Лето в Санлэнде Summer in Sunland

The hotel was from 9 to 19 June. It is now called "Imperial Sunland". Overall impression - a very decent place. This is my 5th time in Turkey. Usually rested in fours. You can give both 4+ and 5 - it depends on personal expectations. But compared to 4, there are differences in restaurant service and food. Cons (which pays for everything else) - a small area (but in Kemer this is a common occurrence) and the smell from the grill in the evening goes to the rooms, the location between the two roads - the one from the side of the mountains, is noisy. The air conditioner is also weak. He is central. But we had several rains in the evenings, even a thunderstorm with lightning. And often it was enough to open the balcony. Now more on points.
Check-in: arrived after 14, settled quickly. Without problems and a tip, the room overlooking the mountains was changed to the fifth floor with a gorgeous panorama of the sea. Every night I admired the moonlit path and the beautiful illumination of the new Imperial Premier Hotel. But sometimes there was a slight smell of sewerage on the balcony.
Territory and interior: as already noted, the territory is small, but everything is thought out and with soul. Illuminated fountain at the entrance to the hotel. Reception hall - sofas with comfortable pillows, lamps - everything is stylish, new. Riding the elevator is like going into a small space: through the glass wall you can see hanging planets illuminated in the evening. The rooms are large, with carpet, - the feet are soft and warm. On the side of the mountains - an amphitheater with plastic seats, a coffee shop and a Turkmen hut - they built them in tiers. The greenery is beautiful. There are outdoor sofas with soft mattresses.

Food: very decent, one of the best for all trips. Haven't had time to try it all. For breakfast, 12 types of breakfast cereals only, 6 types of cheeses. For children, porridge. Mushrooms can also be baked for breakfast. You don’t have to stand in line for grilled meat, what’s inside is enough - fish, chicken, stew, rice is cooked deliciously. Fruit species 5 at a time. There were grapefruits, apples, oranges, watermelons, melons, nectarines, apricots (the latter are greenish). Desserts are weak. You have to stand up for ice cream, but if you come 15 minutes early for an afternoon snack, you will be in the forefront. At night, they also offer refreshments - olives, cheese, vegetables, bread. Wine is traditionally sour. Beer is ok. From imported drinks, Baileys, Campari and some other liquor are poured for free. On the beach in the snack bar from 12 to 16 you can have a great lunch - french fries, and vegetable flatbread, and the same watermelon, and grilled chicken. I never got sick at the hotel.
Service in the restaurant: no dirty dishes were found. Plates from the table at the beginning of lunch or dinner disappear instantly, in the middle they can already stand. Paper napkins, as sometimes in Egypt, are not spared. For dinner, from time to time, the restaurant is beautifully decorated - a cape on the tablecloth, matching napkins, bows on the chairs.
Animation: Chef Julia from St. Petersburg is a great belly dancer. But somehow she does not dispose to herself, she gives away arrogance. Egyptian sports organizer Gene Aladdin, a local fakir, lays down on glass and spews fire. Everything else is at the level of "Mr. Imperial", vulgar. During the day - the usual set of competition games, but somehow without a soul, without enthusiasm. Imported shows are good. There were three - a dance revue, a Turkish night - folk dances, and numbers in the pool. There is a mini club. You can leave children for certain hours. Children, by the way, was a dozen 4 with a ponytail. Even in wheelchairs a few. The restaurant has a children's table-chair.
Spa: delivered a lot of nice minutes (thanks to Ise and the team). Free for guests hammam - warm up, two saunas - one with steam, swimming pool, tea in the vitamin bar. Twilight, candles, pleasant music. After the sun or sauna, it is nice to relax there on a lounger. But the massage is expensive. 60 dollars - an hour of general or Thai and so on. If you take a complex - 5-7-10 procedures, they will make a discount. I did a back massage with Tatyana - her hands turned out to be stronger than those of many men. If you need not just stroked - this is for her.

Beach: in fact, the hotel is on the second line, but in reality the sea is very close, closer than going from distant buildings in a hotel with a large territory. From the building, take the elevator down to minus one, where the hall with shops and a spa smoothly passes into a corridor leading to the sea. Everything is in marble, paintings, sculptures, while we hung chandeliers in the passage. Very comfortable. From the outdoor pool there is also a descent into the passage.
The left side of the beach was covered with small pebbles, and there was even sand near the water. Children make castles. Where large stones begin, you can safely swim. By the sea on a narrow strip - a few dozen sun loungers with umbrellas. The pier is huge. Wooden, two tiers - main and side. Descent into the water from a narrow ladder with wooden steps. We must not rush - it is easy to slip on a wet tree. There are also sun loungers and sun loungers. They are sometimes put on beautiful white mattress toppers. Employees are busy all day - in the morning they straighten mattresses, arrange umbrellas, after dinner they pour water into the foundations so that the wind does not blow away, they bring ashtrays to those who wish. The sea is clear, small fish can be seen through the water. Sometimes they bite. The sea is usually calm in the morning. Small waves in the evening. There was a storm once. Garbage sometimes lands on the shore. In the wide part of the pier there is a bar of beer, they give water in small bottles, gas. the drinks. At the exit from the passage there is a snack bar. I already wrote about him. I liked to drink chamomile tea there in the evening after the swim. There are large pebbles on the right side of the pier, where entry into the water from the shore is less comfortable. The beach offers a beautiful view of the mountains and hotels.
In general, the impression of the hotel is very good. It's one of those places I'd like to return to.
