There is no animation, not at all (it passes in neighboring hotels during the day, but here it can be seen they decided not to spend money, there is an argument - Covid). But in the restaurant there are queues... queues are not for the faint of heart - from morning until evening. In the morning you have to stand for coffee, separately for an egg, separately for a salad, separately for a bun, cheese... the morning becomes not entirely pleasant.
Near the pool there is a sun lounger on a sun lounger, a place must be taken at 8 in the morning. There is a queue for the slides... oh yes, the sea... it is beautiful, but the rest is the same... deck chair on deck chair...
About food: the choice is very modest, only fish from seafood (like sea bass or mackerel and that's it! ). The fish restaurant is closed, covid))))
That is why, due to Covid, the sun loungers should not be moved apart at least 30-50 cm? Hire more waiters, if not, then reduce by 30% of vacationers.
We go to the sea to rest, and not to stand in endless lines and rest our feet against a neighbor, lying on a sun lounger. Probably, I have not written such a long and nervous review yet, maybe it will be useful to someone.
They gave a common big bed and a cot (as I already wrote) for three people to stay. But they put two blankets for three people. I had to repeatedly ask for another blanket, and after much effort they gave it to me.
Shower broke on the third day. The hose was not changed for a long time, but after I unscrewed the hose and went to the reception with it, a plumber was sent to me and he changed the hose.
In terms of nutrition - a lot of dishes but completely monotonous nutrition. Every day is the same. Last year we lived in a three star hotel which was also all inclusive. So - the food was, according to my impressions, about the same with this one. Well, maybe a little better. For a person who does not eat meat, there is not much choice. One - two dishes without meat + vegetable cuts + fruits without exotics, such as apples, oranges, from time to time grapes, melons (not tasty) and bananas, as well as watermelons and pears. There were also peaches. For breakfast, a huge number of egg dishes. Once I saw a strawberry out of the corner of my eye, but it ended so quickly that it caused bewilderment why it was necessary to give it at all, if a handful of people who were among the first in the canteen could take it... sorry - the restaurant; )
WiFi - forget about photos and videos, only text messages with this connection quality...
In general, the hotel pulls not for 5 stars, but for a four, well, in the corridors, the carpeting is, to put it mildly, tired. Service is also not 5 stars. But in general, there was no unpleasant sediment left and everything is fine, in fact, especially if you take into account that the water park is good and the sea is wonderful... True, pebbles with sand and the depth is sharp and fast... For children, the sea is more difficult... But there is a pool... So children are happy. Well, so do we.
I hope my review was helpful.
The hotel is very good. Upon arrival, we were placed in 15 minutes. The room is good as always, everything is beautiful, tidy, we were cleaned and clean. Cleaned regularly, towels changed as soon as we left them on the floor. The mini bar was constantly replenished.
Meals as always in Turkey with all-inclusive conditions. Beef, chicken, even lamb a couple of times, fish - all in different forms, with different sauces... There was steamed food. My daughter loves broccoli and zucchini, she didn’t stay without them in Turkey either. Fruits - watermelons, melons, plums, peaches, cherry plums, apricots, apples, oranges, though not every day, but changed. It's nice that there was an ordinary chicken broth, because. daughter does not eat pureed soups. As for those reviews where it is written about the queues for food. YES there were queues, BUT for french fries!! ! and for the so-called pizza (baking dough with minced meat or cheese) SORRY, go on vacation to eat fries and pizza??! ! Didn't you eat at McDonald's? ! So with food everything is in order with them, feel free to go with the children! Nobody will be left hungry.
The hotel itself is beautiful, there is greenery, the pools are huge, there is enough space for everyone. The children's sector with swimming pools is generally excellent, as it were, in the shade, which was pleasing, because. even in the heat of the day, you could safely run the child there without worrying that he would get burned. The slides are generally super, but, like in almost all hotels, they work on time.
Animation - standard, on the beach - volleyball and bowling, in the pools - fitness, children are entertained too, in the evenings before the children's disco, children were even awarded for all sorts of competitions, which is nice. The evening program is also interesting.
Tourists are mostly Arabs, Germans, Slovaks, Kazakhs. The hotel is really family-friendly, everyone came with families with children. And in response to the reviews of people who wrote that the Arabs climbed into the pools in clothes - these are not clothes, these are special bathing suits for women wearing a hijab!
The hotel is conveniently located - there is a market across the road, there is not even a need to go to Belek for souvenirs and shopping. And the pharmacy saved us nearby, we got burned, ran away and bought panthenol, by the way, the price turned out to be the same as in Russia.
In general, a very good hotel, especially if you travel with children
Returning back to our crystal, we forgot our backpack in another hotel. This problem was quickly solved, for this a plus, they brought it to our hotel themselves, BUT the most important thing is that they brought it, I don’t know who did it, I won’t slander, thank God that there was no money in the backpack, I thought there was even nothing to steal, what was there worries, but it turns out it was not there. I can’t imagine why they need half a bottle of plain water, unfinished tea and, most importantly, 20 condoms, they all pulled it out of a backpack. Everything was turned over there. We laughed at this, but the sediment remained.
Further along the hotel. Very beautiful, lots of places to sit and relax. The hotel was 100 percent full, but there were always enough sun loungers, which made me happy. Although there were a lot of people, but due to the fact that the hotel is long, it is not so noticeable. The food is delicious and varied, from meat only beef, chicken and turkey, there was always enough of everything. Once there was a joint with a turkey on a spit, it was undercooked i. e. raw pieces of meat. there are enough vegetables, various greens and fruits, and from fruits there have always been watermelon, melon, small pears and oranges. Once they brought cherries and bananas, but they didn’t have time to try it, they immediately dismantled it.
About service. I got the impression that Russians are not particularly liked there, in general, they don’t care. (By the way, in the hotel where we spent the first night, very friendly staff, compared to this heaven and earth). Bartenders are generally a separate issue, they absolutely do not know how to prepare cocktails, only a couple of people from the whole hotel made them delicious. Of the bartenders, very few people knew Russian, and even then not very well.
Number. The room is beautiful, all the amenities are there, but the cleaning is terrible, the floor in the bathroom was not washed and even the countertop was not wiped. Bed linen had to be changed every three days, during the entire stay they were never changed, only two pillows because I stained them with dyed wet hair. The mini bar was always replenished. Towels were changed frequently.
Discos in the club are not ice. many Turks and music included for them.
Wi-fi pulled very badly on the territory of the hotel, the only place where you can surf the Internet is in your room, but even then the network did not always disappear often.
Animation to be honest nothing, was only on the large pool. for children, the evening animation is good, but quickly gets bored. every day the same thing.
In general, a good rest turned out, if you close your eyes to the above nuances. Perhaps if there were not so many visitors, everything would be better.
