Майский отдых May holiday

I copy from Tophotels.

For the first time we were on vacation with a child (1.5 g). There were many plans, many things were expected from the rest, and, as it turned out, in vain. You need to have a rest without children, then it will be a real vacation)))


So: round-trip flight Onur, everything is fine and on time. Ekb-Gazipasha-Ekb, we had to pay extra, of course, but it was just so important for us: we specifically chose not to Antalya, because we didn’t want to stick on the transfer for three hours. We arrived in the morning, around 9.00 were at the hotel. Checked in at 14.00, earlier in any way, the hotel is full. The room is nice, new building, but the balcony is stupidly shaped and tiny. Two chairs and a table, some of this was clearly superfluous. Very closely. There is a clothes dryer, which is important. Dissatisfied with the cleaning, they never left a tip, for what ?? ? Chat with a mop in the shower and then wipe the whole room in this way? As soon as the child stepped on this floor in clean socks, the socks could be washed immediately. Some did not reach at all, they threw it away.
Bed linen and towels, however, were changed almost every day, they did not forget to put paper. But the floors are tin. Small rubbish, crumbs, sand - it was all stuffed into the corners and no more.

Food ...we went with the hope that the child would have something to eat, but ...Of course, they brought food with them just in case, plus on the way back, they eventually brought half back, because my daughter ate quite a bit compared to home. But I immediately tell those whose children are firmly on canned food: there is a very meager assortment in stores, mostly fruit, I didn’t see vegetables at all, there is syutlach (rice porridge) - my daughter ate. They saw meat and vegetables in the pharmacy, but did not take them. We bought local milk in boxes and bottles, my daughter drank it, her mixture and water. I developed a strong allergy to juices almost all over my body. There are no children's juices in stores, we tried regular ones, drank for two days and stopped, Zirtek saved me.
I will return to hotel food: for adults and those children who have been eating anything with their parents since a year, it will be fine. I will not paint the menu in detail, what we personally ate - we liked it. True, for the first time I see lentil soup every morning ...I have never seen anything like it. Moreover, it happened that they gave it both in the morning and at lunch ...As if there was nothing more to cook besides lentils. A lot of vegetables, from fruits: apples, oranges, grapefruits and something else. Sweets are so-so, the choice is large, but almost everything is about nothing. We came across squid rings twice - yummy. The beef on one of the evenings was simply amazing, with mushrooms, soft-soft. Well, everything is chicken and turkey, cooked in different ways, delicious.


I will say little about alcohol: the beer suited us, delicious. Took a couple of times a gin and tonic, okay. My husband drank raki once, and that was the end of our assortment, you can’t drink much with a child.
I thought to take some paid cocktail, but while I was thinking - the vacation was over)))

A lot was said about the beach in the reviews, I won’t add anything special, be careful with the plates, I cut my leg in two places and my hand the same way on the first day, my husband cut his finger deeply by the end of the holiday. We were mostly on the Avena beach, we didn’t take sunbeds, again you can’t get enough with a child when she realized that the water was cool and wet - they couldn’t drag it from the sea. We have never been to the 12th beach.

She sent her husband on 4 excursions: twice buggy, diving, ATVs. From three different agencies, I can tell you in more detail personally if anyone is interested. We ourselves went to the center by bus and together and one by one, Waikiki, Coton, went to the market once on business, and also walked a lot in the vicinity of the hotel itself. We drove a rented car in Side, a friend drove us. For me personally, the rest turned out to be quite passive, since I had already seen a lot in Alanya.
Of course, it was possible to visit the funicular from new places, but it became too lazy, I had already seen this mountain and the coast from all angles))) Devlet Bahceli was not going to get to the new park at all.

Entertainment at the hotel: we didn’t use the pool (I took a dip only once), we didn’t smoke a hookah, we only attended a mini-disco, we didn’t stay at the show after the mini-disco, because we went for a walk with my daughter, she doesn’t sit still for a minute. From the loud music on the first night we were a little stunned, then we got used to it, the stage was almost at our side, for whom a restful sleep is important - ask further or higher from the animation. We, having run over during the day, fell dead all three of us. In general, the animators are great, and the staff is almost all worthy, friendly people. There was one of the waiters, middle-aged, who endlessly mumbled something under his breath, incredibly annoying.

Others smiled or said hello or something else, but this one just bubububububububu with himself like a madman, either in English or in Turkish. Well, there were still some moments, for example, they kept us for a long time with a crib, which actually had to be in the room at the time of check-in or they could not answer questions, in general, it doesn’t matter anymore.

We didn’t get to the information meeting with the guide at all, while we were sleeping off, while having breakfast, we simply forgot that’s all. They didn’t lose anything from this absolutely, listening to nonsense about how it is necessary to urgently reserve excursions at exorbitant prices, how you can’t go anywhere and communicate with anyone except a guide, etc. , etc. - thank you, somehow without this can be lived.

In principle, I recommend the hotel, but I definitely won’t go a second time, mainly because of the beach. Far from the center, but it did not bother, buses run frequently. Well, just twice in the same place is somehow not interesting to me.
Well, that's all, probably, ask if you're interested)))
