The hotel is located in the cozy resort town of Akbuk, the main building of which is small villas for the middle class. There are no other hotels of this class in the area.
The climate of the place is typical for the western Aegean coast, that is, less humid, less hot than in Antalya, there is always a light breeze from the sea. The sea itself is cooler than in Belek, deep blue.
The hotel is a brand new (2020) seven-story complex (from -2 to 4) quite typical for Turkish architecture, which is located on a relatively small area, again, when compared with the standard "fives" from Belek: there are three pools in a compact area (for the little ones, for the older ones, and the big one with a bridge and an island), a stage, a bar. In the neighborhood - a gigantic water park with a bar (not yet launched), and a beach with a volleyball court.
The rooms are comfortable, there is a minimum of what is needed, high-quality repairs, everything works, when designing, they obviously approached wisely. To some, the toilet and bathroom (shower) may seem small, in Sheraton, Rixos, Hilton they are larger. The rooms still suggest that most of the time the guests will spend outside. Although, besides the beds, there is other furniture, a small balcony, a refrigerator with drinks included in the price.
Separately, it is worth dwelling on food. You should go there beforehand hungry, preferably a few weeks. From experience I can say that the hotel in this respect is at least as good as Lara's top fives. In most medium-sized 5 * hotels in Turkey, they save quite a lot on food, in particular, dishes from chicken and local farm fish that have recently become much cheaper in recent years prevail. At the Maxeria Hotel for dinner daily on the sushi menu (yes, you can argue about how authentic the production technology is, but the children ate everything), various dishes of fried, baked, stewed and boiled beef and lamb, as well as snacks from shrimp, octopus, mussels. Large boiled shrimp are served in unlimited quantities. Not every day, but there were baked beef ribs with sauce, fried lamb tenderloin on the bone, smoked mackerel, yellowtail, salmon (you won’t find all this in Turkey during the day with fire, or it’s very expensive), all kinds of meat delicacies. There is a dietary table, have not tried it.
From drinks, I would like to single out high-quality Efe crayfish of two varieties, Efes beer is good, but anti-coronavirus legislation banned it in cans, I have not tried good French brandy, whiskey, vodka and cocktails. Yes, they also brew real coffee there, not “Turkish”, but in an espresso machine, cappuccino, etc. , in Turkey, to put it mildly, this is not always the case.
The hotel has a very good area with sun loungers in front of the beach - everything is very well maintained and clean. But the beach itself is unfinished - there are a lot of stones at the entrance. There is a pier. The sea itself is very clean, especially in calm weather.
The water park is huge, the children practically did not get out of it. There is a separate one for younger children with fountains, slides and a pool, and for the older one there are 6 large slides.
In general, the rest were very satisfied. Children's diseases, like any other completely new hotel, are present, but they were not very striking. Yes, some work is constantly being carried out, something is being painted, drilled. Some of the elevators don't work. The staff tries very hard, there are several Russian speakers.
