I was satisfied with the hotel and the rest in general. I wanted to describe in detail about good tasty food, a good pool, a good water park with slides and all the other positive things that made me and my family happy. But there are also disadvantages! And plenty of them. And that's what I want to talk about.
The village of Turkler itself, where the hotel is located, is a dull boring place, in the evening there is nowhere to go at all, only a market with fake brands and other rubbish. But in principle, being in Turkish fives, there is no need to go somewhere other than the same bazaar with souvenirs. The sea, such a shitty sea, I see for the first time in many trips to Turkey! It's just trash! The beach is small, dirty (although it is being removed), instead of sand there is some kind of gray crap like earth with sawdust, there are a lot of stones on the shore that prevent entry into the sea, the water is muddy and dirty (when there are waves, and they are almost always), it swims some garbage that accumulates near the breakwater (just near the entrance to the sea from the beach). Terrible in one word! But having sailed a little forward, the sea is clean and transparent. Stones that prevent entering the sea - a couple of meters, then normal. So that's not a problem either.
The hotel is not on the first line, you need to go to the beach for about 10 minutes. Also, a trailer runs to the beach and back, but the schedule is not particularly observed, so it's easier to walk than to wait in the heat. The hotel itself is quite large. But the hotel is huge and for so many people it becomes crowded here. There are always queues for everything. But still the staff works well and copes with such a huge number of vacationers, no collapse happens!

The elevators in the hotel are just pi. . . ts! It never even occurred to me before that one could be dissatisfied with the performance of elevators! They work according to some strange algorithm, devoid of any logic! Waiting for the elevator can be long and tedious, and plus they themselves are slow and stuffy. It is easier and faster to go down on foot. Well, or rise, who is not too lazy and who does not live relatively high.
Wi-Fi Internet. It is simply outrageous that in a five-star hotel with an ultra all inclusive system, you have to pay for Wi-Fi! For 7 days, $12 for one device. You also have to pay for the safe in the room. This is the first time I've seen this in a five-star hotel!
The food is just amazing! Everything is very tasty and in a huge assortment! But you have to queue for the grill. But you can come to the restaurant a little later, there are no more queues and there is enough of everything!
Very big pool and very nice water park!
Music plays very loudly by the pool all day long. If your room overlooks the pool (and this is half of all rooms), and you want to relax in the room in silence during the day - it will not work! No soundproofing! But you didn’t come here to sit in the room!
Guided tours are traditionally one and a half to two times more expensive than crossing the road and buying the same thing at any agency. We did not take excursions, as we rented a car and traveled everywhere on our own. We went to really good beaches, went to the Sapadere canyon, Dimchay, Alanya, Avsallar, Konakli, etc. Very comfortable with a car. They took the Fiat Aegea. A very successful car, as it turned out!
In general, the holiday was a success! But there is no reason to return to Senzu a second time! And the point is not even in the hotel itself, but in the sea and the beach, which are completely useless here : (
