Rested in Turkey for the first time. Went with a girlfriend and 3 other friends. We flew from Kyiv (where we live). Although at first we tried because our carrier company was Aerosvit, but in the end everything turned out to be clear, without unnecessary hassles and delays (probably our day was lucky gee; )). Tour operator - Tez tour, organization of documents, information and delivery to the hotel - at the highest level, everything is fast, clear. But here comes the settlement. . .
Chapter 1. Settlement. Reception.
After filling out the check-in forms, a kind-hearted guy at the reception named Fatih listened to my wishes about the room, before that he received 20 bucks in the passport (I needed a 2-bed room with a shared bed) and, like, picked up a room for me, gave me the keys and My girlfriend and I went to check in. And then... the number TIN! The first floor, the room is small UNCLEANED... srach after the vacationers who left in front of us! and most importantly - three separate beds!! ! Fuck. . .

I’m walking down the corridor to the reception, mentally tearing up the ass of a finished, snickering Turk-na * bschik! For the nostrils - here chock! What the fuck?? ? what's the number? untidy, the beds are not the same and 3 pieces?? ? Come on?? ? Answer: while there are no others, or for one night in a nearby hotel, or wait, tomorrow morning we will select a suitable room and relocate! In short, after a 15-minute showdown and stinging of two freaks at the reception, I at least managed to move 2 beds in that room, the third one was taken out and cleaned (cleaning is a separate issue in general. Tin! ) He stood over the cleaners (there were 3 of them , gypsy sluts in appearance), so that they would wash everywhere, and re-make the bed, they didn’t even want to change the pillowcases until they pinched! With grief in half, they removed it, but I remained terribly angry and waiting for the next morning to see what they would offer me. I was serious about breaking faces in the event of a scammer!
Track. morning, a call on the internal phone - this is Roma's friend, with whom they arrived... he says, come running to room 2037, you'll see, I'm here right now! I run, I go in - the room, as usual, is not cleaned, but bigger, with a 2-bed and 2 balconies + sea view! In short, I immediately realized that it was necessary to occupy him with a run! I go to the reception, and there is already a completely different chock (Fatih passed his shift yesterday, having previously promised me chic and luxury the next day)! I think, well, stsuko, fucking scammers. As a result, I say at the reception that the number suits me and I'm moving right now, while giving another 10 bucks, referring to the fact that yesterday I gave another 20!! ! But no, he is in denial - it freezes! I say, let's give 20 more ladies... 30... ! Nope, in broken language tells me that for this number 40 bucks, and nothing else, because. room is awesome! Of course, I cursed, said everything that I think about these smart-ass chumps, and that Fatih will be punished as soon as he appears at work, f*ckers... But, realizing that swear-don't-swear, without dough he told me will not give the keys to the coveted number, I parted with 40 bucks, adding that they (at the reception) will never get AIDS because they are GANDONS (sorry, there are no other words).
Nevertheless, we moved to room 2037 (I recommend it to couples), left our clothes and went to have breakfast and swim in anticipation of cleaning, so as not to sit in an uncleaned room!
I’ll also say that they remove it frankly badly, pretending to be clean only, the bed linen is washed, but it’s all the same stained, you can’t force the towels to be changed, even with a dollar, they just fold them neatly - that’s all! But, in principle, I didn’t come for this, the main thing is the sea, relax and turn off the brain for the duration of the vacation, so that the processor is slightly unloaded)))

And so - the hotel, although small, but not boring, animation every day, funny... there is always some kind of movement in the hotel, contests, aerobics for women in the pool, darts, etc. In the evening - a show program, although not very diverse, but there are also fun contests (including for children))))
The main thing is a cheerful company, which we had, and therefore, we were the main animators. They created a cheerful atmosphere and mood for themselves.
Food - not very varied, mostly Turkish, but always enough. There are few first courses, soups - only 2 varieties were. The food is mostly spicy and sour. Many had indigestion. Sweets and cakes are very tasty, that's credit for the Turks. Fruits - watermelon, melon and grapes sometimes, didn't spoil in short.
Dinner is the most satisfying and varied choice, barbecue grills were prepared, fish, turkey... they always overeat for dinner, then they had to eat mezim to ease the belly))) gee.
Beware of raw (tap) water, the Turks have it very dumb and smelly! And by the way, do not use ice with drinks, because. ICE IS PREPARED FROM CRAZY TAP WATER!! ! Refuse better ice in drinks, that's my advice!
Bottom line - we still had a good rest, the main thing is mood, company, sun and sea, believe me!
Excursions are also okay, there were in Aqualand in Antalya, rafting (rafting itself is cool, but the guide or local travel agency must immediately specify whether you will be in common 10-seater boats or in 2-seater boydarks, the latter are cooler, but we screwed up this moment ).
Quad safari - fat, paid 40 bucks each and we had new quads, big ones, not killed. 2 hours on the mountain route. there will be an event))
Discos - In Kemer, Inferno and Aura are normal (20-35 bucks entrance and transfer), but inside the all inclusive costs another 25 bucks and only their local drinks. A very cool disco on top of a mountain overlooking Antalya at night, a revolving restaurant in the same place, I don’t remember the name exactly, some kind of Turkish one. There are foam parties. For 35 bucks there is an entrance and an all-inclusive inside. I liked it very much and I recommend it to everyone. But the guides of the tour operator do not offer this tour, they took it on the street.

In short, there are much more positives than negatives... right now I'm sitting at work scribbling this review and I want to go back!
Summary.
Of the 4 rock hotels on the coast of Beldibi, Palm Beach is probably the brightest and most cheerful! But the service does not reach the 4-star European level, this is a fact... and the Turks are becoming impudent every year and prices are skyrocketing without increasing the level of comfort.
Conclusion - go with a cheerful company and only to trusted hotels!
