Citrus Park Hotel in Antalya

We stayed at this hotel from October 20th to 28th and absolutely loved it, especially the Russian-speaking staff (Sabina and Yasin) who were always ready to help. The rooms were clean and spacious, and we also had a large balcony on our floor. However, we didn't like that the cleaning staff sometimes left our room unattended and the breakfast buffet was meager (for example, there were sauces, but there was nothing to eat them with). Overall, the hotel lives up to its rating, and I think I'll stay here again soon.

A good hotel. Great value for money. Very close to the sea. Friendly staff, checked us in early. Our check-out time also didn't coincide with our flight, so we were able to leave our luggage at reception. We had a standard superior room. It had a TV, kettle, hairdryer, and refrigerator. The hotel has French balconies, but you can hang up your linen. We were very pleased with the hotel.

We liked the hotel; everything is close by! We stayed at the end of March. We arrived at 8 a.m., and our room was ready within an hour! The sea, the promenade, the bus stop, Migros 5M, and restaurants are all nearby. Cleaning is daily, and the room has a refrigerator and hairdryer. We stayed on the first floor, room 111—a nice room. The breakfasts are delicious and varied; you won't go hungry.

I recommend 1. We arrived at Antalya airport. We had COVID-19 vaccination certificates and an HEC code, which was issued at the travel agency. There were a lot of people, and the lines moved quickly. 2. The hotel. Aizhan works at the reception during the day and speaks Russian. The beach is 3 minutes away. The BIM store is around the corner. Free Wi-Fi. The Garden View room is on the ground floor with a balcony, which doesn't actually have a garden, but a wall. The room is large and spacious. The TV has Russian channels. The air conditioning only works if the balcony doors are tightly closed (at first, when we closed one balcony door, the other would open slightly, and the air conditioning didn't work, but then we figured it out and everything was fine). There's a medium-sized refrigerator. There's a kettle. They put a sign on the doorknob for cleaning, and the room was cleaned the same day. They don't give out two key cards; it's not customary. Restaurant: The staff serves your food, but you can ask for more. Breakfast from 8:00-10:00 isn't very rich in choice (omelette, porridge, sausages, cheese, pancakes), but we weren't hungry. Dinner from 19:00-21:00 usually includes mashed potatoes, chicken, fish, beef, a side dish, salad, grapes, watermelon, and melon. We went to the pool once (it's better by the sea). The hotel staff is very good: Russian-speaking staff in the dining room and at reception. We'd like to mention a cheerful guy named Barysh, always helpful, constantly offering tea. 3. The beach is wide, small pebbles, a bit dirty, there is a changing room, shower, and a lifeguard who never gets boring. The embankment is well-equipped: sports grounds, recreation areas, cafes, a bike path, and a jogging path. 4. We bought excursions on the embankment: Turkish Maldives, ATVs. We took the bus to the Tunnektepe Cable Car, the old town, and shopping malls. We went to the hamam at the Sirena Apart & SPA hotel (7 Arapsuyu Street). We walked to Migros 5M and Aktur Park. We also went to the vegetable market. 5. Food. The corn and sesame seed kalachi on the beach were excellent. We liked the local fast food in the shopping malls. The Turkish shawarma and ice cream weren't particularly appealing. Alcohol is expensive, so you should bring your own. I'd recommend the Şişçi İbo Konyaaltı Şubesi cafe (900m toward Atatürk Boulevard, near the post office) and Göksel Tantuni – Konyaaltı (exit onto Akdeniz Boulevard and turn left for 250m). Among the sweets, we tried pishmane, halva, pikmez, and tahni with pancakes. 6. Among the stores, I'd recommend the closest ones: BIM and the Migros chain, especially 5M (buy a Migros card at the checkout before making a purchase; it costs 1.5 lira and you'll be able to access promotional items). 7. If you plan to shop duty-free, buy one promotional item first, and you'll get a discount on future purchases. It's a small thing, but a nice touch!
