My family stayed at the hotel in May 2012. The hotel is really small and cozy. We bought a tour to this hotel based on the reviews of vacationers. I especially liked the review of Vadim from Pushkino. Vadim, thank you very much, we read your feedback as a good story, what we learned was useful to us, thanks again! We knew that the hotel was small, located in the city itself. True photographs are posted on all sites - where you can see that the pool is tiny, we knew that there was no animation there, that the hotel was family.
SO in order:
Hotel -3 *, urban - with a tiny territory, located on a quiet street 2 steps from the main Ataturk street. All rooms are neat and clean. Cleaned regularly, linen was changed often, we threw towels on the floor and immediately appeared clean. There were no problems with hot water, the balcony overlooked a quiet street and you could touch the medlar branches with your hand. In the hotel, in principle, there are few Russians, mostly foreigners.

Indeed, the manager is in the hotel all day long. His name is Ali. All the staff in front of him flies, any of our requests were fulfilled instantly. For example, we brought corn from the market - we asked her to cook it (my daughter loves it) - we quickly did everything and packed it with us to the beach. We also brought artichokes and asked them to cook. For dinner, in addition to the meal, there was a huge dish on our table - with some unthinkably delicious stew - where artichokes were present as a decoration. The attentiveness and attentiveness of the staff was amazing. We were in Turkey for the 4th time, but for the first time we met such a warm attitude. On the last day, we rented a car to drive around the neighborhood - and we were immediately given a lunch package with us, nothing special, but still... Nobody counts coffee and tea, and does not look into the plates, this is a complete lie. Ali has an office on the 1st floor, and of course he is aware of all the events.
That's why he's the manager. Thanks to him, the hotel is completely tidy and quiet. For two weekends, 22 people from Turkish families with children stopped by. So we didn't hear or see them. And no one in the hotel "got drunk", did not fight, did not yell, did not litter, did not interfere with others, as is usually the case with our Russian tourists. We met and became friends with all the staff. The cook came out to us at the end of dinner and listened to our compliments in a funny way, not understanding a word of Russian. Once he even created a chic cake, airy, from cream and fruit! Regarding food - we had all inclusive, but since there were few vacationers - we were served right at the table. Even my husband never asked for supplements, as there was enough of everything. There really was no meat. But there was always a chicken, fish a few times too. We simply did not eat soy sausages. And in Turkey, in general, very expensive meat,
we advise the curious to simply walk around the grocery stores and look at the prices. We had enough food. Several times we went to cafes in the city and skipped lunch or dinner at the hotel. So what? Who can resist the freshest sea bream, grilled and piping hot, along with a dish of vegetables and herbs brought by the waiter. For only 10-12 lire? Is it money? The hotel, of course, did not have much fruit or vegetables, although there were plenty of them in the market. But who will reproach Ali for this? The hotel is triple, small and to conduct business so as not to be a minus - you need to be able to! We paid for 11 nights - 17 thousand rubles per person. This includes transfer, accommodation, meals all inclusive. And, mind you, "regular Aeroflot flight back and forth" !! ! One ticket to Antalya round trip cheaper than 10-11 thousand can not be found. So draw your own conclusions, gentlemen, is it worth it or not to go for that kind of money to such a hotel. How many such cases
when people pay huge sums of money and end up in terrible conditions. Here, no one is deceiving anyone. And no one looked at us, not only in a cup of tea, but also poured alcohol - undiluted! and as many as you want. No problem. We fondly remember the night porter. Wow, we miss you! He spoke German to me, English to my daughter, and had learned some Russian by the time we left. We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Silence, cleanliness, complete relaxation. This is what I wanted. We went to the Cleopatra beach to swim and Uur also advised us to go to the Gunesh beach of the hotel by minibus. It was also cool there, there were almost no people, only the bottom was worse with stones. Near the wild beach. We spent a lot of money in stores. These are Waikiki, Alanium, Kipa, Collins. Chic jersey, good quality men's shirts, cool jeans. Of course, you cannot buy such things in Moscow for such money.

We ourselves went by car to the mountain river Dimchay, there is such beauty around! And they cook very tasty there, we dined right on the water, there are floating tents. We took a lot of beautiful photos on the Ulash beach, which is located right along the highway, before reaching Alanya. There is a great observation deck. We rode on a yacht, bought tickets ourselves right on the pier. In the evening we walked on the embankment - it is very beautiful when the evening lighting turns on. We walked along Ataturk, drank real Turkish coffee there, which must be washed down with cold water. We ourselves went to the village of Avsallar to the beach of the Greenfugla Beach Hotel, there are many souvenir shops, and a gorgeous beach with turquoise clear water. On Fridays, we went to a spontaneous market where ordinary Turks trade, who come here that day. It's close to the hotel. Fruits, herbs - the sea, and a lot of all sorts of exotics. There is always a Turk in national dress and sells freshly squeezed pomegranate juice.
The truth is that every year it gets more and more expensive. But you can take a picture with him. In Kip, we bought a fresh, awesome Turkish delight, and another 5 liters of real good olive oil. Well, of course, we bought olives in the market when we were driving home, the size of a plum. Turkish ayran is generally a swan song. We drank it always and everywhere we saw it. Very tasty, especially if you drink it very cold. Were on top of the mountain in the fortress, interesting and impressive sea view. My daughter and grandmother went to the Damlatash cave, where there are beautiful stalactites and stalagmites. This cave is right next to Cleopatra Beach. In general, we had a very good rest. And plus everything, without any problems and on time flew home on a good plane with good food, a regular flight. Tickets were taken through Sunrise. Everything that was promised to us was fulfilled. I think everyone who reads this review already understood that we fell in love with Turkey. Fell in love from the first time
finally and irrevocably. This country is mesmerizing. With its sea, air, sun. And believe me, if you treat the inhabitants of this country kindly and with a smile, you will be answered the same. Necessarily. It simply cannot be otherwise.
And now think, do you need or do not need such a rest? In a quiet family hotel, where cleanliness and order, and all the entertainment - nearby. And you will get for your money everything that you can get for such an amount. Last year we rested in May Garden 4 *, we still can’t forget, so sorry for the wasted money, the tours were much more expensive, the food was terrible, the rooms are terrible, the beach is full of stones, who can’t swim - don’t go in. So draw your own conclusions, gentlemen. If you want parties, general round-the-clock fun, this is not here. Party and fun in general is nearby. If you want chic food all 24 hours, then it costs a lot more, then you are not here.

And in the Botanist or in the Dolphin for a couple of thousand dollars per person. To each his own.
