My husband and I had questions about the quality of service: the linen was never changed, the towels even thrown on the floor, as if hinting that they were not entirely clean, were carefully picked up and hung on the crossbar. The food is completely unimaginative. Turkish cuisine, of course, is rather bland in itself and not particularly tasty (judging by the impressions received in various cafes and restaurants), but here it’s just economy-preeconomy! Every morning scrambled eggs, French fries, bad quality sausage and the same cheese. But this is a common problem of Turkish hotels. It’s good that we didn’t take dinners and lunches, but went to Kemer for dinner. Let not a fountain of taste, but at least some variety.
They also didn’t think of the transfer a little: it would be possible to start up the hotel bus at least once more in the evening: come from the city, otherwise it’s two km to stomp through the forest in the dark from the minibus, and, they say, it’s unsafe at night: wild boars run around! )))
Feelings from the hotel: redneck. But we were determined to see only the pluses, and there are a lot of them: the cleanest air, good rooms, we took the Forest room with a veranda, where in the evenings we admired the mountains and drank wine (tea, coffee).
They didn’t ride horses: they went to the stable, looked at these horses (dirty, skinny, not well-groomed), decided not to aggravate their already unenviable situation.
In general terms: I recommend for unpretentious travelers.
There is also a playground and sports equipment for every taste on the territory, even tennis for free, although I did not find the balls, but I did not ask either.
There are bars, a daytime saloon and an evening cove bar. Beautiful views of the mountains, you can take very good photos at every step, the rooms are large with large balconies, equipped with a refrigerator, TV and kettle. Children's room near the cove bar, mini zoo. There are plenty of things for kids to do if they are supervised by their parents. There are bicycles, for 5 hours €5, for the whole day €10. Only you have to ride through the mountains... Without physical training, not everyone can do it. The pool is not great depth 1.40. In July the water is very warm. Towels for sunbeds and beach free of charge.
In general, live and enjoy, to your heart's content.
But there are also disadvantages, purely personal of course... We Russians are used to the fact that if everything is inclusive, then everything is included)) and here is an ambush. Alcohol in the hotel is paid and much more expensive than in the store... If you want to dine, you also have to pay like in a cafe on the street. Fortunately, we usually go through a dutik with a load of high-quality alcohol, otherwise we would have to buy cheap drinks at a hotel at an overpriced price, or expensive drinks in a store.
There are no complaints about the beach. Transfer at 10.00, 12.00 and 17.00 can pick up back. If you arrive at 10.00, all good places are occupied, at 12 it is the hottest to go. Beach free sunbeds are good. Only here and there is an ambush, it is also impossible to go to the beach with food and drinks. We really used car rentals and went to other beaches. There is not far for $2 sunbed plus all day free coffee, tea and cold water,
In general, I advise you to rent a car if you want to live in this beautiful place. The nearest populated, crowded place is 3 km . . yes, and there are places to ride in the area.
Forgive me horse lovers, I'm indifferent to them. I went for the pictures, I liked the views.
Another tip, when paying for services (alcohol, food), if you didn’t immediately pay for it, of course. Check what is written to your account. We've had this problem, and it's not just us.
And even when checking out, ask for food on the road in the evening. No one will worry about you and think for you)))
The overall impression is excellent, I do not pay attention to other little things.
Have a good holiday everyone!
I really liked the combined program of 35 hours on horseback and cycling, trekking in the forest. The route is interesting, moderately difficult, suitable for different levels of training of riders. The climate of Turkey is very conducive to riding all year round.
And I was very pleased with the absence of a congestion of our compatriots, basically, all tourists from Europe. So the cult of equestrian tourism is much better developed there than in Russia.
I recommend it to all lovers of nature and elite recreation.
