TL;DR
Several chain resorts in Antalya (including the one discussed and its sister hotel Porto Bello) have shifted toward CIS travelers (Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus) in recent years, though some Polish and Romanian guests remain.
The same hotel chain includes Porto Bello, which has a richer food selection and a bigger grill area. It used to host mostly non-CIS foreigners with a few Russians, but over the last 3 years the share of Kazakh guests has grown significantly.
For tours, travelers recommend buying from a Kazakh vendor working across the street from the hotel — reasonable prices and he can advise on routes. Options include Green Canyon, Tazy Canyon, Cappadocia, Istanbul, and Pamukkale tours.
The hotel is mainly geared toward CIS travelers: guests during the stay included Russians, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and Belarusians, along with a few Polish and Romanian tourists.
