A Great Hotel! It looks very new, with good service, beautiful numerous lobby halls with chandeliers, stucco and comfortable armchairs, delicious welcome drinks, 2 huge swimming pools, an excellent adult water park, many food outlets (restaurant, 2 beach bars, separate bathroom.a line in the aquarark area with snacks), azure sea and clean sandy beach !!
Further nuances of rest in May:
1. The most important disadvantage for me is smoking everywhere: at breakfast on the terrace, on the beach on a nearby chaise longue, on the seats during the program, on the playground. The hotel favors this, ashtrays are everywhere!! In this family-run hotel, you need to allocate non-smoking areas!!
2. In May, the pools are very cold, 22-24 gr. Especially in the children's water park up to 5 years old. What's the problem for such a big hotel to warm it up at least? In the sea, the water was warmer than the pools on May 9th.
3. There is an indoor pool, but the water is 25 grams maximum. The situation would be saved by a hammam, and it has a direct door from the indoor pool area, but it is closed and you need to run around the street 100 meters. Take pity on the guests, open direct access to the hammam and sauna))
4. Water park: the coolest adult slides from 10-12 years old. If the water hadn't been icy, we would have skated. Teenagers skated, but many with blue lips, because you still need to climb the stairs wet, you freeze in May.
There is a mini water park for children up to 5 years old, micro-hills, but the water is icy, it is in the shade, and no one warms the water, although the depth there is 30 cm.
A huge disadvantage is that there are no slides for children 6-12 years old. I walked through the hotels on the left and on the right, there were excellent slides separately for 6-12 years old. For some reason, this did not turn out to be in our family hotel-water park.
5. Beach: nice, sandy, entrance to the water is pebbles, corals will not hurt. Due to the elongation of the hotel in length, the beach is small, you will not notice this in May, but in the season you will not be able to lie on a sunbed and see the sea. The pier is a separate sadness, it looks so shabby in comparison with the piers on the right and left, where there are bungalows, sun beds and bars, but even that was disassembled 2 times in a week and never assembled. Only the view spoiled it.
A huge disadvantage: there is no towel collection point on the beach, only in the spa area, which is located before the breakfast line, it is very inconvenient to return. But the most incredible thing is the norm of 1 towel per day!!!I haven't seen anything like it yet. This is absurd, and it needs to be changed urgently. I even thought it was the idea of 1 employee, but no, it was all repeated.
6. Territory: large, modern, bars are stylishly decorated, loft furniture. Who needs a garden and trees, there are practically none here ((The territory is tiled (very clean). There is no lawn or hammocks either. For a walk, one path along the hotel leads to the beach and the second in the building. There is not much place to walk, outside the territory, including the office of the mini-bazaar. You can get to Land of Legends, I highly recommend the show at 21.30-22.pm! The theme park -water park itself is open until 17.00. L of L is a great place for walking, lots of shops, beautiful territory, free, because it is a boutique gallery.
7. The program of the hotel: I really praise the evening program, it was rich, themed parties with a correspondingdesign (caught Hawaii, Barbie and the 80s), shows, guest artists. A mini show for children. Everything is great!
The children's club is located in the farthest corner of the hotel (from the sea), it will definitely not work to hand over the child and go to the sea, it will take 20 minutes to return there. You will have to sit near the children's pool. Another point: the composition of the guests is very international, while the girls in the club do not speak English, only Turkish.
8. Food: There is a lot of food, but it is very simple. There are no marine delights, there were no barbecue parties.Cheeses, greens, boiled meat of all varieties are in abundance. Trays of divine baklava+++! There are not enough steps to the beach bars for children, the bartenders do not see them. In others .There are hotels.
9. Rooms: nice, modern, white linen, cleaning is so-so, often sand remained on the floor, towels were changed 1 time in 8 nights. But they made swans, thank you))
Overall, the hotel is good, many people will like it! Demanding people have something to provide for.
It was our first time with a child! We really liked the hotel, everyone is polite, the staff is excellent, everything is beautifully done, the designers respect, you feel comfortable, despite the fact that there are mostly few Russian speakers, but at the same time everyone understands each other. In the evening, I was impressed by the variety of events, especially the decorations! We lived in room 5111, excellent floor, the maid was nice, always cleaned, even the sign was not hung, everything was always clean and the tents were changed, every day! In short, we really liked it, by the way, the food was also varied every day, we went from 06/12/24 to 06/21/24. And we were very impressed with this hotel!! The child also liked everything, he didn't even want to go home! Thanks to the employees, great success and prosperity!
We had a rest together from September 20 to September 25, 2024. The food is delicious, the food is fresh. Several types of meat, fish every day. Alcohol is of high quality. Every day there is a children's program in the evening and an adult program after. The staff is polite, not everyone speaks Russian. There were no queues in the dining room. The territory is large. Everything is clean. The rooms are not cleaned very thoroughly. But what they asked to do right away was to add liquid soap or paper to the toilet. The standard room has 2 beds, a single and a double. The air conditioner worked well. We arrived early in the morning, we had to wait for check-in until 14 o'clock. We just changed our clothes in the toilet and went to the sea and continued to explore the sights.
The minibar was replenished every day. There are always free sun beds near the pool. By the sea, you can find a free sunbed only early in the morning. The entrance to the sea is good, pebbles and sand. There were practically no waves. The water is clean. We liked it.
I must say right away that the hotel is wonderful in its price category. A budget 5k, but very decent. The choice was between 4* in Alanya and this 5* in Belek. I am very glad that this hotel was chosen. At 4* for the same money, there was paid ice cream and paid Wi-Fi, and the absence of a water park.
