Good day to all!
Briefly about the hotel at the time of the visit: The hotel has recently changed ownership. Repairs are being made and the first line is being completed. The main building is located across a small road for buses (an underpass connects to the beach). Walk from the main building to the sea - 3 minutes (more only if you linger in a bar along the way. ))))
I was vacationing with a friend. We didn't go to the beach at all, we liked the pier (floating platform or whatever you want to call it). I took a hotel with a platform, given that the beach is rocky. On the platform you can take beer, juice, water, there are tables. There are no umbrellas on the platform and a canopy in the heat only above the tables, but in my opinion this is not a big minus, because. I sunbathe with cream normally, but my friend does not tolerate the open sun (the skin is very light), so from 12 to 14 we went to the pool and hid under an umbrella.

They brought small pebbles and covered the beach of the first line of the hotel. On the day of our departure, this first line was just being opened, but we didn’t have time to see what was there and how (and we weren’t very interested, to be honest).
We liked the pools - both for adults, and for children, and indoors, but we spent little time in them. We were generally lucky with the weather. Bathing places, taking into account the geographical features of the area, are 5.
With food, of course, for 5 * it’s rather weak, but we didn’t leave hungry. Vermicelli - always and everywhere (side dish, in salad, in sweet)))) This is Turkey))) Very tasty rice - we ate it almost all the time. We also saw potatoes, tried the diet menu - not impressed (cauliflower, broccoli, etc. ), stewed vegetables (eggplant, zucchini, etc. in one vegetable stew), pearl barley (or something very similar - also liked it). With meat, in my opinion, everything is fine - grilled fish and barbecue or shawarma were every evening. I really liked the fish (the meat was sometimes a bit dry for my taste). There was a long line, of course, but you could just come a little later. Everyone had enough. + In addition to fish-meat, there were ready-made cutlets, sausages, meats, sausages on the street... In general, the assortment for 5 * is not chic, but for the money paid for the hotel, I think you can put 5 with a minus or 4 with a plus.
On our arrival there were a lot of people and on the day of our departure there were VERY many people (just pandemonium))). I even felt sorry for the waiters - they were knocked down (the staff was not enough). Apparently this was due to the fact that WE (those who lived there the previous week) had not yet left, and the new arrivals were hungry))) And during our stay we did not observe such madness, there was enough space for everyone and the waiters cleaned quite quickly . . They already knew us by sight and put us in either an "Italian" or "Turkish" restaurant for free.

In general, the hotel has 3 a-la carte restaurants. They seem to be free. But the service in these restaurants costs money (5 bucks per person in Italian and Turkish and 10 or 15 in fish). We didn't go anywhere. The guys went to Italian - did not like it. The food is essentially the same as in the main restaurant, there is just service (which, by the way, is not up to par).
Cakes are baked until 17:00. Ice cream is distributed exactly from 17 to 18. We had it like that. Ice cream is delicious!! ! Too bad there are only 4 types. But again, there was enough for everyone.
Bath. Wet, dry, hamam. The manager's name is Isa. Sells peeling, foam massage and mask for 40 bucks. You can probably still bargain, but we decided to do without money. Sometimes they just came to warm up (naturally for free).
The Pegasus Hotel Guide (bastard) was selling the same as a tour (peeling, foam massage, total massage and mask) for $25.35 and like $45. We rolled out of curiosity. Programs for 25 and 35 are ABSOLUTELY the same. We rode in the same bus, drank the same tea, and at the same time finished with a massage... The difference really is 10 dollars))))
And one more ambush with a guide - a sightseeing tour of Antalya with shops and a yacht. A shameful loss of half a day if you do not need leather interiors, jewelry and textiles (at the same time, textiles are definitely 10-15% more expensive than near the hotel). First a leather shop, then a jewelry store, then textiles, then lunch, then a yacht. About 8 buses were loaded onto a 3-storey yacht (if not more). They took us to the waterfall. We were given 20 minutes to swim. We were taken back to the port. They didn’t let us go to the shops of Antalya (for example, we wanted to buy tobacco for hookah by order of friends). We were taken back to the hotels. Of course, it was possible to stay in Antalya and then get on our own, but we were afraid, because. in Turkey for the first time and the terrain was still poorly oriented... In general, there was no overview of Antalya in principle. Excursion $ 20 so it's a pity only lost time.
Excursion Demre-Mira-Kekova liked. Although the hotel bastard again deceived. He said that the road will take an hour, and we will return at 16.00. We ended up back around 20.00, almost late for dinner, and on the way some got sick.

The guide talked only about excursions. The rest of the questions sometimes did not even receive attention...
The hotel staff speaks good Russian, they try to help as much as possible. The cleaning lady forgot to put towels for us, they went down to the reception, they brought them to us after 5 minutes, and the next day they tied up the curtains and glued the petals in the bathroom...
Animation is. She is really unobtrusive))) You are invited to play darts, water polo, aqua aerobics before lunch and after lunch. In the evening, an entertainment program is held in the amphitheater: competitions, dances. Disco from 11.30 to 02.00. It was warm and some civilians continued to have fun on the pier. . .
In general, the goal of the holiday was achieved. Rested. If the price remains the same with the opening of new buildings in the hotel, I will go again. It is only desirable that the staff be increased in an appropriate proportion...
