I would like to go from afar and start with the bus, there are no complaints about it, as well as to the tour operator itself.
But I will give you advice, if you drive to the hotel for several hours, dress warmly, the air conditioner is usually turned on in the bus to the maximum and you can catch a cold!

About guides.
Never noticed before how they impose their services! Apparently a long stay in Turkey makes itself felt) First: they constantly hint at tea, for example, leave it to the driver, they say, such a tradition! I'm not greedy, but you get a salary, no need to ask, if I like the service, I'll thank you!
Second: the hotel guide pushed his services even more, with such a hint, do not try to take it in other places, you can lose your health! But experienced tourists don’t buy anything from a hotel guide, well, you can only change money or if you are completely lazy and don’t count money!

And when we said that we would go everywhere ourselves, it felt like he was even offended by us and changed money with disdain!

Staff and accommodation.
I got the impression that at the Ocean Hotel the staff is paid more. I remember the attitude towards us in Aqua, I specify this about the reception! The waiters here and there are courteous! But Ocean is better at cleaning rooms! Ocean has a Russian speaking girl who is always willing to help.
We rested from April 13 to April 22.2019, so to speak, the beginning of the season, there were queues, but we were quickly registered and given bracelets, and we went to eat)
As I understand it, all visitors are offered a choice of ordinary rooms with a "mountain view" (but I note that they are quieter than with a sea view, since there is a highway! ) And with a surcharge of $ 20 with a sea view, we chose with a surcharge ! No regrets, the view is really gorgeous!

Room and lobby.
The room, as my wife said, is excellent and worthy of a separate description. Firstly, it is large and everything is new, from furniture to household appliances.
. The mini bar is replenished with drinks every time! The free safe is a very nice bonus. There is a TV with Russian channels, and the furniture is not just arranged in free space, but one feels that a designer worked here. By the way, I looked at photos of other tourists, many rooms are different, it's very nice! I note that the wall cabinet does not have doors, which in my opinion is the right decision. The air conditioner and hair dryer work great! And the hotel also has forced ventilation, before that I lived in a room where it was not there, and in the season it is very stuffy there! In short, there are no complaints and a large balcony brings only positive emotions!

Corridors, elevators and lobby are all fine, once again everything is new! The furniture is beautiful and well-placed throughout the hotel. In the evening, a lot of people communicate and spend time there, but of course, there is also a 24-hour bar and a burger place nearby.

On the lowest floor there are shops, but just with crazy prices! Also on the lower level there is a dining room, a sauna, a gym (by the way, it is very small for such a large hotel! ) There is also an indoor pool, but I still don’t understand why it is there if there is no heating, we were in April, and the water was cold. Maybe they just didn’t turn on the heating, in short, a strange situation! There is a cafe next to the burger place, we liked it very much, it is open 11:00 - 16:00. There are only sweets, only the assortment is a bit scarce)

Territory.
It is the largest and most well-groomed in this chain of hotels! There are two water parks for children and one for adults! Plenty of sun loungers, enough space for everyone! Of course there is a bar nearby. I won’t write much here, look at the photos and of course there is a video with a detailed review of the hotel below. But I note there is a kids club where you can leave the children!

Food.
The food is good, many use it) the menu has everything, and scrambled eggs, cereals, scrambled eggs, chicken, meat, a huge assortment of vegetables and a lot of salads, I’ll separately say french fries are cooked well, but when it was pounded, I preferred it) There are a lot of fruits only in season, and in April we had only apples, pears, oranges and grapefruits.

Beach.
It is located within walking distance, which is nice, but the descent of water is a minus of the hotel, in other matters, like the entire coast from Antalya to Alanya. For those who don’t know, there is a huge territory on the beach, there are a lot of cafes and restaurants, most of them are free! Plenty of pools for both kids and adults and even more sunbeds. Everything is beautifully planted with trees and flowers, it is very pleasant to take a walk in the evening, and in the season there are discos right on the beach. There are football grounds and I also saw beach volleyball players, every year they add a lot of new things.

Results - this is the best hotel of the Eftalia chain.
