So:
1. Golf course - sooooo close, right on foot in 3 minutes you can walk, or you can get there (for free))). The field is chic, interesting, in the middle of eucalyptus, pine and other Mediterranean vegetation).
2. The hotel itself is a bit old, yes, BUT! But it is green, well-groomed, nice area with flowers, bushes, oranges, wonderful cats (very kind), chic clean, thick lawn in the beach area, so well-groomed lawn that it seems like a carpet! Comfortable sun loungers. The beach is wide, well-planned, there is no crowding.
2. Numbers. Standard, not small, the hotel is partially undergoing renovation of the rooms, but the noise has never been heard. The bathroom has all accessories. There are also bathrobes and slippers.
3. Nutrition. I really liked it too. Many dishes are sauteed, which our (Russian) tourists often noted, because many are accustomed to just such food at home. Kebabs, grilled sea bream, trout - every day I was noticed and eaten).
4. Alcohol. Rose wine and champagne are my favorites in this hotel. They say beer is decent too, but I don't drink it.
5. I would especially like to mention the reception staff - Lilia and Gestrilation Rima! Beautiful girls, they helped on all issues, reacted quickly and immediately fulfilled our whims, namely whims), for example, the mattresses seemed to us to be hard - no question, they immediately replaced them with others, softer ones. There is a pillow menu, by the way. The child also needed special cooked food - no question. One tourist from the group needed special porridge - also not a question. Yes, and many more small requests, or rather whims, I was pleasantly surprised that everything was decided right away !! ! In general, many thanks to these lovely and beautiful girls - Lila and Rima.
Outcome: Will we return to Kaya Belek? - Definitely yes!
SETTLEMENT
We arrived at noon. At the reception, we were greeted in unison, while we were checking in, glasses of cool juice were brought to us. Our suitcases were carried by a specially trained person to the room))) *be prepared for the fact that you will have to give this person a dollar as a tip*
ROOM
There were 4 of us so we asked for a room with 2 rooms. The rooms are spacious, clean, bright, we had a view of the neighboring hotel and the sea) It may be that the room may not be cleaned for a day or the cleaning time does not suit you, in this case, go to the reception and ask to solve the problem. WiFi catches rather weakly, but you can find points where it will catch well.
RESTAURANT
there you can find whatever your heart desires.
For breakfast for children there are cereals, cereals with milk and even children's plates with pictures) for lunch soups, mashed potatoes, desserts, and dinner differs every time with its menu)) Some dishes can be spicy, so be careful.
TERRITORY
Large swimming pool, divided into children's and adult areas, without transitions. There is a water park, small but healthy. Lots of greenery and places for photos.
BEACH
good, clean, sand, near the sea there is a small tracing paper, but it is a little bit, walking on the sand in beach shoes, because it is hot. Warm water.
EVENTS
every day you can play volleyball on the beach, no matter if you are a beginner or a pro. There are various interesting competitions in the pool. There is children's football, water polo and so on. The same is true for adults. I can’t say anything about the kids club because we didn’t go there.
ANIMATION
well, 3 out of 5 takes 15 minutes, but the playlist is interesting) There are parties for adults.
SERVICE
in the restaurant, all dirty dishes are cleaned very quickly, they take care of the guests, if something breaks or spills, they immediately clean it. Photographers are generally a separate issue. These are the best photographers! High-quality photo session, good photos and an album for them, the price can be negotiated.
WHERE TO WALK
The land of legends theme park is next to the hotel. I advise you to visit. Both children and adults will like it there. You can read more on the websites. For souvenirs, you can walk or drive to Kadri Bazaar. There I advise you to visit a cozy shop with lamps and teas. Souvenirs are 3 times more expensive at the hotel, so I advise you to buy everything at the market) If you take a taxi from the hotel, please note that the taxi driver will take you to the store where you will have to buy something, “otherwise you won’t go to the hotel” Here is the trick : at the end of the bazaar there are buses and taxis that will take you exactly to the place.
I hope the answer turned out to be constructive, I would go there again) Enjoy your stay in kaya belek.
I do not want to turn the review into a complaint, but objectively the disadvantages are as follows:
The reception (reception) practically does not deal with the issues of Russian tourists. When placing simply racketeering methods, they squeeze out money
The rooms are not fresh, the staff kept forgetting to bring a towel, duvet cover, water, etc.
