different sea and small pebbles and a beautiful view, you can take a lot of pictures. Located 15 minutes walk from our hotel.

Territory: although small, but green. Grow bananas, green lawns. There are 2 pools, an adult with a steep slide and a small pool with a small children's slide. We spent little time there, until lunchtime and probably twice. There is a small minus, well, it will probably be a request for the director or a desire to improve the hotel, make a canopy, there is always sun and it is very hot. There are 3 bars, 2 of them are open until 20:30 in my opinion and the 3rd from 20:00, which is very convenient when going to the evening animation along the way you can take a drink. Since we are not particularly drinkers, we constantly took Coca-Cola, my husband drank beer, it was cold and pleasant to the taste, they made a delicious cocktail for the girls, I didn’t try wine, not a fan.
Animation: since there was a quarantine, it was not particularly carried out, but upon our arrival they began to launch both a children's disco and an adult and all kinds of games and activities, it was not boring in the evening. Usually evening parties were held until 23:00. I won’t tell you for the daytime, we were at sea)))
Along the entire village of Beldibi there is a central street, we recommend renting an electric moped. You will not regret. But, you need rights! It is possible to drive along the entire central street with a breeze, look visually at other hotels, markets, supermarkets, so we went for gifts. Yes, and have a lot of fun in the evening and take cool pictures / videos. Also on our street you can buy delicious ice cream from a very cheerful, playful seller. I saw him once on the Internet, how he jokingly gives ice cream into the hands of customers. The child only ran for ice cream to him. You can bargain with everyone, they are inferior, we always covered ourselves with a child, and for ice cream for a baby)))
If you know how to relax, then you will not sit and look for cons. Perhaps we were wearing rose-colored glasses and did not notice anything, but our vacation was super!
I am now being asked questions, did I fly to Turkey and to this particular hotel again? I will answer this way, to Turkey, yes, but to the hotel is already different. We want to see not only Kemer, but also other tourist cities and their services, in order to understand where it is better for the future!
We hope that our review will be useful to you. And the holidays in this hotel will be even better for everyone than ours)))
And we wish the Latte Beach Hotel prosperity and more positive vacationers!
