My wife and I arrived 2 days ago. I’ll make a reservation right away: in Turkey for the 3rd time, 2 previous times we rested in hotels really 5 * (Long Beach and Rixos Tekirovo) This time we were limited in time (the decision to rest was made 4 days before departure), and we didn’t want very large expenses (a ticket cost $ 1650 for 7 nights) Already at the price it was necessary to understand that miracles were not waiting for us there. A lot of positive reviews on this site also played an important role, "thank you" to their creators !! ! (I think most of them are mishandled Cossacks)
Now in order:
Arrived by flight Simferopol - Antalya at 14-30 At 15-00 left the airport. The host operator - Premium-Travel (positioned as an operator working with VIP clients) We were greeted warmly, the guide helped to roll the suitcase to the bus itself. The bus was served by Mercedes (12 seats) We thought that there would be no problems. But... We set off on the road after 40 minutes. The guide talked all the way only with nearby tourists (he didn’t have a microphone) in general, we got to the hotel at 17-30 (distance 65 km) On the way back, another guide just overslept all the way to the airport

Seeing the hotel building from afar and entering the hall, you understand that 5 * are not waiting for you here.
But I will try to be objective so as not to offend the smaller part of the hotel workers who are trying to ensure your comfort
At the reception, a Russian-speaking girl met me very well, settled in for 5-8 minutes, and in the future, communication with her brought only pleasant impressions.
I can't say the same about the hotel guide Nikolay. The meeting with him was scheduled for 2 p. m. on the second day. We asked in advance to tell him that we could only approach 15 tons and met with friends. He waited for us until 14-45 and hooted, writing a note where he wished a pleasant stay, and verbally conveyed that we would not see him again, so it happened, but we were not upset)))
The room was on the last-4th floor, with a sloping ceiling, an area of ​ ​ approximately 12-15 square meters, right above the main entrance with a view of the mountains, neighboring hotels and a little bit of the sea. The bathroom is standard, the furniture is like everywhere else
We are mobile people, accustomed to moving more on vacation, so the size of the room used to not matter much to us, but not to the same extent !! ! Balcony width - 55 cm!!!,
Depth of 1st cabinet half approx. 15 cm!!! , second half -35 cm, coffee table, aka stool 45x45, In short, everything is Lilliputian
Air conditioning worked properly, Lighting och. dim. Cleaned daily (tip left)
Especially about the MINIBAR - it is ALL PAID, including drinking water (0.5 l - $ 1), so you had to buy water in the village (1.5 l - $ 1 - feel the difference) or get it from coolers on site
The safe is also paid - $ 18 for 7 days
There was only one elevator, and on the third day he began to live his own life, taking him where he apparently needed to. it went on for days

Nutrition
The food is the same as everywhere else, but. . .
1 - popular dishes ended very quickly and by the end there is a risk of not seeing them on the shelves
2-constantly there was only chicken, turkey was eaten 1 time, there was no beef at all.

3 - sour salads came across several times.
4 - there was no meat for breakfast, and sausages were put out every other day.
Basically, the quality of the food could not be complained about.

About drinks
the set is standard, but everyone is poured into plastic cups and in minimum portions of 30 grams, and beer in 100 gram cups))), filling it all with ice from a large scoop !!! .
Cocktails only based on powdered juices. Ordered my wife a Mojito for 8 bucks, so barely made it right. The greed of most bartenders has no limits, as, indeed, impudence. Moreover, tips do not produce a special effect.
A very nice guy works at the bar in the main restaurant, always friendly, and pours into glassware.
A pleasant and sympathetic aunt bakes gozleme,
on the way to the beach there is a self-service counter where you can (after stealing a large glass in the bar or finding it in the used basket and washing it well with soap in the toilet) get as much beer, Yuppies and cold water as you want
The beach is standard, 50-70 meters wide, there would be enough sunbeds for everyone, but they were taken away by vacationers from neighboring hotels, and then our guards heroically dragged them back, instead of initially following them.
Towels in the room and on the beach are very old, some are simply torn.
It is difficult to enter the sea without shoes, but it is possible.
GENERAL CONCLUSIONS
The hotel is below average, pulls a maximum of 3.5 *, but the price matches (Rixos at the same time $ 3500). But, surprisingly, many vacationers consider it very good (from conversations in the hotel).
If you program yourself to rest, then no bullshit will spoil it for you! WHAT WE DID!! !
