We rested with a family of 2 adults + 1 child from May 31 to June 10. I will immediately describe the pitfalls that you can encounter in this splendor and which can spoil your mood.
1. Settlement. If you have paid for the main building, then it is far from a fact that you will be settled there immediately. I talked with many people who, having paid for the main building, received a bungalow upon arrival at the hotel, or they paid extra 100-200 dollars. for the right to live in a building. Otherwise, "meest net. " And one family that refused to live in a bungalow was generally moved to some hotel in Belek. It seems that all this rigmarole with numbers is a well-established business of Utopia workers. such situations, it is much easier to take a ticket from a bungalow, and upon arrival, the receptionists themselves will be happy to give you the main building for a modest fee of 100-200 dollars.
2. The so-called Ultra All. There is no ultra and close. In the lobby and pool bars there is a standard set of drinks, and they don’t even make those cocktails that we were calmly made in other hotels where it was just All. True, people who had a rest earlier said that in Everything was in the beginning-mid-May. It can be seen that the shop is covered during the season.
3. The notorious steps. If you are accommodated in a bungalow, try to agree that they would give you the first line from the main building, or at least the second. if you are an elderly person, or a mother with a small child, then reusable ascents and descents will tire you out.
We were ready for this, so our vacation was not overshadowed by anything, unlike the people who went to the main building on Ultra All and were indignantly indignant that there was nothing of this.
Everything was fine with us. The 3-hour transfer from the airport went unnoticed. And so we go to the hotel reception. There we are met by the infamous Anex tour guide Rashad, who drank blood from many of our tourists. We go with him to soft sofas fill out the papers, where he is sympathetically interested in what room we would like to live in. I was frostbitten, saying that we didn’t care where to change clothes and sleep. Rashad understood everything, and, having filled out the papers for us, he walked away, losing interest. I, having spoken Turkish with the employees, handing them a souvenir in the form of a bottle of good vodka, accompanied by the proverb "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" in Turkish, which brought them all into a state of shock, received a bungalow on the first line, and two keys to it , which is very convenient, because. absolutely nothing works in the room without a key. And if you want to leave the child in the room in the evening and go for a walk yourself, then 2 keys are needed.
Now for the hotel itself:
1. Location. Simply gorgeous. So much has been written about this that I won’t repeat myself. You can take pictures all day. 5+
2. The territory is very large, all in greenery. There are about 10 pools on the territory, so there are no problems with sunbeds by the pools. You can always find something suitable. At the very bottom there is a wonderful water park. building is about how to climb to the 15th floor, so calculate your strength. It takes an average of 5 minutes to go to the sea. You can wait for a minibus, but it will be faster on foot. in joy. (And there are no problems with intestinal motility. hehe. ) 5 points.
3. The service is normal. The room is cleaned well, the mini-bar was replenished, The waiters in the restaurants are efficient. cocktails and other alcohol queues of 10-12 people. We would put an additional couple of bartenders and there would not be this squalor in the form of soviet queues. 4 points.
4. Nutrition. In general, not bad. But you need to take into account a number of points. Firstly, breakfasts, in my opinion, are very meager. Some kind of surrogate sausage products that are impossible to eat, incomprehensible cold snacks. for which sometimes you had to stand for 3-5 minutes and caught up with buns with jam. Tea and coffee are all ready in the vending machines. That is, there is no choice. you could do it as you like, with or without milk. There are vending machines with various "juices". But the concentration is deadly, I diluted it with water one to one. Of the fruits for breakfast, there were only apples.
Lunches are not bad, but you can feel the economy mode. 2-3 meat dishes for an amateur, 2 types of soups, as a rule, there was a long queue for one type, although, in my opinion, the second soup is normal. There were vegetables, but without fanaticism. Side dishes - traditional spaghetti pasta, rice, potatoes in different forms. Traditional pastry cakes. Fruits - watermelons, oranges, apples. Sometimes they put unripe apricots and unripe cherry plums. weeks before us were both strawberries and bananas.
If you wish, if you don’t feel like going to a restaurant, you can dine at the sea and in the water park. The bar in the water park is free this year. It works from 10.00 to 17.00. , as for me), french fries, you can build a hamburger from dubious cutlets, some kind of fried fish (economy option).
In general, at the expense of breakfast and lunch, of course, no one died of hunger, it was possible to get stuffed, but somehow everything was without a soul. Savings were felt.
The most feast of the belly was at dinner. Every day something cool was cooked on the grill or on the grill. Either kebabs, or kebabs, or salmon, or lamb-veal. Almost every evening they carried a huge barbecue to the main pool, where the poor cook, in the heat , fried something for dinner in the smoke.
From about 15 o'clock at the exit from the restaurant near the main pool they gave ice cream. For children, ice cream at the same time was in the kids club.
Alcohol is normal. Vodka, crayfish, whiskey, cognac, gin and various cocktails based on them. At first I drank whiskey in its pure form, then switched to gin and gin and tonic. Very nothing. Beer flows like water. Oh, I forgot to take the fish from home!
In general, the food is mediocre. Dinner helped out. But you won’t go hungry. 4 points.
5. Entertainment. The main entertainment for us was the water park. normal. A very important point is the tiles laid around the pools. At a distance of 1 meter from the pool, the tiles do not slip. Next comes the usual tiles, on which you can fall very easily. There were cases with us. the slippers bought for this occasion did not save at all. You could ride them like ice skates. So be careful yourself and with the children so as not to spoil the rest. On the territory of the water park there is rafting down the water on boats and mattresses. We tried it once and didn’t stop anymore. Very slow and uninteresting. There is also a green area where you can sit on the grass, lie down on pillows or in a hammock. Cool. The first 3-4 days we hung out at the water park. look at the animators. For the first few days I saw some animators only in a restaurant for food. They could only be recognized by their branded T-shirts, they were no different from vacationers. In order to have fun, you had to go after them yourself and offer yourself as a participant one or another event. When, at the end of a week of rest, we figured out what was where, it became more interesting. In general, events are held, but rather sluggishly and quietly. Little sense. There is no team. Animators change all the time. Evening shows were generally sad and uninteresting to watch.
But nothing. We are positive people. We went periodically to the water slides, played water polo and darts. My wife went to yoga, the child hung out in the kids club and on the playground. We went to the sauna and steam room. Very good. But you always want more. 4 points.
6. Beach. Normal. You can enter or jump into the sea from the pier. free. We took a kayak for a swim. When the waves are good -
very exciting. It's hard not to roll over.
It was cool to walk to the left side of the pier. First along the coast, then along the stones. Stone rock formations resemble some kind of Irish fjords. Fish swim in stone mini lakes, crabs crawl. Beauty. Bananas grow right near the shore. Eh! We arrived early. In 3 weeks it would have been just right.
7. There is a mini club for children from 10 to 12 and 14 to 17. There, children watch cartoons, draw, cut something. Playground. Normally so. But ours was bored in the evenings. The mini-game console, taken with it, helped out.
In general, in general, I liked the hotel. The price-quality ratio is excellent. The main thing is a positive attitude, and no trifles will spoil your vacation. I wish everyone a good rest in Utopia.
I will also add that upon departure at the Antalya airport, the Turkish customs officers spoiled the mood, who took all the liquid from hand luggage, including children's juices. It was useless to talk about something. And this despite the fact that at the entrance to the airport it is written that hand luggage up to 1 liter of liquid. Fucking chocks!
