IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GO TO THE HOTEL WITH SMALL CHILDREN!!!
We rest in this hotel from 10/12/21 to 10/19/21
I must say right away that it is BETTER NOT TO GO to this hotel FOR ANY MONEY:
1. PEOPLE WITH CHILDREN, since the entry into the sea near the hotel is only to a great depth. And teenagers are very bored here, since there is almost no Internet.
2. PEOPLE WITH PROBLEMS WITH THE LOCOMOTOR PARTS. There are MANY STEEP STEPS on the territory and on the beach.
3. PEOPLE WITH COORDINATION PROBLEMS. Any trip to the beach can be the last in this life.
4. LOVERS TO DRINK AND HAVE FUN.
The reason is given as in point 3.
5. PEOPLE WHO CANNOT SWIMMING AND ARE FEARING THE DEEP. We did a mini investigation. The depth at the entrance to the sea is at least 5 meters.
Everyone else - Welcome.
The hotel has many repeat guests, as the unique entry into the open sea, the extraordinarily beautiful nature of the beach, the comfortable, atmospheric area, excellent service, very friendly staff, and excellent food, as well as its location in the city, DO THEIR THING.
I understand them perfectly.
She herself sent the same tourists to him, 10 times, at their request.
I would gladly return to it myself.
Of the minuses:
1. We could already renovate it, but it's not critical.
Everything is painted and very clean.
Beds with normal mattresses.
2. The dishes in the restaurant are not signed. As a vegetarian, I had to conduct additional investigations regarding the presence of meat in a particular dish.
3. There are not always enough sunbeds on the beach, as the guests of the hotel, almost all Russians, behave accordingly. That is, they occupy sun loungers, but at the same time they are physically absent on the beach.
The daughter says: "Mom, when will they stop being so greedy? "
What can be the answer to this question?
It seems to me that never, only when this generation will die out physically.
4. Internet is free only in the lobby and works very poorly.
Only social media is loaded. networks.
I needed to watch instructional videos.
I did it at night, while there was no one at the reception.
5. Very hard pillows. I couldn't sleep on them. She slept on her own, camping one.
Audibility in the rooms: in the rooms we did not hear the neighbors, but in the toilet room you can hear every word.
The hotel does not entertain guests, so it is suitable only for those who are happy to entertain themselves in the city of Antalya.
We went to the old city.
30 minutes walk.
It is so multifaceted and magnificent that it can be visited endlessly.
Near the hotel all possible supermarkets, banks, shops, malls.
There are also several parks nearby, where turtles, fish and various plants live in ponds.
I think that in this city it can never be boring.
We downloaded an offline map of Antalya and walked around the city in all directions.
Two more words on anti-COVID safety: measures have been taken everywhere, sanitizers are always full, public places are constantly disinfected.
If a wedding is taking place at the hotel, then the passage will be closed everywhere. Plan this evening outside.
In general, if the hotel is for you, just to spend the night and eat, then everything is on the level, you can go to this hotel.
Pros:
- clean warm sea (but this is not the merit of the hotel)
- good EFES beer
Minuses:
- At 8:10 in the morning ALL sunbeds are occupied, the beach opens at 8:00 (before this time the descent is at the castle). People sit on small tables that stand between the sunbeds. Three people / five people put their things there. They take mattresses from sunbeds, which you also can’t just take, put them on wooden flooring, stones, around refrigerators, in order to at least sit somewhere! How do you like it: go down the stairs to the beach, understand that there is nowhere to lie down and go up again? IT'S AT 8 AM!!!!
- The “caretaker” on the beach walks back and forth, he’s not even a lifeguard, he just hangs around, starts yelling if you decide to drag a sunbed from somewhere. We had a conflict situation: he started pushing (!!! ) when we wanted to take a sunbed. As a result, we went to the reception to call the hotel manager and write a complaint, and we were told that he would never come, because he did not care what and who did not like here. Remember: you will never see the manager. My advice: contact your representative (Aneks, thank you for being you), and the company begins to put pressure on the administration. Just being indignant and saying something to the hotel staff is USELESS. Only complaints in writing.
- The descent to the sea (stairs) was made through one place, it could have been designed normally (if you are not friends with a physical swarm, you will crawl on the sea for 3 years with shortness of breath; there is an elevator, but up to it and down after it is still on foot) . In the morning it is still tolerable, but in the heat (+43 degrees) anyone will die.
