Hello!
A lot has been written about the hotel, so from words, straight to the point.
HOLIDAY PERIOD
From 03.06. 2011 to 12.06. 2011. Together with my son, 7 years old.
FLIGHT
TEZ TOUR, Boeing 747, from Sheremetyevo-F, 3 hours 30 minutes, everything is clear and without delay.
TRANSFER
We drove to the hotel for about 1 hour 30 minutes, our hotel was the fifth in line.
SETTLEMENT
Fast, efficient, clear. Literally 10 minutes after filling out the questionnaire, they gave out the keys to the room. The receptionist refused $ 20, vigilantly informing me that I forgot the money in my passport : -) It seems that someone has already written, but just in case I repeat, arriving guests at the hotel are greeted with champagne and Turkish delight.
ROOM
The room was good. Main building, 2nd floor, good view of the pool-sea-building of the neighboring hotel. BUT! Somewhat noisy, especially on Fridays when there were shows after the Gala Dinner followed by a disco on the platform by the pool. The room has everything you need.
We had room 1246 - it had 2 beds (just one bed in some rooms), LCD-TV, kettle, tea and coffee set, there is plastic furniture on the balcony (table and 2 chairs). Mini-bar daily: cola, fanta, sprite, beer, mineral water without gas, mineral water with gas. Soap accessories - shower gel, shampoo, hair conditioner, all in olive oil. There were also raincoats - raincoats (during our vacation there were sometimes short rains). If suddenly someone for some reason does not like the pillows in the room, then they can be replaced by informing the maid about your desire. As it turned out, there are about 5 types of pillows. But we did not change the pillows, we were satisfied with those that were originally in the room.
NUTRITION
Solid five. But at the end of the holiday, it was already beginning to become boring.
For breakfast - everything is as always: pancakes (thin), waffles, pancakes, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, sausages, sausages, porridge, puff pies, a variety of vegetables, fresh herbs, a good selection of cheeses (including with mold), various cereals, honey in combs, fresh orange juice in a cooler (but it seemed somehow strange to us - that is, something similar to a mix of yuppies with fresh juice, but I could be wrong), good pastries. Orange juice (served only for breakfast) can be poured from the cooler, coffee-tea from the machine. The rest of the drinks are ordered from the waiters - orders are not always brought quickly, but a $ 1-2 tip will speed up the process; -) The waiters always have several types of packaged juices, wine, water and so on.
For lunch, a good selection of grilled dishes. From what I remember - trout, tuna, sea bass, lamb, beef, chicken, kebab. Delicious side dishes, vegetables and herbs are always fresh, not sluggish. Pizza, cakes with cheese are baked by a chef to the right of the entrance to the restaurant.
Dinner is an abundance of different dishes. You can't list everything!
All in all, the food was excellent.
On a daily basis, the chef was seen walking around the main restaurant, personally controlling the entire process and the availability of dishes.
We also liked the ice cream.
Good selection of fruits. Daily presence: watermelon, melon, nectarines, apricots, medlar, apples, bananas, green plums (did not try it). We were given cherries 2 times.
Excellent fresh juices - 5 types (all day long in the Vitamin bar).
I can also mention the guzelme cakes in a Turkish restaurant - we liked both meat and cheese. Also tried the pizza there - not bad! Good rich ayran. Here is Turkish ice cream.
BEACH
The beach is quite large pebbles, it is uncomfortable to enter the sea without slippers, but there is an entry into the sea from the pier. The beach itself is small, the sunbeds are almost close to each other. The place on the first line was occupied at about 7-7.30. After 9-9.30 it was problematic to find free sunbeds on the sea.
I also want to note that both on the beach and on the pier, some ladies sunbathed topless.
SEA
What to say? I will be objective and tell everything as it is. I went out to take a sunbed at 7 in the morning - at that time the sea was magnificent. Clean, transparent, warm, gentle. It's time for a swim.
BUT AFTER 10 HOURS, THE SAME HAPPENED - ON THE SURFACE OF THE WATER, FOAM OF UNCOMPLETE ORIGIN WAS FORMED, GARBAGE, PACKAGES, BOUCHES APPEARED ...AND IN PLACES SWIMMED, SORRY-POOP! ! !
AND IT HAPPENED EVERY DAY!! ! ! In my opinion, it all looked like sewage drains, or emissions from yachts (near Kemer), but I won’t say.
Sometimes all this was resolved, more often - by 15 o'clock, and the sea seemed to become clean again. But there was one day, I think it was 08.06. (those who were resting at this time will not let you lie) that after lunch it was simply impossible to go into the sea - FOAM, GARBAGE, DIRT, WASTE !! ! !
