Rested in hotels from 09.10. 2011 to 19.10. 2011 with wife and 2 year old child. We arrived at the hotel late at night because the plane could not land in Antalya due to a thunderstorm and we spent about 5 hours at the Bodrum airport waiting for favorable weather, eventually landed in Antalya at about 4:30 am (10.09. 2011 already) the hotels were about 5:00 settled for 5 minutes. The room went to the turret, when they went up to the room, the crib was already there. They settled in an improved Delux with a view of the main entrance, the tail of the Titanic and partly but the sea, although they booked Standard (Land View). They didn’t pay extra just for our arrival there were no other rooms, in principle we were not offended. In the morning they asked for a potty for the child and bathrobes for us: while we were having breakfast, everything was brought to the room. They also asked that they replenish the mini bar and clean it until 13:00, because during the day we have a child sleeping. Our request was fulfilled throughout the rest. Cleaned qualitatively and equally regardless of whether he left a tip or not. In the mini bar: 2 juices (0.2 ml), 2 beers (0.
33 ml), 2 mineral waters (0.33 ml each; good Borjomi type) 1 Nestea iced tea (0.33 ml), 2 Nestle light waters (0.5 ml each). Juices were also available from the kids club (juices are good, no sugar).
I liked the kids club, the territory is quite large (part of the territory is in the sun, part is in the shade due to trees), there are many swings, slides, etc. An interesting program for the day, something new every day. Even our 2-year-old doci was interested in going there from time to time. The children's disco is also interesting, but designed for older children, although our 2-year-old daughter jumped there, but sometimes she stood in a stupor because the movements were very fast. At the end of the mini-disco, Chupa-Chups and a balloon were handed out.
The room was large like everything in the turrets (there are no standards in the turrets, they are all just between the turrets) everything stated in the room was a mini-bar, a 22-inch LCD TV, a mini music center everything worked properly in the mini-bar you could make ice ( there was a special mold) there was also a safe, but we did not use it. The shower cubicle is large and comfortable, there are two shower clamps for a child and an adult, which is also very convenient. The balcony is large and deep (but this is also only in the turrets). The lighting is curious: there is no central lamp, but many small ones, in the end it is impossible to create the usual full lighting of the room, I personally liked it; the wife complained that it was impossible to put on makeup before dinner.
Noise from the Titanic did not interfere. Although it was somewhere before 23:30, then the disco moved either to the beach or to a closed room and the music was almost inaudible. But we take it easy.
Who cares, you can close the balcony (there will be no noise) and turn on the air conditioner (it works great; it blows into the center of the room, and not on the bed, so you can sleep peacefully and not worry about the child)
The territory is the main plus of the hotel, because it is really big and the hotel was built on the territory of the national park, and this park was practically not disturbed during the construction. On the territory of the hotel there are many interesting conifers (near the coniferous alley there is a unique coniferous aroma) and deciduous trees, both very high and low, there are also shrubs, palm trees and cacti. Despite the fact that we were in mid-October, there were quite a lot of flowers. Almost the entire territory of the hotel is the so-called Relax Zone - a grassy lawn interspersed with trees, shrubs where you can put a sun lounger under your favorite plant or just in the sun. There were always enough sun loungers, although the hotel was fully booked.
There are fields for mini football and a professional football field with lighting (at the end of October, football teams begin to arrive at the hotel for training camps). There are tennis courts, a darts field, a fitness area.
The beach is big. There was always enough space, even when, after 3 cloudy days, all the residents of the hotel rushed to the beach, there were enough sunbeds for everyone. Straw umbrellas, indeed, as they wrote earlier in the reviews, do not give much, but as for me, enough shade. If you rest in October, this is only a plus. Who loves the shade can be accommodated in the shade of the Relax Zone trees from there to the beach from 5 or more meters, depending on where you like. On the beach at the bar you could ask for nuts (salty assortment: almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, pistachios, soft dry peas. ) The sand, although ugly in color (as elsewhere in Turkey), is very soft. The water was always warm even during or after the storm.
The entrance to the sea is gentle (small pebbles, although it may have been sandy, and the sand was washed away on October 9 and 10 during a storm, I don’t presume to judge). Somewhere when he reached ¼ of the pier, he no longer stood, but swam somewhere to its middle and found a sandy bottom under him (as-
you can just the sand that was washed away from the shore) and so on until the end of the pier, the water is slightly higher than waist-high (it’s fun to catch waves on this chalk), further deeper. There were 2 volleyball courts on the beach.
