I visited the hotel from September 13 to 27.2014 with my wife and 6-year-old daughter. The trip to this hotel is the fifth in a row, so I want to realistically describe the rest without any snotty enthusiasm and, perhaps, somewhere to criticize our, still beloved, hotel in a friendly way.

So, in order not to lose precious days of rest, the time of arrival and departure was chosen as extreme as possible. As a result, the hotel arrived at 06.40 am. For many, as follows from the reviews, this is a problem - waiting for a room until 14.00. For us? No problem! Filled out the card, went to breakfast. Then they took out a bag with separately prepared beachwear from the suitcase, changed into the FreeZone, closed things there and at 08.00 jumped into the sea, forgetting about the absence, at that time, of the number. At about 11.00, having drunk coffee on the way, I came to the reception where I was offered a ready-made room, and a family one, two rooms (I ordered a standard with a view of the ground).

Having learned that the room is located in the family building, thanked, refused - I wanted to in the main building. But still, the attention is nice! As a result, the room was received at 12.30, seemingly with a view of the land, but there was still more sea in the window.
In the room, slippers for adults have become more democratic, but cosmetics have become more luxurious. There was a capsule coffee machine with a set of coffee. It seemed that the assortment of the minibar had increased, but we almost didn’t look into it, so I can’t presume to say.
Beach. Here, guys, it's time to sow the grass. Islands of bare earth appeared, which looks ugly and the sensations are not pleasant when you step with your bare foot. Some of the sunbeds can already be changed - some are torn, some are sagging. And a little about WiFi. Everything is fine, but on the beach, I went away from the central alley towards the Beach bar - it disappears. Well, it's not there! Not on a laptop, not on a phone, not on a tablet! In other places everything is fine.
Planted two splinters on the boards on the way to the pier. Also for information.
Food is still excellent. On the day of Italian cuisine, there were even pork products. Crayfish appeared again, the taste is still bland. I suggested to my friend the manager to show the chefs how to cook crayfish and...they agreed! I was already getting ready to go to the kitchen, but it was the penultimate day of my stay, I decided that it was okay, but next year ...I had an experience, somehow, together with the bartenders in 2011, I brewed coffee and made cocktails for tourists in the central bar - that's all have fun! From the new - oysters. A little smaller than we usually eat, but oysters. To them, as expected sauce. Meat and poultry cooked in the oven - overeating. Traditionally, we went to the Steakhouse. Ate steaks, drank under the meat. Live music, nature - great. My daughter wanted to go to Maxi Ledn, they called a car for her and took one away, giving us the opportunity to sit longer.
Great with drinks!

They added Martel XO, Chocolate Tequila (similar to liquor), something else, but I don’t remember the rest, because I didn’t try it. True, with Turkish coffee, instead of ordinary water, they began to bring rose water, it had a soapy taste, I had to constantly ask the waiter not to do this.
weather for its time. Before that, there were always in July - heat, in September it is milder, around 32-36 in the afternoon, even sometimes cool in the evenings. Starting from September 23, the wind appeared, so the degrees decreased even more, and waves appeared on the sea. So, apparently, the 20th of September is a milestone, after which summer is waning even in Turkey. There are fewer vacationers, just from the twentieth numbers a lot of Germans arrived, the locals say that they don’t need the heat, they would have a sunbed by the pool and beer brought without delay. The water park is empty, there are 10 tourists, heaps of balloons for skiing, there is also a bar empty of visitors. The staff is attentive, friendly.
My daughter's sleeve was torn, one of the water park employees saw and brought the sleeves from somewhere, the child is immensely happy.
One day, my daughter and I felt pain in the abdomen, with all the consequences. I must say right away that the hotel has nothing to do with it, there are no complaints about it: a week before, a week after everything was fine. Before that, we dined in Antalya, apparently they ate something there. They called the insurance doctor, looked, gave the necessary medicines, promised that it would pass in two days, it passed in a half. Unexpectedly for me, they called from gastrulation, they said that they had received information that my daughter was sick, they asked if I needed to bring something: food, medicine? Thanks again for your attention! In general, the hotel cares about the convenience of its guests. In winter, at the hotel, by order, all the staff attended courses in English, German and Russian.
I must say that some of the employees I remember visiting in previous years have achieved great success in this.

For those who like to look for the negative in everything. The air conditioner in the room was broken. Some would have shouted: "And this is in an expensive hotel? Why did we pay such money? " I called, exactly 10 minutes later a smiling electrician came, after another 5 the air conditioner worked. He also explained which buttons you should not press, because some of the functions are on the machine.
Made a beach bar. Futuristic furniture, a counter where they sit and dance, a stage, the bar counter itself, behind which an international team of bartenders works. The impression of the bar is ambiguous. There are not many places to sit, the bartenders obviously cannot cope with the influx of guests, there are not enough waiters. A dance troupe in futuristic costumes performs on stage. They say straight from Los Angeles. Dancing is like dancing. Sometimes it's exciting, other times not so much.
Greeted like family! As soon as we sat down at a table in a bar or at the stage to watch a show, our table instantly turned out, in addition to the obligatory chips and nuts, chocolate and fruit. The animator girls laughed about this, saying that we always have the most delicious table. Glasses with drinks somehow filled up on their own - it seems to have finished it, once again it’s full. So, as they say, treat people the way you want them to treat you and the rest will be even better.
This year, I paid special attention to sports. Everything was well arranged. By the pool at 10.30, then, in my opinion, at 16.00. At 17.00, everyone can go for a bike ride for 5.10, 15 kilometers and into the mountains. To the mountains and back driven by car. For four years, my wife and I wanted to take a walk around the golf courses, and then once we went around on a bicycle. Great! Yes, I must say that there is no end to those who want to study, it is desirable to sign up a day in advance - and this is on vacation!
The same picture in the gym. About 10 people were definitely engaged when I went there to work out myself ....once. Classes can be continued in the pavilion, not far from the beach. There are air conditioners, and mats, and instructors in different directions.

He noted one innovation in Maxi Land. Children can be there now until 2 (!! ) o'clock in the morning. Thus, parents are given the opportunity to visit as many recreational activities as possible and stay there longer. There were always cots for sleeping, they can also put a child there during the day if you ask. They also installed carousels.
When leaving, as you know, the room must be vacated before 12.00. Taking into account that we left the hotel at 17.00 and there was a child with us, this created some inconvenience - we wanted the child to sleep before the road. I turned to the reception, as a result, completely free of charge, they gave us a room in the family building, transferring our things there. And thanks again for your concern!
So the next visit to Max Royal once again left joyful feelings from the rest in a decent hotel.
