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.

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.

Upon arrival at the hotel at the reception, the staff is very rude to answer any question in a rude manner, at the bar near the main pool there are very rude bartenders and waiters who can demand a tip almost with obscene language, which is very unpleasant! There is no security for customers at night, because there was a case when a person in a state of intoxication beguiled the door and opened the door with his key, this is a very strange fact to which no one could give an answer! The condition of the hotel is in very poor condition! But there are also good sides of this hotel, for example, all the show programs that the animators prepare are very interesting for both children and adults, these people are really professionals in their field, I would also like to write with gratitude and respect about the staff who work in the restaurant, everyone, without exception, would like to say thank you for the good attitude and friendliness! It's about the staff! In general, I don’t want to consider this hotel for my next trip to Turkey, as there was a very bad sediment on my soul after being rude at the reception and the bar! I hope that the management will read this review and draw conclusions! Since I think that the receptionist is first of all the face of the hotel, and nice and adequate people should work there, just like at the bar!

The hotel is compact, not 5 *, of course, 4 *, but by Turkish standards sometimes 3 *, but cozy, the territory is green. Nearby hotels are real 5 * and much cooler. Number Small, but after repair, everything worked, cleaned, cosmetics were in sufficient quantities (shampoo, conditioner, gel, soap), the air conditioner worked properly, but the view from the balcony left much to be desired.

The hotel is compact, not 5 *, of course, 4 *, but by Turkish standards sometimes 3 *, but cozy, the territory is green. Nearby hotels are real 5 * and much cooler.
Number
Small, but after repair, everything worked, cleaned, cosmetics were in sufficient quantities (shampoo, conditioner, gel, soap), the air conditioner worked properly, but the view from the balcony left much to be desired. Every day a bottle of water 1.5 liters.
Beach
Small, few sunbeds, hunting for them every day, this is their biggest minus.
Nutrition
I expected more from Turkey (after Egypt). From meat, only chicken, there were kidneys (well, such), shawarma, river trout every day on the grill. Very tasty cakes and sweets!! ! Fruits are always apples, oranges, grapefruit, melon, watermelon, plums, pomelo. Evening ice cream. Of the cold appetizers / salads, I really liked the smoked mackerel.
Breakfasts are like everywhere else, but the pastries are terrible - tasteless, not fresh, oaky, I don’t know what this is connected with... Night soup is very tasty)
Alcohol is good.
Lunchbox - oooooh, this is a separate issue, it's zhuuuut! packaging - excellent, but opening... - the same oak loaf 1 piece, 1 apple, 3 slices of different cheese, 2 slices of cucumber, 1 matchbox like Nutella. All pleasant =) Conclusion - take from dinner / lunch / breakfast !!!!! ! (we had a morning flight - they collected it in our trays in the evening... thank God !!! , otherwise they would have died =) 2 hours to the airport, plus 2 hours at the airport - so think about it. They looked askance, but did not take away =) The children and I had something to do =)
Excursions
They took it every other day, ordered it on the website before the trip, they didn’t take it from the guide.
And these are our best impressions of Turkey!!!
Animation
She's almost gone. Animators are sluggish as are the tourists.
Tourists
90% of Russia, therefore, the service is appropriate for them =) They are rude to the staff, litter, resent, behave like pigs, but the staff is always respectful. We knew about it and more disappeared on excursions.
Territory
There are no large malls nearby, but there are small, cozy shops and the price there . . well, just unreal!! ! Insulated tracksuit with fleece for only $10! In general, we bought so much that we barely got home =)
Output
If the hotel is only for spending the night, then you can take it, but it’s better, it’s still better to take something =)

The opinion is not clear. On the one hand, you need to understand that 5 stars in Turkey is not the same as, say, in France (where, by the way, there are not very many 5-star hotels and they appeared there relatively recently). In Turkey, the hotel assigns star rating to itself by the number of rooms and by paying a certain fee to the state.

