We went on vacation with a family of four to Turkey, thecity of Antalya, the Miracle Hotel. Five-star hotel, all inclusive. A bus picked us up from the airport, and along the way we were looking at palm trees and tangerine trees growing along the road.
Infrastructure
The reception is located in a nice and cozy hall on the ground floor, which has many sofas and tables, so you can relax from the road. We were escorted to the room and taken to our belongings. Since the room is designed for 2 people, we chose two rooms located next to each other. You can also pay extra for the door between the rooms, for the family. The bathroom is simply luxurious, large, made of glass shower, large sink, comfortable wall hair dryer, also regularly bring soap and various shampoos. In a small refrigerator every morning bring drinks: soda and beer. But if you hang a sign on the door handle, then no one will bother you.
Most of the room is occupied by a double bed, opposite which hangs a TV. Next to the bed are bedside tables with reading lamps. It is also possible to styrify the pencil. But the most important thing in this hotel is the balcony. There are rooms with a small, and there is just a huge villa, from which stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Tachtala Mountains are available. And since we came in winter, we could see beautiful snow caps on the mountains. The elevator in the hotel is also exciting, made of glass panels opens a view of the street, the first time to go is a little scary, but then you get used to it. The door to the room opens with a card. You can talk about the restaurant endlessly, it works all day with breaks, which are written on the scoreboard near the entrance.
The cuisine here is just great, a lot of overseas dishes for every taste, for breakfast lunches and dinners naturally serve different dishes, there is also an hour of fast food, burgers, fries, etc. On the ground floor where the restaurant is located, there are several shops for necessary things, such as pasta or slaps, there is a bar where you can order drinks or ask the bartender to mix something to your liking (already included in the cost of the voucher). And in the evenings there are dances, as I understood African gymnasts. The hotel also has a good spa complex, by the way, you are given cards upon arrival at the hotel for the issuance of towels, that is, you give a card and take a towel and vice versa. There is a pretty decent size swimming pool, baths and shower, for a fee it seems to be a Thai massage.
We needed medicines, decided to go to the local pharmacy, outside the hotel. Here we were horrified, there are piles of garbage everywhere, a small garbage river barely flows, in general, I do not advise you to leave the hotel.
Beach & Pools
On the territory of the hotel there is a large swimming pool with slides, like a water park, but, unfortunately, in winter it is not heated, although the temperature outside is on average +20. Quite a few people walk around the territory, but how many friendly cats and cats you can meet, and in the evening there are even hedgehogs. Palm trees and various beautiful plants and shrubs grow. All the “movement” takes place on the beach, which, by the way, I liked for its beauty and inviolability, no garbage, although there are quite a lot of people. On the sand there are many sun loungers, you can take a walk, but in winter the water in the sea is quite cold, although it is still worth swimming in the waves. Near the beach there is a vending machine in which you can make yourself tea or coffee. It is simply impossible to stay hungry here, they always went full, and almost at any time you can come to eat. On the territory there are many different playgrounds, table tennis, football, basketball, etc.
Excursions
We paid 12 thousand for an excursion to the mountains of Takhtala together with a guide (for three). We rode the bus, and as we got up, it became more and more beautiful. We climbed to the top on the lift, a bunch of people huddled tightly in the hope of approaching the window. In the lift, some music was playing from the radio and children were caking loudly, and all people, when the lift dropped sharply, the sensations were exciting. We arrived at the observation deck, in which there is a small cafe, but in it only to warm up and drink coffee, no more. And here is the main plus of winter (in addition to the price of course)) – snow on top of the mountains. The view from a height is breathtaking, you see both the sea and your hotel. Photographers run around the observation deck who will take pictures of you for free, but to pick up photos you will have to pay a lot)). The only thing that alerted us was the protective barriers. Or rather, their absence. Instead, they simply put metal posts, between which two ropes were stretched, and then a cliff of many kilometers. I don’t know for sure, but I feel that there are more people who came here than those who left). And in general I liked everything, quite unusual from the warm, sunny weather, to drive into the winter.

In general, the feeling after the trip is just space! We haven’t rested at the sea for a long time, so we missed wildly. And this city and hotel will provide a chic opportunity to relax from the hustle and bustle and be in an incredible atmosphere of comfort, luxury and pleasure)
