We stayed at the hotel in June 2017. We arrived at the hotel at 12, settled at about 2. We were allowed to leave the suitcases at the reception and sent for lunch. Our room was large enough, on the 4th floor, overlooking the hotel pool. Air conditioning works great, there is a TV with 2-3 Russian channels. Soap is given once, be prepared for this, because. a lot of people were unhappy with this, I don’t consider this a minus, but everyone has their own preferences. Towels are changed every day, the room is always cleaned at lunchtime, also daily. The hotel is located in the city, so there is a bus to the sea. For us, the walks were not stressful, so we never went, but always went to the sea on foot. It takes exactly 20 minutes to walk to the most beautiful beach in Turkey (Cleopatra Beach) at a slow pace. I don't know where the beach of this particular hotel is located, but Cleopatra's beach is very long and beautiful. Sunbeds and umbrellas are paid (4 lira or $ 1). We lay on towels near the water itself, the beach is very clean, like the sea.
The food is quite varied, a lot of vegetables (stewed, fried, fresh). Salads are varied, many types of cheeses for breakfast, different types of olives and black olives. Lots of fruits (watermelon, melon, cherry, peaches, nectarines, apricots, a couple of times there were grapes). Large selection of muesli. Every breakfast fried eggs, scrambled eggs, delicious pancakes. Meat is not much, there was always one thing (either chicken or beef). The fish was once - river trout. There are almost no sweets. Turkish pastry is very different from Russian, it already suits everyone's taste. Various drinks: juices, beer, three types of wine (white, red, rose), whiskey and cola, iced tea, Schweppes, coffee, tea, different cocktails (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) are made at the bar. There is also a separate menu, but paid. Twice a day they give very tasty ice cream, before lunch there is a snack in the form of snacks (hamburgers or deep-fried chicken).
Animation in the hotel is minimal, children will be bored. For young people there is an opportunity to go to a club with an animator girl, please agree in advance. If during the rest you are a birthday boy, then at the bar talk about others and in the evening you will find a cake and champagne. The hotel staff is polite, they do not speak Russian, but they understand English well. Free Wifi throughout the hotel, best catches early in the morning or late in the evening. The hotel has billiards and a hammam (all for a fee).

Our guide was Ruslan. Be careful, he knows how to speak beautifully, but in reality you get not at all what you expected. We drove a Jeep Safari, we recommend! We bought a ticket from Ruslan for $60 per person, I advise you to walk around the city and find a roller shutter with excursions, I'm sure that it will be the same there, but a little cheaper. This is a trip to the mountains for almost the whole day. Get an unforgettable experience of adrenaline and laughter. Girls, be sure to braid your hair, the hair will quickly get tangled at speed, also be prepared that you will arrive dusty and dirty, but happy. Also bought from Ruslan for $ 30 a trip to the Turkish bath hammam. Were disappointed. It's not worth that kind of money. You will walk in single file one after another through different rooms and all for 15 minutes, this is not enough and much is so hackneyed that it is unpleasant to sit down. The only thing that was done from the heart was the massage and peeling. I advise you to find another hamam and go, understand what it is. Ruslan also advised not to buy Turkish delight, because. on the way back home, the bus stops at the market, where there is a huge selection. We are very glad that we did not listen to him and bought everything before we left. in this market, prices are 2-3 times higher, although yes, the choice there is gorgeous. Also, do not buy anything on the way to the sea, the prices there are also for tourists, I advise you to get to the city center. The route is very simple: get out of the hotel and go towards the sea, as soon as you exit the traffic light, bus number 202 runs on this street, get on it and eat min 7-10, on the left side there will be a huge three-story shopping center "Alanium", as soon as it passed, get off at the bus stop. This center has a supermarket, clothing stores, and a huge selection of Turkish delight. We bought Turkish delight there. Many sellers know Russian and, seeing your interest, they give every Turkish delight a try. For the price, one big box costs about $ 15, we did not find cheaper, but everything is fresh and very tasty. There are also a lot of different halva, tea, marshmallows... in general, it is better to buy gifts in Alanium. If you need shops with clothes, then exit Alanium and there will be several more shopping centers in the direction of the hotel. In general, everything is done in the hotel for a good time and a wonderful holiday.
