Before traveling, I carefully study the latest reviews of tourists. I share my impressions of the holiday in May 2021. Hotel Concord pleased from the first minute: they offered a beautiful room overlooking the sea without any extra charge. Before the trip, the travel agent wrote to the hotel our “Wishlist”: a room with only a shower (there is also a bathtub) and two hotel beds. They offered a choice of the 2nd (in fact the fifth) and the 4th (consider the seventh) floors. Chose higher. The view from the room is excellent - the pools, the sea, the green park.
Close to the airport, no aircraft noise. Along the road full of shopping centers, supermarkets and bazaars. For lovers of coffee and other Turkish delicacies: Migros is located to the left of the hotel, walk for 5-7 minutes.
Concord has created an oasis in Lara: even the online map shows that it has the greenest area in the area. The building in the form of an airplane is surrounded by a well-groomed botanical garden: bamboo, oleanders, pines, tangerine and orange trees, pampas grass, a lot of flowering shrubs, roses. Moreover, the park was created not according to the ruler, but with artificial hills, in the style of the "new wave". The paths are marble, smooth, there are many benches for rest: take a walk - I don’t want to. Birds constantly chirping, lounge music during the day.

Well-thought-out trajectory of the guest's movement. From the room to the elevator, there are 5 of them, some of them are panoramic, overlooking the surroundings and the hall. From the elevator down to the restaurant, from the restaurant past the pools, bars, a la carte restaurants, pide and gosleme, you slowly reach the beach. On the territory there is a swimming pool with slides, for infants, a huge main and relaxation. There is a mini-club, courts, a field for mini-football and mini-golf. Amphitheater with a large stage and professional lighting; in the evening there was a mini-disco for the kids, short in quarantine.
The main pool is covered from the body by several rows of palm trees surrounded by bananas and comfortable benches. Under the palm trees, the sun loungers are staggered, “keeping a social distance”: two sun loungers + a table + an umbrella + a palm tree. No one has ever "captured" sunbeds - there were many more guests. We constantly migrated from one part to another, and there were dozens of empty places everywhere. The employee constantly corrects something, arranges, cleans the dishes. There are bars on both sides, the waiter will bring you both champagne and tea.
Special respect for the large relaxation pool 16+ with sun loungers and snow-white mattresses. There are three flowerbeds with palm trees in the center of the pool. From the main part you swim under the bridge into three mini-pools with a Jacuzzi. Lepota: the water boils, the birds sing, the shade from the tangerine trees and the blooming green-red-yellow living wall around. Feels like you are the only guests in the hotel.
The beach is wide enough, there is a zone 16+, a playground for children, a small kiosk-bar, a toilet. On the sides of the diving center and water activities: boats, bananas, parasailing. In the center, a wooden path leads to a large pier. Half of the pier is a canopy with mattresses. Half - sun loungers under umbrellas. There is a shower and two comfortable non-slip stairs.
The beach itself is natural sandy, clean, walking barefoot is pleasant. Entry into the sea is relatively easy: there is a small drop washed by the waves, but the kids are still not afraid. The depth starts about seven meters from the shore. On the shore there are several cabins for an additional fee and stationary shade canopies.

The room was spotlessly clean, sheets and towels changed daily. Very comfortable mattresses - you really relax during the night, your back does not hurt. Pillow menu. We weren't going to ask for anything, but the maids noticed that I was putting a decorative pillow on myself and brought an orthopedic one as an extra.
Issue two key cards to the room. The room is spacious, comfortable, with a large balcony, panoramic windows. The safe is free in the closet. The closet is spacious with shelves, chest of drawers and hangers. There are bathrobes. Slippers accidentally torn - immediately replaced. A set of cosmetics + toothbrushes and paste + a razor and shaving foam, a comb, a nail file and other little things, up to matches on the balcony. Fan is weak. There is a rain shower.
The minibar was replenished daily by a dedicated staff member. On the table 1.5 liters. water. In the refrigerator there are 3 small packs of juice, 2 beers, 4 cans of sweet soda, 2 bottles of still water, 2 bottles of mineral water, waffles, straws, chips.
Anticovid. In the context of a pandemic in the room, an additional set with an antiseptic, masks and napkins. Throughout the building, at bars, in toilets, automatic antiseptics and stands with masks. All employees are exclusively in masks - not on the chin, but as expected. Waiters in gloves and transparent protective shields.
Spa. The girl invited for a massage, but we refused. Outwardly, it looks very presentable, I liked the mosaic lined with stones in the spa lobby - there are similar mosaics in Topkapi. There is a gym with exercise equipment, exercises on the grass in the morning, and intensive aqua aerobics at 11. In the mornings, several guests ran in the park.

Nutrition. Who is on a diet - it's better not to go, just break. From morning to evening in the restaurant snacks, several types of meat and fish, fruits, sweet watermelons and melons, ice cream in packs and dondurma at dinner. Several types of baklava, halva, cheeses. On Ramadan Bairam, sweets were traditionally distributed, in the evening they arranged a real feast for the guests. On the Asian night they had sushi, on the Mexican night they cooked a bunch of different meats. An aunt with a gozleme sits in a restaurant in the morning, at 12 - in a special tent near the beach. We did not take pitas, pizzas and bagels, but the people ate with pleasure. They simply didn’t get to the confectionery, they didn’t sign up for a la carte. Drinks are brought by the waiters, around the main pool the guy rushes in circles and offers champagne right in the morning. On the beach, waiters brought sliced ​ ​ fruits and other food to the booths.
We dined outdoors, at the food court: in the center on four sides there is a bar and food stands, wicker furniture around the perimeter in the shade. Breakfasts and dinners - in the main building. Bars are open throughout the day. In the evening, at the reception level around the perimeter of the entire building, people relax on the view terrace: low soft sofas and chairs with pillows, delicious adult drinks and pleasant music.
Little things are remembered: already on the second day for breakfast, the waitress brought us juice, coffee and whipped milk without asking, just remembering the previous order. At lunch, I simply asked if there was hummus, and two minutes later they personally brought it to me from the main restaurant, it even became uncomfortable.
Once I woke up from the loud chirping of birds - they were afraid of the fog. There was such a thick and dense fog that absolutely nothing could be seen from the balcony, only the railing and white haze around. Gradually, with dawn, the fog dissipated, balconies, terraces, palm trees, buildings, the sea and mountains in the distance appeared. A wonderful Mediterranean story.
Concorde for me is associated with a carefree vacation: everything is provided, thought out, prepared. Tourists do not think about anything - they just relax. If you need a relaxing holiday near a sandy beach, 15 minutes from Antalya Airport, in a respectable hotel with swimming pools, excellent food, impeccable service - you are in Concorde.
It's hard to say how the hotel works with 100% occupancy, full animation and disco. Something tells - copes. At least there will definitely be enough tables and sun loungers for everyone. Every morning, managers check the territory, technical staff instantly change light bulbs, plant trees, wash paths and toilets. I noticed that the staff is trying to move along the roundabout paths so as not to catch the eye of the guests.

I don't know if I will ever be able to come here again - we just got lucky with the price. But this is a hotel that is remembered for exceptionally pleasant impressions.