So, the location is great. Only 40 minutes from the airport. Check-in is true at 14.00, not earlier. But you can eat immediately upon arrival.
The rooms are quite spacious. There are several buildings on the territory. In general, the territory is huge, there are also a lot of people. You have to be prepared for the crowds in the restaurant and the search for empty seats.
The food is quite tasty and varied. Several restaurants and bars. There is a preliminary registration in Ala maps. I didn't go because I was alone with the children. There is a separate mojito bar: classic mojito, with strawberries, with passion fruit, etc. Ice cream is really free all day, many different flavors. There are also a lot of cakes in the Pastry Shop. The food was good, there was salmon and tuna. There are a lot of cakes at dinner and a lot of fruits of various kinds.
There are shops on site, a children's club, children's slot machines, cinemas, a spa, a gym. You don't have to leave the territory at all, and there's nothing to do there. There are only pharmacies and shops with clothes and souvenirs.
In the evenings, the animation is for children and adults, and there is a separate stage with a DJ for dancing for adults.
The sea is gorgeous, the beach is sand, there are small pebbles at the entrance. It is quite normal to enter without shoes. Sun beds are always available. There are many Europeans and Turks in the hotel. And they smoke a lot, it's easy on every corner. Well, in general, the hotel is family-run. Lots of kids.
We drove without requests, knowing perfectly well the cost for which we were going. The hotel justifies its price and its stars. I definitely recommend it!
On his birthday, a cake, a plate of fruit, a box of razat luhuma and a bottle of wine were brought to the room.
The minibar is free and refillable. There is always water and soda. The water park has cool slides, but the water is cool in the pools.
The waiters are doing great, they are trying very hard. The cleaning was average, but we were quite satisfied. Thank you for a good rest.
October 2024. The hotel is a typical representative of the Turkish mass market in its good execution. Luxurious lobbies, a huge territory, which is all built up with buildings, an aqua park, swimming pools and various terraces, verandas and other locations for tourists. There is no park, the hotel is stretched very much from the mainland by a narrow strip to the sea. The landscaping is spot-on: along the main alley and in places where it was possible to plant something. Of course, other hotels are very densely located nearby. The backyard of the hotel overlooks a large local bazaar. There, as usual, the perfume "boss" can be traded for 10usd. Accommodation: they were hospitably accepted to the hotels, everything was ready, check-in was very prompt. Room: spacious family room, two rooms with a train, many Windows. There is a large terrace in the room, a decent bathroom. All this is really spacious by the Turkish standards of such hotels. Room cleaning and towel change are not performed at all until you go to the reception and register the stars to the staff. Beach: it's decent to cut to the beach, you have to go through the entire infrastructure of the hotel, bonus: you can go inside under the condors, it's not hot. The beach itself is sandy and pebbly, equipped with densely packed and eternally occupied by invisible sun beds. The invisibles have been throwing towels and other things everywhere, probably since 7 a.m., piling up these fucking sunbeds behind them. Then no one comes, but you, having come as a normal person, after breakfast at the sea, can no longer physically use the entire infrastructure of the beach without the risk of scandal. Well, to hell with the sunbeds! Let's go and put towels right by the sea. There is always a place. The entrance to the sea is quite gentle and comfortable despite the pebbles, there is a pier and an entrance to the sea for people with limited opportunities. Spa: the hotel has a free area, it has a hammam and sauna, a couple more saunas are not working, plus a steam room. The indoor pool is quite large and pleasant. The hammam and sauna are ordinary, without enthusiasm. The locker rooms are disgusting, half of them don't work. Towels are not provided at the spa, because there are not enough of them for everyone. It all depends on the time of your visit, get up earlier. Activity in the hotel: animation is not intrusive, during the day it is very weak than usual in large Turkish hotels. For me, that's a plus. There were not bad shows in the evening, there was also live music sometimes. Food: 70% of the food is slag, but the remaining 30% is very high quality. There is always a good main course in the form of fish and/or meat, excellent greens, good vegetables. Wine is served in bottles-bullshit, hard drinks at the bar are normal, there are international ones. Now the cons: the hotel is very huge and noisy, there is continuous overbooking everywhere, wherever you come. If you are a little late, then there are no plates, then there is no place to sit, then cutlery. It's endless. People can come to dinner in their underpants. This is normal. The waiter will serve you wine in faceted glasses and tell you that the glasses are out. The tables for dinner, however, as always, are cleaned with disposable bib napkins, on which cutlery is simply laid out, if you are lucky. There are very few places on the veranda, there is always a cue ball. It is difficult to find a place there. Do not try to hand over a beach towel without getting a new one in return! Otherwise, they will give you back your card and tell you that there are no more towels, come to your room. By number: it stinks of sewage in the bathroom, even to tears in the eyes. The universal Turkish word tumorou is always found on requests to fix it. He constantly spilled water into the ladder and sink. It helped badly, because when the neighbors drained the water from above, the hydraulic seal was broken. Apparently, this is how the local sewerage works and the hotel staff, of course, knows all this.
