Just returned from this hotel, rested with my mother and a three-year-old child (August 9-16).
ACCOMMODATION: After seeing the hotels with burning bright lights, we were slightly upset, turning into a dark corner, without identification marks. This was our hotel! )) Later, we drove past this hotel a couple of times, because. not knowing that he is dear, completely inconspicuous, you will never find him. Reception looks depressing and confusing. Can't you at least hang a bright sign!
We arrived at the hotel around 23 and saw a scattered bunch of tourists with phones and tablets who were not always successful in trying to detect wifi. After reading reviews about the hotel, I asked for a room in the middle of the "street". Chocolate "Alenka" arranged for a smiling guy at the reception, and we were brought by typewriter to a room opposite the children's club. On this, the amenities ended - the room stank of some kind of dust and the floor in the bathroom was flooded with water. The child cried "it's bad here, let's go home. " She took him and his mother outside, and she herself back to the reception desk. I say - there the floor is flooded with water, change the number. After carefully looking at the monitor by a smiling guy, we were offered a room where the tap does not flow. The room turned out to be in the building next to the reception, located on the 2nd floor and was a tiny room with 1 bed. This attitude towards a family with a baby began to annoy me, and, returning to the ill-fated reception, I began to yell at the guy that we paid for three and we shouldn’t slip one or two local numbers. I won't leave until I get a decent number. Another 10 minutes of silent study by the no longer smiling guy of the monitor - and we were offered a new room in the 2nd building from the sea. But this time the car left and the former smiling guy from the reception, who had completely lost interest in us, offered me to plop on my own to the end of the hotel street on foot, taking on the suitcases and the grandmother with the baby, who were exhausted for the long journey. For about 5 minutes I waited for the ill-fated car and wandered in the Turkish stuffiness along the cozy houses. Seeing the headlights of the car, I showed the new key and, having called in for the grandmother and the baby, who were waiting in the first room in the flooded floor, I went to the new room. Oh, miracle, from the series "find 10 differences"! This hotel has some decent rooms! True, and here it is not without surprises - there was no hot water in the room. I took it out the next day. True, the crooked plumber, having corrected the problems with hot water, created a new one - the sink flowed. Well, we were not lucky with plumbing in this hotel! )) Yes, at half past 12 at night we were offered a late dinner (soup and bread) and we finally realized that now we are definitely hotel guests)).

FOOD: We liked it. Everything that happens in Turkish hotels was there. Breakfast - eggs, omelettes, cereals, salads, delicious cheeses and feta cheese, vegetables, herbs, yoghurts, cereals, milk, pastries, tea, coffee from a machine, fruits.
from 10 at the bar on the beach, French fries, delicious cakes with cheese, cottage cheese, herbs are baked by a Turkish woman. A couple of times there were hamburgers and shawarma. And again same greens, vegetables. We never drank jupi. There is cola, fanta, sprite, beer. From strong drinks - baileys, crayfish, wine. Red - sour, white - decent.
Lunches and dinners - all of the above plus desserts. meat, chicken, turkey. Fish always. Oranges, grapefruits, watermelons, melons, apples. In general, everything is decent, everything is in order. The food is a solid five!
The waiters in the restaurant are great. They work quickly, efficiently, smiling, pleasant. I especially liked the young nimble smiling boy. But in the bar there is a very gloomy, fair-haired Turkish guy who pours drinks with such a face - as if they were his personal drinks, which I really don’t want to share. The guy, perhaps, it's time to go on vacation - it spoils the whole view!
BEACH: Before going to the beach, you need to get beach towels. They are at the hammam. And it’s unlikely to get them right away, because. first you will be driven to the bottom, where they will obsessively offer massages and boors. At what intrusive - to disgust. And for the next 2-3 days, the attendants-masseurs will, meeting on the street, invite you to their place.
Now about the sea: The hotel has its own small entrance, a carved platform. Slightly steep descent, but clear bottom. On the left is the entrance of another hotel - it is convenient to enter, but it is bad to swim - there are stones. To the right is a long strip of beach that belongs to no one. There are fewer waves, clean, calm. We swam in different places. No one drives anyone out of nowhere, you can enjoy the sea. Those whining about the small beach didn't seem to be trying to move left or right. We liked. Waves are almost always, but it is the SEA! The sea is also a solid 5!

But with the sunbeds, the story is as old as the world - cunning hotel guests spread one towel at 2 sunbeds "just in case", and leave for the whole day. The same picture at the pools: there are few people on the sunbeds, but everyone is busy. We came at 9 o'clock, chose a place where the towels were shifted by the wind. They carefully hung them at the head and lay under the awning. For 7 days, no one has ever come to demand "their sunbed". However, they were always only 60% full, and the rest were only "booked" with towels))
TERRITORY: Well-groomed, the houses are twined with flowers, there are carved benches. The sidewalk is washed every evening. Pretty. The hotel is like a long street. The closer to the sea, the more comfortable, a light breeze blows. Green, lots of flowers.
CLEANING: We had one time, because they always came to our room after dinner, when we put the baby to bed. An elderly Turkish woman conscientiously washed the floor and laid a dirty foot towel instead of a rug)) She didn’t give a new one, deciding that we didn’t need it)) The second time a noisy young woman looked in (all the time she woke up the child constantly with someone talking loudly in the corridor). She waved a dirty mop for a minute (she didn’t have a bucket or any other container with water) and stained the floor with dirt from the entrance, which she dragged on a mop. We didn't let them in anymore. Once I washed the floor myself - after all, we have a child!
POOLS: We spent time in the pool with a slide.
At first, the kid liked the nursery, but on the third day we saw a company of men and women with beer sitting with their dirty feet down there. And between a dozen stinking feet, a couple of babies flounder. But the other day 4 mothers, apparently girlfriends, also bathed their children there, merrily dangling their legs in a tiny shallow 2x2 pool. Pigs - one word! The adults themselves there, of course, do not swim with water, like children do not choke, so you can, sitting with beer, stick your legs there between the faces of the kids. She made a remark, but the child was not allowed there anymore. Apparently, people's brains melt in the heat, since they forgot about hygiene. It's a pity they defiled such a cute pool for little ones ((.
The pool water is highly chlorinated. There is also a swimming pool where water aerobics takes place. But somehow vulgar and without drive.
I confess, the baby was taken to the pool in a nearby hotel - that's where the expanse is! And the slides are full.

ANIMATION: children's - super! The girl Lena works there alone, the children are delighted with her. Adult animation is boredom to death. Been there only once, they advertised clothes from a leather store, which was highly recommended to visit. For entertainment, you can go to the center of Konakli and hang out there.
In general, I liked the rest. The company TUI spoiled the impression, which took us out of the hotel for a flight at 15.00 at 8 am. (by the way, from the hotel to the airport no more than 2 hours). At first they planned to bring us to the dignity. parking in a shop where we could kill time, but then a nice girl said that the driver had a schedule, and we were deliberately dragged to the airport 5 hours before the plane, because rushed to meet the Germans. That's right, everyone fucked us, and the Germans are just flying! Tui is a terrible company. Guide Alla took our vouchers, intimidating that without them, no-no! And disappeared forever. Three days later, with difficulty, they found another representative of Tui, having selected vouchers. But this is already a stone in another garden.
And the hotel is a classic Turkish foursome. Nothing worse than others. Go and enjoy the rest, the sea, the sun, fruits and Turkish music - this hotel has everything for this!
