I returned from Turkey a week ago and I hasten to share my impressions. My husband, me and my 4 year old son went. The tour operator "Fresh Travel" was at its best, no complaints or complaints. The guys working there are just wonderful, all polite, attentive, courteous. As for the hotel, it's just great. We would gladly go there again. The choice of the hotel was approached very carefully, as we were traveling with a child for the first time. Antique Roman Palace met all expectations. All information about the hotel, which I read on the Internet, was confirmed. The hotel is really small, but crowded people were not observed. Enough space for everyone, as well as sunbeds by the pool. We never occupied sunbeds in advance, in the morning. Inside the hotel is very beautiful, everywhere cozy armchairs, sofas. The restaurant on the fifth floor is a separate song, the view from the open terrace is awesome, especially in the evening when the sun goes down and the lights come on. Such romance!
When we arrived, Yusuf, a young man working at the reception, who speaks excellent Russian, first offered us a room in the second building, but since we arrived already informed, we asked for a room in the first, main building. He replied very politely that he would try, but that he would have to wait a bit. It was lunch time, and we went to a restaurant located on the fifth floor. After dinner, Yusuf offered us a choice of three rooms, at no extra charge. We chose a room with a sea view and a stage on the second floor. The room was normal, clean, everything worked properly. Cleaned in the room every day, bedding changed every other day, towels - every day. The hotel staff is very polite, friendly, very attentive to children. The son was constantly stroked on the head, shook hands, etc. The food was excellent. The breakfast may not have had much variety, but we didn't leave hungry.
Breakfast offered eggs (boiled and fried), scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, sausages, a couple of times they gave oatmeal, tomatoes baked with cheese, several types of cereal, as well as different types of cheeses, sausages, cheese, plus a lot of greens and vegetables with fruits . For lunch there was always soup, not the same as we are used to seeing on our tables, but quite edible. The child ate and felt great. For the second, various dishes were offered (meat with vegetables, french fries, zucchini, eggplant, etc. ). In addition, from 11 o'clock in the lower bar, delicious pizza and Turkish flatbread were always prepared. Dinner was great! Every day they gave fish in different forms, shrimp and mussels were given a couple of times. My husband found a pearl in a mussel, a little truth, but nonetheless. Chicken in batter, fish, eggplant and stuffed peppers were cooked very tasty. Also for dinner they always baked some cakes and pastries, very tasty.

From fruits, oranges, apples, watermelons, melons, cherries, plums and apricots were given every day. As for vacationers, they were mostly Germans, Dutch, a little Pole and very few Russians. The hotel staff does not speak Russian well, but this did not interfere with communication. The animation was also in German, but we understood everything. For children, the program was standard, as in all hotels in Turkey, they liked it. The animators did their best. Personally, we did not need animation, we entertained ourselves. Almost every evening the animators took young people to discos in Alanya for four dollars. I went with Russian girls, I really liked it. The animators brought us, seated us at a table, bought fruit, nuts and some kind of cocktail. They didn’t leave us for a minute (we danced and they too, we went to the toilet, and they followed us), in general, they guarded us. After the disco we were taken to the hotel. Everything is decent and proper.
The beach across the road was not annoying, the entrance to the sea is rocky, but the sand is fine on the right and left. Sunbeds and umbrellas are always available. We did not use the bar on the beach, as it is paid.
Territoryach hotel is very green, beautiful. The slide is super, everyone had fun, both adults and children. The downstairs bar where they made tortillas and pizza (there was also a playground there) was very cozy. As a rule, there were always few people there, such a quiet environment.
The hotel guide Adam (special thanks to him) did not impose any excursions on us, was polite and even called and was interested in our vacation. As for excursions, we went to the Troya water park in Belek, which began to work only this year. Such a beautiful water park in the style of Ancient Greece, there are not very many slides compared to Aqualand in Antalya (we liked it more there), there is a dolphinarium.
In general, we liked it, for children there is a separate pool with children's slides, but our son mostly rode with us on adults. In conclusion, I want to advise this hotel to unpretentious tourists who want to relax and get a pleasant experience. The hotel corresponds to 4 stars.
