We returned from the hotel (3 adults) only yesterday, so the impressions are fresh. I’ll make a reservation right away that I was in Turkey for the first time and for the first time on the allinclusive system, before that I had been in several European countries, the United Arab Emirates, Georgia, so I can only compare with this. This hotel was chosen for its reasonable price, good reviews and mountain views.

Road to the hotel
We arrived early, at the beginning of 7 am, we were promptly loaded into the bus and taken to the hotel. Someone says that the ride is very long, but I almost didn’t notice the road, because it mostly runs through picturesque areas. The hotel is the last in the village, they immediately warned that they would be the first to pick up on excursions, and the last to bring them.

Accommodation

We were at the hotel at 9 am, immediately sent for breakfast, after breakfast the settlement. First they showed us terrible standard rooms on the 1st floor overlooking the road in the main building. We refused and for 50u. e.
we were given a 2-room suite in a garden suite overlooking the pool and the sea, mountains, which we were very pleased with, because the views are excellent (4 balconies) and there is more space. The room is refurbished and the beds are hard. Near the pool in the evening there is a disco until 12 at night, it was noisy, but we are without children and before 12 we still don’t fall asleep, therefore, it didn’t interfere much.
Cleaning in the room is a separate issue, they cleaned it somehow only if they left it for tea. Nobody did anything without it. But they regularly changed bedding and towels, almost every day or every other day.
Mini bar replenished only on a call to the reception.
The room has a safe, 2 TVs, minibar, toiletries. No slippers or robes!

Nutrition
There are a lot of things in the main restaurant, we were not hungry, we even overate. We got on the Eid al-Adha holiday, we were treated to very tasty lamb. And so there was always enough different meat, a lot of vegetables and fruits.
But the variety of fish was not observed, seafood is small and not frequent. There were no cancers for a week.
Gozleme is very tasty, baklava is beyond praise, soft and tender, different types, immersed in honey, very tasty. They looked for where to buy one - they did not find it, they tried it - not that.
In the snack bar by the pool you can have a full meal with a view of the sea, there are meat and burgers, vegetables, potatoes, fruits, sweets. On the contrary, they make gozleme, baked potatoes with various fillings. From 12 to 16 several types of ice cream, very tasty and not greasy.
The alcohol is not very good, the cocktails are terrible, if you want to drink - stock up in duty free.
Coffee everywhere from vending machines, inferior. Only in the lobby Turkish coffee is brewed on the sand, tasty and strong.

Territory

Not big, green, not many places to walk. Grow bananas, oranges, many flowers, everything is clean, cleaned. Wi-Fi catches in the lobby, on the territory and in the rooms there is practically no. From everywhere there is a gorgeous view of Mount Tahtali!

Pools
There is a main pool, there was almost no lying, too many people and loud music. But behind the pool bar there is a Relax pool, it is quieter, more comfortable and more pleasant to relax, the bar is also available. There are also pools for children.

Sea and beach
The beach is wide, small pebbles with sand, there are a lot of sunbeds, but you need to borrow at 6-7 in the morning, otherwise you will be without a sunbed. The sea is insanely warm and clean, entry into the water is normal, slippers were not required. There are small fish that bite painfully on the legs in the shallows.

SPA in the hotel
The first day we went to the spa at the hotel, for 42 dollars. a complex was done per person - peeling, foam massage, full body massage and facial care in the hammam. Facial treatment ($15) is complete garbage, then only the skin itched. And the rest I liked, the skin is velvety, the tan lay down better. There is an indoor pool, but the water is cold.

Animation
Not intrusive, evening performances are different, for an amateur. Too bad there wasn't a foam party in a week.

Hotel guide, excursions.
Fahradin, overpriced annex tour excursions, scares you with stories about what will happen to you if you take a tour on the street. We do not like excursions with a crowd of tourists, so there is a car rental 400 meters from the hotel to the right, we took Renault Fluence for 70 dollars. , but if they drove on the mechanics, one could take a Peugeot 301 for 50 dollars. We also went to Demre / Kekova, Phaselis, to the lift to Tahtali (I liked everything, I recommend it! , picturesque roads, beautiful places). We spent less than it would cost to take from Anex, and more pleasure. By the way, parking at the hotel is free.

And further. There are a lot of small children in the hotel, the hotel is family, get ready for constant crying and children's screams.


In general, I liked the rest, Turkey is a wonderful country, warm blue sea, blue sky, bright sun, hospitable Turks, honey sweets! Maybe I'll come here again sometime.
