The hotel was chosen based on the location - I really liked the location between Kemer and Antalya, and the prices. We took a ticket in advance, the reviews were different, so we decided that whoever wants to find fault will find something, and took a chance. But closer to the date, there were more and more negative ones, which caused concern. And for good reason.
In order.
1. Location
The hotel is located behind the highway, go to the sea through the village. We crossed the route without any problems, either at a traffic light or through an underpass, which, by the way, is much cleaner than in any Russian city. And if tourists from the hotel didn’t throw garbage there, it would be generally good. But at night the tunnel is not lit.

The mountains are right behind the hotel. For me, this location was even better than the hotels of the "second line", the pools of which go directly to the street of the village and people swim there, and you walk past and stare at them. Yes, and leave the track easier in both directions.
There are no landfills near the hotel. But there are garbage cans on the road. They are there almost next to all the buildings. Far from the area. I did not see anything criminal in this. The peculiar smell in the hotel comes from the back-to-back goat farm. It seems that the Turks themselves do not feel this smell at all, because on the territory of the farm there is a hotel "for their own" and the Turks live quietly there - nothing interferes with them.
2. Settlement
I read about a long check-in and was ready after 10 minutes of waiting to go to swear with everyone, but I didn’t have to - we were settled in 13 minutes. We lifted our own luggage. The elevator, as I understand it, does not work for them by default, but for beauty.
3. Number
The room was overlooking the pool. Good sound insulation during the day and, thank you very much, that the animation works exactly until 11. The music was turned off and it was quite comfortable to sleep. And we don't go to bed before. The environment itself, of course, has seen a lot. The fridge is old but works well. All bulbs worked and the air conditioner cooled perfectly. I myself am from the south, I don’t like the cold - it was rarely set below 30 degrees, because the room was small, everything cooled very quickly. The beds are not "mattress on mattress", as it was in some reviews, but a podium and a thick mattress - very soft and comfortable. The bathroom has a built-in hairdryer, hand soap and shower gel.

Of course, not without minuses - tattered carpeting, thin curtains with huge holes, but thick curtains are good - they didn’t let light through at all. Plumbing has never known a cleaning agent - with a solid touch of lime. Linen with stains. I read the reviews and brought a blanket from home, and I didn't regret it, because thin covers look more like large shower towels. There is a hole in the wall near the conder and a small smudge. There are 2 hangers in the closet! Well, I didn’t think about hangers when I was packing my suitcase.
4. Staff
The canteen is cleaned well, quickly and with a smile. They didn’t go to the hammam, because upon arrival they were too intrusive tout, and in the middle of the rest they ignored. But before departure, they didn’t forget to remind us how bad we are that we didn’t even go to them.
At the reception, how lucky - there is a very friendly shift, and there are two guys who cannot squeeze out words from themselves. To the usual question "please tell me when you have lunch", they answered rather rudely "look there! ", while not raising their heads from their phones and portraying all the dislike for the "thumping tourists" on their faces.
The cleaning lady was seen once, in the corridor they changed her towels and took an additional roll of paper. Garbage on the 4th day could not stand it - they took it out into the corridor, because no action was taken to take it out to our requests at the reception and directly to the cleaning lady. There were no signs of cleaning in the room itself.
5. Animation
I did not participate in it, but I actively heard from the room and when I passed somewhere. The guys work from the heart. They organize competitions for "Miss Hotel", "Mr. Hotel", "Best Couple of the Hotel", spend the day aerobics, arrange competitions in darts and shooting, children's and adult discos. After 11 pm everyone is taken away at a discount to the club. I think for lovers of "seal rest", there are moments to have fun. The main thing would be the desire to take part in everything.
6. Pool-alcohol
I didn’t swim, I didn’t drink, but the people were resting and there was always a small queue at the bar. I saw people with cocktails, with beer, with wine. She didn’t risk it herself - she bought alcohol for herself only in a shopping center.
7. Territory

Small, but if you want, there is even a place to take a picture. Swimming pool, 3-4 double swings, a couple of gazebos. The children's corner leaves much to be desired. On the photos of the tour operator, it is still brand new, good, in reality, a very old playground.
8. Beach
Walking to it, if you know the way, is easy. The main thing is to know it, because at the reception they can’t explain normally. We roughly knew - thanks to other tourists, but still on the first day we got a bit lost. The beach is pebbly. Many bought special slippers, we didn’t swim very often on this beach, so we even managed without them. On a nearby beach there is a small entry into the sea. They used it. On the beach, a cooler with cold water and cups is open around the clock, a locker room is a wooden booth and a shower with a hose with cold water is also a wooden booth. Water is also supplied around the clock. Approximately the same set and on the territory of the beaches located nearby. There are not very many sun loungers, but no matter what time we came, there were places, the mattresses were not the newest, but not completely dead either. If you walk on the beach in both directions, then in fact, the picture is about the same.
9. Canteen
OOO! This is a different song! On the first day of arrival, there was nothing edible in it! Everything is soured and rotten. If you are sensitive to food, check it carefully. True, my MCH was completely satisfied and he did not leave hungry. But he's not that picky. I didn’t even have breakfast there the next day - we ate delicious barbecue and shurma in the shawarma on the way to the beach - I recommend it! There is also free wifi. The code is valid all the time.
At the next dinner, I decided to take the risk again. And, do not believe it! The chicken was good and even the baked potatoes came out just right. Plus tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelon and sweets. In fact, a standard set for those who have lived more than 1 day at the hotel.

For breakfast, by the way, they serve delicious tortillas without restriction and jam sauces for them. Sooo delicious. Once I got on a delicious scrambled eggs with tomatoes and spices, but another time it was already sour. From the edible, I also took chicken liver once, soup, stew, salad. Sometimes they cook fish - the first time it tasted normal, but almost not peeled, the second time it was peeled, but it tasted nothing. From all of this I ate a piece to try. It didn't go any further.
Lots of herb salads and oh my gosh they are delicious. . . outside the hotel. In the hotel itself, it is better to take them for lunch, then you can run into edible ones. After dinner, they are most likely cut, and then mixed with already stale herb vegetables, and as a result, there are several dishes with completely sour food that cannot be eaten.
From the sweet - various cakes, biscuit cookies, some local soft things. Of fruits - watermelon, once there was a melon.
Fresh food in the air is cooked according to the principle "whoever took it, well done, the rest wipe off. " One day, they decided to defend themselves and took half a plate of smoked chicken for... 45 minutes of standing.
Tea, coffee, yupi, cola - without restrictions until 23.00. There are no coolers inside the hotel.
Before use, the guests themselves, who are not the first day, wipe the plates with napkins, because they are with a slight touch of fat and water. A lot of people sniff the food before putting it on. Which already speaks of the "excellent cuisine of the hotel. "
10. Guide from Tez-tour
He doesn't give a fuck about you. I was late for half an hour, did not apologize, did not even offer any excursions, did not advise in any way. "If anything - call, my phone is on the counter. "
In general, the hotel, let's be honest, like an ordinary hotel somewhere in the Black Sea village. The guide immediately said that the reputation of the hotel is "very bad". It's amazing why tour operators still include it in the list and disgrace themselves. It is not worth its money, because we paid the price for it, albeit not very large, but not the smallest either - there were cheaper options.
The reception is hot, hot water periodically disappears. Once, until 2 o'clock in the morning, she was waiting for her. The situation is so-so. The ladder, which I call "fire-prevention", because it is very steep and two people cannot turn around on it at all.

Ideally, remove the hotel and at least one star, reduce prices by at least 15 percent, and then it will already be more like reality.
