We rested at the hotel from 06.08 to 19.08 together with a friend. We personally liked everything. We arrived at the hotel at about 13-30, after 14-00 we settled in, during this time we managed to go to dinner, and then to the room, quickly unpack things and go to the SEA! ! ! I will clarify that in Turkey for the second time, before that I rested in a 3 * hotel.
About food. For breakfast, everything that can be made from eggs and just eggs, several varieties of bread, all kinds of buns, sweets, vegetables, cereals, various cheeses, sausage (soybean), cottage cheese, porridge, soup, maybe I forgot something.
For lunch. Meat for 2 weeks of our stay was everything except pork, fried fish, grilled, vegetables, salads, soups, all sorts of side dishes, sweets, fruits.
For dinner. The same variety as for lunch, only even more, in my opinion.

And there is also a snack bar, an aqua bar, where there are sweets and ice cream, a bar on the pier where drinks are, it's all open from 10-00. There is nothing to eat only from 17-00 to 19-00 when everything is closed. Went for a night breakfast, there is nothing! Only bread and coleslaw was, in my opinion.
About the sea. The sea is clean, the water is some kind of greenish-blue, very beautiful. The beach is small, so almost no one swims for some reason, only very small children with their parents and those who swim poorly, there are always sunbeds. Water 27 degrees! We somehow swam at night, so cool, the sea is very calm and warm, the sensations are indescribable!
About the pier. Very comfortable sunbeds, soft, white, there are tables where to put food and drinks. Everyone is cleaned, there are special tables where to put the dirty dishes, in the evening they wash the pier and sun loungers, and after 2 nights it is closed, we once sat up and we were very politely asked. There are two large stairs on the pier, wooden and wide with special paths, and a few more small, iron ones. For example, I finally learned how to swim.
And in the evening you can sit on the pier to listen to the sound of the sea (and also music from a disco nearby) and admire how the hotel glows in different colors.
About pools.
There are several pools, with slides, without slides large, for children, but here is one BUT, as always, after 20-00 you can’t swim in the pool, but you really wanted to.
About the weather. The heat, 35 probably every day, my girlfriend really wanted to see the rain in Turkey and did not wait.
About the hotel. Very beautiful, still brand new, the finishes are chic. Everything is marbled and gold. The illumination of the hotel in the evening is certainly unforgettable. Everything is washed and rubbed constantly, I have not seen any dirt.

About the staff. Everyone is very polite and friendly. I didn’t notice a difference in service, the waiters in the restaurant always came up when asked, the room was cleaned every day, towels and bed linen were constantly changed, although we didn’t leave a tip, we twisted swans and roses on the bed a couple of times. The bar was replenished in the room every day. Everyone at the hotel said hello, both animators and managers. There are Russian-speaking girls at the reception.
About the number. We had a standard for two.
The mattresses with pillows in the room are very comfortable, I usually can’t sleep anywhere, but here I fell asleep as soon as I got to the pillow. Lighting everywhere in the room, this has not yet seen. There is a safe, everything was stored there, there were no problems. The room is small, but everything is somehow in the mind. Even switches. On the balcony there is a table, artificial rattan chairs. The floor is laminate, better than tile, more comfortable. I like it.
About restaurants. We went to Turkish and Italian, you can go there only because of the interior, and the fact that you are served by a waiter, but he is the only one for everyone. We didn’t wait long, but we waited, while basically you can quickly collect everything and eat. Wine is given there for free as in the main restaurant, and the rest for money. The menu is quite small if anyone cares.
About sunbeds. Who doesn't have sunbeds? You can find a sunbed at any time.
After reading the reviews, we were preparing for the fact that we would get up at 7 in the morning and take our seats, but it didn’t happen, everything worked out
About entertainment. Entertainment starts from 10 o'clock, darts, boccia, later step, belly dance, shooting, cocktail game, water football, volleyball, games in the pool. Animators call everyone who wants to go, who does not want to lie like a log in the sun. Show program in the evening: Mr. and Miss Granada, dance shows, foam party, different every day. From 23-00 there is a disco in a closed room under the amphitheater, for some reason few people go there.
About PEGAS. We had a Pegasus tour operator. Horror. We flew back and forth, well, thank God. But everything else is a complete scam. No hotel guides. Anya is so rare in general ...The info-meeting began with an advertisement for their leather and jewelry centers and the fact that in which case, we can even buy things on credit.

It was impossible to ask them anything, on the first day we arrived, we asked when they would show us everything, they said tomorrow at the info meeting (and nothing was said about the hotel until they asked), even priests from the chairs were not torn off, as a result, we climbed the entire hotel ourselves. And then, after a couple of days, we saw that every day tours around the hotel were conducted at 12-00, and the guides did not even hint about it. On the second day, we went with them to the hamam, as they said that the hamam in the hotel is not very good, and everything is expensive there and in general the services there will be minimal, but the hamam they brought us to turned out to be just a viper. And then we went to the spa at the hotel, where everything is really beautiful, clean, and there were always promotions and discounts!
They flew to Israel with them, our guide, our Russian woman Dina from Leningrad, was very interesting, but again, on the way, wherever possible, they brought us to some trading shops, even went to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher through the market.
Then we found out that hotel guides receive $ 300, and they earn the rest on excursions and trips to shopping centers. My girlfriend wanted to buy things for the child, we went with Pegasus to the textile center, horrific. I only saw such things in the Chinese market, where they textile their Turkish good Delhi is not clear. Who needs to go to Antalya, but not with Pegasus. An introductory tour to Antalya, by the way, meant a shopping tour, it’s good that we didn’t go, some who didn’t know, returned very dissatisfied.
About shops (for those who want to buy something). The hotel has several leather shops, jewelry, some rags.
So, in the Alice leather store (I don’t know about the rest), our Russian girl Christina works, she is very friendly and sweet, and so she offers to go to their factory in Side for free (things are sewn there for MONDIAL stores). My girlfriend and I went, for example, I didn’t buy anything, since there was no such goal, but she bought a leather raincoat and a coat (just super) made of pony, astrakhan and mink, she ordered a coat with delivery calculated upon arrival, so she sent on the 5th day, as we returned from Turkey, everything was very carefully packed. In general, if you are interested, you can safely order, the skin is good, the models are interesting, the tailoring quality is excellent, all the seams were glued on the coat, the prices are 2 times less than in our store (only on price tags, in the store they initially write exorbitant prices , but it is necessary and possible to bargain at least 60%, as a maximum of 80%, depending on what kind of thing, and still cheaper than we have in Krasnoyarsk).

R. S.

When we went as an excursion, a woman went with us from our hotel, we asked her about the hotel, she said she didn’t like it, but we didn’t understand why. She said that everything was pretentious, mirrors and gold all around. Why is it bad? In general, there are no comrades for the taste and color.
I liked the hotel, I would go again, but not with Pegasus.
