We were a family of 2 adults and a 4 year old child. Let's start with the location, it takes 40-60 minutes to drive from Antalya Airport, it will depend on how many hotels you will check in, ours was 2 on the list, so we arrived quickly. No one offers water on the bus, it’s good that they bought their own, but at the airport it was very expensive for a 0.5l Fanta to cost $ 4. We were warmly greeted at the reception, smiling and that’s all, because we arrived at 5 in the morning, they didn’t immediately place us, they said there were no free rooms and offered to leave our things and take a walk until 14.00, how do you like the offer after a sleepless night? Well, like such rules of settlement where against them. . . In the all-inclusive package, they didn’t even offer to drink water from the road. The child has a stomach ache, but we don’t have towels, we don’t have a soul. They asked for a glass and water to dilute smecta, they gave it right away, the conclusion must be asked. Placed in the room in the end at 12.00. A room in the old building on the 1st floor, the kitchen downstairs all the time, including at night, there is something ringing, rolling, unloading, in general they work 24 hours, if you want silence, forget it)) or ask for another room, although there are probably very few of them, then music not from yours, but from a neighboring hotel will amuse you, at 5 in the morning Mula will wake you up, singing all over Turkey)). The room itself is small, the bed is good, the pillows are rubbish, the bed linen is average. They didn’t change it more than once in 14 days, cleaning the room daily, so the floors will be wiped, the garbage will be taken away and the towels will be replaced if you throw them on the floor, and then there were 3 of us, at first there were 2 at all. Bath and facial (in a 5 * 3 hotel there should be a minimum), and one foot mat, slippers and bathrobes are not. They asked for extra. set. When cleaning, either a towel was not reported, or a foot mat, it was necessary to monitor all the time. Gel, shampoo, soap, body lotion, shower cap, cotton buds, for 3 at check-in, replenished a week later, when we bought our everything in the store (micros). Everything was in order in the room and everything worked, the safe was for a fee of 2 dollars a day, they did not use it, nothing was missing. The air conditioning works when the card is inserted and the balcony is closed. The refrigerator also works with the card inserted only, everything in the refrigerator is 3 bottles of water 0.5, cola, fanta, and mineral water 1 liter for free 1 time, then they do not replenish. They bring only 0.5 water daily, 1 per person, but water, juice and soda, tea and coffee are everywhere, both at the reception and on the beach and in bars, this is +. The food is monotonous, there is a choice of dishes, but by the end of the week you understand that the diet does not change much, from fruits watermelon, apples, pears (it is impossible to eat green ones). I wanted to ask where are the cherries, strawberries, apricots? was in other hotels. We bought on the street $ 3 per kg. The hotel sells 4. From meat chicken, turkey, beef stew (1 dish is the same all the time). The fish was mackerel, and a type of perch, once there was tuna. Cakes of all kinds 6. French fries, pasta, rice as a side dish daily. Soup is different, try it, you can find it to your liking, our child ate some. The children's menu is not signed that it is for children, chicken and fish nuggets are taken apart by adults, when you come to the end it's gone. In general, our people are surprised, they like to stand in line. . . , there is an omelet, eggs, no fried fried eggs, the queue is worth it. A lot of dishes with chips, well, does this happen in a good hotel, there weren’t enough plates when the hotel was fully loaded, they came 2 times to put food in nothing. There are not enough tables either, you take food and go in search of a place for circle 3. Especially for dinner when all the people gather at the hotel. The waiters try to clean everything quickly, but they do not have enough time to replace the tablecloths. In the afternoon, someone is on an excursion, someone is having lunch at a bar on the beach (we ate there several times), the choice of dishes is less, but we liked it more, fresh air, fewer people and the tablecloths are clean, no sweets, really, I think so as not to attract ants. Even in the bar on the beach they bake cakes with cheese, the child loved, they went all the time and took 12 hours. The beach itself is clean. Near the sunbeds there are bins for small garbage and cigarette