Where to go with a child? Budget 130 thousand
I plan to go to Turkey for 2 weeks towards the end of August. 2 adults plus one child 4 years old. Budget 130 thousand. what do you advise? Animation is basically not very important. The main thing is that it was not necessary to take beds by the sea at 7 am and there were no queues at the restaurant for lunch and dinner.

Which region do you prefer, sand or pebbles?
аватар soluxer
It is desirable for the child, of course, sand, but not large pebbles will also do
аватар soluxer
And the region of Kemer or Belek probably. In general, I’m not very sure about the region, anyone will do except Antalya. It seems like a long drive to the hotels.
аватар PolikSVT
Of the hotels in Kemer, I can safely recommend the following for families with young children (which fit your budget): CLUB BORAN MARE BEACH HV1, AKKA ALINDA HOTEL 5 *, CRYSTAL AURA BEACH RESORT & SPA 5 *, CLUB ZIGANA HV-1, ELIZE BEACH RESORT 5*, KILIKYA PALACE 5*, SIMENA SUN CLUB HV-1

Antalya is just the city of arrival, airport. Far to go to Alanya. There are also good family hotels in Antalya that suit your budget, for example, CLUB HOTEL SERA 5 * (the choice of hotels is smaller, because hotels are already more expensive).
аватар PolikSVT
You can see the Side area (70-75 km from the airport), there are sandy beaches: PALOMA OCEANA RESORT 5 * (!), MELAS RESORT HOTEL 5 *, in Belek: BELCONTI RESORT HOTEL 5 * This is what came to mind in accordance with your budget

PolikSVT, thank you very much. So far, according to reviews, I liked AKKA ALINDA HOTEL the most
аватар wo881
Hello! I am reading offers on hotels from PolikSVT and it seems that a person has not seen prices for tours for a long time, and even more so 5 *. As for the fact that Alanya is far away, I can say only 2 hours drive with a stop, and then depending on how many hotels the bus that takes you will bypass. My family and I, literally at the beginning of June, returned from Turkey. We rested, me, my wife and two children 5.6 years old, just in the area of ​​Alanya, the village of Kanakly, the hotel "Turtash". By the way, I can recommend this hotel, it’s not bad for families with children, you can even find reviews and photos on this site. This year, a girl from RUSSIA, Zina, works as a children's animator, treats children very well and works with children. The hotel is the first coastal, food will not be hungry, the territory is large and very green, the beach is sand and pebbles. The staff is excellent, at the expense of sun loungers, I don’t know how it is on the beach, but I took it by the pool before breakfast. True, there is an option to tip the employee at the pool and in the morning he will take the sunbeds himself. We liked the hotel, and the Russians there were somewhere around 75% and a lot of children somewhere from 30 to 40, and this is without kids. It might work, take a look!

Of those hotels that suit your price, I can advise Ruby, Club Donai, Muqarnas, Turan Princes, Akka Alinda or Miritim club.

Dear wo881! Your impression is wrong! You probably don't know the prices for 5*! I just flew in with my granddaughter, who, by the way, is also 4 years old, from Turkey. I always choose hotels very meticulously, and only the most suitable for families with children! I monitor hotel prices several times A DAY, because I am constantly looking for tours for colleagues and friends (well, my hobby is so useful for others!). And before advising anyone, I just go to the sites of tour operators, type in the search engine the data declared by the topikstarter, and get the required data. And I look at prices for the same hotel at several MOTs. I understand that you liked Turtash, and you sincerely recommend it. But why would you buy liverwurst in the store if you have money for quite a decent half-smoked one? All the hotels I have indicated above are in the price category from 125 to 136 thousand (see. higher, departure from MOSCOW!) I didn’t offer the Amara Club Marine hotel, which we just visited, although I can take it long and excitedly, I liked it so much! But for the price, unfortunately, it does not fit - 170 thousand. . So, why go to Alanya, if you can afford something else?
аватар PolikSVT
Hotel Ruby - although a beautiful beach, but the territory - there is nowhere to turn around! Take a look at CLUB BORAN MARE BEACH HV1, the photos on all sites are old, you need to go to the site of the hotel itself. This year a large reconstruction was carried out, the pools were rebuilt, an excellent pool with slides for children was equipped. We rested there last year, the hotel is very good for families with preschool children. Simena - also class! And all the hotels I have listed above are good in their own way! Kemer is a fairy tale, Alanya before it is like walking to Paris :)))
аватар sent2008
Akka Alinda I do not advise, the employee rested last year, she did not like the food, and the overall impression is not the most rosy.

