10 дней в раю 10 days in paradise

Just 3 days ago, my wife and I arrived from Antalya. I still think about my time there. I remember what I was doing there at that time of day, what my favorite bars I went to.

It all started the way many people describe it. We flew on a direct flight from Volgograd. The flight went well, although they flew on a Yak-42 bucket. At a foreign airport, it was probably the oldest and most rusty aircraft. At the Antalya airport, of course, we bought alcohol from Aunt FRI; )) Right in the Pegasus bus and uncorked a couple of bottles, we started celebrating the first flight to another country. Smiling guide Anya, spoke quite extensively about Turkey. At the same time advising in every possible way - how, where and what to do. At the same time, she constantly conducted a mini tour, talking about the places that we pass.

Upon arrival at the hotel, we immediately realized that this is clearly not 5 *. It was enough to look at the reception. Of course we were settled in the old room 1132.

I wanted to open the door first, but my wife was ahead of me. Upon entering the dark room, located on the ground floor, we were greeted by a musty smell. All the furniture is very old, there is no balcony, and in fact, the terrace is another entrance, only from the street. With the words "I will not live here, " Dasha dragged me out of the room. Returning to the reception, I tried to find a common language with the staff, using portraits of American presidents for a general readiness for conversation. Didn't have any effect. The Russian girl Olya tried to help us in every possible way, persuaded the Turk. Zero reaction.

The maximum they promised us was to move in 3 days. It was then that the Wife had a tantrum, she burst into tears right at the reception. Apparently, this played a key role, then, as if returning with nothing, we took out the Red Label and began to take a sedative. Literally 10 minutes later we were given a good number (8305) in the new block.
From that moment on, our troubles ended once and for all. Everything else was just great! Disco bar, swimming pools, animation - just annealing! In the dining room, they simply ate all sorts of goodies, I’ll generally keep silent about cakes, because salivation begins when they are remembered.

In 10 days, we did not have enough time to visit all the free activities that the hotel offered. Being fans of tennis, they could not get on the court even once. Didn't visit the sauna, didn't hit the bowling alley. There was a catastrophic lack of time, although there were only 2 excursions. It was rafting and a day trip on a yacht. each cost us 15 bucks. On them we received a lot of positive emotions, and on rafting we also got an adrenaline rush and a wagon of vivacity! Excursions bought outside the hotel. 3 times went to Alanya.

They swam in the sea from the pier, because the entrance to the sea is rocky. For all the time, clouds were seen only once.
The air temperature was about + 38 "C, which was not felt at all, the sea was + 28" C. The vacation went great. The staff is friendly, polite and smiling. The whole atmosphere of the hotel is very warm. Russian cattle appeared only towards the end of our stay, on the 25th. Prior to this, all vacationers behaved like a big huge family - Russians, Germans, Turks.

I do not regret the money spent at all, for them I got an awesome vacation! The only thing is that Pegasus needs to be honest and not sell this hotel as 5 *, but as official 3 * +.

Tips for future travelers:
1. Try not to take numbers starting with 1.2, 3.4, 5 - these are old blocks. Although some of them overlook the pool.

2. Buy excursions outside the hotel, $10-20 cheaper. Although you can contact Yasha on the pier. It's also not expensive.
3. Bargain anywhere and everywhere - this is Turkish folk fun!
4. Go to a wild beach. It is behind the rocks. You can get to it by walking 2 km towards Alanya.
This is truly a heavenly place! You will not regret. There is even a small cave!
5. Try to smile and not get carried away by little things that can ruin your vacation.
SUMMARY: The hotel is worth the money. mega party, mega fun! Very big.
