Many thanks to TUI travel company and WIND ROSE airline for a well organized trip. The plane took off from Kyiv and Dalaman on time, upon arrival at the Dalaman terminal, we quickly went through passport control and immediately took our suitcases, when leaving the airport, the guide, at the counter with the TUI logo, identified us on the bus, which immediately left, we just had time to sit down. The guide on the bus pleased us with the information that our hotel was the first on the route and it would take about 20 minutes to get there. Since we are not on this type of vacation for the first time, we didn’t really need it, but for those who are traveling for the first time, such assistance will be useful.
Having filled in the check-in cards, we left the suitcases in the luggage room and went to look at the territory. When we went out to the pool, we saw that lunch had already begun there.
After dinner, we returned to the reception and, at the request of my daughter, just in case, I clarified whether our room was ready. To our joy (tired after the flight and early rise), we were immediately given a booklet with two electronic keys to our room.
Mostly resting Europeans: a lot of British, Scandinavians, saw the French, a few Turks and very few Russians and Ukrainians. Settlements are made in British pounds, euros and Turkish liras, less often in dollars. If you are traveling with dollars, I advise you to change them to lira - you will save money when making calculations.
WI-FI on the territory of the hotel is free, but you need to enter the system by entering the series and number of the passport that was entered on the card upon check-in, and the room number. That is, I entered my passport on my phone, my husband - my own, my daughter - my own. If the child is entered in the parent's passport, he will not have his own Internet : )
Service. We had no complaints about the service.
But if you do not know English, it will be difficult in more difficult situations than ordering food and drinks, etc. The guide speaks Russian, one man at the reception and one girl at the SPA. Everything else is in English.
The hotel has a SPA center, a 24-hour doctor (guess what language you need to speak to him : )), a fitness center and shops.
Territory. The territory of the hotel is very large and well-groomed. There are beautiful mountains around. A lot of greenery, a variety of plants and flowers. Date and banana palms, climbing plants, various conifers and pseudoconifers, bushes and flowers, pomegranates, lemons. Some very unusual ones: bushes with colorful flowers and blackberry-like berries, a tree with thorns all over its bark, unusual trees with "chips" and "bean" shaped fruits : ) etc.
I was very pleased that the territory is maximally oriented towards children: there are coasters in the bathroom in the rooms, there are wide ladders near the bars so that the child can rise to the level of an adult himself.
Throughout the hotel there are refrigerators with 0.5 l bottles of water.
Number. The hotel has 4 types of rooms (all suitable for 4 people). They are well written on the website of the hotel itself (in English, Turkish, French and German). Our tour operators do not provide such detailed information, so I will describe them
1) STANDARD ROOM - 32 sq. m. , double / double bed + 2 sofa beds in the living room, mini-fridge, bathroom (not shower), hair dryer, safe (free use), telephone, satellite TV, air conditioning, balcony.
2) STANDARD SELECT ROOM - 32 sq.
m, double bed or two single beds + double sofa bed in the living room, DVD player, mini fridge, bathroom (not shower), hair dryer, safe (free use), telephone, satellite TV, air conditioning, balcony.
3) JUNIOR SUITE - 38 sq. m. , 2 separate rooms, King Size double bed + 2 sofa beds in the living room, bathroom with hydromassage bath, bathrobes, slippers, mini fridge, hair dryer, safe (free use), telephone, satellite TV, air conditioning, balcony .
4) JACUZZI SUITE - 38 sq. m. , 2 separate rooms, a bedroom with sliding doors and a window into the living room with shutters behind a retractable mirror, a King Size double bed + 2 sofa beds in the living room, a bathroom with a hot tub, bathrobes, slippers, a mini-fridge, a hairdryer, a safe ( use free of charge), telephone, TVs with satellite channels 2 pcs. , air conditioning 2 pcs. , balcony.
Sea and beach.
The beach at the hotel is huge, the sunbeds are very far from the water, the path from the hotel to the sunbeds is wooden, the platforms on which there are sunbeds and umbrellas too. From the path to the sea, go about 50 meters more. It is better to go in flip flops, because the sand is very hot. There are few people on the beach, mostly Slavs : ). On the beach it is forbidden to stay with pets, walk off the paths, dig sand, pick up small turtles, etc. etc. , because the beach is the place where the Caretta Caretta turtles lay their eggs. There is a warning poster about this at the entrance.
The beach has the Blue Flag 2017. The sea is clean, there are small stones along the water's edge. Mostly calm before lunch, after lunch the wind picks up and waves appear, you can have fun jumping in them. The level drops quickly, 2-3 steps and up to the waist of an adult, a couple more steps and you can’t feel the bottom. The current is strong and constantly blows.
On the beach there is parasailing and other entertainment that is pulled by boats, so the swimming area is separated by buoys and ropes, like in pools. It is not convenient for small children to splash around, especially after dinner, when there are waves. We swam all the time, because my daughter swims and dives well.
At the exit from the beach there is a tap to wash your feet from the sand, a shower and a toilet. The shower is cold, which is not always pleasant for a hot body, so I recommend that you only wash your feet from the sand, and wash yourself in a warm shower near the main pool - if you plan to go swimming in it after the sea.
Pools and slides.
The main pool with two slides is in plain sight, it is large, zoned, the maximum depth is 1.40 m. Both are good. Near it is a small pool for kids. There is another pool to the left, between the buildings, the depth is the same, but it is small and calm.
Closer to the kids clubs (by the way, there are 2 of them) there is another pool with three small slides for children. Also near the children's clubs there is a shallow pool for kids, an awning is stretched over it, it is always in the shade, and therefore the coldest.
Slides in both pools operate on schedule: from 10:00 (10:30) to 12:30 and from 14:30 (15:00) to 17:00. I write like this, it used to be opened earlier.
Kids club. My daughter did not go there, because they are for smaller children, and teenage - there were older guys (13-16 years old). By the way, I really liked the infrastructure of children's clubs, small toilets, showers, washbasins.
Animation. Animation in the hotel is all in English. Evening shows can still be dubbed in a second language (probably Swedish). Animation mostly takes place near the pool. There is a list of animations on the stand near the pool and at the reception opposite the guide desk.
The main children's evening animation takes place in the amphitheater: first clowns, then Download, then an evening show for everyone - the animators themselves or invited teams perform. Also for the kids in the Beach Bar there is a Mini Disco, they spoke Polish and English, tried something in Russian. The little one was bored, she loved Download.
Nutrition. Breakfast and dinner are served in the main restaurant. Lunch - at the bar by the pool. Also 2 times a day (afternoon and evening) you can take ice cream and gozleme (Turkish pancakes with butter and sugar).
The cuisine is very good, almost every evening there were themed dinners: Japanese, Turkish, Italian, seafood, etc. There are a lot of fruits, meat, fish, vegetables, sweets and pastries too. Delicious and varied soups, which is rare in Turkey. Delicious yogurt in the morning and a variety of jams and other things to it.
It's really a family hotel, after 23:00 it's quiet and you can sleep : )
We enjoyed it very much and would come here again!
