We rested in this hotel for a long time, in June 2005 with my 16-year-old son and a company of adults. Everything was great. Vacationers by national composition: many Germans, Russians, Poles, Austrians, Italians. On the day of arrival, we visited the Turkish bath with massage, tea. Okay, this is a must!
The hotel is right by the sea. Its vast territory is immersed in greenery and flowers / just some kind of botanical garden! /; 2 large swimming pools /one with slides, the other with a fountain/, 2 restaurants /1 - in the hotel building, the other - by the pool/, an outdoor bar, a Turkish woman baking gozlime, etc. There are, of course, individuals who need all the infra to be charged and work simultaneously. But I don't think it was necessary. The rooms were well maintained and spacious with excellent sea views. The staff both at the reception and in the restaurant are friendly, even without knowledge of English or German, no one was lost in my opinion. Food - just a fairy tale: they served a variety of dishes for every taste and age in unlimited quantities. And fastidious nursing mothers, etc. in general, one would have to wait at home, when the baby is at least a little older, before flying such a distance. After all, this is not a sanatorium and semolina porridge should be eaten at home. No offense.
Alcohol in the bar until one in the morning. The hotel has a modest disco with a bar, not so hot /probably one minus/. We went to a disco in Konakli, to the Summer Garden club. Healthy, beautiful, good music, people - from Europe to Asia. We also took an excursion to Pamuk Kale / class! impression of a lifetime /, We rode a yacht on the Manavgat River, which flows into the Mediterranean Sea. Then the ruins of ancient Side floated by, stopped in the sea, dived, swam, everything is fine. They danced on the yacht, held competitions, watched the show, gobbling up lunch. It is not necessary to buy excursions at the hotel, it is cheaper in the village. There were also various shows and themed evenings on site in the evenings. Who is bored, outside of it in the village there are a lot of bars and disco. Shopping in the evenings. We bought some gold / class design, and the composition is nonsense, although in Russia now any city is called gold /, silver, good cotton products / not the consumer goods that are usually brought to Russia /, sweets and souvenirs as gifts to the Motherland- mother.

The hotel beach is clean and sandy. There was enough space for everyone, the territory is large. We bought a photo session at sunset from a local photographer / this is a mandatory program there on offer / received excellent pictures as a keepsake, except for our own, amateur ones. Yes, animation, by the way, at the time of our stay worked in full, both for adults and for kids. Constantly dragged somewhere, then volleyball, then tennis, water polo, aqua aerobics, competitions in the pool between two teams / everything is in a heap, both old and young /.
In general, the trip was a success, everyone really enjoyed it. I heard from Russian vacationers that they come here 5 times. Well, that's overkill, in my opinion. In the world, but in the same Turkey, there are many more beautiful places that you can visit. After this trip we visited the Czech Republic, Sweden, Spain, Croatia. But all the same, I remember Turkey with warmth, its cheerful and friendly people, and I will definitely visit it again. I left with great regret, because we visited some kind of small paradise.