- One day at 8 in the morning we found that on the stairs on the pontoon, which leads to the sea, there is NO ONE STEP, you have to take a big step to go down. They told the “caretaker” about this, they attached it to some snot (they didn’t weld it! ), after half an hour the STEP FALLED AGAIN !! ! The next day, ANOTHER STEP failed.
- There is no bar on the beach, you need to go back up the elevator to take something, then go down with it and then up the stairs.
- In general, the staff is unfriendly, unfriendly. The maids in the corridor do not greet, no one is eager to solve your problems.
- We had a room with 1 large bed + side bed. The attached one is in fact a cot, from which one of our family fell : )) We asked for a replacement in good English, and they replaced it, thank God. But when we left the room, the first thing the maid came running and changed back to a folding bed. Your comfort in Adonis is of no interest to anyone.
- The staff speaks VERY POOR Russian, even at the reception! Their set of words "beer, juice, towel" and so on. I speak 4 languages so everything was great, but if you don't speak English and you really need to ask something, it will be very difficult to solve some problem. By the way, they speak English very badly, but the Russian language is generally a disaster.
- In the restaurant, drinks must be taken at the bar (it is at the end of the restaurant). In principle, not a problem, but during dinner a huge queue is built: there are 1-2 bartenders, and they are not in a hurry. There are few tables in the restaurant, and many sit in the CORRIDOR AT THE LADDER. From there it is really inconvenient to drag coffee through the entire restaurant and then to your place. The restaurant is like a canteen. People who write laudatory reviews, you apparently didn’t have lunch in the corridor)) There are no places already at 19:20, if that. There are those people who stand with their plate above you (or even put it on the table) so that you finish your meal faster and make room for them.
- If you had dinner at 19:00, and at 19:40-20:00 you wanted to drink coffee or something else in the bar, you can do it. The only bar by the pool is open from 20:30, the bartender comes to it from the restaurant. We came earlier, but there was nowhere to sit. All the tables by the pool are sticky, there are cups on them, the floor is sticky, no one cleans it. We were looking for napkins (they are not at the tables) TO CLEAN THE TABLE. Maybe the guests in general should clean their rooms and wash the floors in the lobby? The bartender wiped empty tables very badly (for appearances), but if you sat down at a dirty table, then he didn’t seem to notice you.
- Very often there were not enough cutlery on the table in the restaurant. That is, there was one fork in the envelope, but no knife. It means that someone took a knife from there, and you did not change the instruments. Really? During covid, hello!
- It's going to be fun, are you ready? We go in the elevator, press the 9th floor. We get out of the elevator, go to the room, put the card, everything works, and we understand that this is the 7th floor!! ! WE ACCIDENTALLY OPENED ANOTHER NUMBER WITH OUR CARD. THAT IS A CARD OPENS ANY NUMBER????
- For food: usually chicken / turkey, rice, potatoes, pasta. I can’t say that everything is amazingly tasty, but at least they didn’t poison it, thank God. There is nothing for breakfast: an omelet is made once a week, pancakes are also made once, there is no cottage cheese, sugary yoghurts are terrible. There are no juices in the usual sense, these are some kind of diluted lemonades, some are just water. Desserts are absolutely the same and tasteless. From fruits: watermelon, melon, grapes, oranges, apples, plums. Watermelon was very often WHITE. There is nothing for a couple, there is no healthy food in sight. The hotel is not for children, but in rare exceptions they are here. What do you feed them? There is not much for adults here.
- PAID ICE CREAM (seriously? )
- Wifi: hug and cry. Works only in the lobby, you can send a message / go to inst hours at 6-7-8 in the morning (then the Internet dies for the whole day). Do not even dream about video calling, viewing stories on Instagram. Buy Internet in the top five in 2021: seriously?
- Elevators in the hotel: the joke is still the same. You can wait 10 minutes, you need to run from one elevator to another (there are 4 of them), it will stop on EVERY floor (there are 10 of them + lobby, restaurant, spa).
- THERE IS NO CONDITION ANYWHERE EXCEPT THE ROOM. The restaurant is hot, the elevator is hot, the lobby is hot. Drenched in sweat.