Great hotel. There is a little variety in the food. They settled in almost immediately. There is ice cream everywhere. Delicious baklava. The children liked the hotel. The temperature in the first decade of August was 43, the sea and the pool were hot. The beach is excellent sandy, with a small pebble at the entrance to the water. All day long, food and drinks were served in various bars. The price will be cheaper let's go again
The food quality is quite decent
Although I would like more variety, especially seafood dishes
The room itself is quite decent, although I was somewhat surprised by the lack of bathrobes and slippers
There are eight or ten buildings here
Only the seventh has access to the sea and a restaurant, so there is a true Babylon here. However, if you don't want to crowd into a restaurant, you can have a snack at 3-4 fast food outlets. There is less choice, but the quality is excellent
Drinks are an order of magnitude lower than dolphin and barut, even the lobby bar
I found only rakiya and Smirnov for myself, well, of course it's for an amateur
Yes, I almost forgot - there are no teaspoons from the word at all
The staff, like everywhere else, is mostly young and diligent
There is a well-equipped gym
In general, if you just relax and swim, then it's quite
It's okay, we like it, we're happy to come back. There is a lot of food, varied, you can always find something to eat. The service is provided by normal staff. The rest is great, the alcohol is all strong, the cocktails are good. Rooms for 4. Children always have something to do, a water park and much more for the very little ones.
The beach is small, there are a lot of people, there are not enough sunbeds,
I believed the reviews and was disappointed!
We had a rest with a child (3 years old) from the 15th to the 22nd of September.
+ natural ice cream (huge selection without restrictions)
+ the staff will help in any situation, they are very polite and responsive.
- Checked into a terribly dirty room (photo attached)
- upon arrival, the bus dropped me off at the bottom, I had to climb the mountain with a huge suitcase and a baby in a stroller.
- there is no map of the rooms and the hotel (for a long time we could not figure out how to get to the room) and what is where.
- there are too many people, the beach and the restaurant are not designed for such a number.
There are more people on the beach than in Anapa during rush hour. And the restaurant looks like a station canteen. They just don't have time to clean up.
- Children's water park with ice water, no heating, also in the shade.
- At the end of the trip, we got a rotovirus.
- Cutlery is simply not to be found.
- The dishes are washed very badly. There are leftovers on clean plates.
- the choice of desserts in the restaurant is meager and the children's table leaves much to be desired.
We stayed at this hotel in July 2024. We liked it - the hotel is huge, there are a lot of people (it didn't bother us). Sometimes I had to look for a place in a restaurant for dinner. Food for different tastes (someone wrote that there is no variety-not true!) There are several types of meat, fish, there is a diet table, a children's kitchen, a lot of fruits, vegetables, ice cream. The animation is great, professional bands performed. Rooms are poorly cleaned-this is a fact! The beach and sun beds are also dirty. I took off the star for cleaning and the beach. I definitely recommend it, especially with children!
Very cool hotel, very tasty Pina collada, mojito was delicious. Rescuers are very sociable with young children. The slides are very steep, there is a water park for adults and a water park for children. In the evening there were both children's shows and adult shows. There were also shows for both children and adults
Great hotel!We rested from June 22 to the 30th. 2024It is not the first time in Turkey that there is something to compare it with.As for the territory, it is huge, there is enough greenery. There is just a lot of food everywhere .There were a lot of fish and salmon , slightly salted trout and Colmar .Chickens of all kinds. Stewed meat Stews are varied . Roast beef on a spit .It melted in my mouth. Beef tongue .It 's a long time to list everything !!!I sincerely do not understand who has little food in the reviews.The beach is normal. If people weren't pigs and put their cups in the trash and steers behind them, the beach would be cleaner. When I was with the Turks, the girls threw steers into the sand several times 😨The staff are doing well, they are trying to be very polite!!! We always had enough space in the restaurant. And there were 6 of us. I recommend the hotel!!! In 8 days, no one got sick or poisoned with anything !!! We had a 9-year-old daughter with us.
The second time in this hotel , I really like everything , the food is excellent , the beach is clean , there are a lot of bars around the hotel, high-quality slides, the only thing is that the queues are large , the pools are large , clean , two stages , everything is provided for children, a large children's club , playgrounds , in general, the hotel is very cool , I advise everyone
Basically, it's cool. But there's nothing to do. A small area for such a hotel. Everything is filled with some kind of buildings. Also, music and shows are played every day in the evening. (you can see the schedule on the table. It is next to the pool.) There is a large swimming pool, and water slides. (Where are the water slides? go down to the 1st floor and you will see a large store and a large long corridor. Go straight ahead and you will see an area with water slides!) They're scary enough. -1 Star, for not having enough territory. As it is, everything is very cool.
The food is delicious and round the clock, alcohol is imported around the clock in the bars in the lobby in the central building.The service is so-so, but if you ask, everything will be done quickly.the room stock of the dead was checked in from the third time (if you eat, first inspect the room, do not go with your luggage).for children aged 5-13, the paradise water park is large.Evening entertainment is not bad at a higher level than in other similar hotels.The territory is stretched perpendicular to the shore, there is no abundance of greenery, a narrow alley leads to the beach.There are many Turks, Poles, Germans, Kazakhs and our mothers with children. I do not advise couples without children.
We were at the hotel in early October.
