The territory is huge and very beautiful, here you do not feel like on a small piece of land with a few watered palm trees and bushes, which is surrounded on all sides by the burnt steppe, as in Alanya, for example. Here you are really in a forest park with a huge territory, a lot of beautiful paths, with views of the surrounding mountains. In the "country" you can show your child a variety of living creatures, the caretaker will allow him to touch and hold the chicken, there is the opportunity to ride a horse. Lots of waterfalls and other decorations.
We usually spent the first half of the day before lunch in the upper pool, there are always free sunbeds and towels, which you may not find near the sea if you don’t get up too early and arrive in the season when the hotel has a lot of vacationers. The top pool is very pretty, has a nice slide, never winds, amazing views and very cool 80s disco music.
For lunch we went down to the "aqua" restaurant by the sea, after lunch we stayed at the lower pools or on the beach, at this time you can always find free sunbeds there. At two o'clock, you can also take dry towels if you have passed the wet ones in the upper pool, or immediately change them in the upper one.

There are two slides in the lower pool, which we also really liked, there is some animation. The beach is pebbly, so the water is clear, no matter how many people swim.
The hotel itself is a little old, so the rooms are not very big, but quite tidy. Pros - everywhere there are balconies, bedding and towels changed every day, everything is white, clean, dry and new. They also brought shampoo gels. The room has a refrigerator where you can keep water and food cool. The downside is the lack of air conditioning, however, in early October this was not a big problem, leaving the balcony door open at night we got a comfortable cool temperature. Although, to our surprise, mosquitoes flew into the room through the open door, so I advise you to take a raptor : ) The central air conditioner did not help to slightly cool the temperature in the room at night, also because it rattled a little, which interferes with sleep. But we lived on the top floor under a roof, I think it was cooler on other floors, especially on the lower floors, which lean against the mountain on one side.
There were no problems getting to the sea from the forest hotel, you can use the funicular lift, you can go down to the first floor in the hotel and walk a little along the picturesque path.
The food is pretty good for an inexpensive five in a crisis). Great choice, there is always fish and chicken, I especially liked the chicken in the mysterious white "sauce", the taste is amazing, like real natural chicken, not broilers; and grilled chicken. Delicious pastries, but the trout fried on coals was for some reason always unsalted, and therefore did not impress. Of the cakes, I liked strawberry and orange ones, as well as brown ones, somewhat reminiscent of our Prague one, although if you arrive too late, they may not be enough. From fruits there were always good watermelon and tasteless melon, apples, often plums, oranges, sometimes peaches and tasty grapes. For the "afternoon snack" there were delicious donuts with cinnamon.
A big plus - and food and drinks can be carried anywhere, in the room or on the beach.

The key did not demagnetize, although we did not try to handle it very carefully.
Operator - annex tour, everything is fine, no complaints. They didn’t bother with imposing excursions, however, like the guides of street agencies, they didn’t try to keep you longer and sell you more excursions - in my opinion, Turkey has changed in this, and in my opinion for the better : ).
On the beach of neighboring hotels, very close, you can take a kayak, a small yacht, ride a parachute, banana or scooter, there is also a diving center.
Check-in to the room - at 14 o'clock, but we were immediately given bracelets, and after changing clothes, leaving the suitcase at the reception, we went to the bar on the beach to have a bite and swim. Some people for some reason preferred to sit all this time in the lobby and were upset by the long wait. . . but that's their problem) In general, the staff is quite friendly.
Maybe next year we will go there : )
