When choosing, there were doubts due to opposite reviews, I decided to believe the good ones and I was right! Either this is the intrigues of competitors or how snickering you have to be in order to buy a tour, save on 5 *, and demand an impeccable service. Pay more and enjoy elsewhere. So, our plane arrived at Antalya airport at 6 am. At this time of the year there are not so many people, although enough, in general, it is quite tolerable. Nordwind, no delays, no snacks, no pretensions. We were at the hotel at 09:00, having learned a couple of phrases in Turkish in advance, a kind smile and a gift of good Russian chocolate from the hands of a child, and we were settled not at 14:00, but immediately, in a good room. I also gave a tip, but this is already a token of gratitude. In general, I didn’t really skimp on tips, as it’s clear that the staff is trying, and if you are kind to them, then there is a positive atmosphere around you.
Beds, pillows, furniture are decent. TV works, fridge too. Towels are changed if you put them on the floor. But I always have a question - do you change them at home every day? ? how can they get dirty quickly if you use them after a shower? ? Cleaning every day, drinking water is free, there is a safe in the room, but for a fee.
Plenty of food, 4 year old son was always full. I even more so. Yes, and in this heat, you especially want to overeat. We didn't come to eat. Snacks, snacks, drinks. We have more than half and did not try, did not enter. The waiters are great. The cook too. I even feel a little sorry for them, in such heat to work in such a volume! Few people say thank you to them, let alone put a tip in a box... everyone has the same mentality - we have everything included, so we will pile full plates of food, we won’t eat it, throw it away, you clean everything up after us. It is good that there were few Russians. The hotel is international, there are many foreigners. And on the coast too.

The beach - they brought a super umbrella with them, because the locals paid, but it didn’t even come in handy for us. Until 11 o'clock we did not leave the water, after that we went to the pool, after sleeping we also swam. Water 27 degrees. The waves were strong, but we still swam. There is no smoothness here. The sand is steep, coarse, very pleasant. The beach is really dirty, people are pigs. But this is visible only if you lie there, and if you swim or sit on the shore, then everything is clean. I didn't see any garbage in the sea.
The location of the hotel is great, close to everything. Mega playground for children, fountains, parks, funicular, cafes, shops.
The only downside is that it is noisy so you have to close the windows at night.
The pools are well located, there is a separate children's and adult area, no one interferes with anyone, the water slide is just right for both children and adults. In the neighboring Riviera, there are many more people and they are all in one heap.
On Tuesdays, disco, belly dance, ice cream show, DJ plays music at the request of the guests. In general, the hotel staff is trying, the manager keeps order.
The climate is good, there is no wind, no insects, rare flies do not count. There are many cats, there are special houses for them in the city, feeders, animals are loved here. By the way, no one interferes with anyone, and despite this, I have never seen animal waste, unlike the yards of Russia. In general, I got the impression that Turkey is a wonderful friendly country and we need to learn a lot from them, especially friendliness to all living things. This is a completely different type of holiday, it is wrong to compare one country with another, although everything seems similar, but everywhere there are nuances.
By the way, she was without a husband, with a child. No one pestered, nowhere, not even once, despite the attractive appearance. Apparently those times are in the past. Or maybe you just need to behave : -)
I recommend.
