rested in Utopia from May 22 to June 4.2011. We are from Yekaterinburg, a family, two adults and a child of 4 years old. Tour operator Anex Tour. On May 22, we arrived in Antalya at 5 am local time, while we were waiting for everyone near the anex bus, especially two tourists who turned out to have left by taxi, an hour passed, after checking into 4 hotels, we were in Utopia at 10 am. Especially not tired, even a child who was interested and considered Turkish cars, for some reason constantly overtaking our bus.
Considering that this is not the first time in Turkey, the view of Utopia, at the entrance to it, of course, is amazing. As the Aneksovsky transfer man said, this is one of the best hotels in Alanya. Yes, indeed, the views of the hotel are amazing, on the mountains, on the sea, on the villages around. The check-in went very quickly, the receptionist was Russian-speaking, the main building was booked, in the passport $ 20, and a room on the 6th floor with a stunning view of the sea, the relax pool and the amphitheater =). The room is spacious, clean, double and single bed, armchair, table, safe, TV, air conditioning, electric kettle, with a set of tea, sugar, coffee and cream, minibar... slippers... once again I will say about the wonderful view from the balcony !
in the bathroom there is a standard set of towels (3 large, 3 for the face and for some reason 1 for the legs).
Having unpacked things, we went down for lunch, the main building consists of 4 residential floors, a reception, a lobby bar, smoothly flowing into a hall with shops, a fountain, tables of operators, -1 floor - restaurant, -2 floor Utopia spa center. Food in Utopia is good, resting that year in Asteria Elite Resort (Side) 5 * ultra, I can write that there is more choice of food, and Turkish cuisine is peculiar... sweetly peppered. Chicken, fish, lamb were always present at lunch and dinner, there was beef, tongue, and sushi. From fruits: bananas, apples, watermelons, melons, strawberries, apricots, pear compotes, cherries. Pastries and cakes are beyond praise, and what beauty the chefs made from pumpkins and watermelons when decorating the buffet!!! ! Breakfasts are standard for 5 Turkey, but comparing that year in Asteria, I will say that in Utopia there is more choice of dishes and the opportunity to feed a child (rice with milk, sweet porridge, omelettes, donuts, pancakes, pancakes, well, of course, cereal with milk). It is very difficult to stay hungry in Utopia, they are fed on the beach (chicken skewers, salads, fries, pasta), watermelon, apples, drinks. Delicious pizza in the water park, amazing cakes baked by a Turkish woman, if you go down from the main pool... Ice cream every day near the main restaurant and mini club... Drinks are all local, mojitos only on vodka, Baileys, whiskey is quite tolerable, but again I compare with Asteria, which is also Ultra, the drinks were imported....: angel:
I rest the first week, I can say that it was quiet and calm, the contingent of vacationers, foreigners and a small percentage of Russians, but a week later it started....UKRAINE SPEAK !!! ! Some kind of tryndets, now I'm starting to understand the reviews that say about the "Cultural" behavior of citizens and women of Ukraine !! ! Utopia has turned into Crimea! incomprehensible queues for french fries and pasta in a restaurant, turning out plates of strawberries, yelling, screaming when you have to walk five steps to your beloved child, no better than yelling at the whole pool without lifting yourself from a sun lounger, yes, so turn around all....It's scary to watch how 10 pizzas are eaten like pancakes, washed down with vodka, and all this happens at 12 noon, and then a bag is hung up, take a table in the main restaurant for lunch, which is half an hour later ((((Or on the beach to watch a picture of how the sun loungers were empty when they started to feed at 12, and then onto a poor, crowded bus from the beach, in which the poor hungry sit, who, having dined on the beach, rush to the main restaurant.....
Gykane, drunkenness, yelling and the desire to snatch more everywhere, we have everything inclusive, topless sunbathing near the main pool, although there is a relaxation pool for these purposes....But these are not the disadvantages of the hotel, but of the people themselves... There are no complaints about the hotel I have in general, the territory is super!! ! Everything is blooming, fragrant, everything is bright, the hotel is surrounded by banana plantations, Antalya spruce and pine trees in the water park, very beautiful! The food is good, the cleaning is excellent, the friendly attitude towards vacationers, after a week the truth is wary.
Separately, I would like to say a huge thank you to the animators !! ! Great! Well done, especially the one and a half hour program with dances that they danced themselves, our animators, especially thanks to Katya and Anna - children's animators, the child really liked the mini disco. Although the mini club in Asteria is bigger and more thoughtful, with a toilet, a trampoline, as well as game consoles and plasma for watching cartoons. The Animation Program starts at 10 o'clock, with the dance of Utopia, the animators try to pull out both morning exercises and water polo, they invite you to play darts, bocha (on the beach, water park), games in the pool, water aerobics, step aerobics, games are accompanied at the end of the Utopia dance! Great! Disco every day until 3 am, it was a great fire show!!!!
Every evening in the lobby bar, a girl on the piano plays classical music, great and beautiful!
Of the shortcomings of Utopia of the main building, I can only write about the lack of sound insulation, and when the evening program begins in the amphitheater in the evening, which is perfectly audible even on the 6th floor, and classical music in the lobby bar at this time... you hear in the room from behind the door... You can hear everything that happens in the corridor and neighboring rooms. . .
I can’t say anything about accommodation in the villas, the steps didn’t bother us much, we often went to the beach on foot, and went down and up to the water park, and of course we were in May, while there was no sweltering heat. The water park is great for both kids and parents!
The beach of Utopia is small, the sea often storms, the entry into the sea is certainly not very comfortable, but there is a pier, I don’t know about cut legs and knees, neither I nor my 4-year-old child had.
I really liked the hammam, in Utopia itself, understanding the remoteness of the hotel, I didn’t go for $ 25 from the annex, but went for $ 40 at the hotel, the attendant was very good, I just felt renewed, but refused to impose a subsequent massage, my hands are rough... you are an uncle at the bath attendant, not a massage therapist.
Do not succumb to a divorce to go to the market for $ 10 (to the village of Mahmutlar - there is nothing there except junk and fruit) at the arch of Utopia, the final stop of buses that go to Alanya, it only costs $ 2 one way, and if you are not interested Turkish junk, but you want something more decent, I advise you to ask to stop and get off near Karifur (Alanium shopping center, open until 11 p. m. ), it is 3-storey, there is a good Turkish market, with oriental sweets, at a normal price, a good hotel for children's goods, bottles LCWAIKIKI, I bought a lot of things there for my child and husband, the prices are all in lira, but they also take them in dollars, the prices are an order of magnitude lower compared to Russia, the things are of high quality.
My husband went diving, with a child to the dolphinarium, there are no complaints about the annex, everything is clear and fast, only positive emotions from trips.
The return flight was in the evening, we were picked up from the hotel at 13.20, in principle, it was not even bad, we managed to go to the sea and have lunch, the flight was at 19.00. Naturally, they picked up more tourists along the way, but it was very flattering when they saw the bracelets on the arm of Utopia World 5 *, the tourists asked, well, how is it, they say the hotel is painfully beautiful in the evening!
In general, the impressions are only good, a wonderful start to summer! I want to come back to Utopia World 5*! I had a dream!
there will be questions write!
