Hello!
We rested in this hotel from 05/29/10 to 06/12/10. This is not the first time in Turkey, so I can say that the hotel draws on its stars.
Large green area, spacious rooms, even standards, friendly service. The only negative for us was the
Russian-speaking girl Valeria at the reception, who honestly turned out to be not very tolerant of Russian speakers (talking with Russians
vacationers at the hotel heard a lot of unflattering reviews about it). We wanted to pay extra on the spot and take a large room, such as a family room
to which we were offered to pay 25 euros per day, in the last hotel it cost us $ 100 for 2 weeks, we had to refuse
and rejoice at the number that they gave. To the question, and if the number does not suit us, Valeria received a categorical answer that the exchange of the number
not possible, because there are no free ones. We arrived at the hotel at 9.30 and were forced to wait until 14-00 check-in (this is normal). I was surprised by the absence

luggage rooms and changing rooms. Luggage was left at the reception, changed in the toilet and went to the pool. There are three pools
open and one semi-open, half located in the hamam. At 14-00 they settled in, the room is clean, cleaning every day, linen every three days,
towels every day. They settled us on the first floor, in fact it is the second. The fifth floor is like an attic, it seems that only from there the sea can be seen.
from the balcony we had on the road and greenhouses, but oh well, they didn’t come to watch from the balcony. The elevator worked constantly. For us, a huge minus
there was a discotheque, because it is located on the basement floor, the sound from it echoed through the floors, and the doors in the rooms were cardboard. So
that if you didn’t fall asleep before the disco, count until 2-30 you won’t fall asleep, the disco was three times a week - a small room, everything is in smoke, 8-10 people are standing
on the walls, drinks are paid. There is a gym, they called it a fitness club, paid 2 euros per hour, 5 simulators from the 80s, of which 2 treadmills
and one stepper, awkward dumbbells, stuffiness.
The restaurant is large with three rooms, one indoor hall overlooking the main pool, the second main hall with food and a terrace overlooking the amphitheater.
I was always amazed at the people who stood in line for dinner 10 minutes before the opening of the restaurant. And they also say that Russia is a country of lines.
Most of those who stood were not Russians. The food for Turkey is standard, baked tuna was served on Fridays, it was constantly
something on the grill (fish, soy sausages, turkey), a lot of salads. Fruits are always apples, watermelon, melon, plum, orange, grape.
once there were bananas (green, but tasty) and strawberries with cherries. You can buy freshly squeezed orange juice for 1 euro, it is paid by card
which you will be given free of charge upon arrival, it is also valid at the disco. When you leave, you will pay for what you have scored on this card. There is always food

no one went hungry. At 12 noon, hamburgers and shawarma types, from 14 to 17 flat cakes, from 16 to 17 tea with sweets. So food is normal.
With drinks, as elsewhere, a standard set (wine, crayfish, whiskey, vodka, gin, beer, cola, fanta, sprite, mineral water, tonic), all inclusive from 10-00 to 24-00.
On the territory there is a restaurant a la carte, paid, on Tuesdays there is live music. There are hookahs in the bungalow for 10 bucks.
So, we got to the beach. I personally rode a shuttle, in the form of a tractor with a trailer, only once, and then from the sea. The schedule is terribly inconvenient. To the sea
10 minutes walk, not annoying. There were enough sunbeds for everyone on the beach, there is a bar. Lunch starts at 12 - salads hamburgers, watermelon, melon, drinks on
the beach is only non-alcoholic and beer. The entrance to the sea is the first two meters of pebbles, small and unpleasant, then sand, but a few meters from the shore
big stones also come across, so take care of your knees. When we were stormy for four days, it was inconvenient to leave the sea, because. throws waves on stones
many girls, including my wife, bought jewelry in the form of bruises, abrasions, scratches. But what a thrill to swing on the waves.
There is a volleyball field, a ball in the bar, there is a toilet. On the neighboring beach there are jet skis, a parachute, a banana and all that. A river flows nearby, water in it
warm, kids love to swim there.
There are water slides on the territory of the hotel, they turn on at 11 and 14-45, the main sport when sliding down the slides is to spray as much as possible
those who lie on the sunbeds in front of the pool with slides, so be careful. By our standards, there is not much bleach in the pools, in Russian pools it
many times more. The pools are cleaned every day, after 7 pm. The animation set at the pools is standard - darts, tennis, water polo. Water gymnastics
I was not noticed, though I was by the pool in the morning twice.

