Agree with Lilo's review. We rested from 08/31/08 to 09/13/08. The hotel draws on solid 3 *, but not 3 * +, as we were told (some agencies offer it as 4 *). A big plus of the hotel is the first line and a beautiful green area. Near the sea and mountains. The hotel staff understands Russian with difficulty (except for Tamila, Tatiana and another young lady working in the massage parlor, the first is Russian, the second is Ukrainian, the third is local).
For a room overlooking the sea and the pool on the 2nd floor paid 100 USD. And at first we were offered a room on the first floor with a view of the bushes, the fence and the road. In addition, they have completely unique rooms - they are located inside the building. I have never seen anything like this, apparently the architect was a genius. There are such rooms on each floor of the large building. Their windows overlook the inside of the building, the view from them is simply amazing - the wall of the next room (it's good if it also has a window). Only where, for example, towels to dry in such a room? We liked our room, only they didn’t think about the lighting, it turned out to be weak, but the air conditioner worked at 50% of its capacity. Cleaning was carried out daily, but in two weeks the towels were changed only once (and then for the dollar left), and the bed linen was not changed at all. Warm water was hours from 16 to midnight.
Our guide - Renat with Anex tour. There is no benefit from it. He is only interested in those tourists who first came to Turkey. He immediately begins to offer excursions, which are 2-3 times more expensive than in street agencies. He does not give a price with a list, description and prices, but on the spot he talks about them and shows a photo. It is necessary to choose and buy immediately (it is logical until tourists compare prices with street agencies), explaining this by the fact that he rarely appears at the hotel. In fact, we saw him almost every day. If he sees that a tourist will not buy anything from him, he immediately loses all interest in him. We mainly went from the Hero-tour street agency and were satisfied. Once we went from Anex to Antalya for a ride on a yacht. It turned out to be a huge pleasure boat, on which there were about 250 tourists. On the way back, they were delivered to leather, jewelry and textile centers. So in the first two, the guide simply forgot us and the bus left, although there were 20 of us in it. Here is such a service.

The food is good, but did not differ in variety, vegetables predominate. In addition, in terms of quantity, it was not enough for everyone. For dinner they gave fish or chicken, for which there was a huge queue. Every day they gave watermelon and a few times apples, but they were green. The choice of sweets was small and there were not always enough of them either.
The beach is good. The entrance to the sea from the shore is quite difficult - large, sometimes sharp, stones under water, so it's better from the pier. The pool is good, but we swam in it only once in the heat, the rest of the time - in the sea.
There were no discos, only the so-called animation in the form of competitions every evening, which was led by Ibrahim, who hardly speaks Russian. It was a boring sight. After it, music was turned on very loudly (the same disc), which sometimes rattled even before the start of the second. There were almost no people who wanted to dance.
I don’t know about summer, but at this time this is a hotel for a quiet family vacation. One thing is certain - it cannot be compared with Crimea !! !
