I had a rest with a child of 5 years from 10.11.24 to 18.11.24
The hotel is a paradise for those who want to practice German) Staff, guests - all speak German (well, they know English too)
The hotel was switching to winter mode, so the restaurants on the street were no longer working and the pier was dismantled. The water park was also closed because the water is not heated there.
The sea was invigorating, but it was still possible to swim. The air is 26-28 degrees, the water is about 21-22 degrees.
I was specifically looking for a hotel with a spa included.
He's beautiful! Two Turkish saunas and two steam rooms. There is even a shower of impressions) Heated pool inside and heated pool outside. Isn't it a thrill to warm up in the sauna on a cool evening and swim after soaring outside in the rain?!)
The spa is open from 9 to 19, at any time you can come and use it for your pleasure.
You can ask for a bathrobe at the reception - it is not in the room. They give it without collateral (at least they didn't ask me)
Also, if you have a late flight, you do not need to extend the room, because you can change clothes, take a shower and clean up at the spa. There are lockers with a combination lock in the locker rooms to leave your belongings.
Restaurant. The food is great. This is the first time I've seen something that tastes good, no matter what dish you take! It is simply impossible to stop eating))
There are a lot of meat and fish dishes, mushrooms in different types every day, freshly prepared smoothies.
There are a lot of cakes and sweets. in general, it is difficult to leave without weight gain (
Yes, you can't take food yourself - a specially trained person imposes it. It pisses me off, of course, although on the other hand, you yourself would have put in three times more and not eaten half.
Children's club. The child went there with pleasure.
Firstly, because cartoons were included there (they have a whole cinema room, but for me this is a fat minus)
Secondly, because for any craft or activity later at a children's disco he was awarded a diploma)
They returned with a pile of crafts and diplomas.
The hotel is located near the airport: they were brought first, picked up last but one - no need to ride for two hours in all the hotels.
In general, I liked it. In the season, perhaps, I would not dare to go here - there are probably a lot of people..
And in the off-season it is very pleasant to be here, I recommend it.
PS. You will not be able to smoke a hookah on the territory of the hotel - you need to go out into the city.
We had a rest in early March, I really liked it
The hotel was still in its winter concept, so not all functions were available, the outdoor pool in front of the hotel was not working, the bars on the beach and on the territory were also not functioning, but it is understandable why. The staff prepares for the transition to the summer season, minor repairs, cleaning. Inside, the service is just a buzz, the spa center is open, two heated pools inside and outside, the food is excellent, you can't stay hungry. The bar is open from 8 to 02:00, there is always plain water everywhere, and a refillable mini bar in the rooms
The pier on the beach is dismantled, but we were lucky with the weather, it was +23-25, we managed to sunbathe, we also managed to swim, although the sea has not yet warmed up, the water is somewhere +15, but tolerable, I hope to return to this hotel sometime in the summer season to feel all its functionality at 100%
The construction of a new building does not interfere at all, sometimes you can hear the sounds of work, but it is tolerable
We were alone with my husband on March 7-16. I rate our stay at 3 out of 5. Overall, a good hotel with good infrastructure, but, as they say, there are nuances: with service, a contingent of vacationers and a construction site, which significantly spoil the impression.
Of the advantages:
Location: The hotel is a 15-minute drive from the airport: the first to arrive, the last to pick up.
The territory is large and well maintained with an extensive children's area.
Meals: Buffet with dishes served by the chef. The food looks delicious and aesthetically pleasing. Wonderful desserts. No one touches the food and you don't overeat too much.
Rooms: Spacious, newly renovated rooms with good sound insulation (neighbors have never been heard, and no sounds have been heard from the hallway). Daily cleaning and change of towels. Large and warm outdoor pool.
Of the cons:
The service leaves much to be desired. There are few waiters in the restaurant, they prefer to serve German guests (probably because of the tips). The reception also shows indifference to the requests of Russian guests, unless they pay on top. No one speaks Russian at the reception.
Active construction is underway on the territory of the hotel (a 7-storey building on the Nirvana side and welding work on the Titanic side), the noise can be heard from 8 a.m. to evening. Even with the window closed, the noise could be heard.
Inconvenient location of the spa area and the pool (cold corridor between the hammam and the pool, lack of a relaxation area). Bathrobe rental with a deposit of 20 euros per piece.
There is little choice of entertainment (music in the lobby, boccia, darts, table tennis).
Long queues at the beach bar, even with a small number of vacationers. There will also be wild queues in the restaurant during the season.
Now the contingent of vacationers was so-so (loud companies, drunken brawls, night songs and fights). The noise from the street until 3 a.m. greatly interfered with rest (we had a room with a view of the sea and the central staircase on the 5th floor).
Given the active construction (which will last until July), problems with the service and behavior of some guests, I do not recommend the hotel to those who are looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay. If you do decide to go, be sure to take earplugs and be prepared for possible inconveniences.
Also, in the winter season, I do not recommend taking sea view, it is better to pay them extra at the reception, maybe they will give you a better room. Right now, everyone is watching either the construction site or the bar, which is open until 2 a.m.
There is no currency exchange in the department, the exchanger is across the bridge and to the right to the signboard, near the gas station the exchange rate is very low.
We used Yandex.Taxi, which is much cheaper than the taxi drivers offered. We drove from Antalya in the evening for 420 lira (11 euros). We traveled often, the price is not fixed in the application, they write an approximate price, usually it came out: the initial price of the application is +50-70 lira, depending on the purchase. The application requires a mobile internet connection.
