We found a tour to this hotel only at Pegasus. In the city hotels of Antalya (namely, in the area of ​ ​ ​ ​ the old city of Kalechi), only Pegasus had tours. They flew by charter. Everything is on schedule. Control, customs, distribution on buses - everything is clear and fast. First, our bus called in two other hotels. Our Oscar was the last.

Neither the driver nor the accompanying girl knew exactly where he was. Found. Filled out the card. There are no wristbands. Everyone already knows everyone. They said that there were no available rooms until the morning and they settled on one in a neighboring building. In the morning, at 7-30, the room was already free for us.

Initially, we chose not a standard room, but a deluxe. At 7:30 we moved into it. Everything was exactly as shown in the photographs. Only in a much smaller size. But, since this is a city hotel, we did not count on large areas.

Our deluxe room is two floors.

On the first floor there is a bathroom with a shower cabin, hair dryer, shampoo and shower gel. Also, on the 1st floor - like a living room - two armchairs, a mirror, a dressing table, a wardrobe, air conditioning, a TV. Wooden staircase to the second floor. There is a bedroom (large bed) and another TV. On the ceiling is a mirror. Both TVs have only one Russian channel - Russian Music Box. There are also English speaking channels. And we had a balcony. Big enough.

Balconies are not available in all rooms. Even the adjoining deluxe room did not have a balcony. Simply - a very spacious one-story room. Balconies are available in 801.804, 701 and 704 rooms.

How things are in other rooms - I do not know. We met a couple, they lived in an ordinary, standard room. The room is said to be very, very small. Apparently, as stated on the site - 8 square meters. m.

Cleaning was every day. They took out the trash. Towels were not changed every day. They just rolled them neatly. The bed was changed on the 3rd or 4th day. Noise isolation in the rooms is poor.
When the hair dryer was turned on in the next room, we could hear this hum as well.

Our air conditioner worked 24/7. The key in the rooms is not electronic, but normal. But a plastic thing is attached to it, which is inserted into a special connector and then electricity appears in the room. We separated the key itself and this plastic thing. And then - they left the network on, and the air conditioner did not turn off even when we left the room.

For breakfast - cereals, chocolate balls, milk, vegetables, cheese, sausage, butter and many types of jams. Bread of several types. Tea (black, green, fruit) and coffee. It's all free. Freshly squeezed juice and scrambled eggs, which were fried right here in front of you - for a fee. 2 euros.

For dinner - soup (mushroom, vegetable, vermicelli). Vegetables, herbs, cheese, sausage, salads. Watermelons, melons, pears, cherry plums, plums. There was soft ice cream, the next day - vanilla pudding, then - chocolate pudding. Bakery.

Grilled dishes were always fried for dinner - chicken, fish, meatballs. The portion consisted of this grilled dish, plus rice and vegetables. All drinks at dinner are chargeable. Tea and water - 1 euro, cola, fanta and so on - from 2 euros. When you sit down at the tables, waiters come up to you and ask what kind of grilled dish you will be and what you will drink. Everyone brings. And they bill you for the drinks you sign for. You can pay at least every day, at least 1 time during eviction. They accept both cash and cards. You can use lira, you can use dollars, you can use euros.

You can swim in the pool from 10-18 and from 21-23. When breakfast was over, the waiters cleared the tables and set up sun loungers with mattresses. By dinner - all the sunbeds were removed and the tables were set again. The pool is 140cm on one side and 180cm on the other. Length (approximately) 6-8 meters. I saw fallen leaves being scooped out of the pool in the morning with a net. But never in 7 days did I see it being lowered and cleaned.
The reception will always tell you how to get to the object you need.

Shopping both in the centers and on the shopping streets is pleasant. We eventually bought a new suitcase and it turned out to be completely filled with all our acquisitions.

The hotel does not have its own beach. You can take a tram and drive to the right to the final stop (2.5lira = 50 rubles). There is Konialti beach. Small pebbles. Back, too - on the tram.

You can take a bus and drive to Lara Beach. Also 2.5 lira. There and back - 5 lire. But both the first and second are the usual urban, unorganized beach.

We did not go anywhere, but walked through the park right to the beach, which is on the rocks. It's called Adalar Beach. Walking - 7 minutes. It costs 10 lira. If you say that you are from the Oscar Hotel, then 7.5 lira. You are provided then - a deck chair with a mattress, an umbrella. There is a shower and toilet on site. Tea is provided free of charge.
When descending into the sea, there are inflatable circles, masks, tubes, long polystyrene sticks (I called them "sausage"). They can be used freely. You can leave the beach area and re-enter, warning them about it. Descent to the water - stairs. And immediately - deeply. For those who are not afraid of the deep and swim well - a great option! !

If we decide on such an active holiday again, we will choose Oscar again!
