And the heart of Disalia is the animation team led by Lasha. You won't be bored. I advise you to visit Disalia Palm Garden.
I don’t know what anyone doesn’t like about food, everything suited us, an excellent choice for the budget five, and during the Turkish night, in general, even too much food. For breakfast, you can drink freshly squeezed juice. The road to the beach is up to 3-4 minutes walk along a shady street between two hotels, there is no trash can and no smells either. The entrance to the sea is really rocky, but the bought slippers saved the situation. During the day, an excellent animation team works, in the evening there are various shows, a mini disco and a disco for adults.
The hotel is located in the village, there are many shops nearby, there are pharmacies, we walked 2.5 km to the shopping center in the village of Konakli, 30-40 minutes on foot or 2 stops on the local minibus. Russians 40/, Ukraine 40/ rest, other foreigners - Poles, Germans, etc. Rest were very pleased with the price / quality principle. In principle, I liked everything - the room, food, animation, service, it is clear that everyone tried.
Of the minuses: the food in the main restaurant is quite monotonous and fresh, of the fruits only watermelon, apples, sometimes melons and grapes, spooky fish (except a la carte restaurant), bad alcohol, sunset rocky, pebble beach, barefoot impossible walk.
In general, we are satisfied with the rest, but suddenly we will not return here.
We will recommend this hotel to our friends.
Benefits:
- clean, clean hands;
- staff is very polite and unobtrusive;
- safe, wi-fi, beach towels, sauna, hammam (compared to others
hotels, even 5 *) - free, although the description states that wi-fi is paid;
- The food is really delicious, even burgers;
- surprised that you can eat around the clock (settled at night, the kitchen was open from 11 pm to 5 am, soups, light snacks);
- animation: twice a week - ethnic performances, 1 lottery, mini disco for children + disco for children under 11 years. The rest of the days - Lasha on the piano;
- beach: nearby, pier - bomb, respectful staff, mattresses and umbrellas are brought immediately, you can eat delicious fast food near the beach (sometimes saved).
Disadvantages:
- There is little animation for children from 10 years old. In the evening, children have nothing to do, they are not interested in listening to the piano.
It would be good for a hotel of this level that every night the animator was engaged in older children (9-13 years) at least two hours after the party: competitions, interesting dances, group games. This is possible even without loud music. In other (less star hotels) such entertainment is present.
- beach: access to the sea is not very convenient for children, there are stones and lunges, then - deep, but without stones. However, if you go further, you can find very beautiful places with perfect beaches and the cleanest sea!
One more remark, but not to the hotel. If you come across the Arif tour guide - be vigilant: telling about the tour what was not; he did not inform us about the transfer of the flight, we had to wait 3 years with already packed speeches. A little irresponsible, so check everything with him yourself.
And have a good rest!
Food: I am sure that you will not stay hungry, every evening on the fire there is either fish or chicken with vegetables, a wide range of breakfasts and lunches, in any case you will find something for yourself. It is also a paradise for the sweet tooth. From 10 am, the aqua zone is given fruits, vegetables, drinks, beer, burgers, hot dogs, fried potatoes, flatbreads and ice cream, the number is not limited. The sea is 150 meters from the hotel and is considered the first line. Among the tourists were Ukrainians, Italians, Poles, Belarusians, Germans; very few Russians. The hotel is more of a family plan, there are many young people, but all with children. Wi-fi in the room, in the dining room, at the pool and of course at the reception, everywhere is of high quality. I was lucky to personally talk with the director of the hotel, I was satisfied after talking with him. To be honest, there are no cons, or I just didn’t look for them.
Initially confused by the distance. The way from the airport to the hotel is not close - 2.5 hours.
But as a result, we hardly noticed them. The bus is very comfortable - with my long legs and already a tummy - it was convenient to stretch my legs and settle down + air conditioning + interesting terrain + I wanted to sleep after a night flight. As they returned back, they also did not notice the time. Children were traveling with us on the bus - they were not embarrassed either)))
At the hotel, the suitcases were processed, the temperature was checked, the bracelets were immediately put on and asked to wait. We arrived around 11 am - the room was not yet ready. But the staff said to come later - maybe it will be ready before 14.00, which eventually happened. It was given to us within an hour.