The building is well thought out, there have never been any accumulations even in bad weather, neither near the bars, nor in the hall, nor in the lobby, nor in the closed pool. There are a lot of elevators, there are no queues, almost always they went by themselves. Everywhere is clean, neat and beautiful. Sofas, armchairs, chairs, bar counters are comfortable. Free wireless internet was best caught in the lobby (Skype went without problems), near the bar and in the dining room is rather bad.
The dining room is spacious with a large terrace (during the rain when the terrace was closed, the Silk Road restaurant was also used as the main one). There were no problems with the tables. Service is not great, but acceptable. Drinks including beer and wine are not diluted, as is the case in many other hotels. The wine was poured from white bottles, I liked it, I don’t like red, so I didn’t even try it. My wife says good things too. Also, raki, champagne (my wife liked it, I didn’t try it), cognac, rose wine, maybe something else were offered from alcohol in the dining room ...Fresh diluted with water in the morning somewhere 50/50. The food is generally good, a bit spicy in places.
So, a request to the chefs, less pepper and it will be great. You can always add pepper, but on the contrary it is problematic. But not spicy dishes were enough. Lots of sauces that can be added to dishes in addition. All are very tasty.
No fresh food was observed.
There were no problems with the child's nutrition.
For breakfast there were always: milk porridges, various yogurts to which you could add fresh or canned fruits or jam, pancakes to which you could add jam, nut or chocolate paste, boiled eggs (3 and 5 minutes), fried eggs, scrambled eggs with any filling to choose from, several types of ham, khachapuri with cheese or meat or potatoes, steamed and stewed vegetables, olives, black olives, various salads, musli, dried apricots, prunes, sausages, soup, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits and much more.
For lunch and dinner: 2 types of soup, children's soup, 2 types of pasta, potatoes either baked or mashed (very tasty by the way), french fries, khachapuri with cheese or with meat or potatoes, boiled chicken and fish, various salads, canned tuna , steamed and stewed vegetables, baked meat (either duck, or turkey, or lamb, or pork), (the sauce could be poured separately), baked fish (either salmon or dorado), grilled chicken, fish fillet with sauce or fried fish, either seafood or vegetables or chicken with mushrooms a la carte with cheese, or stew or lamb meatballs, various sweets, fresh vegetables, pickled vegetables, fresh fruits and much more.
Mussels, shrimp, colmar rings were but not every day.
Shawarma, sushi, Caesar salad, seafood salad, raw beef tartar - once a week.
to the experience of visiting "a la carte" restaurants in other hotels was frankly sad. And here is one word - Magnificent! ! ! The first hotel where after "a la carte" we didn't go to eat in the main restaurant. Special thanks to the chefs of this "a la carte" restaurant, as you cook it unforgettable. The atmosphere in the restaurant is appropriate: romantic and relaxing.
The animation was good, but there were only 3 times because on the other evenings my daughter went to bed before it started. We did not participate in daytime animation - there was no time, because we were resting with a small child. We only went to the kids club. I liked it there.
We didn’t swim in the open pools, the sea was enough. Visually, it looks good and is large enough. The water park is so-so. The yellow slide is not interesting (slow) and even the joints are felt strongly. The rainbow is also nothing special, although there are no joints. Closed - glue slide. Especially if you go on a double circle and sway .
In general, the water park is clearly not the strong point of the hotel. It has other benefits.
Hotel population: somewhere around 70% Germans (many of age), Belgians, Poles, French, Dutch, many wealthy Turkish population (especially on weekends). Russian-speaking no more than 15%. Advertised in previous reviews
no Iranians were seen.
The nearby river does not enter the territory of the hotel, it does not stink, although it looks dirty. In short, there are no inconveniences from her. Mosquitoes were in the evening (when the sun was setting) near the kids club, not many, but they bite hard. So take mosquito repellant. There was one mosquito in the room for ten 10 days. He bit me and fled in an unknown direction. There were no more mosquitoes anywhere.
In conclusion, I would like to thank the whole team of the Rixos Lares hotel for a wonderful and unforgettable stay, quick fulfillment of all requests, responsiveness, high-quality implementation of all the services declared and included in the hotel concept, as well as for a good attitude towards children.
I would be glad to visit the hotel again (of course, if the flag of Ukraine finally appears near the entrance (just kidding)). Although there is some truth in every joke, because Ukraine is the closest neighbor. Other hotels had a flag.
