I am writing a review so as not to embarrass the majority of compatriots who are inclined to rest with negative reviews! Because he, having bought, on the recommendation of friends, a ticket to this hotel, spent 2 weeks before departure, looking for reviews of "experienced"! And, to be honest, my mood has noticeably deteriorated!
I'll start in order. The first test (judging by the reviews of predecessors) was to be the valiant employees of Anex Tur! We left the Antalya airport (there were four of us, my wife and I and another couple in love), we easily found the Anex Tur counter, on which the girl told us the number of our bus. Unlike Egypt, I was pleased with the absence of suspicious individuals who persistently offer services for transporting and stuffing your luggage onto the bus. In general, we calmly plunged, waited for all the missing vacationers and moved in the direction of Side and all the surrounding villages.
The guide turned out to be our former compatriot (we found out later), a Meskhetian Turk named Ramazan. On the way, as expected, half of the lecture was devoted to warnings against refusing Anex Tur excursions and buying them in street tents. Undoubtedly, there is some truth in this, however, the almost 2 times lower price on the street is too tempting! ))
They took us to OUR hotel (I read that they were not delivered there, and even with a smaller number of stars). We arrived around 16:00, I remind you that check-in is from 14:00, so we didn't have to wait long. The guide said that if someone is not satisfied with his number, then Anex has its own person who can negotiate with the hotel staff, for a certain amount, to change the number. While we were sitting in the hall, filling out some forms, I asked Ramadan to pick up rooms next to me and my friends. As a result, we were promptly given the keys and shown to the rooms. The rooms were really close, that was the only plus!!!
In addition to the fact that right below us there was a platform for night animation (it was quiet at that time), there was also a hum from the restaurant's working hood. I didn’t even notice the outdated furniture and plumbing, my wife managed to look at it while I was running to the reception. In general, I go back to the guide (room on the 3rd floor) and state all my complaints, to which he replied that the hotel is already full and with my requirements (2 rooms nearby), changing rooms is a big problem. In general, I spat on him and went to the reception desk myself. There was a guy on duty - Timur, I told him my complaints. He said that all rooms are standard. I replied, ok, I have no complaints, but I would be very grateful if he found an opportunity to suggest other options.
He gave 2 keys to the rooms in the opposite wing, on the ground floor, in absolutely their place, overlooking the neighboring building)) The rooms suited us (to be honest, I don’t understand the desire to grab a room with a good view from the window when we return the room from the windows are no longer visible, and during the day we are not in it! ). I returned to thank Timur (he even very generously refused the twenty dollars offered to him!!! ) and to pack things with friends for the move.
The rest is short. I expected more from the restaurant, I thought we would eat plenty of lamb, but the meat was only in the composition of sauces for pasta, rice, etc. From the fruits there were watermelons and plums - always grapes (white raisins, sweet) and melons (not really) times 4 during the week. There are a lot of pastries, but the buns are monotonous, and all sorts of desserts like puddings or mousses, I don’t know what it’s called, I don’t really like it! The best dessert - biscuit cake with banana and Turkish sweets! Lots of greens and tomatoes!
For breakfast, they alternated, scrambled eggs, pancakes, pancakes, scrambled eggs, fried sausage. This is not counting, of course, various cereals, cheeses, sausages, yogurts, pastries, etc.
Visited a la card twice, this is a free dinner in 2 of 3 restaurants to choose from. We chose fish and Turkish, Chinese, the guide did not recommend, although now I would change Turkish to it, because, except for the lul kebab (ground shish kebab), everything is the same as in an ordinary restaurant.
The beach is normal, that is, sunbeds and towels in a shaft, the sand is clean, the sea is warm. Algae is not every day, apparently they have their own schedule. Indeed, there is some kind of stone, but there are many beaches and it is not necessary to limit yourself to your own!! ! I rode a water scooter for 20 minutes - $40.
We went on excursions, or rather sailed on a yacht on the Manavgat River. We took a ticket in a tent, near the entrance to the hotel, for only $ 20 per person!
In general, there is only one conclusion: if you are going to rest - rest, and do not worry about every little thing! Rest is already too short to be filled with all sorts of negativity!
With respect to everyone who read to the end, Alexander! ))
