Were visiting our daughter in St. Petersburg. We went to "Intourist", we were offered the hotel "Merian 5", a week later we were in Antalya. Met a guide from a tour operator. We arrived well, the bus was air-conditioned, the roads were good (there was a technical stop along the way, however, as well as back). I think that it is completely unnecessary, it would be better to get to the place as soon as possible. Yes, and early in the morning, when we were driving back, we had to leave earlier because of this. All so that people buy something in these places. Guides are paid extra for this, but tourists suffer, especially it was a pity to wake up children early in the morning, but here they just lost time like that.
Judging by the signs in Russian, only Russians are brought in (would they try to pickle the Germans like that! ). They settled in right away. The room was standard, they said: You have a gift from the hotel - a family room. The gift turned out to be a trick, the smoke from the kitchen and the clink of plates did not allow opening the balcony. The room is small, clean, though the shower is a little shabby but the water pressure is very good). The door in the closet was broken (the husband tried to insert the door, a beam fell on him from above). They asked for another room, they gave it without talking, but... with a view of the road. It's even worse than cymbal clatter. All night the passing transport does not let you sleep.
The rooms are cleaned well. Towels are changed every day, the bar is also replenished every day, water is always in the restaurant, take as much as you want. They feed great. Everywhere you can eat. The staff in the restaurant are efficient and very friendly. The sea is beautiful. The fact that deep is only a plus. Of the shortcomings - a lot of smokers, especially the Germans, they interfere everywhere on the beach and in the evening near the pool at the bar. It seems that they come to the hotel to drink beer and eat. You see them from morning till night sitting at tables with beer in their hands and smoking in all corners of the hotel.

Paid wifi and safe - VERY BIG MINUS! You can complain about the fact that in the hammam and sauna they do not give towels if you do not have a massage (and it is paid). Once you can bring with you from the room. In general, despite some shortcomings, we had a good rest. The sea is gorgeous, and this is the main reason why we fly so far.
