A wonderful hotel! We had a rest in July 2022. Excellent location, 5 minutes to the sea, 15 minutes to the center on foot, bus stop 2 minutes from the hotel. The breakfasts look like a good five-star, but there is no fresh). Very green, nice big enough pool. The attitude of the staff is very friendly, any requests were immediately recorded and, if possible, executed. We definitely recommend it.
+ the sea is across the road (the entrance is between slabs, stones, but you can find places)
+ green area (though not well maintained)
+ new clean swimming pool
- the staff is not Russified
- the hotel is as ancient as a mammoth
- next to the annex with chickens and roosters ("ringing" from 3-4 hours at night)
- doors, wooden windows - zero sound insulation
- the curtains are ancient, gray from old age and dirt
- bed linen with holes, stains, dirt
- towels - with yellow spots
- the refrigerator - not the refrigerator, so the bedside table - left the room, took out the key, it turned off. What's the point of it then?)) We lived in other hotels - the refrigerator was always on.
- the ceiling is dead...
- the furniture is ancient, the chairs are stained, the ceiling lights are broken
- dust is everywhere
- there has been no cleaning in a week
- the stench from the sewer during the day in the bathroom from the drain in the floor
- the water pressure is weak, the shower head was cleaned by themselves, it ran out of 3 holes
- cleaners are just creepy, bums are more beautiful)) she shows the number, walks in with her shoes on, the second one smokes on the threshold...
They only came to sleep so as not to notice all this))
The overall impression is like a small sanatorium or boarding house. Quiet, peaceful, good atmosphere, convenient location. For those who are going to get to know the country, and not hang out at the hotel. We understood where we were going, so we had a wonderful experience. For 9 nights from October 6, 85 thousand were given from Krasnoyarsk for two. It takes about 2 hours to drive from Antalya airport.
The weather was good. It's about 30 degrees in the afternoon, it's just hot. It's cooler in the morning and evening, locals in jackets in the morning, and tourists in swimsuits. The sea, of course, is not like in the height of summer, not fresh milk. But not to say that it is cold. When you come in, it invigorates, then you get used to it. It rained 1 time at night for a long time and once in the afternoon a fine mushroom rain.
breakfast
Standard Turkish, every day there were boiled eggs, 2-3 types of cheese, olives, olives, avocado paste, greens, tomatoes and cucumbers, 2-3 types of sausage (I liked only the type of ham) sometimes there were croutons, sometimes local pastries, always a loaf. Sweets include individually packaged jams, honey, and tahini. Fruits of one kind, melon, apples, bananas, watermelon were given all the time. Several types of meze (local cold appetizers by type of sauces).
drinks
Tea from a thermopot, coffee from a coffee machine, cream was mixed separately, dry, water in a cooler. There are several types of sodas in the bar, but we did not use the services of the bar, we also did not know about alcohol, we did not drink at all.
dinner
Vegetables in various forms, the dream of a vegetarian 😂 meat is only nuggets of questionable taste and strange cutlets, I did not like it. So, lunch was always easy - zucchini, eggplant, pepper, tomatoes in various forms. There are also several types of meze, greens, vegetable salad, carrot, cabbage. Turkish soup according to the type of mashed soup, different types, mostly all delicious. There are no sweets for lunch, only 1 type of fruit.
dinner
The same as at lunch. For meat, the situation is usually better, fried chicken was given 2 times. There was no fish.
All the food is delicious at home, we ate to empty plates (not counting cutlets, sausages and nuggets, they were fed to local cats).
I counted 5-6 people from the staff. 1 guy at the pool bar, he sweeps and washes the sunbeds. 1 man at the reception. There are 2 girls who work in the dining room, one of them is still cleaning the room. One man is some kind of handyman, also walks around the territory, sweeps, etc. The hostess walks right there, as other guests explained to us - an elderly woman. Everyone is friendly, smiling, friendly, knows a little Russian and English, you can communicate without any problems.
Number
The hotel has 3 buildings, 2 near the pool and 1 in the depths. We lived on the 4th floor in a building near the pool, the Windows overlooked the pool and a piece of the sea. The building, which seemed to me to be newer in depth (judging by the railings, tiles), but it was not inhabited, there was a zone for covid (if someone gets sick, judging by the information leaflets).
The furniture in the room is old, it looks cozy in its own way. Large mirror, large panoramic window, lots of light. The mattress is quite hard, the pillows are tired, my neck ached to sleep, but I have a problem with it. My husband was fine. To hide is a thin blanket. Towels are 2 large, 2 for the face, 1 for the legs. They even turned all the beauty out of them, I left chocolates and cute notes ☺️ There is also a TV, hairdryer, air conditioning in the room (it worked properly).
Of the cons - the refrigerator gurgled, prevented a good night's sleep. There are no accessories in the bathtub, only a dispenser with liquid soap and a tual.paper. Bottled drinking water is not left in the room. An uncomfortable watering can in the shower, you should always hold it in your hand when you wash. The water flows cool at first, you need to wait until it gets hot (the husband washed first, therefore). And there is no shelf in the shower for shampoo, I put it on the floor. In the evening, it began to smell like sewage.
We took towels for the pool with us, they are not here.
THE TERRITORY OF THE HOTEL
The pool is medium-sized, the depth is from 130 to 175 cm, the water is clean, it is comfortable to swim.
The large pool bar did not work, only a small nook near the children's pool. They played music in a quiet background.
The territory is small, but very green. It's just great for a city hotel! There are many fruit-bearing trees and flowers. It's interesting to walk around and look at everything! From what I found - banana, avocado of 2 types, lime, oranges, grapefruit, guava, figs, persimmons, grapes, dates. Walking, picking, eating from a bush, for a resident of Siberia it's just a fairy tale in reality! There is a lot of greenery, a lot of foliage falls, but it is swept and cared for as much as possible. There is no special gardener here, it does not look polished, as in expensive hotels, but like a slightly abandoned garden.
There is a table for tennis, table football, but we did not play. There is no animation, of course, WiFi in the lobby is free, you can buy it all over the territory - $ 2 a day. We took a SIM card of 20 GB of Internet for 170 liras in a mobile phone store and a supermarket. A family of cats lives on the territory, 6 pieces, funny. The staff is chasing them, and I was feeding them. There was also a bar near the dining room, but it is closed.
location
Very convenient. There is a bus stop next to the hotel, there is a bus 1 and 101, both to the center. The route can be viewed on the Internet. In general, it is better to download the map in the navigator and navigate by it. There are many shops, cafes, travel agencies, everything you need nearby.
sea
A public beach across the street, small pebbles and slabs of natural origin. We swam barefoot, without corals, it was quite comfortable, but we walked carefully on the stove, it was slippery. We swam with a mask and fed fish there, I counted 4-5 species, there are beautiful colored ones.
The promenade by the sea is landscaped, a long embankment, benches, fountains, exercise equipment.
leisure
We went to the port, walked to the lighthouse, went to the red tower, the shipyard, the cave, Cleopatra beach, went to the local grocery market, from shops to Migros and Alanium, took excursions from local agencies Side and Managvat, Cappadocia, I advise everyone. In general, the city is full of entertainment. I advise you to download the navigator map and use it. We have been to Turkey 4 times, and each time we discover something new.
