I can recommend the hotel for connoisseurs of a simple holiday: great weather, warm sea and wonderful cuisine.
Now in order.
The hotel is located in Lara - the elite district of Antalya. Around - private apartments, small hotels and residential buildings. It takes 30-40 minutes to get to the center by bus, the airport is very close. And this is a little annoying, because some of the planes come in for landing quite low right above the hotel. Sleep, however, it does not interfere.
Comfortable simple rooms. Everything you need is there and works. I was pleased with the presence of a modern TV - you can watch movies from a laptop on a larger screen.
There is wireless internet in the hotel, although acceptable access is only in the lobby. For mail and Skype it is quite enough.
The service is not intrusive. The staff is friendly enough. For communication I recommend Turkish or English. The girl at the reception is fluent in Russian, some waiters sometimes also show knowledge of the Russian language. If you speak English poorly, do not spare money for a phrasebook or Turkish dictionary - it greatly expands the possibilities both in the hotel and in other places.
In the hotel rest mainly Turks and Iranians. There are Germans, Scandinavians, Ukrainians and Russians.
The pool is excellent, spacious terrace, pleasant Turkish music at dinner (more on that separately)).
The animation was not noticed, however, we didn’t need it. Children have fun on a small playground, play table tennis and darts, swim in the pool.
The nearest beach is 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel. Sun loungers and umbrellas are not included in the tour price. If you walk a little further behind the neighboring hotel Sera, you get to the promenade with an excellent city sandy beach several kilometers long. Every 200-300 meters - showers and toilets. Sun loungers for free. Take an umbrella with you.
Shopping in Antalya is wonderful, if you spend time looking for good shops, you will get a lot of pleasure. Just cut off the tags from the purchased clothes and do not carry sheepskin coats in bags labeled "leather"! Ukrainian customs officers will be happy to talk with you. )))
Do not choose this hotel if you prefer meat and potatoes and borscht! Eat this at home. In Turkey, you will find many dishes with vegetables. Turkish cuisine cannot be called vegetarian, meat is present, but not as a dominant, but as a harmonious addition (one or a couple of dishes with meat is required). The food is light and plentiful, you will lick your fingers: eggplants and zucchini are just delicious, pickles and vegetables, salads and fruits, fragrant greens, real Turkish tea and oriental sweets.
Also, do not count on a plentiful drink "on the ball", thump elsewhere! Drinking is not approved here. You can drink wine, beer or vodka - all locally produced.
Do not rush to be the first to lunch or dinner. Firstly, it is impossible to stay hungry - the dishes are constantly updated, and secondly, this will allow you to avoid unnecessary and annoying crowds near the tables with dishes.
I especially want to talk about the local fauna. There are a lot of pets in Antalya: cats and dogs. It is difficult to call them homeless, the attitude towards them is good. The dogs are all tagged and calm.
Cats - all kinds of colors and stripes. They often visit the hotel and willingly allow themselves to be fed. Breakfast and dinner are especially respected. But be careful and do not attract the attention of the staff!
In general, I liked the rest, the impression was only a little blurred by the strange bill presented to us when we checked out of the hotel, about the drinks we allegedly ordered in the room. Perhaps the waiter incorrectly wrote down the number where he delivered the order, there may be another person who took it. The amount was small, and the time was early (5 o'clock in the morning) - I did not want to understand and make a fuss.
Now in order.
