So, let's get started, she returned on September 23 (stay from the 13th).
MEETING, REGISTRATION, ACCOMMODATION. The very meeting at the airport in Antalya, however, as well as the flight, went without a hitch - I was waiting for a comfortable bus, a guide, and everything was fine. We arrived at the hotel around 9 am. By the way, there are such concepts as "check-in" and "check-out". check-in at 12-00 and you also have to vacate the room before 12-00, so we had to wait 12 to get the room. They offered to change clothes in the toilet, and leave things in the luggage room, not very convenient, but there was nothing to do (5 stars!!! ). During this time, we visited the "hammam" - a very pleasant peeling-massage-relaxing procedure at the hotel in the SPA (it costs 35 USD from guides, but you can find better ones in the city and at a lower price - checked). What happened after was just awful))) we were settled in the second building in a room on the first floor with a beautiful view of the bolerny room and with an exit from the balcony directly onto the grass - naturally for 1200 USD. per person, we just went nuts)) in general, a little ora at the reception and 15 dollars (the latter played a decisive role) we were settled in a beautiful corner suite (instead of the standard) on the 5th floor with an area of ​ ​ about 2.5 times more, with a balcony of 10 meters and a beautiful view of the sea and mountains, with a large double bed and a sofa bed))
HOTEL. Only an idiot would guess in a hotel not 2440 rooms to put a light gray carpet, and everywhere. You yourself understand that it is no longer the original color, but in terrible stains of unknown origin)) this spoils the whole picture) the room itself was comfortable, always cold-hot water, by the way, take all the toiletries with you, because nothing but 20 ml bottles of pseudo-shampoo are not issued, well, there was also household soap, just as there were no dressing gowns and slippers. Cleaning was carried out regularly, I won’t say that it was at the level, but thanks for that (it’s customary to leave a dollar to the maid, but as practice has shown - don’t leave it, the level is the same), Yes, and at the expense of replacing towels - don’t be glad that they are every day dry and clean - these are the same as they were, but dried and ironed))) verified by practical experience))) so it’s better to be in the room and control at the time of cleaning)) by the way, there is a safe in the room, but there are a lot of will not fit, so less valuable things. There is a refrigerator that also serves as a bar - in theory it was replenished every day - 2 cans of water (cola and fanta, a bottle of beer and mineral water), more than one plate did not fit there)))

TERRITORY. Huge, very beautiful, many palm trees and fruit trees, there is a mini-zoo (although there are only birds, but still nice), everything is compact and you can get from the aqua bar to the beach or restaurant in a minute)) of course, if you know how go)) there are poles with signs, knowledge of English will be useful. Very beautiful and clean pools - with different depths - from 0.5 m to 2.80 - and for kids, and you can dive, though after 19-00 I do not recommend swimming there - they are cleaned and poured something like ours at that time bleach. There are enough sun loungers, although the sun loungers are not in the best condition, they are asking for a replacement . . umbrellas too - though there are a dozen new ones - the rest are not very pleasant to touch - rusty. In the main pool there is something like a hydromassage - water beats from the gazebo under pressure - you lie down under pressure - and it’s like being massaged)) it’s nice)) in the second pool - 3 slides - at first it was fun, then fed up, by the way, they work by the hour. There are a lot of bars on the territory where you can refresh yourself, there are also minibars on the beach, it’s very convenient, I got up from the sunbed, walked 5 steps, took a cold sprite or fresh juice and belly up again)) The beach is large, pebble sand and pebbles of different sizes . . sometimes legs it hurt . . there are also enough sun loungers on the beach, by the way, it is proposed to throw the garbage into large clay miners (very cool)).
There is a playground with swings and carousels.
KITCHEN. To my disappointment, I didn’t find anything “such” from the dishes - rice, scrambled eggs, beef, baked potatoes (I had mashed potatoes a couple of times - there was such a stir !!! )))), sausages, stewed vegetables... everything is the same as Houses. Of course, a variety of sauces - spicy and not very hot, but having tried it, I decided not to scoff at the stomach))) Of the fruits - only watermelon, melon, plums and grapes (the latter was swept away instantly). I ADVISE - chicken in all its preparations and lamb, pancakes (made for breakfast) with chocolate paste, DO NOT ADVISE - scrambled eggs (the feeling that it is cooked together with the shell) and beef (it is unrealistic not to chew, even cut off), as well as soups - no taste, and the consistency is jelly-jelly puree . . brr... In the bars on the territory you can refresh yourself with hamburgers, pizza, french fries, vegetable salads and of course cakes - delicious, everything is soaked in honey - you really will lick your fingers)) my favorite was a coffee cake, reminiscent of our soviet potatoes)) there was a Turkish village on the territory - they prepared huge pancakes with cheese and potatoes, and you could also enjoy Turkish coffee there. DRINKS - local (gin, vodka, whiskey) are not the best, but tolerably, it was not possible to get drunk even once))) in the lobby bar there are imported ones - martinis, baileys for a fee. Do not drink juices from vending machines - pure water ((sprite, cola - available, from beer - only local and effes pilsner. Good teas, Turkey all the same)) for dinner, a bottle of local wine, white or red, is put on each table, I I would say semi-sour)))
There are 4 A la carte restaurants, by appointment only !!! ))) stand in line from 9 to 10 in the morning - and please, on the next day, enjoy dishes of Turkish, Latin American, Italian and fish cuisine (I personally was in Turkish - I liked it lamb and stewed vegetables, and cutlets))

