Детский отдых Children's rest

Were the first time in Turkey with a child of 4 years. The rest was planned for him in the first place and I can safely say that Concordia is quite suitable for children.
Settlement. We arrived at 12-00, immediately went to have lunch, then came to the reception and we were settled at 13-00. No surcharge. The room is small, clean, everything works, but you need to debug the air conditioner right away so that it doesn’t blow too much. They cleaned 3 times in a week, once I said to myself "come tomorrow" because. the child was sleeping. Left a tip. If the tip is good, then everything is OK, but if it's $ 1, then of course only the towels will be changed and beautifully laid out.
Sea. Clean, sunset - sand and small pebbles, I myself saw how the Turks removed large stones, slippers are not needed. There were really waves, the children were a little scared, but this is not a bay. It is necessary to take a circle or something similar and calmly swim with the child away where there are no waves.

Nutrition. The choice is large, food is added if it ends somewhere in an hour. From meat there is always chicken, there is always fish, there were 1 time lamb, beef and grilled liver, I don’t eat soy. There are plenty of vegetables, fruits are always melon, grapes and orange, plus either apples or watermelon or plums. I don’t drink alcohol at all, once on a Turkish night I was offered a blue cocktail, very tasty. Minus - no usual soups. The Turks do not understand them and do not prepare them. The waiters clean the plates, they always ask "can I? "
Animation. Of course, I was interested in children. I really liked it, two girls from Russia Nastya and Oksana from Ukraine work, they both speak Turkish, and Oksana also knows Georgian, Ukrainian, I am silent about English already. The Turkish animator Balu sometimes sends, of course, but they say that the Turks love such greasy jokes. And the children simply adore him, he sometimes gives them sweets, all sorts of sweets just like that. For children, drawing, bowling, darts, disco in the evening at 21-00:10 songs to which animators teach children to dance and one competition or game every time new - it's all free. For a fee, sand drawing, t-shirt ($15) ranch ($15) Who wrote that without money only drawing is not true, my child (4 years old) brought a diploma in bowling, and dragged the ball with him to the airport! Thank you girls very much. If it weren’t for the free kids club (10:00-12:30 and 15:00-17:00), I wouldn’t be able to lie on the beach or go to the hammam.
Pleased that the Turks in the hotel was 10-20%. After all, they would not go to a bad hotel.
Cons: Turks love tips and we don't really like tipping. Many believe that "everything is already included", many do not take a lot of money with them, some save up for vacations. Hence the attitude.
A separate minus is, shamefully, the attitude of some vacationers in the dining room. They will scoop up full plates of food, then throw it all away. You look, a full plate of french fries is worth it, it’s so simple and 3 people won’t eat it! Hence the complaints of some in line, the lack of forks, etc. To be honest, it’s not very pleasant to watch people simply being afraid that something will not be enough for them. Of course, it can be attributed to the echoes of our Soviet upbringing (I noticed that mainly those who are over 40-45 behave this way). I always had enough of everything, if something can go to take the same fork, it's okay.

Another plus for families with children: an absolutely safe area. My son and I agreed that he would not go to the pool himself, and I could easily let him go to play on the playground, or go to talk with the children, etc. Of course, I didn’t leave him alone, but I didn’t drag him on a leash either. The slides are absolutely safe, near them the pool is about 90 cm, so even the little ones ride. My child even learned to swim there!
In general, I liked the rest, I believe that there are better and worse, of course, the main thing is how to tune in.
