Today we returned from Turkey to Ukraine, rested for 10 days.
The hotel experience is a great choice for holidays with and without children.
Ratings:
1. the sea (blue flag) and the beach - I’ll say right away that there are pebbles on the shore, which no one really likes, but here’s the sea - it was clear and warm in October, it was 27 degrees, it was gentle and calm - we even forgot to think about stones, especially since there is a pier and you can swim. The bottom is sandy, flat.
Coast - deck chairs, awnings, as usual. In addition - a bungalow for the whole family. The hotel is large and there are many of these bungalows. When we rested, there were no questions about finding a convenient location.
On the beach bar - apples and juices at hand. Near the beach there is a bar with drinks and a light lunch for those who are lazy to go to a large restaurant. Rating: very good and only because of the pebbles.

2. pools and slides - quite a lot. Rating: excellent, we did not feel cramped in the water. 3 swimming pools for adults. 2 for kids, I think 5 slides for older kids and adults. 3 or 4 slides for children in children's pools.
3. Animation and shows - constantly games and contests, everything is fun and very unobtrusive, in a human way. Gifts for participation - caps, bags, t-shirts, etc. with the symbols of the hotel were added to each competition of enthusiasm. Benjamin is the animation team leader. I was amazed at his talent at the fakir show. In just 10 days, we did not see any repetitions of the program: there were Georgian dances, there was a circus, there were children dancers, there were adult dancers, there were humorous shows, etc. In general, the impressions are excellent.
4. The territory is almost a real botanical garden. Cacti grow higher than our apple trees, and palm trees up to 4 floors. Flowers and plants from all over the world - Africa, America, Japan. In the evening, the hotel parks are beautifully illuminated.
There are shops with clothes, things for children, souvenirs. To the market (many shops) 10 minutes walk from the hotel.
Rating: Excellent.
5. staff: polite, cleaned cleanly, brought drinks quickly, about 150 people work in housekeeping, about 120 people in the kitchen (according to the hotel itself). Minus: we were not woken up before leaving even though it was requested. Rating: very good, because they helped when needed and served unobtrusively. They told everyone to kiss and joke with their son - after all, the staff in Turkey loves children. Separately, I would like to positively note from the staff of the amusement park - a man-train - just a mega-test for the approach to work, the children rode the train 5 times in the evening!
6. numbers: there are different. See for yourself - do you want windows to the botanical garden or the sea. Everything is subjective of course - my assessment is excellent for a hotel that is about 20 years old - I did not feel this age. The room was discreet in the rest, the neighbors did not bother, and the view of the sunset was just amazing.
7. Entertainment and activity:
a. table tennis,
b. tennis,
in. swimming pools (not heated)

g. sauna - dry - two, wet (mint), Turkish of course.
d. amusement park - a viewing wheel, a boat (which is a big swing), cars, a children's carousel, a mega-engine, an inflatable slide - small, a small carousel (manual),
e. playground - tree and swings in the mini-club area, g. mini club for kids
h. playground near the restaurant,
and. water slides, which I wrote about above.
k. animation: boccia, shooting from the air, game - polo, football, volleyball, darts, a bunch of other games, aqua aerobics.
l. mini disco for kids
m. evening show program every day,
n. in the evening movies and cartoons on the big screen after dinner.
Rated excellent+
8. Nutrition:
I love to eat and I was satisfied with the food there. I even broke a tooth - I tried so hard on a delicious chicken on a spit. Bars and restaurants on the territory, taking into account the specifics - the cuisine is still Turkish - excellent. Restaurant fruits: apples, plums, bananas (small), pears, watermelons, melons, oranges, grapefruits.
There seem to be 5 or 6 a la carte restaurants - but we didn't want to go, laziness you know. The people praised. Rating: excellent.
9. Trips: free for residents by hotel bus in Side, Manavgat, Alanya. This will be enough for Turkish shopping. This was more than enough. Fine.
In general, there was a very good impression. Families with children (especially with small ones) definitely recommend to go. I will be glad if my review is useful to you.