All vacationers with children urgently relocated to the pools with sea water in the water park. Unfortunately, there were not enough seats for everyone, and some simply threw things on the floor or on the grass.
People, of course, were indignant, turned to GUEST RELATIONS with dissatisfaction and questions. Irina, an employee of GUEST RELATIONS (by the way, a very nice girl, she will always help, tell) explained that the hotel management is concerned about this problem, and they will conduct a check along the coast in order to find out where emissions or discharges occur.
Indeed, after a while, several employees appeared, who, with tense faces, walked along the pier and examined the accumulated dirt on the sea.
Here is the only, but FAT MINUS, which we discovered during our stay at the hotel. And yet it’s very disappointing that when you came to the sea with a child, you had to sit almost constantly near the pool, albeit with sea water.
POOLS.
We rested for the most part in the Aqua Park, near the pools with sea water. We have never swum in the large pool near the main building, so I can’t say anything about it. But we liked the pools in the Aqua Park. While the children frolic on the slides, you could watch them, basking in the Jacuzzi: -) By the way, the slides are not bad, the joints are completely even, no torn swimming trunks. But for adults, the slides are still too small.
ANIMATION.
For those who wish - volleyball, yoga, water aerobics, step aerobics, boccia. All in all, don't get bored.
Water aerobics and POOL GAMES are held in the Aqua Park pool. The animators are polite, friendly, they invite you to participate in competitions, but they don’t impose anything on anyone.
We visited almost all evening performances - professional groups perform, the level of which is very good. The child especially liked the performance of the magicians, the acrobatic show, the Mongolian circus (the little acrobat boy is SOMETHING!!! ).
And I really liked the Gala evening with the removal of ice cream cake and the samba show. Everything is quite bright and colorful. The artists are professional.
The "Woody Bar" has live music in the evenings - we were only once, but we liked it. The repertoire was not bad, designed more for European tastes - Joe Cocker, Elton John, Sting ...
MINI CLUB.
I couldn't say enough about the mini-club. Classes are held on the playground near the Turkish restaurant, and in the children's pool near the aqua park, and in the games room in the main building. On Fridays at 15 o'clock, the mini club rides on a banana, the cost is $10. It should be noted that Yvonne works wonderfully with children - everything is from the heart, and not just for show. Everyone who went to the mini-club was satisfied. My child was delighted and still remembers Yvonne. Yvonne, hello and special thanks to you!
TERRITORY.
I won’t write much, because everything has already been written many times before me. Competently, green, well-groomed, everything is nearby.
SERVICE.
Everything is on the level.
Reception, GUEST RELATIONS, maids, cleaners, gardeners - all great. The waiters try to please, but a $1-2 tip will do the trick, and you will always have a table cleared and drinks served at lightning speed.
A LA CARTE RESTAURANTS.
The hotel has 5 restaurants A LA CART - Turkish, fish, French, barbecue, Italian. You can sign up for them at GUEST RELATIONS, preferably from 9 am. The French restaurant is especially popular, so those who certainly want to visit it, sign up in advance and come to GUEST RELATIONS by 9 am, as places are limited.
We have been to the BBQ and the French restaurant with children. In some review I read that they refused to sign someone up in a restaurant with children, but this fate has passed us.
I liked the French Restaurant better than the BBQ. The French restaurant is located in the main building, on the ground floor, to the left of the reception. The dishes we ordered there were delicious and beautifully presented.
The "notorious" frog legs didn't seem to be anything special, the usual chicken : -) Desserts were exquisitely decorated, the waiters in the restaurant were polite and tactful.
The Barbecue restaurant is located on the street, not far from the large pool. Barbecue was also good, but hungry cats are constantly spinning there, begging for food from restaurant visitors. One cat tried to jump on my child - not fatal, of course, but not very pleasant either. The presentation of the dishes was also excellent and the taste was good.
All in all, I highly recommend these two restaurants!
I want to say that in general we had a good rest! Met wonderful people. Sveta, Pasha, Maksik, Margarita Alexandrovna and Grisha, if you read my review, BIG HELLO to everyone ! ! !
But still, a SMALL FLYING POINT - the hotel management needs to urgently solve the problem with emissions into the sea! ! ! People travel with children from afar.
They want to swim in a clean and transparent sea, for this reason, in fact, they choose KEMER. But many children with great pleasure jump from the pier into the sea (I saw it myself), and involuntarily swallow water - and SUCH swims in it ! ! ! Somehow not good...
SUMMARY: With pleasure we will come again, but only if the situation with the sea changes for the better.
ALL HAVE A GOOD REST!
