We rested in Turkey at the Club Tropical beach hotel from October 03.2013 to October 10.2013. The trip was arranged in Vinnitsa at the Ukrviza Travel Agency. From the Agency, Olga Magalyas worked with us (charming, sympathetic, helpful). No claims with paperwork. No inconvenience with sending at Boryspil airport. There were no complications at the Antalya airport either. Met by representatives of the Travel Agency "ANEX TOUR". We were taken to the hotel in a minivan. The hotel without delay settled in a room with a beautiful view of the patio with a swimming pool. The room is standard, with all amenities (loggia, shower, toilet, air conditioning, TV, refrigerator, hot water). The room was cleaned every day. The territory of the hotel is compact, well-groomed. Near the reception there is a small shop with the most necessary things. Lots of variety of greenery and flowers. For children, a playground with a small zoo (geese, ducks, peacocks, rabbits).
Under a canopy there are tables for playing table tennis. There is an archery area, and darts competitions are regularly held near the pool. Three swimming pools (a small shallow children's pool, a large rectangular deep open one and a large deep winding among the palm trees with a bridge, open). There are sun loungers and benches around the pools. In the morning, caretakers lay out mattresses on sunbeds. Large towels are issued at the reception for a $10 deposit. The hotel complex consists of four three- and four-storey buildings. The hotel is located on the shores of its own sandy beach (sometimes small pebbles, but it's even nice, a kind of foot massage). The entrance to the water is gentle, ten meters from the shore the bottom is flat and rocky, so you need to step carefully. The water is purest. There is a pier from which you can go down the stairs into the water. There are enough sunbeds on the beach. Eating on the open terrace near the shore (stunned! ).
The terrace adjoins the beach - ate and immediately on the sunbed. Food for non-gourmets is good with a plus. Meat, vegetables, fruits, sweets, drinks (any coffee, tea, juices). There are two bars (one on the terrace, the other in the center of the hotel, near the pool). The bar has red and white, local spills, wine, Turkish vodka (normal, soft), whiskey, beer, juices, coffee. With no restrictions. The staff is unobtrusive, pleasant, responsive. Several excursions are offered (price can be negotiated).

We traveled along the route: the Church of St. Nicholas the Pleasant, where you can buy certified icons (at least $ 15 each), walk around the half-preserved Church of St. Nicholas, then a yacht trip to the sunken city (with a stop for those who want to swim - on the border of the Aegean and Mediterranean seas ), then the city of Mira, with a visit to the rock tombs and an almost preserved amphitheater, and at the end of the trip - a tasting of excellent fruit wines (this is halfway between Antalya and the hotel). We left the hotel at 4 am and returned at 9 pm. We were fed along the way. We traveled in a modern comfortable bus. The road is a little tiring, but the impressions were very pleasant. At the same time, we were accompanied by, well, just a wonderful guide (Albert)! We also visited the concert of the world-famous dance group "Fires of Anatolia" (available on youtube).
Concerts are held in a specially built huge amphitheater, in the open air. Super! Everyone must be! Next trip to the bath. Being in Turkey and not visiting a Turkish bath is nonsense. Therefore, they were tempted. I do not advise anyone! Because of the sweatshop service system. All at the speed of light. Feelings are negative! So, the pros of visiting the hotel: beach, territory, food, service are good with a plus. Why not five: the beach was not cleaned (at least with us), although it is clean not where they sweep, but where they do not litter; a bit tired staff; the air conditioner in the room was controlled according to some incomprehensible laws (at least not from the remote control); a TV set with five programs (two Russian with serials and with Malakhov), therefore (in the absence of any Russian-language press) there is almost no information about what is happening in the world; besides, problems with WI-FI. Summary: a great place for a relaxing holiday! I advise everyone!
Yes, about the weather. At this time of the year: sea +22 - +24, air +26 - +28. Clear, windless, warm! Many thanks to all the hotel staff!
