two adults and a 4 year old. I must say right away that this is the first time in Turkey, so our opinions may not coincide with the opinions of people who have repeatedly visited those parts. We liked. Everything is just great. This is a hundred percent family hotel, probably 50% - children. In August, 90% of vacationers are Germans, but in September, probably due to lower prices, the number of Russians increased significantly.
And now about the hotel itself.
The room (2 + 1) is normal, the furniture is also new, the plumbing is new, everything is pretty clean and tidy. Cleaning daily, water in the minibar too, linen change 2 times a week. The territory is well-groomed, I will not say that it is very large, but this is for the best. We went to Nena (also HV, 5 *, our friends rested there, it's closer to Side), this hotel is 2-3 times larger than Gypsophila, respectively, more noise, people, queues at the restaurant, etc.

The food is excellent, we enjoyed it. Lots of dietary options, daily grilled dishes, lots of desserts, fruits, yoghurts, etc. The only thing that I did not like soups-puree - the child refused to eat. So I don’t think that anyone will have problems with food, the choice, in my opinion, will satisfy even the most demanding gourmet. There were no queues for food, the waiters work perfectly - quickly and discreetly. I didn’t like only the fish restaurant, but maybe we’re just not connoisseurs of seafood dishes? Panorama bar, two snack bars by the pools, the child is delighted with the toasts, pancakes, cakes that were there. Beach. Entrance to the sea from the pier, but this did not upset anyone. There are no problems with sun loungers on the beach, but at first it was necessary to borrow by the pool, and in September, when the number of people decreased, there were always places.
The animation (in German) did not impress us or the child, but this is understandable - more and more focused on the Germans. Archery, pneum. rifles, volleyball, darts, billiards, mini golf, sauna, competitions by the pool - there is something to do if you wish. For children: a big trampoline, a playground, a mini-club (there is a Russian-speaking girl who works with children - they draw, sculpt, glue, come up with various competitions there), mini-disco, children's pools - in my opinion, 3 paddling pools, we swam in big ones. Disco after the evening show, in the conference room, you can’t hear it (which, again, for many can be an advantage when choosing a hotel, especially if you are traveling with children, if you want to dance, if you want to relax quietly).
Internet, hairdresser, shops - under the panorama - bar. Outside the hotel there are shops (souvenirs and other rubbish), on Tuesday and Friday - the market. There is nothing else to watch. We went to the village of Avsalar and Konakli - only shops, I didn’t see anything remarkable either in the shops or in the villages themselves, just a week later we decided to ride around the neighborhood. Minibuses run until 11 o'clock, do not believe taxi drivers who can say that minibuses do not run at 9-10 o'clock - a scam.
In general, there were practically no minuses. We met families from Yekaterinburg, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Germany. All with children, this is not the first time in Turkey, and everyone has the most positive opinions about this hotel. The hotel has not yet been "mastered" by OUR tourists, Russia has been selling it for the second year, Ukraine - the first. We concluded for ourselves that we felt more comfortable when there were fewer “ours”. Shame on our people!! ! Fat women who smoke without leaving the pool, “like tough boys” hung with chains....a complete lack of culture and education! And then, these are the shots, they write reviews on the net and throw mud at Germans, Turks, hotels, service, etc. So everything was great! We recommend Gypsophila Holiday Village to everyone who wants to have a good rest, especially families with children (it will be boring for young people who hang out there). I'm sure you won't regret it!
