I was in Turkey 3 times, I can compare with hotels, because it was in 5 star too.
I read reviews - I'm horrified, who writes that it's very bad, are you kidding me? Do not go to this hotel? EMIRKHAN HOTEL is a hotel that I advise everyone, deserves its 4ku, even more.
The attitude towards us at the hotel is very good (I am from Ukraine), I did not notice any bad attitude towards the Russians, in general, the Russian-speaking staff helps in everything, they have never refused anything. The services of a guide were not needed, at the reception they spoke Russian very well, they helped in everything, on the very first day they made a tour of the hotel, showed where it was.
They settled us in the second building of the emirkhan, because there are mostly double rooms, and in the first there is a family room, and with extra beds... friends with a child were settled there, there was no stuffiness at the reception, they immediately invited me to eat, they cleaned the room without problems.

The hotel area is just huge, everything is green, lots of plants, pomegranates, lemons, palm trees, oleanders, cacti, a lot of different ones, one even bloomed, very beautiful. There are many pools of different depths, from 50 cm to 180 cm....Slides that worked on time, but in all hotels, even in 5 stars, slides do not work all the time, so there is nothing to complain about. Also, you can't swim in the pools after 7 pm, but in which hotel you can? I did not see. . .
Sea. We often got on the "bus" to the beach, and then 70 steps down, they don't bother at all, these are not our Crimean steep descents. Emirkhan's beach is large, there are enough sun loungers, I don't like that the Russians leave towels on the sun loungers, and then they don't even come, because laziness, it's really annoying, but this is our damn mentality! The sea is just great! MUCH CLEANER THAN OUR BLACK!
The animation was constantly with Russian translation, there are Russian animators, they are very funny, they didn’t let you get bored, the animation is repeated every week, but it’s like that everywhere, believe me. There was a Turkish night, traditional Turkish dances were shown, and of course belly dancing. During the day there was aerobics, volleyball, water polo, football, darts, they taught belly dancing, in competitions they made a cocktail for the winners, and threw the losers into the pool.
The disco was at a fairly good level, where until 2 am how when people were dancing. in the open air, they constantly lit torches, then fireworks, animators danced, made all sorts of chains, once there was live music, they also sang very well.
The hotel has a lot of different halls where you can sit and chat calmly, there are many places in the hotel park under the trees, where it is cool, quiet and calm in the evening. The hotel is just huge, so there is something for everyone.

Turkish bath - admission is free - and everything else is paid, a safe is $ 2 per day, a mini bar is filled once for free, billiards, a sauna, a jacuzzi, an excursion to Antalya - for free. There are many markets near the hotel, where it is very easy to bargain for a thing, they make a discount at half the price. A minibus runs constantly, to the Side market per person $ 1.5, to Manavgat - $ 2.5, you can also go or walk to the Oksid disco, entrance $ 5. There are ruins of the ancient city in side, walking around them is free, there are instructions in English, it costs 10 Turkish lira ($ 9) to enter the ancient amphitheater, in Side there is a beautiful embankment with the temple of Apollo. It is better to go to the market in Side in the evening, this is a night market, until 2 am, in Manavgat everything closes by 12 already.
The food at the hotel is simply gorgeous, they cook very tasty, a very large selection, a lot of fruits, watermelons, melons, grapes, nectarines, plums (they are really very sour, either green, or just eat like that, in short, for an amateur). There is a free trip to the A la carte restaurant, we went to a meat restaurant there, we didn’t like it, the food is not very tasty, purely Turkish cuisine, very specific, kebabs are very spicy, I didn’t like Turkish porridge at all, a lot of spices. Cooking is very long, we did not have time for the dinner buffet, although many people like it there.
The only negative is the air conditioner, it constantly turned on with different power, it was difficult to adjust the temperature, then they stopped turning it on at night, they opened the door to the balcony at night, it was normal, they didn’t die from the heat. The territory is constantly watered, there are a lot of trees, but there are mosquitoes, so take some funds.
In general, I liked it very much! I didn't want to leave after 10 days! I advise everyone! And there is something for young people to do there, and for families with children there is an excellent mini club with children's animation!
go and you won't regret it! the main thing is your good mood and goodwill!
