Holidays in Turkey in the summer season are unparalleled in the number of travelers choosing it. The bet on the development of the country as a tourist region for many years yielded an incredible result: the All Inclusive system, the level of the tourism industry, the number of hotels ready to receive guests, beyond competition. If you calculate the number of services per ruble of investment on vacation, it is unlikely that any other country will be able to win the rivalry.
This raises a problem of a different plan: how to navigate this wealth of offers and choose your own, the only suitable option from the whole variety? Of course, you can re-read about all the hotels and conditions, but for this whole human life will not be enough. In this case, a competent travel agent or rating system for assessing tourism services comes to the rescue.
Brief description of 5 * hotels
Hotels in Turkey have European certification, and their status is determined by the number of stars. But even in the same price range, five-star hotels have a rather large amplitude of assessment.
For example, the Zena Resort Hotel 5 * hotel has a fairly reasonable price, compared with other hotels of this class. This is due to the fact that the beach is across the road, the year of construction is 2004, the building is not new. At the same time, the complex holds a consistently high, irreducible rating (8.5 out of 10 points). This value for money will be an excellent choice for those who go on vacation with children.
Fans of hotels with a large territory and a wide range of services designed for different categories of vacationers should look at establishments with the extension of HV (holiday village). These hotels do not include Zena Resort Hotel 5 (Kemer) 5 *. HV is a club hotel, often with low-rise buildings such as bungalows, with a vast territory. For the price, this type of vacation is more expensive than the usual "five". You have to pay for a fairly wide range of services.
The most expensive will be a vacation in hotels of the Luxory level. Places of the famous hotel chains Amara, Vogu, Best, etc. usually have this category. Increased respectability, exclusivity and the ultra all-inclusive system are brief characteristics of this type of vacation, which Turkey is also famous for.
Hotels Zena Resort Hotel, Ring Beach Hotel, Sentido Palmet Beach Resort - high-quality "five" of the same price range, which combine the level of service and the optimal cost of services. Choosing such hotels, the tourist gets a great opportunity to get a decent quality vacation at a reasonable price.
Kemer - the greenest resort in Turkey
There are well-known resorts on the Antalya coast : Alanya, Antalya, Belek, Kemer, Side, Fethiye. Each of them has its own merits. Antalya is suitable for connoisseurs of proximity to urban centers.

Fethiye is the most remote of all, respectability is combined with the lack of fuss and crowded, you can even find wild beaches with a natural landscape.
