Recently returned from Utopia. Traveled with my husband and son (8 years old). Everything was just great! I read a lot of reviews, both good and bad, before leaving. Most of all I was afraid of settling in a hotel, because they wrote that there could be problems with this. We arrived in Antalya around 9 am, arrived at the hotel around 13.00. Met Coral. We were lucky that everyone was going to Utopia, so we didn't go to other hotels. The bus ride took less than 3 hours. At the reception they told me to leave my passports, put tags on my hands and sent me to eat. When they ate, they immediately gave cards from the room, and at my request, 2 pieces. Honestly, I invested 20 bucks in my passport, although I think that it was possible not to lie down. We had paid for a room in the main building (+$100 when buying a ticket), and they gave it to us. At first I was upset that it was on the top floor, but then I saw a huge balcony, almost without a roof, and was delighted - you can sunbathe there without anything and no one will see you! : ) The room is great,
bedding and towels are crisp white, like in Tide's ads. One double bed + 1 folding bed, but with an orthopedic mattress + chair, table and on the balcony 2 chairs and a table. The closet is huge and has a free safe. In short, everything is as in the pictures, only the folding bed let us down, I thought that there would be another full-fledged bed, but quite comfortable. By the way, they have rooms without balconies, they are also beautiful and huge in size! Our room overlooked the sea and the amphitheater. Somewhere until 23.00 there are concerts in the amphitheater, so it is noisy, and there is a rumble from the lobby bar. Therefore, next time I will try to take a villa because of the small, because he goes to bed at 21.30, and it is problematic to fall asleep in the noise. As for the steps - it's not so scary. We went down to the water park almost every day and our legs almost did not buzz. The water park is just great! By the way, they wrote that it works at certain hours, but you can stay there all day, just the slides are closed for lunch.
There is a bar that is open from 10.00 and a restaurant from 12.00. Once they broke off to go upstairs and had lunch right there - it’s normal, if not every day: french fries, pizza, a couple of salads, and different drinks. In general, there is a bar near each pool (upstairs near the main building). Decent spirits in the lobby bar and "Laguna". The first day I tried different cocktails, they were delicious, but at night my head ached. Then I drank only Martini and Belis, it's all Turkish, but it tastes very decent, especially their Belis, and of course everything is free. There is absolutely nothing to spend money on. Perhaps excursions, but they are all distant and did not interest us. The beach is very decent, there is also sand, in addition to pebbles. We were there only once, the water was still cool compared to the pools, somewhere around 18-20 degrees. In general, the weather was super, like in the summer with us, one day was only cloudy. The food was just super, I won’t even list it - there was absolutely everything!

Paid only fresh juices. By the way, there are shops there, in the main. building and on the street. So, if you want to bring sweets home, then buy them, no matter what the guide tells you. At the hotel, 1 box costs $1-3. At the sweets factory, where you will be brought on the way back - starting from $ 6.5, and in duty free - starting from 6.5 euros!
The animation at the hotel is quite decent, it takes place during the day near the main pool, but there were always no places there, but it was super for us in the water park. Toward the end of the trip, the animators appeared in the water park, there was yoga, water gymnastics and various games in the pools, cool.
We left at 5.25 am. They didn’t give us food with us, but at 4.40 they fed us a little in the main. restaurant. We drove back faster, about 2 hours by bus. The only discomfort was at the airport. Firstly, after you entered the airport building - you can not smoke, this rule was introduced this year. Secondly, there was a huge queue for registration, served only 2 windows,
although there were 3 windows for other aircraft. Therefore, when the time of registration was already over, the queue was still unmeasured. Therefore, I flew into the dutik only for 15-20 minutes. After that everything was fine.
In short, I will definitely go to Utopia again, I liked the wrong word! And do not be afraid of stairs, there are not many villas at the very bottom, just ask to settle higher, but it will be quieter there.
