In the month of January, there were suddenly several days off, the child had holidays, so it was a long weekend for me. I spent 5 days in total at the hotel.
The trip was sudden and I didn't know where. There is a site where there is a sale of tickets, and I found 2 to Antalya at such a ridiculous price that it is inconvenient to name it, cheaper only for free.
Then I started looking for a hotel. I was looking for a transfer not far from the airport, so that the transfer would be inexpensive, and I wanted to see the city itself, Antalya. There were no seats in everything decent. In this they were.
Moreover, at a discount and marked "child up to 7 years old inclusive
free". Well, it suited me, the price is 20 euros per day on an all-inclusive system for two. I booked through a booking com. I didn’t give a credit card number, I gave a debit card number for a cat. I don’t have money. I specially started this one, there are different hotels, and workers in them too.

I arrived at 11:30, check-in was officially from 1400, but they started to register me right away, but. . . they asked me to pay extra for the child. I show them a printout from booking, where it says "free" in black and white. They tell me - she already has seven. I to them - inclusive means that they have not yet turned 8. They tell me - booking com - this is not ours at all and has nothing to do with us. I told them - call the manager. About 3 managers came up, and no one knew anything. As a result, a lady came, apparently the most important manager.
She looked at the printout from the booking, said "yes, that's right, in this case the child is free. "
As a result, apparently out of harm, they gave me a room on the 6th floor, where the elevator did not work periodically and where you could reach the ceiling with your hand, and very small. I didn’t ask for a change, because I thought that I paid cheaply, so the room is bad, and my daughter loves to walk up the stairs, and it will be useful for me too.
Food: edible, but the choice is not large, you need to go for drinks yourself, they are not served. Wine is so-so, beer too, coffee from a vending machine... well, in principle, you can drink, it can be worse. You can’t drink coffee at breakfast in metal vats, I think they brew the same coffee several times.
Tipping does not affect the quality - at least leave it at least not,
while you eat figs who will remove the empty plate. Or maybe they think that one or two empty plates is not critical. On the second day I left 5 euros, I thought that maybe I gave a little earlier (in euros)
No, they began to smile at me and that's it. The dishes were not cleaned and they did not.
Regarding the staff - I do not like familiarity and personal issues, but they have it. For me, it is optimal - two-sided politeness and friendliness while maintaining a distance.
An example of a conversation: "Does your daughter have a Turkish father? " Me not". They are
"you're lying". In general, my daughter does not look like a Turkish woman at all,
and I, too, they have such jokes, when I left with an offended face, the manager caught up with me and explained that this was such a joke, like a compliment, and it's funny. Okay, I don't have a Turkish sense of humor.
The sea was +17, air +15. I swam, but I had to walk around to the neighboring hotel, in this the beach was closed, and I couldn’t get through, as there was a guard and didn’t let me in like “dangerous”.

The external pool with slides does not work (probably because it is winter) There is an internal one, it is small and stinks of bleach, my daughter swam there. There is a sauna, but kind of cold. The gym is good with exercise equipment, but I did not go there.
In the prospectus, a children's corner was announced and that they play with children there, and that you can hire a nanny - all this is not there.
I had to drag my daughter to her uninteresting (but interesting to me)
excursion.
Daughter was bored, there were no children of her age, only Turkish ones,
She tried to contact them somehow, they did not want to.
There are many cats on the territory, we fed them, and many vacationers too. I talked with many vacationers, no one liked the hotel - neither Russian girls, nor French women,
nor the Belgians. And the Turks too. "varie bad wanted, variable bad service"
- this is what a Turk told me, unsuccessfully trying in the hall, like me, to catch the Internet - neither I nor he succeeded - and in my opinion no one at all that evening.
There is something strange with the Germans - they run around on their hind legs,
it was not clear to me why (they ignore a lot of their own Turks in the hotel, but they rush to the Germans at the first gesture) They even poured wine for the Germans, everyone else stomped to the bar for drinks.
I don’t complain about anything, I described everything in such detail, for the purpose of which some part of the information may be useful to someone.
I paid a penny for the trip, and I was satisfied with it, for the minimum money I looked at what I wanted, swam.
The only thing - my daughter was bored, well, from the pluses she liked to feed the cats (although I didn’t allow them to stroke, and they are not given) and fly on an airplane. And also go up the stairs to the sixth floor (I'm serious : ) ) We took a computer and she played games on it and watched movies. She is generally very sociable.
even if he does not know the language, he will still play, but there was no where and no one with whom.
The hotel I think is not suitable for the elderly or children, if they want to swim in the sea. And where there is a walking platform - it’s really a good view, quite beautiful, but nothing special.

On the subject of a breath of fresh air - it will do.
It is inexpensive to get to the center by taxi, the city itself is not particularly impressive, well, yes, in some places it is quite beautiful and interesting.
In general, I recommend this hotel only to those who are for "sleeping", who are not looking for frills in food, and who will find a very cheap tour. Well, who goes on excursions.
For those who like to spend time in the hotel and on the beach with him -
look for something more decent, in this the attendants are impudent, and the general atmosphere is not very - tense or something . .
