Just got back from vacation, everything is great! I'll start with the fact that VERY carefully, within 2 months we chose a hotel! Considered only 5 ultra, in Antalya, Belek and Kemer! Before that, I had a rest in two Lara hotels (there are only 5 *), there was something to compare with, this year the prices for Lara were unreasonably high! I wanted to meet the 100.000 rubles. for two adults for two weeks with a flight from Krasnoyarsk (6.5 hours of flight one way). Only the Kremlin was suitable for these requirements from decent hotels! On the coast of Lara and Kundu, this season at Anex, it was the cheapest! I read, probably, all the reviews for the last three years about this hotel and the feelings were twofold! I would like to ask: gentlemen, before you find fault with this hotel, write how much you paid for it and what hotels you compare it with! You can't buy a Ford car and expect the same from it as from a BMW or a Mercedes. . . We have prices for 5 ultras, for two weeks they vary from 75.000 to 215.000 rubles for two in standard rooms, it's foolish to think that these hotels are the same !
Departure with U-Tair airline, strictly on schedule, on a Boeing 757 (terrible plane), early arrival at 06-30 in the morning in Antalya, I put $ 20 in my passport and a note in Turkish that I need a room in the third building, with a large bed and with windows on a quiet, not sunny side. Previously, I voiced a request to the representative of Aneks, they gave the room absolutely free of charge at 12-00, they would have given it earlier, but I refused the first floor.
I forgot to mention the transfer, since this is the base hotel of Anex, they are driven back and forth directly, without stopping at other hotels, 20 minutes from the airport.

The room is quite normal, even slightly larger than in the previous hotel. Cleaning is daily, acceptable, the only thing is sometimes they forgot to replenish the minibar, but after calling the reception for 10 minutes. everything was corrected. By the way, leaving $1 in no way affected anything! The air conditioning in the room is really weak! Three times I went to the reception, it's useless, from 2 o'clock in the morning it works like a fan, if you don't open the balcony in time, you will suffocate! Imagine what happens there in July and August.
The territory is huge, plus or minus to decide each individually! We found so much on foot in two weeks that we would not be able to get through the house in six months.
As for the service, it is quite decent! The only thing in Topkapi in the restaurant is that the waiters are quicker than in the Kremlin. In the bars, the bartenders are great, especially in the Elegy! Special respect to the bartender from Elegy, service and cocktails Super! Someone wrote that there is Turkish worship... complete nonsense! During our holiday period, there were 40% Russians, the rest... whoever was not there.
A lot has already been written about food. We had breakfast in the Kremlin, lunch and dinner in Topkapi, there were more fruits and better service. There is a lot of food, different, you won’t stay hungry for sure, but you won’t get a special buzz from food either! The fact that juices are Jupi, so everyone knows about it anyway, fresh orange from 11 to 19, at least get drunk. Ala carte, visited two, Turkish and Mexican, sign up, without problems and the first time. Turkish, not bad, Mexican Super!
Alcohol. Beer for the first time I meet not Ephesus and not Tuborg! I didn’t remember the name, I didn’t like the taste at first, then I got used to it, went to neighboring Venice, drank Ephesus, no difference. On the entire coast (almost) braceletless system in hotels, go wherever you want, if not laziness.
Strong alcohol. Normal, according to the regulations, ultra, yes, I myself read the product of Italy on the bottles, but this is not what we are used to seeing in duty free, but the price of the hotel is appropriate! I recommend the Elegia bar to everyone, it is open only from 21 to 01, but there are cool cocktails, although they are also available in the 24-hour lobby. Those who want to get drunk, I think there will be no problem.

Animation. She was invited very often, she is Super! As for the local, she is not what! I talked with an animator from Moldova, he says the end of the season, they have been there for half a year, so they are tired.
The beach is sandy, large, there are enough sunbeds for everyone! We personally sunbathe in all hotels only on the pier, there was always enough space and pillows.
From excursions we went to Israel, it’s just Super, I recommend it to everyone ($ 300), if you are interested, write, I will answer in detail. My wife also went to a Turkish bath (hamam), a divorce for money, in a hotel it is cheaper and better.
The return flight was delayed for 4 hours, we were sitting at the airport, and again this terrible Boeing 757 with terrible seats and always screaming children!
To sum it up, did we enjoy our stay, YES, did we, would we recommend this hotel to friends, YES we will!