The territory, although it has landscaping, but there is practically no shade,
Catering: to drink coffee on the beach, the whole problem is to go to the bar by the pool, the same with ice cream, we ordered drinks on the beach several times, they never brought it,
They don’t allow anything with you when you go on an excursion, but the day is paid,
These are just the main disadvantages to which we must add that the restaurant has 1 entrance, one exit to the sea and everything is located so that a person would have to expend the maximum amount of effort to receive this or that bonus.
In fairness, I want to note the positive features of the hotel:
Diverse and not very bad cuisine,
Suitable for wheelchairs, which facilitates the arrival of families with children and people with disabilities.
Summing up, I will say the following: I will not come to this hotel, I will not recommend it to my friends and I will leave information on the tour operator's website for potential guests: WARNING, NOT TO VISIT.
The hotel is family, there will be no party here. Rest families with children and adults. There were a couple of young guys, we also include ourselves among them. We don't have children, we wanted a quiet holiday. It takes about 30-40 minutes to get from the airport. Upon arrival at the reception, we were greeted with non-alcoholic cocktails, a Russian-speaking girl settled us within 10 minutes. When we drove from the airport, we saw an insane number of beautiful hotels, and when we drove up to ours, I adjusted a little. He is somehow inconspicuous and I already thought that the rest was ruined. But when we went in, the attitude and attentiveness of the staff quickly fixed everything. We have a room with a sea view on the 5th floor, the room is not large, 1 single bed and one 2x, but in fact it is like a lorry. Large balcony with table and 2 chairs.
Tall people need to be careful, as the ceiling on the balcony is low and the husband hit his head a couple of times. After looking around the room and throwing things off, we went for lunch. In the restaurant we were again met by a Russian-speaking girl, she showed us everything and told us, and then we went nuts from the amount of food. Meat - chicken, turkey, beef in a variety of variations. A lot of vegetables stewed, baked, mashed. Very tasty rice, pasta, fish, pasta and much more, even with all the desire, even half will not be able to try. There are several types of cheeses, olives, vegetables, salads, and an incredible amount of desserts. The cake is simply divine. Be sure to try the Turkish pita and gozleme. Pizza - we did not like it, they have a strange sausage, we did not really go. Breakfasts are all variations with eggs. Cheeses, sausages, pretzels, tortillas, you will find something for yourself in any case. As for spices: nothing spicy, peppery, etc. Everything is moderate
they make a very tasty mojito) but I spent the rest of the rest with tea))) about the animators. These are guys with crazy energy, they entertain people from morning until late at night. Volleyball on the beach, water aerobics in the pool, water polo, various shows in the theater in the evening, then live music and they are trying how they can get the crowd that sits on phones or thumps, like the last time. And after that, is it worth saying that there is no animation? Today there was a show, my husband and I sat on the top rows and watched how people couldn’t even clap, they were sitting on their phones. Or when they cannot put their children in a place. The guys perform different tricks and then a child runs out. The girl from the animators ran the whole show after the children, put them in their places and asked the parents not to let the children go, and exactly 2 minutes later the same child runs near the stage. The show is on, people get up from their seats and go to the bar to drink,
Well, is it really impossible to sit for 30 minutes and wait until the show is over or get up and leave during the conversation of the presenter? ! Why do not give a damn about other people who look at the animators who try and entertain. And then someone wants a normal about wearing to himself? Yes, in this hotel lick from head to toe!! ! Everyone is friendly, everyone smiles, absolutely everyone from the staff greets !! ! We never gave a tip, but even without that we were served on a level with everyone, and there were Germans and Turks, Arabs, Ukrainians, and so on in the hotel. Our room was cleaned every day, of course the floors were not washed, but when they hung a sign on the door asking us to clean the room, the floors were washed, bed linen, towels, etc. were replaced by our arrival. They also laid out a heart made of towels with flowers on the bed. If you are looking for a relaxing family holiday then this is the place for you. And for those who write that this is not 5 stars, then go to rixos for 200 thousand or similar hotels.
