Маленький уютный семейный тихий отель. Small cozy family run quiet hotel.

We rested at the beginning of July. We flew to Antalya at 18:00, went through passport control for an hour, got luggage, and then drove for 3 hours and took everyone to the hotels. It's sooooo tedious. For the future, I'd rather skip the shared transfer and pay for a taxi. $40-70 (everyone says differently) it will save you 2 hours! In short, we arrived at 22:30. It was Sunday. There was a Turkish market on the territory of the hotel. I didn't understand well because I was tired. They sold perfumes, paintings, things and spices. (Looking ahead, I’ll say: you’ll be there next weekend, take the spices there. As it turned out, it’s not only cheaper, but also better. Exactly a week later, the saleswoman brewed sultan tea, treated me, who caught a cold under the air conditioner, and the toad strangled me and I thought we'd buy it in a store in the Time Center. We bought it, damn it. It's 10 times more expensive!
We were late for dinner. Dinner until 21:00. We arrived at 22:30. There is "night soup". Turkish people call cream soup soup. Not everyone loves this. I love. Especially tomato, which they often cooked. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate, drinking water available around the clock in the restaurant.
Back to the description of the hotel. We walked through the territory, the Sunday Bazaar was located between the pools. There are three of them. The large pool seemed so tiny to me, and the small ones looked like puddles at night))) In short,

The first impression is shock. We ended up in the wrong hotel, which looked on the Internet. We ran, compared and realized that that hotel was in Side. And this one is in Konakli. They messed up horribly. We had a family room booked. There was some kind of voucher "compliment from the hotel for a late check-in". Nobody told us anything about him. What a compliment, no one knew)) Our family room, unexpectedly for the administrators themselves, was busy. They discussed something, called us and, asking for forgiveness, offered two rooms next to each other. To say that I was upset is to say nothing. We came with children. Boys aged 14 and 6. They gave us 2612 and 2611 numbers. 12 is smaller, at 11 there was also a cot. He was really good. The rooms are clean. The bed is fresh, no stains, the mattresses are hard, new. Good ones. Wooden cabinets. No frills)) TVs are simple, telephones and safes in the room (we never used them). Refrigerator with 1.5 l. a bottle of water upon check-in (then fill it in the cooler in the restaurant at any time). The bathroom is the same here and there. A flush toilet, like all toilets in Turkey (for some reason, no one writes about this). A separate toilet towel is placed directly on it. The shower is very simple - fenced off from the entire space of the bathroom with a partition. Liquid soap for hands in the dispenser above the sink, shower gel in the same dispenser in the shower itself. The water is hot and cold. Mixers worked. A set of towels of three each, plus one on the toilet, one on the floor in the shower. There are no complaints.
On the second day, we realized that even if our family room is free, we do not want it : )) We got the same family room, but larger and with two bathrooms. It is very convenient.
In the morning we woke up and saw that our room overlooks the sea!! ! and a nearby hotel. To their pool and restaurant. Envy the water park. It would be necessary for Larisa to add this; )
Breakfast at the hotel from 7 am to 10 am. Everything is always fresh for breakfast. During our 10 days there were: vegetables, fruits, casseroles, quick breakfasts (such as Nesquik), muesli, sweet and not sweet yogurts, jams, chocolate (such as Nutella), milk, pancakes, various cheeses (say, why are they so salty?
From 10 to "until everyone eats" until about 13 hours, there is a "snack on the beach". They gave pizza, tortillas, french fries, hamburger sets (bun, semi-finished cutlet, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, several types of greens, cheese, pick what you want and make your own hamburger). There is always a queue behind this. Straight crowd. Closer to 12 it resolves, but the pizza may not be enough. She's delicious. And also such twisted cakes as a snail inside a tra'va (I don’t understand which ones ((). Very tasty.
Dinner.
Lunch from 12:00 to 15:00
There was a lot for lunch. I haven't tried everything. It should be noted that everyone is freaking out that there is no meat. Do not forget, for you, meat is basically pork, beef. Turkey is 98% Muslim country. You won't find pork here. Their beef is very expensive, like the rest of the meat, so the main product for hot is chicken. We were given it in abundance both fried and stewed, and every day there were various dishes with offal (liver, heart, stomachs). It's not for everybody, for example, I love it. Side dishes: potatoes (fries, mashed potatoes, home-style, stewed), spaghetti, rice (steamed, with vegetables and pilaf), chickpeas, couscous.

fresh and pickled vegetables, a variety of greens and fruits: apricots, plums, apples, oranges, grapes, cherries, watermelons, melons, grapefruit. Ours, like crazy, gained kilograms of apricots and then left it all on the table, unable to eat.
Dinner
Dinner from 19:00 to 21:00
For dinner, almost every evening there was a "performance" with cooking over an open fire. They prepared semi-finished products that I personally could not eat, as well as delicious chicken meat with mushrooms, shawarma, tortillas and grilled vegetables.
The restaurant itself also always had vegetables and side dishes. For dinner there were always a lot of different cakes and jams.
At 23:30 night soup. We never ate it. It's too late)))
On the night of departure, wandered into the restaurant at 3 am. The guard seemed even delighted in Russian, he did not speak Russian, he called for him with signs. and showed me what to eat. There were tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, bread. Tea, coffee, chocolate (different coffee and cocoa drinks in the machine), water are always available, at any time of the day or night.
The bar was open from 10 am to 10 pm. On the night when we played with the Croats, the bar was open as usual until 22, but after the second goal it was opened again, thanks guys! : )

Now about the sea. . .

The beach is big. Clean. Lots of loungers. There are broken ones and whole ones. In principle, there are always enough of them. Just remove the sunbathing towel aside for a long time (do it on the beach, by the pool) and don't worry about it. When the place is just brazenly staked out, it shows. and this must be stopped. Canopies with sun loungers from the sea in 50-70 meters. I really foolishly burned my feet on the sand until I ran to the sea without slippers. Don't repeat my mistake, wear shoes. The entrance to the sea is pebbly. Next is the sand. Swimming is not that hard... You just have to adapt)) When we first arrived, it seemed strange to me that people were crowding in one place. But it turns out that only exactly opposite the wooden path to the sea is a fifteen-meter bath cut into the rock. There are sharp rocks all around. On the first day, I hit hard and cut my knee. There are also biting fish. So seal all wounds with bf6 glue or just with a band-aid and do not stand still. Husband bitten twice. Not a pleasant enough feeling. At the reception, of course, they will tell you that for the first time they hear about it and no one has ever bitten anyone.
In short, by the end of the holiday, I realized that the most comfortable time for swimming: from 17:00. There are fewer people and not so hot.
There are three pools. Small for lyalek, the second with a depth of 1.20 with a slide and a large one with a depth of 1.6 to 1.8
Our youngest did not get out of the middle pool. Alive and healthy)) I would like more slides and a pool of sea water. Do it, huh?
Animation well done! Team Firat, Barysh, Irina and Natalia. There was also a dei club and evening discos. There was a foam party, Miss Larisa contest, Turkish night.
The kids were generally entertained in the evenings perfectly well. It’s harder with adults, but they were rocked by the end of our vacation.
Another recommendation for those who are just traveling. Do not be afraid to take wine on site in the shop. We bought twice the price in the time center, the same wine. Stupid. The store itself is good, everything you need is there. You can bargain well. Guzel and Melihu huge greetings!
We enjoyed the holiday very much. If the water park is updated, we will come again))
