I decided to take the time and write a review, since I myself often focus on them when choosing something, I hope it will be useful to someone : )
This was our second vacation in Turkey and, to be honest, we didn’t expect much, so as not to be very upset later, since the first time we rested in queens park tekirova and we really liked it there and initially planned to return there. But the prices were at their peak during the season, so we decided to choose the cheaper option. This hotel was advised to us by the tour operator + at the time of booking there was a discount on it, so we chose it. In general, the rest was a success and we liked everything, but, of course, if you wish, you can find something to complain about.
1. The hotel area is large, a lot of greenery. The hotel itself can be seen that it is already a little shabby, the shells are peeling, there are many tiles with cracks, etc. But in general, everything is still not bad.

As for the room, it’s better to immediately pay extra for a sea view, as there is one building with 6 or 7 floors, and the view from the window is simply incredible, on the one hand the sea, on the other the mountains. All other buildings are low, a few floors in general, and the view can be on the back of the stage, etc. + entertainment programs were usually up to 24 and everything was much louder there. The room itself suited us - clean, spacious, the mini-bar was filled with water, cola, phantom. The bathroom had shampoo, gel, soap, cotton pads, sticks. The bed, towels were clean, but it is clear that they are no longer new and a little stained. There were also small cracks in the tiles in the shower, but everything was clean, no mold. Cleaning was every day, with the change of all towels, sheets, drinks and all shower accessories all the time reported, this was not even in Queens Park. Air conditioning worked, wi-fi sometimes failed a little, but in general I caught it everywhere on the territory of the hotel.

The sea is very clean, warm, you can see the fish)) but it hurts a little to go into the water over the stones, so it’s better to buy corals right away and you will be happy)) we already knew about this, the shoes were left from the last trip. There are plenty of sunbeds on the beach, most under a canopy, but as we wrote earlier, our people need to take all the sunbeds with towels in the morning and come closer to dinner. BUT even with that, we always found a place.
3. Staff. The staff is just incredible, everyone is so welcoming and friendly that it immediately covered all the minuses of the hotel. We were pleasantly greeted at the reception, helped to bring the suitcases, showed where the room was. We had a problem with the safe in the room - it was solved within 10 minutes after contacting the reception. At all the bars, in the main restaurant, in the kitchen, everyone was very polite and smiling, although it is understandable how difficult it is to run all day to clean and cover in such heat ((
4. Food. We were a little worried about food, because.
I am a rather squeamish person in this regard, but my fears were in vain. The food was delicious, I can’t say that there was something like that, no frills, everything is quite simple and a bit monotonous. But everything was fresh, there was enough food for every taste, we didn’t go hungry)) there were always enough places in the restaurant, the staff cleaned the tables very quickly, each table was thoroughly wiped and disinfected, in this regard they were generally smart. Also, after lunch, a pastry shop began to work, but usually all the cakes from the main restaurant were simply transferred there, so everything was the same as at lunch-dinner. There were about 4 types of ice cream, all in packs, not of very good quality, we liked only one.

The alcohol was mostly Turkish, the beer felt like non-alcoholic) alcohol was added to the cocktails, but it was not felt there, so we just took separately undiluted rum / gin and added it ourselves to the cocktail - it turned out as it should))
5. I also can’t help but note the entertainment, there was aqua aerobics, fitness, classes for children, in the evening there were performances, discos with a cool DJ or live music. From live music we were just delighted! One evening we got to some band that played mostly rock jazz, we really liked it. The rest got to a duet several times, where the girl sang our songs, and the Turkish guy, and it was just a delight, the performers are very talented, each time they gave their best as if they were performing at a full-fledged concert, and not in the background for tipsy uncles and aunts))

Well, what I couldn’t miss was a complete scam with free shopping, because we had never been into this before and didn’t know the details : )) our hotel guide, upon meeting us, began to tell us that this village consists only of hotels and all the nearest shops are purely for tourists with inflated prices, etc. And that the cost of our tour includes 1 free shopping - you can go to Kemer (about 15 minutes to get there) or Antalya (about an hour to get to). We decided to go to Kemer, since it’s not far to go + we were told that they would take us to a shopping center, and in our understanding, a shopping center is when the price of a product is normally indicated everywhere, without all these * adored * market traders and discounts ala * girl -beauty, only for you today at such a price I give * and blah blah. We previously specified what we want to buy, we said that sweets were souvenirs.

In fact, we were brought to some fur and leather store, to our words that we did not order here, we were told to go out anyway. After our indignation, we were taken within 10 minutes to the shopping center, from which there is actually one name, since it was the same bazaar without a single price tag, simply decorated in 4 floors. Fortunately, the shuttle back to the hotel was every 20 minutes, and we quickly returned back, and in the end we bought everything at reasonable prices in the shops across the road.

So, in general, we were very pleased with the rest, of course, if you are unlimited in the budget, then you can find better options, but for this price it is quite a decent option. Next time we decided that we would choose another option, purely for a change, as there are enough hotels in Turkey)) but I still can safely recommend this hotel for a holiday.