- Those who write that there is animation here, are you talking about the music from the column on the beach? That's all! The music is predominantly Turkish, which zadolbala in the region. It is impossible to listen to this for 10 days from morning to evening. I don't understand what the youth are doing here. NO ANIMATION AT ALL.
- WEDDINGS! Look, I don't even know how to comment on this. We had 3 weddings in a row during our stay. The territory is tiny, so they block the territory near the pool and the sea, and we all stand on top and look through the bars. Who cares about other people's weddings, seriously? Ok, you can look once, but 3 days in a row? Music from the speakers screams until one in the morning. The manager says that he doesn't care what the tourists are unhappy about, like we pay pennies, and weddings are a good income. Guests walk all over the territory, and you seem to not rest here at all. All that is available to you is 1 bar with a limited number of tables. They start preparing for weddings at 4:30 pm, set up tables, and it's already uncomfortable. You can swim in the pool until 7 pm. The beach closes at 8pm.
- ONE socket in the room (the second one didn't work). We are 3 people, each with 2 gadgets. Great))) There is no socket in the bathroom, so forget about your curling irons and razors.
- The air conditioner does not have a remote control, only 1 mode (+16 degrees), at night you can die from the cold.
You can write as much as you want something like "We got what we paid for. " Listen, first of all, I don't think that 170.000 rubles for three is not enough. Secondly, yes, there may be no variety in food, chic rooms, but what about simple sanitary standards? Whatever the hotel is, they must wipe the tables, lay out the appliances, change the bed linen (it has not been changed even once in 10 days). In general, in this hotel everyone wanted to sneeze on you. We took excursions so as not to sit there.
- Views.
- Clean and quiet room, slept without waking up.
- Quality hammam.
- Clear sea, elevator.
- Problem-free rest.
Cons:
- Internet only in the lobby, on the territory for $ 3 per day.
- Inadequate Omar, who threw buns into the sea, like feeding fish. But not on people's heads!
- access to the beach is closed from 20 to 8.
- At least one, somehow not enough. But we are in the city, near Starbucks, restaurants, McDonald's. There is a place to walk.
You will not reach the waterfall on foot, at most - to the park. Take a taxi.
In general, rested well, a lot of divination. There were weddings twice, from 20 to 23, it was even interesting to be surprised. There was also animation. There are few children.
We went together with a loved one, personally I liked everything.
The beach is great for me, that's probably why they chose this hotel, because they realized that there would be no children on the beach. Silence, calm, and music ...There was no sand in my ass, ears or bed. You go into the sea at once - bubbles. At the expense of steep steps to the beach ....never went down them - the elevator always worked.
Location - also chose this hotel, because you do not need to drive for hours from the airport, it can be said in the center of Antalya. Within walking distance, all attractions, although taken by taxi, paid very little for this distance. Lower Duden Waterfall is incredible!
Food, drinks - in my opinion, everything is at the level of a weak five, there may not have been any delicacies, but everything is quite tasty and varied.
Alcohol - what do you want from the local drinks offered at Al? Compared to Egypt, Turkish alcohol is quite fit for consumption : -)
Wedding on the territory - yes, there were two, but it did not bother us, it's in the evening, you can go for a walk in the city at this time.
We got a side room, overlooking the sea and the street. The rooms are quite normal, clean and spacious, as for two, cleaned every day, although we left a dollar almost every day.
For me, the only horror of the hotel - it's ELEVATORS! The guests press all four at once, waiting for the one who will arrive sooner. We lived on the 9th floor like, it's awful, the elevator on each floor made a stop, ooooo, how long it took))), until we decided to ride the elevators of the maids, they are a little scary, but you quickly get to your destination.
In general, I was completely satisfied with the rest. Solid eight - Very good! (minus a star for elevators and alcohol).
Would she go again, without the children? - Definitely!
The kitchen is absolutely not pulling on 5 stars. The same dishes for 10 days of rest. No variety! The meat is constantly dry, the pasta is overcooked, the desserts are all the same, although they look different. 2 types of meat, sometimes fish, French fries from side dishes, which ended on the 5th day of rest, and we didn’t see it again, pasta, rice.
