I just came from Letunya with my husband and children 2 and 6 years old. In general, we liked the hotel, there are some minor drawbacks, but it's like everywhere else, when tastes and reality do not match. One big minus is that 90% of vacationers are Russians.
We drove through Sunrise. Flights in the morning. Completely satisfied with the tour operator. Our local guide Tatyana did not impose any excursions on us. We didn't need them.
We were seated quickly, right after breakfast. Almost all the staff speaks Russian, especially English. The entire staff is very polite and efficient.

We lived on the 2nd floor of the main building. Restaurant on the first floor, very convenient. The room is good, the air conditioner always worked, it's a pity the power was not regulated, but it didn't blow on the bed. Were not cleaned every day, because. when the queue reached us, we were in the room, on a nap. The windows overlooked the pool, on the one hand it's good, there is where to look, on the other it's terrible. We went to bed early, and the music screamed until 12 at night, until half past two at night they muffled it a bit, but you can still hear it, even with the balcony closed.
The bar was filled every day, water, juices, pepsi, beer. There was a kettle, coffee, tea, sugar.
Shampoos, gels, soap, slippers, bathrobes. The crib-playpen is not very comfortable, so the child slept with us, since the bed is 2 meters wide. The second child slept on a chair-bed. Linen was dried on the balcony, on chairs, some ropes were pulled, because. on drying in the bathroom everything dried for a long time.
We looked at the Anex building, the first building is still nothing, as a continuation of the main one, but which is behind it, it looks terrible and the windows overlook the utility part and there are no balconies.
Our compatriots took the restaurant for dinner by storm. It's just funny to watch. Food is ok, plenty to choose from. Fruit always. There are also things to feed the children. For the smallest blender, microwave, bottle warmer. The only milk exhibited little. Various snacks throughout the day, ice cream. But the people were gaining so much food, a nightmare. It's just not really so much, sorry to think in one snout. Food from the restaurant is prevented from being taken out. People lined up for meat. Friday Turkish Dinner. The dress code at dinner was not respected at all, few people dressed up, the Russian contingent had an effect. There is a children's restaurant, but the food there seems to be the same as in the main.
The territory is not very large, but green, in flowers, beautiful. Sheds go up to the bungalows, it's good from the sun and rain, but you can't walk on the lawns. Therefore, we walked along the embankment, caught crabs and fed fish - local entertainment. Kilograms dragged bread for feeding. Sunbeds everywhere.
By the pool, as well as at sea, all the sunbeds are always occupied, although there were not so many people. This stupid habit of taking a seat, even if you are not there, is inherent in any nationality. But one or two loungers were always found to land the ass.

The pools are large and there is plenty of room for everyone. Very convenient, what a lot of shallow water for children. There are two relaxation pools near the bungalows, but we did not swim there, foreigners hung out there. The kids club has a mini pool. The club itself is kind of boring, there are few toys in it. Children's playground in the shade, small and somehow inconspicuous. We didn't go to it.
To go to the sea across the river along the bridge, we always looked at schools of fish, the sea turtle swam. On the beach bar, marine entertainment. We went on a boat to the sea and looked at the turtles along the river. Interesting and not expensive, 20 bucks from the nose.
The sea is clean and warm. The beach is sand, the stones are small and less smooth, but it was hard for me to enter, for example, with a child in my arms.
You can fly on a parachute, 60 bucks, we wanted to fly, but when we got together the weather did not allow, until the very departure.
We went to the center of Belek, to go shopping. Taxi 20 bucks round trip. They bring you and wait. You can get 1 bucks on a tractor, but there were so many people crowded, he drove up to us all loaded, that they didn’t dare to stuff themselves with the children like a sprat into a barrel. The market comes on Saturdays. Located behind an artificial waterfall. You can bargain. Rags, bags, sweets, souvenirs. Everything is cheaper than in stores. The market in Kadriye, on Tuesdays, is a little further to go, and costs 40 bucks back and forth from Letunya, and the shops there are the same, a little less quantity.
In the hotel itself there are mini shops, all in euros, and they throw in a couple of euros, for the same thing that you can buy on the market.
They offer to go to the Forsa store, they invite me there. We visited, there is nothing to do there, everything is very expensive, there are no buyers. So don't waste your time and money on it.

I liked the fact that fur, leather, gold, spa services and photographers were not imposed. There was no need to get rid of them. Photo 7 bucks. Everything in the spa is in euros. The cost of massage is more expensive than in Moscow. I did with Farida a couple of times, I liked it and it helped. Did a massage on the beach in a tent, this is optional. Foam peeling coolly helps for a good tan 19 euros. I liked the Turkish bath, it smells great of menthol. Indoor swimming pool with jacuzzi in the spa, on the ground floor of the main building.
Entertained constantly.
Like briefly told about the main points. Outcome. The hotel is good. I would go there again, I liked everything. But only when there will be fewer Russians, as in the Asteria club, where 90% of the Germans. Just ashamed of the behavior of Russian comrades and unpleasant.