Let's move on to entertainment. Animation pleased, made friends with the animators (Leo, Rosa, Tamir - well done, they work without sparing their belly). Mini disco at 20-30,
the music has not changed for two years already. The club dance of the hotel is probably the same throughout Turkey for two years already. The animators would like to wish more innovation,
improvisations. Comedy shows are all jokes below the belt, many children watch (although they like it), bingo shows are normal if many tickets are sold and good prizes
bought. Mr. hotel, Miss hotel, the best couple of the hotel (which my wife and I became) - normal competitions, a lot of fun. For winning the competition they give a cocktail and
a free trip to a disco in Alanya (and so 10 bucks for Russians, 10 euros for non-Russians)
The fire show looked enchanting, by the way, Leo and Tamir make it themselves. The guys need to perform at different hotels, it’s very cool. Leo is still on broken glass
walks and lies on them. In my opinion, the animators are at their best, well done, but they lack a couple of people.
There is a mini club for children, Rosa manages it. He treats children very well, constantly plays with them, paints. There is a good children's playroom at the mini club
playground, the floor is covered with a type of carpet, so there will be no abrasions in children.
Animation is conducted in four languages ​ ​ - Turkish, English, German, Russian, so everything is clear, in general, Leo speaks Russian well and is a good conversationalist
(who cares, Leo loves Baileys liquor). In the evenings after the show, the animators love to chat with the guests. In recent days, after the show, everyone was invited
dance on the stage of the amphitheater while the bar is open. On Fridays, the animators rest, but someone invited performs at the show, such as belly dancing, etc.
The hotel has shops - leather, products, textiles. Sellers bargain very well. There is an Internet cafe, WI-FI - 3 euros per hour, we agreed for 33 dollars
for two weeks. The Internet does not take well in the room, on the stairs or downstairs, where the chairs are excellent.

To Alanya, Konakli, Avsalaar there is a free bus on the days of the week, an appointment at the reception.
In some rooms, some have remote controls for air conditioners, they are screwed to the wall.
the reception hovered for 4 days that the condo turns on by the hour, then gave up and offered the remote control on bail. Other friends forgot the card from the room in the room, so Valeria
sent them to look for a cleaning lady on 5 floors to open it, although the previous time when there was a Turk at the reception, he sent an escort with them with a duplicate
and everything was ok.
Remote control from the TV on bail 10 bucks, Electronic safe in the room for $ 3 per day, there is no safe at the reception.
The mini-bar upon check-in is filled with 1 liter of juice, 1.5 liters of water, 2 bottles of 0.25 mineral water each. Free of charge, then filling for money
The contingent is mostly not Russian-speaking. There are 30 percent of Russians, most of all Germans, Dutch. There are Turks, Slovaks, Finns, British, Swiss. But you yourself know
that the Germans won’t go to a bad hotel, they don’t even need the sea, they occupy sunbeds by the pool and relax like that.
We flew from Pegas Touristik, everything was fine, on schedule. Even on the last day, instead of departure at 8-00, we flew at 22-40.
The only complaint is to their guide Anna, she sold us vouchers to the hammam, and they forgot to come for us, but she returned the money and we visited the bathhouse at the hotel ($ 30).
We ourselves went to the water park in Alanya, a small but good 21 dollars for the whole day (9-18) with food per person, a child is free, food is 10 dollars. Transportation costs
12 dollars for the road. If someone is tempted by a ticket to the water park in Okudzhalar, ask if you can visit all the slides.
and in the water park it turns out that out of four lanes you can only ride one and only standing in line when the other three are free.

From the currency I advise you to take the euro (or half with dollars). I will give an example - the Turkler-Alania bus costs 2 euros or 3 dollars. Yes, and in the hotel itself, prices are in euros and when paying in dollars
they convert at one rate known only to them, approximately 1:1.5
By the way, they extended the room for four hours, so as not to change clothes in the toilet again, it cost 5 euros per hour.
The hotel has rental cars, bicycles ($ 10 per day), there is a rental of baby carriages (pretty good) (10 euros per week)
Summary:
The hotel is worthy of 4 stars, good for families with children and families, young people have nothing to do there.
By the way, it is forbidden to smoke at the Antalya airport and within the airport, so smokers be strong.
If you have any questions, write, sorry for the many letters
