We went to Turkey for the first time, according to the reviews we decided on this hotel. I liked almost everything, at first only the room was a little shocking - for $ 5 at the reception we were settled in building number 2 on the last (almost attic) floor! They refused to change - they say there is only one side of the greenhouses. The room is small, the floor of the ceiling is sloping, but the main thing is the terrible heat, because the sun was burning on the ceiling all day! But there was a plus - our balcony was open from above, almost like on the roof, you can sit and count the stars in the evenings : ) I had to take the remote control from the air conditioner, but they didn’t take it from the TV. Many write about the unpleasant smell, it was present : ( but then we found its source - the drain grates on the floor in the bathroom and on the balcony, covered them with improvised means : ) the tap is salty. The safe costs $2 already : ( Cleaned so-so, for the left dollar they changed the bed and towels and laid out the figures from the bedspread : ) In general, the staff is attentive, especially to single girls : )
Food. According to reviews, they expected the worst, but meat (chicken) was every day for lunch and dinner, and fish, too, and delicious! We ate only greens, fish and chicken, and, well, sweets. They came later - and the food was delicious, and the most hungry, who create queues, were already full. That's just not lucky with fruit - they gave only oranges, but a lot. Once they only gave chopped apples, once - strawberries, and then they gave out only 5 pieces per hand, but again, these are our hungry people : (
Public. Russians, many Belarusians, a few Poles, Ukrainians, and quite a few Turks. The attitude of the staff to the Turks is more attentive, all the same... But they are much more civilized than many Russians - they don’t drink, they don’t get rowdy, therefore, in general, the atmosphere in the hotel is very calm, family.

Sea. The beach is large and wide sandy, we walked along the coast and found that there are few of them. The sand is dirty. The entrance to the sea is cleared, 7 meters, when there are a lot of people - there is a flea market. We went to the next one, it is wider and there are no pitfalls. The sea is very salty - it bakes your eyes! Cleanest when calm. On the beach there is one of the bars - all drinks, and you can eat. Walking to the sea is very close, a beautiful alley of palm trees, on both sides of the territory of neighboring hotels.
Territory. Small for such a large hotel, almost always the best places are taken. But we always found places. Even if there were no sunbeds on the beach, you could just ask for a mattress and lie where you want, even by the sea. I never had to lie on the sand, except to wait 10 minutes until someone leaves. Swimming pools - one large clean, you can swim, the second - with slides, smaller and dirty, mostly children splashed there. The water is chlorinated.
Entertainment. The guys tried. A disco for children, then a program for adults, there was a Turkish night with belly dancing, a fakir show, class! They skipped water aerobics - at the very lunchtime under the sun, you will burn out at a time... They played volleyball, tennis - the Turks constantly won; ) After the evening show program, the youth went to the beach to the disco, we once came to see the contingent - the entire male staff of the hotel and visitors " Russian girl" ; ) I liked that the disco is not near the hotel, the noise does not interfere.
We went to the Turkish bath at the hotel, $ 25, although the representative of the tour operator said that it was 30 and offered to take him to the city for 25. But there are crowds of people in the city, and here we were alone, we liked everything. The sauna is free, unfortunately, I had to use it - to treat a runny nose and a cold, probably from an air conditioner... By the way, many went there with a runny nose, I advise you to take drops from the nose and lollipops for the throat, well, do not drink cold ; )
In general, the rest was a success, nothing in the hotel overshadowed it : ) If we were offered to go to this hotel again, we will go : )
