Rested in a hotel with three families (adults without children). Enjoyed our holiday, we will definitely be back. From Antalya airport we drove 2 hours. We were the last to arrive (5th hotel), so it took a long time, but it didn’t bother us at all. We arrived around 2pm so we were seated right away. The safe is paid, so who needs it immediately at the reception, pay and it will be unlocked for you (I don’t remember exactly, 2 or 3 dollars per day). All three rooms were given side by side on the 7th floor overlooking the river. The view is chic. Everything worked in our rooms; furniture, plumbing - fairly new, good repair. Room cleaning is excellent, plumbing is always cleaned, floors are washed. Beautiful hotel grounds both outside and inside. There are 4 swimming pools on the territory: one large, long throughout the territory, 1.40 m deep, the second one is for kids, the third one with slides (6 slides, one of them descent in circles), the fourth indoor one (it was no longer working when we arrived, only in cold season operates).
The beach is a 5-minute walk along a beautiful coniferous alley. On the beach there is a bar with a restaurant and many rows of sunbeds under awnings. The bar is open from 10 to 17, the restaurant is open from 12 to 16. The variety of the restaurant is not as great as in the main building. But personally, it was super for us, we stayed on the beach for lunch. I liked the wide coastline and the long distance between the beaches of the hotels. There is sand on the beach. The entry into the sea is smooth, a small strip of pebbles, but special shoes (corals) are not needed here. Upon arrival, the water in the sea was refreshing +22. . . +23, everything got warmer every day. We really enjoyed this period. It was already warm, but not hot. The hotel was occupied by 30-40%. From Friday to Monday, the people obviously increased, the locals come for the weekend to relax.
Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel and on the beach. Social networks, YouTube, calls - everything worked fine. We did not buy an additional SIM card.

The food was tasty and varied: meat, fish, side dishes (always cooked in a large number of various dishes), a lot of vegetables and herbs, snacks, fruits, sweets, ice cream, etc. There were no crowds near the food, food distributors did not make anyone wait, they worked very quickly. Alcohol is only local, but good enough. We are more into cocktails (we liked how we did it).
If you come for 7 or more nights, you can visit one A La Carte restaurant by appointment. During our stay there was a Turkish and Italian restaurant. Tip: book as soon as you arrive. We delayed a little and only booked in the middle of the holiday, so we only got to the Italian restaurant and on our last night of stay. But they wanted to study Turkish : ) But I was also pleased with Italian. Appetizers, salads and soup with dessert were the same for everyone, they chose only hot. But the atmosphere, the service, the food itself were amazing.
About animation. The team works during the daytime near the pool, all activities are there. We are beach mates : ), so we don't even know what happened. In the evening, on a small heel near the pool bar, they organized something for the kids. There was no adult program in the amphitheater - they referred to strict quarantine in Turkey.
There are a couple of small minuses that I would like to turn into a plus in the future. The SPA center is very good in this hotel, but personally I was overwhelmed when every day, when you come for beach towels (issued at the SPA), they impose a massage on you. And on arrival, with all our large company, we went to the hammam with peeling, foam and massage procedures and clearly said that we would not like more additional procedures. Well, the second nuance - beach towels. For 9 days of stay, we only came across 2 times more or less normal. They are very worn, some already seemed transparent from old age. We went on an excursion, respectively, there were tourists from different hotels, some tourists even approached us, apologized and asked what kind of hotel we have with such towels : ) Something like that....

Independently 2 times went to the old town of Side. Who loves antiquity, you should definitely go there. We really liked it. Go outside the hotel to the road and immediately the bus stop on the left. Bus number 11 to the Old City, drive 20-25 minutes. You can also get to the large shopping center Nova Mol by bus number 2. There are many different shops with fixed prices and very reasonable prices. To get back to the hotel, you need to take bus number 10, no matter which one you went there. The main thing is to tell the driver which hotel you are in. The fare is from 3.5 liras to 4.5, depending on where and from where you are going. In order not to strain, you can pay $ 1, most importantly without change. Minibuses are comfortable, clean and air-conditioned.
