I'll try objectively. I'll say right away that the hotel was chosen because of the child, the shallow sea, the entrance without corals. If we were driving ourselves, we would have chosen another.
Now for the pros!
1. A good beach, there are many places, it’s not a problem to find free sunbeds. The baby flopped in warm water and was completely happy! We wandered ankle-deep to waist-deep or chest-deep water for a long time and swam there. Anyway, snorkeling didn’t threaten us this year, even taking turns with my husband, so I won’t complain about the sea! : )))
2. Pretty good food, especially dinners, everything that was cooked on the grill was great! Duck is generally beyond praise. Strange as it may seem, such delicious chicken has never been seen anywhere else! : )
Various fruits, bananas, persimmons (delicious and fresh), dates, oranges, apples, pineapples, figs. Sweets. In general, food for adults is no problem.

3. Polite staff, settled in 30-40 minutes, arrived at the hotel early, around 9 am. Probably due to the fact that we were with the baby. Money was not given at the reception.
4. The room pleased me, huge, with high ceilings, we lived in the main building, standard. Clean, although it did not interfere with something to update, but these are trifles. soap and shower gel in blocks screwed to the wall, like in public toilets. Apparently they save on supplies.
5. And of course the territory, very green, beautiful, many flowers, well-groomed and pleasing to the eye! The child was delighted with such an abundance of flowers! ))) It’s not so little to go to the beach from the main building, it’s normal in the morning, but after 11 back it was hard, even with a stroller. So for us, more compact territories are preferable. But this is not a minus for the hotel, but what a beauty around along the way!
Minuses:
1. The absence of a dietary table as such, that is, feeding a 1.5-year-old child with lunch was a big problem. Boiled vegetables, if any, are hard, undercooked, do not knead with a fork, mashed potatoes, perhaps, if you're lucky. There was no boiled meat, it was stewed with spices or fried, as well as fish. Sometimes I gave her the middle of a piece of fried chicken or duck. in jars, I also brought it with me. But as for dinners, I was sure that there would be boiled vegetables and meat from the diet table. In Turkey, this was super, whatever you wanted, even though we were only a year old.
2. I didn’t like the main pool, they also painted something terribly smelly there for several days. But the second pool, small, on the way to the sea, is very pleasant.
The beach towels are a bit worn, not full of holes, of course, but still. . .
3. After lunch, flies attacked us both on the beach and near the pool. It was terrible, it was not realistic to lie down and take a nap! , there were no flies for sure. Mosquitoes in the evening in the Hall and on the veranda, stock up on sprays.

4. There is no air conditioning at the reception and in the hotel lobby. Tolerable, but with difficulty. The air conditioner in the room is very noisy, we didn’t get used to it right away.
5. Excessive attention to the child, in the dining room the waiters constantly strove to pinch his cheek, pat on the head. to touch such a crumb by the face... It’s the same on the street, it was simply impossible to walk with a child. It generally infuriated my husband. Well, of course, this does not apply to the minus of the hotel, just a cry from the heart : ))) Turkey is still more delicate in this sense.
In general, we rested, sunbathed, puffed up, it was already cold at home. And most importantly, the child felt great, I couldn’t get it out of the water, I didn’t get sick, etc! The sea still remembers! : ) And for me, nevertheless there were more pluses, maybe I would have gone again! And my husband said to Egypt not a foot more! ))) They finished him off with crazy queues for passport control at the airport, the airport is really full of a madhouse, if we hadn’t insolently climbed out of line with a child, then the flight would not be in time.
