I waited until the emotions subsided and I could objectively write a review. I must say right away that I was in Turkey with my family for the first time and there is nothing to compare with. Before leaving, having read all the reviews about the hotel, we were ready for anything. We arrived at the hotel at about 6:00 pm and were checked in immediately, without any problems.
1. Our room was not in the main building of the hotel, but in a one-story room overlooking the pool. Everything in the room worked well. There was a large double bed, one and a half and a cot for the baby. The downside was the electronic key, without which the air conditioner did not work, but this is not so important, because. within 15-20 minutes of the air conditioner and the temperature in the room is quite comfortable. The room was cleaned daily, towels changed every other day. You could clearly see the quality of cleaning when you leave a tip. Without a tip, the quality of cleaning is much worse. Bedding is changed at the hotel every three days.
2. The pool is quite big. There were no problems with sun loungers near the pool. Before breakfast (about 9 o'clock) it was really possible to find a couple - three free ones. Yes, there were no free ones around the perimeter of the pool, but there were as many as you like in the second row. Water Chlorine smelled only the first day (then probably got used to it). On the beach, if you search, you could find a couple of sunbeds at any time. I do not understand why they say that there are no free!

3. Nutrition. I will say right away - there is no meat in the usual pork and beef form. There was chicken, which was immediately chosen by hungry men, soy sausages and something remotely resembling soy meat. Fish - a lot, but mostly herring. Once there was trout and something like pollock. A lot of vegetables. In addition, there were always the usual pasta and potatoes (fries and crushed potatoes). Large selection of sweets. From fruits - grapes, plums, green melon, watermelons, oranges. I will not say that my husband is a vegetarian, but he did not starve. After reading the reviews, I was terribly afraid of dirty appliances and dishes, but everything was fine - the spoons, forks, and knives were clean. The only thing - a couple of times I noticed washed disposable glasses at the pool bar.
4. Alcohol is so-so. When they write bad beer, vodka is not tasty, etc. I involuntarily have a question: My dear, what did you want for that kind of money? Yes, it is clearly felt that ALL alcohol is diluted with water. You can drink beer, you didn’t like wine, vodka is bad, national raki vodka is reminiscent of PEKTUSIN. Children are accustomed to drinking water, so they did not take diluted Pepsi, Fanta, concentrated drinks.
5. Having read and heard a lot of reviews about the hammam, I went with my husband.
I'll tell you right now, I didn't like it. These annoying Turks know their business very well - during the massage they constantly try to hurt you by pressing on the pain points, thereby making you very sick, who will only be helped by their massage ($25 one procedure). The peeling that they do - does not give any effect! After their hammam - the skin rolls and peels even more.
6. Guide Sergey is a pleasant young man who is on his own mind. He talks and talks a lot and interestingly, but in fact - nothing. Transfers to their malls are free - only the malls are expensive. Does not recommend or advise contacting locals in order to avoid problems. Although the same excursions that the guides of the local population are much cheaper in the agency across the road.
7. The territory of the hotel as such is not special. We went for a walk to the nearby Green Hill Hotel. There is more territory. In the evening there is no animation as such. For children - cartoons, disco. For adults - a disco, but we did not go there.
Wrede would not have missed anything. As a result, I can say - if you are going for positive emotions, the sea, the sun, a great mood, and not stuffing your stomach with food and alcohol, you will like it. What I went for, I got. Negative - it is always there, where they are looking for it! We were not looking for something to complain about, but just rested and we liked it!
