Наш отдых в Натурлэнде Our stay in Naturland

We arrived in Turkey early in the morning, around 7 am, without any flight delays and other troubles. The first thing I thought about when I got off the plane was that it was so early in the morning and the air was already very warm, almost hot. It's cool here in the second half of August. We quickly reached Kemer. All the way we were entertained by Aneksa Kemal's agent. Three tunnels passed, in one of which you had to raise your hands and make a wish. Then, Kemal says: "and now, dear ones, check if all the bags are in place"!
We arrived at the hotel at the beginning of ten in the morning. Yes, a huge hotel, a huge territory. It consists of three parts: Naturland Country, Naturland Forest and Naturland Aqua. Country and Forest are on the mountain, from the reception there is an elevator, or you can take an open mini-bus. All 3 components of the Naturland hotel have their own pricing policy. The cheapest is Country, then Forest, and the most expensive is Aqua. Aqua is located across the street from the main reception, on the first beach line, consists of one building. all animation is also concentrated on the territory of Aqua. We bought a ticket to Country, but after looking at the proposed room, we didn’t want to move in there, damp, dark, although two-room, but so small and uncomfortable. We were offered a choice of rooms in the Forest and in Aqua, of course with a surcharge. I didn't really like Forest either, but everything was great in Aqua. This building was renovated last year. The room was spacious, bright, clean, with two balconies overlooking the sea. We agreed without hesitation and at 12 noon we were already unpacking our things. The pictures came out dark, I forgot to turn on the flash! Yes, the room was two-room, we paid extra 400 bucks.
A little about the hotel, suddenly someone considered it for a holiday. The design concept of the hotel is very interesting. This is a real eco-park! The entire territory on the mountain is green, the houses are stylized in a rustic style, but I don’t know what numbers are there, except for one I didn’t see the others. Vacationers speak in different ways, someone is lucky, and someone is disappointed. The problem is that the hotel is clearly abandoned. Until 2007, the owner there was some kind of German and the hotel was one of the best, at the European level. Then the hotel was sold (I don’t know to whom) and this clearly did not benefit. Repairs in Country and Forest have not been done for a very long time, all the bars on their territory do not work. Only the lobby bar near the main reception and the beach bar were open. Of course, after the "licked" Utopia, we felt the difference. But this did not spoil the mood for us, because. we lived in Aqua, which means close to the sea, to the pools, to the animation. A couple of times we went to the territory of the Country Forest to take pictures, but there is something to shoot there!

Natur lost in that it was not so clean by the pools, the beach was not cleaned so often (but it was not dirty at the same time), there were no some alcoholic drinks (but I didn’t care much), the lobby bar was open only until 24. otherwise: the food in the restaurant is very good, the service in the restaurant is excellent, the room was cleaned every day, the animation is great! never been bored, the guys are so entertaining! And most importantly: the beach and the sea - just great! The water is clean, warm, warm, it seems to me that I have never seen such a warm one. Beach: medium-sized pebbles, no cobblestones, it's really soft! Walking doesn't hurt at all!
I would like to note the wonderful work of the animators in the mini-club. There was no way to get the little one out! From 10 am to half past one, then from half past three to five in the evening. In general, we had a good rest, but we will not go to this hotel again. For 5 stars it does not pull, and it does not pull on 4 in terms of service and cleanliness. It's a pity... Once it was apparently a very good hotel . .