We will come back here for sure!! ! I didn’t give 10 points only because of the Wi-Fi, it works, but intermittently. It works perfectly in the lobby, well, repairs would not hurt, although we didn’t see anything critical, we only slept and swam in the room, spent the rest of the time on the territory, so it didn’t matter to us. Everything worked, everything was clean. Bed linen, by the way, is a separate huge plus, boiling white and as if starched! In general, our vacation was a success)))
so that you understand, at 5 it was not crowded for us, the staff provided for everything, everyone had a bed + a crib for an infant. Of course, the baby didn’t want to sleep in the crib, the three of us slept on a double bed, but the two bed was big. The mattresses are good, there are no stains anywhere, mattress toppers are everywhere, I would like to say separately about the pillows, I see this for the first time. Attention there is a menu of pillows! Orthopedic with memorial foam (just super), feather quill, microfiber pillow, and pillow with silicone balls, also written what each does. We had huge pillows upon check-in, very uncomfortable, a call to the reception and after 10 minutes they brought orthopedic pillows. Be prepared for the fact that if you ask in Russian, they will not understand you, (or rather, they will pretend) ask in English. The bathroom has towels, liquid soap, shower gel, washcloth, cotton swabs, cotton pads. If you need room slippers (parquet in the room), bathrobes, toothbrush and toothpaste,
then feel free to call the reception desk, they will bring you everything, they even brought a razor and shaving gel to my husband. You can also ask for a potty for a child, we asked but didn’t understand the roofing felts, in general they didn’t bring it. The room was on the 1st floor with a side sea view, I booked for 2-3 and at first we were upset, but unexpectedly we found a huge plus, because the room is located above the lobby in the room with excellent Wi-Fi. At night, the air conditioner is noisy downstairs and buzzes, plus crows yell in the morning. So if the children are a light sleeper, take the odd numbers, the even numbers go out to Kaya Palacio. Cleaning in the room is normal, it happens every other day, but it's worth paying tribute: the maid quickly remembered when the child was sleeping and tried to clean on time. Textiles are top notch as always. Noise isolation is weak. To post a lot of video numbers on youtube. Further. The territory of the water park is not very large, but everything is thought out for children, I would like to say separately about the pool in the form of a pirate ship with slides,
I also posted a video on youtube, otherwise the review turns out to be huge, there are adult pools they wrote a lot about them, everything is clean, they constantly take care of the territory. The beach is large, but I see such dark sand for the first time, because of this, all the beauty of the sea is lost, and you also encounter the strange behavior of many people (Slavs), they throw towels, but they themselves are not there until the evening, you come and the picture: everything is busy, but a lot of people no. Beach. Sand, little pebbles, smooth sunset for children, paradise, magic water, a lot of fish. Swimming is better closer to Kaya Palacio, there are fewer people. Food. You can write about food for a long time, everyone has their own preferences, so I’ll say this: you can’t try a lot of everything, at first you want everything, but then everyone will find their favorite dish. Briefly. For breakfast, omelettes are different with vegetables / sausage, eggs in all variations, sausages, several types of ham, several types of sausage, olives, black olives, delicious cheeses, a sea of pastries,
for children there are three milk porridges - rice, oatmeal, semolina. There is cream soup. there is also a video about breakfast. Lunch and dinner are similar, there are a lot of things, but I would like to note that there is always seafood, several types of the freshest fish (trout, bye, mackerel, sea bass, sea bream), crab salad just a song and mussel salad, sauté ed seafood with shrimp, mussels and squid, separately squid rings, saute vegetables from lamb, beef, chicken (alternate) you can safely give them to children, they are not peppery, but in general you need to try everything yourself, but the meat is seasoned with many spices, spicy, there are mashed potatoes and Definitely a masterpiece. Many types of pizza, pide, pasta, and sauces for them, cream soups. A huge number of vegetables, vegetable salads from tomatoes and cucumbers to various variations with them + there is a separate table with pickled vegetables. Sauce, and salad with mayonnaise.
There is also a diet food all without salt and oil, there are boiled vegetables, cereals, potatoes, boiled turkey. Dear moms, if you are looking for the soup you are used to, you will find it in the pasta section for lunch and dinner called spaghetti soup, in our opinion it is chicken vermicelli soup, very good. Try cream soups, they are delicious, but tomato soup is very sour and there is soup with mint after it, my daughter flatly refused cream soups. There are a lot of fruits, watermelon, nectarines (sour ones come across), plums, cherries / strawberries, melons, apricots, apples, tangerines, bananas, pears, grapefruits. Bread for every taste, in the morning Fresh orange juice for free, the rest of the juices are like yuppies, I didn’t give the children. Plenty of cocktails and milkshakes, including picut gezmele on the beach. You can’t take it out with you, but since the children are sometimes capricious, then they bathe and hungry you can take cookies and fruits, no one will say anything. You can take water and ayran. Saturday fish day
a lot of Turkish-style sushi, and they baked a huge salmon, very tasty, the children ate, and they were also brought. for lunch and dinner there is chilled white and red wine. if you speak English well, they will bring very good wine, ask in a green bottle, one of the best wines in Turkey, served to your own and only to foreigners. Girls, I’ll tell you right away about mashed potatoes, because Many children love it, mashed potatoes are here, this is our mivina, it’s powdered, if you want to take potatoes in the dietary department, add butter and crush. It's all about little kids. Oh, and there’s a lot of fast food, all of us love it, it’s a hamburger, french fries, for us it’s not food, sometimes once a month it’s possible, but for the sake of justice I’ll say that they fry in fresh oil and constantly change it. There is also Chinese cuisine, but we did not try it. I would like to once again note the quick service and snow-white tablecloths, clean plates and glasses, as well as cutlery. Animation. IT IS NOT.
