After reading the reviews here, we also decided to stay at this hotel. Last year I had a rest in 5 star Sera (Antalya). So there was something to look forward to. And now in order.
The location of the hotel relative to the sea is normal. There is an underground passage (albeit a bit gloomy). Bar on the beach: assortment - soft drinks (cola, fanta, yuppies, sprite of a local spill), ayran (although for some reason they over-salt Hugo), tea, coffee of average quality. The bar staff is polite and courteous. Alcoholic drinks - Ephesus beer. Ice cream paid - from a dollar to two. For lunch, cakes, hamburgers, pizza. In the beach building (on the back) there is a children's miniclub with a playground outside. Club hours: 10:00 to 12:00 and 15:00 to 17:00. Children's animator - girl Marina. Beauty and smart. The only thing annoying is the miniclub itself. It looks like a bomb shelter. The area is 3 by 4 meters with bare unfinished walls, no electric light (no lighting). The patron (the owner of the hotel) clearly does not want to invest in a miniclub. The beach is normal - fine sand, unbroken sun loungers, mattresses. You need your own towels. There is a stationary toilet on the beach (in the bar building). Toilet is well maintained. All toilets in the hotel (both in the rooms and in other places) are equipped with everything you need. Including all toilets are equipped with a "bidet" system. The entry into the sea is disgusting - huge waves under your feet. Some are 2 by 3 meters. Therefore, only to swim - it's hard to walk. The sea is clear in the morning. During the day and in the evening - a garbage dump (in the water you can find everything from a cigarette butt to used gaskets). One of the animators said that these are storm drains from the city that fall into the sea. True or not, I don't know. However, this was not the case in Antalya. The floor of the pier is covered with pieces of wood - some of them are missing. So be careful. There is a volleyball court on the beach. Every day, the animator gathers those who wish to play volleyball. The shower on the beach is open. There are two locker rooms - let's say, a marching option. There are no hooks inside.
Nutrition. Just like everywhere else in Turkey. Although there is no abundance in the restaurant. There is little meat. There was only one fish in 9 days. Sausages, sausage - soy substitute. Ours are better. Indeed, there are few cups (perhaps due to the number of tourists). No toothpicks (take from home). If you forgot, ask the bartender. It's called "kurdan". The dishes are clean, the tables are cleaned normally. Purely. There are fruits. There were watermelons and melons. I prefer their soups. Soups for lunch only. The restaurant serves three meals. There is also a late dinner. Only I never found it. Is there a back door somewhere? Milk is displayed very rarely. Therefore, it is not always possible to whiten tea.

Bar near the pool. Whiskey, vodka (crayfish), gin tonic are added to all other drinks. They don't make cocktails. There are no liquors in the hotel. Milkshakes too.
Swimming pool. Fine. Two slides, Jacuzzi included at a certain time. The pools are clean. There are few beds. Usually everyone is busy. There are always free sunbeds on the beach.
Vacationers. Mostly Turks and Russians. "Russians" can be seen immediately. They line up in front of the entrance to the restaurant (10 minutes before it opens). The Turks look at them with surprise (some chuckle). The mentality of "our rush" cannot be changed. One of the representatives of the "Russian nation" at the animation, when the Turk was greeted with applause on stage, showed "fuck". The hotel management dealt with him later. I don't know how it ended.
Rooms. The minibar didn't work in my room. Looks like freon is out. He heated the contents. Door locks wobble. The air conditioner worked fine. There were not always towels. The cleaning lady explained that they were not. Twice I asked the reception to give me a "do not disturb" sign. They didn't give it. They were removed at lunchtime, when you want to relax. You tell the cleaner we're sleeping. She is offended - does not come later. He doesn’t come, he doesn’t bring toilet paper... In short, it’s not diarrhea, it’s a mess. According to one tourist, her air conditioner did not work. For 10 bucks she was immediately relocated. I also moved in. If you don't put it on, you won't go.
Conclusion. Who just needs the sea, the sun and food with a roof over their heads, then you can relax here. But I'm unlikely to come back here again, because. there is something to compare. There are much better hotels. It is noticeable that the owner of the hotel (patron) does not invest in its development. Money is being pumped out.
