Transfer to the hotel - group by bus. From Antalya airport to the hotel - 3 hours. The first thing you meet is the receptionist and the girl behind her. Indifferent attitude, cold service. That's what she remembers. Like, why fawn, if the money has already been paid. Gives information correctly. But the attitude towards a person as a beggar. Probably, she treated me that way because of her clothes. Or maybe everyone has that attitude. Constantly pretends to do something, or communicates with someone. If you approach and ask about something, then rudely interrupts with the word "Wait. " As it frees itself, it turns with the same expression “I'm listening to you! ". The blonde girl did not offer spa and massage services. Didn't get it. I think she was more friendly than the receptionist.

Most of the staff are angry and discuss you in front of you, thinking that the person does not understand their language.

And the bartenders, young guys, swear in Turkish, as if to nowhere, pouring drinks, if you just ask for something to drink (drink). The exception is beautiful blondes. Knowing Turkish, it was amusing for me to listen to their discussions and swearing mumbling. In the face - smiled. Nothing harsh was said in my direction. Still trying to pretend good service. Yes, and a little afraid, most likely. My hundred plus kilograms of weight (the bones are large). They are usually low.

And now to the positives. The hotel is good. Although the repair was done a long time ago, everything works, everything is clean. The maids clean every day. They themselves are good-natured women. Always smiling. The shift manager is also a cheerful, positive guy.

The kitchen is excellent. Food is quality. The rules are being followed. Nobody got poisoned. Every day - chicken, fish. Sometimes it's meat. For breakfast - cheeses, sausages, vegetables, fruits, hot and much more.
And also for breakfast - titanium tea, excellent coffee from a coffee machine (coffee, coffee with milk, cappuccino, etc. ). For lunch and dinner, everything is also serious. Food is varied. Thanks to the chef. Different cream soups will appeal to lovers of the first. On the second, you can also find something tasty. Various dessert. Turkish cuisine is rich in sweet food (confectionery). There are always fruits (apples, oranges, tangerines, watermelon, melon, sweet green plum, etc. ) For an afternoon snack - biscuits, casseroles and cookies at the bar. Breakfast: 08:00 - 10:00. Lunch: 12:30 - 14:00. Dinner: 19:00 - 20:30.

To the beach through the underpass, behind the free bar. Under normal road. You'll be there in two minutes. The beach is good. Clean. Sand. Stones - only where the legs do not reach the bottom. 90% of the free sunbeds are whole. 10% - broken. There were enough free sunbeds for everyone. And for lovers of special comfort, there are paid sunbeds to the left of the exit from the underground passage, in front of the paid bar. The sea is very warm.

Pool bar. There is no showcase as such. Just the guys at the counter pour you any of the available drinks. Everything is poured into plastic cups. Only beer - in faceted glass glasses. Mugs, glasses, wine glasses and other highballs are not there. The guys behind the counter are different. But usually everything is poured with an arrogant look, disdain. As if poured at their own expense. But pouring is the main thing. By the way, they don't wash their hands. Even after cleaning the bar.

Didn't use the pool. Not for this, they crossed borders and passed several passport controls. The pool is clean. There is a children's pool nearby. There is a small hill 3-4 meters high. Adults also descended from it.

The rooms are clean. Cozy. There is air conditioning, TV, small refrigerator, wall lamp, wardrobe, hair dryer in the bathroom. Disposable soaps and shampoos. They weren't used much. Towels are changed. The balcony is good. There are two chairs, a coffee table and an ashtray.
If you want a quiet family vacation, then a room with a balcony on the back of the hotel is for you. If you like beautiful sunsets, sea views and music - ask for a room on the front side. When the balcony door is closed, the noise from the street does not seem to be heard. And it will be permanently closed, because it is difficult to sleep without an air conditioner. The heat and humid air will force you to close the doors and turn on the air conditioner. TV has channels in different languages. There is also in Russian. But we didn't watch TV. Just checked the functionality. Construction next to (behind) the hotel and the noise is gone. Everything is already built. The back side is quiet.

Check-in at 14:00. Check-out at 12:00. As an everywhere. When you check in (we arrived at 12:00) they will offer to pay $20 and they will check you in early and in a nice room. We declined and waited at a table by the pool. At about 13:00 we were settled.
Internet. Wi-Fi network of the hotel is available. But without internet. You have to buy internet.
If you have a bank card with Internet payments, you can buy it yourself (when you connect to the network, a purchase page will open. If you don’t have a card, you can give the administrator 2 dollars or 20 lira. They will connect you.

Adviсe:

- For budget travellers, don't change dollars at the airport. The course is extortionate. For example, 1 dollar = 7 lire. It is advisable to buy 200 lira in your city. This should be enough for water, fast food and, most importantly, for bus travel to the center, where there are good exchange offices. They are marked with a “Change” or “Exchange” sign. Once you check into a hotel, you can go to the city center and exchange money at a good rate (approximately 1 dollar = 8.2 lire). 1 lira is approximately equal to 10 rubles.
- Bus number 1 runs to the city center. The fare is 5.25 lire. Public transport stop is 50 meters to the left when leaving the hotel. Stops are marked with a "D". The driver will announce when you reach the center. The whole city understands Russian.
- When shopping, do not show money and in no case give it into the hands of private merchants. As a joke, they will pull money out of you and offer you the product you like for a profitable amount. You can take away by force, and women with a scandal. Educated people will find it more difficult to withdraw money. This is mainly done by clothing and fur merchants. In chain stores, supermarkets and shops with a cash register, this is not the case.
- Trade. They love it. Jokingly call the amount of 30% of the proposed. Thus, you can buy goods for 50% of the proposed. Say that you are not Europeans (Germans, British, etc. ) but from the CIS (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan). Don't look at the price tags. They will name half of the price indicated there. Price tags without a discount - for Europeans. This is in the bazaars and in private shops. In boutiques and chain stores where there is a cash desk, prices are fixed.
- Your tour operator guide may offer a free shopping tour of several stores. 2-3-storey MODA SHOW and seven-storey Marka Mix. Refuse without hesitation. The prices there are 7-8 times higher than the normal cost. You will be licked. If you are a person with a very good income, you can sign up. If you sign up and they will bring you there in minivans and pick you up only at 22:00. You won't be able to leave earlier. Public transport does not go there. We didn't manage to get a taxi. You will sit outside the store waiting for 22:00 in a state of amazement at the extra charge.
- Prices in supermarkets are generally normal. As in the CIS countries. Turkish goods are inexpensive. Clothes are cheaper than in the CIS. Good quality.

- If you leave before breakfast - give a lunch box (takeout box) for food. You can get food. If you leave before lunch, you won't get a lunch box. Consider this moment. You can take something from fast food or confectionery with you.
- Room key in the form of a card.
Bring it to the handle, the door opens. When entering the room, do not press everything in a row. There is a room cleaning button and a call to the administrator. They are marked with pictures. Gently press the lighting buttons and insert the card into a special place near the switches and electricity is supplied to the equipment. Without it, the air conditioner will not work.

Outcome:
In general, the hotel is good value for money. Our modest budget allowed for several options, and we chose this one. The owners should arrange a secret check of the staff and better control the employees. A lot of rude and rude workers, starting with the administrator. It feels like they are on their own. A huge plus in the chef's karma. If you go with a positive mood and do not pay attention to minor flaws, you can have a good rest. Positive returns positive.
