The hotel is wonderful! Wide beach line, beautiful sand, pleasant entrance to the sea, plenty of sun beds. The service is top-notch. Of course, the hotel is aimed at Europeans. We knew about it when we stopped by. The animation is in German, and the staff knows it perfectly. But if you speak English at least a little.and even more so in German, your vacation will be even more enjoyable. Clean, well-maintained territory, nice walk to the beach. The bar in the room is always replenished, coffee, tea, alcoholic beverages are available on site without restrictions. The best part is that mostly adult couples stay at the hotel. There are no clusters of restless and noisy small children, a relaxing holiday for those who do not like parties. Just relaxing...

A wonderful 5* hotel for a relaxing stay. The party people will be soooo sad. We had a rest together on 30.08-07.09.25 . I have been vacationing in Turkey every year since 2006, there is something to compare it with) 1. Number We got a room in the main building on the 4th (last) floor. It is quite large, with a balcony, clean and well maintained, although the interiors are not "instagrammable". The room has one large double bed and an additional double bed. Pros: the air conditioner, refrigerator and safe were working properly. The mini-bar is free, refilled daily. We immediately provided towels for the shower, beach and bathrobes. It's as quiet as a bunker. Cons: the plumbing let us down a bit - the taps were hard to open (it was uncritical for us). The view from the window was of other buildings (they were lower), but there was a very good view of the sunset and a little bit of the sea. 2. The hotel grounds The territory is large, beautiful and very well maintained. Despite the large number of people, due to the competent zoning, there was no feeling of crowding. Swimming pool: one large pool with a separate children's area and two slides. There was no struggle for sun beds - free places by the pool and on the beach could be found at any time. Beach: perfect! He's the reason I chose this hotel. The descent along the comfortable and beautiful wooden path takes about 5 minutes, there is a shuttle. Sandy, clean, without rocks. The entrance is shallow, you need to go to the depth. There are many sun beds, all under a canopy. There is a bar nearby where you can have lunch, but the choice is poor (fast food and vegetables). 3. Nutrition 3.1. Main restaurant (buffet): Dinner: huge and delicious! There's something new every day. Themed dinners every other day (I don't recommend Asia, they can't spin rolls). I recommend that you first check what is being cooked outside: roast lamb, beef, chicken, pancakes and shawarma. Breakfast: Mediocre, standard set: vegetables, sausages, porridges, fruits (apples, plums, pears), pancakes, omelets. Lunch: More modest than dinner, but more varied than breakfast. 3.2. A la carte restaurants: There are Mexican, Asian and Turkish restaurants. We visited only Turkish and were very satisfied. The portions are huge, you need to go very hungry! 3.3. Snack bar by the pool: From 12:00 to 14:00 — pasta, sandwiches, pancakes are prepared. From 14:00 to 16:00 — fast food, vegetables, buns, ice cream. Drinks: alcoholic beverages are mediocre. There is not much imported alcohol. There is a cocktail menu - passable. There are waiters near the bar, but it's faster to approach the bar yourself. If you give the bartender $10, the assortment becomes more interesting. 4. Animation and entertainment The schedule is in the elevator, but we didn't participate. There are no standard Turkish pool dances during the day. Sometimes there are games (we've seen them twice in a week). There is water aerobics (more like fun for an animator), darts, archery and yoga. It's more interesting in the evening. There are cover bands performing at the main bar. There was a beach party once and a White Party once a week. Very impressive, I recommend it! In the amphitheater, according to experienced (me) in Turkey, there is nothing to do) Kids' club: I've seen it, but I can't say anything about it. 5. Staff and contingent The staff is pleasant and always ready to help. Animation and communication are mostly in English and German. There are few Russian-speaking employees. Contingent: 95% of vacationers are elderly Germans and Poles. There are very few Russians, and mostly 40+. 6. Location and transfer We took a large bus from Antalya Airport at 1:20 (the hotel was the second stop). There is nothing within a 5 km radius except a large market (10 minutes on foot). How to get to the cities: minibuses (dolmushi) stop right in front of the hotel to Manavgat and Side (30 minutes on the way). A trip to Antalya: energy-intensive, but possible. You need to take a minibus to Manavgat (to the bus station, the final one), then take a bus to Antalya (another 1.5 hours). Life hack: It's better to go back the same way to the end. We tried to take a shortcut and got off at the Waikiki discount, waiting for the minibus for 40 minutes. Don't repeat our mistake! Result: The price-quality ratio is 100 out of 100! I highly recommend it for a relaxing and relaxing holiday) Who is NOT suitable: Party-goers and families with young children who do not speak English/German (the animation will be incomprehensible).

