Hello! just returned from this hotel today. I just want to write a review about a wonderful holiday in this hotel. traveled in a large group of 13 people with kids. the youngest is 1 year 4 months old, the oldest is 11 years old (ktstai celebrated his birthday there). So I'll start everything in order.
We flew with the operator Pegasus. Unfortunately, two days before departure, we found out that the departure time of the plane was postponed. And instead of 16:30, the flight was scheduled for 22:30. not very convenient with small children. It looks like they were on the road all night. We arrived at the hotel around 4 am. As a present, they brought a bottle of vodka for the staff at the reception. Three standard rooms were booked for us. But having received a present, Mehmet (at the reception) offered us two family rooms and one standard. Family is different in that the room has one large bed and two-story. We settled on the first floor with two families, rooms 1036 and 1039. And the standard was given on the 5th floor, room 5023. We lived in room 1039. Nice room, no complaints, everything worked. the furniture is ok too. brought a baby crib. It's just that the location isn't great. View of the neighboring hotel, almost no sun. Linens took a very long time to dry. Yes, and a constant hum from the refrigerators of the neighboring hotel. Yes, and another plus to everything is a trash can from a neighboring hotel. so we didn't like it. The next day I approached Mehmet, explained the situation, and the next day we were moved to room 1002. This is from the opposite side. At first we liked everything there, and the sun, and the view is beautiful, and there is no noise. And then we noticed that in our room constant dampness. couldn't figure out why at first. And then I realized that under us there was a drainage system along the way. Because under the balcony I saw a small building and a bunch of all sorts of pipes. Of course, we did not like this dampness very much. But we kind of got used to it. Because most of the time spent in the hotel.
About the territory: very cozy and compact. Everything is within walking distance. With children, this was important for us. We could almost always see them. The pool is very comfortable, there is a small pool for kids. I liked that it was covered with an awning. Therefore, without fear of getting burned, the kids frolicked there. Three slides worked from 10:00 to 12:00 and from 16:00 to 18:00. Our children disappeared there, frolic. Nearby there is a bar, as well as a clearing for relaxation. there are lots of big pillows. It was very comfortable to stay there with a baby. there, a pleasant grandmother baked cakes. Very very tasty. Next was the descent to the sea.

I want to say that there were always enough sunbeds both at the pool and on the beach. Towels for a deposit. 10 dollars each, then at the end of the holiday they return the money.
About food: varied, tasty. I am surprised at those people who write that there is nothing to eat. Some strange ones. It's like they eat at home if they have nothing to eat here... in the morning scrambled eggs, just boiled eggs, various slices of cheese, sausage. Only now I was surprised that you don’t take the coblas yourself, but the granny gives it out. They also baked delicious pancakes almost every day. Also a lot of pastries for breakfast, vegetables, yoghurts, etc. so they weren't hungry. I even found food for the baby, not talking about myself. for lunch there is also a variety of food. Everything is very delicious. Places in the restaurant have always been, you can inside and you want on the street. Soups are just unique. We Russians are not used to such things. A couple of times for dinner they gave borsch !!! ! Surprisingly delicious!!! ! Fruits have always been in abundance: apples, oranges, watermelons, melons, apricots, peaches. In one review they wrote that there was no fruit... strange, we had it. Dinner was also very tasty. Every day something was cooked on a fire in the street. The kids ate ice cream every evening from 19:00!
About the sea: really the only negative is the sea... The beach is pebbly. Entering the sea is very difficult. but we bought corals and the problem was solved. The sea is not to say that warm, but comfortable. Many write about the cold sea in this hotel at this time of year. Indeed, after a couple of hotels, the Lara River flows into the sea. so that's where the cold current comes from. Just like a contrast shower, now warm then cold. At the end of June, they said that the sea was already getting warm. And we were not lucky with the weather. it was stormy all the days and so we swam in the sea a couple of times. Jumped with older children on the waves. Cool! Once it was so stormy that the water even reached the sunbeds. And the waves were just huge! like in the ocean! So don't forget the corals with you!!!
Territory: just a beautiful garden! There were no words. Beauty! Kudos to the gardener! Everything is clean, trimmed, tidied up. Lots of palms, flowers, bushes. There it turns out that there are two roads leading from the building. One is the one that leads to the pool, and the other is just a path through the park. At the end they merge into one, near the bar. So this garden, it's just amazement... such pictures turned out cool.

In conclusion, I want to say that the hotel is really good!! ! The fact that there were not enough rooms for the arriving tourists and they were moved to other hotels speaks volumes. This hotel is valued and in demand. a lot of Turks, Poles, Czechs, Germans.
And for those who write negative reviews, I want to say the following: if you are determined to look for flaws, then you will find them anyway. Is that just the point??? ? After all, you need to rest on the positive!! ! especially since the prices in this hotel are the most budget-friendly! If you want a better hotel, go to expensive hotels. But there, the price will increase significantly. I have been to hotels in Turkey many times, and I have always opted for expensive hotels, the price of which is much different from Stella. So I'll tell you, my dears, in principle, I didn’t feel much difference. What is the sea, what is here. There may be more choice of food in expensive hotels, but we didn’t go hungry here either.
I also want to mention the animation team! guys well done! Everyone is so cheerful and welcoming. I would especially like to note the main animator, in my opinion his name is Mogis. and of course Alex!!! ! Give them a big hello to everyone who goes to Stella to rest!
The only thing I would like to draw attention to the hotel administration is the elevators! This is where you really need to come up with something. two elevators, for such an enormous number of people, it's just some kind of nightmare. We had to wait a very long time. Especially during rush hour. But you can, of course, walk up the stairs on foot, but it was not very convenient for me with a small child in a stroller.
The staff is also always very friendly, everyone is friendly to everyone without exception, be it Russian or German.
So, go to Stella! And don't listen to negative reviews!
