Beğenilen: This is not the first time we have taken this hotel.
It is one of the best, or the best 5-star hotel on Konyaaltı (the others '5-stars' have either inferior location/ food/ facilities, and/or more old/ 'tired').
Big rooms, very high quality food, location, water park, fitness room, spa, saunas, etc. - all is excellent.
A little more details: rooms are spacious, air conditioning is quiet, cools down to 10 out of 10. Fitness room has many new quality professional equipment, there is a room for cross-fit and aerostretching (on canvases). Hamam, turkish, finnish saunas, jacuzzi, indoor pool, large long outdoor pool. Food - tasty and varied, better than other all-inclusive hotels in that area have (we stayed in two different ones before).
Location - to the left of the hotel is a long promenade of stores and restaurants in a beautiful park. To the right is the comfortable and beautiful Konyaaltı beach area. For the runners and occasional cyclists: a new running track (rubber coating) starts from the hotel and lasts to the end of the promenade (to the right), for a 5 km in one direction. There are dedicated bicycle lanes nearby.
Opposite the hotel - water park (entrance is free for hotel guests), a large oceanarium; in 10 minutes “up” from the hotel is a large mall - shopping at hand. In 5 minutes “up” from the hotel is a beautiful park area towards the center of Antalya.
It's nice that the hotel has improved options for those who likes coffee (compared to our last time): there are two nice bean coffee machines and filtered coffee for the breakfast.
Beğenilmeyen: 1) I don't know if it's the hotel's decision or some local tradition, but:
- large selection of sweets for the evening, and yet no free hot drinks (tea, coffee). Why should guests have to pay for the tea in the evening? Charge the wine, not the tea.
- There is tea, coffee, juices in the morning, but the choice of sweets is limited (and sweets are better to eat in the morning, of course).
2) Last time there were toothpastes, brushes, shampoos and lotions in the rooms. This time there were none. A small thing, but at a disadvantage.
