Hotel ratings by criteria:
The hotel is located between the towns of Icmeler and Marmaris. This is the junction of the Mediterranean and Aegean seas.
I didn’t like Marmaris, it’s hot, the air gets warm, you can go crazy, besides, there are a lot of cars.

Hotels are scattered along the road, many have a pool right next to the roadway. Icmeler is a beautiful resort town, full of flowers and greenery. Until June, I do not recommend taking tours at all.

The sea is cold. True, I heard (infa not verified) that in this place the water is always cold, because there are keys. It may very well be, because we were told that it was already warm in the Mediterranean, and we swam in layers, now almost warm, now icy.

The ticket was bought as 4 *, All inclusive. Doesn't qualify for 4 stars.
Rooms, let's say, so-so. Room service at 3* level. Or worse. No shampoo, no conditioner, in some rooms hanging jars for gel (as in public toilets) were empty. Bar of soap was not changed even once in 10 days.

Someone complained about dirty towels - there is a small inscription in the bathroom, in order to change them, you need to throw them on the floor.

The safe in the room is paid, 1.5 dollars per day. No soundproofing. If Germans are settled next to you, write wasted. They are very noisy, noisy half the night. Worse than ours. The rest of the staff is normal, even good.

I really liked the animators, both ours and Turkish. But as I understood from the reviews, the show programs are the same every year. Every evening there is a disco on the territory of the hotel.

There are sports events, but we were a little unlucky with the season, they have just started to swing. Volleyball, darts, water volleyball, tennis, we got all this only in the last 3 days (again, to the question that you should not go in May)

Nutrition. Six meals a day, breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and night soup. Not bad, except for a huge minus - from fruits only last year's gloucester apples and oranges.
Why haven't we seen them in Russia?? ? Maybe the season is not so sad. There are many desserts, but they are tasteless. Very sickening. The meat, of course, is not like from the market, but it is well cooked, delicious lamb, fish quite often, but the same. There are no seafood.

Drinks all day, local alcohol. Vodka Rake is terrifying, aniseed. The smell is appropriate. When mixed with water, it turns white. Wines are dry. The beer is also not very good. The Turks were very interested in the presence of Russian vodka. So I didn't understand why. There was vodka in the bar, I didn’t find any difference.?

Before the holidays, I could not understand what it is - a club hotel. Now I realized that they simply do not want to scare us with the word boarding house. One bullshit.

Tours. Picked up in Pamukkale. If I had known what was there, I would not have spent a whole day and 100 dollars. But the guide was very good - Vasily, you will listen directly.
For the sake of 2 hours in Pamukkale, you need to spend 10 hours on the bus and in the shops that you will be dragged through on the way back.


And they feed on excursions lousy. Do not believe the booklets on which the most beautiful travertines are drawn. These are photos from 10 years ago. There is nothing like it there, a few puddles in which thousands of tourists from all over the world roam with their bare feet. Hustle, heat...

And those travertines that are still alive (pieces 3-4) are fenced off with a red ribbon. The Cleopatra pool is good. But, frankly, there are too many people. 15 dollars from the nose for admission.

Prices. Everything is expensive. Returning to Russia - you can shed a tear from our prices. Even the swearing St. Petersburg driver did not spoil my tender attitude towards the minibus for 15 rubles from Pulkovo to Ladoga. There, the fare for a couple of stops is 1 euro.

Gold items are very beautiful, not like ours, but the prices are high.
But if you set a goal and go to the Golden Center, then you can bargain, especially if you buy more than one thing (although contrary to what was stated, they are not lovers of moving in price). I was in scrap. Leather, fur are expensive. There are few beautiful models. Small leather items are disgusting - bags, wallets beeeeeeeee.

Food prices (in cafes and restaurants) are high. A cup of Nescafe coffee is something like $2. Ice cream 1.5. Some dish 10, fish 20. True, there was no need to eat on the side, and so they barely crawled out from behind the table.

Sunscreen is about $25. So it's best not to forget yours. Boat rental - $60 per hour. Parasailing - 50 for 15 minutes.

Again about the hotel - I liked that a large area, all in greenery, the heat is not felt, squirrels often jump along the paths, very playful. There are beautiful big blue lizards. Three times we saw a snake, green, did not bite anyone. But still, it's kind of creepy.
Sparrows brazenly climb into plates of food. With legs. Oleander blooms constantly. Very beautiful.

About health: be sure to purchase insurance. The climate is rather heavy, we were ill with the whole company, acclimatization is very difficult. Drinks are served ice-cold, so you can chill your throat. With pharmacies there strained. If, of course, you follow the recommendations, do not appear in the sun during the day, then, probably, you can not get sick. They say there are a lot of wasps in July.


On the territory of the hotel there is just a super-slide in the sea. Best!! ! But there are stones at the bottom, and if you accelerate very much, you can not be slightly skinned. Works twice a day for two hours.

There is a bath, Turkish, sauna and steam room. But I'm not a fan, so no comments. There is a swimming pool, but I don’t see the point of breathing bleach when the sea is nearby. I forgot to say about the beach - it is tiled with a gangway into the water. I liked it. Because the sand on the coast is dirty, gray.
And so everything is clean and cultured, there is no sand in slippers, in teeth, or in other places. So that's a plus. Everything, I'm tired of writing, in general, draw conclusions. Have a nice rest!! !
