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.

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!

We chose a 5-star all-inclusive hotel with a large territory. The travel agency suggested Simena Holiday Village & Villas. We traveled in four (3 young girls and a child 10 years old). The territory is really big, but the main part of it is across the road (2nd line), there are villas, most of which are old without repair.

We chose a 5-star all-inclusive hotel with a large territory. The travel agency suggested Simena Holiday Village & Villas.
We traveled in four (3 young girls and a child 10 years old).
The territory is really big, but the main part of it is across the road (2nd line), there are villas, most of which are old without repair. To get you settled in a new villa at the reception, they require an additional fee (about $ 15-20 per day).
The villas have two swimming pools. In the room upon arrival it was clear that no one cleaned, they changed the linen and that's it. There is no safe (only in new villas), the air conditioner is old (like a battery). The shower constantly stank of sewage from the drain, and you can also hear how water is pouring from the second floor through the sewer pipes, horror !!!!!!! ! The towels were really changed every day (or just neatly folded old towels)))))). Guinea fowls and chickens with roosters walk around the territory. Early in the morning the roosters crow - impossible.
Walk from the villas to the main building from 5 to 15 minutes. (depending on where you live).
In the main building, the rooms are all updated (we talked with vacationers from the main building). Near a large swimming pool. Wifi is disgusting, it only catches in the Lobby and then it is interrupted all the time.
From the main building there is a road to the beach (5-8 min. ).
Beach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !
In the description of the hotel 150 m. Not true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!!!!!!
Width maximum 30 meters and 15-20m maximum depth, HORRIBLE!!!
Sunbeds, mattresses and umbrellas are old, there is not enough space, everyone is pressed against each other. For such a number of tourists (about 1.5 thousand people) the beach is not suitable. There are not enough places, people take places before breakfast, lay towels until the evening, and some never come to the beach, and the places are already occupied. The same disgrace with sunbeds near the pools. Especially near the main building, people also occupy sunbeds in the morning and from 10 am to 5 pm it is almost impossible to snatch a place.
Nutrition!!!
Breakfast from 7 to 11, lunch at 12.30, dinner at 19.00. The kitchen is monotonous. Dishes for lunch and dinner are almost the same. From meat, chicken and sometimes beef, from fish only mackerel, desserts are all of the same type, from fruits: apples, pears, plums, peaches, apricots, watermelon and melon (there are no exotic fruits at all, only once there were bananas and then they were sorted out in 15 minutes. ). Most fruits taste like grass (probably green, not yet ripe). It is better to come to the beginning of breakfast, lunch and dinner, as you run the risk of not finding a free table and getting into the line for the main dishes, or even for the rest of the food.
During the day and in the evenings there is animation (by the main pool during the day, in the coliseum in the evening). Surprisingly, the animation is decent, and there are also activities such as water polo, aqua aerobics, step, zumba, etc.
Of the contingent of vacationers, mostly 50% to 50% Russians and Turks. For the first time in a hotel I see so many Turks among vacationers !!! ! At the same time, during breakfast, lunch and dinner, they often take food from common containers not with cutlery, but directly with their hands, which is also not pleasant!!!!!!!
So this hotel does not live up to its 5 stars. I hope my review will help many tourists!!!!!!!!!! !

People don't go to this hotel! The hotel also uses the concept of a disposable product. Well, if this product delivered to the sea and the sun. The sea and the sun is the only thing that the hotel workers could not filth! The beach is not just small, it is very small. Food is a separate topic, for such a mockery of the products, the chef will certainly be punished by the Almighty. It's okay that there is no choice of dishes, but why overcook pasta and not salt it? Why burn everything on the grill to a black crust? Why pour so much pepper in the morning into scrambled eggs with tomatoes? True, after three days they partially corrected themselves and generally stopped cooking on the grill! Perhaps due to the fact that from the adhering fat and unsanitary conditions, the hood caught fire over the rot and things in the room of the vacationers suffered. Dirty rooms, mold in the bathrooms, this, in principle, did not interfere, anyway, there were almost no. In the SPA, their barker or the boss with the parrot "Gosh" and the same habits shows interest only if he receives dollars or a rude answer. In bars, the staff pours as if doing a great favor. The only one who really tried was the animators. Here's a big thank you to them! And they walked on crushed glass and dressed up as women and generally tried their best!

