Почти рай для детей и взрослых Almost a paradise for children and adults

I apologize for not posting a review sooner. On the site, a reproach was made to me, they say, you give advice - but there are no reviews! Maybe it's true, I'll fix it! You can’t tell about all the hotels and countries (I have been traveling since 1993), but I’ll start about the latter, perhaps! I am a meticulous tourist, I chose the hotel for a long time and carefully, I booked it 4 months in advance, back in February. Someone will say, why not even earlier? I answer - for the first time they took a 3-year-old granddaughter with them, what a responsibility! Therefore, after a multi-day marathon, according to sites and reviews, the choice fell on Club Boran Mare Beach 5 * HV-1, located in the town of Goynuk near Kemer, 50 km from the airport. We rested from June 5 to June 18, consisting of: grandmother (me), grandfather and granddaughter 3 years old. We still do not consider ourselves "old people" (45-47 years old), so we did not expect peace and quiet from the hotel. Yes, this hotel is perfect for families with preschool and a little older children.
And right away, moving on to emotions, I don’t understand why a mother vacationing with a 5-year-old child negatively compares the hotel with a kindergarten, there are supposedly too many children. So after all, we went to the "kindergarten"! Almost everyone knows about this in advance, who book this hotel for 2-4 months! A lot of dissatisfied food. In general, it is not clear what people eat in their kitchens every day if they don’t like the food either? Yes, there is not enough meat (for lunch), there are no chops, lobsters, pineapples, etc. But, dear ones, who declares here with aplomb "this is not 5 *", let's remember that everything is known in comparison! ! ! Have you been to 5 * Alanya, which barely reach the "three rubles"? And by the size of the territory, and by nutrition? Probably not! Then, probably, you are frequenters of hotels of the Amara and Rixos chain and got here by mistake? So after all, these hotels are almost 2 times more expensive than Boran! Yes, Boran Mare is not cheap, it has its drawbacks. What hotels don't have them?
Out of interest, read the reviews about De Lux hotels, it turns out that it is "hungry and cold" there. Let's not forget that the lion's share of the price of the tour is the FLIGHT! For me, the amount of $ 3.600 that I paid for the hotel back in February is also rather big. The budget did not allow me to get to the hotels of Kemer, where I originally wanted to go (Antedon, Zigan Club, Amara Club Marine) (all of the above hotels are much more expensive). When I chose a hotel according to my financial capabilities (thanks to everyone who writes reviews), the main criteria were: CLEAN, conditions for children, compact territory, good, high-quality, albeit without delicacies, food. I do not understand those people who write that "there is no place to walk"! Yes, walk along the main alley, along the paths between the houses, along the promenade on the beach, and your baby is unlikely to want to continue the walk! Or take a walk outside the territory to the village - informative and interesting!

Here you would be settled in the outer buildings of some hotel with an area of ​ ​ ​ ​.10, 000 square meters. m, then we would walk along the route number-beach-room-restaurant, etc. for the most "I don't want" with a small child! While I am writing everything is somewhat chaotic, away from emotions! , I'll try in order.

ACCOMMODATION. Traveled with TO Anex Tour. It was he who offered the lowest price for this hotel. Everything is great. Departures were arranged according to the time: early morning (there) and late evening (back. We arrived at the hotel around 9 am. They offered to go for breakfast, come to the reception in an hour. They gave room 209 on the 1st floor (they wanted the 1st floor because of the restless child Yes, indeed, initially there is a smell of dampness, but after a few days it disappeared, or are we used to it? But we didn’t notice it anymore. The room is really small. But we also knew about this in advance. Cleaning is always excellent, linen was changed every day (why? ) .
Conder worked ALWAYS, whenever I turned it on (knowing about some kind of "schedule", I just checked). TERRITORY. I will not repeat that everything is stylish, beautiful, clean, comfortable, well-planned. "Buzzer Uncle" with a special vacuum cleaner (as the granddaughter called the workers who collected fallen leaves with something that sounded like a chainsaw) worked tirelessly. Green glades are beyond praise (our children ran barefoot with great pleasure). The children's playground in the morning was subjected to thorough wet cleaning. There are no claims to the territory. One delight.

BEACH. Clean, big, but there are still not enough places for everyone. I got up at 6 to get a good seat in the 1st row. But this is the problem of all hotels, not just Boran. Everyone wants "closer to the sea". In fairness, I note that in the extreme rows of sunbeds could always be found. Maybe it's worth a little "increase" the awnings along the length of the row, then the sunbeds would not be so close to each other.

It would be more comfortable, especially since the size of the beach allows it to be done. We were upset by the lack of a toilet on the beach, and a small number of showers (only 3). Two of them are located almost by the pool, which is very inconvenient. The sand is crystalline, practically without pebbles. Nice pier, 2 stairs, quite comfortable, there is a shower on the pier. Non-motorized sports (canoe, catamaran) - free of charge. You can’t even talk about the sea without delight - it’s crystal clear, warm, there were no waves in almost 2 weeks! Sometimes, however, grass floated, but SOMETIMES!

