The hotel is located 70-80 km from Antalya Airport. The transfer took a little over an hour. Our stay coincided with the European Football Championship (Euro 2012), as well as the earthquake in Marmaris, the echo of which has tangibly reached us. the panic was incredible, although we could get used to it, it shakes periodically. I sympathize with those who arrive early in the morning. Settlement not earlier than from 12-13. And you can’t leave things and cuckooing at the reception is tedious, although there is a bar nearby. We were settled in three-story houses, on the 2nd floor. Numbering is four digits. The first digit means the number of the house, the second - the floor, the last two - the number of the room. With a view from the window, who is lucky. We got a room with a gorgeous view of the neighboring house : ). Although there are a lot of houses overlooking the pools or the sea. In a multi-storey building, for example, everything has a good view. Family rooms consist of two rooms, one has a double bed, the other (tiny) has two beds. If there are more than 2 adults - do not settle for it - it's crowded.
Our room had two good beds, an LCD TV, a fridge with free drinks (they were replenished regularly). Wardrobe. The room has a safe, in order to use it, you need to leave a deposit of $ 5 at the reception, then they give a key in the form of a metal rod, without which the safe does not work. Bathroom - spacious shower, toilet, sink, hair dryer. Towels were changed regularly. Cleaning was also done well, they didn’t beg for money for it. It should be noted that Antalya has grown rich over the years, and the staff no longer looks into your mouth as much as before. So a $1 tip is no longer money for them.
The room has a balcony, there is a plastic table and 2 chairs. The room is opened with a plastic key, which you insert into the electric unit to use electricity. We tried to insert a regular credit card there to make the air conditioner work while we were at the beach, but we could not deceive the system. Central air conditioning. WiFi is free

On the territory of one pool for little ones, one for older children. Lots of water slides. Children are delighted. Two large pools, one medium and one indoor. The water is heavily chlorinated. There are free hammam (in the morning) and sauna (from 14-00).
One main dining room and one on the ground floor (breakfast and dinner only). Plus several themed a la carte restaurants (Chinese, Mexican, Italian, barbecue, Turkish), but you need to go there by appointment. Bars: 2 lobbies, 1 pool bar, beach bar, dessert bar. The bar has a map in the form of an accordion. Drinks marked with one star can order all inclusive (yellow bracelets), one and two ultra all inclusive stars (red bracelets), all that is - vip (black bracelets).
Pros of the hotel: large, beautiful, well-groomed territory, good hammam, active non-intrusive animation, in addition to this, artists are regularly invited (we saw a Chinese circus and Georgian dancers in a week), daily discos, a foam party, a good playground and a kids club, a cartoonist.
There is a large assembly hall in which Euro 2012 matches were broadcast. There are also slot machines for children (for money), a cinema hall.
Cons hotel: a lot of people, the hotel is overloaded. On the beach and near the pool, sun loungers stand in several rows. Our people occupy good places in the morning, as in Soviet times. There are also queues at the bar, despite the small number of staff. Same thing in the dining room. The air conditioner stinks. The staff is a bit relaxed. Lots of local holidaymakers. There are families, and there are just young guys. During the day they noisily play backgammon or dominoes, and in the evening they actively get acquainted with our girls. Actually, for this they come there, as well as our girls.
Wifi works well only at the reception and in the lobby bar. In the rooms and on the beach so - below average. It didn't work in our room at all.
Food pros: there is a diet menu - everything is steamed or boiled, there is baby food in jars, a lot of fruits, watermelons, melons, honey, sweets, pastries, a lot of greens, sauces, yogurts, cheeses, fish (mackerel, trout, sometimes dorado and salmon, and once there was a huge tuna)

Cons: everything with sauces - everything is spicy, everything is sauteed, everything is gravy. The meat is mostly poultry, rarely beef or lamb. Breakfast is poor, with all the apparent abundance there is nothing to eat. All sorts of dishes from nothing. Everything that was prepared before serving (especially barbecue) ended quickly, you had to wait. Sausages, sausages and sushi are disgusting. The administrator of the restaurant could not cope, there was chaos due to the huge number of hungry spa guests. You will not find normal coffee beans in the hotel - it is not there, you have to go beyond to local cafes.
As with all Turkish hotels, local alcoholic drinks are rubbish. Beer is not bad.
The attitude of the staff is a bit arrogant, especially the bartenders. In a word, everything is not clear, it's up to you.
