Were in Lafetos with a child from May 17-30. The weather didn't disappoint! On the penultimate day, it only deteriorated a little, it got colder, it was raining and overcast.
We arrived at the hotel early in the morning, approx. 8.30, hoping to check in, because. apparently there were few people and free rooms were present. But, despite the fact that we were with a child, they said that only after 14.00 (in vain I gave a small present in the form of a chocolate bar). We put on bracelets, went for breakfast, took a walk, suffered until 12, again went to ask for a room. They connected a masseuse to this issue (Russian girls work well there). Finally we are in the room! Hooray! The room was on the 6th floor, overlooking not the sea, but on the opposite side (the main entrance and the store). We needed this, because. overlooking the sea and pools it was terribly noisy. The 6th floor did not strain at all! There were no big problems with the elevators, we even walked for a change. I don’t understand those people who stubbornly waited for the elevator on the 2nd floor, is it really impossible to go down or up the 1st floor? Well, the elderly or those with strollers, yes, it’s hard to climb the stairs, but the rest?
In general, they settled in, immediately to sleep !!! ! After the rest, everything began to seem in pink light! The room is good, no complaints. Everything worked, cleaned every day, water replenished mainly on request. If you left a tip for the cleaners (every other day), everyone added up Pts. Neat and beautiful, even the swans were tied up once when another cleaning lady was cleaning. Photo attached.

The restaurant is also without pretensions. Everything is clean, tidy, plates, mugs, spoons were always there. Yes, the breakfasts are monotonous, but everything you need was always there.
Lunches and dinners are not super chic, but on top. They began to fry meat, fish and other things on the fire for dinner somewhere from May 22. On Saturdays, Turkish night, and dinner can be said to be super chic, sweets are made by Turkish och. Various and delicious. Photo attached. They have a cake show (they set fire to an ice cream cake and carry it through the restaurant), and a lot of traditional Turkish things on Saturdays.
The reviews write that the food is not very good - a lie, there was always meat for lunch and dinner, and at least 3 different types of cooking, of decent quality, side dishes, salads, and everything else was generally heaps.
It is inconvenient that tea and coffee in the evening was only in a cafe ok. amphitheater.
From fruits, yes, there were only apples and cut oranges. At the end they gave slightly greenish apricots.
In the shop, which is next (from the main entrance) go to the right for min. 3-5, they bought Victoria for 3 bucks per kg. Cherries, apricots, watermelons were also sold there.
Beach - at first disappointed, pebbles, sand. I came across quite sharp pebbles both on the beach and when entering the sea. Then they got used to it. I even liked it. The sea is clean!
The territory is small, it was depressing, because. there was literally nowhere to go, the room was the beach and that was it.
We went to the cat store a couple of times. In 20 minutes, but there is not much if you are with a child. The prices there are cheaper than near the hotel and at the hotel, there is more choice, but there is 1 textile leather, 1 souvenir grocery and that's it. We didn’t get to the alar-bazaar, because. one with a child did not dare, but there were no fellow travelers.
The photographer takes good pictures, processes them, the price can be negotiated.
Had a massage at the hotel. It's nice that you don't have to go anywhere. Massage done professionally, I liked it.

On Thursday, in fact, many Turks came, they did not behave very well. The restaurant created a line for half an hour before opening. It's good that they came for a short time.
Turkish cakes are made on the beach, traditionally potatoes, cheese, sugar. Traditionally long. Because almost everyone takes more than two, you have to stand for at least half an hour.
The beach bar is open. You can have a drink and snack. The beds were worn by ourselves.
From the animation I saw only volleyball, darts, gymnastics-dances approx. pools, water polo. For children, I did not see anything except an evening mini disco. Not o. k. Somehow this case was actively going on, it was possible to come up with something original.
We rested in another hotel (Koshdere) there, during the day, competitions were also held among children, and in the evening there was an awarding of diplomas and cocktails after a mini disco, for children it was important, fun and cool! And all the time they held some kind of fun competitions, awards, fashion shows. And it's kind of boring here. 4 songs will dance, a train and a mustache. Then a disco for adults. I didn't go, I can't say anything about it.
A few more words about the massage parlor: the director there is Russian, the girls administrators are also Russian. The masseurs are local but do a good job. The approach is good, the massage is cool, as everywhere they do discounts.
We took a tour of Side. Brought to 3 stores: jewelry, leather, textile. Intrusive sellers except for the textile factory. You can easily walk around and choose. We dined for lunch at a restaurant on the waterfalls (actually a mountain river) it was delicious, fun, drinks were not included as always, well, this is already known.
Shops in the hotel are expensive, bargain.
There were no imported alcoholic drinks. Once I asked for a martini with tonic - it was not. I tried wine - so-so. The beer is good. I took a cocktail - gin and tonic, and whiskey-cola. Didn't discover anything new.
Anex guide Mansur - it seems that he works there for the first week, that you don’t ask, he doesn’t know anything, only the bazaar in Manavgat promotes.

All photos posted on the site correspond to reality. Reviews are also almost all truthful, shortcomings are slightly embellished.
And I also had a birthday, they didn’t congratulate me in any way, it’s sad.
It was boring. If we go again to Turkey, definitely not in this hotel.