ANIMATION. In one of the reviews, a mom with a 2-year-old child wrote that the animation was "weak". And she herself had time to participate in everything? And the child, due to his age, probably "tasted" only a mini-disco. I myself do not consider myself an active vacationer, but what I observed from the outside is quite up to par! Well done animators! They try, work with dedication, with a smile!
They try to stir up everyone, invite them to events, do it unobtrusively. And the work of the mini-club is just excellent! I will not list all the points, a lot has already been said. I would like to note the children's festival, which was held in Boran for the first time. We beautifully decorated the territory where the holiday was held (part of the snack bar), installed lighting, put high chairs for children, rehearsed numbers with the participants for a long time. And the colorful costumes of the animators are a fairy, a king, and a clown on stilts! At the end of the holiday - a huge cake with fireworks for children and a fakir show! It was just great! Larisa, Marina, Dasha, Irina, Masha - you are just great! And Ozzy, And Hakan, and everything! Evening shows may not shine with professionalism, but they are thought up and performed with soul. And I didn't notice any obvious vulgarity either. Our child did not understand anything yet. And parents are responsible for teenagers, what they need to listen and watch, and what not.
Moreover, at the time of the evening show in the mini-club, cartoons were always shown for those who wished.


STAFF, BARS. Trained, qualified. I have never seen such a benevolent attitude towards tourists, and especially towards children. The bartender will never serve an adult ahead of the child if he is standing in line (which cannot even be called a queue, 2-3 people). Service is prompt, always with a smile. Alcohol is poured, they do not save. You ask for a "double cognac" - "Oh-oh-oh, pazzalsta! " By the way, a strong spirit of decent quality. Only vodka, gin and brandy remained at ALL this year. Rum and whiskey only for money. Gin tastes like Gordons, and cognac - our Koenigsberg. Cleaning in the rooms is only excellent, moreover, without a tip!

SNACK BAR. I would like to especially note, I was pleasantly surprised! The assortment is quite large: potatoes in different forms, pizza, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, sandwiches, shawarma, cakes, cookies, ice cream, gozlime.
Everything is fresh and great quality! Ready quickly with a smile. The waiters immediately clear the tables. There are always apples and oranges in a vase on the counter, disposable tableware and napkins are in abundance. About ayran have already been written more than once, very tasty!

NUTRITION. I won’t stop, because there will always be disputes, dissatisfied ones too, because, as you know, “there are no comrades for the taste and color! ” I have something to compare with, I was in 5 * Singapore, Malaysia. Crabs, strawberries with cream, various delicacies - of course, there is no such thing in Boran as there. But the "money" paid is completely different, so I will not compare the poet. I will note a wide assortment of dry breakfasts (about 20), a large number of different fresh herbs, there was always a delicious watermelon for lunch (albeit instead of meat, it's not scary), various dinners. Didn't like the fish restaurant. Everything on the menu is the same as on the buffet. "Baked shrimp" were heavily salted, the size of the shrimp - the size of a watermelon seed. The fish is the same.
As well as squid rings in batter. In general, I was pleased only with the open veranda on which we sat, and comfortable chairs))): Themed dinners are just super! especially fish! Here is lightly salted salmon, smoked mackerel, mussels in batter, etc.


THE INTERNET. It turned out that they arrived without a laptop ("grunted" at the last minute). Well, we think it doesn't matter, there is an Internet cafe (2 computers). And the price is reasonable - $ 5 per hour. Imagine our surprise when we found that both computers had the Turkish version of Windows installed! not even English! (this is in a hotel where 90% of Russians). Well, oh well, we think we’ll ask the one who is in charge here and takes money from us! It wasn't there! The impression that this friend sees the computer for the first time. We ask, "divides" as in Turkish? (it was necessary to clean the flash drive). He doesn’t understand anything, he came up, let’s poke everywhere, they decided that it’s better to “poke” ourselves. At the very least, they managed (using the "translator").
There was no desire to come here the second time. Compatriots helped with laptops.

RECEPTION. No complaints, well received. Our guide, Shaban, seemed to us a nice and friendly person. We think we're lucky! But when he realized that we would not take excursions (I didn’t really want to go somewhere with a child), he even stopped greeting us. When we left, he was also at the reception, did not even come up, did not ask how we had a rest, in general, "he was deaf and dumb. " Only he spoiled our impression of the Anes tour. Thanks to Xenia, all questions were asked to her, she always listens, prompts, always with a sweet smile! Thank you Ksyusha!

CONCLUSION. I liked the hotel as a whole, met my expectations, I will recommend it to my friends for a holiday with small children. Will we come again, I don't know. We never visit the same hotel twice. But here, if Chesto, I want to come back again.
In October, we rested in a 5 * hotel in Tekirov, so at first Boran remembered every minute, involuntarily comparing. Of course, in favor of Boranchik! Therefore, perhaps, see you soon - Club Boran Mare Beach! Good luck and prosperity! And my new review about the new vacation is coming soon!
