Stayed for a week in September. Voucher - from "Annex Tour". There are no comments to the tour operator: they brought me on time, met me, took me back. On the way, the guide Yana told interesting stories about Turkey. At the same time, she said that it is absolutely necessary to come to a meeting with the guide, because he needs information about the return flight from our vouchers, and in addition, he will tell you about the proposed excursions. As it turned out later from the guide himself, he received all the information about our return flight at the reception (she was there after our registration upon arrival), and the purpose of the meeting was to offer us excursions. Having learned that I was already in Turkey for the 4th time, and the other woman - for the 10th, he immediately understood everything and did not detain us. The meeting took 5 minutes.
At the reception, immediately after arrival, the administrator Olga tried to sell me a hammam for $ 20, but I firmly and decisively refused. They didn't try to force anything else.
The room was given on the first floor - 102 - next to the reception.

The room is small with two beds without the possibility of an extra bed for a child. At the same time, the balcony (more precisely, the terrace, because the first floor) turned out to be very large - you can accommodate 4, not 2 people. Balconies and terraces are not fenced with side walls: you go out onto the terrace and see your neighbors. On the other side of the fence is a playground - a space with carpeting, one slide and one swing. Further - the territory of another hotel, namely their kitchen and restaurant.
The plumbing in the room was in good condition, the air conditioner worked, the TV was simple, without the possibility of connecting USB, several Russian channels, in the refrigerator there was an initial bottle of mineral water, which was subsequently filled in a cooler.
They did not clean very well, mostly in the center, there was dust in the corners. The last 2 days have not been cleaned at all.
On the penultimate day, I posted a “do not disturb” sign for 1 hour (it was during the day), then removed it, but the cleaning lady never came in (she always cleaned my room for some reason in the afternoon), although she saw that the sign was removed. On the last day, they decided not to clean at all - he leaves tomorrow, and so it will do.
It was very noisy in the room - until 23-00 the sound of music from the bar comes from the door (it is in the basement, just under the stairs near which the room is) - animation, pop music, chanson, etc. From the balcony door (if it is not closed tightly) – there is a similar noise from a neighboring hotel. Around 23-00 the music stops everywhere. After that, some kind of technical noise got out almost all night - either a kitchen fan, or an air conditioner, or a kitchen hood (I didn’t find out ours or a neighboring hotel). The noise is almost inaudible if you close the door to the balcony (double-glazed window), but it quickly becomes stuffy.
The air conditioner helps to drown out all these sounds, but after a couple of nights with the air conditioner, I felt a cold. Some of the guests complained that there was no rest from the bar, and moved to the other side - overlooking the neighboring hotel, were satisfied. But they didn’t have the first floor, they didn’t have this buzzing-humming that got me.

The restaurant… I think this is their biggest problem. People are already pulling up to the opening, some take their places in advance, sitting with a glass of beer from the bar. As soon as they are allowed to take food, a long line instantly builds up. The buffet is organized in such a way that the queue for dishes is only on one side, so everything is very slow. We could have made the approach from two sides, it would have been faster. Tables fill up fast too. Therefore, it is better to come either directly to the opening, or in an hour, when the bulk will eat, so as not to stand in a long queue.
After 40-50 minutes, the tables are vacated, but they have not yet been removed. Three waiters very slowly remove dirty dishes from the tables, leaving crumbs. After a while, the waiter comes with an estimate and just as leisurely sweeps away the crumbs. Tables are not served, only napkins (not very clean) are placed on top of tablecloths (not very clean). Knives, forks, spoons can be taken in a special box. Periodically, they end - then there are no knives, then spoons, then forks, then plates. Lunch - 1.5 hours, dinner - 2 hours, by the end there is little left. On the menu: stew, chicken, fish, rice, pasta, salads, tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage. Some sweets, which by the end of lunch and dinner are gone. Fruits - apples (last year) and plums (wooden). From 15-30 to 17-00 you can make a hamburger from rolls, cutlets, tomatoes and onions + ketchup-mayonnaise.
Breakfast - scrambled eggs once a week, omelettes a couple of times, oatmeal once, always boiled eggs, rolls, jams, muesli, milk (diluted so that it is blue), tomatoes, cucumbers. Some cheeses and sausages, but tasteless. No fried brisket. Tea, coffee, water from a cooler, juices from powder with a strange color (like yuppies).
Bar is normal. According to the all inclusive system: beer, vodka (Polish), gin (local production), brandy (with anise) - normal. Whiskey is not offered. Wine: red, white (did not try, but people liked it).
Walk 6-8 minutes to the beach. Sunbeds and umbrellas are free. There are 9 rows of umbrellas on the beach. At the beginning of the tenth morning there are free ones in the 8th and 9th rows. Entering the sea is a pebble, not very large, but annoying, especially when you go out. I did not see any special transparency of the water, but there was no mud floating either. The depth increases quickly, 2-3 meters from the shore already with a head.
On a local minibus (dolmush) for $ 1 you can go to Tekirova. Phaselis, Kemer, Beldibi.

Drivers in minibuses understand Russian. When you enter, you say where. You pay at the exit. My question “Tekirova, how much” was answered in Russian “Later, 1 dollar”.
At the entrance to Phaselis Park, you need to buy a ticket - 20 lire, or $ 2, or pay with a card.
You can also take the funicular up Mount Tahtali. Altitude 2650 m above sea level. Take warm clothes with you. Below it was +30 degrees, on the mountain about +15 and a strong wind. You can get there by dolmush to the Olympos Teleferik stop (Olympos Teleferik), then you can either walk 7 km or wait for a transfer, it runs once an hour, the cost is $ 2, I don’t remember in lira, pay the guard at the barrier. At the top, buy a ticket for the funicular (234 liras or something like 33 dollars, you can also pay with a card), the funicular runs every 10 minutes, the journey takes 7 minutes. Upstairs beauty and unforgettable impressions.