I had a vacation with a family of 6 people with a one-year-old child in the second half of June 25. We really liked the hotel, for me it's a 3 trip to Turkey, before that I was in Goynuk at 5* and Oludeniz at 3*. There was a hitch with the check-in, with the second room, but this was due to the desire to settle us next to each other. I had to wait a bit in the lobby, but the bracelets were given immediately upon arrival, they were fed and watered. As a result, we checked in around 14:30, and the second room was given at about 15:00 The rooms are too small for my taste, both family and double, while they are clean, tidy, look like new, and there was nothing frankly worn out. We moved into building D, the furthest from the beach, pool, etc., the windows were on an almost unused road and a nearby hotel or condo. In general, it was quiet, calm, and we were quite satisfied with it. Food. Everyone was satisfied, both adults and children. Grilled fish every day, a plentiful snack bar on the beach and by the pool, 10 types of ice cream, 2-3 types of pizza, 2 types of burgers, hot dogs, guzelme, local variations on hot sandwiches, potato chips, waffles, spaghetti, something like wok, chicken a la KFC, onion rings, French fries, rustic potatoes, salad bar, grilled chicken, doner kebab, fruits. There were queues at the restaurant for dinner, but not critically, there were Turkish, Mexican and seafood day themed days. Seafood - sushi of several types (although they are not very good), shrimps, crayfish, squid, mussels, shells of some kind, something else that I did not know. There was enough of everything, except probably shrimp and strawberries, they were running out very quickly. I have never been to lunch, I ate at a snack bar. My friends went, the choice is good, but there is nothing special to note there, there were two or three types of soups, but as usual, they do not know how to cook soups abroad. The breakfast is classic, the choice is quite rich: eggs in all forms, 10 types of cheeses, different cuts, vegetables, fruits, pancakes, porridges, guzelme, fried dough, breakfast cereals, etc. There was a children's menu, but we had everything, we ate like an adult. There was an opportunity to eat around the clock in a separate bistro, the assortment there is limited, but you can starve a worm, fruits, salads, eggs, sweets Alcohol. There are no comments here, for every taste. Whiskey, vodka, gins, wines, champagne, liqueurs (even Amaretto was), usually 2-3 types in total and of normal quality, without local flavor, by default they pour the cheapest, but on request they pour what you want. They make cocktails both alco and non-alco, the quality of cocktails depends on the specific performer, there were complaints from his wife a couple of times, but in general it's OK. The beer, by the way, is also decent, not watery, as I have seen on previous trips. Queues at the bar occur periodically, but resolve very quickly, there were no permanent queues. Drinks can be ordered while sitting at a table, and they arrive quickly, as there is a separate "window" on the bar for serving waiters. The contingent. Mostly Germans, at first it seemed that we were the only Russians there, but after a couple of days they brought more of our compatriots. The staff is of course German-speaking, there was one Russian-speaking young lady in the lobby who was completely Russian, with the rest either English or German. Europeans of different ages, mostly of course, are already close to retirement or already on it, and young families with children. There were especially a lot of children at the end of our vacation. Beach. You have to walk to it, but within 5-7 minutes, on the way back, climbing to burn calories is the best thing, but it can strain someone. There is an option to take a golf cart, but this is completely different. The beach itself is sandy, but not as sandy as in Thai, there will be pebbles, there is also a pebble strip at the entrance to the water, i.e. especially picky feet can be crushed) There are enough sun beds on the beach, there have never been any problems with placement. There is a snack bar, a bar, a locker room, a toilet, a shower, three volleyball fields, you can play football, there is a gate. Near the beach there is a point of water entertainment, parachutes, jet skis, cheesecakes, bananas, etc. The sea is clean, the sand is generally clean, I regularly observed cleaning in the morning. Swimming pool. The depth of 1.4m without heating, with sun beds is tense, latecomers can relax on the lawns nearby. There is a pool for an aquapark with a depth of 1.2 m, but it is not suitable for slides or swimming. There is a children's pool with a canopy with a depth of 0.4 m. The child swallowed water several times, everything went without consequences. Animation. Some kind of unrestrained fun was not noticed, as a rule, everything ended at 23:00, the format of the hotel, in general, does not imply this. There was a belly dance, a party in white, bingo, Las Vegas (although we didn't get there, I don't know what it was about), a disco on the beach. During the day, the pool is used for aqua aerobics, air rifle shooting, darts, table tennis, and you can play lawn tennis, basketball, and soccer. I would also like to mention a children's glade with fountains, an overturning bucket, various watering cans, etc. It is very suitable for both children and adults. Territory Not big or small, there is a place to sit in the shade, without noise. There are several hammocks, but they are kind of worn out, i.e. you lie down in it and you find yourself on the ground)) There is a tennis court, a children's corner with the already mentioned watering holes, a rope park, but it did not work, and a minifootball field. There is a large green glade with sea views and sun beds, but it was not in demand because there is almost no shade there, it's a long way to go to the pool as well as to the sea to refresh, and there is no shower and the bar is far away. In general, they need to finish this zone. Service Overall, it's OK. The hotel manager is constantly on site, you see him 3-5 times a day, walking, watching. The staff is mostly friendly and smiling. The location of the hotel. This is probably the main disadvantage of this hotel for me, because it is located on the outskirts, it is clear that they are still developing this territory, there are a lot of vacant lots. Of course, there are some shops nearby, but they are absolutely nothing. it takes 10-15 minutes to walk to the nearest more or less civilization, the nearest Migros is also not close, but in general you can walk. There is a public transport stop near the hotel, but we took a taxi. Up to Side 22 euros. When you swim in the sea, the view of the shore is so-so, I compare it with Goynuk and Oludeniz in both cases, there are mountains, etc., but somehow I don't understand what. Cleaning. I didn't like the cleaning, not that it was dirty, but it didn't feel like we'd just stopped by. This applies to both rooms, the same maid cleaned, tips did not help. We met a Russian family, and they also noted that they didn't clean very well. Overall, the hotel left a pleasant impression.
