HOTEL SELECTION. We were looking for a visa-free country, the sea, the beach, a beautiful place, excursions, a hotel near the sea, all inclusive and acceptable reviews.


SETTLEMENT. We were at the hotel at 9 am. At the reception they said that the check-in is at 14 o'clock. We were allowed to put the suitcase and bag in the luggage room. put on paper bracelets (we thought they were temporary, but everyone wore them until the end of the holiday) and sent them to breakfast. We had breakfast, walked to the Jet Migros store in order to buy something for dollars, and get change in Turkish liras. The exchange rate is acceptable, almost like in the exchange office nearby. 1 dollar = 5.4 lira. We returned to the hotel and asked, just in case, if the room was free. The guy started calling, but the senior manager glared at him and we were told everything was busy. Wait. Went and sat at the bar. During this time, another party of tourists arrived and somehow they were settled earlier, but not all of them.
CONCLUSION: either try to offer money for early check-in, or sunbathe like we do without settling until 2 pm.

NOISE. After reading reviews that we should take a room not opposite the Irish bar, which rattles until late at night, we were asked to give a quiet room, but at exactly 14 o'clock we were handed the key to the room with a view of this particular bar. They asked to change. Long relied, but offered a room with a view of the Diana Hotel. Agreed, because they categorically said either this one or that one. But as I understood, there are no quiet rooms in this hotel! The hotel is round in shape and surrounded on all sides by rumbling bars, and the Diana hotel thundered until 23.30-0.00 not quieter. Even with the doors closed and the air conditioner turned on, the roar of the disco was in our room. It would be possible to somehow adapt to this regime, but right below us, on the first floor of the hotel, there is a karaoke and a hookah bar! Here they could light up to 3 o'clock in the morning, mostly the British. periodically sang their opuses.
Once we woke up at about 2 o'clock in the morning to the native song "For a week, before the second, I will leave for Komarovo. " The guy sang beautifully, but very loudly. When I read the reviews, I thought they were exaggerating about the noise, but it turns out they were even downplaying it. CONCLUSION: the hotel is not for the faint of heart, do not expect silence.


ROOM. As in the description, a standard room, quite normal, without frills, but not falling apart from antiquity. Apparently each room has one double and one single bed. The single bed was used for better TV viewing. Since it is simply impossible for a person lying near the wall to watch it due to the fact that the TV is located on the same wall along the bed. The refrigerator is hidden in the closet, small and barely cooling. The closet has hangers, shelves and a safe which we didn't use. The toilet is combined with a shower. When you take a shower, the water accumulates on the floor of the shower and then does not go away for a long time. Toilet bowl with bidet function. There is a hair dryer.
Shampoos, gels, soaps were not noticed during check-in, but if you ask, they will give you a mini portion of these benefits, but they will not replenish themselves. We have to remind again. The balcony is small. We had two chairs but no table. Sometimes they took out the bedside table and sipped drinks, listened to another Russian-Turkish disco from Diana Hotel or watched dancing at the Blues Brothers Bar (you still can’t sleep anyway).

NUTRITION. A round restaurant under a glass dome, so the air conditioners could not cope, stuffy. But you can eat near the pool if you find shadows. I wanted to describe in detail breakfasts, lunches, dinners, but many have already written here. Therefore, just my impressions: you can live 12 days, both for those who love vegetables and for those who eat chicken and fish. The chicken was in different forms every day, fish two days later, cutlets (beee) were not eaten. Often grilled and chicken, and turkey, and fish. Beef, pork I don't remember. Potatoes and mashed potatoes and vegetables and fries and slices, pasta, rice.
For breakfast, often pancakes, always eggs (boiled, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs with vegetables, fried eggs), cheeses, butter, sausage (bee). Every day watermelon in unlimited quantities, sometimes apples, plums. There are many cakes, but they are all similar. Alcohol must be taken at the bar. at the smiling bartender. I didn’t like red wine, better white, gin and tonic, normal beer (but lightly, probably diluted), we also tasted crayfish. It should be drunk with ice and washed down with cold water. We came to the room ate, scolded ourselves for gluttony))). CONCLUSION: food is normal for adults without gourmet requests, for children there are no cereals, only cereals and milk in boxes.


BEACH. Sea at a distance of one hotel Aqua. By the time of 5 minutes. But there is a beach of this hotel. Then another 3 minutes the beaches begin from bars and cafes. We went to Coco beach. To use 2 sun loungers and an umbrella, you have to pay a minimum of 36 lira for two phrases with ice. You can also beer for 20, pizza, etc. , but not less than 36 lire.
In addition, a number from Wi-Fi is given, but it is weak. This beach is mostly visited by the British. Beechboys immediately take their places near the sea, because they both come and start buying food and drink from them all day. By the way, scourge fights speak English, but they also understand a little Russian. The hotel also has its own beach, you need to walk from the hotel for 10-15 minutes to the Munamar beach hotel and somewhere in the middle of this hotel there is a tripod Idas Hotel - this is our freebie. You have to come early. At 9 or 9.30 there are no more places. Umbrellas are very close to each other, there are more people, and the sea is cooler than on Coco beach. Again, everyone who wrote that the sea in Icmeler is cool is true. You come in with a feeling of invigoration, the water is colder in places. They say the keys. Swimming is fine afterwards, but sitting in the sea for hours, as in Cyprus, is not very successful. CONCLUSION: the beach is better from the cafe (you need to leave the amount of money for this), the beach from the hotel, you need to take places early, as well as on the free city one.
The sea is 23 degrees, it doesn’t happen anymore, no matter how hot it is.


TOURS. Our first outing was fishing, a hotel neighbor campaigned. We took from Alik opposite the hotel. We got to Marmaris (it is close, about 10 minutes to go), transferred to the boat. They gave out fishing rods with 4-5 hooks, bait and we swam around the island opposite Marmaris, stopping periodically. Of the 14 people caught only 2 fish and then small. In short, a walk on the sea for half a day and $ 15 from the nose. Not only that, when we arrived on the shore, the bus did not come for us, we had to go in the heat and take a taxi. They complained to Alik, apologized and returned the money for the taxi. But no more trips were taken from him. And they took an excursion to Dalyan on the next street, from Irina (2 hours by bus to the lake, an hour on the lake by boat, then mud and thermal springs (a lot of people), then to the Sea from the Turtle beach and back) $ 25 per person and per Aegean Islands $30 (5 stops and swimming, food and drinks included).
We liked both, especially the Aegean Islands. Themselves on dolmush (4 lira) went to Marmaris to take a walk and watch a show of dancing and singing fountains. The beauty. CONCLUSION: Dalyan and the Aegean is worth a visit, interesting. Marmaris for independent walks is a must.
