It took me a long time to choose a hotel for my first trip to Turkey in quarantine mode. This hotel attracted with its appearance, design, concept and beach.
After hearing the positive reviews, I decided
Transfer:
We drove fast, from the airport +/- 1:40.

Hotel:
They settled us at 13:00, before that they offered to change clothes in the Spa and go to the beach.
The design is wonderful, everything is very stylish. A la carte restaurants are generally a work of art.
The staff speaks mainly Turkish. Look for Tamara at the reception, she speaks Russian and will help)
The obsessive behavior of the woman from the Fur and Leather shop inside the hotel was incomprehensible.
She literally stuck and lured on excursions.
Number:
We had a side view, so a piece of the sea was visible.
We were not upset and, after living for three days, we changed the room to one with a sea view for 6 € per person / day.
The rooms are beautiful, you can see that everything is new, large balconies.

Cleaning and replenishment of the mini-bar every day.
There are Russian TV channels.
What I didn't understand:
1. Why is there no hair dryer in the rooms?
2. Why do beds creak in a new hotel?
3. Why is Wi-Fi so weak in a huge hotel?
Nutrition:
Good, you won't leave hungry, but if you want more tasty, come within an hour after opening.
There is a lot of food and different, there is fish, seafood, beef, duck, diet and a bunch of sweets.
There are many bars and food courts throughout the hotel and grounds.
Near the hotel, by the pools, there is a large food area with pizza, nuggets, kebabs, ice cream and waffles.
On the 7th floor there is a nice bar with a terrace.
Territory:
Large, it is clear that it is still being completed and a lot is being completed at night (no noise).
Large warm pools, a lot of sunbeds, be prepared if you want to take a sunbed right by the water - you will need to get up at 6:30 and, ahead of the Turks, take it.
The beach is good, the water is clean, the bottom is sandy, but there are stones.
Lots of places.
Separately, away from everyone, the pier, there are no children and there is a bar : )
There is a water park for adults and a separate one for children.
In general, the area is nice and green.
Animation:
Turkish, we were not interested, but for us animation is the last priority)
What is nearby, what to see?
Close to outlet with lots of brands. We never got there, even though it was a 2-minute walk.
Nearby there are pharmacies, souvenirs, etc.
My advice: rent a car. There is right in our hotel, 45 € per day. We went on our own to Alanya and shopping. It will be much cheaper than a taxi.
In general, we are satisfied with the rest, the hotel is new, stylish, there are no these designs of the 00s, the staff is helpful and helpful. We would love to come back here next year!
