I am resting in Turkey for the first time, so I did not put forward any special requirements. First of all, I wanted to take a break from everything and everyone, so as not to worry about anything, not to go hungry and so that the sea was cool. Looking ahead, I will say that all these "Wishlist" were more than satisfied! But first things first. . .
Departure at 16.20 to UIA, after more than 2 hours we were in Antalya. They quickly figured out which bus we should get on. Went with Join UP, host of Peninsula tours. The bus is chic, the guide Olya did not let us get bored on the road. Drive about 2 hours, half way stop type for coffee and toilet. We didn’t go to the toilet, from the price of a bottle of non-carbonated water 0.5 l to 1 dollar - we realized that we won’t have coffee either)))
We arrived at the hotel tired and hungry, and the check-in was slow. Tourists from Russia made a scandal, like I don’t want to go to this building, there is a road nearby, I want to go to another one. This slowed down the whole procedure, because. 4 buses arrived immediately. We were immediately upset that such a "shitty" service, the mood dropped to zero. But, as it turned out later, this was the only case of disorder. After checking in (for about an hour we were "settled" after filling out the questionnaire), we went to the "night soup" and sleep.

In the morning we already realized that not everything is so bad. The territory is green and well-groomed, and when we went for breakfast, we realized that we would definitely not be hungry here...
The hotel consists of 3-storey buildings, on each floor (in my opinion) 9 rooms. The rooms are not luxurious, but they are quite comfortable: the furniture is normal, although the door creaks near the closet. Big bed, clean beds. Another room is small (like for a child), we only put our things there. Shower normal, plumbing new. The balcony is spacious, drying clothes on the balcony. Air conditioning, TV, 2 bedside tables, wardrobe Well, in general, not an apartment, but quite normal! Of course, for 4 * it was possible to put LCD TVs, but I seem to have seen them in other rooms. There are several Russian-speaking channels, there is a Rada channel (!!!! ) and some other Ukrainian one.
The hotel is on the first line, the beach can be said "here it is. " On the beach there are sun loungers, umbrellas and other structures from the sun. 3 swimming pools: one behind the restaurant, the second with slides. Nearby is a third children's pool.
Bars - one near the large pool, the second almost on the beach. Near the beach bar, a DJ plays music. Repertoire - Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian pop music, well, recognized disco hits. Nearby is beach volleyball, chess (figures the size of a child), table tennis. They also say there is tennis, but it is paid.
The sandy beach is very good and relatively large. When leaving the beach - shower and foot rinse. Foot rinses are also on the territory, at the entrance to each house.
Sunset in the sea - chic, sand. True, when you go waist-deep and deeper, then there are stones. They are not sharp, the main thing is not to hit them with your foot. But as we understand, this phenomenon is not permanent. On the 5th day of rest there was a storm and these stones were washed with sand, they were gone at all))
By sea. The sea was amazing! Somewhere around 26-28 degrees. The air temperature during the day was more than 30, at night about 25.

What I especially wanted to highlight is the chefs and the kitchen. I would rate this hotel 11 out of 10. There was a lot of food, it was varied and tasty! Meat, salads, vegetables, fruits, sweets - it is impossible to try in just a week!! ! Grilled dishes for lunch and dinner. There was meat, liver, mackerel, trout, chicken, shawarma. . . you can't remember everything. Restaurant employees constantly replenish empty trays, you don’t need to rush at the beginning of breakfast, lunch or dinner - the same will happen at the end! At the bar near the beach - french fries, hamburgers, nuggets, vegetables. According to the schedule - all sorts of cakes, gozleme (pastries with cheese filling, cooked in the oven right there), etc. Well, drinks of course. Beer, cola, fanta, sprite, water, tea. Coffee and its derivatives in the machine - I understood from instant. Natural Turkish - for additional payment. Also from the paid one - ice cream (I did not see anyone buying it) and fresh juices. In the restaurant orange fresh $1, pomegranate type $2 (we took 2 pomegranates for $3). Near the beach fresh juices for $ 2 (like so). In principle, for a week of stay, we paid just these $ 3 for 2 pomegranate fresh for extra food. They drank coffee and coffee drinks from a vending machine. You can also eat ice cream at home. Alcohol is also quite possible to get by with the local "ball". The main thing is to be in time before 23:00, after that it is paid)))
We went to the hammam, the one that the guide offers. I will not paint, I'm tired, many letters)). Who needs - ask. In short, it's good! The price is $20 per person, but it's worth it.
We did not go shopping, such as a trip to shopping centers, which is supposedly included in the cost of the tour. We waited for others to go and asked about their impressions. In short, in most cases it’s a scam, you can buy something profitably if you are a merchant in the blood and can bargain until the seller loses consciousness))) By the way, there are shops on the territory of the hotel and the prices there are quite reasonable. My wife bought a bag for $15 (it will cost 800-1000 hryvnias for us), and they got cotton T-shirts for $3 each.
There are also shops near the hotel (we leave the hotel, go to the right, to the road adjacent to the right, across this road there are a number of shops adjacent to another hotel). What you can buy there for a good price is sweets. In boxes, by weight, etc. - Prices are lower than anywhere else. In the same area there are clothes and souvenirs. In principle, there is also something you can pick up. I would like to highlight the ZIMA store (not as an advertisement), there are sane prices for leather. Salesman Mehmet, very nice dude. He had a sale on leather jackets and sheepskin coats "all for $ 200", bought a leather jacket with his wife and still bargained well. How much - I will not write (he said that children also need to be fed))). But you can bargain, he is inferior. If there is no size, he offers to go directly to the factory in the evening if there is a group of people who want to.

About Wi-Fi (free). There is a type of it (there is a zone on the right at the entrance to the territory with chairs and tables, it almost does not catch at the reception, there is also a signal on the benches to the right of the reception), but sometimes its type is not there. You see it, there is this singal, but it does not connect. I think this is when there are a lot of applicants. Personally, I was able to connect in a day. On other days I saved "Roaming like at home from Vodafone". Of the 500 MB bundled, I spent less than 200 (viber, etc. , the main thing in the phone is to turn off background data and, just in case, put a limit, well, turn on data transfer when necessary). There is a paid Wi-Fi zone in the bar area near the pool, but we didn’t use it, but why? ))
Safe in the room $ 1 per day, took. Paid for all days $ 6 and the soul is calm.
There are also children's programs in the evenings, but we didn't go into that.
The contingent: many Turks, Germans, Belarusians, Baltic states, Ukrainians are also enough. Well, the Russians, where without them. But "Tagil" was not)))
Summary: the disorder was only at the settlement, everything else is beyond praise!! ! There are minor flaws, the main thing is not to pay attention to them, there are much more advantages. What is the variety in the menu and the work of the chefs worth!!!
If you need a good rest, unobtrusive service, good and varied food, drink, lie on the beach, swim in the sea at your side, swim in the pool - you are there!
If you want to be kissed on your heels, asked at every step "if everything is fine with you", smiled at you with or without - you are in another hotel, in 6 *))))))
I personally would love to go there again. But still, next time I will look for another - because I want variety. But if there is no choice or there are doubts, I will not hesitate to go to Green Fugle again))
There will be questions - ask, I will answer as far as possible.
