I will say right away - I am not a fan of holidays in Turkey and Egypt. But my wife had a vacation in April, and she wanted to spend a week on the Turkish shores. Okay, I think it’s possible for a week, I asked the boss for time off and began to choose a hotel. If Turkey is only good 5 *! ! ! I rummaged through the Internet for a long time - and now the choice fell on Rixos Tekirova. The sea, mountains, pine trees, a large area - these are the main reasons for choosing this hotel. We flew from the Pegas travel agency with Orenburg Airlines, the departure from Sharik was postponed an hour earlier - it’s not scary, but instead of early morning we flew back from Antalya only at 16-00 Moscow time, in short, we got home only at 22-00, and the next day to work ...Very upset!
As for the hotel - in general, expectations were met, the hotel is really cool, but they were not satisfied with the beach - there are a lot of stones! ! ! Entering the sea was very uncomfortable and painful, the stones are sharp, and those that are larger are very slippery!
But the presence of waves pleased, very beautiful coastal cliffs. I also liked the territory of the hotel - there is where to take a walk. We paid for a standard room without a specific view from the windows. But since at that time the hotel was occupied on 23, at the reception they offered a free family room - a large 2-room suite in separate 2-storey bungalows. The room has a balcony with two armchairs, a table and a clothes dryer, in the first room there is a large double bed, 2 armchairs, a table, 2 bedside tables with two nightlights, a telephone, a minibar a table, in the hallway - a wardrobe with a safe, in the second room there are 2 sofas, a dining table, a linen closet, a telephone, a TV, an air conditioner, a children's sofa built into the window sill (cool! ), carpets on the floor in both rooms, on the walls - paintings. The bathroom has a hairdryer, telephone, bath with shower. All equipment is working. In general, you can live, for two in general - super!

The bungalows themselves are built in the style of an alpine village, on one side the windows overlook the snow-capped mountains of Tahtali, and on the other to a local pond with ducks, turtles and many fish. Go to the sea for 7-8 minutes through the main building. Also on site is a children's playground with an amphitheater and a water park, a diving center, a cinema, several restaurants and bars, 2 outdoor and one indoor pools, a Turkish bath, a spa, a gym, bowling, slot machines, billiards, ping-pong, 3 tennis courts, soccer field. Free WI-FI throughout. Feeding is excellent, a large selection of dishes, pastries and sweets. The hotel is ALL INCLUZIV, so what about a bite to drink - at any time of the day or night. I advise you to try local coffee and apple tea in the lobby bar. Any booze, but draft beer is not very.
The contingent of the hotel is traditional for Turkey - 60% Russians (a lot with children and couples), 20% Germans (mostly elderly and middle-aged), 20% Turks (one youth, a lot of people are settled on weekends). By the way, this hotel was recognized as the best in 2008. But there are some remarks:
1. Cleaning in the room is bad, the hotel is 5 *, and bed linen is changed only 2 times a week! Bathrobes in general have not been thrown on the floor yet - they have not changed!
2. Slow waiters and bartenders in the lobby and disco bars (does not apply to the main restaurant, the waiters there are top class! ).
3. Local guides from Pegasus are mostly Turks, they speak Russian well, but they get confused in their testimonies, they tell completely different things about Turkey, sometimes mutually exclusive, and explain these mistakes with the incompetence and inexperience of their colleagues! ! ! Strange, isn't it?
4. The bus that met us broke down at the airport - we waited for a replacement for about 40 minutes!
On the way back, the bus that took us from the hotel exceeded the speed limit several times, in the end we were stopped for speeding - we also lost time! (Both buses from Pegasus)

I give this hotel a solid four, if not for the beach, then it would be possible to put a five. Young people will be bored, but for couples and parents
with children, the hotel is 100% suitable! Have a nice holiday!
