Rested from May 29 to June 12.2009 Rest was a success. There were three of us, husband and 9 year old child. After reading the reviews, we were expecting much worse. We bought a tour of Pegasus, a flight without delay, a regular transfer. We drove 15-20 minutes from the airport. They didn’t look for a guide, she didn’t look for us herself, they bought only a survey to Antalya, and even then they regretted it. For shopping, they are taken to centers from which they have a percentage. Very expensive. Overview only title. You can get to the city by yourself on a local minibus, the fare is 1 euro.
Check in took place within 2 minutes. We prepared to put 20 dollars in the passport, as advised, but for the time being they explained what we wanted, received cards from the number, asked, they said even, I remember that they are better. Maybe we were just lucky, but absolutely without any investments in the passport, we got a room on the 1st floor (actually-3), with a large terrace (neighbors through the balcony, elderly Germans in the morning did a thorough exercise and a side view of the sea and neighboring Concorde. Plus this floor, in addition to terraces, also in the fact that the beautiful elevators really can not cope with the flow, we mostly walked, although my son just rode these elevators to one floor at the reception, there is also a restaurant. The room is spacious, the bathroom is clean, the plumbing is sparkling. In the first I left only 1 dollar a day, linen was changed every other day, towels were changed every day, all plumbing was cleaned every day. The hotel itself is very beautiful, amazing pools, overflowing from one to another. Pools are designed for all categories, starting from a depth of 35 cm, 80 cm, 1 m , 1.20m, 1.40m Although after the slides (we worked 2 times a day for 2 hours) I always took my child to the sea. There are pools and houses, but there is no sea.
The service did not really like the "too zealous attitude" of the waiters towards the Germans. On the last day before departure, their local "falcon maker", who makes fresh juices in the morning, dared to raise a Russian-speaking tourist from the table on the terrace for dinner, supposedly the Germans had booked this table. What kind of reservation can be in the main restaurant, this is not a la carte. The German woman simply wanted to have dinner in the open air, and not in a stuffy restaurant. Yes, and they immediately run to pour drinks, although it was not a problem for us to take everything we needed ourselves. The food is varied, I don’t know what people eat at home when they write that there was nothing to take. If there wasn’t just boiled beef, then there was chicken, and this is in addition to all kinds of meat stews, chicken rolls, grilled stew, and some meatballs. The fish was every day, of course not red, but I even ate trout. We didn’t take any salads with mayonnaise and sausages, in such a heat we didn’t really want to, salads only from fresh vegetables and herbs could be chosen. Sweets and pastries (very tasty) have already simply taken what they have not tried yet. Yes, there were no strawberries and cherries, this is a minus, and watermelon and melon appeared every day on the sixth day of our stay. There is a diet table, and a separate children's restaurant, and a snack bar on the beach, a snack tank, a street of snacks - but in reality - a full lunch or an early dinner (until 17.00). I can’t say anything about alcoholic drinks, they weren’t very interested, Ephesus beer, ordinary. Twice reserved a la carte, the first - went to a Turkish restaurant, so the same bar on the way to the beach, only with table service. In the main restaurant, the choice is much wider, so they didn’t go to Italian anymore, especially since he was on the beach at all. There were queues, but I can’t say that I would have stood for the same meat for more than 2-3 minutes at least once, and that’s because they cut it and put it on your plate, and you don’t take it yourself, and there were places right away, although there were people a lot, compared with the same Concorde and Dolphin. You could judge by the number of people on the beach. And the price in the same hotels is 1.5-2 times more expensive, so the choice of a vacationer is either strawberries and cherries (not the fact that they are also available), or an overpayment for these hotels.

About Animation I can only say about the nursery, I saw and heard them, stubbornly called my child to at least go see, but he did not want to. I found a comrade, and they had enough slides. The adult was of little interest to me, I wanted a relaxing holiday. I saw at the reception every day the announcements of some shows, there was a Mongolian circus, and a Turkish night was held, and something else, there was something every day. Special thanks to the girl Yulia at the GEST RELATION (guest relations department), she listened carefully to my questions and gave very detailed answers, even those that did not concern their hotel, where to buy, how to get there, even drew diagrams, and an annotation to anesthetic, bought in Antalya translated.
The beach has a blue flag, sand and at the entrance to the sea. The awnings are large, although they came at 10 am, and sometimes later, I always found free sunbeds, I don’t know who went to take them at 7 am, although this is also our disease, they threw beach towels on the sunbeds, they seemed to be busy, but they themselves went to dinner and sleep, let them be so to speak for a guarantee. Cigarettes for cigarette butts, trash cans, bins for dishes every ten to fifteen meters, but our tourists manage to shit here too. Under the canopy opposite me lay a young woman, with a claim to intelligence, finished reading a book, got up from the sunbed, left three in the sand next to him !! ! glasses with drinks and cigarette butts stuck in the sand around them, and in the same sand her own child was crawling next to her.
Of course, you can look for cons in everything (which I can include the absence of strawberries and cherries, and also a paid safe 6 dollars (but they knew about it), but we went to rest by the sea, hot sand, we liked it. Wonderful vacation.
