Pool

Just back from a 10 day stay at this hotel, well where do I start!
On arrival my friend and I were put in block 5 yes we got pool view if we wanted to stand and look out window, balcony view was trees not good , we did get change of room to main building with pool view to which we were very happy with.
During change of room I left my necklace, and when I enquired about it nothing found, well I hope the person who found and kept it is happy with it ,it was very sentimental to me as it was a locket with a picture of my late mum and I inside.
I am not one for lying about the pool always prefer beach but in this case not a chance, beach so cramped not even space to fit your foot between beds and you get charged £10 per day to use pier ( shocking ) 
This is the worst all inclusive hotel I have ever stayed in I’m glad it wasn’t my first stay in turkey as it would have put me off ever going back,
You get charged for everything Wi-Fi well this is a joke you get charged per device £15 per person , room safe chargeable and as I said the pier .
We found the majority of staff to be rude and never smile.
While eating in the restaurant I was attacked by the resident ginger cat it broke the skin on my hand , when I went to reception to ask if they had any antiseptic cream 2YOUNG BOYS laughed Not acceptable.
2nd day in no red wine for dinner ITS FINISHED!
Then NO VODKA FINISHED FOLLOWED BY NO RAKI FINISHED My friend who is diabetic was told no cola light go to shop and buy it yourself this is unacceptable and disgraceful.
As we no option but to stay by the pool we choose to use the upper decking sun area during our stay we witnessed it got a spot clean twice in this time not good, drinks left from night before along with food rubbish ect .

Not 4star hotel would avoid 

Some of these reviews honestly make me fear for the intelligence of my compatriots. Let's get one thing out of the way - this is not your usual British Holiday all-inclusive with free-flowing drinks and drunken people roasting by the pool. Thank goodness for that.

It has to be said though that the hotel caters mostly for Russian tourists (99% of the visitors are Russian) and that can be felt in some of the interactions with the staff, who have a limited command of English and as such I think can come across as not super nice. I had pleasant interactions with all though. 

From other reviews I gather that some of the further hotel buildings are terrible, I was in the annex just in front of the hotel and I have no complaints. The room was spacious enough, and while not the height of luxury it had everything I could have needed. The Aircon worked really well and kept the room at a good stable temperature throughout (no bouts of freezing air Vs heat). The balcony was a nice addition though no views so a bit underwhelming. The room was cleaned daily to a good standard and all towels replaced, no complaints about the housekeeping staff.

The main hotel building is nice and well maintained. The pool is small but I always saw it empty - probably because there weren't a lot of guests when I visited. Everyone here seems to prefer the beach anyway (as do I).

The beach Is on a lovely bit of coastline. Pebbles, but this shouldn't come as a big surprise and appropriate shoes can be purchased in the corner shop. The only issue here is the size of the beach - it's so small that sunbeds have to be placed very close together and there's only so many in the sun. I think I would have found it frustrating in high season, having to move from shade to sunshine and not finding any room. I can imagine how that would impact some people's experience of the place - I would wager the hotel has expanded beyond what is feasible with the extra buildings. 

The food I found of good quality, with an above average buffet for an all-inclusive. Breakfast choices were limited, but lunch and dinner were fine, with very high quality food, if sometimes a bit bland. I was glad not to see tourist baby foods like chicken nuggets, it caters to people who eat real food. I did miss some Turkish cuisine staples though - no iskender, doner meat once but without pita bread etc. Overall though it was good, and with plenty of seating. 

I visited the spa and purchased the "Turkish bath package", which was pleasant. It seemed a bit too rushed throughout and the staff performing it were nice, but spoke no English so communication was pretty hard. The pricing was a bit much considering it was practically what I paid for the room per night (£40 for the 90 minute package) and the staff were competent but again, a bit rushed. I didn't check the time throughout but found myself back in my room exactly 90 minutes after the appointment, so overall it must have lasted 1hr tops.

WiFi was good and with great signal on the beach as well, only issue is that only 1 device is included. I got it for free (unlimited) for my entire stay (three days) but could not connect my laptop to watch a film etc. Minor inconvenience for a short stay but could hinder a longer vacation for sure.

In general, my impression is that this place was a true steal for the price I paid, I guess because of low season I never struggled finding a spot on the beach or enjoying any of the facilities. The lack of small children and relative peace and quiet made it even more enjoyable. I could not imagine anything better for the price I paid! 

Bonus point: unlike other all inclusive, where only families and groups visit, there were a fair few solo travelers. I saw many other people sat on their own in the buffet restaurant and that was great, because sometimes you can be made to feel like a weirdo alone in a resort. Not here - everyone was very chill and clearly used to solo travellers.

Perfect for low season travel, great value

It was very hot and air conditioning was poor sweating in room and no cleaning rooms at all while there. No clean towels, would recommend to no one . I would not stay there again! They should be removed from agencies for lying about cleaning daily.

The private beach was beautiful. The sea is warm, sunbed availablity was okay. 

The bar and pool and nice areas to relax throughout the day. They had a good selection of drinks, but after a certain time vodka is not allowed on all inclusive. The tequila is like petrol and should be avoided.

The bedroom was spacious but the bed was not the most comfy. But I still managed to sleep very well. Lovely shower and bathroom.

The restaurant was not good. Not enough selection of food at all. At the end of the buffet the food started to go cold. Me and my friends also had diarrhea all holiday. I did not trust the cooked meat, the cooked meat and raw meat are right next to each other. I don't think food hygiene is very good.  



Great Beach, nice pool.

We were transferred here because the hotel we actually booked was closing down. We were told it was a better hotel but I couldn't agree, really. 
Good points
Rooms cleaned daily to a good standard. Beach was a 2 minute walk. Town was a 10 minute walk. Food (apart from breakfast) was decent. All inclusive food and local drinks. Plenty of sunbeds around pool.
Bad points
Only one bar that closed at 11 pm. The horrible Turkish pop music played at high volume ALL day and night. The staff only spoke Russian and Turkish fluently. Barely understood any English so we were practically ignored. Guests were 99% Russian (Antalya is the preferred holiday destination for Russians). Breakfast was not worth getting up for. Beach was shingle and pebbled and sunbeds were packed so tightly you had no space. And that's if you were up early enough to get one. Hotel pool is unheated so even at 27° daily temperatures it was  to cold to swim in. The Terrace bar is not a bar, it's a coffee machine and juice machine. There's only one beer served so if you don't like Tuborg you're out of luck. WiFi isn't free although for us it was as we had free WiFi at the hotel we booked so they had to honour that. 

Wouldn't choose to stay here again!
