Замечательный отпуск! Wonderful vacation!

When choosing a hotel, the reviews of vacationers and tourists who have already rested in Imperial Sunland helped me a lot, so I decided to write my own review. I hope it helps someone to make a choice)
So, from the beginning… we arrived in Antalya around 5:30 am, we were at the hotel by 7. That morning we were the only ones checking in, and maybe we were just lucky, but we got the keys to the room in 10 minutes without any extra talk and money in passport. We were given room 3315, which overlooked the amphitheatre. Of course, the music in the evenings from 21.00 to 23.00 was very loud, but on the first day after a sleepless night on the plane, we did not hear anything, and the next we did not go to bed so early.
Food: we liked almost everything, there were no complaints about the quality of cooking. I must say right away that we didn’t try salads with sour cream-mayonnaise (I have nothing against them and I saw that others ate with pleasure, I’m just not a fan of mayonnaise at all). Of the poultry, there were chicken and turkey in various forms: dietary, stewed with vegetables, fried in the oven with spices and vegetables, fried on an electric grill on the street. Fish and beef were also cooked on the grill in the evenings. I have a sweet tooth, so I liked all the desserts without exception (for comparison, when we went to Pammukale for dessert, they gave such honey balls in appearance as in a hotel, but they taste just awful - watery and not sweet), so I can say that the confectioner in the hotel did not disappoint)))). Since the hotel has a lot of vacationers with children, there was a children's menu, for breakfast milk cereals, omelettes, all kinds of sausages, pancakes, muesli, nuts, dried fruits... There are a lot of fresh vegetables, herbs, ten kinds of cheeses. Side dishes: potatoes, eggplant, cauliflower, broccoli cooked in different ways, rice, pasta. Always fresh baked goods. Fruits: always watermelon, melon, plums, apples, for dinner there were peaches, grapes, pears. In the "village tent" a woman baked cakes with various fillings, very tasty and exotic, as the cooking takes place right before our eyes. From 16:30 to 17:30 it was possible to treat yourself to four types of ice cream.

Beach: we liked to go into the sea from the shore, so we usually settled down on sunbeds on the shore, small pebbles were brought there... until 9 am there was enough space, and then families with children came and there were no more empty seats... but on the pier it was possible at any time to choose where you like best.
By the way, the pier is a two-level structure, extending into the sea for 25-30 meters. There is a bar on the pier. You can lie under umbrellas on soft mattress beds, which are covered with white covers (a couple of times I saw an employee change dirty covers for clean ones in the morning), or you can lie on sun loungers, like on the beach.
Security: the beach is guarded around the clock, and people walk around the hotel, make sure that everyone has hotel bracelets. I saw how a girl with a laptop was asked to leave, apparently a lot of such free Internet lovers come from neighboring hotels. Nothing was missing from our room, however, we kept everything of value in a safe.
Service: unfortunately, when checking in, there was no toothpaste in the room, and even after contacting the administrator at the reception, she did not appear. We bought it ourselves near the spa on the -1 floor. There was soap, shampoo, shower gel in the bathroom, and I found out about the existence of a hair conditioner in the hotel by chance, when I walked past the cleaners cart in the corridor... apparently they forgot to put it on us. Bedding and towels were changed every three days, and for the first few days the sign on the door with a request to clean the room was simply ignored, and then it mysteriously disappeared, I had to ask for another one at the reception... I'm not picky, I just needed water in the refrigerator and clean towel. The room was not vacuumed even once, but we did not litter, so in principle it is normal.

Animation: the guys really tried! During the day, aqua aerobics, water polo, darts, warm-up yoga were held. In the evening at 21.00 there is a mini disco (the kids liked it), and after the show time for adults. It was great! I especially remember the evening of belly dancing (Yulia danced - chief animator! Super !!! ) and the Turkish night (the visiting team showed national dances). There was also a fakir show. There were contests every day! The main thing was to take part there, we laughed, even filmed something on video... by the way, the animators persistently urged everyone to participate, even very shy and indifferent)))
Spa: we did not use paid spa services, we only went to the sauna and hammam to warm up and swim in the pool (the water in it was colder than in the outdoor pools). It is worth noting that Issa offered spa services in a very intrusive manner, saying that if we did not peel him, the tan would not fall. Although, perhaps, it can be understood - the work is such, high competition. But I was uncomfortable with such pressure!
The pool with slides was a paradise for children))))) they simply did not get out of it, even when the water was turned off on the slides)
Excursions were bought from the hotel guide Tefik (Anex-tour). We went to the one-day Demre-Mira-Kekova and Pammukale. Very interesting and informative excursions, I especially liked the guide Mina in Pammukale, a historian by education, she spoke Russian competently, the tour was bright and memorable in her performance, it is immediately clear that the person loves his work and approaches the matter with soul. While on Demra another guide, I don’t remember the name, spoke Russian rather weakly and told what she herself had read in books. The only caveat is that we were brought to a wine tasting and an onyx factory, which, in principle, has nothing to do with the excursion, the entire bus refused to go to the textile shop. The first time is certainly interesting, but it's a waste of time.
You can buy souvenirs and sweets almost everywhere if you walk down the street to the left of the hotel. There are many different shops and stalls.
During our vacation, the composition of tourists was approximately the following: most of them were from Russia, a significant part from Iran and Turkey, and were also from Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and Armenia.
P. S. : I absolutely agree with the opinion of many: the main thing is a POSITIVE attitude!
I think that the rest was a success, and I sincerely wish you the same !! !
