Cristal Paraiso Verde Resort 5 * is the last hotel on the Antalya-Belek-Bogazkent road from the airport, therefore the transfer takes 2 hours, due to the transportation of tourists to other hotels.
Eight 5-storey buildings are a 12-minute walk to the beach, but from 9:00 - 18:00 a small tractor runs every 10 minutes, bringing tourists 1 minute to the beach. Lots of sun loungers, free of charge, always enough. On the beach: cabanas, toilet, bar with water, beer, juices; after 12 o'clock - tortillas, hamburgers, pizza, salads, some hot snacks. After 13:00 - ice cream.
It is unpleasant that with a huge number of children, many tourists smoke and here they throw cigarette butts at the sun loungers.

The beach and swimming area is fenced with ropes with floats protruding into the sea at 30-35 m. Although the clearest water is further. But it is dangerous to swim further, because. 3-4 people, riding tourists on "bananas" and "parachutes", rush by on their boats, touching the rope and constantly honking, raising waves and gasoline stench. No security! Effectively dropping a tourist from a "banana", you can break his limbs or injure his spine. In the event of a rope break on the “parachute” or an unexpected gust of wind, a tourist hovering above the water can still survive. And flying over land or deck chairs = no! There is no insurance contract: handing over your life to “morons” for $50 is your choice!
Many swear because of the waves, stench and signals they create, but the hotel administration does not want to “move” the boats 100 meters from the rope.
It's a shame that the efforts of the caring, friendly staff of the hotel, designed for 2 thousand. tourists are crushed by these people.
The Cristal Paraiso Verde 5 * hotel is designed for families with children from 1 month to 12-15 years old, for them there is a large number of slides, waterfalls, shallow pools, swings. They are located both on the beach and on the large green area of ​ ​ the hotel. Everywhere special slopes for strollers. In the evening: bowling, billiards, trampoline (5 minutes = 4 Euro), various slot machines.
Because children run, scream, cry everywhere and always, all 24 hours a day, the administration wisely allocated a quiet place at the end of the hotel with a swimming pool for tourists over 16 years old without children.
The food is normal. Freshly squeezed juice in the morning = $2. Their fruits are only apples, pears, watermelons - a variety of unsweetened. Oranges and large plums were taken out 2 times completely in the mold.
There are 4 restaurants. Once, one restaurant can visit for free. The rest - $ 10 per person.
The territory is large, clean, well-groomed. The rooms have a refrigerator (with drinks) and a safe = free of charge. Rooms are cleaned and towels are changed daily.
