Good day to all! Rested from 06/15/2012 to 06/22/2012. This time the trip was dedicated to our daughter Arisha, 7 years old, as part of the family program "Relax in the summer, gain strength. " Tour operator Tez-tour. The charter was carried out by Donbassaero from Odessa. And where do they get such "polite" stewardesses??
There is nothing special to add about the hotel - a lot has been written, written, fair and beautiful. One can only add that such a village concept is very well implemented and is atypical for Belek, and in general for Turkey, with its desire for mega-hotels. Very cozy! On the left, if you stand facing the sea, more expensive hotels stretch: Adam and Eve, Spice, Voyage Atlantic. To the right - neighboring Arcadia, of the same level and further hotels are cheaper (in the sense of being older and not smarter). This, I think, is the golden mean. In addition, of all the neighboring, I think I will not be mistaken, the best beach. It is the beach strip, clearly the sand is not mixed with pebbles, as to the right or without a deep entry, as to the left, with a lot of shells. We liked the food, I don’t know who might not have enough there? . . Just undisguised all-inclusive gluttony.
The number of rooms is varied. Upon arrival, we were offered and we rejected the standard in building 33 A - the view of the technical facilities and the appearance of the building itself is not impressive. Without question, they changed it to building 16 - a convenient location, a beautiful view from the window, nice... But we still got into a problem with the air conditioner. 3 days (it’s good that it’s not 3 nights), the valiant Turkish air conditioner man tried to revive him by all available methods, but, alas, the condo revived and died... Kaput! – said the verdict air conditioner. For our unfinished life together with the condo, we were offered a bonus superior room with a sea view in building 19. Give - take it! Yes, the room is bigger, there is a shower + a bath, you can see the sea with the neighboring hotel, but keep in mind - it’s more noisy - the music from the neighboring hotel rushes until 2 am, who doesn’t soar - welcome!

What is interesting and incomprehensible. In 5 * of this level there are no bathrobes and slippers (we don’t need them, but for someone it’s an important fact) Misunderstanding with body lotion (body lotion), not to be confused with shower gel. It wasn’t in the rooms, at the reception they said it doesn’t happen at all in the hotel, which is also strange, but it has a place in the maids’ carts... The question is, who is it intended for, if the carts don’t go anywhere from this building and the rooms are all of the same level ? I think foreigners know!
A separate word about the miniclub. For couples with children, of course, this is an opportunity to enjoy a relaxing holiday for a while. In general, everything is on the level, I really liked the staging of the lion king in an interactive mode with the involvement of parents, children, beautiful costumes.
I would like to pay attention to shopping in Belek. After reading a lot of reviews about this and other hotels, you pay attention to the fact that very little space has been given to this issue. So, dear guests, tourists, shopping in Belek has been found. And compared to Antalya or Kemer is much more interesting. It was written that you can get there by tractor (Arina was surprised for a long time by this kind of movement in space), but we preferred a taxi. The price of the issue is only $ 4 one way. Handbag, knitwear, shoe stores were passed. Definitely confectionery. Knitwear is not worth attention neither in price, nor in quality, nor in terms of patterns. But bags, wallets and shoes are a very worthy selection of fakes and Turkish originals at normal prices. Cards are accepted by all stores. There is a good selection of branded sunglasses (prices are cheaper than those from the Emirates). Once again, we were convinced that Turkish sellers are excellent psychoanalysts and feel when you are just wandering around, and when you are really buying. So, when you are a real buyer, and you are not rude to them with imperial pride in your voice, the price drops by half, which is what we wish you. On Saturday, the fair comes to the village somewhere before 16.00. The prices for things are simply ridiculous - the quality is different, you have to look again. There is a small Carryfour not far from the central shopping promenade (ask the locals for where). There, without problems and at fixed prices, you can buy all Turkish sweets.
In general, the desired vacation was received. We piled on the sun, overeat, basked in Turkish hospitality. All the best travel in life!

Announcement! Stay tuned for our feedback on the Bali-Singapore trip in November 2012!
