Rested from 24 to 31 May 2015. I read conflicting reviews before leaving. However, I try to get my own opinion about any place and event. In general, it turned out "everything is as always", that is, excellent. By the way, the reviews on this site are more negative than the reviews posted on English-language sites.
First, the pros and cons briefly, well, the details are below.
Pros:
- large green and well-groomed territory;
- early settlement;
- very good food;
- Animation team, except for some evening entertainment jokes (see below for details);
- good conditions for children (most likely, I could recommend the hotel for couples with children, because, being a mother, however, already an adult son, I understand well what is essential for families with children);
- in the main restaurant, the staff cleans very quickly and efficiently;
- we had a standard room, not far from the pools; spa; reception etc. ; 3rd line of numbers; very close to the mini club.
Minuses:

- it is difficult to go into the sea from the beach, with children it is unrealistic, the people have adapted from the pontoons;
- some little things are missing, without which, in principle, you can do without (well, it certainly didn’t cause much trouble for us, but, it’s clear that we all have a different threshold of sensitivity);
- very weak wi-fi;
- a couple of times in the evening we felt that somewhere nearby they were cleaning the sewerage ...everything was quickly weathered;
- cleaning

And now a little more.

Settled immediately upon arrival at 9 am. It is clear that the hotel is not full, but still nice.
There are a lot of couples with children, and 3-4 children each. Children's pools, food, in my opinion, everything is ok with this. Even from the adult menu there will definitely be something to feed the kids.

As for the adult menu: in the morning - fresh orange juice; a lot of greens, vegetables; omelets; pancakes, well, and a standard set: sausages; salads; muesli; cereals; cheeses; donuts. Yes, I agree with other reviews that every day for lunch and dinner - chicken.
But be sure to eat fish or lamb or both fish and lamb. Side dishes: potatoes, all kinds of pasta; casseroles; rice; spinach; ratatouille; steamed vegetables, etc. There are also a lot of salads and snacks, but I like to mix myself and understand what I mixed with what, so I can’t say anything about salads)
Well, only willpower helped to break away from desserts, which could not do anything at the sight of tiramisu.

Yes, they do not serve strawberries 2 times a day, as in Simena Sun Club and there are no 2-3 meat dishes, but otherwise the food is very good.

Beach. Relatively small, there are 2 pontoons from which we swam. But for us this is not a problem at all, however, most likely a problem for the elderly and children. Parents with very young splashed knee-deep near the shore, and older children were lowered from the pontoon in inflatable circles. As for the pools - there is a children's pool, a couple of adults.
There are no tables on the beach at all, unlike the pool, so we turned on the fantasy of where and what to put))


Number. It appears to be after renovation. New plumbing, bathroom just after repair. Safe in the room. The bathroom lacks at least 1 shelf.

In our standard, instead of a wardrobe, there are shelves and hangers for clothes behind a curtain)) Well, again, this can be perceived in different ways. We took it as, so-so, vintage. The bed is clean, the furniture is quite normal.

We did not litter much, so at first there were doubts about the quality of cleaning. As if nothing had been removed, the bed had only been made. They didn’t study with a magnifying glass, nothing caught my eye after cleaning, so we thought that it was normal. Then no one cleaned up until 5 pm. It seemed to me that the dollar does not affect the quality of cleaning. In this, I also agree with those tourists who mentioned this moment in their reviews. For 3 days, 2 bars of soap and 3 bottles of shampoo are allocated.
There is no shower gel. The administration reacted with lightning speed when we applied.

Reception, practically, in the fresh air. Yes, unsightly. So what? We don't come here to spend all the time there.

Animation. Standard set (volleyball, dance class, football, basketball, table tennis). Enjoyed archery and rifle shooting. We spent a lot of time there. Table tennis is respected too. There is no need to look for rackets, everything is in the room with tennis tables. After the children's mini-disco, there is a warm-up for adults for about half an hour before the start of the evening show. There were also dance classes
Didn't like some of the jokes on the evening shows. On the other hand, well, I didn’t like it, they got up and left. On Saturdays they show the show "Alice in Wonderland". To be honest, I did not believe the enthusiastic reviews of vacationers until I saw everything with my own eyes: the scenery, the dancers, the light. In short, it's awesome!
Thank you very much for the morning exercises, gently stretching the spine and muscles.


Aquarium, Antalya. We took a bus from Kemer to Antalya. Go to the road near the hotel and just wait for the bus. Drivers signal with their headlights, and if you need to ride this particular bus, raise your hand. Pay on exit. Near the driver is a price list in dollars, euros and Turkish liras. It is most advantageous to pay in lira. For example, from Beldibi to Antalya the fare is 5.5 liras per person. The hotel guide offered a ride to the Aquarium for $55. In fact, the adult ticket is $35 (that's just the aquarium itself) plus 11 lira round trip fare. I exchanged $10 for 2 people round trip travel; the rate at the hotel was 2.55 lira for 1 dollar, so there were still a few liras left. In the Aquarium, they paid with a card. Exit near the Migros shopping center, where you can definitely see the Aquarium.
When to go? Of course, as soon as possible.
Aquarium opens at 9:30. We got in at about 10 am. At this time, there are no schoolchildren, you can calmly look at everything and take pictures, and there are practically no buses from travel agencies yet. We left the Aquarium at about 12 o'clock, the queue was already long and there were a lot of schoolchildren aged 6-7. There are noticeably more people after 11-11:30. In general, I liked it. I thought, to be honest, it would be uninteresting, because I was in the Oceanarium in Hong Kong. But the impressions are very, very. The kids, I think, will especially like it. The bus back to Beldibi leaves from a stop near the Aquarium. We stomped from Migros to the stop, the driver honked, and we sat down to the stop. On the way back you call your hotel, the driver stops near it.
I forgot, next to the Aquarium and Migros there is also Lunapark.

For several days in a row there were thunderstorms and rains, animation was carried out under awnings, hammam, again. Therefore, even in such weather there is something to do.
As for whether I went to this hotel again, then more likely yes than no. For me, there are definitely more pros than cons.
