Food and drinks are varied, but all food and drinks are not tasty (I suggest changing the chef), except for fruits.
The beach also disappointed: the bottom is medium pebbles and a sharp transition to depth.
The hotel has a good animation Ferid and Hakan well done, Katya and Dasha need to learn more, rather weak. Wifi is available throughout the hotel.
For a long time we chose a hotel with a large territory, where there is a lot of greenery and a beautiful (sloping) entrance to the sea. We turned to FLP Kvasovskaya Evgenia (on Podil) 0984435348. We started our search in February. On the advice of Evgenia, they postponed their search until the end of April. And then a call from Evgenia - it's time. And how to offer this hotel. Started watching YouTube videos. There is very little information there, and even that is a bit old. The price was very attractive. Agreed. Issued. Moreover, there was no need for any tests. And on June 1, the news is a PCR test. Test, so test. Evgenia gave us XES codes, issued boarding passes, and worried as if she were family. Many will say that this is her work. Agree. But work can be done in different ways. We are very pleased with the work of the team led by Evgenia Sergeevna.
And here we are at the hotel. Almost like Igor Mamenko's "All Inclusive": this summer I had a rest at my mother-in-law's dacha in Turkey.
We have entered paradise. Huge, beautiful area, all in greenery.
Our flight was at 4:15 but was postponed by 45 minutes. We arrived at the hotel at about 10 o'clock, we were immediately sent to the "brunch". We were asked to walk for 20 minutes. And at 11.15 we were taken to the local shuttle. They settled in a house on the second floor. We immediately connected to the free Wi-Fi, which works throughout the territory, including on the beach. The room is luxurious, clean. The room has a wide double bed, next to a single bed, a full-size sofa, a table, shelves for suitcases, a closet with a bunch of hangers, a Phillips flat-screen TV, a free safe, a mini-bar (free at the time of check-in). It contains beer, cola, fanta, mineral water 1 liter, plain water 1 liter. Then only water was added every day. The rest could be taken everywhere in the territory.
The territory begins with an observation tower. From it you can see the whole area. Height is about a 3-storey building. In the same tower there is a coffee bar where real fragrant, tasty, thick Turkish coffee is prepared.
Near the main restaurant, behind the restaurant is a large swimming pool with a bar, an amphitheater. Behind the pool there is a playground for children, a fresh playground (watered from different types of dishes, shooters for children, dousing with water like a “brook”). Also nearby is a pool for children with a depth of 10 cm and 40 cm. For the smallest. The entire children's area is covered, so the kids are very comfortable. Near the large pool (depth 150 cm) there are three gorgeous slides of different heights and speeds of descent. Lifeguards are watching.
Near the bar there is a place where traditional cakes are baked (gozleme, they give out ice cream for different tastes and without restrictions, they immediately prepare a large waffle with mountains of fruit and pour it all over with chocolate).
Hammocks, a bunch of swings, a mini football field are everywhere on the territory. 100 meters (closer to the beach) is another bar (which in the evening becomes an a la carte restaurant (grill or fish restaurant)). We visited the fish farm. They cook very tasty.
Also near the main restaurant there is an Italian restaurant.
The beach is huge, probably 200 meters wide. Full of sun loungers, always, at any time you can find free ones. True, some Slavs occupied in the morning, just in case.
The entrance to the water is pebbly, there are both small and large pebbles. From 3-5 meters the depth already begins. There is a lifeguard on the beach. Near the beach there is a smoking room, several changing rooms, a place for washing off sea water. There are also places on the beach where turtles have laid their eggs. They are marked with pyramids. Some "tourists" without reading the information on these pyramids dragged it to suit their needs (hang things, swimming circles, etc. ). They pretend that they do not know their purpose.
Animation for kids all day. Engaged, animators from Nikolaev, children all day and until 21.00. Then a performance in the amphitheater or live music in the square near the pool. Every evening was busy. In the evening, a slot machine hall, rental of electric motorcycles, sand painting (for the money of parents) is still open for children. Adults are also involved - water polo, darts, beach volleyball, mini football on the grass, morning exercises in the water.
The food is standard, no frills. Always available and chicken dishes in different forms (boiled, fried, grilled), turkey meat, beef. Once the people got a delicacy - boiled beef tongues. Lots of pastries, confectionery, yogurt in the morning, always cold ayran, beer, wine. I'm not fond of strong drinks, I won't lie. And watermelons, ding, apricots, plums, cherries can be eaten from the belly, and everywhere (both in a restaurant and near the beach). The service staff is very friendly, although they don't speak Russian very well. German, English, Turkish - easily. Probably we need to learn languages, otherwise we somehow look inferior. Food with the concept of "all inclusive" is given by the local servants, but they always pour as much as you ask. Every evening the restaurant serves delicious goat milk ice cream. For kids, a lot of fun.
I didn’t have time to sit at the table, immediately the waiters (garcons) offer to drink wine, beer or something stronger. Used dishes are removed immediately.
A big plus in the hotel is that the residential buildings are located far from the big beach and musical evenings are not heard in the rooms. There is no animation near the small beach (it is between residential buildings). Very calm area, but there is always a lifeguard.
Summing up, I will say: we are very pleased with this holiday. If we had the opportunity, we would gladly go again.
As a minus - separation from civilization. The nearest settlement where there is a market is about 1.5 km. 20 km to Manavgat, 30 km to Side. From Antalya - 60 km. Alanya is 50 km away.
The disadvantages also include the work of the staff at the hammam. Daily annoying offer to get a massage. And of course it's not free. Towels are also provided and accepted.
Also on the territory there is a shop of sweets, various boats, leather goods. The sellers didn't bother anyone.
There are no diapers in these stores. This is for those traveling with small children.
The travel agent from Anex Tour Shamil did not particularly impose himself with his programs.
Meals: fruits are excellent, ice cream near the pool bar, Turkish cakes, waffles, sandwiches are baked. There are also enough vegetables, but... If you are ready to eat only eggs for breakfast, you are here. If you are ready every day for lunch and dinner, there are French fries, powdered mashed potatoes, nuggets, battered chicken, “welcome”. Nutrition needs to be worked on. Even after the complaint, nothing has changed, unfortunately. The animation is great. Andrey, Dasha, Katya - just super. All laid out at 100%. They are so friendly, smiling, cheerful, active. Thank you very much. Ferid greet people, smile, adequately respond to criticism.
The hotel is definitely worth the money, and if they take into account the wishes of tourists, then we will definitely return here.
Closing all the restaurants and leaving hundreds of people to beg from one food distribution site is something.
But in order.
Territory and infrastructure without repair. Everything is falling apart.
There is no light in the rooms. Only floor lamps.
Family rooms on the second floors without elevators and ramps. Carry wheelchairs upstairs.
Ground floor, rooms smell musty.
Drinks are scary to give to children, solid chemistry. Fresh juices, 1.5€.
For breakfast, we put porridge for the children on sour milk, in horror we feed them brought from home.
The choice of food is very poor. The waiters do not clean the dirty dishes until you get up from the table. At breakfast, you will have to carry drinks yourself.
My friends got poisoned by a child, vomiting, they are in the hospital for the second day.
Cleaning ladies Turkish women in years, very slowly swarming. They may not have time to remove the number.
On the second floor, there is no wifi in the room at all.
Well, in general, there is a large abundance of children, since the hotel is declared as a family hotel in the German chain.
Not enough sunbeds on the beach.
There is no gym.
We were not given a la carte, saying that the next available dates were in a week.
It was very hard to find positives.
The room can be renovated, but the furniture is old.
Great beach, no neighboring hotels.
Were before in another hotel. Heaven and earth.