STAFF. It’s a separate conversation, they got pissed off with them and their rudeness and sloppiness))) in our company even a stable expression has been preserved - van dollar happy yes))) for a dollar they will cover, serve, declare VIP clients and kings))) without a dollar - in principle, too they smell, but very reluctantly and with a sour face)) or you run around yourself, looking for forks, knives, and even plates, but in general people are not bad, something like our doctors and teachers - they pay little, so you have to hack and knock out an extra penny. The main thing is to immediately put in place and achieve (again 5 stars !!! ))).
GUIDES. I saw a review about Maria, but to be honest, almost the only one from the entire team of hotel guides who can really help with something. I would recommend contacting her if you do.
TOURS. Very expensive at teztur. It’s better to go out to the city, find an agency and go from them (checked - at the market when you exit the hotel to the right - the agency from Idriski-tour is 2 times cheaper, and the service is the same as the program). They are intimidated by the fact that if something happens, then insurance does not cover such cases, but it does not cover exactly what you can get sick with (for example, sunburns and strokes !!! , exacerbation of chronic diseases - and after all, ulcers something is sure to escalate from such a cuisine, etc. ). If you want confidence - take it from a teztur, then at least you can beat your fist on the table wanting to compensate (but there is no such guarantee), if you just want to have a good time - take it somewhere cheaper.
ANIMATORS. SUPER!! ! There are no words, just SHEREF and his team - smarties - the day began with various competitions and events - darts, archery, aqua aerobics, water polo, volleyball, water entertainment, at 21.30 every day the show - or arrange themselves, or some then the ensembles (the Michael Jackson show was super, as well as the playbacks, the Chinese circus). Their leader, Sheref, is just a bubochka, 2 Russian-speaking animators - Ruslana (just a sweetie) and Vova (the break dances well), for the children - two "nanny" girls, of a specific appearance, but very kind and literate, musical accompaniment - on the level. 1-2 times a week they organized trips to Kemer to the best discotheque "Aura", while watching the tourists so that nothing happened to anyone. Well, you can praise endlessly - SUPER! There was also a girl teaching dance (Yanina).

SOUVENIRS. Trade and trade again! And for souvenirs it is better to go deep into the "hunting row" - when leaving the hotel to the right and at Elizabeth Queen to the left and straight ahead.
TOTAL. The hotel itself does not pull 5, maximum 4-. If it were not for the territory, the azure sea and the animators, I would have been completely upset with such a service, but the mood was great, I wanted to relax and not bother over trifles, so I left more or less satisfied. But honestly, I won't go there again.
