When you arrive at the Gilea boarding house, in order to get to the administrator you need to walk 300 meters through a deserted place with things, children, etc. climb to the 3rd floor and only then you will fall into the hands of the administrator. She issued it relatively quickly, although she is not familiar with payments by credit card or via the Internet. Then down again and another 50 meters to your building (it’s good that not to distant houses! Then you would have to drag yourself 250-300 meters. If you are by car, they can let you in for 20 minutes !! ! unload things. Half a day or more only the director's friends can stay. Well, okay. That's what they're friends for.
The territory of the boarding house is large, the center. The alleys are well-groomed, many flowers, greenery, beautifully decorated. True, sometimes they add artificial flowers for charm. But it turns out like a saddle on a cow. Flowerbeds, lawns are constantly cleaned, watered. And on the central alley there are iron shields with the "Rules of Conduct for Vacationers" and with the "Fire Safety Rules" !! ! Very nice ! Yes, and even on the territory, here and there, there are MAFs (small architectural forms). Some seem to be nothing, others seem to be made in a garage on their knees. Well, for small children, they still have a ride. Yes, and there is a playground with swings, etc. There are comfortable benches, pavilions covered with greenery, they protect well from the sun, but you can only sit on them for up to 5 hours, and then mosquito attacks begin with terrible force.
Sports ground - died a long time ago. It seems like two courts, a small football field, one more, but there is no sense from them! The rubber coating of the times of the USSR was hardened, there were 3-5 cm cracks between the strips. And once they played to the fullest on these courts. They played football, and there were various gadgets for the kids. And now I haven’t seen anyone there for a week.

The beach is like a beach. 200 meters, one lifeguard, there are sun loungers under awnings for a fee, at the entrance there are obligatory "Rules of conduct and Rescue and pumping out... " I only remember the beach in the Paradise Beach boarding house in Bulgaria. Length 400 meters. Every 50 meters lifeguard with fins, with a buoy on a cable, with a motorola, with a whistle !! ! Those. we have 8 lifeguards ! Yes, I forgot! Two more by the pool! So drowning in Gilea is not worth it.
The dining room is good, I liked it, except for tea (it's not tea), and not all dairy dishes. Monotonous, but... Public catering, in a word. For small children, special chairs would not hurt. And they are comfortable and parents.
We went to the bar near the dining room and took coffee, ice cream. Coffee can be better. We didn’t go there anymore, despite the fact that there is Internet. Lazy employees there. Why did I decide so? And ask yourself the question - why did they cover all the tables with glass !! ! I have never seen such insanity anywhere!
A room from the “Back in the USSR” category. Cheap linoleum, wallpaper, a ceiling lamp, free-standing beds (I don’t recommend having sex on them), a liar on the wall, an Ardo refrigerator (worked great), Daewoo TV (I have a larger screen on my laptop) , channels 1 + 1, ntn, enter film, music, tet, mega and BELARUSIAN central channel !! ! Where did it come from! . Two small bedside tables, one on rollers and one coffee table in which blankets lay. Another hanger with hooks. There is nothing for clothes - neither fold nor hang. And on the balcony I had to knit a cord for bathing accessories and towels. And the bathroom is generally a “swan song” of stagnant times. There are two of us, six towels. Where will we hang up ?? ? Two dead hooks, one unbroken holder and that's it! The plumbing is still the same. There is water on the floor, the rug is constantly wet, I threw it on the balcony to dry and not ozonize. There is a wooden grate on the floor. A mirror hangs on the wall so that you need to bend down. The soap dish disappears. In general, you need to constantly overcome "difficulties" according to the old Soviet tradition. Thanks, but I don't want to. Let's calculate - 310 for two and for 7 nights = 4340, round-trip gas = 400, parking 105, beer = 200, wine = 80, fruit, ice cream = 150 Total = 5275 / 8 = 660 USD. If you add 250 bucks, then 5 nights in a 3 * hotel in Antalya is guaranteed! With ALL food. And that's all.
