For those who choose this hotel, please note that the transfer from Antalya airport is quite long (3-4 hours depending on the number of hotels along the way), but, in my opinion, it's worth it. Carrying / picking up tourists from other hotels, we did not like any other hotel more than Utopia. Unless Otium (perhaps), we just saw it only from the outside and it seemed to me that there was a different price tag.
As for Utopia, nevertheless, its undoubted advantage is its location on the mountain, thanks to which the heat is not felt as much as below, plus the territory is very green, in the water park among the pines one could always find shady areas. Landscapes are beyond praise, pleasing to the eye both day and night.
85 steps to the sea and 102 steps to the water park allow you not to get too fat on the all inclusive : -). For us, they were no problem. Both in the water park and on the sea, you could always find free sunbeds, even despite the towels thrown in advance by vacationers.

The food is good. There were always fish and meat products (both on a hot and a cold table). Breakfast, as for me, is boring, although it is also enough. There were always fruits, but the quality was outwardly mediocre (let's say, not as beautiful as in the season on the market), but quite edible.
Contingent: mostly families with children (most from Russia and Turkey), a little from Poland and Ukraine. The audience is mostly moderate, although the dress code was ignored by many, which is a pity. It was especially disappointing to see the public in shorts in the hotel lobby when the pianist was playing (every evening for 2 hours, except, it seems, on Sundays) and in general the lack of culture was felt everywhere (for example, for some reason it became considered normal for many to be the first to break into the approaching elevator , even if he was the last to appear near him). We never went to the animation, only on the first evening we looked from the balcony for about 10 minutes.
The first evening we were placed in the junior suite of the main building, because. there were no standards. It is huge, but somehow disordered, but Wi-Fi was perfectly caught there. Of the advantages of the junior suite - a direct view of the sea, of the minuses - poor sound insulation, which is why the evening animation was very audible. The next day we moved to a standard room with a view of Alanya and a side view of the sea. Animation was not heard there, but there was a problem with Wi-Fi. We did not regret that we chose the main building, because, in our opinion, the views are more beautiful than from the bungalow, and it is more convenient to get to the restaurant, to the beach, to the water park.
From external excursions we took the Water Park at the Rixos Hotel and 3 in 1 (buggies, inflatable structures on the water, rafting). I can’t recommend the water park in Rixos - long queues, you don’t have time to ride a lot, in general, it can be a little better in terms of filling the water park in the hotel. The only reason to go there is to try surfing.
We were very satisfied with the second excursion (with the exception, perhaps, of inflatable structures on the water).
Here, in a nutshell, is all. We wish you all a pleasant holiday!