We arrived at the hotel around 2 pm. And the carousel began - then there are no numbers, then wait 15 minutes, then 20, then half an hour. As a result, they gave a tiny room, plus no safe, with a stiff corner, damp. They were indignant at the reception, they changed it to a good one (it's okay that the drain in the shower is clogged, the flush in the toilet is not working), they were glad about that.

They were indignant at the reception, they changed it to a good one (it's okay that the drain in the shower is clogged, the flush in the toilet is not working), they were glad about that. But. . . with a mysterious smile, the guy from the reception said that you have to pay extra for 12 dollars. per day. The husband was indignant and he realized that nothing would burn out and left us alone. Next - ultra all inclusive in the hotel NO. At 16.00 we wanted at least something to eat, there was nothing anywhere. In addition, not a single bar was open in the villas. To get water, you have to go to Simena Hotel. As for alcoholic drinks: gin, tequila and some kind of "votka" are constantly available, sometimes whiskey. All the cheapest. Dining room - a separate conversation. Tasteless - it's not for everybody. At the beginning there was at least chicken (legs, fillets), at the end - dog sets (backs). Somehow they came for dinner an hour after opening, there was NOTHING - no fish, no chicken. They chased the cook to take out food, in the end they took out undercooked legs, and the fish - "Finish". Vegetables spin the same all day long - breakfast, lunch, dinner, by dinner, there is a sour smell near the salads. Sweets and then absolutely not pleased, the same thing under a layer of synthetic cream or baklava floating in sugar syrup. The food is disgusting for a five star. The next reason why you should not go to this hotel is the beach. It is tiny, sunbeds for 250 maximum. With the number of tourists about 2000. The sunbeds are assorted, a lot of broken ones, the mattresses are old, torn. Moreover, the sunbeds are almost close to each other, it is unrealistic to pass between them, there is no personal space. Again, I repeat; THIS SHOULD NOT BE IN A 5-STAR HOTEL. Vacation was ruined. The bar on the beach only cherry Yupi, water and beer. Another know-how of the hotel owners: ; chickens were brought into the villas. It's just a nightmare. Roosters yell in the morning, chickens, guinea fowls walk in flocks around the territory, respectively, everything is filthy. It was sooo unpleasant to rest with the chickens, like in a chicken coop. Further, the attitude towards tourists: the closer to the end of the season, the less food became, the canteen area decreased, whiskey disappeared (the only thing you could drink), in one evening, sunbeds on the beach were collected and beach umbrellas dismantled, although some tourists had 5 more days before the end of the tour. Un- respected manager! Why are you selling tickets then? People go to the sea, have a good vacation, and you take it all away from them. Close the season early. The only thing I want to note is the good work of the animators, bartenders and maids. The rest of the hotel staff - "little bosses" - complete indifference and disinterest in the reputation of the hotel and the convenience of guests. THE HOTEL IS STRONGLY NOT RECOMMENDED! unless it has 3 stars and, accordingly, the price is two times lower

