Prices:
Rested 2 adults + 1 children. (child 12), 10 nights, through Turtes it cost 1860 USD, through Pegasus others paid 1350 USD. Depends on the operator - - it is necessary to search.
Comparison with other 5*:
Before that, we went to hotels in Kemer (Limra Limak) and in Belek (Barcelo). In reality, Olympians are lower than the previous five-star ones in terms of level. But there we paid 3000 and 3500 USD. for the same period. We can say that this Olympinas is simpler than five stars and for simple money.
Food:

The best food we've ever had. Usually in Turkey there are a lot of sausages and a lot of spicy. There was nothing here! spicy and no sausages. Liquid soups could always be eaten, even very small ones were given an excellent dietary table, for those who are afraid of getting fat. A lot of potatoes: at least 4 types at a time and all delicious (this is rare for Turkey), a lot of vegetables. Delicious salads. Meat to choose from, but mostly chicken, also tasty. I believe that if you want to eat normally and feed your children well, it’s better and you shouldn’t wish, everything is normal. But, there are no barbecues on the grill. Fish 2 types. There is no food on the street, everything is in the building. Ice cream: 1 hour in the afternoon, no in the evening. Sweets wow! Fruits: apples, oranges, plums, mush mula, watermelon, melon, peaches. What is tastier is sorted into bags on the beach, you have to come to the opening of the hour of food. The restaurant is convenient, but they will not run around you 3 times. Rating: 5-.
Number:
The standard room is not large, everything is optimal, ancient Greek elements, statues and drawings are everywhere, it is nice to look at and there is where to take pictures in the hotel. The bathroom is small, the closet is narrow for hangers. Easy to take away. The floor is laminate. No carpet. There is only liquid soap in the room. So take the rest of your own: cotton wool, sticks, shampoos, hats are not given. Rating: 4.
Animation:
Invisible during the day, here and there they will quietly gather a crowd and play with people. Children's animators are super, children adore them and cry when they say goodbye to them. Evening entertainment: interesting dance shows, concerts. Nobody dances in the discos in the yard, but there is a playground and music. They say that everyone danced in a disco club, which is in the building - I didn’t go, I don’t know. Rating: 4.

Internet:
wi-fi in the lobby for free. In some rooms of the main building, it is also missing. Score: 4
Hotel:
The hotel is beautiful. There are very few shops inside - 5-6 pieces. Everything is not cheap. Rating: 5-.
Spa area:
none. Everything seems to be there, but somehow it is not comfortable, the service is average. Rating: 3.
The beach is very big.

Large garbage is removed, but sand is not sown by cars, such a la Soviet beach. The canopy and sunbeds are great! The sea is shallow, the depth is small at a distance of 50 meters from the shore. Children - the depth is super. This coast is all windy, you can see such a geographical location. It is never very quiet. There are: either average waves to jump or almost calm, but with unrest. You can't put a child to sleep in the wind. The sea is not the cleanest: there is sea grass, which is torn by waves and it is always at the very entrance to the water, and it is not immediately removed from the shore. You need to understand that you will go to the beach for 10 minutes. Through the territory where there is nothing. To hide the unfortunate view, green nets were stretched along the edges of the corridor, not beautiful. There is an electric car, carrying constantly those who do not want to go. Almost everyone travels. Pleasant driver, the children are delighted with the ride. They also feed on the beach, fast food, edible.
Pools and slides:
If your child is waiting for a slide, you will hardly find a better offer in all of Turkey. I've been looking for these slides for a long time. 5 huge wonderful slides, like in a cool water park. My son appreciated it. Pool one, very! big, like a mini-sea on the street near the hotel, there is so much space, different fountains and massage and simple, that most do not go to the sea. This is a very big advantage of the hotel. There is also a mini-pool with a tiny slide up to 5 years. There is a full house, they bring a lot of children, and everyone, like toads in a pool, has enough space and is very comfortable. Rating: 5+. There is an indoor pool, cozy, where fire victims from the beach rest.
Shopping:
They take it to a leather store for free. Who needs to buy a beautiful skin. thing: take 500-700 USD minimum. There are things for 400 USD. and 1.5 thousand c. u. Who is going to buy fur: a chic mink coat can be taken for 3.000 USD, of course, there is also a long sable for 14.000 USD. The store is not cheap. But in Kyiv it costs at least 20% more, in Moscow - 2 times more expensive. It is necessary to bargain at least knocking down the price indicated on the label by 60%. I peeped that this was the allowed threshold. My prices are inclusive of discounts. I chose a thing for 1300 USD. brought down the price to 500 USD half the store gathered to make a decision, I took out 500 USD. and said - there is no more money, give and give. Products - 11 thousand items, a lot of things from fashion collections, I will say this: there are no simple black jackets. I bought red leopard skin, lasered, with rhinestone inserts and lined with black mink. I bought it because it is definitely a novelty, and we will have it in two years.
Some observations:
1) It seems that everyone speaks Russian and Ukrainian. There are few other nationalities, very few. Lots of Russian speaking staff from service.

2) They wanted to check us in after 14.00. Arrived, then we until 10.00. I was outraged. Then I quietly gave 20 USD. and we were settled quickly and cool. Other tourists with 15 rooms who came with us were waiting, like there was cleaning.
3) I would say that there are many little things that this hotel does not hold up to 5 *. The most annoying thing is that they are easily eliminated, but not corrected. After all, it’s not a problem for waiters to run faster, to clean the shore well, to run to the client in the spa area, to settle right away. It can be seen the top management there relaxed very much. I give the management a C grade for the work with the staff.
4) Did not describe other services, did not use the fitness room, sports program and other entertainment.
