the exterior design of the hotel is stunning - it does remind one of a cruise ship.

I love the mezzanine and the natural light through the skylight and the golden cupola elevators, but I am not a fan of the carpet colour or pattern. Far too garish and out of keeping with the modern design of the hotel. You were being diplomatic and kind as usual, sssj, but I suppose it's a matter of taste as well.

The food menu is amazing and I agree - quite healthy. Your hotel room was spacious and well-appointed and the views of the city enchanting.

I'm grateful to you for pointing out the modern features of Turkey. I must confess, I didn't think it would have cities quite as modern or cosmopolitan in appearance.

I think your review of the hotel was honest and detailed and anyone planning a trip to Antalya would be well advised to stay at the Rixos

john!

It seems like we share a similar appreciation of interior design. The mezzanine was also my favourite part of the hotel. I still hadn't formed my opinion of which colours work well in that particular setting but I was definitely taken off guard none the less.

Although I like to see the positive side in all my experiences, there were some negative things which I felt needed to be addressed. For instance, the buffet restaurant and it's lack of customer service. I was also taken back by the lack of eye contact and friendliness of staff. The customer relationships agent seemed to say one thing, and then mean another.

Despite the shortcomings on many friends, I tried to see the positives. Overall, if it's still worth it, I won't focus too much on the negatives.

Thanks for keeping me in check john.

Oh I think you are very controlled sssj and very diplomatic - some may perceive it as being sweet, which it is, but underneath I think you are caring and don't want to cause pain -the definition of a lady, actually :)
