We chose this hotel because we were vacationing with children (two children 1.6 years old and two mothers)
It was important for us: a bay protected from the wind (there is), a sandy entry into the sea (there is), close to the sea (it was necessary to cross the road).

We were put in a room on the 2nd floor, as there were no other free ones. They promised to move to the first floor the next day (since there are two strollers, it is not convenient to carry it to the second floor every day). We gave $ 10, but in fact it was possible not to give, they would have relocated anyway.

The next day, they moved to a room in the central building, a larger one, on the first floor (it’s very convenient with strollers, I drove in from the street and that’s it)
We had three beds of 1.6m, we moved them and slept four of us, very comfortable. In general, you could take baby cots, they have.


In the dining room (restaurant) there are high chairs, and in general the menu is suitable for children: vegetables, various salads, fruits, pasta, rice, meat, fish. There were also sweets - buns, puffs, national sweets.
The variety on the menu is not great, but there is plenty to choose from, and we enjoyed it. Everything is fresh, it is clear that they cook it every day, they regularly bring supplements, change plates, remove every napkin, service is 5+! During the entire stay, I didn’t see anyone feel sick (and in other hotels they regularly observed how someone picked up the rotovirus due to the uncleanliness of the cooks - the Arabs are famous for dirty hands in this regard). But not in this hotel! The chefs here are very clean and friendly, caring and attentive.

In general, the staff is a separate song. Comparing with the staff in other hotels, even 5 *, a significant difference was felt: in Turkuaz, receptionists, waiters, cleaners, cooks, animators, gardeners are very friendly - and it is felt that this is sincere. It's true, it was a pleasure to communicate with everyone!

The hotel itself is old, but it is clear that they are taking care of it - they tinted it, cut it there, replaced the tiles there.
Regularly update, repair, albeit not capitally. Everywhere is very clean (which is not typical for Arabs) - toilets, paths, rooms - everything was cleaned regularly and conscientiously.

Sea. The beach is sandy, comfortable entry. There were a lot of jellyfish, but you quickly get used to them. Due to the bay there is no strong wind, and the sea is felt warmer than if the sea was open. There are beautiful fish, you have to swim away from the shore behind the buoys - I swam with a mask, there are interesting specimens)) There are no corals, reefs. There are boats and yachts nearby, it was a little annoying - sometimes some kind of dirt and fuel oil flew from there ((. I would say the purity of the sea is 7-8 / 10.

Market and old town. Walking for 5-15 minutes is very convenient: you can see a beautiful mosque, walk around the square, eat at a local fish restaurant.

I highly recommend the Fish Mart restaurant (from the mosque, if you look directly at it, there is an alley on the left, and there on the left after the supermarket). Incredibly delicious!!! ! I highly, highly recommend seafood soup ($3), crab (one 2.
5$), fresh guava or Mango (1$), and in general I advise you to take assorted grilled seafood, shrimp are delicious!
For fruit, go to Bom Bon, on the next street. A nice boy of about 20, makes good discounts and is nice to talk to ))

Of the minuses: I would like a more varied menu, fewer jellyfish on the beach, and cleaner water.

Overall impression: I want to come back, and this is the main thing!