Dear PolikSVT! Firstly, I do not impose this hotel, but only suggest looking at reviews and photos. Secondly, if you go to the hotel rating, then make sure that the hotels you offer are not at the highest level and, by the way, Turtash is on the same line with these 5 *. And if the rating is not high, why overpay for the stars. Yes, I don’t argue Kemer was not a bad area there either, but I can only say one thing, the more solid the hotel, the worse the service. And even more 5 * on the second coast, and this not very convenient with children, and many 5 * are naked like a desert without vegetation. In general, I can only say one thing, I read a lot of reviews about hotels, at least 3,4, or 5 * everywhere has its pros and cons, I was convinced of this, and since all people are different and with different incomes, then everyone wants to see a heavenly place in the hotel for the amount that they paid, but this is simply not possible. And frankly, the sun and water are the same everywhere, and the hotel itself is needed in order to eat and sleep.
аватар PolikSVT
_ "the more solid the hotel, the worse the service" _ Dear, what kind of hotels do you mean??? And yet, if you consider yourself a connoisseur of Kemer: what 5 * hotels are "naked like a desert without vegetation" and "mostly .. on the second coastline" ??? Give examples, as much curiosity dismantled! No one is going to argue with you that Turtash is good as a budget 4 * club hotel, which has a pretty good rating in its category, but you simply cannot compare it with the hotels I have named! I was in Turtash in 2007, and if you visit the hotels that were offered to the top starter, you won’t remember Turtash again! Yes, smiled, especially about the "bald" territories in Kemer :))) Especially in decent 5 *! there that, they cut everything down with a specialist? Well, you gave, so you gave :))))))
аватар wo881
Firstly, I did not mean Kemer itself and its environs. Well, if you have visited all the 5 * Kemer hotels, then I just say pass. Our family simply does not have such an opportunity, visit only 5 *, and even for such amounts that you spend. And at the expense of 5 * hotels with poor service, then you can read all this in the reviews if you go there!
аватар PolikSVT
Dear wo881! When they say "Kemer", they mean it as a region, including the surroundings (Beldibi, Chamyuva, Kirish, Goynuk, Tekirova, where there are very few 5 * hotels on line 2. Unfortunately, I have to visit all 5 * hotels in Kemer I also don’t have the financial opportunity, and even elementary vacation days! I started discovering Turkey in 2004 from such 3 * hotels, which, probably, are no longer on the map! (due to their complete “sucks”). After all, it is the kids who need the sea and the sun!. Many still put baby food on this list, but my baby prefers yogurt, rice, watermelons and cherries, that's all! The largest concentration of hotels with these requirements is KEMER! And you can always find an opportunity to relax well, but within the limits of possibilities. For example, having gone at the end of May or in October! The price is lower - the weather is super, and the conditions for rest are even better, because there is still (or already) pandemonium. I can easily list the 5 * hotels that I would not recommend for families with children:
аватар SUSHKO_T
Of course, I can be bombarded with reproaches that I offer a fairly budget option for a hotel, but it seems to me that it is here that a vacation with children will be interesting: NATURLAND VACATION CLUB IN ECO PARK HV-1 (Forest Resort), and I advise Forest Resort and in no way case not Aqua Resort!!!
According to the pricing policy for the next dates, you can invest 2 weeks up to 100,000 rubles (two adults and a child with UAL meals), and for August, prices are still around 115-120 thousand rubles.
The pros of this hotel are:
1) A very interesting green area, all dotted with all kinds of animal figurines, a mini-zoo, a pool in the Forest is decorated with a huge ship (Noah's Ark) from which animal figurines look out)
2) Your own funicular, which children enjoy riding.
3) I recommend Forest, because Aqua had bad reviews about the rooms. Forest is positioned as the second line, but in fact it is just a little further from the sea, but in hot weather (we have been since August 12, 2009) it is very pleasant to walk in the shade of pine trees, and the pool near Forest is not in the sun with a jacuzzi, slides (in including children)
3) There were always places on the beach, I didn’t notice queues in restaurants, maybe small ones at lunchtime - everyone eats at lunchtime in Aqua (by the sea)
аватар SUSHKO_T
