I got to the computer and decided to write my review anyway. We rested at the hotel from 01.07-15.07 2010. Three adults went. We rest in Turkey for 8 years, only in 5 * hotels (As an example, the last two Club Ali Bey Manavgat, Club voyage sorgun select). This is to the issue that a review is written by a person who has something to compare with and not custom =).
So. . . let's start in order. There were no problems with settling in. Settled at two o'clock on the 3rd floor in the main building, the windows overlooked the already completed hotel). Probably better to ask for a room with a view to the other side. In a nearby hotel, some equipment was working very loudly (something similar to a substation). With the windows closed, you can't hear anything. But the neighboring hotel will soon start working in full, immediately there will be additional noise from all kinds of events, music, discos, etc. I think it will interfere. Noise isolation in the room is bad, if you want to hear what the neighbors are talking about. If you come across a small child who will cry all night - no luck (. We came to the room only in the evening and immediately fell asleep, so the "cardboard walls" did not interfere with us).
The room is big, the air conditioner works great. Slippers and bathrobes are provided) The balcony is small, there is almost nowhere to dry clothes. We were saved by a rope, which we always take with us just in case.

Cleaning was more than enough for us (we do not clean our houses every day). On the contrary, sometimes signs were hung up so that they would not be removed. They only asked to change the towels and throw out the garbage. We do not like it when they once again rearrange and fold everything in the room).
The area is beautiful and well maintained. It's great to live in watering cans, especially if the windows overlook the pools. There were always enough sun loungers on the beach, it was more difficult with them by the pool and on the pier, as always, in general). Large pier in the form of a flower, with its own bar. The sea was amazing. Clean, warm, soft clean sand - swimming is a pleasure, even with small children. Therefore, we didn’t even go to the pools, I can’t say anything about them. A big plus is that everywhere there are refrigerators with drinking water in small bottles - it's very convenient (and it's not icy, namely cool - it's the most in the heat). When we changed sunbeds for brand new ones (someone in the review complained about dirty ones). The amusement park and water park are great, especially for children. For adults, there is only one attraction in the amusement park).
A lot of things have been written negatively about food - it's not true. If someone ate one fast food (of which there are many: fries, hamburgers, etc. ) and then his stomach ached, this is his problem. There is a lot of different food, you can always choose something to your taste. During the day, in addition to the main restaurant, Side Street is also open, where you can also have a decent meal. There is also a pizzeria for lovers, where, in addition to pizza, they also serve delicious chicken skewers. There were a lot of fruits, including on Side street, i. e. they could be eaten throughout the day (watermelons, melons (not always tasty), apples, plums, oranges, apricots, grapes, cherries; sometimes they gave peaches, bananas and pineapples). I like that you can wash them right away. The main restaurant is a bit noisy and there are really queues for the main dishes. But! Maybe they didn’t know that on the terrace, firstly, it’s much quieter and more comfortable, and secondly, they cook all the same main dishes that you can take without any queue at all)). There was enough meat, fish, chicken of all kinds. Moreover, the kitchen was repeated only about a week later and did not have time to get bored. Naturally, there were also Turkish, spicy dishes, but we simply did not take them).
Animation. I would like to say a huge thank you to all the guys and chefs who entertained adults and children all day long. For fans - good sports animation: morning exercises (with elements of yoga), step, Pilates, games (volleyball, football (beach and regular), water polo, etc. ), tennis, ping-pong, basketball court. Archery and rifle shooting, darts, boccia, etc. Every day there is a tournament in one of the sports. As always games by the pool)

In the afternoon, some shows were periodically arranged in the pool.
In the evening, only twice in 14 days the show was staged by the animators themselves (comedy shows and Mr. Sueno), the rest of the time - visiting artists with various dance and / or acrobatic programs. Some well-known Turkish singers also come (some Turks even specially come to their concerts, book tables). After the show - either a disco, or live music, or karaoke on the beach (the so-called beach club). After 12 disco indoors. Also, in two weeks we managed to get to the kite festival, the children's festival (these days we worked with children from morning to evening. For them, their own playground was specially erected with attractions, trampolines, their own stage. I can’t say for sure, there are no children with us was, but it seemed to us that they were constantly engaged, and they have a good mini club and animators who worked with them). We also got to the fish festival: in the morning and in the evening on the pier, everyone was given fishing lines with hooks and bait and it was possible to catch fish (there was a big one there; ) ).
There was also a white party on the pier, a beach party with a sambo show and a bonfire.
In general, entertainment in this hotel is the sea) Everyone will find something to do.
Restaurants on site, unfortunately, can only be booked the day after visiting the previous one. We managed to go to Mexican (we advise everyone for a change), fish and fondue (for those who have never been and do not know what it is, it is also worth a try).
We personally came across only friendly staff. Maybe because we ourselves smiled at them and were not rude, unlike many Russians, who later complain that they are treated badly.
We did not like that there are a lot of Russians in this hotel. And a lot of children (each family had at least one child). And a lot of grandparents… But this is a family (very family) hotel, so it makes sense)
Here... I could forget something else) If anyone wants to ask something else, I will answer with pleasure)