The territory is elongated: a water park and a mini club are diametrically opposed to the sea. There are no complaints about food - it is everywhere and for every taste. But there are a lot of people during rush hours, there is nowhere to sit, it is noisy. At dinner, I had to go to the tables in the snack bar - it was the only place where it was comfortable to have dinner. The staff tries hard, but with such a density of vacationers, it is not possible to keep track of everything. I managed to get into the fish a la carte. There were many appetizers: squid, shrimp, sea tongue, fish soup, a main course to choose from (we took salmon steak) and dessert. I really liked it, we advise you to sign up right away. At sea, the sun beds were occupied in the morning, since after breakfast it was no longer possible to find a free one. There are no such problems at the pool. The animators are very passive, we entertained ourselves by playing volleyball on the beach. The evening animation for children is quite good, but adults are lucky: sometimes there were cool shows with invited artists, and sometimes electronic music just thundered, decorations were set up for this event and a DJ was invited. We also met musicians and performers of live music in the pastry shop and on the terrace. In the evenings, there is a very strong smell of sewage throughout Bogazkent, we slept with the window closed. The room itself was not killed, we were lucky and cleaned it every day. But I was upset that there were no toothbrushes and paste, the soap in the dispenser did not go at all. Instead of blankets, there is a waffle blanket. In general, there are disadvantages, but this did not overshadow our rest. I advise families with children. There is everything for them: slides, almost round-the-clock ice cream, staff attention. If you want even more slides, there is a land of legend nearby, we drove for half an hour by minibus, paid $ 1.
The rest was a success. I would like to mention the responsive and friendly staff, who mostly communicate in Russian. In the restaurant: clean, delicious, beautiful serving of dishes. A huge selection of food for every taste, including for a child under 2 years old.
Hello, we had a rest in early October,the weather was good,27-29 °, the sea was warm, about the hotel there was a good large and well-groomed territory,only I always had to look for a place in the restaurant, there were a lot of people, there was nowhere to sit, although there were several halls for food, I would like more choice in nutrition, otherwise it feels likethat the dishes are repeated every other day, the selection of fruits is large, otherwise everything is fine, we were satisfied.
A very nice big hotel, lots of places to have a good time. Pools, water slides, beach. Restaurants, cafes, bars for all tastes. In the evenings, there are shows and live music in various cafes and bars. The staff is friendly and helpful.
The hotel is super!!! There are a lot of parties)))
Entertainment for both children and adults) bomb show) fitness programs fire) the mini club is quite large+ the children have their own mini-restaurant there, the mini club does not close for lunch.) We will be happy to come back someday)
We had a rest with a large company (12 people).. and everyone was given rooms nearby . The hotel is huge! They feed me all the time . Helpful staff . I really liked the fish restaurant. A large water park. The girls at the reception are always ready to help.. There are always sun beds at the sea and by the pool.. never borrowed in advance ..Otherwise, the same Turkey-warm sea, sun!
We stayed at this hotel from 15.09 to 28.09.2024. The impressions about the hotel are average. There is nowhere to walk, one narrow road along the hotel to the sea, people crowd, the choice of imported alcohol is very meager, the restaurant is full of people, the choice of food is very small, every breakfast is eggs, sausages, rolls and vegetables. Dinner is also one kind of meat, potatoes, and a bunch of fried vegetables. The food is the same every day, no variety.The juices are disgusting - just sugar.
Animation in the evening is minimal. The worst thing is the lack of cutlery and plates in the restaurant, constantly dirty forks, a soup spoon is not questioned, but dirty ones are brought again. The staff also sneezes and coughs on the appliances during distribution.
Of the advantages, there are many snack bars, there is something to eat, and there are always free sun beds by the sea or by the pool, there are two huge pools with cool water on the territory.
The room was cleaned every day, bed linen and towels were also changed every day. The minibar was replenished only 2 times in two weeks. And one more unpleasant circumstance, after a week of staying, our room cards stopped working, we went to the reception every day (during the rest of the vacation week) to get them connected to us...
Great hotel , insanely big ! There are many cafes / bars , there are many places in the main restaurant , sun beds did not have to be occupied not by the sea and by the pools ! Very cool slides, delicious ice cream and a cafe with cakes)))) the entrance to the sea was not very pleasant , small pebbles , two steps and quite deep - not for children under 10 years old
We are resting here now everything is fine and the food is very tasty and varied and the room is not bad either, only there are not enough sunbeds and the Internet does not catch everywhere and the dishes can be dirty and so the slides are super and the pool is also good I liked it and there are a lot of places and bars and the staff is also good and fast and a lot of concerts the sea is fine rating 4.6
Pros: Great hotel, delicious food, good drinks. The staff hardly speaks Russian, but they are still friendly).
The pools are great. I liked everything, actually. The rest was a success.
Cons: the room was cleaned once in a week and then not even the floor was washed.
The food for adults is so-so. Almost everything in the hotel is for children. And a bunch of slides and ice cream everywhere and children's entertainment. Actually, that's why there is no food for adults, everything is kind of tasteless. There is an evening disco for adults by the beach, yes, well done, the scene is cool with a video screen and a DJ. The hotel is narrow and located perpendicular to the sea, so if they give you a room at the other end, you will have to go, and not a little. The hotel is large, with more than 800 rooms.
The hotel is super, the territory is large, the food is delicious, a lot, varied.Every day and evening there are entertainment programs, including for children. Water park.We had a great rest, thanks for the holiday of the soul.
A very cool hotel. Polite staff. The chefs cook superbly. Cleaning every day. They change the towels. Bed linen will be changed at the first request. It was cool for several days - they asked the reception to bring warm blankets - they immediately did everything. The hotel is just GREAT. I recommend you to visit
I really liked the Crystal Water World hotel, and especially the animator Assel, a wonderful person, always understands the guests and helps.
A very positive girl.
The hotel is good, clean, the animation team, as well as the food and rest in general.
We had a vacation with my son in June. I really liked it. The food is around the clock, the cuisine is varied, no one will stay hungry. A large selection of fruits. Ice cream is free all day, unlimited. The territory of the hotel is large. The sea is clean, the beach is large. We will be happy to come again.
