"We vacationed in Pine Bay in early October. Every year we used to go to Antalya, but this time we decided to change the route and didn't regret it.
The hotel is extraordinarily chic, the architecture is planned so that every bush is preserved, everything is immersed in greenery.
NUMBERS. 3 adults and 3 children were on vacation, taking 2 club rooms. The rooms have 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, which significantly eases the situation. They asked for nearby numbers, but gave 1205 and 1215; there were 10 rooms between us. The children ran to each other's houses. This is the first floor, the first line closest to the sea. Also nearby were all the activists, swimming pools, water park, and amphitheater. Don't be afraid of the noise, everything quiets down exactly at 00:00.
BEACH. It's also close to the beach, about 5 minutes down the hill and stairs. There is a panoramic elevator. But it was closer for us on foot.
There were enough free sunbeds, apparently because there are few Russians staying at the hotel, and those who were there were all very decent and cultured. The beach is divided into 3 parts: the right part with a sandy entrance to the sea, the middle and left parts with stones, but there are stairs into the sea from all the piers. There are many fish in the sea, if you like snorkeling, take masks. I haven't seen so much fish in any hotel in Antalya.
The water was cool, but if you jump in headfirst, you warm up and get used to it quickly.
If you walk along the beach to the left towards the water sports, there is a secluded area with gazebos and simple sunbeds where you can feed the fish from the Pier or relax in a quiet atmosphere.
If you walk along the beach to the right, there is a beautiful view of the pristine nature of the neighboring bay.
In water sports, only canoeing is free, SUPs and others are paid.
There is also a beach restaurant in the center of the beach where you can have a bite to eat during lunchtime, and there is also a beach bar there.
NUTRITION. The breakfasts in the main restaurant are simply gorgeous. Omelets and fried eggs of all kinds, delicious Turkish pastries, honey in combs, vegetables. The cheese refrigerator deserves special attention.
For lunch, you can always find dishes for every taste. Meat, fish, chicken, and turkey are available. Very tasty desserts, even my favorites San Sebastian and Tiramisu were there.
From fruits: fresh figs, peaches, watermelons, melons, grapefruits, and others.
Every evening, the kitchen features different cuisines. We caught Turkish, Asian, Italian.
One evening we went to an a la carte fish restaurant. Octopuses and lobsters, of course, don't expect, but everything was classic (appetizers, shrimp, squid, grilled fish), fresh and deliciously cooked. In season, this restaurant is on the Marina by the sea, but since it was a little cool in the evening, it has been moved to the building by the closed pool.
Also during the day, there are kiosks by the pool selling burgers, gezleme, waffles, and ice cream. Everything is fresh and delicious.
BARS. Local alcohol, but there is everything. Even champagne. The bar at the Reception makes cool cocktails and brews delicious coffee. It's very atmospheric there, especially at sunset.
SPA. They didn't take massages this time, we went to the sauna and hammam for free. There were too many people, but we still had a good time. Can walk with children.
POOLS. A very beautiful indoor pool, submerged in the greenery of growing trees. We went to the children's open pool a couple of times, and the water park for children and adults was also open. There are few people, there are always rescuers, just in case.
ANIMATION. At the end of the season, the sports events were no longer working. There was an Oktoberfest beer festival one time during the day, it was fun and very tasty. Even if they brought a bull that makes people dizzy... Fake :) Installed on the stage.
Every evening there were colorful imported shows, acrobats from Korea, Ethiopia, Turkish night, and others.
There was a cool mini-disco in the mini-club, the kids liked it.
KUSHADASY. We went to the city once. A minibus number 1 runs right from the hotel, it costs a dollar per person, taxi - 10-15 dollars. In the city, there is nothing special to see besides Marina and the fortress; the shops are standard, like Waikiki, De-facto, pharmacy. There is an old bazaar, the prices there are in euros, calculated purely for tourists.
PINE TREES. This is the hotel's most important wealth, after the sea, naturally. The hotel's name translates to Pine Island, Bay for a reason. It is magnificent, as if you are recovering in a sanatorium in the forest.
One day, a guy from animation conducted a trekking tour around the area around the hotel, which is where you could truly admire the beauty. It reminded me of the Lycian Way in Oldenidze :)
CERAMICS. The hotel owner is a fan of ceramics, so a special style is felt everywhere. Awesome ceramic panels can be seen both in the reception area and on Marina. The children really liked the pottery workshop at the mini-club. It would be great if something similar was held for adults.
We are very happy that you chose this hotel for your vacation and to celebrate our mom's and grandmother's anniversary."
