Turkey, a country you always want to return to. Especially in Kemer. Perhaps because of its location, or rather the climate, and not least plays a role in the attitude of the population to tourists.
The Jardin hotel is located on the first line, with a large area and a fairly large beach.
Upon arrival, we were settled quickly. We needed 3 rooms next door, even without a hint of gratitude. Identified in 4 (new) building, far farthest. If you look at the sea, on the right of the building, the green area, on the left is a tennis court.
Medium-sized room, wardrobe, safe, TV, refrigerator with mini bar, 2 bottles of colored water, 2 clean, one of them mineral water and juice, per person. If not used, do not replenish. Shampoo, soap, slippers.
We slept with the air conditioning on, but there were also blankets.
Wi-Fi is available in the room and throughout.
Our operator was Pegasus. Thanks to the guide, he told me everything, I didn't procrastinate on the tour.

The cameraman went to the World Botanical Exhibition EXPO-2016, followed by a concert by Belgian singer Lara Fabian.
Canteen - a place to receive food, located to the left and right of the room, where you can replenish your plates with food. On the left glass, air conditioning, fresh air on the right. The range of delicacies is very large. Breakfast featured a variety of egg dishes, lunch and dinner of chickens, meat, fish, seafood salads, there was even a choice for the little ones. The fruits have always been watermelon, melons, apricots, plums, grapes, tangerines, oranges.
It should be noted that a very large contingent of vacationers were with children. For children there are separate pools, slides, swings, room, high chairs, adult attention and paid nannies.
The central pool, quite spacious, is visually divided into parts, which has enough space for both adults and children. In the evening, various programs are arranged near it.
Opposite is a swimming pool for the little ones, sheltered from the sun. About half a meter deep. The second children's, already deeper and with slides.
In the afternoon, animation in a foreign language with water games was held by the pool. Various shows in the evening. Those who wished could play bocce, tennis, however, rackets for a fee. We were invited to various Kemer stores. The trip is free, regardless of shopping. We ordered a car, drove us, we walked, walked, however, bought. The realities of life have put their trade on the brink of survival, remembering the prices of years past, you know.
Between the pool and the beach is a green area, with grass, sunbeds, large trees and shrubs that cast shade. This was our main place of rest, although sometimes we occupied the sunbeds by the sea and by the pool. This area, like everything here, was systematically removed.
It was clean, there were urns, no cigarette butts, glasses, although smoking became an order of magnitude less, and the contingent of vacationers was on the level.

The contingent is multinational. Franco-German, English-speaking, Turks, many Kazakhs, Ukrainians from different European countries. We saw a couple from Russia, apparently arrived by flight (the guide said, charters do not fly).
The beach is fine pebbles, so it is desirable to have slippers for swimming. Lezhakov is always enough for everyone. There is a pier on the beach, if desired, from there you can jump into the water. The water temperature was about 27 degrees, I did not want to get out of the water. The air temperature on the board was about 34 degrees, but it was not stuffy. Next to the beach there is a point of additional food and drinks, where in between main meals, it is possible to feed well (self-service), beer, beer, fanta, etc. is poured by the bartender. Not far from here in the afternoon, about an hour, two refrigeration units distribute ice cream.
From the beginning of species 6. Depending on the queue, at the end there are 2-3 types of balls. Everyone always has enough. There are only queues for ice cream, although people are understanding of standing instead of just lying down.
Where you can quench your thirst, or something significant. I will say at once, we always approach this issue very responsibly, and we always have the necessary minimum with us. I counted 4 bars, given that near the beach it is alcohol-free. In the dining room, the guys who serve have a good dry white, pink, red wine. They also pour. In the cafeteria, near the entrance, there are several bottles with vodka, cognac, brandy, gin. The main bar, but not important, is located in the center of the hotel, in the aisle between the buildings, where you can sit well in the evening and with a small influx of people. It has everything except some alcoholic beverages. The bar is open 24 hours a day, though at night for a fee.
In the morning at dawn, in front of the sea, we usually drank coffee there.

Well, the pool bar, with 100% range of all stated. Here everything is poured into glasses and shot glasses. Beer, wine, champagne, cognac, whiskey, gin, brandy, vodka, tequila, etc. Cold champagne, to another, if desired, add ice. Usually, one hand is given to one. People are standing, but there are no queues, no one is in a hurry. All drinks of the Turkish producer. Pepsi, circles of bottles or skittles. Beer of good quality, rather non-alcoholic, but delicious. For some reason, their vodka was not drunk, but the tequila went with a bang, and was prepared for consumption, with all honors, as it should be. The bartenders were Turks, Kazakhs, Cossacks, well done, poured full.
Turkish, Italian and Chinese restaurants were offered at the reception. The restaurants themselves were located on site. Because, we were more than 10 days, we were allowed to visit two restaurants.
We chose Chinese and Italian.
The menu of the restaurants included individual dishes of your choice and drinks. All without payment.
Bicycles were rented at the hotel. Few people knew about this free service. True bicycles, there were only two, and one is very tired. Since there were two of us, we needed to have two bikes, after thinking, at the reception, under our responsibility, gave the second bike, which really, then we realized it was dangerous to ride, but it worked out, but what an unforgettable experience left, from a bike ride through the small village of Kirish.
There is a shopping street next to the hotel. Here you can buy souvenirs, as well as clothes and shoes. Some sellers have rebuilt and speak Ukrainian, of course this is a marketing move, but it's nice! But the prices were even real.
Lack of demand was evident even in leather shops in Kemer, where we visited many times, although we were not going to buy anything.
We were very pleased with the holiday, especially since there were plenty of reasons for fun, and the wedding anniversary and first birthday. We thank our Turkish friends for the warm welcome and the operator for their care.
