Good day everyone! I’ll make a reservation right away that it’s the first time in Turkey in general, but before that I flew with my family to Anapa several times, so there is something to compare with. I write this review as it is, honestly and without prejudice.
So, we took a tour for 5 days / 6 nights, the very beginning of July 2023. Amount - 128000r. Expensive for peasants, but what can you do. The flight was carried out by Aeroflot, so the flight lasting 5 hours was comfortable.

Arrived, arrived by bus. By the way, the bus transfer from the airport to the hotel takes about 2.5 hours, taking into account a 15-minute intermediate stop in a specialized place to smoke / buy something. I do not advise you to go there, the prices are space: for example, a can of Pringles cost $ 6, after which I turned around and left. Another point that I did not like is that the guide always draws attention to the fact that you can thank the bus driver with a banknote. I think it's redundant.


You can talk endlessly about the hotel.
So, since we have a “standard” room, the receptionist offered to change it to a more comfortable one with a sea view, but we had to pay only 60 dollars. Naturally we refused. If you have experience in raising high and there are reasonable arguments, then you can change the number absolutely free of charge and at any time (Turks do not like to change numbers at lunchtime).
Then, as for the Internet: there is free access at the frontal place, but in the room it is paid. The amount is very, very unjustified: 1 day - $ 2.7 days - $ 10.14 days - $ 20. The speed is low - about 4-6 Mbps, ping is high. Only one person can connect. I don’t know how on IOS, but on Android you can make a forwarding and distribute the Internet purchased at the hotel to your own relatives. The Turks, of course, are hospitable, but their requisitions upset me.

Our number, as I said, is "standard". The furniture is tired, shabby in places, the repair was done poorly and hastily.
There was a tiny refrigerator. It's funny, but the platbands in the bathroom are made up of pieces that hurt the eyes. From the outside, the casing is generally with gaps. Cleaned in the room is very mediocre: a mirror with stains, dirt in the corners. But, the cleaners clean every day, and wipe only the floors.

The room is very dim, just uncomfortable: the whole room has only two night lights on the bedside tables and one on the wall (and even then, without sidewalls). I never understood why they put soap bars the size of half a matchbox in the bathroom, when you can put one normal bar for the entire check-in period? Yes, by the way, our shower head was leaking very badly, I didn’t apply, but I made a conclusion. About the discomfort when washing in the shower, I will not describe, so everything is clear. A few words about the toilet: it is installed (probably in all rooms), not according to the standard of 40 cm, but higher, which creates a certain discomfort.

The air conditioner cannot be turned on and left, the room works on a card, and when it is removed, everything is de-energized. It is also impossible to turn on the air conditioner with the balcony door open - it just turns off. Air conditioning, although it was visually new, but cooled mediocre.

Apparently the "standard" implies a dismissive attitude towards the number. So I don't understand how this hotel is related to 5 stars? Yes, by the way, there was a safe in the room, which, of course, was not screwed to the wall, and which could not be opened, since there was no key. At the reception they said that they would figure it out within 5 minutes, but no one came for 5 days. O-responsibility.

Every evening, from about 22 to zero in Aventura and nearby hotels there is a disco with very loud music. Apparently between the hotels there is an agreement that includes one person on certain days. If you go to bed at this time, you will not fall asleep even with the windows closed.
We actually had an incident on the third night: a low-frequency periodic rumble began, which gave off so much into the pillow that we all immediately woke up. And so on until 4 am. Of course, I went to the reception desk at one in the morning, but they couldn’t help me, because no one knows why this happens. The residue remains...

Meals - buffet. The food is good, but, in general, the same from day to day. Lots of spicy and greasy. At lunch, there is little meat (for example, barbecue or chicken), and one person fries it, therefore, you will have to stand in a very long line. From sweet Turkish I saw only pakhval u and halva, but there were a lot of sweet tartlets, cakes (very sugary), and so on.

The beach is sandy, but in some places there are natural underground stones, so be careful. The beach, in fact, consists of two parts: one part is near the sea, the second part is the pier. An incident occurred on this beach - someone bit his wife on the thigh. It swelled right away.
Well, maybe enough to milk the common people who buy tickets for fabulous money?


I draw your attention to the fact that reverse boarding passes at Antalya Airport are not valid, so you should not print them out, as well as save a QR code on your phone - you still have to stand in line for check-in. But check-in is valid a day before departure, so you can freely book landing sites.
