In Turkey for the first time, so there is nothing to compare with. We went as a family: me, my husband and two small children 3 and 1.5 years old.
We arrived early in the morning at 8 o'clock, we were immediately settled, although the check-in was from 14 o'clock. It took 1 hour and 15 minutes from the airport to the hotel. Operator Teztur.
There is a lot of greenery around the hotel, you walk like in a garden. Grow apples, walnuts, pomegranate, lime, oranges, bananas. There is a small pond where fish live and 2 water turtles - the children liked it. Many small lizards crawl along the paths. We saw a chameleon once. On the way to the sea, in the forest, we met a big turtle and a smaller turtle. They are quite used to people! We fed them apples. We also saw a hummingbird. Walk to the sea about 10 minutes, but with small children a little far
(it was hard to come back in the heat). But nothing, we walked, even without the stroller, which we forgot at home.

They didn’t think about food, the children still didn’t eat anything, except for fruits, cakes and milk (they asked at the reception or at the bar). The food was delicious, there was plenty to choose from, but a little monotonous. There were fruits, pastries, fresh vegetables, fish, meat, cheeses of different varieties, stewed vegetables, potatoes, rice, pasta - in general, the food is ordinary, only sausage is not tasty. Good staff attitude. And in general, everyone walks and smiles at you. And it is also surprising that all Turks are very fond of children.
The room is ok, but there was mold in the shower, but we didn't really find fault. Cleaned up every day.
Children cannot be pulled out of the sea and from the pool. I liked the Minidisco in the evening, there were various competitions for children, but the music was too loud.
In general, the price corresponds to the quality.
We also went to Side and Manavgat. It takes 20 minutes to drive to Side and Manavgat. Everyone at the reception asked how to get there and so on. We got on the bus and drove off. In Side we went to see the ancient city and the amphitheater. Only the entrance to the amphitheater and the museum is paid (10 lira each, only lira is accepted), everything else you go and watch for free. Lots of very cozy little cafes and shops. I really liked the amphitheater and the temple of Apollo right on the seashore. It was very interesting to see and touch all these ruins. And for shopping we went to Manavgat to the market, as it is more expensive in Side. The most trading days at the market are Monday and Thursday.
Of course, we didn’t go on excursions, but one Turk went to the beach every day, the excursions are the same as those of the operator, only 2 times cheaper.
We liked everything.
