We stayed at this hotel at the beginning of August. I will say right away that in general I liked it, but I will write both pros and cons.
1. Russians and Ukrainians are settled in rooms far from the sea (if you do not have a suite). But a big plus is that from the balcony of each room, and even the farthest one, you will see the sea and mountains. The rooms would do well to be refurbished. For example, on the very first day, the cabinet door hung on one hinge, the light bulb above the mirror turned on by screwing in and out. But there were 2! rooms, 6!! ! sleeping places in the room, and there are two of us)), shower, washbasin, toilet. The room has a TV (1 Russian channel and 18 Turkish and English channels), minibar (one large bottle of water upon arrival, no longer replenished), kettle, cups, glasses, hair dryer, shampoo, shower gel, hair conditioner, soap, hats, cotton buds, towels. From furniture: we had two wardrobes, two bedside tables, a double bed, two folding chairs, one sofa, a table, a dressing table with a mirror, plastic furniture on the balcony. Two air conditioners. The room was cleaned every day, but on the last day we were not cleaned. They change towels if you throw them on the floor. Refill toilet paper. We left tips a few times (but that doesn't affect anything). They don't steal. There is a safe in the room (if needed, it costs 6 lire per day). There is carpet on the floor.
2. The territory of the hotel is very small, the pool is small, there is a bar, a dining room inside and outside the hotel building. But this territory was enough for us, since we spent most of the time on the beach by the sea or climbed around the city with backpacks.

3. They feed normally. Buffet. There are many specific dishes, but we chose more familiar food for ourselves. Fruit is not sweet. Turkish sweets were given only twice a week. In the afternoon and in the evening you can eat soup. Breakfast is early from 7-30 and late from 10-00, lunch from 12-30, snack from 15-00, evening tea from 17-30, dinner from 19-30, evening soup from 23-30. In short, there is always something to eat. Juices, water, tea, coffee in vending machines around the clock as much as you want. Do not throw away plastic water bottles from the minibar, you can refill them with juice and water below and take them with you to the beach or on a trip.
4. The beach is 40 steps from the hotel. Sun loungers, umbrellas, mattresses - everything is there. We always found a place on the beach. There are showers and changing rooms on the beach. There is no bar on the beach, so we took drinks in plastic bottles with us. Beach towels are issued at the reception without a deposit, in order to change them you need to pay 3 lira for one towel. For me, there was one minus - this is a channel that goes straight to the sea. The water is stagnant there - so I tried to swim further from it. Excursion and private boats constantly sailed and sailed to this canal - they took and landed people. It wasn't very pleasant either. the bottom of the sea - small pebbles and sand, so you could swim without slippers. The water is clean, clear and warm.
5. In the evening it is not very noisy, after 12 at night all the music near the hotel turns off. Once every two evenings, live music is played in the hotel, or musicians sing, Turkish dancers dance. There is nightlife in Icmeler itself, but the city itself is very calm, surrounded by mountains, pine trees and the sea.
6. In the basement of the hotel there is a sauna and a Turkish bath, where you can order a massage and spa for an additional fee.
7. There is an elevator, there are tables and chairs in the hall, there is a huge TV with a sofa, a library next to this TV. There is wi-fi in the lobby. Catches even at the door of the room))
8. The staff is friendly, but there is a different attitude towards Europeans and towards us. Almost all the staff speaks Russian, absolutely everything speaks English. There isn't much animation.
9. On the day of departure from the hotel, we left before breakfast began, so, at our preliminary request, we were given two sandwiches for the road.
In general, we liked it: in the high season and with such a budget (cheaper than most hotels), it's great to have such a decent rest.
