The hotel is so-so, the room is ok, the food is not tasty, there is little I liked, the coffee is terrible and almost all of the desserts are not tasty. The sea is nearby for a couple of minutes through the tunnel, but if in the beginning there is sand, then closer to the sea there are pebbles and in the water there are stones, slippery and deep. We (my family) didn’t like it!
The entry into the sea is terrible, the flooded slab is all slippery and in the pits, there is nothing to do without coral slippers. And if you are not lucky with a calm sea, but there will be waves, then get ready to get pebbles in the bones when entering and exiting the sea.
The slides are good, the seams are of high quality, they do not scratch the back when descending. True, they only work 4 hours. From 10-12 and 14-16.
The children's "wet" play area for the little ones is very dead, some figures are rewound with adhesive tape, some are fixed together with plastic clamps, but the worst thing is that part of the closing caps for the water drain around the perimeter of the area is missing.
Children's animation. During our stay, the animator was an age-old, snotty woman drinking teraflu, yelling so that it was scary not only for a child, but also for an adult. This is an observation from the outside, I would not leave my three-year-old in the kids club with such an animator for a minute.
Nutrition. There is no children's table in sight, everything is the same as in the general distribution. Feeding a child is a very big problem, in the morning there is no normal porridge, or a semblance of oatmeal floating in a milk solution, causing a gag reflex or something like “corn mamalyga”, which can only be applied by cutting it off with a knife.
Omelette powder.
Butter is margarine.
The croissants are delicious.
Absolutely do not know how to cook fish, constantly overdried and oversalted. Meat, chicken is very salty and tough.
A huge selection of "chemical" sweets in all colors of the rainbow.
Fruits are poorly washed, the child was constantly washed. Soups - mashed potatoes, starched salted with spices medley.
Summing up, what can you feed a child? These are croissant, biscuit, waffle, local yoghurt with cereal, fruit, tomato, cucumber, pasta and rice and mashed potatoes. Well, if you are okay with monthly black deep-frying, then these are French fries, minced chicken nuggets and onion rings.
Housekeeping: everything is simple with her, she simply does not exist and did not exist.
The hotel is on the outskirts, there are no supermarkets nearby, a taxi to the nearest Mall costs $30.
Rest in such a place with a small child is a real horror, do not waste your money and nerves.
Lots of good and bad.
We arrived early at 8 am. Check-in at 14-00, but if possible, check-in at 12:30.
We chose the hotel to move from spa to food to sunshine.
SPA review:
We went down to the -2 floor, we were met by Azat (SPA Administrator), and surprisingly he speaks excellent Russian, we were offered a towel, and a free hammam. We sat in the free Saunas, thus our expectation flew by. And we settled in at 15-00 : ) only freed from the pleasant atmosphere of SPA services.
Azat offered a complex of massages, we agreed, in principle a little expensive, but it’s tiring to go 30 minutes from a tour operator to another company.
I ordered a complex massage - the price is $ 30-40 -. . . as agreed.
The massage complex included: massage for 1 hour, massage of the legs, arms, fingers, feet, back, face, stone massage, calendula oil, face mask, tea.
Well, after health.
Women are offered lymphatic drainage massage, he says it hurts a lot. But as a man, it seems to me that I have lost weight, and my waist has become slimmer (but this is purely my opinion). The girls are more visible.
In general, I recommend the spa, if of course your budget allows.
I chose the graph:
15-00 free gym
16-00 free sauna and cold pool, here if lovers of hammam, if both stone and foam massage, if you do it yourself, it's also free
17-00 paid massage
18-00 swimming pool or sunbathing
19-00 dinner : )
As a result: the back was trimmed, stretched a little.
Thank you massage therapists : )
Restaurant review:
Well, it's beautiful, that's all.
Crayfish, oysters, meat. But for an amateur.
It's hard for children, everything is sharp.
From delicious morning pancakes, kebabs, and french fries. This is how children survive.
I took butter and bread.
And constant QUEUES!!!!!
for ice cream 30 minutes, for pancakes 30 minutes, for barbecue.
That's horrible! well to organize, without queues it is impossible?????
We went to an Italian restaurant: MAT = -MAT. I still don’t understand whether food is lifted up from the dining room, or, on the contrary, they are lowered down.
Soup from catering: one to one, wine is also worn from below, with the exception of a large piece of meat and sweets. And then I think they also brought it from below.
Aquapark review:
there is more of a culture problem: at 7 in the morning people get up and leave a towel to take a sunbed for the whole day, as a result, a bunch of towels, and there is no place to just lie down. There are exceptions.
Therefore, be patient or take a chair.
Feedback about the sea:
The sea, as I understand it, departed, as a result, children are FORBIDDEN there! drown the child or get injured.
hot rock, pebbles, and slippery rocks.
Exit: swim in a large circle, but take the circle with you, they cost 20 euros.
Feedback about the rooms:
There are no complaints about the rooms, they clean them, there is water in the bar and nothing more. Air conditioning. TV. well, the soundproofing could be better, but personally it was not important to us.
Animation:
I believe that she saves the whole hotel. Of course, everything is repeated, but games, foam parties, gymnastics, yoga.
Gives you the opportunity to get rid of boredom.
PS: in general, we liked the holiday, as we went to the SPA.
