I visit Turkey several times a year, in different places, so the review will be objective. The first thing that unpleasantly surprised was the absence of an accompanying person on the bus (at the meeting and seeing off). Tour operator Tui. The driver did not boom-boom in Russian, he was driving on the navigator and stopped by the wrong hotels several times. A very incomprehensible situation, I encounter this for the first time - savings are on the verge! No guide contacts, no collection, as usual, the next day after arrival with suggestions for excursions - they brought it, left it, picked it up, threw it out near the airport. Disgraceful attitude towards tourists for a lot of money. I will never go from this operator again! By hotel. It consists of the main building (red building in the photo) and villas located across the road. Simena Sun Club Hotel has NOTHING to do with SIMENA HOLIDAY VILLAGE! Neither enter the territory nor use the sunbeds!

I rested in the villa in the Superior room (913) - an excellent spacious room, after renovation, a huge terrace, mountain views - everything is super!

BUT! No cleaning!! ! It was cleaner before the maid arrived than after her visit. At least there was no hair in the bathroom. The food is excellent - meat, fish, chicken, turkey, vegetables and fruits - just in abundance! Grill daily. Insanely beautiful area where the villas are located. Everything is covered with ivy, green, quiet, chic air. To the beach about 10 minutes at a leisurely pace along the green path - not annoying in principle.

And now about the beach ...Gentlemen! If you are lovers of a beach holiday, but are not ready to get up at 6 in the morning in order to take a sunbed - then you are clearly not here !! ! There are 5 times less places on the beach than vacationers. No matter what time I came (and I am a fan of early bathing before breakfast) - there were NEVER places !!! ! My last feat was at 7-00 - useless! It seems that the sunbeds are occupied from the night!

The beach is small, chained in some kind of cement buildings, built at an angle, everyone is on top of each other. The same is true with the sea.
It seems that the buoys were set for small children. 50 meters from the shore and also a corner. You swim and feel like you are in a city pool - you have to constantly give way to someone or you will bump into someone with a shoulder. As a result, I was forced to go to the beach at another hotel for money (well, there are familiar Turks who helped organize all this). In general, if it were not for the situation with the beach and the sea, I could recommend the hotel. The choice is yours!