butts. The beach worker is a kind uncle, he played with the children, if you need to pour a bucket of water into the children's pool or always give a circle to pump up the pump. I also gave water when the machine was no longer working from 10-17, water, juice, coffee. The water in the shower was very cold, I did not want to rinse there. There are 2 changing cabins, a toilet only in the bar at the top, it’s inconvenient to run with a child 5 times a day, there are other hotels right on the beach. Entry into the sea is only 2 small places where there are no cobblestones, one is against the flag of the border with a neighboring hotel, in other places if the waves break so the togas, but with a child it’s not an option at all. It’s good that we immediately got to a place where there are no these blocks on the 1st day, we saw them only the next day. The sea is clean, not deep for a long time, with children a great option, especially when the sea is calm, sand everywhere. The shuttle to the beach runs every 10 minutes, but only until 17 in the evening, other hotels carry until 18. Go to the sea for 15 minutes. From 17-20 it's hot and uphill is a minus, they could have left the bus at least until dinner. The Alba Royal Hotel has a mini zoo, you can feed birds, rabbits, frogs for free. If you ask at the reception where they will tell you, we ourselves found along the path to the sea past the Alba Queen Hotel and Alba Royal, hear the roosters crowing. ) Animation in the hotel is inferior, Children's one and the same every day. An adult is different, but not curly in my opinion, more suitable for tipsy 20-year-olds, sometimes vulgar contests. We tried crappy wine once, average beer. Haven't tried vodka. The playground is small, for so many people, the swings are made to get rid of, it seems to be there, but they are all oblique. Buy excursions on the street next to the hotel. From the main entrance to the left 50 meters, the agency Edik speaks excellent Russian, he will tell you everything and give you a check, it works legally, for example, a pirate ship offers for $ 20, children under 6 years old are free, a hotel guide will sell you the same excursion for 50. the difference is that you will be brought to the same ship in another bus and that's it. Then you all go together. On the ship itself, paint for a child and a pirate's scarf for free, but buy a sword or a pistol from $ 8 to $ 15, the price of which is 100 rubles. from strength. So buy yours in advance at home)). The photo is also the price of $ 20-30 apiece, well, a robbery. When leaving the ship, the sale can be bargained and bought cheaper. Loved the foam party. The foam must be washed off into the sea (against the ship across the island), and not in the river (ice water in the river). It will be clear on the spot. Pirate ship is more designed for children from 6 to 12 years old. I liked the Dino Park tour, dinosaur shows of crocodiles and fur seals. Photos are also expensive $ 10 for a 10 * 15 photo without a frame with a frame of 20. They didn’t give it away for 5, although they could earn $ 25, for 7 we didn’t take it ourselves. Excursion to ancient Side. You yourself went by dlomush, cross the road from the hotel, take a minibus with the inscription Side and to the final one, and there all roads lead to the ruins and everyone goes there, do not get lost. The fare costs 4.5 lira or $ 1.5 or 1.5 euros pay in lira)) it's profitable. You can exchange rubles for lira in the chench office 1000rub-65lir from the hotel to the left to the crossroads and again to the left to the shopping arcade there in the second row office exchanger. If you ask the merchants where the chench office will be shown. Do not go on a free tour, leather, fur, gold textiles from a hotel guide, they are taken to stores where prices are exorbitant 150 dollars. the bag is not of very good quality. So then they will expose you to the heat if you don’t buy anything and steam for 30 minutes, there’s nothing to take in textiles at the hotel prices below $ 12 T-shirt. in the hotel 5. The candy factory about which they will sing to you, the price tag is also horse. Chuchkhela 20dol, at the hotel 10 on the street 7-8. And so on everything. Hotel for 4-. Lots of cleanliness issues. The restaurant, which you can go to for free, did not appreciate the same dishes that in the dining room will only be brought to you and you cannot choose what you will eat. We did not like it, everything was long and tasteless. The child did not eat at all. I drank juice and everything. The overall impression of the trip is good. Specifically described the cons, not the pros.
