So, I'll start.
In May 2021, I was supposed to spend 10 days in the most luxurious and unrealistically cool Calista hotel, but due to the so-called political intrigues, I was left without rest and 180,000 were stuck in Turkey. And I had to spend the month of August in this so-called "LUHARI" hotel for the same money.
Before going, we chose for a very long time and agreed to beautiful nature, wonderful beaches, gorgeous views, high-quality food, a good program and excellent service - all this was not just based on reviews on the Internet and YouTube reviews, but also from the words of a person who has already vacationed here 2 times at different times.
And so, after passing the fast track ($ 60 people) at the airport, driving a Mercedes ($ 35 people), we go to the hotel... eeeeeee....
Hello! (The employees were warned in advance, by letter, from the company that sent earlier that tourists were going for the third time) neither tea, nor coffee, nor water, after more than an hour's drive, nor anyone offered. They immediately said that WiFi does not work on the beach, there is no night kitchen and they do not put us in the appropriate rooms. And to the question: why are the prices so high for what you do not provide, you learned the answer in the first 5 minutes of arrival, YOU ARE RUSSIANS, YOU HAVE A LOT OF MONEY!!!!!! And then I realized that I would not leave this just like that. As you are to us, so are we to you.
Then it followed:
- The attitude at dinner: everyone gives "through the lips", no one greets, everyone is like a deadbeat.
- We almost had to clean the dishes from the table ourselves
- The mini-bar, which is kind of free (only water and Coca-Cola, from 7up) has never been replenished.
- Only one of the 5 ala-kart restaurants is open.
- There are no towels, and if there are, they are washed and it's time to throw them away.
- The room in which they settled was located above the dining room, it is not possible to open the balcony at all!!!!!!! The answer to the replacement of the room was: the hotel is full (and even with such a face).
I must say right away, I earn money with honest work and they get it fairly, so I really assess the situation.
NATURE - 5 - beautiful, wonderful.
BEACH 2 is small and there are always a lot of children, but they can't go anywhere else.
PIER - 3,5 - first paid (deposit) beautiful and stylish, the second one is normal - everything is fine, the third (zone 16+) there is no service and proper attitude and respect.
The SEA - 5 is the purest and most beautiful bottom.
SERVICE - 2 is mediocre, not attentive, sometimes even dismissive.
THE FOOD is no higher than 3.5 - without frills and magic, everything is lean (without gloss) one kind of fish and sometimes a variety of meat.
LOCATION - 3 - decent and pleasant, 35-40 min walk from the city
THE DISTANCE is 2.5 - from 1 to 1.5 hours, be sure to take lunch boxes so that there is something to occupy yourself.
The ANIMATION is 2.5 - sluggish, in the form of jelly.
WI-FI - 1 - even in the lobby, consider that it is not there.
Price/Quality - 100/20
Therefore, I will never recommend this hotel to anyone.
My personal estimate is the Red price for 10 days, in season - 70,000 ₽ ($1,000), not 180,000 (2,000 €)
I liked the nature, Panton beach and good rooms.The intensive care is weak , the food is a poor choice of meat and fish , the staff is diligent and attentive , the cleaning is weak , the reception is glass and tables are all in divorces , everything except the territory for 4 with a minus
For the 4th time we are staying with our family in this hotel. Excellent audience, normal rooms.for 10_15 dollars. You can negotiate and take something more comfortable. Excellent cuisine. Wonderful evening shows. He fully corresponds to his status. Yes, of course there are better ones, but what will be the price. Last year, my wife and I decided to return to the Antalya coast.It feels like I went to my native Gelendzhik. One audience is worth a lot. Noise, hubbub, queues at restaurants.
I recommend the evaluation of the 4+ hard drive to everyone.
I really liked Marmaris, the sea is transparent there!! Lots of turtles, very beautiful!
But there is one thing, but! This is what it is impossible to live in thickets where there are some creepers, and the like! If you leave something on the balcony of food, herds of ants come running in a crowd, there are a lot of bees and wasps because of the flowers above the balcony. But as it is, everything is fine, and even excellent! Well done
The hotel itself is not bad, but it definitely does not reach the top five, so the four with a slight stretch, they took a family 2-room room, so there were no windows in the second room, the pantry was comfortable, but everything that should work worked, plumbing, electrics, air conditioning were not used, it was cool, WIFI does not work everywhereAnd where it catches, it also makes you nervous. The adjacent territory is of course a separate song, above all praise, but there is no beach at all, a pier and a little sprinkled with sand along the concrete embankment. I didn't notice the water park and slides, it was cold, maybe in warm weather I could work. I also did not meet a separate children's zone, The food is not bad, everyone can choose according to their taste, BUT you can fly half an hour before the end of the meal. The staff is friendly, without arrogant extortion, special thanks to the hotel manager Anna, the counter is against the reception, a very sympathetic and responsive person. If you are not going to spend the whole vacation at the hotel, I recommend it.
The hotel does not reach 5 stars, there are already places that need renovation. But for those who are not picky and are more determined to get positive, the hotel will like it. The hotel has excellent entertainment programs for children and adults. The program is always varied and rich, very spectacular and bright. The chefs of the hotel surprised us with national evenings (we got to Mexican and Turkish cuisine). Polite and efficient staff. And the most beautiful nature and sea views.
Good territory, everything is local and convenient.
Excellent air and the clearest, but slightly cold sea. The service is on the level . The rooms are comfortable.

Minuses
1. In 2019, it is wild to imagine that a hotel of this level does not have normal wi-fi coverage. By normal, I mean that the network operates throughout the hotel and its operation is not noticeable to guests throughout the entire stay. You (it seems on purpose) made it so that guests constantly suffer, because the network is not caught in the rooms (although in my No. 147 it is caught in the toilet (and this has a definite plus :)), near the pool, on the beach. But the network is caught in the lobby, it slows down terribly, disappears, breaks off and yes, there are only 12-13 old uncomfortable sofas in the lobby.
2. The advertising catalog says that you have beach volleyball - this is a lie, you have a slippery concrete playground, it is dangerous to play on it.
3. The basketball court is given over to parking, the basketball court, which is located near the beach, is not allowed by the guard after 18. One day, the basketball hoop was simply taken away in an unknown direction.
4. They clean poorly, towels are not changed.
5. The animation is very weak, it feels like they work from 9 to 18, especially the Russian guy.
6. There is no door between the rooms in a two-room room, although there is one in the brochure. It's not very comfortable without her. This is another deception of the hotel.
Positive
1. Very nice area, nice pools.
2. Good all-inclusive meals.
3. Excellent promenade to Marmaris.
4. Delicious coffee in a cafe near the beach.
5. There are free sun beds by the sea and pool at any time. There are no problems with seats in the restaurant.
6. The hotel is on a slope, so you have to lift a lot up and down. It's not stressful for young people, it won't be comfortable for older people.
7. Tuk-tuk stop near the hotel, 3 lira and you are in the city.
A cozy hotel, comfortable rooms, a variety of delicious food, an interesting animation program

It's a stunningly beautiful place! The sea is clean and pleasant even in the heat... And if you do not pay attention to the fact that this is not quite a top five, then it is a very good place for a family holiday with children. Locals practically do not rummage around the beach... In general, I give up unconditionally!