We came for a week with a family of 3 people. At first everything was fine, the hotel is large, the territory is good, I didn't like the food right away - very simple, greasy mostly, not tasty. There are dirty dishes and dishes in the restaurant. On exactly the 3rd day, my husband became ill at first, the next day I, then the child. As a result, we were sick in the room until the end of the vacation. It is not clear why we went, the money was wasted. The hotel is clearly unable to cope with the tourist flow, there are too many people, they do not have time to wash dishes and process tables. Also, the beach area is very small for such a volume. Very low quality for a crystal. Objectively, this is 3.5*, not exactly 5*. The administration blames everything on vacationers, the pool and the sea. But it seems to me that we should start with the service in the restaurant, with the cleanliness of the dishes and there will be fewer flashes.
The hotel itself is excellent, the food, the territory, entertainment, a good water park, a paradise for families with children! BUT the room in which they lived for three, and there is practically no cleaning, only the garbage is taken out, there is a thick layer of dust on the balcony, it is not even possible to go out
The territory of the hotel is large and good
The seashore is not comfortable right away, it is not very deep to swim with children
The room cleaning is terrible, everything is washed with one cloth.they can replenish the mini bar .they may not be replenished.even there were no ear shelves for the top five , the hotel does not shade at least 3 at all . Food is bad, it is impossible to eat baked goods, even Semites are frozen.everything is not fresh. grilled meat or fish feels like it's filled with liquid smoke. The onion rings are constantly burnt.pancakes and cheesecakes are also always over-cooked Juices are diluted with everything. Only the good juices were where the bar was near the reception. We have been to other 5 hotels, there is something to compare with, I will not recommend this hotel to anyone
I write the review more as a comparison with the previous hotel, which was also 5 stars utopia beach club , which is located in Alanya
Positive:
1) the food is much tastier, although it looks the same
2) the presence of water slides (really cool stuff)
3) the hotel itself is considered more expensive and richer
4) more shops on site (I didn't need it, but maybe it's important to someone)
5) ultra-inclusive (because I don't need alcohol, I would prefer that the ticket cost less than alcohol in every corner of the hotel.)
6) several Ala carte restaurants (to me it wasn't necessary, but maybe it's important to someone)
7) a bigger room
Minuses
1) the beach sucks. The beach is a disgrace. Plus it's cash. I don't care about this point, but for my wife it was important. But the sun beds are cooler than in utopia)
2) some greenery
The hotel is great. The food for the first 4 days was wow, then I got bored. The service is solid 5. The rooms are nice, clean. The water park is super. One of the disadvantages for me: they smoke everywhere on the street, so it smells unpleasant of tobacco. There are tobacco butts everywhere on the beach in the sand.
P.S. Fellow smokers, please respect the non-smokers around you, smoke somewhere from the edge and dispose of tobacco butts in the trash. Thank you.
The hotel is huge, like a city within a city: a large number of variations of eating areas, recreation areas, shops, an Aqua park. Taking into account the number of vacationers, the beach area is small, there are not enough sun beds.
Entertainment program👍🏼
An excellent hotel, for its not small size, very well-thought-out locations, that even with a full hotel there is no sense, the rooms are of course a little tired, but clean and comfortable, there are no problems with food at all, every day there are many dishes for every taste, even buckwheat with milk was)))
It's a good hotel for me, the children of 5 and 12 girls really liked it. The room is clean!!!!! On the street, they do not just change the trash cans, but wipe the upper chrome lining for smokers, the toilet near the sea is constantly washed, paper is always used and taps are rubbed. The food is like everywhere +/- monotonous, but the meat is different every day, for 6 days it was: beef, lamb, turkey, chicken. This is the grill, the rest is in the trays. There are many bars, the sprite is watery, cognac is local, whiskey cola flows like a river like beer)))) the slides are clean, large with tubing, the water in the pools is 26-27, the sea in October is 27-28
This is our first time in this hotel, but we will come again, we really liked everything! The food is of high quality, delicious, clean, varied. Every single person of the staff is extremely polite, everyone is friendly, beautiful, trying to help in everything. This is especially noticeable, the service is 5 stars at 100%.
I would like to thank the Guest Relation service separately, the Dam manager responded to my every request, I can say that such care and attention makes staying at the hotel super comfortable. We were lucky with the weather. The sea is gentle and warm. The contingent is mainly Germans, Poles and other Europeans. In a small number of Russians. Age from 30 to 45 years, mostly. Nothing was imposed. Everything is delicate. Restaurants are always open. There are a lot of cafes, bars. The rooms are in perfect condition. There are Russian-speaking staff in the children's mini club too. There are Russian channels.
The air conditioning is normal, we have not been sick even once. There is a bar with natural coffee. There are many shops, you can buy everything you need without leaving the hotel. Garbage is cleaned thoroughly. Nothing is lying around anywhere. We will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends and we will come again ourselves. Many thanks to the staff for their patience, quality, cordiality and professionalism.
Good day to everyone.
It took a long time to choose which hotel to go to for the first time in Turkey in the all-inclusive system, because two little daughters - and the all-inclusive system solved problems with both food and entertainment. We were looking for a hotel in the first line, with animation for children, an aqua park - well, on a moderate budget.
In general, the feeling of the trip is positive, we liked the hotel - we read reviews when choosing a hotel and were ready for certain nuances - I hope my review will also be useful for those who choose it. I probably wouldn't have returned a second time - but this is more likely caused not by the hotel, but by the resort itself.
