I rested with my wife from July 27 to August 12.2005. Those who met from the ERAY tour company could not find the hotel for a long time (I will make a reservation right away, its representative in the hotel was very rarely seen, while TEZ was sitting at the reception as if tied)
We arrived in the morning, naturally there were some problems with the check-in. it is after 12:00 pm But we were not at a loss - we left our things in someone's office, changed clothes and went to the beach.
The hotel is small, quiet, away from the roads (and the sea), 2 residential two-story buildings + 1 administrative, well-groomed area, lots of greenery. The staff is friendly, but they don't speak Russian. Rooms overlooking the pool and overlooking "nowhere" or the mountains (we got a view of the pool). The room has individual air conditioning, TV, telephone, three beds, balcony, toilet, shower, hair dryer. Everything worked properly. Tidy up steadily, even the linen was changed. Swimming pool - clean approximately 20x10m. , max. depth is about 2 m. , there is a paddling pool. Safe - in the adm. building for a fee.

Open-air restaurant (around the pool) tables for four under umbrellas. It's hot to have lunch, but breakfast and dinner are good - fresh in the morning, in the evening - a shade from the residential building. Czechs, Ukrainians, Belarusians, and a family of Turks rested and dined with us. Shame on my compatriots.
The bar was constantly working: juices (powder), water, tea, coffee, beer. We were not interested in stronger alcohol (we had our own), international music (also constantly). Animation was practically non-existent (but they were regularly taken somewhere to night discos). Once they staged a “Foam Show”, apparently to “promotion” of their own bathhouse (which we were not).
The food was quite satisfactory. There was no indigestion. Meat dishes, salads, desserts, few fruits, dried apricots, raisins. Often treated to watermelons. On the street you could buy figs, cherries, peaches, and so on. They sent postcards to friends (not from the reception, but went to the village) - surprisingly they reached the addressee.
About the sea: about 5 minutes walk to it. “Legless” or lazy people were taken in a tented truck, leaving every hour from the reception. Drive 1-2 minutes. The beach is sandy, entry into the sea is on pebbles. On the beach, sun loungers under a mesh awning or umbrellas, a bar with drinks and music. We didn't pay any money. Beach towels were received and changed at the hotel free of charge.
In general, for people who are not spoiled, such a rest is quite enough.

The excursion program is traditional for Turkey. We took at the hotel, but it was possible on the street (it's cheaper there). I was in Pamukkale and Ephesus in 2004, Chimera and all kinds of safaris did not appeal. From the offer we took Antalya (with a visit to textile and gold shopping centers), Demre-Mira-Kekova, a yacht and diving. There is nothing to see under water - only stones, but the instruction is in Russian and literally everything is done for you. The price includes a transfer, 2 dives (one with fish feeding), lunch on board (fried fish with rice), a certificate (diploma) for 2 dives and a glass of champagne! They shoot movies under water and take pictures of everything for extra. fee. Demre-Mira-Kekova was interesting, but very hot. The price includes a transfer, a visit to the Lycian tombs in the rocks, the Church of St. Nicholas, the sunken city, lunch in a restaurant.
I really liked the airport (before that I was in Dalaman, it is better than Koltsovo, but it cannot be compared with Antalya)
