Review:
Good afternoon, rested in this hotel August-September 2012. When choosing a hotel, I was guided by the rating of the hotel (and its rating is quite high), so I decided to stay at this hotel. The hotel is of course 4, but it’s quite average and it’s clearly not worth the money given for a ticket, I’ll explain why:

1. Road
We bought a ticket, the air carrier Kogalymavia (airbuses A320, surcharge for fuel 40 dollars), flight back and forth without delay, for which special thanks to them, the travel time there is 3.10 and back 2.50. The planes are very noisy (many complained that their ears were very blocked and hurt), 2 rows of 3 seats, the aisles are narrow, the chairs too, but this is not the point, the main thing is the flight. We flew to Antalya, went through customs, and reached the hotel in 40 minutes.

2. Hotel
We were already at the hotel at 10.00, because

we were alone, decided not to pay money for the room, approached the reception, they asked to wait for the room for about an hour, offered to change clothes, leave things in the suitcase room and go to breakfast. We did not wait and went to the sea, closer to dinner we went to the reception, the girl offered a room with a view of the mountains, claiming that it was very quiet there (do not believe it, the noise from the neighboring hotel until 24.00 every day). Let's go look (the windows overlook the parking lot, next to the main entrance to the hotel, across the road is the Queen Elizabeth Hotel (ship-hotel).
We decided to refuse this room, returned to the reception and the girl obviously reluctantly gave us the key to the room on the 4th floor (although the money was offered, but she refused). We really liked the room overlooking the sea and the pool and we decided to stay there.

3. Food and service.

I will say that the food at the hotel is monotonous, for 12 days the same thing, of course you will not remain hungry, but obviously you will not be delighted.
The main dishes were grilled mackerel and chicken in different versions. Vegetables, various salads, soups, fruits were plums, grapes, apples, melons (not tasty), watermelons (which they stopped giving in early September, answering the question "Finish" is not the season). The service, of course, deserves special attention, it was possible to eat in the restaurant and on the street (the dishes were placed here and there), which created a lot of inconvenience for walking back and forth). For dinner, you always had to come to the beginning, because the places on the street were occupied 30 minutes before dinner, and the air conditioners were turned on in the restaurant. The waiters (well done) tried, cleaned everything quickly, sometimes even snatched out a plate or a glass (not nice), and some dishes were quickly removed after one hour of dinner (it’s a pity that everyone will eat it), the turkey was generally distributed in portions, and now people are resting with I was waiting for "handouts" with plates and having received a portion, they departed with smiles on their faces.
Alcohol-dilute wines, you can not drink vodka, beer is average.

4. Road to the beach, beach.

The sea is 90 meters from the hotel, walk slowly 3-5 minutes past the tennis courts. The road is of medium traffic, although a pedestrian crossing was marked on the road, people were not allowed to pass, the traffic was very fast.

The beach is beachboy Hussein, a great fellow, he will always bring mattresses and sun loungers, cleanliness everywhere, a bar on the beach (drinks, tea, coffee, you could have a bite from 12 to 16, at 18.00 the bar closed, the sun went over the mountain, but the sea was just fabulous ). Sand and pebble beach, showers, changing cabins. Entry into the sea is good (small stones), the water was clean, sometimes it was stormy.

5. Animation

During the day, as such, there was no animation, in the evening it was sometimes interesting. There was a Turkish night, a dance group was invited, there was fireworks, ice cream cake was given, in the evening there was a laser show on the beach.

6. Territory
The territory is average, but very green and well-groomed, a fairly large pool, children's pool, bar, water slides.

7. Conclusion
The hotel is not bad, but there are disadvantages (air conditioners in the rooms are central, they work only when you are in the room, it is very stuffy in the halls, the hammam is open until 19.00, it is forbidden to take your own soap accessories, beach towels are changed on schedule, water slides too). The hotel has a leather shop, Vera invites you to go with her to Kemer or Antalya for leather - we went, we didn’t find anything interesting for ourselves. The hotel is not a youth hotel, more for a quiet holiday and for those who are ready to ignore some shortcomings.

8. Village.

Plus - location to the airport, no more than 40 minutes on the road, and then with stops at other hotels, mountains, the sea is just super, shopping (I would advise) go to the shopping street located from the hotel to the right (not where the hotel-ship is), sellers are more accommodating, you can find good things, as they say it is better to come during the day (there are no people and the prices are lower). There is a canyon three kilometers away, you can get there by bike, moped (from the hotel you can also rent a car to the right and give a map). There is a market (on Fridays) you need to go along the shopping street where the hotel is a ship, reach the gate with the name of the city, go through them, the market is on the right side, there are no good things and the prices are high, you can buy cheaper on the shopping street). If you want to buy tea, coffee, etc. for home, go to the Migros supermarket (from the gate to the right) is much cheaper. Well, that seems to be all. Have a good rest, if you have any questions, please contact us.