The room is large, clean, bright - in general, everything is as it should be, everything is in its place.
Cleaning every day, water too, towels are also changed every day, if you are careful and read the conditions on the walls, that in order to replace them you need to throw them on the floor in the bathroom. But even without this, they changed us every day. After arrival, on the same day, we needed cleaning (a lot of garbage gathered from this stretch film, etc. ) - when we went to the beach, we just pressed the cleaning button - everything was removed.
Shampoo and shower gel are replenished at the end.
Food is awesome! the choice is huge! There were both meat and fish in different versions. Salads, appetizers, sweets - generally keep quiet.
Snack bars certainly surprised and pleased. Very tasty hot dogs, hamburgers, nuggets, pizza and french fries. There were also spaghetti with salads - but they didn’t try it, somehow they didn’t get around to it. Ice cream - very tasty, in assortment, in unlimited quantities, in individual packaging, and not by weight.
Well, sweets are served cookies from 16.00.
For drinks: in the morning - fresh orange. Juices also surprised - not all were artificial, as in Egypt their Yuppi. Cherry, apple and pineapple, as for me, were the most delicious. For my taste - coffee is delicious, tea too. Pepsi, their Turkish Fanta and Sprite, mineral water - everything is tasty and in large glasses, at the bar - in glass containers
As for alcohol, I can’t tell you the taste, but my husband liked their beer and cocktails. Imported alcohol was, but paid.
Fruits - the choice is small: watermelons, melons, apples - but this was enough for us, against the background of other sweets. Especially in the morning, take Turkish delight or their halva with coffee - you will lick your fingers!
By the way, initially I was embarrassed by the information that everything was peppered. Not true. There is a choice, besides, the guys who impose food can be asked again about this - they almost all understand Russian.
And peppered it is not so hot, but of course it will not work for kids. So please clarify.
The chef personally controls the food and the correct serving of dishes in the restaurant. You can always watch him in a restaurant, especially during dinner.
About a beach holiday.
Again - it was embarrassing that it was not quite the first line, it seems like you have to go, and the territory in the hotel is small.
The territory is small - but so compact and comfortable - that it did not bother. Pool and sunbeds enough for everyone - both adults and children.
Go to the sea for a maximum of 5 minutes, and besides, with bellies stuffed with food, we were only happy about this. The beach area is small, but not small. Sunbeds 160 plus more, those on the pier. But we were surprised that there was almost no one there. So we had a big choice. Beach boy - was always ready to give us mattresses and an extra umbrella. The mattresses are treated with an antiseptic, the beds are damp from washing in the morning. There are pebbles on the beach. There is an entry from the pier.
The reviews were embarrassing - that there is a rocky entry, there are stone slabs right there and we were more inclined to sit near the pool or on the shore, but we were surprised that there were no plates, there are large stones - but they are smooth, not sharp - so you can safely go in without being afraid. On the contrary, we jumped on the waves. This did not bother the kids either, since at the very beginning of the coast there is almost everything - sand. Well, in extreme cases - there are neighboring beaches from where no one drives, you can safely enjoy your vacation.
Entertainment
This is a family friendly hotel. In connection with the quarantine - animation until 10 pm and every other day. And for those who like to hang out until the morning, the hotel takes them to a disco in the city, under their supervision. We did not go - but we heard that the guys were happy.
A couple of times a week, their chief animator Lasha plays the piano. You can listen to it and sing along with it. He is always glad to willing vocalists.
The staff is smart. All smiling, unobtrusive. I really liked Nargiza, their tourism manager. Come up to her - she will sign up for the A la carte restaurant and help organize a holiday. I had a DR - the hotel presented a bottle of wine and macaroons. And she helped her husband find flowers for me))
Also for me was a huge plus - the ubiquitous Wi-Fi. And a good one, not one that disappears everywhere. The only thing - for some reason, calls on Viber did not pull out. But we forgot that there are also other applications - Telegram, for example))).