So about the hotel - large, elongated (although it feels like most of the neighboring hotels are about the same - maybe a little less elongated - but not much different). The territory is quite green, although of course it is not a straight garden. Large swimming pools, a good water park - including a children's one. I will immediately note that I will describe the main part of the hotel - but there are still a couple of buildings across the street, with their own water park - we have not been there. In my opinion, that's where the family 2-room rooms are located. The hotel was built in 2013 - which, in principle, is slightly felt by the condition of the room and some small things on the territory - but very clean
I would like to mention good free Wi-Fi throughout the territory - and even a little bit at sea)
Good staff who interact directly with vacationers.
According to the weather, we were very lucky - it was up to 34-35 in the afternoon. The sea was 30 degrees - we really liked it. By the end of the vacation (the last couple of days), waves began to appear - not only in the evening, but also in the morning. By the evening in recent days, they were getting right big - you don't really buy with small children - but maybe it's seasonal. With children over 5, you can swim at all at any time - you just have to catch them with the waves)))
I will describe it in blocks approximately for structuring information
Number
We had a standard room in the building next to the water park - it was the most remote building from the sea. We liked the logic of the room very much - first there is one space with 2 beds for children (ordinary single beds) - a TV, a bedside table, a place for a suitcase and a refrigerator; then there is a bathroom and a large wardrobe - and behind the door is the second part of the room with a large bed, another refrigerator, a TV, a table and a balcony. The balcony is large, 2 armchairs, a table, a heated towel rail.
There are 2 air conditioners in each half-room. They worked well - but we must keep in mind that if the door to the balcony is not closed at least a little, they will not turn on - in the first couple of days they did not immediately realize this and thought that the air conditioners were broken. Then they got used to it - but we must keep in mind that after each exit to the balcony they must be turned on again.
The beds turned out to be very uncomfortable for us - the mattresses are very hard, literally everything hurt after them, and with a cumulative effect. You can also say no to blankets - it's more like big waffle towels or something...In general, I can't say anything good about the beds - I didn't like them.
There is also a lack of a trash bucket - especially with young children. There is one bucket in the bathroom in the room, very small - which is not very convenient in the presence of garbage from small children.
Room service
Here's a real minus....It's not critical for us to have new towels every day - but for 10 days, 3 days, our room simply wasn't cleaned. Even if we went to the reception and asked to clean the room. And despite the fact that there is only one trash can, it is very unpleasant
Our minibar was not replenished during the entire vacation - the refrigerator (one of 2) was replenished only 1 time. The second one has never been replenished. It is clear that you can always find a drink on the territory - but sometimes in the evening you wanted the same cola - and the main part of the bars closes at 6 pm.
The story also turned out to be not very clear - he left tips on the pillow - and left coins on one of the refrigerators - in order to throw them out into the sea and into the Tip BOX of the bars he liked on the last day. The day before departure, they all disappeared - apparently someone decided that this was also a tip .... the amount was ridiculous - a total of 50 lira - but nevertheless the sediment is very so-so. Again, I had to change the bills for coins on purpose once again (it was good that there were bills left). In general, I highly recommend not storing any amount of money anywhere other than a safe - well, or in open form - apparently the cleaners consider this their legitimate prey.
Beach
The beach is not bad in general. It must be understood for sure that the sand there is clearly imported and is located in the area of sun beds and in front of the entrance to the sea. The entrance to the sea itself is small pebbles in the surf line, medium during descent and large ones further down at depth.
Sometimes it was painful for small children to enter - they had to carry them in their arms. It's definitely better to carry it on your hands - your feet get stuck in pebbles - and the waves are strong for children - so you carry + X kilograms on small pebbles yourself - it's not very easy)
It also becomes very deep very abruptly - literally in one step the depth becomes from the knees of an adult almost to the chest. One more step - and it's already up to the shoulders of an adult man. Therefore, everyone with children is forced to fit on one narrow strip with a width of literally 3-4 steps - crowding, especially in the morning, is very big. Sometimes you run right into each other - especially considering that not all adults swim in the distance..... There are fewer people in the evening.
The beach is well provided - there are a couple of blocks at the main entrance where you can wash your feet at the exit, there are 5 separate showers and a changing room (although they are not very clearly located). There is a beach bar - and from 11 to 17 there is a snack bar by the beach. There is also a Snack bar near the beach (just on the side of the showers) - you can also get drinks and snacks for beer there. True, the beach bar has sooooo dumb bartenders - there are three of them, but in terms of efficiency, it's like there's one brake. They can pour the wrong thing, there is no separation of who serves whom (and there is an approach both from the beach and from the terrace). In general, they are stupid, slow down and confused - be prepared for this.
There are enough sun beds - we really didn't have time to go to the beach at 9 a.m. in the first rows - but at 6-7 in the morning you sit down without problems. In the evening, everything is more relaxed - in general, we did not see any problems here.
Food
Meals in general for 4 + or 5 -
There are some bars, snack bars, canteens along the entire hotel - it's difficult to stay hungry.
It should be borne in mind that there are a lot of people for breakfast and dinner - be ready for this.
The food is not bad - Ice cream, Local sweet on the buffet, Good cheeses and pastries, French fries)). Meat is somehow sadder - sausages are not about anything at all, the kebabs were decent only for one day, the rest of the time there are cutlets - but they are so-so.
Good burgers and shawarma. For breakfast, I really liked honey in honeycombs and butter whipped to it - there is a solid score. Very tasty baklava - but European-type cakes and pies, despite their appearance, are just stupidly tasteless (sweet and all for the same taste, despite the type of different format and color)
In bars they pour sodas, juices (but very chemical), milkshakes (also chemical). I've tried alcohol a couple of times - they seem to interfere with local producers. Not bad - but nothing special. And for how much they spill past when mixing - whoooooo....It's really painful to watch.
