Hello!
We rested in Topkapi the last week of summer (husband, children 3 and 8 years old and me). Initially, this hotel aroused conflicting feelings in me (last year's vacation at the Blue Waters Club affected). But when I realized that this was not a club hotel, everything immediately fell into place. . .
Looking ahead, I will say that our vacation was a success!!!
Now I'll start from the beginning.
We arrived in Antalya at 13.30 (by the way, there were no delays with the plane). After reading the previous reviews about Anex, it was really scary to sit at the airport or on the plane, but, fortunately, this did not happen (on the way back we flew 10 minutes earlier and arrived half an hour earlier than the indicated time).
Upon arrival, we were shown our bus - it turned out to be a 6-seater minibus with air conditioning, which in just 15-20 minutes drove us to Topkapi.
Being already at the hotel at 14.10, we were placed literally in 10 minutes. The porter led us to the 4th building, we quickly changed and ran to cool off in the pool. After half an hour we decided to go in search of dinner. As it turned out, it was not necessary to go far - the Sultan's kitchen was located nearby (in the evening it is also a free Turkish restaurant a la carte). There we eat pide, Turkish pizza and Turkish flatbread. Delicious! There you could also take rice with meatballs. Works from 12.30 to 16.00.
The main restaurant is open from 7 am and (with short breaks) until 5 am (at night the choice is small, but you can intercept a couple of sandwiches + vegetables and fruits). The quality and variety of food. . . same as in the previous 2 hotels where we rested before. The costs are always the same: sausage, cheese, feta cheese, yoghurts (my favorite! ), pancakes, omelettes, sausages, etc.
Lunches and dinners are also always approximately the same type, with the exception of the main course (it is different every day). There was even a grilled salmon once. The only thing that really bothered me was the constant queues for meat dishes!
And fruits - not very much (although, perhaps, we are spoiled by our abundance of fruits - we live in the south of Ukraine).
Snack bar on the beach is open from 12.00 to 16.00. They make french fries and burgers (pretty good, but apparently lamb).
Sultan's tent from 11 to 17. Turkish cakes are cooked there.
Near the relaxation pool there is a bar where there is ice cream and cakes (I don’t remember the opening hours).
There is NO freshly squeezed juice in the Vitamin Bar (near the indoor pool)!
So during the day there is always a place to eat.
As for the a la carte restaurants. Turkish and Mediterranean restaurants are free. Italian, International and Barbecue restaurants - paid. 5 euros per person. Children under 6 years old are free, children from 6 to 12 years old - 2.5 euros.
We went to the nearby Kremlin in Mexican a la carte. Then they paid 12.5 euros for it... It was delicious!
I would like to write about the Internet in the hotel. Internet cafe (located in Igroland) - free, but there is a corresponding speed. One page takes 10 minutes to load. So if it is possible to take a laptop, then it is better to take it and go to the reception. There speed is good. In any case, you can talk on Skype. You can connect the Internet in the room (7 euros per day). Personally, I think it's very expensive!
The drinks. During the day at the pool bar you can take tea-coffee, soft drinks, beer and gin and tonic. Anything stronger - only after 19.00.
I want to pay attention to the Sofa-bar (second floor in the lobby). There's live music every other day and very good Margarita and Mojito cocktails.
A separate point of my review - ANIMATION! If you want to relax in peace - then you do not need to go here... I counted 25 animators. They definitely won't let you get bored! One Uno is worth something!! ! Our girls Julia and Vera are also great!
The mini club disappointed me at first (mainly because of last year's Blue Waters). But, once again, I did not make an allowance for the fact that the hotel is not a club, and therefore the difference in mini-clubs. Although the animation guys from Puggi (mini-club) are also very smart!
I also want to talk about the number. We took the Standard, we were settled in the Corner (it is larger, but without a balcony - there is nowhere to dry the swimsuit). Everything is neat, the furniture is certainly not the first freshness, but tolerable - nothing fell off. Safe is free. Bathroom, shower, washbasin, toilet - everything worked and did not leak anywhere. Their shampoo - no! It's better to take your own... By the way, for those who like to dry their hair with a hairdryer, it's better to take a hairdryer with you. The one that was there needs to dry for half an hour...
The territory of the hotel is quite large, and if you add the territory of the neighboring Kremlin to it, it turns out to be huge! A big plus is the general infrastructure of Topkapi and the Kremlin, with the exception of free a la carte restaurants.
Slides in both hotels - bomb! After them, I won’t want any water park for a long time... Minus - they work 4 hours a day (10-12 and 14-16). Stand-alone: slide-"toilet" from 10-12, slide-pipe from 14-16.
There is also a pool with artificial waves - it is open in the afternoon 2 times for half an hour.
As for the beach, it is difficult for me to form an objective opinion (were there 1 time due to the fact that we ourselves live by the sea). In my opinion, the entrance to the sea is good, there are inflatable toys near the shore, on which you can climb out and then jump or slide into the sea.
It seems that everything I wanted to write - I wrote. If you have any questions - ask... I'll be happy to answer!
Conclusion: everywhere there are + and -, but in general I liked the rest! The only pity is that there was not enough time for everything that I wanted...