Such impudence surprised me a little, especially since the room was in a terrible state. . . There has not been a repair here for 20 years since the hotel was built. At the first press of the toilet button, it fell off and the water then poured for almost a day, making it difficult to sleep. The water from the washbasin did not drain - the sewer was clogged and the shower rack was broken. during the rest, the toilet was repaired 3 times, and our neighbors had 6-7 times. No one changed the bed in the room for 7 days, and after contacting the reception, they brought it and offered to change it on their own. . . Cleaning in the room consisted in the fact that they removed the garbage from the bucket. The beach turned out to be just tiny (it is one for 3 hotels) - 230-250 people could rest on it, and for the first 5 days I had to remember the rest in the Crimea and relax right on the pebbles without sunbeds. . . There was a lot of food in the dining room (with the exception of meat dishes), but in order to take it you had to run a lot, the food was in 3 places. . . I was not mistaken when I wrote "canteen" In the restaurant, drinks are brought by the waiter and they will not clean the leftovers from the plates into the trolley 2 meters from you when you eat. Although ultra-inclusive was promised, there was nothing of the sort. When my wife asked for a glass of rosé , the bartender mixed white and red wine with a smile to make rosé . Whiskey and martini was not even local, when I asked where these drinks were, the bartender answered me that it was expensive. the day before departure, my phone was stolen in the dining room and again there was no reaction from the staff. A separate "thank you" to Anex Tour and its representative Ramis, who withdrew himself from solving problems with the administration and stated that his duties included only organizing excursions. . .

We want to write a review about this hotel. We flew to Turkey for the first time, but because of the attitude of the hotel and the guide of the Anex Tour company, the impression was not the most positive. Let's write factually. We arrived in the evening, very tired, we were greeted friendly. By the way, it was our honeymoon trip, which was asked to indicate when booking and was reminded when we were settled.

We want to write a review about this hotel. We flew to Turkey for the first time, but because of the attitude of the hotel and the guide of the Anex Tour company, the impression was not the most positive. Let's write factually. We arrived in the evening, very tired, we were greeted friendly. By the way, it was our honeymoon trip, which was asked to indicate when booking and was reminded when we were settled. We were politely smiled, given the keys and settled in the villa. When we were taken to the room, it is not enough to say that we were in shock. The room is old, dirty, not cleaned, hair in the bed. The table on the balcony is burnt. The furniture is old. We came back and asked to change our room. They said there were no others. Then we asked the main manager to go to the room, showed it to him, asked if this was a 4-5 star hotel room ??? ? He replied that all their rooms are like that, and there is no point in moving to others. We called our representative Anex Tour Ramis, to which he reassured us and asked us to wait until the morning. OK. In the morning we met and Ramis said that there were no rooms, we would try to change in a couple of days. And the fact that we are newlyweds, no one knew. It turns out that no one has heard about cleaning before the arrival of guests, and they do it all the time. That is, the hotel considers it absolutely normal not to prepare the room for the arrival of guests. Naturally, we never changed the number. We decided to ignore it and enjoy our holiday. What follows is even funnier. Seeing that we calmed down about the number (we simply scored), Ramis began to offer excursions. We declined because we didn't plan to. To which Ramis said that he was putting us out of the hotel and that our health insurance would be blocked. Walking along the street, many agencies invited us on excursions, and we became interested. Arriving at the hotel in the evening after the first tour, Ramis saw us and began to shout to the whole street that we should be ashamed. To my question: why, we decide how to organize our vacation, he replied that he would block our insurance for us !!!! ! ! ! To the question: do you really have a right to this, he replied: "I have the right to everything here. " We were just in shock. That is, the representative of Anex Tour switched to blackmail! - These are cons. Naturally, we will no longer use the services of this company.
Pros.
Beautiful, large area of the hotel, very clean. Good food, varied and fresh. You can quickly get to Kemer, there are buses. Around the mountains, fresh air, clean sea, good sunset. The beach is sand and pebble. In general, we liked Turkey for its nature and cleanliness. Fast WiFi.
In general, the hotel is not bad, it has its pluses. But we, of course, will not recommend it to anyone because of the service and inability to resolve conflict situations, hotel managers and the representative of Anex Tour Ramis (if you fly from this company). Maybe our review will help you protect yourself from the blackmail of such representatives and make your choice.
Have a nice holiday!