Definitely not a 5 star hotel. (Terrible heat throughout the hotel building, in the elevator, corridors and restaurant-air conditioning in these rooms does not turn on at all !!! ) There has not been a repair for a long time - old carpets, wallpaper in the room, peeled and stained wallpaper, old air conditioners in the rooms. The territory is small and although care is visible behind it, one pool with rotten water and dirty pillows in the gazebos spoils the whole impression.
The hotel is calm until 10 am, then loud music begins and practically does not stop until 23 pm. So if you want to relax after dinner in your room and wait out the hottest time, then you definitely do not come here. Of course, the animators are trying, but you need to understand that the hotel area is small and the rooms that overlook the pool have poor soundproofing. I had to go to the beach after 10 am, where the music is almost inaudible. The beach is small, sunbeds are sorely lacking. Need to pick up at 7 am.
In terms of nutrition, in general, it’s good, but by the end of the rest you realize that it’s all the same monotonous. Very tasty cakes are prepared by an aunt near the restaurant at lunchtime.
The service staff tries very hard and is always polite, the cleaning of the rooms is so-so, but every day.
This is a budget hotel, you have to understand that. We advise you to choose hotels with a large territory and a large beach, but it will be more expensive.
There is no desire to come here again.

I put four only for a good menu in the restaurant and the normal condition of the rooms - clean, furniture and repairs are relatively good. Also enjoyed the animation. The rest was very upsetting - the rooms themselves are very small, the air conditioner is located in such a way that there is nowhere to hide from it at all, and here the dilemma is either to sleep in stuffiness or to get otitis media (like my son).

The rest was very upsetting - the rooms themselves are very small, the air conditioner is located in such a way that there is nowhere to hide from it at all, and here the dilemma is either to sleep in stuffiness or to get otitis media (like my son). There are no complaints about cleaning, except that three towels "left" the room, for which a deposit of $ 30 was paid. As soon as they demanded to show video surveillance, the towels were returned))) Well, it’s very inconvenient to wear these beach towels, dry them yourself, and you can change them to clean ones only after a day. Why not make booths near the pool like in normal hotels and cards? Probably, the calculation is that you, being drunk, will not notice the loss, and then do not prove anything, and the deposit will go to the one who handed over the towels for you, but we do not drink, and we knew exactly the time interval when the towels were stolen - dinner ( ((Further, there is actually no beach, entry into the sea for children too, only a pier, the sea is as clean as in Odessa))) The territory is beautiful, but very small, the pools are all unheated, even for children. And the main thing that killed it was the contingent, or it happened to us, or is it the norm there. 99% of Russians, who, when there are a lot of them, simply turn into cattle. Drunken fights and scandals at the disco, which end with an ambulance, bandaged hands and plasters on the face, more than once, they start getting drunk from 7 in the morning, then they sleep on sunbeds and they don’t watch the children at all, they smoke almost everything and everywhere, there’s nothing to breathe. They allow children to relieve themselves in the pool, arguing that those who flooded their eyes in the morning also don’t bring them to the toilet, they didn’t hear about diapers for the pool, they go to the restaurant in swimsuits and swimming trunks. The staff is nice, but the comments for the above does not seem to be helpful. The repertoire of the animation is appropriate - chanson, disco 80-90. There were, of course, normal families, but they are few. Rest after such a rest (((

Very friendly and helpful staff, the food is quite varied, we can safely say that the food was good and tasty. The room was cleaned and linen was changed every day, although it was not so important for us. For a family vacation, it's the best! The older child was very interested, a good animation program, for a little daughter there are also very comfortable conditions and suitable food.

Yes, and I forgot to add, for that kind of money, even more than excellent!

Budget hotel. No frills, but everything you need is there. Beach, pier, decent cuisine, 24-hour food, bars, pools, animators. . . Upon arrival, we were given a room with windows overlooking the restaurant and a bit of the sea. Near the stairs - the entrance to the hotel from the bar and pool. It was VERY noisy, especially at night, when cheerful people entered the hotel after a disco, gatherings and heavy drinking.

Screams, quarrels, laughter, fun, searching for each other and children....
They asked to be relocated. And got a room with a view of the sea and the neighboring hotel. There, of course, roosters sang and a disco, but it's far away. And it didn't bother us. So be careful when choosing a room.
Hamam - excellent and foamy and classic massage. I advise
Dinners are always great, especially on Saturdays with ice cream and music
The room is cleaned well, the bed is made every 2-3 days, towels - every day
The territory is well-groomed, watered, cut, washed...

We arrived at the hotel at 9, settled at 12. There is practically no beach, there are enough places on the pier. The food is normal, there is enough for everyone, but there was oil with mold at breakfast. the guard took him away by force and when no one saw him hit him in the face. Then he denied everything, and the cameras were turned off in the hotel.
