Твердая бюджетная пятерка Solid budget five

Like everyone else, I read reviews about hotels before departure and write them myself) On the eve of the vacation, there were quite negative reviews about this hotel and I will say that they are partially true, but let's start everything in order:
1. Departure and settlement
We flew from Zaporizhzhya, the UIA carrier, there were no complaints, everything was on schedule. Upon arrival in Antalya, no PCR tests, no codes, no one checked, although there are different horror stories.
The road from the airport takes 2.5-3 hours, then whoever is lucky and how many deliveries to other hotels will be. It infuriates that they make a type of technical stop where they offer to buy local souvenirs / sweets, etc.

Thanks to the reviews on YouTube, I realized that I needed to settle with a sea view, which I did for a surcharge of $ 50, settled in room 3627. The rooms are standard, clean, the furniture is in good condition, there is a mini-bar with water / juices (every day they they replenish it for free), a free safe (also +), there was a fungus in the bathroom in some places, but they didn’t pay attention to it, they came to relax, and not to look for flaws.
2. Nutrition
Many write that there is nothing to eat, this is really a lie. I don’t argue, breakfasts are standard, like everywhere else, but for lunch and dinner they ALWAYS cook several types of grilled meat + fish, there is pizza, delicious spaghetti. There are always 2 types of edible soup, a huge selection of salads and fresh vegetables, some kind of stew, rice, pasta, potatoes, a lot of fruits (watermelon, plums, pears, apples, peaches), you can’t try sweets. I'm curious, what else do you need?
There is also a snack tank that works from 11 to 17, they give out fries, burgers, snacks, salads, and for some reason people always eat there, they don’t disdain)))
Now there is a restriction due to covid and the queues are a little tense when the restaurant employees impose food on you, but I'm not in a hurry, standing for an extra 2-3 minutes is not a problem.
Alcohol, like everywhere else in budget hotels, is bullshit, but mojito comes in with a bang.
Conclusion on nutrition, it is 5-
3. Territory
The territory is not very large, as for me, it is dirty and in Egypt they follow this better. There are many places for photo shoots. Grade 4
4. Beach and pools
This is a sore subject of this hotel, because. for 270 rooms, I personally counted 120 sunbeds on the beach and another 80 near all the pools, totaling no more than 200 (! ). It infuriates that the battle for sun loungers begins at dawn and at 7 am there are no more places near the pools, you can find several on the sea. You will say this is all our people, but you are mistaken, 50-60% of the hotel contingent are Poles and I personally saw how at 5-30 they run to book sunbeds near the pools! For this hotel a huge minus!
The pools are not particularly at the bottom and clean, I have never seen them vacuumed, as they do in Egypt.
The sand on the beach is dirty because of cigarette butts.

The entrance to the sea is sandy and it is a small lagoon where everyone splashes, but we walked a little to the right, to the neighboring hotel and it was almost always empty there. For the beach a solid 4.
5. Animation
Everything is standard: a welcome dance, then bocha, volleyball, etc. Show in the evening. Grade 4.
Everyone asks for the Internet: he caught well in our room and in the lobby, he catches the Utopia net on the beach, he is not near the pools.
A big plus is the location of the hotel, because. 100 meters from it begins the market street, which is very long and in the evenings we went there for a walk, to shop. The prices there are 2 times cheaper than in Ukraine, the quality is better, but they don’t like to bargain because in Egypt)))
Conclusion on the hotel: this is a budget 5, I paid 1.300 euros for a week for three (it costs 1.000 euros for two) in the midst of the holiday season.
It’s not worth waiting for seafood and some frills here, who wants them, the Utopia Hotel is nearby, where the price starts from 1000 euros per person per week. One of the advantages of the hotel is the new, not yet shabby rooms. I don’t know if I will return here, but I can safely recommend the hotel to everyone.
