When choosing where to spend May holidays, I proceed from the fact that my husband and I are tired and just want to lie on the beach in a decent place. It can be too windy in Egypt in May, it’s still cool in Croatia and Montenegro, we didn’t really like it in Tunisia... In general, following the path of least resistance, guaranteed charters, obtaining a visa at the airport, not a high cost... we went to wallow on the beach in Turkey. We chose a seemingly decent hotel, 5 *, Kemer, which we have not been to yet... The hotel turned out to be huge, and despite the Asian location of Turkey, it lives according to European rules. The plane from Kyiv took off at 5.10 in the morning, at 8.30 we were already at the hotel and we were told that we would be settled at 14.00. We waited calmly until 2 pm. Rules are rules, although for some reason in Kyiv they forgot to warn us about these new Turkish rules... But they settled us closer to 4 pm. All this time we had a magical opportunity to watch how angry and already rather drunk Russian tourists, who were also not accommodated upon arrival, were destroying bars and receptions.
I don’t want to describe stories about queues and crushing in a restaurant 3 times a day. With an eye on the fact that the hotel is UAI, and the food is tight and often... But it's on the ball, it's paid, so let's download the rights and demand our own, in Russian!... Why not hustle for strawberries and take her to the table a couple of plates for yourself and that guy? Why not yell at the bartender for pouring beer in foam? Or not to say: I asked Baileys that you poured half a glass of ice into it ?? ? The behavior of compatriots does not honor us all, alas. I found a way to minimize the negativity of the staff: I just spoke to them in English and received a more or less normal service. Although for the future I concluded for myself: you don’t need to look for hotels for which there are reviews of our tourists, you need to go where, for example, the Germans))). Participants of the "Gold Standard" championship also came to the hotel, who played football before lunch, and drank and drank and drank in the afternoon. . . And at the end of the championship, they also started a fight. . . In general, they fed plentifully, but monotonously. Due to the fact that half of the time it was raining in the afternoon, and, accordingly, people just lived in bars, they drank everything, there was not enough wine even at dinner, the staff was tired of preparing cocktails properly and Margarita was poured simply into a glass (Promised in Kyiv from the hotel a birthday cake and champagne turned out to cost 35 euros and we never received those... A la carte restaurant needs to be booked only by phone, only a day in advance and only at strictly designated hours... Which is natural for us, too, no one I didn’t say in advance... in general, I celebrated my birthday quietly and peacefully in a common restaurant. It’s impossible to interrogate an umbrella by the pool, and the beach was leveled with a dozer for 4 days. Noise, stink...
On a fishing trip, in a fish farm, having paid $ 70 per person, I caught 2 fish in 2 hours... I just didn’t bite (((

Room cleaning consisted of changing towels and leveling the bed. Leave a tip - they will remove it before lunch, if you don't leave it - they will clean the room after 16.00.
You can write more about what you didn't like. There must have been something good. But I will not recommend this hotel to anyone. This is a typical trio. In spite of the huge beautiful territory and the sea of ​ ​ any additional services. Maybe it was Russian tourists who spoiled the Turks like that, or maybe I just don’t like Turkey and was not ready to relax surrounded by drunken former compatriots. The body rested, the soul is gone... I didn’t get pleasure, I didn’t like the hotel ((((