I recommend the hotel, definitely. If possible, we'll take a look!
We left 1 dollar every day and they cleaned us every day, we liked everything. I’ll note that we were given a triple room for two, I don’t know why, well, it was normal for us) the TV set was working, I watched Euro 2020 football on it. how. Free safe, plenty of hangers, hand/foot towels, etc. Mini-bar, upon check-in, 2 bottles, Pepsi 0.25, and their local Fanta 0.25, as well as mineral water 0.25. All for 2 bottles. And daily they replenished the water, 2 bottles of 0.5 each. The room itself is renovated, everything is working, air conditioning, everything is fine, everything is fine. Restaurant 1, and 1 A la carte, you can sign up once for the rest, we went, ate, it was delicious. The restaurant is full of food and dofiga, everyone will like it, the only thing is that the food is sometimes peppery, well, this is already a local feature.
The food was so delicious that I won’t even list it, no one will be hungry for sure, and I still gained +3 kg after the rest) there are 2 food courts 1 on the territory and one on the beach. Works from 12.00 to 16.00. given daily 1) Hamburger 2) Hod-dog (from normal sausages, not from paper ones like in Egypt) 3) Pizza 4) Nagesta 5) French fries 6) Pasta 7) Some salads (did not take) 8) Tortillas ( I didn’t take it either) 9) Watermelon 10) Ice cream. Ask why I listed it? ) Sometimes I indulge myself with this muck in Kyiv, but here everything is so tasty, and in any quantity))) and most importantly, it never ended) ice cream for the children for the holiday. There are 5 types, they give clearly from 12 to 16, and never ends, as sometimes in other hotels!
5 bars. 1) Lobby bar (from 10.00 to 2.00 at night) pour all drinks (Pepsi, beer, whiskey, gin tonic, wine) into glass glasses 0.3 and 0.33. I didn’t really like wine, but beer and whiskey and cola were okay. 2) Pool bar (10.00 to 00.00) has everything, poured into plastic glasses with a capacity of 0.4 (which is cool compared to Egyptian hotels and their disposable cups) 3) Bar at the food court (snack bar) 11.30 - 17.00 4) Bar on the beach (10.00-18.00) at the last 2 bars only beer / sweet water, coffee / tea 5) Bar in the restaurant. At the time of the restaurant's robots, soft drinks in the morning, orange natural fresh juice, this is fire! During lunch and dinner, you can take absolutely all types of drinks in the bar in the restaurant in glasses of 0.3 and 0.33 (as in the lobby bar).
Wi-fi is super, catches throughout the hotel! In the lobby a little better than everywhere else, well, okay. YouTube / all sorts of videos, etc. catches great. Send photos via Viber, send instant Wi-Fi free throughout the hotel! This is a plus! 3 pools, children's animation is, all entertainment until 22.00. It might get boring after that. The hotel is recommended for families with children, older people, or for a relaxing holiday. Or for the company, since the bar is until 2 am on the all-inclusive system !!! ) And yet, they pour as much as you ask, there is no redneck, everyone smiles. In all bars, in addition to alcohol, there is also mineral water for free. Orange fresh juice is only for the mornings, as I wrote, the rest of the juices, like in Egypt, although Yuppi - well, cherry is the best! I recommend! All drinks are cold, there was no heartburn. The attitude of the staff is great, everything is not intrusive.
Beach. Really 3 minutes walk. But go smoothly, no underground / ground crossings, or elevated paths up / down, but on the contrary, everything is close. And believe me, going to the sea is even faster than in some 5 * hotels in Egypt, located on the 1st line. And not such a bad beach as they write about it. Advice, buy or bring coral slippers with you. There are pebbles at the entrance, if the stones are only at the beginning of the water, then the sea is normal, without stones / slabs, etc. , well, I swam with a bang!! ! You can walk around the shops from the hotel. Monday and Thursday, Lasha (chief animator) plays the piano and sings, cool) Great for free, you can ride. I liked the hotel 1000000%. There will be questions write! Although the hotel is small/compact, it is definitely worth going there! No wonder it is called one of the best hotels in Konakli!
