Before evaluating a hotel, we remember the price we paid for it and understand that we cannot go to hotels for 3 thousand USD. and for one and a half equivalent claims. For the low price, don't expect much. There are no terrible shortcomings here, but there are a lot of pluses. The territory of the hotel is small, the pool is right in front of the main building, followed by a snack bar and then the beach. We liked that there was little walking and that the sea was very, very close. The beach is wide, good awnings, no umbrellas, lots of sun loungers, there was enough space for everyone. Sunset in the sea is small pebbles, but we didn’t need special shoes, even children calmly entered. The sea is very warm, clean, the water is clear, deep already after 4-5 meters. Nutrition. Standard Turkish breakfasts: scrambled eggs, fried eggs, pancakes, liquid chocolate, yoghurts, Turkish delight, various cheeses, sausage, sausages, cereals, cookies, waffles, dried apricots, raisins, oatmeal for children, boiled eggs. A lot of fruits: grapes, watermelons, melons, oranges, plums, apples, grapefruits, and fruits for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
For lunch and dinner, 2 types of soups, several side dishes, 3 types of meat, 1 type of fish, a large variety of cheeses, vegetables, fruits, salads, a lot of sweets, various pastries, cakes. There is never a queue for breakfast and lunch. There is for dinner, but only because people civilly stand one after another, and do not crowd near the distribution, all hot dishes are in one line behind the glass and they are given out by employees, timed - the queue can last 3-5 minutes, once 7, but at the same time you pass one after another along all the dishes and you are given as much as you want. If you do not come to the beginning of dinner, then there is no queue, and if something ends, they carry more, they specially checked for the sake of interest) They came an hour after the start of dinner, everything that was sorted out at the beginning was reported, and at the same time there is no queue. Coffee machines are available in the main restaurant, snack bar and pool bar. Good tasty coffee, cappuccino, children took hot chocolate. Also in these three locations are refrigerators with bottled water and lemonade. You can take it yourself in unlimited quantities.
Snack bar from 12 to 16. Nuggets, hamburgers, vegetables, french fries, fruits. Gozleme cakes are baked. Alcohol is only local. The bartenders are friendly and make delicious cocktails. A pool with 6 slides, it is cleaned every morning, the slides are cool, they work on time, from 10 to 12, from 14 to 16. Near the bungalow behind the main building there is a small pool with a children's slide, very shallow. There's a mini club. Room cleaning was daily. In the hotel itself, there are automated antiseptics everywhere and on the counter near the restaurant there are free masks for vacationers.

Rooms. We were offered a room with a sea view for an additional fee, but we were satisfied with the view of the garden in the main building. The room is clean, new, beautiful, everything worked properly. Only the hair dryer did not work well, it was very buzzing and not very powerful. The room has disposable slippers, liquid soap is poured into dispensers. Pay attention to the girls that there is no shampoo, it’s good that I took it from home, otherwise I would have to buy it. Vacationers complained that in the bungalow behind the main building, where the family rooms are old renovation, although they cost much more than a standard room. . . Apparently there have not been updates there for a long time, maybe because of the crisis. Of the minuses: Internet is free only in the lobby, sooooo weak, we bought extra, but the paid one worked perfectly throughout the territory. In the grocery store on the ground floor, the sellers are boorish, but in the nearby clothing store they are good and polite. We walked around the area, and so in the shopping center near the hotel in grocery stores everything is much cheaper, 3 times, and something even 5 times! But things are also worth it, it makes no sense to go somewhere.
Beach towels for a $10 deposit. Money will be returned upon check out. Sometimes they saved money and turned on the air conditioner weakly in the lobby, don't do it, you want coolness in the hotel. And sometimes it was cool, sometimes hot. We have something to compare with, we were in more expensive hotels, I can say about Meridia that I am grateful for our budget vacation, everything was great, and yes, I recommend the hotel to my friends, maybe I myself will return someday.