Alcohol
Only 5 types of alcoholic drinks: beer (not bad), red wine; white (very sour, impossible to drink), vodka, gin and raki. Cocktails have to be made from the above alcohol. The bartender girl is always with a dissatisfied face, rude to vacationers.
Rooms
The rooms are small but clean and comfortable.
Hotel
There is absolutely not enough staff. Also, he is not trained in etiquette at all and is not able to talk. They only know Turkish.
The hotel area is very small. People do not have enough space in the restaurant, if they did not have time to take a table in the first 5 minutes after opening, they had to wait 15-20 minutes for a table to become free. There is only 1 bar open, which is closed for lunch and dinner, because of this there are also huge queues at the bar. The elevator system is just amazing. 4 elevators for the entire hotel, which work terribly. The elevator sometimes had to wait for 15 minutes. The biggest surprise was that on the tiny territory of the hotel weddings are held almost every other day, the entire territory is closed and vacationers are left with a small piece with a bar and tables.
We do not recommend anyone to go to this hotel.
Despite the good location of the hotel, it is terrible in almost everything. This is not 5 *, far away. Maximum average 3.
1) Nutrition
A couple of types of meat, sometimes fish, potatoes, pasta, stewed vegetables from side dishes. The most simple salads, desserts and fruits. You can eat but this is not a 5 * hotel menu.
2) Alcohol
He's terrible. Beer, vodka, crayfish, wine (which is impossible to drink), gin. That's all. No cocktails.
3) Rooms
Clean but small and not enough outlets.
4) Maintenance
This is where hell begins. On the first day of arrival, they gave out one glass per hand, after complaints from visitors they began to give out 2. There are few staff and they don’t care about you. The bartender can calmly be rude to visitors. There is only one bar open and it is closed during breakfast/lunch/dinner. There are no coffee machines. To drink coffee you have to stand in a giant queue. There are few tables, it can be impossible to take a seat in the dining room. It's also impossible to sit down late at night and have a beer unless you get a table at 9pm. at 00:30 the lights are turned off and you have to sit in the dark. Every day I had to buy alcohol in the store, because. You can stand in line for a beer for 15-20 minutes.
The music is disgusting, the staff did not hear about spotify playlists. The same miserable Russian pop every night. Elevators are terrible, you can wait for 10 minutes to go up to your room. The staff is rude and doesn't solve problems. In front of me, the bartender threw a saucer and a cup of boiling water in front of the visitor for being outraged that there was no green tea. The maximum price of this hotel is 250 USD. per person per week, no more. I still don't recommend this hotel! Even for that kind of money. Honestly, I don't understand how you can put 4-5 *.
I hope that someone yes will refuse a trip to this hotel thanks to my review.
From the good - a beautiful view of the sea, mountains. The location of the hotel is also good - taxis are nearby, transport and the city are within easy reach.
From normal - the rooms are small, but clean, even the side view of the sea was. At the same time, there is no soundproofing in the bathroom in principle - you can hear what people are talking about in the bathroom of the next room.
Everything else is either bad or not very good - the hotel doesn’t even come close to 5k - 3+, probably (I write 5k, because it is positioned as 5k in travel agencies and services like tripadvisor, etc. ).
Meals - no variety - 2 types of chicken, 1 pasta, 1 potato, 1 vegetable saute, 1 type of fish. In the evening + 1 kind of turkey or + 1 kind of beef. And so plus or minus every day. Snacks at lunch - 1 day sandwiches with their bad sausage, 1 day burgers, 1 day corn, the rest of the days only a few sweets and buns (which apparently left over from lunch). Nobody fries the grill in front of you in the evening - everything is already ready. This is a 3-ki food, not even a 4-ki.
Bar - there are generally 3 of them on the territory, but only 1 always works. At the same time, for example, the pool bar closes for lunch and only the bar in the dining room works - I have never seen anything like this. The number of times when you come to the bar for drinks, and there is a sign - a break for 15 minutes - I can’t even count. At the same time, it is impossible to make coffee for yourself or even pour their UPI juices - there are no vending machines on the territory of the hotel, only a bar. On the first day, the bartender did not want to give more than 1 glass in his hands, and there is no bar on the pontoon near the sea, so you had to constantly go with your wife for drinks, riding the elevator. When many began to swear, they began to give 2 glasses. There is fruit ice - it's not bad. It is impossible to drink wine, beer is normal, from strong - vodka, raki and gin. Everything. This is not 5k from the word at all.
