Immediately make a reservation that I did not choose this gypsy camp. I was forced by this Coral Travel hotel at the Antalya airport, without warning instead of the booked one. But this is not about the service of the tour operator, but about the hotel.

Someone chooses just such huge, overcrowded noisy hotels with deafening animation, a paddling pool instead of the sea within walking distance, shopping nearby. . .
There is no internet in the hotel. Paid - wiring, people paid and got the same as the rest - watch at the reception for those rare moments when you can connect for a couple of messages. It's easier to buy a phone card and call from a payphone right there on site.
You will not be able to even just sleep here - roar, music, screams from 10 am to 2 am.

You will not be able to eat in peace - first you need to find a free table with a dirty tablecloth, cutlery and cold food. Tasteless, sometimes comes across stale dishes. The snack bar prepares gozleme and shawarma in front of you, it's quieter there, but the choice is limited.

You will have to drink any drinks all the time only from plastic and cardboard.
Water in the room is not put, people are gaining from the cooler. In Migros, a one and a half liter bottle of water costs 1.5-2 lira, in a grocery store for locals - 90 kurush.
The sea is not here. There is a fenced pool with muddy sea water, in which people splash like herring in a barrel. This is Anapa. To the open clear sea 400 meters to the left of the hotel through two neighboring hotels. There are shallow waters, and waves, and a fresh breeze, and silence, and calmness.
The territory of the hotel, in principle, is convenient as a beach option. The lower beach is crowded, bad umbrellas, one shower for everyone and no toilet. There you can sometimes feel the remnants of a breeze blocked by the pontoons of neighboring Granada.
The lounge area is quieter and more comfortable, imported sand, better sheds, but it is fenced with glass, so you feel like in a bathhouse.
The staff is not so much rude as dissatisfied, indifferent and indifferent. Nobody taught them to "keep face". Even at the reception they just try to get rid of you quickly.
Not once in 10 days did they change my towels, despite requests. Bed - 1 time, because I went into the room during the so-called. "cleaning". Finding out that there were no towels and appreciating the quality of her efforts, I defiantly took the left tip in front of the maid.
Local alcohol, neither wine nor beer did not like. Cocktails - colorful chemistry. An alternative to this is a night bar with imported drinks: it opens at 23.00 and is very hard to find there because of the roar of Soviet pop music.
There is a small fruit bar where you can buy freshly squeezed pomegranate or orange juice, ice cream, strawberries, figs, bananas.
Shopping street with Migros, local grocery, clothing nearby.
