весело детям, а их родителям - скучновато children have fun, but their parents are bored

General impression of the hotel: children have fun, and their parents are bored. More: vacationed with my wife and 2 twins. The hotel really maintains a reputation for children, although it must be said that the reviews about the excellent animation are somewhat exaggerated: the same evening half-hour dances with children such as aram-tsam tsam, competitions by the pool before dinner are frankly boring for adults, but the main thing is that children like it. In June, animators Katya and Akhmet worked - none at all - they seem to have been fired since July - a better team came - 1 of them showed yoga tricks with glass and nails in the evening. In general, for the parents of children there is longing: there is nowhere to go, the hotel is located very far from the embankment and entertainment, and only a very trained one will dare to walk with children to the sea - it’s really far to go for about 20 minutes and uphill and downhill, and even more so with children. So the stories about walking in Side are ancient - do not believe it: in the heat of forty-one hours on foot, it's like suicide. In short, in the evening you get closed in the perimeter of the hotel, and every evening you see the same half-hour animation with contests with vacationers or an idiotic game of Bingo. But in general, the hotel is not bad - there is nothing to complain about: the food is normal for a trio for lunch and dinner, there were always chicken and fish. The chef (I think - Mohamed) - I liked the fellow - he tries to make something out of what is. The service is excellent - the boys in the dining room and at the bar "wool" all the time - they clean, bring - in general, they also try - well done. Room cleaning is free and every day. They also settled us immediately and without money - 423 under the roof - the room is small but clean with a bunk bed for children. What else: the beach in general is not bad, but if you go in the morning there are not enough sunbeds, so we went after dinner - no problem - you can always get on the bus and the ride is not annoying - not far. The pool is nice, but it looked much bigger in the pictures. Shops on site are not bad: Omer from a souvenir makes discounts and is not expensive, Omer from leather - a little intrusive - but the merry fellow showed card tricks and offered to sell them for 50 bucks, Anzor from a hamam - not intrusive - we did not use his services. The guide from Anex made a free shopping tour of the centers: I don’t advise you to buy earrings in a jewelry store - a week later the clasp broke - ours say - hack, they bought 2 jackets for children in a leather shop - there weren’t 2 at once - so then they brought a second one with a different lining. Excursions were taken in the office behind the hotel - to the island of dolphins and to the Manavgat waterfall with stops and swimming in the sea - they liked it and were not expensive for 20 bucks and the children were free.
So, to sum up: if you eat for the sake of children - you go there, if you think and relax yourself - think about it. And advice to imposing owners (walks around the territory, it seems Ali): given the location of the hotel on line 3, it is necessary to improve evening programs for adults, it can hold a disco for adults (up to 23, not to the detriment of children) or make normal entertainment programs. And the last thing: plant more greenery, maybe somewhere instead of tiles - grass.
Summary: the hotel is not bad, but I don't want to go there anymore.
