The Rixos Lares hotel is located in the suburbs of Antalya (Lara, Kundu) (to the center by bus 15min), near the airport (I consider this a plus in terms of saving time).
Outwardly, it resembles a military base - three khaki towers, and not at all as tall as in the photographs. Inside is quite decent, beautiful glass elevators, a fountain, in the evenings - a pianist (amazing! ) in the lobby bar.
The food is varied, but there is still no fresh juice! There are 7-8 types of cheeses, a huge selection of jams, yogurts, etc. A separate table with greens, from which you can prepare a salad according to your desire, and similarly with fruits - citrus fruits, apples, pears are peeled and cut. Desserts - no comment, everything is fine!
On the -1 floor there is a discotheque, sauna, Turkish bath, swimming pool (approx. 15m).
At Moonflower bar after 21h. various events (karaoke, concerts) are held.

There is also a bar on the 8th floor - overlooking the sea - amazing, but unfortunately it was closed in February!
The territory is not very large, an impressive pool, there is a children's pool and slides.
The beach is sandy, bulk, small pebbles by the sea.
Compared to neighboring hotels, Rixos looks more than modest.
Next door is the Titanic Hotel - looks cool, but, in my opinion, they went too far with the name.
Outside the territory (at the entrance to the hotel) on one side is a swampy area (and 2 turkeys, chickens, geese “graze” on the lawn), behind it are a number of shops and a shopping center. Pretentious hotels-palaces are being built all around, so, soon this area will not be called a suburb.
About the weather in February.
During the day it is about +20, it is warm and good, but as soon as the sun sets, it becomes cold.
Ripe oranges and lemons on the trees.
It is quite possible to sunbathe on the beach - there are sun loungers, towels, tea, coffee, water.
The sea is about 15-16 degrees ...but some swim - For an amateur))))
It is cold on the coast because of the wind.
In general, it is very unusual to sunbathe on the beach or ride a yacht while snow-capped mountain peaks are on the horizon, and this is in Turkey!

Conclusion: no complaints, everything is great.
P. S. Be sure to walk along the coast of Antalya, there are very beautiful views and a wonderful waterfall!
