The coast of the country is diverse. Each resort region is famous for its features and attractions. The Antalya direction is especially popular among tourists and is well developed.
Regions
Kemer, named after the mythological character Chimera, is famous for its mountain landscapes, unique air with the smell of pine needles and eucalyptus and pebble beaches. If you are a fan of large pebbles and are looking for a hotel with a large flowering, green area, pay attention to the Champion Holiday Village HV-1 in the village of Beldibi.
Belek, located in a protected nature reserve, boasts the cleanest air, VIP-class hotels, golden sandy beaches and the opportunity to get to know the local inhabitants - turtles, which are common in the area and come ashore to lay their eggs.

Opinion of vacationers about the hotel
Numerous positive reviews from Russian tourists allow us to talk about the high level of this hotel. Among the qualities that do not leave them indifferent and make them want to return, they name:
- Very beautiful and large area located between the three hotels.
- Various food.
- Nice, big beach.
- Polite staff and usually fast check-in. Difficulties can only arise during the high season, when there may be a shortage of available rooms.
- Ability to use many services on the territory of five-star hotels "Selin" and "Furla", accommodation in which is much more expensive than in "Camellia".
- An excellent team of animators who do not let both adults and children get bored, unobtrusively drawing them into sports or dance entertainment.
Of the shortcomings of the hotel, old rooms are most often noted, but the administration successfully copes with this problem, since every year the number of rooms is updated there, new buildings are built on the site of the oldest ones. Due to the large number of holidaymakers in the high season, there may be a shortage of sun loungers on the beach or by the pool, but the staff tries to solve such problems promptly.
Prices
The cost of staying at this hotel depends on the month you want to stay there and the number of nights spent there. The longer the stay, the lower the price. So, approximate prices per room per day, subject to 2 adults living in it, in 2014 were (in May, October): $260-300 for Delux, Junior Family Room - $350-380, Suite Room - $450-520. At the height of the tourist season, the cost can increase by 50-100%. Rest in a standard room will be cheaper and will cost $150-300.
If you are a fan of independent rest, you can book a room directly on the hotel website and order an airport transfer there.

Alanya
Constructed in 2000 on the seashore in the village of Avsalar, the hotel complex Gypsophila Holiday Village HV-1 has been attracting lovers of this region for many years. The hotel consists of two- and three-storey cottages with spacious rooms and free internet. The area occupied by the hotel is 50,000 square meters. m. Despite its considerable age, the hotel rooms (with an area of 30-35 square meters) are in good condition due to ongoing restoration work.
Excellent sand and pebble beach, varied animation program, sports activities make this hotel a favorite vacation spot for people of different generations. Speaking about sports, I would like to note that they do not charge for playing billiards, rackets, balls, which is very rare in Turkish hotels. And from the shortcomings, we note that beach towels are issued free of charge once during check-in, then they are replaced for money. Judging by the reviews of vacationers theretourists, many travel agencies when selling tours do not consider it necessary to warn about this fact.
Another hotel that may attract the attention of fans of club hotels in this region is Eftalia Holiday Village HV-1, which is characterized by high service, excellent accommodation, beautiful architecture and a territory of 37,700 sq. m, reminiscent of an oasis. This hotel is versatile. It is suitable for business people (planning business meetings and conferences), as well as for young people, small children or the elderly. "Eftalia Holiday" offers a wide range of services, many of which are free. Vacationers will be pleased here with a variety of delicious food in three restaurants, two of which are a la carte, snacks and drinks for every taste in 5 bars located throughout the territory.
Whatever region and hotel you choose, know that the success of your holiday will primarily depend on the mood with which you go on vacation. Shortcomings in hotels will be visible when you look for them. But, you must admit, after all, you came to this hospitable country not to sit in a room, but to swim in the gentle sea, get acquainted with its most interesting history, visit excursions, which are offered a lot for any budget and age, and just enjoy your vacation.
