Good afternoon everyone, I want to share my impressions about our family vacation in Cilicia. We arrived from there yesterday morning and while there was a free half hour, I'll write a review : ) I left the same review on another site.
We flew from Boryspil with the tour operator Anex-Tour and UTair, we were not detained anywhere, the flight went smoothly. At the airport of Antalya, we were met by Kemal, who saw us off Anex-Tour, he kept the arrivals up to date all the way to the hotel. I will say right away that we were in Turkey for the first time, before that we had only been in Montenegro. We arrived at the hotel at the beginning of eleven in the morning, a pleasant girl at the reception desk, Shahrazade, quickly gave us a card to fill out and suggested that we still had time for a late breakfast, which we did - we quickly went and had a bite. Then they came, took bail beach towels and went to look around and plunge into the sea. I immediately liked the territory visually, beautifully green, flowers and neat bushes all around. We dipped the children into the sea, drank tea in the pull bar and went back in the hope that maybe our room was still ready))) But... as we were warned, I had to wait for check-in until 14.00, they motivated this by the fact that the room is cleaned and after cleaning it is first inspected by someone in charge of them and only then guests are settled there. For resettlement, I rated not quite high just because of this tedious waiting, don’t judge... On the second day, we met our guide Irina, a nice girl, throughout the rest we asked her questions, she explained everything to us. Seeing that we have small children, she didn’t sell excursions, she offered only a small three-hour and tireless excursion on the funicular, we agreed and did not regret that we went and saw Tahtali. Our photos are the same as everyone else's, I'll try to add some amateur videos for the sake of experiment : )
They built a new building, landscape work is being carried out there, but everything is quiet there, hidden from the eyes of vacationers, you simply do not pay attention to these ongoing works during your vacation.

Number.
Exactly at 14.00 we got to our room, it was on the 6th floor in the right wing, if you look at the sea, room No. 1613. There were four of us, there was a double bed, one and a half for my son and a cot for the youngest. I understood that this is a cot later, at first it seemed that they had brought another bed)))) The carpet on the floor was without stains, all the furniture was in good condition, not worn, not scratched, the floor lamp and 3 lamps worked properly, a clean mirror, a new large VEKO TV, channels about 43x, there are 3 Russians, the rest are in Turkish, Polish, German. My children enjoyed watching the Disney Junior channel in Turkish, although I was surprised, they don’t understand anything, but they look without stopping))) In the bathroom there is a set of gels, shampoos, soaps, towels were white and without stains, mold was not found on the seams. The mini-bar was replenished daily with beer, water, cola, fanta and sprite, unfortunately there were no juices in the packages.
Nutrition.
As for me, a lot and tasty. Breakfast-pancakes, croissants, cheese borek, breakfast cereals and hot milk, semolina porridge, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, sausage, cheese, sausages, vegetables, fruits, baked potatoes, tea, coffee from vending machine, sweets in large quantities, fruits are always melons, watermelons, peaches, apricots, apples, cherries. , turkey on the bone, sauteed vegetables, deep-fried onion rings, spaghetti bolognese sauce, stuffed peppers, sweets, fruits... I don’t remember anymore))) The same for dinner, only without soup + ice cream, white, red and pink wine. In general, neither we nor the children were hungry, our youngest even managed to have breakfast or lunch 2 times. There was also a small table with a diet and a baby buffet in the corner with a microwave, instant cereals and teas and a bottle sterilizer. From the 12th day, a snack bar began to work, there were vegetables, fruits, hamburgers, deep-fried chicken and fish sticks, french fries. On the street in a tent, a woman baked gozleme cakes with fillings to choose from - meat, cheese, potatoes, spinach. The bar near the pool is open from morning until late at night, there are all kinds of drinks, cocktails and alcoholic and without, Pepsi, Sprite, lemonade, tea, coffee, I even saw that the kids asked for hot chocolate...

Beach.
At first, small crumbs, pebbles and stones closer to the water, aqua shoes were very useful to all of us. There is a locker room and a shower with fresh water to wash, early in the morning there are enough sunbeds, after 9 am all the sunbeds in the shade are occupied, if you want, take a sunbed under the sun. . . The water is clean and clear in the morning, towards evening the sea sometimes brought garbage into in the form of sticks, leaves and such....uh... wood, like on palm trees. At the beginning of our holiday, the beach was clean, but at the end, apparently not quite conscientious people stopped by, who did not wear disposable cups on special coasters for used dishes, but they threw them right next to the sunbeds, the same with cigarettes... I once decided to make a remark to one lady, apologized and asked me not to throw cigarette butts in the sand, to which I received the answer "I don't need to point it out" and the cigarette butt is still defiantly thrown into the sand. . .
SPA-center.
There are very nice girls at the counter, I decided to take a chance and ordered a peeling, foam massage and a classic massage, this program, in my opinion, was called Cleopatra-1. I haven’t been, so again I have nothing to compare with. Then I took a chance again and went through several sessions of general massage, since my back is a little out of order and I constantly need massage. I also liked the massage, after it I literally shoulders straightened out)))
Animation.

The older one didn’t go to the mini-club, he liked to splash around with the sea with his dad, mask and snorkel, said that it would be better to look at the fish, once he went with the girls to water gymnastics in the children’s pool and that’s all. The younger one was not suitable for the mini-club, they just walked with her on the playground, and in the evening mine danced on the mini-disco. They also had a carnival for children and a circus came. Adult animation is also not bad, constantly water gymnastics, ball exercises, belly dancing, boccia, evening shows all the time, but we didn’t go, the children got tired during the day and after the mini disco they just fell off their feet) ))
In general, what I want to say... Reading the reviews, we were a little afraid to go to Cilicia, we were afraid that the rest might be spoiled by something... But everything turned out to be not so scary, and my husband and children liked everything, the staff smiled at us, no one sent us off, they answered our questions clearly, we weren’t hungry, the room was good, in general we were satisfied with our vacation. My husband didn’t even want to leave.... But now I was leaving with the thought that I would probably return to this place.
