We were two adults + a 15 year old child. Standard number. The remoteness of the hotel from the airport is large, it takes a long time to drive, but a bottle of wine along the way solves this problem. The hotel is territorially the last in the list of vacationers, so consider this feature when planning excursions - you will be picked up first, go around all the other hotels with you for about 4 hours and return last. The territory of the hotel for 5+ everything is well-groomed, trimmed. The hotel has a cascading territory, steps, so people with problems of the musculoskeletal system should not go here.
Chickens and roosters roam the territory, crowing loudly in the morning, so you may not need an alarm clock if you sleep with an open balcony. The rooms are good, with traces of fresh renovation. Cleaning is normal, only the mini-bar was replenished every other day, sometimes there were no bath towels at all. We had a room on the 2nd floor, indicated the wish when buying a tour after reading the reviews. I don’t recommend the 1st floor at all - we weren’t there, but in fact the numbers on the 1st floor look like 0, because dug into the ground, they write that it is damp there.
Animation: we didn’t see it at all, except for concerts in the evenings - it suited us personally - we don’t have small children, but I’ve seen good animation in hotels in my life, when both adults and children had fun, so the rating for animation is 1. Before The beach is driven by a bus - there are no problems with this - it runs often, they give out masks, but it’s not far on foot either. The alcohol in the lobby is decent (I love brut champagne) - everything suited us, the lobby is open around the clock. On the beach and in the dining room, the wine is worse. I didn’t write “dining room” for nothing, because. food quality is disgusting. I'll tell you that there is everything, but it's all DELICIOUS. It seems to me that the owner of the hotel needs to pay special attention to this, the amount of food thrown out goes off scale. There were also shrimp and crabs, but guys, this is only good for bright photos - it's not edible at all. Vegetables are tasteless. For some reason, the red fish was fried and it became dry. Perhaps it is beneficial for the owner to work in the trash. As our tour operator said, food is an indicator of the star rating of a hotel. But this hotel has a big problem with good quality food. Of course, if you like french fries and spaghetti, then here it is served three times a day in unlimited quantities.

A separate topic is excursions from the Anex tour. This is generally such a @balovo. We bought Pamukalle, paid $200 for 3 people, and also bought Cleopatra's pool separately from the guide at a price of $13 per person - Anex-tour infolist price is $10 per person. For information: at the box office on the spot, tickets can be bought for $ 5 per person and Pomukalle itself is worth it if you buy it at the box office, in my opinion, for $ 7 per person - you just need to get there yourself, because apart from the photos you will not receive any interesting information from this excursion, you will be taken all day to some shopping centers, where you will be offered Turkish wine at $ 80 per bottle (we decided that we are not so rich and will be content with proseco for 10 euros) and Turkish towels at an exorbitant price , and you will spend almost a day on this trip, about which no one will warn you.
Anex-tour also offered a free trip from the hotel to shopping. We went to the leather and fur center, where I wanted to buy a leather jacket. We arrived at a shopping center with an assortment of "hello from the 90s for women of Balzac age. " Some jackets with fluff and feathers, I was generally scared, because. I have not seen such a g... vna in large numbers for a long time. After a short conversation with the manager, I was shown an assortment of leather jackets. I tried on something, I can’t say that I really liked something in particular, we approached the conversation about the price and TAAAAAAM: only today and only now they were ready to sell me this jacket for only $ 450. I just don’t know, it seems that we looked like intelligent people, but when I said that in Kyiv at a sale I would buy one at a sale for $ 200, they started telling me something about super quality, when it didn’t affect us , the price was brought down to $ 390, and when this did not work, the seller began to get frankly angry, and the Anex-tour manager was clearly interested in my purchase, because. this girl also sincerely wondered how I could refuse such a "profitable" purchase. In general, as usual, I do not recommend the Anex tour.
The hotel is up to you, but the food is g. . . vno.
