The only plus of this hotel is a large territory. But when we went to a nearby hotel, where the same area, but all the grass trimmed, well-groomed flowers, etc. , you understand that this plus is very small.
Everything else is just cons.
We were supposed to go to Crystal, but 12 hours before departure, they called us and said that this hotel would not be able to accept us (and they booked a week in advance) and there was only Altis. I had to agree. When I read the reviews at home, I was terribly upset, just hand over the tickets. (it was necessary to do so) Well, I thought, maybe people are very picky. Still a 5 star hotel…
Starting with air conditioning. This word does not even come close to what they have blowing there. They changed the room twice because hot air was blowing. It was cooler outside during the day than in the room. I can’t imagine how people rested there in August.

Food is a separate story. Turkey has always been famous for its buffet. In any case, I have been in Turkey 15 times already and have always been satisfied with the food. But in this hotel there are very few hot dishes. And they were probably prepared by a person who had no idea how to cook. If fish, then dry, if meat, then burnt and healthy salted. In general, meat dishes are presented in the majority of semi-finished products. I am calm about meat products, but my husband was hard. I won’t say anything about the sweet table - I don’t like it. From fruits - watermelons, plums, absolutely tasteless melons, grapes. Grilled in the evening (one dish) Lord, the grill is small, and the smoke is on the whole territory. You spend the whole dinner in this smog.
We stopped going to breakfast on the 4th day. I thought it was 5 stars. the hotel could fry in the morning, if not pancakes, then scrambled eggs and scrambled eggs.
At the expense of alcohol was only beer, wine, vodka. Have not tried.
In the first days of our arrival, people were brought from all hotels in connection with Ramadan. 4 days was a complete horror. The queue for all dishes is 15-20 minutes. And then you stand with a plate and there really is nowhere to sit. Then somehow many parted and it became freer
In general, this is a topic when people were supposed to be brought to other hotels, but they were brought to Altis. People were sincerely sorry. They paid quite a lot of money and had to go to Arcadia, Papilone and others, and they were brought to this sump. Some did not want to check into a hotel and spent the night at the reception. They created some initiative groups, but this did not help much. It was a pity they were terrible. After all this, I vowed to go at least to Turkey with the company Coral. It is still a mystery to me how they can refuse a hotel if the room has been paid for and confirmation has come?
There was no animation either. One guy was running around, calling for volleyball, some competitions in the evening. Went a couple of times and almost fell asleep. Naturally, the Turkish night and day of the hotel was not even envisaged
The beach is really very dirty. At the expense of the toilet, which is far from the beach, but you can quickly find it by smell. I generally keep quiet. It seems to me that it is removed only closer to the night. Public station toilets are then samples of cleanliness.
The a la carte restaurant was not promised - everything was closed. Juices, Turkish coffee, even for the money there. There was some kind of water, compared to which UPI is a divine drink.

PEOPLE! DON'T BELIEVE THE GOOD REVIEWS. Even 4 to put this hotel you need to have a very rich imagination. Maybe not so it would be a shame if it was a 3-star hotel and the price was lower. Still, for two for 9 days, I think 76.000 is a bit too much in the absence of service. If offered this hotel do not hesitate to refuse. Do not spoil your vacation for your own money. It is better to pay extra and go to a really 5-star hotel. Hotel. Compared to this hotel, there are very decent 4-3 stars. Hotels where the price is much less.
