Second time in Turkey. We rested from 05.07 to 12.07 as a couple. Tour operator Karya, hotel guide Mustafa.
We arrived early in the morning, just at the beginning of breakfast, so after filling out the form and giving our passports for registration at the hotel, we were treated to Turkish delight, put on bracelets and offered to have breakfast (which we did). Naturally, after breakfast, coming to the reception to us (and others who arrived), the "charming" worker Mustafa said that the room was not ready yet, we had to wait. (It became clear that I didn’t want to wait until 2:00 pm, especially since it was around 9:30 am). $ 10 solved this problem quickly, Mustafa quickly found a ready-made tidy room overlooking the sea and the large pool, respectively. The obsessive porter took our suitcase, showed us to the room, showed everything quickly and vividly. When they took out a wallet to give a tip, the Turk brazenly looked in, saw 20k in the wallet and said that it would be fine (of course, he appreciates his work cool, lift the suitcase on the elevator and take it to the room), but it cost $ 3. We quickly dismantled things, hid the suitcase. The room is nice, clean and quite big. Absolutely corresponds to the photos of the tour operators. According to the description of the room, everything also agrees, except that the minibar is still paid, the prices printed on the door of the minibar are huge (very close to the hotel there is a shop with normal prices, they bought what they wanted, mostly juice). Further about the room: everything stated is there, as it was said (TV, free safe, bathroom with a flexible shower, air conditioning, although central, worked constantly and well, sometimes it even got cool at night, got up to turn it off). Of the little things: shower gel, conditioner, multi-colored threads with a needle, a notepad for notes and the rest of the rubbish. They cleaned every day well (once a dollar was left, everything was the same), changed towels every day, I can’t say for sure the bed was changed 2 or 3 times. a bow was made from the bedspread, tulle was beautifully tied. In short, number 5.
Service: good, very nice everyone, pleasant. Bartenders and cleaners are always smiling, unobtrusive, and when we learned a few phrases in Turkish, we completely sunk into their souls and complained to us as their own, asking in amazement how we know Turkish so well : ). Of the servants, I will single out only one person-cleaner, and not in a good perspective. There is always such a small guy running around with a dustpan and a whisk, his name seems to be Bairan. in fact, an absolute loafer, both vacationers and staff notice this, and it would be fine to run around, but he likes to pester girls, and he behaves really obscenely, he had to complain. But overall the staff is great. Animators: it’s pointless to write anything here, just super, they work from morning (10) to evening (11), they give everything to the full, great respect to them for this, to the whole team, especially Lena and Shush (he’s just lovely). Every half hour games, entertainment, one after another, fun for everyone. Separately, I will say (according to observations) that the children are also very good there, they constantly dance with them, take them to the miniclub, offer trips for children to the amusement park. Every evening different performances, on the last day there was synchronized swimming - very beautiful. We were treated to a pina colada cocktail, after - an ice cream show.

Food: my personal opinion is very good, plentiful and tasty. the main dishes are constantly varied, meat was served every day, especially chicken, there was fish, they made kebabs. Everything else is yes - not varied, but try to try everything - it will not work. just a lot. Of the fruits were: watermelon, melon, apricots, plums, apples, white and dark grapes (grapefruits in the morning). There are also a lot of sweets. There was always a dietary menu. There were themed dinners twice during our stay, everything was also very tasty, a lot of seafood from fish to octopus. Near the beach bar from 12 o'clock it was also possible to eat quite tightly: pizza, fish, french fries, pasta, vegetable salads, watermelons, melons. In the tent, a very nice aunt bakes gozleme all day long (with meat, cottage cheese, potatoes) very tasty. 15-15:30 give out ice cream, also very tasty. We managed to visit only one a la carte restaurant - Italian, delicious, but the steak was harsh, and the salad was sour due to seasonings. Drinks: non-alcoholic soda, tonic, cola, fanta, sprite, standard everywhere water like yupi and freshly squeezed juice for breakfast but for 3 bucks. From alcohol: Baileys type, Malibu type, Campari type (all types, because the so-called analogue, diluted apparently, because every day has a different taste), vodka, raki, gin, beer, red and white wine. Every day they were treated to different cocktails for free near the beach and near the pool.
Beach: the beach didn’t work out very well, the entrance to the sea is from the pier, but for me it’s more of a plus than a minus, because I like to swim, and not go to the depths for half an hour. Naturally, those with small children are not very well, but the children "in water ammunition" also swam well with their parents. The bottom is stones, if you sail away, but it changes to sand, but your legs can’t reach there. They came to the beach at about 10 am, found two sun loungers standing side by side, there were no problems with sun loungers near the pool either.
Territory: not big, but you can’t call it small either, it is rather compact. Near the hotel there are a lot of markets and shops. We also went for a walk to Kemer ($4), Goynuk ($3) and Antalya ($5).
If you like excursions, there are many of them for every taste and budget, but it’s better not to take them at the hotel, because they are many times more expensive from tour operators. A very cool thing - a hammam, it's worth getting there, complete bliss.
Perhaps everything. If you have any questions, write to china-girl89@mail. ru I will answer.
