HOTEL LOCATION: it took 1.5 hours to get to the hotel from the airport, the hotel is located on the outskirts, 1.5 km to the nearest market and a small supermarket “Sec Market”, 19 km to Manavgat, there is a minibus number 5, the fare is 4 lira, it is better to pay in lira, because the Turks convert to $ or € at a terrible rate, and in stores it is more profitable to pay with a card.
HOTEL CHECK IN: we arrived at the hotel at 9 am, we were immediately put on bracelets and offered to go to breakfast, and then return to the reception. When we returned, we were told that there were no available rooms, but they offered to look at the room on the terrace, we went and saw that it was really a barrack, and said that we would not live there, in response we were offered to wait until 14-00, when rooms in the building will be vacant. At 10-00 the bar opened and it became more fun to wait))) Somewhere at 11-00 the receptionist Olga approached us and offered to move to another hotel, and began to list all its advantages, in response we asked for the name of the hotel and give us the Internet so that we could see about this hotel, after that her enthusiasm and interest in us faded sharply, but she connected the Internet to us. We found out that we were offered a 4 * hotel with a lower rating and cheaper. Although according to the rules they must be relocated to a hotel of the same category or higher. We refused, said that we would wait, and at the same time met our hotel guide, told him about this situation, we were promised a good room at 14-00. After dinner, we came to the reception at 14-00 to receive the keys, when we were offered to wait another 15 minutes, we began to resent loudly and we were immediately given the keys.
SEA: to the sea to go slowly 8-10 minutes or by shuttle, which runs every 15 minutes, go 2 minutes. The beach is sandy, entry into the sea is about 2 m of large pebbles, then sand. But for some reason this is only our beach, move 3 meters to the left or right there is sand and small pebbles. We swam there, because the entry into the sea was more pleasant. The sea is clean, not deep, swim and swim to the depth))) There are a lot of sun loungers on the sea and a big plus is that they are all under an awning. There is a bar on the beach where you can have lunch and drink beer.

POOL: good, clean, depth 1.4 m, there are slides, but we did not ride.
FOOD AND ALCOHOL: the food is normal, of course, it will be hard for a gourmet))) but you can eat in peace. Local alcohol, you can drink))) We mostly drank beer and whiskey-cola. A big plus is bottled water (there are refrigerators, almost at every location). From 15-00 to 16-00 there was ice cream on the beach and near the pool, we did not eat, but the children really liked it. Also near the pool at certain times there were burgers))). For 7 days there is an opportunity to go to the A La Carte fish restaurant once (included in the price of the tour).
ENTERTAINMENT: we only went to the evening show program and a couple of times to the disco. The evening show program in the amphitheater was every day except Sunday, starting from 21-00 to 22-30, it was interesting. Disco every day except Sunday, starts at 0-00, there were 2 times, because it can be stressful to wait 1.5 hours for the field of the show program, the music is good.
ROOM: We had a room with a view of the mountains, the condition is normal, safe, mini-bar, balcony, air conditioning. A huge plus - free Wi-Fi in the hotel and in the room.
This hotel is designed for families with children, we were without children, and sometimes this beautiful noise and din was annoying.
This hotel is worth the money, we did not regret that we went here.