Very good ice cream - there is a point in the center of the hotel - open from 11 to 23
There is also ice cream at dinner and at the restaurant by the beach. they apply as much as you want and as much as you want.
Water park and swimming pools
The water park is very good - it works from 14 to 16.45 and in my opinion in the morning - but we were always at sea at that time.
There are slides where you have to ride on inflatable circles - there is almost always a queue behind them - but you can wait and still get a circle. Cool Cobra slide - but there's always a queue.
There are slides where you go down without circles - there are almost no queues there.
You won't roll too much - but rather because they are high - about 4 floors - and you can only walk) So if you roll down 6-7 times, you won't want to anymore)
Good children's slides - there are always a lot of children actively riding. The only negative is that it is noticeably colder) I don't know why - but because there are also different jets everywhere, it's just cool to be there.
We swam in the large pools a couple of times - mostly at sea and on slides. Good pools, clean, do not smell strongly of bleach. The depth is 1.4 meters
Outside the hotel
There is a small town nearby, not exactly a town, but a bazaar or something. There are several ATMs, an exchange office, good pharmacies, shops with all kinds of clothes, souvenirs and sweets. In general, buying souvenirs home is quite enough. All prices are indicated in dollars and euros - but they are also converted into lira in principle.
Total
The hotel is worth the money. If you do not expect megapathos from him, then you will have a great rest. There are some disadvantages, but they were not critical for us as a whole.
The hotel is wonderful, recently checked in, the food is delicious, walk quickly to the sea, very large slides, good rooms, the staff speaks excellent Russian English and Turkish
We had a rest from July 5th to July 15th. We arrived at about 11, they said they would check in soon, as a result, they checked in after two. This did not upset us, at that time we managed to swim in the sea and go to the water park. There is enough food, everything is quite tasty. I especially liked the mini cafe with cakes and pies. But the ice cream was higher than the cakes, there were 12 (or more) types per day. Every day, all the species did not change, but a couple of species changed for sure. The rooms are good, our room had a view of the neighboring hotels. The air conditioner worked well. The Internet is great. The staff is polite, those who do not know how to speak Russian try to understand and help as much as they can. The room is cleaned every day. The territory is large, we were so surprised when we saw it! The beach is large, there are clutches of turtle eggs. The sea was cool for a few days, the rest of the days are super! Great for a big family vacation!
We visited this hotel in the second half of June 2024. The hotel is simply gorgeous! Everything in it is at its height - the food (meat, chicken, fish, red) is at its height, the service is also, the beach is its own.
The room was for two with a sea view. The room is clean, cleaned daily, the mini bar is replenished (cola, sprite, mineral water, just water, local lemonades).
According to nutrition, there is absolutely everything in all types of cooking- fried, steamed, boiled, and grilled. Everything is insanely delicious. You will not stay hungry there at any time of the day! The waiters are like bees - they immediately clear the tables as soon as the customers get up and leave. If you have ever taken wine or beer, they will remember you and what you drink - and they will bring it to you every time! Well done guys!
On alcohol, everything is very cool! Good expensive alcohol, both imported and local. Delicious cocktails are being prepared!
There are various ice creams in unlimited quantities! It's very tasty!
Once a week of rest, you can visit the a la carte restaurant for free (we chose the fish one). They are different - Turkish, Mexican, Italian.. and some more.
The territory of the hotel is very large, green and well maintained. Its own large beach with a pier and a pantone. The sea is crystal clear. Early in the morning there are quite a lot of fish (of course there are biting ones, But they only bite when you stand in one place). These fish are clearly visible from the pier. There were always enough sun beds, all of them under canopies. There is also a bar on the beach where you can get something to drink and eat. The beach itself is sandy (very clean, shallow. In the evenings and at night, the sand is cleaned and loosened). Entering the sea- small pebbles. Then sand again. A very cool evening program for both children and adults.
There are guards everywhere and always, so you don't have to worry about safety. The entire staff is extremely polite and friendly, always ready to help with any problem.
There is a hammam in the spa area, and a sauna is free of charge. But if additional services- massage, peeling, etc. - are for a fee. In general, both the bathhouse and the hammam are more than enough. From there you can go out and take a dip in the indoor pool. There are a lot of pools on the territory and they are all clean and comfortable. There is a water park for both children and adults. There are queues, of course, for the highest slides. But nevertheless, everything is moving fast.
I think I've told you everything briefly. Next year we want to visit this hotel again! I recommend it to everyone, especially to married couples (the hotel is family-run, there are no bomb parties). Everything is on top! Arriving there, you will definitely not regret it!
the reviews of this hotel are very different and some, in my opinion, unreasonably bad.
we had a rest from September 19 to 26, there are a lot of people in the hotel, but due to the fact that the hotel itself is large, people settle down and spend their holidays quite comfortably. there are also a lot of children in the hotel, but they didn't bother much, because they were in the water park area (where we didn't go)
the food is normal, there is a lot of it, it is delicious, but not super diverse (we had fun: tuna, lamb,sushi, beef).
