The main hotel restaurant, bright and bewitching with its fabulous design, invites guests to an indoor air-conditioned room or an outdoor terrace for breakfast, lunch and dinner from 7 a.m. to 9.30 p.m.
The number of bars in Kamelia will also impress fans of such establishments and is a record for hotels of this class on the Turkish coast. So, in the Champion Holiday Village HV-1 hotel, located near Kemer (in the village of Beldibi) there are only three bars.
So, to the services of tourists:

The opinion of vacationers about the hotel
Numerous positive reviews from Russian tourists suggest the high level of this hotel. Among the qualities that do not leave them indifferent and cause a desire to return, they call:
- Very beautiful and large area located between the three hotels.
- A varied diet.
- Nice, big beach.
- Polite service staff and usually quick resettlement. Difficulties can arise only during the high season, when there may be a shortage of available rooms.
- The opportunity to use many services on the territory of the five-star hotels "Celine" and "Furla", accommodation in which is much more expensive than in "Camellia".
- An excellent team of animators who do not let bored adults as well as children, 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, as the number of rooms is updated there every year, new buildings are being built in place of the oldest. Due to the large number of vacationers at the height of the season, there may be a shortage of sunbeds on the beach or by the pool, but the staff is trying to solve such problems quickly.
Prices
The cost of rest at this hotel depends on the month when you want to relax there and the number of nights spent there. The longer the rest, the lower the price. So, the approximate prices for a room per day, subject to 2 adults staying 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 self-rest, you can book a room directly on the hotel website and book a transfer from the airport there.

Alanya
Built in 2000 on the seashore in the village of Avsalar, the Gypsophila Holiday Village HV-1 hotel complex has been attracting lovers of this region for many years. The hotel consists of two- and three-story cottages with spacious rooms and free internet. The area occupied by the hotel is 50,000 square meters. m. Despite its considerable age, the rooms in the hotel (with an area of 30-35 sq. m.) are in good condition due to the ongoing work on their restoration.
An excellent sand and pebble beach, a varied animation program, sports entertainment make this hotel a favorite vacation spot for people of different generations. Speaking about sports, I want to note that they do not charge for a game of billiards, rackets, balls, which is very rare in Turkish hotels. And of the shortcomings, we note that beach towels are issued free of charge once during arrival, then they are replaced for money. Judging by the reviews of tourists vacationing there, many travel agencies when selling tours do not consider it necessary to warn about this fact.
Another hotel that can attract the attention of fans of club hotels in this region is Eftalia Holiday Village HV-1, which is distinguished by high service, excellent living conditions, beautiful architecture and a territory of 37,700 square meters. m resembling an oasis. This hotel is universal. It is suitable for both business people (planning business meetings and conferences), as well as for young people, young children or the elderly.

Whatever region and hotel you choose, know that the success of your vacation will primarily depend on the mood with which you go on vacation. Hotel flaws will be visible when you look for them. But, you see, you came to this hospitable country not to sit in your room, but to swim in the gentle sea, get acquainted with its interesting history, attend excursions, which are offered a lot for any wallet and age, and just enjoy your vacation.
