Hello.
Rest period: August 201.14 days. Tour operator: Pegasus. Airline: Turkish Airlines.
Transfer: road from the airport 2 hours, stop along the way 30 minutes in a shop.
Pros of the hotel: two beaches, beautiful views, free ice cream, free towels, sunbeds, mattresses.
Cons of the hotel: children's animation, service, accommodation, young people have nothing to do.
Accommodation: Russians are offered the worst rooms first, such as rooms on the first floor overlooking a wall or outbuilding. The buildings in the hotel are located well, almost all rooms have at least a side view of the sea. For green papers they give something better. When I was there, there were cases when people sat at the reception at night or the newlyweds were given a room for the disabled, without a partition separating the sleeping area and the bathroom. For placement I put -2.

Standard room: double bed, extra bed - folding bed (very uncomfortable, folds up all the time at night), old TV (1 Russian channel), shower, old hair dryer, 2 bedside tables, table with mirror, built-in wardrobe, small safe, closed with a simple key , air conditioning above the bed, refrigerator, balcony. Everything worked for us, something periodically broke with friends. In the shower, only liquid soap in a tube on the wall. For number 4.
Service: On the 4th day, a gold chain, left in a locker in a purse, disappeared from the room (they forgot to put it in the safe). So be careful! At the reception, the administrator accused us at first that we didn’t bring her to Turkey at all, then that we lost her on the beach, then they said that it was our own fault - we should have put her in a safe. They did not even apologize and did not try to take any search measures. Pegasus guide Marat did not help us in any way, did not even try, he only bowed to the staff at the reception. He told us that it was impossible to go to the police, because they would not let us out of the country later. Well, let them think that we gave it to them.
Room cleaning is mediocre. They left tips. The floor was a bit scuffed. Alien hair in the corners and in the drawers of the table did not disappear during the entire stay. Glasses in greasy stains. Bed linen changed. Water and towels were often taken by ourselves in the corridor from the cleaning lady's tray.
In a restaurant, drinks are brought to Poles and Germans, but not to Russians. They brought us until we gave up evening walks together under the moon.
Changing towels is a big problem. Exchange at 12 at the hammam. Often they were not available and they were not quite clean. For service - 2.
Beach: First on site. Pier on the rock. The descent is steep stone steps. Suitable for adults only. It's good to swim at night with a circle. To the second sandy beach 300 meters along the highway past the garbage heap. It's hard to walk around in the heat. The sea is very clean, the sand without stones, the entry is smooth. Very good for children. But the sunbeds are old, the shower is miserable, there are no changing rooms and toilets. The water in the shower is turned off at night. The beach is not cleaned and guarded. There is a public beach nearby and the entire local population moves to Aska sunbeds. For the beaches - 4.

Swimming pool: not very big, occupied by the Poles all day long, sunbeds at 8 am are all occupied. There are two small slides, children over 12 are no longer interested in them.
Food: Average by Turkish standards. Breakfast cereal, one day fried beaten eggs without any additives, one day pancakes (tasteless). From 10 to 17 bar on the beach. On the beach: Ephesus beer, pepsi, sprite, french fries, soy burgers. Drinks (free until 23), in glass glasses only in the restaurant, in other bars in small disposable plastic cups. Alcohol is diluted. There are no juices (even for a fee). Lunch: a lot of everything, but somehow tasteless. The meat is stewed with vegetables. There is a lot of water in the dishes, everything is boiled. Save the situation dinners. Every evening something is grilled. Tasty. There was no lamb. Once there was a delicious grilled fish (usually the fish was only stewed or in batter, and it was difficult to call it a fish to taste). From the middle of the rest we switched to pasta with ketchup. Free ice cream and donuts by the pool once a day. The choice of fruits for August is not great. Watermelons, melons (not honey), green apples, a couple of times there were plums and once grapes. A la carte restaurant: the menu is the same as in the restaurant. For food - 4.
Animation: the animation team is good, Georgian-Turkish. They dance well. Unfortunately, they do not have enough strength for full-fledged children's animation. In the evening, 30 minutes of mini-disco and that's it. So get ready to entertain and entertain your children yourself. And teenagers and young people are generally bored. Young girls, apart from flirting with 3 animators, have nothing to have fun with.
In the evening there is a show for adults. Like Miss Asuka, Mr. Asuka, Best Couple, etc. Once there was live music, sometimes Russian, sometimes Polish songs were sung to the synthesizer. Disco in the hotel - one name. Since the main vacationers are families with small children, the disco was already over before it started. For animation - 4.
If there are questions, I will be happy to answer.
