Objectively, the hotel certainly does not pull five stars. When I got to the room, I was extremely disappointed. . . A clearly battered room with patches of wallpaper on the walls, a balcony overlooking the roof of the store. . . You can list further, but of course the number is not the main thing when the sea is nearby! But even here there are nuances... The beach is really very small (either small pebbles, or coarse sand), and the sunbeds are so close to each other that from a distance sunbathers seem like sprats in a jar. Saves the pier, where there are also sunbeds and umbrellas. In general, the beach is not suitable for an amateur and for small children.
Now about the good, the food, in my opinion, is good for an inexpensive Turkish five, . You can always find something for yourself and for the child. A couple of times a week they give ice cream (also delicious, by the way), it's true that a huge queue is built behind it, but where without it : )?
Guys-waiters in the bulk are friendly and smiling, especially with the ladies. The chefs stand with stern faces, but they make sure that the food warmers and salad bowls are replenished on time, so even if you come to the end of breakfast (lunch, dinner), you will see the same thing as your predecessors. This is a big plus for the hotel. It would seem that this is how it should be, but unfortunately not everywhere. I have something to compare with, by the will of fate, we lived in another Turkish five (Kemal bay), since our tour operator (Neva) went bankrupt, and we were immediately kicked out of Aventura, although we only had 3 days before departure. By the way, in Aventura they refused to leave us even for cash, explaining this by the fact that they allegedly handed over our number to others as soon as they found out about the ruin of the Neva. Of course, this is dishonorable. It was possible to inform people and give them the opportunity to "live" in the hotel at their own expense, and not put them out on the street with a child, giving them 3 hours for everything...

A few more words about animation (to complete the picture, so to speak). As for the nursery, it was not as such, with the exception of a mini disco in the evenings, but an adult was noisy by the pool all day long - from morning to evening. I am not a fan of this kind of entertainment, but I must admit that the guys tried, danced incendiary, trying to involve new arrivals in this action. Every evening they arranged some kind of entertainment such as a comedy show, Mr. Aventura, etc.
Summing up, I’ll say that I tried to paint the picture as objectively as possible, and it’s up to you to go to this hotel or not.
