Вполне хороший отель Quite good hotel

Just returned from this hotel with a six-year-old daughter (we have a rest in Turkey every year). For the Belek region, it is not quite typical in the sense that it is not as chic as, for example, Papillon or Gloria Verde, surrounded by pine groves, with their endless golf courses. More democratic and economical "Crystal Paraiso" is the last in a row of hotels in the town of Bogazkent. Being extreme has both pluses and minuses.
So, our first impression was completely spoiled by the view from the window - on a wasteland with garbage and clogged piles of the future hotel. Other rooms either overlook the same field with cows, or the green patio with fountains, as already mentioned here. In addition, we came across an attic room on the last, fifth, floor. I just can't stand sloping ceilings. And in ours there was also a pointed niche. I already wanted to ask for another room (on all other floors the ceilings are ordinary), but my daughter said that she really liked this "crystal" in the ceiling, and we stayed.
But I really liked the beach. Yes, it is not perfectly clean, but this, in my opinion, is the problem of all sandy beaches. But what a wide! And the entrance to the sea is excellent: sand in the center, small pebbles around the edges (I don’t understand those who complained - with cotton balls, or what, the bottom should be covered? ) And on the left there are no hotels at all, and if you like to sunbathe and splash around without strangers , then at your complete disposal is actually a wild beach! It's so cool and not typical for Turkey. . .

Spotted: the road from the room to the beach takes 15-20 minutes. This is if on foot. There is only one tractor with a trailer, and its imposing driver hangs for a long time at the final stops. Checked: walking will be faster. The road to the beach is lined with oleanders, the shadow appears there only in the evening. Between the hotel and the beach - a lake in the form of a loop with ducks and other animals. A boat with uncles is constantly on duty there, who immediately organize fishing for you. The boys caught crabs with us.
Food - ten points. All kinds of meat - beef, veal, lamb, chicken, turkey (somehow there were even quails), fish, vegetables of course, watermelons, melons, apples, oranges, plums and apricots (though not always ripe), rarely peaches, cherries for every dinner (but the cart with it is taken out cunningly - not at the beginning, but after 8 o'clock). For breakfast, children have two types of cereals - rice and oatmeal, special cookies for soaking in milk for babies, there is a microwave and a mixer. They often give ice cream both by the pool and on the beach. By the way, you can also have lunch on the beach - grilled chicken, meatballs, salads, fruits. We didn't notice any problems with drinks. Whatever they wanted, they got everything. Oh no: green tea was hard to get - the restaurant did not have it, only in some bars.
The animation is beyond praise. We watched all the shows, which has never happened to us in Turkey. And the stage manager Miss Alexandra is just a star, you can go to this hotel just for her sake.
I liked the composition of the vacationers: although the majority are our compatriots, we did not notice drunken and pumping rights, all are pleasant intelligent people; a few Germans, in the end the British appeared (apparently, they also laid eyes on Turkey).
Didn't like the maids. Cleaned badly, despite the tip. They always came at the time when my daughter was sleeping, and they never changed the hour of the visit, they rattled their cart, talked loudly among themselves.
But in general, the hotel left a good impression. I only advise those for whom the view from the balcony is important, immediately ask for a room whose windows overlook the inner garden.
Sorry for the lengthy review, I just couldn’t stop) I will be happy to answer questions.
