The hotel was recommended to us by the manager of Maverick Tour Ekaterina, for which many thanks to her. The hotel is a 3-hour drive from Antalya Airport, in the town of Mahmetlar.
We read a large number of reviews, at first we were even upset - there were the same number of reviews, both positive and negative. Arriving, we realized that it was not the hotel, but the people... Russian tourists could be identified from afar by anti-tank faces)
In Turkey, people are very different, very smiling and friendly.
As for the hotel. Russians, Germans, Poles rest in it. Quite a lot of people with children.

Upon arrival (and we arrived at 12.30) we were offered to wait 14 hours before settling. We did not wait, we immediately paid, for $ 40 we were settled in building B, on the 4th floor, the luggage was reported. The room is not big, it has a huge balcony overlooking the pool, and a piece of the sea, very comfortable bed, TV, air conditioning, telephone. a table with a mirror, in the bathroom a shower, sink and toilet. Everything worked perfectly, if there were any problems, they were fixed within 5 minutes after calling the reception. There were towels in the room, but you can’t take them out to the beach, for loss - a fine. They never regretted the room - we did not hear the animation - and the music by that pool played from 8 to 23, it was not hot. The elevator worked well.
The staff is very friendly and very fond of children. Many people write that no one moves without a tip....I do not agree - we made swans in the room from towels, and the dishes were cleaned, and the linen was changed - and we did not give any tips for this. After thanked, because it's really nice to come to such beauty in the room.
The territory of the hotel is small, it has 3 buildings, 2 swimming pools, a restaurant, a bathhouse - a hammam, a shop - I’ll make a reservation right away, it’s not cheap, the uncle doesn’t trade there.
Excellent animation - beach volleyball, aerobics, belly dancing, children's animation, evening program - well done guys.
There are also many bars on the territory, where you can take drinks at any time - from juices to alcohol.
The choice of food is huge, but there is no pork and beef - chicken and turkey in all forms, fish, everything delicious - vegetables, salads, cheeses, poultry, pastries, sweets....Incredible. There is also a bar on the beach where you can have a bite to eat without leaving the sea.
The beach is a 2-minute walk from the hotel along the transition, very blooming, there are always a lot of places, there are enough sun loungers for everyone, the lifeguard is very friendly, he met us right away.
Bylyi on a massage - having gone 1 time, they bought a course. The hotel guide Hakam is very active in offering it, we were warned about this - but we went to try it, and were not disappointed.
There are beautiful streets outside the hotel, there are almost no cars, the Turks ride mopeds, because gasoline is expensive. Along the streets they sell everything - from sweets and souvenirs to clothes. Moreover, the quality of clothes is significantly different from what they bring to us - I bought my husband a sweatshirt, which, in the worst case, hangs on the Torch for 3 thousand, I bought it for 20 dollars. But in Turkey you need to bargain fiercely - initially the seller asked for 65)))

The bazaar is 2 km on a straight road to the left of the hotel - it's easy to walk, the bazaar is huge, no one bothers. The only downside is that it only works on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
In general, the only thing that spoiled the impression of the trip was the guides of the tour operator Coral Travel. From the airport we were met by a wonderful girl Tatyana - very responsive and friendly. That's it, the positive for the guides ended on it. At the hotel, the meeting was conducted by a hotel guide from the same Travel Karina - a disgusting girl who communicates very condescendingly with tourists and actively pushes excursions. They tried to explain to her that with a 3-year-old child I don’t really want to go on a 2-day trip, who knows where, all the more it turned out that they talk about trains more beautiful than they are, I heard a rather rude answer - why did you come to Turkey at all... I came to lie on the beach and admire the Mediterranean Sea, and not cut through 40 degrees in the bus. A girl no less unpleasant took her back - a certain Gulnaz...
In general, the negative was only for the guides from the tour operator. The hotel is just great, we had a great time.
And on the way back to the airport, we were taken to a sweets factory, where you could buy everything at wholesale prices - sweets, souvenirs, jewelry, clothes, toys! Vacation was a success!
