We chose this hotel on our own, without the help of a travel agency. After reading negative reviews, we were afraid, but there were budget requirements, so we weighed all the options and chose this particular hotel.

We drove from Anex Tour on September 14th. The first "thank you" for the excellent service of the Kyiv agency Anex Tour at Borispolskaya, 6. We checked in for the plane, fully instructed what, how, when and where. Organization of the transfer of the host in Antalya at the highest level. The plane left without delay. The transfer from the airport to the hotel took two hours. Yes, the hotel is last in line, so we were the last tourists on the bus. Arrived in Antalya at 16:30. We were at the hotel around 19:00.


Settled quickly. The rooms were booked standard, without additional payments to the operator for the view from the window. The hotel did not pay anyone extra, so they got rooms on equal terms. We got a room with a view of the car park, friends - with a view of the pool and the beach.
The balcony really has nothing to do with it - there are external units of air conditioners on the balconies, which are very, very noisy, so why pay extra for the view from the window, I don’t know. It is much more fun to go down to the pool bar and spend your evening there with a bunch of cocktails.

The hotel hasn't been updated in a long time. But the rooms are clean, clean and tidy. Towels and bed linen are clean. Bathroom set is complete. Towels were changed daily. They even deliberately turned on the "do not disturb" light so that they could sleep. Air conditioning worked in both rooms. In the minibar upon arrival, water and a few soft drinks. For free. Further, only water was replenished. The only thing that bothered me from time to time was the unobtrusive cat smell that appeared in the bathroom. Either the local water has a specific composition, or something, but what happened, happened.

The restaurant has an excellent selection of food.
Of course, there is no exclusive like lobster, but there are always several side dishes - potatoes, rice (I have never eaten tastier), spaghetti, various sauté s; several types of meat, fish (mainly dorado) - fried, smoked, salted; salads - even Olivier, shake it, cook it; fruits and desserts; and the most delicious bread. Drinks - juices, sodas, local Efes beer, local alcohol cocktails (and pretty good ones). Not only will you not go hungry, you will make a few circles around the food tables to try everything. Not a coffee lover, but the coffee seemed terrible, from the machine, but the tea is gorgeous.

There is a late breakfast and a late dinner - a very limited number of dishes, but you will not stay hungry even at midnight. In addition, a snack bar is open by the pool during the day, where there are always either burgers or hot dogs, french fries, hundredths, meat, fruits. The hotel has a patisserie with a variety of desserts.
There is also a Turkish grandmother who bakes traditional Turkish pastries - gozleme.

There is also a cocktail bar by the pool, open until late at night.

As a result - +5 kg on the scales upon return.

There are outdoor and indoor pools. We didn't use the indoor one, so I can't say anything. But the outdoor pool is great - large and clean. The water is chlorinated. There were no crowds around the pool. Lots of free sun loungers. In the afternoon, sports competitions - a water field, shooting from a gun, darts, volleyball. There are two slides - not a water park, but very cool. One is simple, the other is with turns.

The beach is chintz. Clean. Slightly inconvenient entrance to the sea: 2 meters of shallow water near the coast, and then immediately deep, so it may not be suitable for children. But we both patted the shore and swam in the depths. There are plenty of sun loungers on the beach for everyone. Next to the beach is another cocktail bar, and during the day there is an ice cream point.
In the evening, animators entertain children, and later adults. Interesting show programs. Chico and Lucy - you are the best!

The hotel itself has an almost 24-hour cocktail bar.
Internet is free in the lobby. For 2 euros per day, you can connect to the Internet from anywhere in the hotel - the Internet works well on the beach, in the rooms, in the restaurant - anywhere. Access is purchased per device, not per hotel room. We made it easier. We bought access for a mobile phone, and from it a wi-fi access point distributed the Internet to a laptop and another phone.

The hotel has several shops with all sorts of little things from swimwear and slippers to a hairdresser and Turkish delight. Moreover, the prices are really cheaper than for Turkish delight in duty free at the airport.

The hotel area is not straight to big, but there is where to walk. The boundaries of the beach between the hotels are open, you can walk from hotel to hotel.

From Anex Tour to the hotel guide Nazar. Great guy, he says a lot.

However, some things may not be known. In particular, there are no lunch boxes in the hotel. We had an early flight home, so we had to take care of our satiety on our own. The hotel couldn't help us.
This is the only downside.

In general, the holiday went great. Those minuses that are, for me, do not spoil the picture of my holiday. Considering my experience as a tourist, I can say for sure that the hotel is clearly not 5 *, but a solid 4 *, but the rest is definitely worth the money.

The main disadvantage, which, unfortunately, does not depend on the hotel, is a bunch of ill-mannered and arrogant katsapov who behaved as if everyone was to blame for them here. It was a pity for the hotel workers who, not understanding anything, listened to some claims from the cave Mokshans.

The main advantage of the hotel is its staff. Always welcoming and friendly.
