I am writing a review in hot pursuit, while still here, after a week of rest in a large company of friends and children)
In general, an excellent hotel, really 5 stars, but as always there are + and -, namely:
Advantages:
1) a great big kids' club, children of all ages really like it there and have something to do throughout the day, and in the evening they watch cartoons, up to 23 hours for sure
2) a large number of bars, I counted 15 pieces in total!!! It is clear that they all do not work at the same time, but there are really a lot of them here!
3) a large number of staff, and inconspicuous and friendly, which makes tourists' holidays comfortable, clean and fast. Basically, everyone knows Russian.
4) European alcohol, i.e. baileys are baileys, not analogues, martinis are martinis, etc., and at all bars, not just in the lobby
5) on the beach you can always take ice cream in a cone, delicious
6) there are no problems with sun beds, there is no need to occupy them in the morning in advance
7) a water park with cool mountains, even adults are breathtaking))
8) Children's pool and one heated pool
9) I recommend a ride on a banana, a local barker offers this walk for 40 bucks, which is an inadequate price for a banana, as a result, we bargained for 20 bucks per person, there were 10 of us, with 4 children for free, and as a result we alone occupied the entire banana, the walk lasts about an hour, they take us almost to Kemer, they take you past picturesque places and caves + swimming, in general, a worthwhile excursion, not like in Sochi)
10) the food is generally delicious and varied
11) there is a pier with its own bar and you can dive into the sea from it
Of the cons:
1) not a large hotel area, only 3 swimming pools, including 1 children's pool
2) I didn't really like the evening shows, out of 8 evenings, 2 were good shows, the rest were nonsense, and we found 3 discos in the club, in general it was cool.
3) you will definitely gain extra pounds))
4) I would like to see more greenery and fruit trees
A perfect vacation together 🙏🏽 we thank the SWANDOR team for their excellent work. A beautiful modern hotel, opened in the summer of 2023 after renovation.
Lobby with an interesting design and a welcome bar with drinks, offer to try real Turkish coffee with Turkish delight, interesting serving, incredible coffee. You can take nuts, delicious, different types - almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, cashews. Delicious lemonade, and water with mint lemon, try it for sure.
There are rooms for late departure to the airport, but you need to book in advance, a rest room, as well as full access to the hotel after the room is vacated.
We arrived at the hotel at 9 am, check-in at 14:00, they gave us maps to take towels, showed us where the restaurant is and we went for breakfast. Breakfast is varied, porridges, pancakes, fruits, sausages, casserole, soups, potatoes, vegetables, in general there is everything!
We had breakfast and went to the sea, the beach with pebbles. The pier is beautiful, there are a lot of sun beds, they are occupied from 6 am (1 line), the pier bar opens at 10:00, you can take ice cream at the beach bar.
There is a spa, hammam and other services, I really liked it, we went in the first days so as not to spoil the tan😅
There is a pastry shop above the bar near the spa, here, as the guide told us, you can gain an additional 3 kg. Peculiar sweets, but the ice cream is decent. There are cappuccino and espresso and much more)
The Ultra system provides access to food 24/7.
I liked the animation more during the day, I went to yoga and stretching, the girls are well done, they conduct classes very harmoniously and interestingly. We were not very interested in the evening animation, but there is something to see, one day there was a party, a club was opened, DJs played, beautiful, noisy, for an amateur.
There are shops on the territory, this is a plus, you are not accosted on the beach. There is tennis freely available.
The hotel offers transport to the city, but with its own conditions, they call in the definition of shops as advertising, we did not take, we drove ourselves, the cost is $ 1, € or 50 lira, it's easy to get there, everything is written on the buses. We went to Kemer and Antalya before Migros
The only negative is a very cold pool
We went at the end of October for a week.
The biggest plus of this hotel is the beautiful sea! The food is quite tasty, but the desserts are tastier) we lived in an updated building, although the safe did not work (which the reception took a very long time to figure out). Customer focus is at zero (we observed that many people quarreled with employees). For the most part, the hotel is good for relaxing at sea. For another, the average