There are a lot of Germans, Italians, Czechs and 20% Ukrainians and Russians. Nutrition: I brought extra 3 kg from diversity and abundance, well done, of course, don’t starve. I was very surprised by the children's table and diet-boiled chicken, rice, just boiled potatoes, etc. The fruit table was also by the way. From alcoholic beverages, they drank beer, white wine (you can drink), my husband drank whiskey and cola - everything else was an amateur. I watched dirty glasses a couple of times, but these are trifles with so many people.
The very first time I was surprised when, near the large pool in the bar, the Turkish chef asked for salt, the chef turned his back on me and began to do something of his own, while clearly understanding and hearing what he was asked for. Well, okay, it happens, I thought. The second time I was shocked when in the hall I asked for brewed coffee, which was made to a Turkish man in front of me, they poured me from the machine and told me to drink this, of course, the Ukrainian girl was silent again and pretended not to be offended at all, well, that's okay, let's say the little things .
Animation is missing naprch-it just does not exist! Of course, we do not need it, we are our own animators, but there are people who need it, of course, do not count.
The beach is not far away, if you go from the Villa without children for 5-7 minutes, the beach is small of course (people said so), but again, if you are not going to run along the beach and just sunbathe, then it’s pretty decent. Beach towels are clean, washed daily. I really liked that the hotel did not have disposable tableware and the absence of "flying" glasses.
The waiters are great, they are trying very hard. Only they put an empty glass, it seems that they are watching you right there and they remove it, and this is with so many people - well done!
We were satisfied with the rest, every hotel, even a vip-class hotel, has its drawbacks. Pay attention to the fact that they don’t like us anywhere or the animators don’t entertain, I think it’s not worth it, we are all different and if we treat life with a positive attitude and it you will be the same. We watched a lot of young people coming in companies, they don’t need the same animation, if you want silence, please, in the villas it’s yours, it all depends on you, if you want to hang out, you can hang out. The beauty of the mountains and this place removes all negative emotions. I don’t know I would return I will visit this hotel again but recommend it to everyone .

