We rested at the Hotel from 06/10/2014 to 06/17/2014.2 adults + 7 year old child.
In general, the impression of the hotel is excellent.
The food is wonderful. The choice of dishes is huge, the waiters in the restaurant just run around to serve the guests with dignity. Huge selection of fruits. I have a child with allergies, so initially there was a focus on diets. The table, but as such it is not very diverse, but among other non-dietary foods, you can quite find something to feed your child.
The hotel has 3 a la carte restaurants. To be honest: there is no point in going to them, because in the main restaurant you will find a much larger number of dishes, and even tastier!!!

As for the rooms: it is better to settle in buildings located on the very territory of the hotel. For example, we lived in room 1019. Initially, they settled us in a new building. The room there was, of course, larger in size (2014), but we were the first tourists to move into it, and the view from the balcony did not suit me either. So I changed the room, and completely free of charge, it was a little smaller and my child slept on an extra folding bed, but he arranged me in all respects and from the balcony there was a beautiful view of the amazingly beautiful territory, palm trees, magnolias, pool and sea. Housekeeping was decent, no complaints.
In the mini-bar of the room you will find mineral water, Pepsi, Water, beer, Fanta. The minibar is replenished on Mondays and Thursdays.
My daughter is 7 years old and was interested in children's animation. Minidisco in the evenings is great!! ! My daughter ran there, dragging me exactly to 20-30!! ! God forbid it's too late. Were in the mini club. There are 2 of them: one Toucan, where everything is in Russian, the other for foreigners, but there are Russian-speaking animators. My daughter didn't like the mini club.
There is a huge water park for kids!! ! It's a children's water park! Very nice pirate style! Are there separate slides for adults?
For children, in addition to the water park, there are 2 children's pools, also with small slides.
My daughter did not climb out of the large pools, and there are 5 of them on the territory of the hotel !!!
The hotel is generally oriented towards families with children under 10 years old. Animation is designed specifically for such children. Children at the age of 12-15 were not as fun as the little ones.
Animation in the evenings - super!! ! True, the hotel is mainly focused on Germans and the animation for adults was in German, but there is a Russian girl who helps the Russians understand what's what.
In the evenings, in the amphitheater, they watched dance shows, shows with tricks, an ensemble performed with live music, various competitions, terribly funny numbers,... live music and dancing to live music in different styles !! ! This is Turkish music, and songs from the repertoire of Abba, the Beatles, Latin American music..... In general, the body and legs itself went into a dance...
At the entrance to the amphitheater you can taste punch, beer, it was given before the broadcast of football matches, which were shown on the big screen in the amphitheater after the show, although the broadcasts were also in German.

You can eat not only in the main restaurant, but there is a bar near the pool at the amphitheater, and a bar on the beach, where there is a very varied food (although there are no soups).
We went on a shopping tour from Tui. If anyone needs sheepskin coats and leather, then you should not contact the guides and waste your time driving to centers with space prices too. It is better to swim in the clean warm sea than to look at strange sheepskin coats and leather jackets at prices 3 times higher than in Russia!!!
We also went to textiles - the prices are the same as in Russia. If you need clothes, souvenirs - it is better to get to Manavgat, where there are a lot of covered markets!! ! Guides carry it is not clear where with exorbitant prices and with a strange assortment.
We went from Tuya on a pirate yacht with our daughter. What we liked - there was a children's foam disco on the yacht. . Then we stopped the yacht near the confluence of the Manavgat River with the sea, and you could swim both in the sea and wet your feet in the river (the water in the river is +16)!! ! I didn’t like the fact that there were 200 people on the yacht besides us!! ! Of course, no one warned about this when selling the tour. And this meant that when parking on the high seas, it was necessary to stand in line of 200 people in order to wait for their turn to swim in the open sea and for food at lunch they had to stand in the same line !! ! So I do not recommend this tour.
Well, in general, Club Calimera Serra Palace is a fabulous beautiful world for families with children!! ! I recommend to all parents! We didn't want to leave. . .