there are a lot of bars with different drinks on the territory, as well as a beach bar and a bar in the water park, which always have food / drinks and a coffee shop near the lobby, where there is an unrealistic amount of sweets / ice cream / desserts/ sandwiches
the rooms are a little tired, the cleaning was very good if you leave a certain amount of lira (the towel was always changed, even without lira)
the staff is polite, smiling, always tried to understand/ help, as it seemed to me everyone knows a few Russian words by type: thank you, please, in short, everyone will understand you (at the bar they calmly treated drunk people who could not connect two words, understood everything perfectly and poured something)
that's the only thing that I really didn't like was the evening animations, there were few of them, maybe a couple of times a week, and everything else disco time with bumbum music, daytime animations take place in the pool (they seem to be normal from the outside), there are also a lot of animations for children.
the beach is too small for this hotel, but if you come to a place around 8-9 in the morning and you will be comfortable, there is also a disgusting pier that is clearly very bad and it would be better to remove it from there altogether. the entrance to the sea is small stones, it hurts to enter, but it doesn't take long to go because the depth immediately comes)
the conclusion is this: I can recommend this hotel to people who have not been to hotels like Gloria, Rixos and other side hotels, with a high pricing policy (prices have risen a lot and in reality 24 years this hotel is good for your money)
A fantastic hotel. This is not the first time we have rested here with a child. There is everything you need for adults and children. A gorgeous water park, lots of pools, food for every taste. The staff is very polite and will help you solve any issue. Thank you very much 🎉☺️
Nice big hotel, clean. The animation is on top. Every day there is something new and at a high level. But the kitchen has significantly improved compared to 2020. Yes, you will not stay hungry, but you should not expect gastronomic delight. The price for such a hotel is too high
We were at this hotel from September 27 to October 5, 2024, I will leave my personal review of what I liked and what I did not like.
I'll start with a pleasant one. I was very impressed with the animation, well, it's like +1000% Such cool concerts every night, just fire. Two large stages, first for children according to the tradition of "aram zam zam" and not only, then performances by various acrobatic, dance and ballet groups. The guys perform great. Immediately after the end, there is either a disco with a DJ or live music on the second stage. Everything is very beautiful, bright, with fire, with girls dancing, a laser show. There are different sets on stage every day.
There is a good water park, there are cylinders for skiing. Quite a large area. There is a good snack bar, there are even 3 of them. There is a coffee shop on the 1st floor for free, there are a variety of teas and cakes. They play the piano in the evening. There is a playground. There are a lot of sun beds, but considering that the hotel has more than 1000 rooms, it is better to occupy them before breakfast, which starts at 7 a.m. There is a pier, it is convenient to swim from it. By the way, entertainment events are also held on the beach during the day, although not every day. In the snack bar, children's trampolines were inflated. The water in the pool is cold. The indoor pool is warm. The main restaurant is not very large by choice of food, but it seems to have everything, modestly and angrily. Turkey with vegetables on the grill is especially delicious. There is veal for dinner. Soups are not very good at all. Often sour ones are probably heated several times. The fish on the grill is basically always the same sardine, sometimes sea bass. Lots of fruits! Alcohol, good vodka, not bad beer, cocktails are so-so. The hotel is large, and it has many buildings. We were in the main, lucky.
It is very inconvenient to go to the water park, only through the main building! And the slides work for several hours with a lunch break. The room has everything you need except an iron. Wet cleaning, change of towels is not every day. Shampoo, balm, lotion only upon check-in. The bar was also not refilled after check-in. There is no beer in the bar in the room!!! This is critical for me. I like to sit on the balcony in the evening with a beer. And running around with a glass in the lobby is not very convenient. There is no light on the balcony, you will have to sit in the dark. When checking in, the light in the hallway did not work, we contacted the reception, and immediately repaired it. I take off one star for all this. You can, of course, buy in migros, where the most reasonable prices for beer are. It is located a little further from the hotel. We went there on a moped, which we rented near the hotel for 350 liras.
If you go directly to the left of the hotel and once again to the left there is a bus terminus. You can take a ride on the 22 bus to the Belek shopping center for 30 lira and I will not tell you the price to Altalia.
In general, the vacation was a success, the sea was warm.
Очень большой отель, при этом весьма грамотно распределены рестораны, всем всегда есть где поесть. Стол понравился, очень большой выбор, хотя и без изысков, но на любой вкус. Маловато рыбы, зато много сладостей, очень вкусных. Неплохое местное вино, вкусное мороженое и прия ный выбор коктейлей. В Ирландском пабе почти нет пива, 3 или 4 лагера и все - удивились :)) Номера небольшие, удобные, но уборка так себе: остается много песка на полу, грязные стекла и зеркала, много уставших деталей. На двухспальной кровати одно скромное покрывалко. Климат-контроль отличный, но непросто разобраться, а мануала нет. Пепельницу на балконе вытряхивали дня три.
Аквапарк классный, НО: работает с 10 до 11.45 и с 14 до 16.45. С учетом количества гостей очереди километровые, пропадает все желание кататься. Отличная детская зона и детский клуб, можно сдать ребенка на день. Бассейнов два больших, есть сауна и хамам со своим прохладным бассейном и джакузи.
Большинство гостей - турки, поэтому анимация на турецком с вкраплениями английского и русского. Шоу каждый день: детские, потом взрослые, ночью диско или концерт на отдельной сцене до 12. Звукоизоляция в номерах неплохая, так что не мешает. В бассейне днем тоже веселят.
Приятный пляж, много лежаков, всегда есть свободные, можно нырять с пирса. Единственное метров 30 от тентов надо идти по раскаленному песку, не хватает настилов.
In general, it's fine! If you do not take into account that there is always a queue for any benefits. Whether it's a water park or a bar.
The beach is small.
The animation is good. There is an entertainment program every evening.
There's good booze in the bars,
The staff is slow. But you get used to it quickly.
The rooms are of course already covered.
