Отдых в начале августа 2020 Holidays in early August 2020

We went as soon as the border with Turkey was opened when the quarantine was relaxed. Vouchers were bought to Mallorca for June, but... As a result, in August, the idea was spontaneously born to use the deposit that Pegasus had left. We didn’t choose for a long time, it’s not the first time in Turkey, I wanted the sea, the sun and a complete reset after several months of alarming tension due to the coronavirus.
Hotel Rose Resort 4 *, quite to itself. Located on the outskirts of Kemer, to the sea across the road 300-400 meters. The beach is its own, small, a kind of "pen". And instead of stand-alone umbrellas, there are awnings with sunbeds standing close to each other. There is enough space for everyone, but this system of stuffing people to capacity so that you literally have to lie shoulder to shoulder with strangers is not very pleasant. However, there is a shower and a good toilet, you can take a coffee in the bar at the beach (automatic, like everywhere else) or a cool drink like yuppies, water. The sea is wonderful, the entrance is convenient, immediately quite deep, small pebbles with sand. The hotel is not bad, without territory, there is only a pool, as it were, in the courtyard, and a small space with tables at the bar. We do not need animation, entertainment, so everything was fine. In the evening there is a place to sit, drink a beer or a cocktail, listen to music, chat. The room is quite decent, spacious, has everything you need, including a convenient closet with hangers. Everything is a little "lived", but not critical.
Only one thing killed: when you get out of the bath (yes, here it is a bath with a sliding glass door), you rest directly on the toilet! So they did acrobatics all 11 days, contriving to get out and stand 5 cm of the floor between the bathroom and the toilet. We got a room with a view of the roadway, but again, not critical, the hum of the air conditioner muffles street noises, we sleep normally, and we were lucky with the neighbors, quiet. I must say that the work of the staff was beyond praise! Such good fellows! And cleaning is daily, with the replacement of linen, towels, bottles of water are added to the refrigerator every day, shampoos, caps, etc. are added to the bathroom. In the dining room (well, like a restaurant), they are also trying with might and main.

At the beginning, when we arrived, the hotel was not full, 80% - the Turks themselves, a little Russian. Then, by August 21, everything was exactly the opposite - there were very few Turks, our compatriots arrived, the people were crowded, but the staff coped with everything, you can feel a good organization. They clean, serve, everything is invariably kind, with smiles, very friendly. Since the hotel is oriented towards Russians, almost all the staff speak at least a little Russian. The chef is always in the hall, serving himself, because the buffet has changed a little because of the covid, and now you have to stand with a plate, and the staff puts you on what you show.
It is very difficult for the guys, in masks, protective screens, all day in the heat, but they run around, invariably kind and polite. To be honest, this is the first time I meet such a person in Turkey. Big respect! Of course, all och. tasty, plentiful, varied. I was also pleasantly surprised that you could freely take fruit or dessert out of the restaurant, or some buns for a snack. Nobody said a word. I think many have come across the fact that in many inexpensive hotels this is prohibited.
The hotel is quite far from the center. This is not 1 km, as they say, but at least 2.5 km. Considering that in August the heat is under 40, and even in the evening it is very stuffy, then this is annoying, it is hard to get there and back. But I think in the less hot months it's a great walk. You can also go by bus, 3 minutes, 5 lira, or rent an electric moped for two. We were afraid, such a tarantass on the road with pretty decent traffic... But if a man is driving, they ride with pleasure. In general, quite satisfied with the rest. The sea is wonderful, the sun is bright, the food is literally continuous and very tasty, constantly fruit and a great dessert, beer and Pepsi))) What else do you need to completely relax? ))
I think the hotel is more suitable for couples or families with children of preschool age. Compliance of the price-quality is complete. I recommend. Who has not been - Kemer is a pretty town, very green, there is where to take a walk. The only negative is that there is no Wi-Fi in the hotel. At all. Nowhere. Only for a fee: $ 15 per week, which is not cheap at all, and will only be on site. For us, this was an unpleasant surprise, because. The hotel writes that Wi-Fi is available in the reception area. It's good that Beeline offered roaming for the whole month of August, they took advantage of it. But, despite the minor flaws, I would definitely go to this hotel again, somewhere in September, when there is no strong heat.
