С детьми в Wow Topkapi Palace 5* With children in Wow Topkapi Palace 5*

Last Friday we returned from Antalya, where we traveled with two children 5 and 6 years old. This time we decided not to save on the hotel and took Wow Topkapi Palace 5 * (Anex shop, early booking, 14 days). My main task was to provide a good rest for the children. I chose a hotel for a long time, probably, the manager exhausted everything, but as a result, they picked up exactly what I needed. We took off from Moscow without delay, the flight also went well. I was impressed that at the airport they took bags with things from us and carried them to the very room, despite the fact that dad was with us, who, in principle, could handle all the luggage. I liked it very much. The bus was excellent, the guide was talking all the way, my boys fell asleep under his purr. We arrived at the hotel for 20 minutes, a nice girl came out to meet us. We were taken to a room on the fifth floor. The view from the window opened up as needed, I stood and enjoyed the spectacle for about five minutes, until the children called me. The room is bright and spacious, we liked it. As soon as we had time to change clothes and catch our breath from the road, we were called to a restaurant. Lunch was amazing. Usually my children do not eat anything, but only throw food, and here they screwed up on both cheeks. The menu is very rich with many hot meat and fish dishes, puree soups, real Italian spaghetti, baked vegetables, mountains of fruits, oriental sweets. I have never tasted such delight in my life. What they sell in our pure water stores is a lie)) As I found out, real Turkish delight does not need to be chewed, it melts in your mouth)). I was satisfied with the food at the hotel, especially that the children liked it.
There are a lot of kids in the hotel. For them there are several pools, for the smallest ones there is a small paddling pool. Organized a kids club, my boys could hang around for hours in it. Animators know how to work with children, it is felt that they treat them with soul.
The hotel is a real sultan's palace with huge halls and an oriental-style area, I did not feel sorry for the money we paid for tours. The beach is sandy with small pebbles, very young children floundered in it amusingly)) There are many sunbeds with soft mattresses, they are all under a canopy, there are also hammocks in the shade. The best place for a family vacation is probably not worth looking for. Due to the fact that children have something to do, parents have the opportunity to take a break from them. my husband and I even allowed ourselves to drink a bottle of beer in the evening on the balcony, and in the afternoon to swim separately from the children.

We did not take excursions, because we had small children with us. My husband, at a meeting with the hotel guide, immediately said that we should not be offered anything, we would not go anywhere with the children, because one was motion sick, and the other could not sit still for five minutes. We were treated with understanding, as it seemed to me, they were no longer suitable for excursions. When it was time to leave, we were well received. In general, I am satisfied with the trip, except that vacation with children is a very dubious vacation))
