The food is quite varied, everything is fresh, there were no complaints. Bartenders work for glory, pour conscience, take into account all the whims. about the hotel fund itself, not new, but there are no dead, shabby things, everything is whole, clean, the sheets were perfectly white, but to be honest, the whole fund is in excellent, albeit not new, condition, which is very pleasing. There were enough sun loungers on the beach and by the pool, but I don’t know how during the season.
There are no children, so I won’t tell you about animation, we focused on evening, music, songs, what we need. The pier is pleasant and spacious, although the steps are slippery, it is worth working on them. Very beautiful area in front of the hotel, coniferous forest, well-groomed bushes, everything is neat and tidy, a lot of cats, for allergy sufferers this is a minus, but there are a lot of cats throughout Turkey, for the rest it is more a plus.
Tourists are mainly from Germany / Belgium, there are few Russians, which is generally good, it was trite to watch how Joni from Cappadocia "Vasya from Nizhnezhopinsk" tried to bring the organizer into conflict at the competition, but he did not succumb, since there are few of them. With knowledge of languages, everyone is fluent, they understand both Russian and German and English. I advise for a hotel holiday, for an asset I advise other countries. In general, despite the subtle nuances, the rest and the hotel in particular showed themselves on the good side.
And the very fact that the hotel is located next to a public beach (and is not fenced in anything from it! ) Was a little embarrassing.
Nutrition!! ! Good food for adults! Every day fish, meat! Fresh vegetables. Excellent peaches and watermelons. BUT! The kids had nothing to eat! Fortunately, for the youngest son, we took food with us! And they were saved by local fruits and vegetables. Porridge to cook in this hotel and have not learned!!! ! Although, many other five-star Turkish hotels have long known what oatmeal for breakfast is! Soups for children were also not normal, all with spices. Complete absence of a children's menu.
It also seemed to us that not all the staff were friendly towards Russian speakers. Some hostility towards us was read in them ...Although very nice managers worked at the reception desk, there is also a reception desk on the ground floor, where a kind woman Tatyana works, who willingly gave us answers to all our questions.
We also want to express our gratitude to the girl Asiya (Asiye G? k), who organized a small holiday for us in a Turkish restaurant. Pleasant and responsive manager. By the way, hotel guests have the opportunity to dine once in restaurants located on site. We were in Turkish and fish. The kitchen in the fish restaurant pleased us more.
Wi-fi is weak, air conditioning of the hotel is weak.
Upon arrival home, all four of us came down with a rotovirus infection. But here it is not known where they picked it up (maybe at the airport).
In general, I would not go to this hotel again with children.
I strongly recommend considering the issue of the children's table.
Restaurant fish - a parody of a la carte, poor quality of cooking. A big need to review the menu and cooking techniques, and especially the presentation!!!
Many thanks to the gardeners of Arcanus, they should be equal to all the attendants. Walking through the green area, although small, is nice!
The hotel is focused strictly on the residents of Germany (mostly pensioners) and their requirements for the routine of life, food and everything connected with it. Accordingly, they look at the Russians with apprehension, do not attract equal attention and are very surprised how we Russians got here in general.
Territory: ok! well-groomed, compact, located in a pine forest. There are no comments, even buses with tourists turn around 50m from the rycepshin.
Beach: sandy, quite large, it is not necessary to take sunbeds, there are always a lot of free ones, the entrance to the sea is well cleaned, small pebbles, the sea is clean. There is a nice pier with a bar, fresh water showers and sunbeds. In the morning they feed fish from the pier, you can’t catch it. Volleyball and bocha on the beach before and after lunch.
Room: good, spacious. No odors, cleaned daily. Tipping for cleaning was not given, as well as for all other services. In the refrigerator, 1 liter of different water. There is no beer.
The balcony is spacious, the bed fits freely. Doubts remained about the central air conditioner in the room, because. They didn't use it during the holiday. Weather from +18 to +28. There are three Russian channels.
Bars: 5 bars work clearly on schedule, clean and service is top notch, but in German... only a few speak Russian. Alakarts work in the evenings instead of bars.
Restaurant: if you can call it that, it looks more like a self-service canteen, and the food is monotonous with a frequency of 3 days, but fresh. It’s a pity there are no street grills at least in the evening, etc. no braziers or skewers. On the 4th or 5th day, he ate nothing but fish. For alcoholic drinks, the same story, they are all Turkish. Draw conclusions to whom it is important. Ephesus beer was good. a small terrace adds complexity to smokers. There is a fight for places. The restaurant is uncomfortable and very noisy.
Animation Entertainment: unobtrusive, sleepy. With little children for us it was + . There is no special music either on the beach or by the pool. You can sleep all day. Disco 3 times a week. There is a separate building.
Shopping: every 10 min. a minibus passes by the hotel if you want in Side, Manavgat, etc. 1 euro per person. I recommend street clothing markets in Manavgat on Monday and Thursday.
There you will find everything that interests you. Bargain!!!
In a word, the hotel is not bad and if you are tired, want to sleep off, lose weight, sunbathe and not communicate with anyone during your vacation, then you are here!
But in general, I liked the hotel very much for families with children, I advise. last year were in a dolphin in lara de luxe hotel is much more expensive, asteria liked more. nearby there is also an asteria voyage, I really liked the view, pay attention.
