Hooray! All anxieties and worries are behind us, today we have returned from a holiday in Mirada! Kyiv met with rain and a temperature of +15.
Rested with my husband together from 07/14/2016 to 07/21/2016. Tour operator TPG, Bravo Airlines, host of Cattour. During the transfer, our hotel was the first, we drove non-stop to the hotel for 50 minutes, respectively, they took us back last, we drove the other way through Antalya, it turned out 10 minutes faster, we were alone in Mirada.
By the way, before leaving, we looked on the Internet, which means the name of the hotel, it turned out to be translated from Spanish - "Look at the Sea" and on the pier the Spanish flag, not the Turkish one. The hotel was built in 1990, so the epithets "chic", "coolest", etc. are not true, but the hotel is really good, only already very "tired" in places (see photo), but I did not understand if this was the beginning of decline or a temporary phenomenon associated with the crisis. Perhaps, Mirada is the first hotel in which I had a chance to relax and which looks better in the photo than "live", this also applies to the territory. Everything in the spa is especially shabby.

We arrived at the hotel at about 10 am, settled right there, didn’t wait a minute, they didn’t settle in the Garden Chalet building, because. there were few tourists again, I asked for a quieter room, they gave 335, in the left three-story wing, if you stand with your back to the sea.
I liked the room, quiet, view of the backyard of the dining room, pine trees and a piece of the sea in the distance (there is a photo). The room is approximately 3x6 + a corridor with a built-in wardrobe. Everything is in good working order except for the ancient hair dryer which didn't work. Nice balcony with mosquito net and swimwear dryer. Soundproofing is so-so. The air conditioning is adjustable, worked properly, did not make much noise.
Plumbing is good, towels are white, almost new.
The main contingent of vacationers are Turks, then in descending order, Kazakhs, Azerbaijanis, Ukrainians, there were a few Russians, Moldova, the Baltic states, like Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Europeans - Germans, British, Italians, Dutch - I did not see.
Mostly all families, there were no noisy companies, the hotel occupancy was 30-40%, there are plenty of empty places everywhere.
The animators are funny, every day competitions by the pool, in the evening mini-disco and for adults, all sorts of events and concerts.
I think the "chip" of the hotel is foam discos, during the week of stay there were 2 children and 1 adult. In other hotels, we did not come across this during our trips to Turkey.
Food - there is not much variety, but everything is cooked with high quality and tasty, of course, there was not enough seafood, but for such a price this is understandable. I remember sushi and grilled lamb - they gave it once. Delicious and fresh salad herbs, I really liked cherries. Even my husband, almost for the first time in all the trips, was not poisoned by anything))
The bars are equipped with fans that spray the cooling mixture, very cool in the 40-degree heat. By the way, the territory is watered all the time, and in the evening there is no stuffiness and humidity, although this may be a feature of the area.

What else on the territory - behind the main building, where the Garden building is, there is somehow little light and flowers, there are practically no benches for rest, in the evening there is very poor lighting and waterings work all the time, and often right on the paths for walking, so you don’t have to take a walk plainly. There are places where the sewage stinks very strongly.
The most important disappointment is the sea, which is almost always wavy, it’s very uncomfortable to swim, well, maybe early in the morning, but I don’t like to get up early, especially on vacation, and most importantly, DIRT - foam, some rags, someone’s sneaker, bags , plastic cups, paper, that's not all the time from morning to evening, but every day regularly, and it is not clear when this "invasion" will be, either in the morning, or in the afternoon, or in the evening. Thank God, poop, as they wrote in other reviews, did not come across, but all the time in suspense, so as not to "get into trouble" somewhere (((
In general, they are satisfied with the rest, especially the husband, everyone compared Mirada with last year's vacation in Bodrum, and was glad that the hotel was even, and there was no need to go uphill))) The week flew by quickly, we would gladly stay for a couple more days!
And finally, probably what everyone cares about is safety. We didn’t feel anything at all, everything, as usual, went beyond the territory to Goynuk on foot, although on the 3rd day of our stay we learned about an attempt by the state. coup, I look at the Turks, the calm ones walk "like boas", well, we calmed down. At the Antalya airport, everything is also normal, but to be honest, we are glad that we are already at home.
I wish you all a great holiday. I will answer questions.
