корпоратив в Султане (Кемер) corporate party in Sultan (Kemer)

Here it is the long-awaited professional holiday! This year, the management of the enterprise rewarded us with a trip to Turkey. Why not celebrate the wonderful Builder's Day with all our cheerful team? I apologize to all vacationers who were disturbed by our big noisy, restless company (fortunately, the corporate party lasted 3 days! ). So we flew through Yekaterinburg, "thank you" to our native Tez for the cancellation of 2 flights from Perm! because of which the travel time increased by more than a day, but allegedly added 1 day of rest (or rather, the real increase in the price of the tour by 27 people! per day) - in fact, there was no fourth day, because we left the hotel at 6-20 in the morning 12th. I'll go back to the beginning. A wonderful morning charter of Ural Airlines delivered our team to sunny Antalya in the early morning. Our hotel was the first along the route of the bus carrying tourists, we got there in about an hour. By 9 o'clock we were at the hotel. We were immediately put on bracelets and sent to breakfast. At this time, the senior group filled out all the questionnaires and received numbers. In fact, the entire group was settled by 11 o'clock, without waiting for the check-out time and the generally accepted check-in at 14-00 in hotels. Thanks to the front desk staff. By the way, when I saw on the tag a room located on the 4th floor (smaller rooms and under the roof), I immediately refused, after waiting for all my colleagues to receive the keys, I went to the reception managers again and received the key to another room on the 3rd floor, for which special thanks. The hotel itself is more than modest. There is practically no territory: two buildings and a swimming pool with a children's (rather deep for kids) section. The small rooms are quite comfortable, normal furniture, individual air conditioners, TV, empty minibar, electronic safe $3/day. In the bathroom: shower, hair dryer, containers with liquid soap and shower gel (comes as shampoo), plumbing is working. On the balcony there are 2 chairs and a dryer. They clean the rooms well, twist the figures from the towels. It is clear that for 3 days there was no change of linen, and towels were changed daily (thrown on the floor). There are beach towels (blue) they are changed on demand. Service worthy. I would criticize the work of cooks, praised by many, in general they cook normally, BUT breakfasts are very monotonous and modest for 4, for lunch there is only 1 type of soup (second courses are present in a larger assortment: chicken, beef, soy), dinner is quite good , to the merits - a large selection of desserts, fruits are given, alcohol: wines are so-so, beer is normal for Turkey, ours managed with supplies from duty free or drank gin tonic. Despite the architecture of the hotel in the Ottoman style, it does not serve ayran and does not bake gezelma. Drinking water is only in the cooler in the restaurant, at the bar and on the 1st floor (you can also take boiling water there), tea bags are not cleaned at the bar at night (access around the clock, but everything is covered with a cloth). It is difficult to call an establishment on the beach a bar (a water cooler, UPI, a machine for powdered coffee, the bartender will pour Fanta Cola if it is refilled or he himself will be there). The beach pleased: spacious, always full of sunbeds, there is a volleyball court, shower, toilet. Minus - no one cleans up on the beach (although you can’t see the garbage), carry the mattresses yourself, the work of the beach battle is to collect them in the evening and drag them to the pantry, which is near the toilet in front of the bar. Next to the hotel bar there is a paid bar where you can buy ice cream and freshly squeezed juice for $1. The road to the beach is no more than 2 minutes if you exit through the gate at the end of the pool and 5 minutes if you go around the hotel and go through the main entrance along the stream (in the morning you can see turtles there). Free access to the beach at night. Animation - just tears! The girl Asya, who is trying to cram an outdoor disco for $ 15 (our guide Anna took us to Kemer to a foam disco in Aura for 10), holds a children's disco in 15 minutes and that's it. There is nothing for children! they have nothing to do there (it’s good that parents read reviews and they don’t take them there) There were no more than a dozen kids in the hotel. The Turkish animator only turns on the music, and then without a choice (because in the evening none of the hotel guests have a desire to get up and dance), so as not to strain themselves with work, unfortunate animators periodically spend evenings with invited artists (either belly dance, or Turkish night). For the sake of justice, Asya plays volleyball, spilling the playground before that, and the Turk earns money in the bathhouse as a massage therapist and sings great at the same time. The Turkish bath is excellent! I visited it without massage and peeling (free of charge from 15-00 to 18-00), but the complex itself is good: sauna and steam room and jacuzzi and pool with cool water. Those who used the services of bath attendants were satisfied. (tur. bath with massage and mask -$25). Without company in the hotel boredom! People don’t even know that every day there is a hotel disco in the basement from 23:00 to 1:00 am, it was only us who had fun there! - music is nonsense - everything is designed not to work!! ! But a couple of evenings the DJ had to work hard. Disco bar is paid. In general, we had great fun, but this is not the merit of the animators. The location of the hotel is good, a quiet village, we are almost at the end of Chamieva, it’s a 5-7 minute walk to shops, prices bite like everywhere else in the resort area, there is no worthy product, but it’s real to buy souvenirs, the main thing is to bargain. Conclusion: a hotel with good service, unvarnished food and super UNINTERRUPTIVE animation. In August I was in Turkey for the first time in more than 20 visits to the Antalya coast, this is something! air above 40, sea 30! either in the sea (the pool, despite the cooler water, is not very refreshing), or under the air conditioning in the rooms, because in other places they are not turned on.