especially for children!! ! For all the time the children were not approached not once !!!! ! I’ll say that we didn’t want to push the children away, it’s just that my daughter makes applications and sculpts with pleasure, and here it is... MINI DISCO. It’s a shame for the children, two sad and lethargic girls and a man who obviously doesn’t like children very much, always chased the children off the stage because the stage is for them (((the music is very specific woodpecker Woody scared the children, the music is different from duck dance to Turkish, for children in principle, I like it, it’s boring, but for children from 8 years old, it’s like that in general... There is a trampoline, please, parents are very careful! ! I'm not responsible!!! Don't let the child out of sight if it's small, in general, many parents stick to the trampoline, from the side they came to the zoo and stuck to the cage with the monkeys. Adult animation is not intrusive,
very interesting in the pool, the guys held far outstanding competitions, it was interesting, water aerobics is carried out in the sea. Since the room overlooks the neighboring hotel, you can hear and see the chic animation (((The amphitheater is still very dirty, they don’t clean it at all, and they also don’t have time to clean the public toilets. Now I’ll say about the attitude towards the Russians just like that because for the Turks there is no difference Ukrainian, Belarusian, we are all Russians for them, and so the hotel is 90 inhabited by Russians and a few Turks, but indeed the Turks are more loyal, but maybe we ourselves are to blame? As a result, the hotel is beautiful, the sunset is beautiful, the food is good, but there is no desire to return, there is no soul at the hotel, everyone is trying in the restaurant, but the animation, neglect of children spoil everything very much. Waiters communicate more with children than animators where are the animators?
Finally, a few tips, if you eat with a small child, take a couple of instant cereals with you, even if he already eats everything, believe me, water is another different unusual taste of food, at first the children refuse, then everything will work out, so cereals, as a fallback option. Secondly, before giving a child, try a lot of spicy foods, especially meat, if you are not sure, don’t give it, believe me, even such a trifle as bloating in a child will spoil the rest decently. 3. If you want to eat more or less calmly, take a tablet with you, a phone with your child’s favorite cartoons, by the way, the deeper you sit in a restaurant, the better the Internet. It is better to have breakfast and lunch in a restaurant where it is nice and cool, you can dine outside. Don't forget sunscreen. And be sure to take a good mood and a sedative with you just in case))) I'm not saying that I'm just delighted or upset,
the hotel is good, family, I recommend it if you don’t need anything other than food and the sea. , and the animation is not important. We got a pleasant stay and expected more.
Dear hotel administrator, if you want to be in the top and not lose your reputation, put things in order with the animators!! ! Especially for children!! ! This is unacceptable for a 5 star hotel!
We just arrived, the flight was difficult, the children all got sick, IN THE HOTEL from the 1-3rd floor, almost all the children are sick, high unrelenting temperature, purulent Angina in children (((I can’t say that the hotel is to blame, because I am well acquainted with medicine I can say that this particular bacterial infection was brought by someone (who can only guess, staff or tourists) this is not a virus, it is necessary to contact specifically in order to get infected, elevators are common children like to press buttons, handrails, etc. everything that is possible touch and put your hands in your mouth and say hello.
And all will be well.
I will never come here again in my life! People don't spoil your holiday with this hotel!
P. S. I forgot! The bed in the room is small. One and a half.
They meet us with an individual transfer in a comfortable car, after contacting the hotel and agreeing on the cost. There were never any problems with settling in.
The rooms are cozy, they have everything: bathrobes, slippers, kettle, tea coffee, mini-bar full of soft drinks, free of charge.
The food is varied, for any age, fed around the clock.
The beach is great. There are no problems with sunbeds.
Variety of rich programs. In general, I wish everyone a great stay in this wonderful hotel!
P. S. I did not observe patients with a rash. Advice: observe elementary sanitary standards on vacation in the East, and you will all be happy.
