Очень душевный отдых! Very relaxing vacation!

We really like to relax in Turkey, this year we have been for the third time. To tell the truth, it was not a planned vacation, it was facilitated by four days off in Ukraine and the presence of a very good discount on tours departing from Rostov. While choosing hotels, the tours literally snapped up and missed a few hotels they liked and decided that it was enough to think and booked Vera. Departure through Rostov is certainly inconvenient: it takes a long time to get from Donetsk and the customs is not in a hurry, the departure is daytime, which, moreover, was postponed for another 2 hours without warning. Not pleased with the airline "Orenburg Airlines". The plane is shabby to say the least, the lunch is terrible, the flight attendants are sleepy like flies, and the pilot is very strange. . Okay, let's talk about rest. The three of us flew with my son and husband, the tour cost 1400 USD. e. for 6 days with a surcharge for fuel. Freebie! The hotel was not particularly impressed by the reviews, but it didn’t scare me either, all the responses were positive. . So the location of the hotel is the far side of Belek, closer to Side. Neighboring hotels Crystals on both sides, further Siam, Audebay. Located in the village, close to shops, a local park, cottage villages of Turkish settlements. We arrived late at 19.00 and were delayed at the port due to some boor who did not come to the transfer, leaving by taxi and not warning the guide (what a bitch! . No impressions from the entrance and reception, everything is more than modest and without pathos. We were met well and quickly given a room that completely suited us (building 1.2nd floor windows on building 2), so the suitcase was in the closet and in the restaurant, and there... Turkish night. Restaurant on floor B, as well as the rest of the hotel's infrastructure . The restaurant is small, beautifully decorated, the conder is rather weak, but on the road. . darkness. . we think we’ve got a kick in. . We didn’t look for a free table for a long time. . the choice of dishes is very diverse, I was very surprised by the presence of such a variety of fruits: watermelon, melon, apples 2 -3 kinds, pears, plums 2-3 kinds, peach, nectarine, small banana, orange, grapefruit, kiwi, grapes, cherries. . . a lot of meat and fish, side dishes and salads, pastries and sweets. In general, the food is more than expected. Further, the territory is small, compact, green, everything is smart, nearby, clean, the lighting at night is beautiful and plentiful, the beach is large, clean, the pier is good, the amphitheater with an open area. Snack bar with a large number of tables and a good selection of food. There are 3 bars: the lobby, the pool and the snack bar. In Lobi, the choice of drinks is better, although not ice, of course, Baileys is terrible, you can drink martinis, juices in packs, beer is good, wine is delicious, people also enjoy bread with other alcohol. . we somehow drink more of our vodka. . )) Ice cream in two places (by the pool and by the beach) is given twice an hour during the day and after dinner in a restaurant on the street, without queues and restrictions. Animation, is, big, active, structure - Turks. For the most part, they communicate with foreigners, but all because they do not know Russian. . Yes, and Russians in hotels 1.2 and miscalculated. . very multinational contingent: Germans, Turks, Kosovo, Moldova, Poland, Kazakhstan, England, Slavia, Sweden, France. . in short, the Slavs))) Very good children's animation, which is in charge of our girl (a polyglot knows 4 languages ​ ​ ​ ​ as her own) children love the miniclub very much, everything is organized and actively fun is held for them. I was very surprised by the availability of sunbeds by the pool and on the beach at any time ! ! time, with such a number of people. Here we are lucky we got to the gala night. . a very cool dinner, simply awesome, the performance of our aquatic gymnasts, fireworks, acquaintance with the management, thank you from the lips of the general director. By the way, he is always on site and eats with everyone in the restaurant and walks in the evenings. The weather was great, we got tanned like blacks (on the previous two tans it fell beautifully)) I liked everything very much, it turned out to be a sincere rest.