Good day everyone!
I rested with my family (I am a husband and a son of 10 months) from May 5 to May 17.2013.
I bought a tour to this hotel out of stupidity, paid during the day for early booking : ) and then I realized that I mixed up the hotels. I read the reviews and was horribly disappointed.
I will say that everything that is written about the hotel is true, but not everything is so bad. I think that for 1500 ye for 12 days it's not bad. Previously, in Turkey, I rested in the Kemer Resort, Ottium and Royal Palm Resort hotels, the hotels are not the best, but an order of magnitude better than Simena, but also more expensive.
I'll start in order. We were brought to the hotel by the very last at about 10 a. m. , we drove for a long time for almost two hours, although it was only 65 km to go : ( We were met at the reception, everyone (who read the reviews) known Baki. I asked to be settled as soon as possible, closer to the main building and better, gave 20 cu Bucky with the widest smile said: 5 minutes, go have breakfast, come and we will settle in. WE went for a bite to eat, returned and Bucky showed us the first building across the road, villa 607, room 617. Impressions from the room were not so hot. The furniture was old (worn, burnt with a cigarette butt, etc. ), the carpet was dirty : ( I was afraid to put the child on the floor for the first few days, but then they cleaned the room and it became much cleaner. the room is large, everything is in order, everything was working, there was a nuance with the water heater, but it was fixed the next day, and on the last day of our stay, a barrel was installed on the roof, so I think there should be no problems with hot water in the future. double bed room, minibar (replenished almost every day, although it is stated every two days), a large closet, TV, balcony.
The room is spacious, but empty, if you change the furniture there, it would be much better.
More about food.
When we arrived, there were not many people in the hotel, breakfast was very poor. To my surprise, they didn’t cook scrambled eggs, omelets, pancakes : ( There were a million different buns, vegetables, salads, cheeses, sausages, boiled eggs, potatoes (rarely: stewed or peasant-style), sometimes scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs with sausage, cooked in advance, already cooled and windy, oatmeal with milk. Also Jupi drinks, supposedly orange juice, but it was painfully sweet, at first I thought that my husband brought it yupi, and then I look at the pulp floating, orange pits (apparently diluted). and coffee.
Lunches were richer, but dinners were full of abundance. Always several types of meat, chicken, beef, turkey, fish. All this is in the form of goulashiki, beef stroganoff, grilled, in the form of rolls, in the form of lula-kubabs, cutlets. Rice, some kind of wheat-type porridge (my husband really liked it) pasta, potatoes: mashed potatoes, fries, in a country style and in the form of croquettes for a side dish. Vegetables are plentiful. Of the fruits there have always been: green and red apples are very tasty, pears (at the beginning they were very tasty), kiwi, oranges, bananas, grapefruits, quince, some fruits, I don’t know their names, and green plums. 1 time they gave apricots and peaches, but we did not have time to take them.
There was no dietary table, it appeared when the hotel was replenished with a guard of tourists. Fried eggs, omelettes and pancakes, meat and fish on the grill, as well as huge queues for everything appeared in the place with the diet table.
We lived according to the child’s schedule, and if we didn’t go to dinner at seven, then we could completely forget about dinner, because. at 8 he already wanted to sleep. And if, in the first days, when we arrived at 7, we could freely choose a place where to sit down, calmly walk around to choose food, then with the arrival of a bunch of people, everything changed. 15 minutes before the opening, a line was already lining up on both sides of the restaurant entrance, a line to the barbecue, which did not disappear. And although food was served constantly throughout the dinner, people still came in advance. When it turned out to come to dinner after 8 - everything was easier.
Of the pluses of food, these are the most awesome cakes that granny cooks. She cooks them during the day in a snack bar and in the evening at dinner. By the way, there is also a queue for her : ) If you give her a dollar, she will generously give you almost the whole cake, and not 2-3 pieces. Also enjoyed the ice cream. It was also given twice a day from 15-30 to 17 near the Lounge bar and for dinner. There was also boiled corn : )
There is nothing special in the beach bar and snack bar : ( not tasty french fries and hamburgers with fried sausage.
Now let's move on to free places on the beach and by the pool.
In the first half of our vacation, there were plenty of places, there were few people in the hotel - there were a lot of free places. BUT when the hotel was already full, it happened to come to the beach and see that there was not a single free sunbed. By the way - the road to the sea did not bother at all. On the contrary, with pleasure we walked with the child back and forth during the day and in the evening.
The same applies to the pool near the main building. Right next to our villa, as well as nearby villas, there is a swimming pool, it was filled with water 2 days after our arrival and a bar was opened a week later. There are few places, but there are always free ones. So who doesn't like to walk far or likes tranquility - one could sit there.
I also want to add that the audibility in the villas is very good. The acoustics in the hall are such that any Philharmonic will envy. You can hear not only steps and conversations, but even flushing water in the toilet in the next room. On the night before departure (from 16 to 17), the neighbors staged some kind of brawl. They threw something heavy against the wall. People from room 627, are you okay????
Not far from the hotel there is a sea of shops, a pharmacy, minimarkets. Anything you want you can buy. Strawberries were 2-4 dollars, cherries from 5 to 8 dollars.
My summary is this: for the money we paid - a normal holiday. Certainly not 5 stars, but not as bad as I expected after reading the reviews. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, I myself would not go again, but if you have already bought a ticket, do not despair. it's not that bad : )
I rested with my family (I am a husband and a son of 10 months) from May 5 to May 17.2013.
I bought a tour to this hotel out of stupidity, paid during the day for early booking : ) and then I realized that I mixed up the hotels. I read the reviews and was horribly disappointed.
I will say that everything that is written about the hotel is true, but not everything is so bad. I think that for 1500 ye for 12 days it's not bad. Previously, in Turkey, I rested in the Kemer Resort, Ottium and Royal Palm Resort hotels, the hotels are not the best, but an order of magnitude better than Simena, but also more expensive.
