My boyfriend and I rarely rest, workaholics, so we needed a relaxing holiday, we are satisfied. And here is a detailed description:
ransfer. There was information on the Internet that flights were delayed (flying with Anex, AzurAir, departure at 3.35 Kyiv-Antalya). In our case, everything went as planned. Check-in for the flight and customs control went quickly. The plane left not very good impressions: it is very crowded to sit, high knees rest against the seat in front, there are no complaints about the crew (I flew with the Wind Rose, it was more comfortable). In Antalya, it was nice to meet an Anex employee at the exit of the airport, who told us where to go next. Transfer to the hotel for about an hour (without shops !!! ), a little excursion, everyone on the bus went to the same hotel.
Hotel. Settlement as stated from 14.00, tk. we arrived at 8.00, then that was a problem. Of course, for such cases, the hotel has a locker room (on the key), a shower, a toilet (there are paper toilet seats, paper, soap, towels), cards for beach towels and the opportunity to visit a restaurant, you can relax, but still taking into account the night flight , like very much in the room. Slept on the beach. At 2:00 pm we were given a room. We bought a standard room, it seems to me that we still have a promo: the room is small, a double bed and an armchair, a flat-screen TV (there are Russian and Ukrainian channels), I was pleased with the number of hangers in the closet (all the dresses found their own), in the closet there are threads and a needle, a shoe brush, a spoon, slippers - nice, a lot of mirrors, a minibar (cola, fanta, gas water, still water, Efes 0.33 beer - they replenish what they used daily), there is a kettle and coffee, tea it, there is a safe, the bathroom is excellent, shampoos and gels are also replenished as needed, there are caps, soap, penza, shower caps, cotton pads and sticks, towels are changed and cleaned every day. The balcony is a sore subject of the hotel: not everyone has it, we rather have a terrace, because level with the ground, but there is a dryer - that's a plus. The room is good, we like it very much.

Food. There is a lot of it, often and very tasty! I think there are options for every taste. As a rule, breakfast - all kinds of cooking eggs, yogurts, pastries, soup, jams, pancakes, milk porridge, etc. Lunch - soups (I want to mention mushroom and chicken), fried, stewed, smoked fish, meat: beef, lamb, chicken in different performance. Dinner is similar to lunch, but a little cooler, there may have been barbecue, and crabs, king prawns, mussels and other seafood. Their only negative is that they are completely bland, there is not enough salt. The food is top notch!
Turkish A'la cart. The package from 7 nights includes one free visit to the A'la cart restaurant. Before leaving, in the reviews, I read that the Italian one was not very good, the Rybny one disappeared immediately, so we went to the Turkish one (for the Kurban Bayran holiday) and were very disappointed, because. in the main restaurant that evening there was also Turkish cuisine, a lot of goodies and delicacies, but we had no snacks and a little lamb kebab, and sweets were generally the same as every day in the main restaurant. And we also messed up the desserts. Complete disappointment. By the way, I heard a bad review about the Italian restaurant from people in the hotel. I recommend not to go. The main restaurant is more varied in food and not worse in taste.
Yacht Kemer (excursion Anex). Very beautiful views of the coast of Kemer from the boat, music - Russian pop and Turkish, food - like in a 3 * hotel (pasta and chicken), terrible beer. There are 3 swimming stops, there are a lot of people, it is difficult to jump, because people are floundering under the jumping platform, there is also a queue to climb up. In general, for the sake of beautiful photos you can take a ride.
Swimming pool. The pool is relatively long, there is where to swim, there are not many people in the pool, but finding sunbeds is another task: even though the hotel rules state that booking is prohibited, people still occupy sunbeds by tying a handkerchief on the armrests, slippers and classic - towels ( photo - the owners of the red scarf have not been on the beach since 10 in the morning, and now it's already 14, for example, my husband and I swim at this time, and because of such chickens we didn't have enough sunbeds). It's disgusting.

WiFi. There are in the rooms, the video in utube is real to watch, the quality is good throughout the whole territory, there is also by the pool and a little on the sea, not on the pier. But there is a caveat: the Internet is available as long as you have a number, because. we were at the hotel from 8 in the morning, and we were checked in at 14, and accordingly we left the room at 12, and from the hotel at 16, the time without a room = without the Internet.
Bars. There are only 3 bars, one of them is round-the-clock, there are few imported alcohol, if we consider Marengo Brut champagne as foreign, in fact, only Balantayz was noticed???? . But Turkish alcohol is quite tolerable, namely tequila, martinis, Baileys and cocktails are not bad, as well as Efes beer. So there is something to drink. Near the pool bar you can taste ice cream, and by the way, the gozleme themselves are also very tasty at the hut with gozleme.
Animation. Unobtrusive and cheerful. We went to gymnastics in the pool, to volleyball, to evening shows. Everything is very good.
Cafe (confectionery). To be honest, I was not impressed: the coffee is delicious, but not "wow", and on vacation you don’t really want it. Cakes as in the hall at lunch and dinner.
SPA. When you get to the hotel, you fall under the harsh agitation of the spa workers. We didn’t go, I won’t leave a review, but I can say that I think $ 80 is expensive for foaming.
Transfer from the hotel. The day before departure after 20:00 you can see the departure time. We didn't have a flight rescheduling. Checked out at 12, we went for a walk around the village, the time flew by quickly, at 15:50 the guide was already gathering everyone in the lobby. On the way to the airport there was a standard "discount sweets" stop.
Abandoned hotel. Reading the reviews before the trip, I came across a mention of an abandoned hotel. It is located 2 hotels from Fantasia, it occupies a huge area (we spent about 3 hours there). I advise fans of the unusual to go. This is not just a hotel, there is another world: caves, a zoo, a farm, monkeys, your own funicular and much more. You can find detailed information on travel sites, there are extended comments from tourists. By the way, the entrance is forbidden there, but there is no police, only crowds of tourists. Comfortable time from 16 until it's dark and not so many people.

Pros. All on 5+. Special thanks for the place to change while / already you are without a room (SPA), clean and comfortable toilet, the opportunity to take a shower. The hotel created comfort as best it could.
Minuses. No wifi without a number. Intrusive sellers of leather and spa services.
P. S. I was registered on the card as the main guest, and my martyr as an additional one, but in Turkey it doesn’t matter, they wrote down the number for a man. It hurt a little.
