We rested in this hotel with a family, with daughters 3 and 11 years old from 03.07 to 17.07. Responsible attitude to the choice of hotels, so as not to spoil the rest. Rested before that only in 5 *: Rixos Beldibi 2007, Titanic 2008, Cornelia Diamond 2009.2010. Booked this hotel back in March. Until the last, there was a feeling of anxiety that the hotel would not be opened on time and everything would not be done as promised in the advertisement. This feeling intensified as the first reviews of vacationers in MAKS appeared in May and June.
Firstly, I can say that today Max Royale has every reason to be considered a 7 * hotel, as it was often described to us not only by hotel employees, but by sellers of numerous shops in Belek and Antalya.
Good impressions began with the settlement: by the time we had breakfast, the room was ready. Of course, we were lucky in this regard - on this day there was an early departure. The room is new, which is natural; family, two-room, overlooking the golf courses and villas. Quite spacious, although ours was not 100 sq. m. , which, I must say right away, was not a problem at all. Full mini-bars, fresh linen, bathrobes - what I especially liked, not thick terry, but thin - cotton, slippers, various gels, balms, scissors, files, sea salt for the bath, etc. The children were brought children's slippers the next day , although, to be honest, they were not useful.

Room service: cleaning was done before dinner. I didn’t go with a white scarf, I didn’t check it, but visually - everything was done with high quality. After dinner they came again - again changed the towels.
Meals: simply excellent, anything, including crabs (even if they were small, not like Kamchatka), excellent lightly salted red fish for breakfast and dinner; lamb in the tandoor, etc. , etc. , etc. The waiters are helpful, orders are fulfilled quickly. Sometimes, however, they did not bring the order in full, apparently they did not understand how it was possible to drink strong alcohol, beer, and even ask for wine. But everything was resolved with jokes. In general, the choice of food is very, very pleased. I myself am not a particular wine lover, but I have tried wine in many hotels. So, in MAX, the wine was, surprisingly, at the level, especially white. They also served rosé (it seemed to be slightly fortified) and red wines. There was a separate children's table and a children's room, with a microwave oven, blenders and other equipment. In my opinion, there really is not a rich choice for children if you take ready-made meals. There were a lot of different mixtures, purees and juices in jars, all Hipp. How useful and tasty they are, I can’t judge.
Kids club: just a fairy tale. It really occupies an area of ​ ​.2000 sq. m + the open territory of the club. Well done animators. Almost all Russian speakers. Our daughter, 3 years old, just fell in love with the minidisco. All 30 minutes she danced there without stopping - then she fell asleep very well.
The water park is very good. There are many slides for both children and adults, and not every adult decides to go down all the slides - there are very steep and high ones. There are two bars on the territory of the water park, in one you can dine.
Excellent confectionery, with a large selection of cakes, sweets and other goodies, tea, coffee, water. A girl plays the harp in a candy store.

The beach is huge. Part of the sun loungers on the sand, part on the grass. Beach towels without restrictions - just take it and throw it later, take another - no cards to change them. There are refrigerators all over the beach: plain water, sparkling water, cola, sprite, lemonade. By the way, all drinks - only in glass containers.
Separate song alcohol. In the bars, only imported alcohol, French cognacs, five types of tequila, liquors, wine, etc. Bartenders make cocktails like human beings. The 24-hour bar is Irish, where it is always quiet and very few people. Hung out there and the central bar. They brought a cocktail to my wife - a flask with a drink is inserted into an aquarium where a small exotic fish swims.
Animation is not bad, comparing, again, in other hotels. There is no amphitheater, there is a table in front of the stage. There is also a long, long bar from which you can see the whole scene.
Rented a car. In the price list cars from Hyundai to Ferrari. The price of the latter is 4500 euros per day. There are X5, X6, Q7, minivans, convertibles and much more.
You can write a lot, the general impressions are as follows. This year, let me emphasize this - this year, the hotel is simply wonderful. If you are going on holiday I highly recommend it. By the way, we are going there again on 08/24/11.
