Travel time August 2008. Duration 10 days.
Hot ticket (for 2 days). Departure from Kyiv.
The cost for two is about $1000.

For starters, only "+" and "-" about Gonul Palace:
(+):
1. Geographically good location. Very quiet place (between Kemer and Antalya. Beldibi village).
2. Adequate and loyal attitude of the staff towards vacationers.
I liked the manager, who takes an active part in the life of his hotel.
We arrived at the hotel at 11 o'clock. Settlement was supposed to be at 2, but settled almost immediately.
We left at 12 o'clock (lunch from 12-30), but before leaving, lunch was served for those leaving. Pleased.
3. Normal varied (except breakfast) meals. Not enough meat, but we certainly weren't hungry : )
Alcohol from 10 to 22 for free. Wine house, average. The rest is ok.
Ate watermelon : )
4. The pool is cleaned and chlorinated in the morning, so you can swim until the very night.
5. Although not large but cozy rooms. The room has air conditioning, refrigerator - mini-bar, hairdryer, TV

(3 Russians, 1 Ukrainian channel). The hotel was built relatively recently, so it is enough
in a good condition.
6. Cleaning daily, but not very high quality.
7. On the beach of the hotel (walk to the beach for about 5 minutes) sun loungers, umbrellas.

(-):
1. The number of safes at the reception is less than the number of rooms in the hotel. But if there is an opportunity
hand over valuables to the safe (1 day - $ 1).
2. So for 10 days they did not ask for soap in the shower. Water from the shower is leaking into the bathroom.
3. Monotonous breakfasts (cereals, milk, cheese, soy sausage, cucumber, tomato, olives, jam)...
fed up in 10 days. They practically do not give fruit (well, watermelon is full of course).
4. Alcohol sometimes gets in the way in the evening...
5. Well, this is a BIG claim to our travel agencies and their sites - DO NOT CLAIM WHAT IS NOT IN THE HOTEL !!!
Declared laundry, animation, darts, tennis court, table tennis,
there are no water sports!
6. Minus for some, although for us it became a plus - there is no elevator.
In the rooms on the fifth floor, some got groaning.
7. Small area near the hotel.

8. There are cigarette butts on the beach, but the tourists themselves are to blame - mostly Russians, Ukrainians litter ...
And since the beach is small pebbles with sand, it is quite difficult to remove small debris.
9. When in the course of the sea - large cobblestones.

General information:
- The contingent of vacationers: Turks 25-30%, Russians 30-40%, Ukrainians 15-20% and others : )
- 2 towels per person.
- Change of linen - every 4 days.
- To the sea 400-500 meters (slowly 5 minutes)
- There is a bar near the beach, but it is better to make purchases in shops on the coastal road (prices are 2 times lower).

Well, in general - there are always and everywhere dissatisfied - the main thing is how it relates to rest : )

The general impression is ok. 3* hotel. Recommended for lovers of quiet rest and people
not particularly experienced.

Beldibi:
Lots of shops, cafes. There are several discos.


Excursions are better to take not from your tour operator, but on the waterfront
(more than a dozen travel agencies, prices are 1.5-2 times lower than those of their own tour operator. )
Types of excursions a dozen and a half.
"+" excursions - lunch is included in the price, "-" in most excursions they are delivered to shops along the way;
okay, when to some souvenir shops (Mira-Kekovo trip), otherwise, mainly for clothes
(we went to Aqualand in Antalya, so after that for 40 minutes they also took us for jeans. It was annoying)
In addition, the prices for clothes/souvenirs/sweets in those stores where they are taken are higher than in Belidibi, and
sometimes and than in Kyiv. It is better to buy souvenirs and sweets in Beldibi than in Kemer or Antalya.

For lovers of discos, it is better to go to Kemer.
To Kemer 30 minutes by minibus (dolmush). To Antalya 40-45 minutes.
In Beldibi on the beach there is a standard set of water entertainment.
In the village you can rent a car, scooter, bicycle.