The fact that there are no people at sea, that was a plus : )
and Secret: ask for Turkish coffee, it's free and tasty, though they are too lazy to make it.
And remember, you make the mood yourself, not the hotel.
I'll start in order:
We were met at the airport. The road from Antalya airport to the hotel took 2 hours. The hotel was 3 on the list. The meeting with the hotel guide Olga was scheduled for the next morning. In total, there were 20 people who arrived on May 18, and this was with the children. Olga said that excursions can be ordered and booked only on the day of meeting with her and not on any other day. I met this approach for the first time. The child chose 2 excursions - Jeep Safari and Dinosaur Park. The first is very interesting and fun, and the second leaves much to be desired. But the child is delighted with dinosaurs. So let's put credit for this program. )) We didn't see Olga again, but when asked when she could be found, the answer was - Why would you? But she left her phone. but he never answered. And on top of that, when departing, the host changed the airline and the airport of arrival. We learned about this only on the bus before arriving at the airport.
Now about the hotel:
We checked into the hotel at 22:30. In the restaurant we were fed according to a note from the reception. At first glance, everything was fine, just wonderful. The next day the surprises began. The room was not cleaned, it was not cleaned on the third day. After the complaint was removed at 19-00 and this is an hour after the complaint was received. Also, the room was not cleaned one more time at the end of the holiday. The room was disgusting. Personal items - child's pajamas. the shirt and soft toys were thrown into the corner of the sofa. The floor was not washed or swept every day, if at all. The carpets in the hallways are dirty and stained with drinks in places. Also on May 25 in the afternoon, water was turned off for 30 minutes and constant power outages and elevators began, floors in the hotel 8 from "-2 to 5" and rooms are located from "-1 to 5", i. e. on 7 floors.
Restaurant and food in the hotel;
The restaurant began its work at 7-00, and the hotel is considered a family hotel for families with children. The restaurant even has a small children's area, but you will not find children's dishes in the restaurant. In this zone, the same dishes as for adults, i. e. french fries, onion rings, tomato pasta sauce. There is no milk. Once I tried to find milk for a child at 23-00. Did not work out ((
I will return to the fact that the restaurant starts its work at 7-00, but at 7-00 you will not find something to eat in the restaurant. Half of the food warmers are empty, but what is left over from dinner and a powder omelet. There are sweet buns, but there are not many of them, and if you decide to come by 9-00, then these buns will not be available. There are buns that are not sweet, but some of them are from yesterday, and some are with salted olives, with sausage and other leftover cold appetizers from dinner. Pancakes and scrambled eggs begin to be made only at 8-30 and behind this a queue is built in which you have to stand for 30 minutes.
At first there were no queues in the restaurant and we adapted to choose from the minimum presented. It was very difficult to feed a child at breakfast. At lunch and dinner, everything was more or less. But after May 25, a nightmare began in the restaurant. For lunch and especially for dinner, people tried to come exactly at the appointed time, if you come for 20-30 minutes, then you run the risk of being left without some of the dishes and finding a place in the restaurant is simply unrealistic. People stood with plates and could not sit down at the tables. because there were no free tables, and if they were vacant, then the dishes were not removed from them. But if you were lucky enough to find a table, then the problem with cutlery began. The staff did not particularly try to fulfill their duties and it seemed that we were vacationers, than we owe them.
I also want to note the dirt on the stoves in the restaurant. I don’t know for what reason, but some of the stoves and the cooking process take place directly in front of the distribution tables. The dirt that is present everywhere cannot be expressed in words. Deep-fried cooking oil is black and does not change. it is simply warmed up in the morning and fried on it and fried and fried. The staff is so unclean that they can drop a spoon from the distribution on the floor. put it back into the food warmer with a side dish. They can also use the same scoop ladle for omelette liquid and for pancake dough (for making pancakes). It is not fantasy itself saw these two cases.
Drinks are so d-o..... that I don’t even know what to compare with.
Children's animation:
This is probably one of the advantages of this hotel. The girls worked hard, pirate quests. they baked cookies and treated all the vacationers by the pool for an afternoon snack, and then ate the leftovers with milk in the Mini-Disco club, decorated T-shirts and backpacks. It is worth noting the girls Valya and Katya, and especially Oksana.
Aqua park and swimming pool:
Good and children's area and adult slides. The pools are clean, the pools are cleaned every day. The children's pool is lowered periodically and cleaned. The children's pool was directly under the balcony and saw it.
Beach:
The hotel is 300-500 meters from the sea. But after the storm the beach is not cleaned. There are not enough sun loungers by the sea. If you want to bring yourself a sunbed, then look for a free one and drag it to yourself wherever you want.
In general, the hotel does not pull on the declared ultra and family and five stars. It's just a regular four. without ultra . So don't waste your money and don't go there. Vacation will be ruined.
Cons: the approach to the beach is not equipped. I had to quickly run to the beach to walk on hot sand, in which my legs fell through. The dining room and the street are full of flies - this does not paint a 5 star hotel!
Interruptions with light.
In general, plus only slides (uncontrollable! the boy broke his nose, the man broke his head, he lost consciousness, his child saved), new rooms and food, and then in 10 days apples, orange, peaches, watermelon and melon.
