Hello to everyone who reads this) I want to share my impressions about the rest at the Ideal Prime Beach 5 * hotel. I must say right away that I was in Turkey for the first time, so there is nothing to compare with. We went on vacation right after the wedding, like honey week. My husband and I are 22 and 26 years old. The hotel looks chic, everything is in a very seasoned style, white color prevails in the design, very beautiful lighting throughout the hotel in the evening. We arrived at 6 pm, settled us in 2 bills. A helpful boy took our HUGE suitcase, showed us to the room, explained all the delights of using a key card and air conditioning (more on this special savings system later : )). The room is very good, all the furniture is new, a glass shower, new plumbing, everything is in good condition, everything is sterile clean, the only caveat is that there were 3 out of 4 legs on the balcony table, but we quickly adapted to this only inconvenience by placing it closer to the wall . As for savings - everything is sooo thought out, when you enter the room, the key-card is inserted into a special cell and only after that you can use all the amenities of civilization in the room: light, water, sockets, TV and air conditioning. When exiting, when you take out the card, everything automatically turns off. So get ready to charge your phones and camera batteries only while you are in your room. The air conditioner works on the same system, so you won’t be able to cool the room while you are on the beach, plus - when you open the door to the balcony, the air conditioner cuts itself out and this created a little discomfort, since the husband smokes and periodically went out onto the balcony. About food - as for me, everything was enough, though chicken and turkey prevailed from meat, in the evening something from meat or fish could be cooked on the grill, a lot of salads, vegetable stews, spaghetti, fries, rice in different forms, enough fish . Some very exotic soups for us - either corn or spinach, in general, we did not eat liquid, so as not to tempt fate. The tables were always free, the waiters are cool, they like to joke, they try to teach everyone the Turkish language))
At the expense of the bar - everything is not Ultra at all) if you want some kind of human alcohol - be kind, pay, and it’s not at all cheap, we drank mostly beer and martini (although this is not a martini at all, but some kind of cheap Bianco vermouth) , everything else gets boring in the first 2 days, cocktails, despite the abundance of flowers and ingredients, everything tastes the same. Only whiskey-cola and gin and tonic differed, though when you drink the latter, it feels like you are drinking a Christmas tree))
Animation - so to speak, is absent, although, in principle, nothing surprising for 1300 vacationers 4 animators. They are poor and didn’t really relax, Oksana is a cool girl, we went to her for morning exercises and aqua aerobics in the pool, Vika held some kind of game at sea, which we couldn’t get to, it was held at 3 o’clock day, and we were having lunch at the same time. Two guys (I don't remember their names, because they are Turkish) held competitions near the pool with slides, by the way, very interesting, we participated twice. In the evening at 10 in the club every day there was a show program that ended with joint dances (movements were shown by animators), I liked this entertainment most of all)).

The sea is sooooo clean, quite cold to me, like at the end of September, as they like to write about the Aegean Sea. There are plenty of places on the beach, comfortable sunbeds. We often lay on the pier and dived from it (for those who like to peep, there you can usually always meet a couple of three young and not very girls who sunbathe topless)
It was cool when we saw the chip about biting fish. If you go into the sea up to your knees and stand still, fish will surely come and give you a pedicure with pleasure. This is how we got rid of calluses from shoes. The procedure is very fun and ticklish))
We took diving from the excursions (there is nothing to watch, wasted money), fishing (a very exciting trip on a yacht, we caught fish on a fishing line, then they prepared it for us. including alcohol). We also went to the Aegean Islands, it’s very cool, but you need comfortable rubber shoes such as sandals, it’s very inconvenient to walk on water in flip flops (there are a lot of sea urchins) and it’s inconvenient to climb to the top of the island where a very beautiful view opens up.
In the middle of the week we visited Bar Street (the local street of discos and restaurants) money was left unmeasured, but came off in full. It is very important to change the currency to local lira, the Turks love to fuck on the course)) Often, 1 dollar was equated to 1 lira, although the exchange rate is 1.65))
There are a lot of Europeans in the hotel, a lot of English, Germans, 50 percent of the youth, there were almost no children.
In general, I really liked the rest, especially when we met the newlyweds from Belarus)))
So it's not the place that makes the person, but the person the place))
Have a good rest everyone)))
