I want to share my joys, and not only. Our vacation coincided with the "closure", which brought some features...
"Anextour" did not please us very much, or rather its representatives. They met us at the airport without delay, on a very decent bus, but we were strained by a very slow movement (40-50 km. h) + stops. Moreover, in the process of slow moving, every 10 minutes we were obsessively reminded of a tip. As a result, we got to the hotel in a little over 2 hours, right before the closing of the restaurant. Next, we met with our guides, whose services we used once... unsuccessfully. It was not always possible to find them at the workplace. Moreover, it was possible to get distorted information from the girl sitting at the table of Aneks, who turned out to be the lady of Rashat and she did not bear responsibility for her words. As a result, we lost a day, spent money, spoiled our mood, but our impression of Turkey and its inhabitants became clearer.
When checking in, my husband gave $ and we got a room with a large balcony overlooking the pool in the quietest wing of the "L" floor.

Further, our baby met with all the staff and it became clear that we got to the right place. The hotel staff welcomed the child very warmly, played hide-and-seek, football, etc. The waiters helped feed the little one, entertained and entertained; the chefs brought special sweets that were not on the tables.
Disadvantages:
- no one has fixed the problem. In our room, from the very beginning, the light in the hallway of the room did not work, the door at the closet was not working, the wooden door on the bar was removed. We announced the list of shortcomings in a timely manner and waited, but did not wait for the promised!
- some of the waiters behaved freely
- as such, there is no children's menu for babies
- the children's room is very specific, to be more precise, this is a room for paid slot machines for children and not only. But it soon turned out that a mug of beer could decide the issue of payment in your favor.
- the playground on the street is also not very joyful: a swing, a slide, a weak motorcycle on a spring.
- the jacuzzi on the territory of the indoor pool was not noticed in working order
- during the rains, the electricity was constantly cut off
- an unpleasant advance "folding" of bars, extra umbrellas, than the hotel administration created a "suitcase" mood a week before departure. Moreover, all these gatherings took place in the daytime, the neighboring sunbeds were removed right in front of our noses... somehow it was sad...
- In general, my husband liked the disco, but DJ DaDash turned out to be very selective. Those. drove everyone out with the help of sound and light, and if DASH $, then everything instantly changed for the better, but only for 1 track!
- Sometimes I had to remind you that soap and shampoo were over.
- Restaurant "Sultan" for weak stomachs is not recommended.
- Near the water slides, a kind aunt in very unsanitary conditions makes cakes... a little scary...
- photography services are expensive. We could not open all the photos taken by a specialist...
Advantages:
+ mild climate = excellent acclimatization for the child
+ very quiet due to the small number of people = 60 people

+ Pleasant surprises in the room awaited us every other day, and absolutely for nothing. Swans, fresh flowers on the bed and in a vase, hearts with flowers, bows with child's toys and many other things made us feel euphoric!
+ food - a fairy tale! The menu is varied, everything is very beautiful, appetizing. The child especially liked the puddings, scrambled eggs. I love yoghurts and shrimp salad. The husband is delighted with the "shawarma" in the bar by the sea.
+ the rooms are well equipped.
+ the sea is clean, the beach is not very good, but it’s late in the evening… not all tourists turned out to be clean…
+ Souvenirs in the shop on site can be purchased for very small $, if you ask well. It turned out cheaper than in the market.
Turks are very fond of small children, smiling women and sociable men. All this in the complex pleases both parties very well, and will also give you additional bonuses:
+ store workers often gave toys to our boy
+ In the SPA salon I got a lot of pleasure for very modest $. In total, in 7 days I spent $ 150. Moreover, if you ask, the time of the procedures can last from 45 minutes to 60 or more, without additional payment.
+ Bartenders poured "alcoholic - souvenirs" with them to Russia
+ I really wanted to see Alanya, but the tour. trips with a baby are not very compatible and are long. The husband agreed with a decent boy from the hotel. As a result, in an abridged version in Turkish, I saw Alania above sea level. The trip was interesting, this is exactly what the guides will not provide. And my "Turkish guide" did not charge me $!!!
Of course, given the HOT CHARACTER of the local population, difficulties arise, but they are very understanding. And I was left with a good impression, unlike some Russians! There were very unpleasant situations... it was a shame for the state!
In general, we were satisfied. Even more, we decided to go to the same hotel next year. Because it is ideal for a quiet family holiday. But definitely not in October!