The pool is small, there is 1 slide, nothing special. There are very few sun loungers, everything is always busy.
Sea - only from the pontoon, 1 entrance, often waves. The second part of the pontoon has collapsed and no one is going to fix it. It is extremely difficult to find in the shade - the canopy is small, for some reason no one delivers umbrellas. It will be a miracle to find sunbeds even in the sun. On day 1, there was even a situation that absolutely everything was occupied both near the pool and near the sea - they asked the staff to bring more sunbeds, and they shrugged - no more.
A piquant addition - sunbeds are occupied with towels even before breakfast, they are empty for several hours and the staff does nothing about it.
Apparently no one has heard of air conditioners in the dining room or they can't cope. +40 outside!! ! degrees, and the dining room is so hot that you just sit and sweat while you eat.
Elevators are a separate song - there is no logic in their call, they are slow and sometimes you wait 10+ minutes just to go up to the room (and in the building there are 10 floors + a lobby, a restaurant, a hammam - you can’t run on foot). On day 1.2 out of 4 elevators broke down during the day and did not work until the evening of the next day. It was fun.
In the evening you can sit down at a table, but you have to hurry up, otherwise there will be no place and at the same time a lot of space is empty. If the question is covid, then why are the tables in groups close to each other, and the rest of the place is empty.
There is a catastrophic shortage of staff and therefore various problems arise additionally, such as the operation of only 1 bar at a time and constant breaks for 15 minutes.
Also, they turn off the lights in most areas half an hour after the bar closes (and it closes at 23.00) and it’s not even comfortable to sit and play, for example, board games with friends at the table. The hotel saves on everything.
But if you say - this is a city budget 5k, then I will answer you, as I communicated with several people from different countries who paid for this hotel for 9 nights for 2.1500 dollars. Fortunately, we were lucky and we paid much less, but the hotel is not even worth this money. I do not recommend.
2. Food: one big disappointment. We went to breakfast in restaurants nearby, sometimes you can have dinner or lunch at the hotel, but the same food every day for lunch and dinner became boring on the 3rd day. The meat is dry, salads do not differ from each other, desserts are terrible, once they gave delicious tartlets, all other days there were jelly cakes. Even on excursions, the food was tastier.
3. Beach: absent, if you are going to a beach holiday, then to the wrong address, places under a canopy are taken immediately before breakfast, the canopy is very small, it’s good if you lie on sunbeds on concrete under the scorching sun, but most likely you won’t even have them enough
4. Elevator: we read a review about the "convenient elevator system" and every time we remembered it when we waited for the elevator for 20 minutes to get to the room or go down to the lobby, in recent days there has already been hysterical laughter from this "mega-convenient" system
5. Internet: free in the lobby, which does not catch anything, you will upload one photo to Instagram for min 15. There is a paid one throughout the hotel, it costs $ 13 for 7 days for one device, you connect by MAC address, if you want 2 bodies, then this is already 26 bucks, and if you also took a laptop with you, then give 39 dollars for the Internet
6. Infrastructure: Taxi is right across the road, the price is not very high, usually everything is on the counter, 25-30 lira costs to the main attractions and markets to buy souvenirs and sweets, buses run along the next street, there are many mini-markets around, close to shopping centers and large markets
7. Animation: not available due to covid
Conclusion: a beach holiday with all the charms AL - NOT TO THIS HOTEL.
If you are going to walk around the city, go on excursions and come to the hotel to spend the night, then you can consider if there are no better options
We arrived early in the morning at 7.20 were in Antalya, flew through Tez tur, at 7.50 we were already in the hotels. At the reception we were invited immediately for breakfast, and then they told us to settle in the room. We had breakfast, the assortment for breakfast is quite a decent omelette, boiled eggs, pie, fried spinach, baked potatoes, a lot of greens, cheeses, olives, vegetables and fruits, all kinds of jams, honey and muffins. I don’t know, maybe someone has the same assortment at home, we were quite satisfied with breakfast))). Then we walked around the territory, it is not big, but very neat and beautiful, and most importantly, you go out onto the terrace and you have a crazy view, the sea is mountains, the beauty is unreal, like a screensaver on a computer. The eye rests, we went down the elevator to the sea, entering the sea from the planton along the stairs, the depth is immediately, for those who like to enter from the shore, this is not an option, many do not read this nuance and do not fully understand the seriousness of the situation, then they go to another Beach. We knew and went to such a beach, purposefully.
