We had booked a standard room, but we were upgraded to a family room. Huge thanks to the manager for that. Because, as it turned out, the standard rooms have very small corner windows. Whereas the family room has a large window and a spacious balcony in the main room. There are flowers everywhere on the balconies, giving off a pleasant aroma. The room interior is ordinary, without any decorative elements. The blackout curtains were a nice touch. But the fabric strip on the bed was all stained. We also weren't provided with any disposable toiletries. After we requested them, they brought a whole bag of various items. We asked for a quiet room, and they gave us building 7, which is the furthest building from the reception and all the nighttime entertainment. However, you can still hear the music in the room, but it's not critical. The shows at the hotel are good, with themed parties. You can stand in front of the stage or watch from the sun loungers. The hotel is located across the road from the sea, but it's a 2-minute walk. Plus, there's a transfer (golf cart) that also shuttles to the beach and back to the road. Hotel positives: 3 pools – two large ones and a children's pool, and waterslides. Plenty of sun loungers on the grounds and a huge number on the beach under a canopy. Food outlets are open almost all day somewhere. If you missed breakfast or lunch at the main restaurant, there's a bistro that operates 24/7, with the exception of a short break. There's a huge variety of food, everything is delicious, and an excessive amount of desserts – it's unclear why so many. The vanilla soft-serve ice cream is very tasty and located at the mini-bar between the pools. Overall, it's a family-friendly hotel because there's a lot of entertainment for children, a large kids' area, and master classes.
Cons:
The huge number of guests (8 buildings) + children in a not-so-large area simultaneously create a lot of noise. The same applies to the main restaurant. We solved this for ourselves by going to the 2nd floor of the main restaurant, which has a roof. It's always quiet there with very few people, so you can have breakfast and dinner peacefully. For lunch, we went to the bistro, which was also quiet and peaceful. During the day, we went to the beach (it's sandy, unlike the Konyaaltı area). There were also few people there (it was May and the sea was cold), so it was a great setting for sunbathing and walking along the sea – very peaceful. In the evenings, after 5 PM, we returned to the pool where most people had already left or were sitting at the bar near the main restaurant. You can still swim and sunbathe there nicely.
Cons regarding drinks:
The hotel is not prepared for guests who don't drink alcohol heavily. There are no non-alcoholic cocktails on the menu. At the beach, I asked for a non-alcoholic mojito – it was just mint water. I asked them to add at least some syrup for flavor. Non-alcoholic beer is unavailable; they suggested we go to a store for it. We tried two different cocktails at the bar – they were terribly unappetizing, pure alcohol, and the proportions were off. The only time there was a themed cocktail by the pools was a Daiquiri. That was tasty and well-made. Otherwise, they just pour to pour. Drinking water is not available in the main restaurant. There's some kind of fountain, but I couldn't figure it out. I asked a waitress for help, and she said she didn't know how it worked. I only found water on the 2nd-floor rooftop in a juice dispenser, which I discovered myself. There are no waiters in this restaurant who offer you drinks; the flow of people is so great that they often don't even have time to clear the tables.
There's a bus stop near the hotel, so you can reach other areas by bus. There are shops, a pharmacy, and trips to leather factories. You can rent a car and arrange excursions.
When choosing a hotel, you need to understand what you expect from it. Overall, everything here is good, but for us, it was very noisy.
