I will write everything as it is, without emotions. Traveled to Turkey with my wife for the first time. We wanted to lie down on the beach and swim in the sea, which we succeeded with success! The sea and the sun are the same for everyone, which is why they chose an economical vacation. We flew through the Tez-tour, there were no problems with the transfer to the hotel and back, moreover, according to our application, at a convenient time for us, the two of us were taken for FREE in a Citroen to the shopping centers of Antalya. We arrived at the hotel at 9-30 am, we were immediately registered at the reception and sent for breakfast. After breakfast for 15 minutes we were placed in a standard room on the 3rd floor. Several times on the bed the maid made swans with roses. The hotel is recently refurbished, the room is clean and comfortable, although the reception and lobby furniture needs updating. Safe right in the room $20 for 2 weeks, very convenient. The windows overlooked a side street and mountains. The weather was sunny all 2 weeks, the sea was warm, the shore was pebbly with small and medium pebbles. The water is terribly salty, you can lie on the waves. From the hotel to the sea 4-5 minutes leisurely walk. Sunbeds before breakfast were not occupied, if you come to the sea immediately after breakfast, there were always free sunbeds. True, some "our" pensioners ran at 6 am, and even fueled the excitement of others. For 2 weeks I did not see a single hungry person, everyone collected 3-4 huge plates. Of course, the main courses could have been varied, but there were enough fruits (plums, watermelons, grapes, apples) and salads, olives and black olives too. 2 times right on the veranda they hung on a hook, butchered and fried a huge tuna, once again there was a shark (though only pieces). By the 10th day of rest, the monotony of food was a little fed up, soy patties began to catch the eye, but we came to rest! But the tan has already laid down in an even layer all over the body. In the first days we went straight to the hotel to the hammam for peeling and massage ($25 per person) The guys know their stuff. Excursions are best taken on the street. . There, all excursions are 1.5 -2 times cheaper, which, in general, the guides of the Tez-tour did not hide. Bar on the beach.... - no guys, this is not a bar, this is a barn without supervision. Located 50 m from the beach, there is also a shower with fresh water. Fruit drinks are chilled, diluted, like "yuppies", by the way, and the wine in the restaurant is also from some kind of powder. The only drink I liked was the coffee. There is no private beach, there is a private part of the common beach, only for 80 people. There are no hotel workers on the beach either - complete communism! As for catering, it is not clear why they created a permanent queue for plates and second courses, they can be arranged in several places, which would be much more convenient. Animation.... - Oh my God! ! from 22-30 to 23-30 the same disc in the style of "Dolby", which is repeatedly interrupted in search of new "melodies". Animators here - NO! In the evenings we went to the amphitheater of the "Zena" hotel, where every day there is a new and interesting program, we laughed heartily. What else - the territory of the hotel is small, the water slide is more like a children's one. The hotel is suitable only for an undemanding public, obviously 3 *, the fourth star was painted on. In general, we had a good rest, because we came to rest on the SEA, if someone came to have fun, there is nowhere, a village in one street, boredom in the hotel. Recommended for retirees and families with children.