These are not all the pluses, but now I can not remember everything. There will be questions - write if you are interested.
Of the minuses, I can definitely note that this is almost the farthest point of the Kemerpos region. Chemyuova. There is a road near the hotel (between Aqua and Forest), but it is not at all busy and there are very few cars driving along it, the windows of my room on the 6th floor of the Forest overlooked the sea and this road, but neither day nor night did it worried. The mosque, which is located nearby, woke us up faster, but in my opinion in Turkey, this is the case everywhere.
аватар SUSHKO_T
By the way, you don’t need to go to the sea across the road - there is a footbridge that connects Forest and Akuv. By the way, the hotel consists of 4 parts: Aqua, Forest, Country and some other I don’t remember - everywhere there is a common area and restrictions on use when we were, consisted only in the fact that we had breakfast and dinner, where they were registered (Forest) and everything else is common.
аватар PolikSVT
and just as easy to name worthy hotels 3 * and 4 *, where you can have a great rest! There are such hotels in Alanya: Lonicera 4*, Ulusoy Aspendos 3*, Anik Garden 4*, Club Tess 3*, etc. I read reviews, a lot and constantly, although I’m too lazy to write myself, there is such a sin! In general, you can argue a lot and deployed. People come here for advice, and we try to give exactly the information they need! If you want to have a good rest, having 130 thousand, these are the hotels that fit the budget! Good and tested! With high ratings and great reviews! And you can "eat and sleep" in a hotel in different ways, you always want comfort and delicious food... Especially if people are willing to pay for it.
аватар PolikSVT
SUSHKO_T, how long have you been in this hotel, which you praise so much? Here are the latest discussions on this site, and the hotel is really falling into decay, little is left of its former greatness: http://www.turpravda.ua/tr/kemer/Naturland_Country_Resort-h8977-question-31209.html?page=0# answer
аватар PolikSVT
No one is settled in the Forest anymore, there is a complete decline, they sell tours only in Country, forcing people, from the horror of what they see, to pay a considerable amount for Aqua, in which something really works. Such is the business in Turkish! :)))
аватар SUSHKO_T
I personally was there in 2009 - everything was excellent, at least in terms of cleanliness and territory (it still stands before my eyes. Our room was spacious, excellent, but in the aqua just complained about the rooms. Friends went there in 2011, and despite my beliefs, they decided to live a rural life, they took Country, there was mold in the rooms, and they changed it to Forest for a fee.
I can’t say that this year they settle in the Forest or not, but in Ukraine and Russian operators in the Forest, tours are sold, and even more expensive in dollar terms than we went in 2009 (it so happened that I’m torn between the two countries- I live in Ukraine, and most of my relatives, including Russian parents).
I'm not saying that everything is perfect there, but I liked the hotel.
By the way, it’s funny that in Forest’s description I read somewhere about a free shuttle to the beach - I can only say that several open cars drive around the territory (it’s very interesting for children), which you can stop anywhere and drive somewhere, but you can walk around legs and there are no steep climbs anywhere, although the hotel is on the mountain.

hmm... And if the budget is increased a bit to 150 thousand, will the hotel recommendations change much?
аватар PolikSVT
Yes, these are things now :))) I also considered this hotel as an option, the cost was small, I also remember how great everything was there, but I read this info in time! Now Dino Park has opened in Goynuk, at least some kind of replacement!
аватар PolikSVT
soluxer, to be honest, it almost does not change at all! Or quite a bit, if we consider it in detail, and for all operators. Prices - fly away! What do you not like about the above? You can ask questions, clarify something, you can also in a personal. The hotels are really good! Each with its own flair! Therefore, there is probably no point in increasing it!
аватар wo881
I completely agree with you, we are discussing where it is better and where it is worse, but people need a hotel and they decide what to choose. And the hotels that you suggested along the way are already booked.
аватар PolikSVT
No, I just looked at the availability of seats on flights and in hotels. At Tez Tour. This year it is quite democratic in terms of prices.