The sea is gorgeous: transparent, fish swim below, you can see them, you can swim in a mask, it’s very beautiful. I have never seen cleaner water anywhere, this is the difference between entering from the platform, and not from the shore. We were settled, immediately after breakfast, in room 704, with a side view of the sea. On the one hand, a view of the city, on the other, the sea and mountains, super))) The room is not big, not small, for two it is quite cool. There are three free sockets in the room, this is for those who do not have enough. The room has a safe, refrigerator, TV with 8 Russian channels. Everything is clean and tidy. The hotel has an outdoor pool, very clean, warm, there is a slide, not dangerous, it works twice a day from 10.00 to 12.00 and from 14.00 to 17.00. On the lower floor there is a sauna, a hammam is very cool - free of charge, you can stay at least the whole day, massage for a fee for 1 hour 20 dollars. The massage is very professional. In the bath there is a large cool pool and sunbeds where you can relax.
Wi-fi is free in the lobby (in the lobby). We immediately bought paid Internet, because. dependent on this blessing of life, for the entire period, for 9 days cost 10 euros. The quality is very good, the TV shows were watched right on the sea, it takes everywhere, even in the park outside the hotel. Nearby there is a park with lakes where turtles and red fish swim, with amazing vegetation (palm trees, laurel trees, ficuses, like we have in pots in the form of huge trees, olive and pomegranate trees). The eye does not cease to rest, in principle, such vegetation throughout Antalya. Nearby there are small shops where there are chips and if you forgot to buy something. As well as chic Turkish sweets. If you go to a parallel street and go left, there is a Migros chain store. Everything is there, like in any supermarket. Highly recommend the walk to the waterfall. It is located 3 km from the hotel along the sea to the right. You can walk, you can take a taxi. We walked there, it took 1 hour. Along the sea, various parks with exercise machines, very gorgeous views. We went back by taxi.
In Antalya, everywhere along the roadway on trees and poles there are buttons for calling a taxi, for tourists. Press the button for 5 minutes and the car pulls up to you. Carries to any point. There is a counter in lira on the mirror. We paid back 30 lire, which is about 4 dollars. From dollars you will be given change everywhere, in lira, at a rate of about 1 to 8. The waterfall is very beautiful on the territory of a huge park, where there are a lot of cafes and shops. You can just, as in Europe, sit on the grass. The hotel is located in the center of Antalya. In the expensive area of Lara. I recommend walking around the city. There are a lot of shops and cafes. Everything is very beautiful. If you want to shop, I recommend taking a taxi to the huge Deeppo mall, near the airport. It takes about 20 minutes by taxi, the price of a taxi is 55 lira, but you will not regret it, the prices and discounts in this shopping center will surprise and delight you. Of course, you need to go there for the whole day, we did not bypass 10% in 2.5 hours. But the selection and discounts are just superb. Leather sandals can be bought at a discount for $ 25)))
As for the food at the hotel, for prevered. We had enough of everything, the choice is excellent, we did not have time to try all the desserts. Alcohol, wine, beer, gin and tonics are all right, everything is chilled, Martini and whiskey are not poured, but quite decent drinks, we went for impressions and relaxation, in our understanding it was all there. We went on an excursion to the Green Canyon, a super mountain place and emerald water swimming, merging with nature, breathtaking, lunch at a restaurant, trout, lamb. The views are simply irresistible. Highly recommend for those who like to swim in gorgeous water. The price of the excursion for two through TeZ Tur is 120 dollars. The excursion will take the whole day. We fell in love with Antalya and the hotel met all our expectations, everything is close, everything is close. Towels are issued in front of the sea, if they get wet you can change them to dry ones, the same is in front of the pool. The room has its own towels. Cleaning, every day, we didn’t have any complaints about it, we didn’t put money on it. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Our vacation was a success. But for those who are looking for negativity and shortcomings, they will always find them ((((. We are delighted with everything. And if there is an opportunity, we will definitely come back))) A HUGE thank you to all the staff)))
