This is not the first time in Turkey and we went to Kusadasi only for the sake of sandy beaches. There is something to compare with, so I can say for sure - a triple is a triple! What is there to argue?!
The contingent of vacationers - Bulgarians, Romanians, Turks - 80% of the CIS-20% Mostly people older than middle age and grandmothers with children. There are very few young people, but maybe it's just the end of the season and in the middle of summer everything is completely different. Further in more detail.
If the points:
1. The territory is large, beautiful, well-groomed. Huge palm trees, pomegranate trees, an orange garden - it's all there.
2. The rooms are disgusting, they require a major overhaul. Audibility from the corridor -100% Open-air amphitheater and the roar of a disco until 2 am - it's just awful!

New buildings (there are two of them) exclusively for the Bulgarians and other European brethren, do not count on them - do not settle under any pretext. The first floors in the old buildings are completely damp. And the most terrible discovery for us was the mosquitoes. Such little reptiles that do not buzz at all, but bite like horses!
3. Restaurant! More like a dining room - without any frills. Three tiers and a terrace. The service staff tries to keep order, but they do not always have time, so you can often sit down at a table in crumbs and without cutlery. But it can be lived through.
4. Well done chef! Liked the food. He fed us meat twice a day - lunch and dinner. Shawarma, chicken in various forms, lamb, fish, meatballs. French fries, stewed potatoes, even boiled potatoes were with herbs! Well, the rest is as usual. Everything is modest in the morning, but the next day there was a delicious omelet. There were enough fruits: watermelons, melons, plums, grapes. In terms of nutrition, not every four will pull to such a level.
5. The beach is gorgeous, BUT....Dirty. It seems that before the start of the season it was put in order, cleaned, sifted... and EVERYTHING! By the end of the season, he was covered in cigarette butts and garbage. In recent days, the child even dug up broken glass - I was in shock! Nearby is a private beach, of course not so big, but it was combed every morning with a rake, it was a pleasure to watch. The sea, if not stormy, clean and warm. For children, it's just super because it's 10-15 meters in shallow water.
6. We did not like the animation. But we were told that almost 60% of the animators left on 07.09. The rest did their best. A Russian-speaking girl works in the mini-club. Something with the children constantly sculpted, painted.
And I want to write separately what shocked us a little... or we just didn’t see such a “miracle” anywhere else. All the attendants who were not busy in the evening programs, after 21.00, sat in the bar and drank strong drinks with everyone. And we could not understand the chef's face is constantly red from the kitchen or from the bar in the evenings!

If you do not pay attention to all these shortcomings, then in principle you can relax well, enjoy the sun, sea and beautiful views. Especially beautiful at sunset. The sun is setting over the sea and it is a very beautiful sight. You can watch it sitting on the terrace in the restaurant, at dinner.
