The hotel belongs to the TT Pegasos network, the tour operator is exclusively TUI, which could not but rejoice - no one imposed anything and did not scare with stupid horror stories (unlike the guides of one well-known company... up).
In the hotel, in addition to Ukrainians and Russians, there are many Poles, Germans and Turks.
Transfer from the airport took 2 hours by minibus. The hotel is located between the villages of Okurcalar and Avsallar, this is a small village with a local population. Nearby is a public beach, a couple more hotels along the sea, a small market with shops, a hammam, a couple of restaurants and the village itself. So there is no need to count on walks outside the territory.

The hotel has a huge green, very beautiful area. It can be seen that it is carefully looked after - the lawns are mowed, there are nameplates near the trees, there is zoning for different types of plants. Photo shoots are constantly taking place on the territory (there are several photographers in the hotel). Lizards run along the paths and cats meet (there are even funny signs "Caution, cats cross the road" in the parking lots).
We were settled very quickly, the room was given on the second floor above the restaurant, overlooking the sea and the fountain. Surprisingly, the porter who escorted us to the room did not take a tip.
The room is already tired - traces of operation are visible, the drawers in the cabinets were stuck, the air conditioner did not work (they fixed it the next morning during the time we were at the meeting with the guide). Also, for some reason, we were given a third bed on a folding chair-bed, which we could not assemble (either we did not understand how, or it was broken). The bed is large, mattresses and pillows are good and feel like new. The bed is snow-white, the towels have been used for a year (identification tags are sewn on them). TV with a lot of channels, we only included music for the background. Upon arrival in the room, we were waiting for a pack of masks and two bottles of antiseptic. There are enough trempels in the cabinet (10 pcs. ). There are extra pillows. Curtains almost with a blackout effect, they let the light through, but since the window is "recessed" into the wall, this is enough to sleep off if necessary after the road.
The bathroom is quite spacious, there is a lot of space to place your jars-bottles. The shower box is large, there is a ceiling shower and a hose shower. The bidet is built into the toilet, also already tired, so it was not used.
There are no mini-cosmetics, this is due to the fact that the hotel follows an eco-concept. Throughout the territory you can find bins for separate waste collection, calls to save water and electricity. Tuesday is declared an eco day, cleaning is not carried out on this day, but it can be ordered at the reception if necessary. They cleaned well, they took a tip.

The restaurant is spacious, the choice of food is large, there is always meat (also liver and tongue), poultry, fish in different types of cooking. For breakfast, about 10 types of dishes from eggs, sausages, sausages, ham, cheeses. Pancakes and pancakes, as well as donuts. I recommend paying attention to the open grill kitchen - they also offer a lot of delicious food all day long. Always a lot of vegetables, pickles, snacks. There is a separate buffet with a children's menu.
For lunch, two types of soups, chorba, unfortunately, was only twice in 9 days. One day they even offered seafood - marinated mussels, shrimp salad and stuffed squid. Fruits are varied - watermelons, melons, apples, pears, bananas, red and white grapes, plums. The confectionery is delicious, I recommend the spinach biscuit. Once there was red velvet - very tolerable.
For dinner, they always serve the dish of the day, everything is protected by glass, just show what you want. During the day, you can refresh yourself with a burger, pide and fries in the grill kitchen. You can take beer and wine with food, there were no other drinks in the restaurant bar.
There is always enough space, as there is also a restaurant area for smokers. Tables are cleared very quickly. There are always masks at the entrance, they are with drawings for children, there are napkins and antiseptics on all tables, but you have to ask for salt and pepper separately (often the dishes were undersalted).
The beach is large and long, the sand is fine and soft, the sea is very warm and clean, during our vacation the water warmed up to 30 degrees. Small yellow fish swim up to the shore, they are very curious, they can slightly bite on the heel))) We did not swim in the zone of inflatable slides in the sea. There is also a beautiful illuminated pier and two water entertainment areas. There are changing rooms and showers. Bars are open from 10 am to 6 pm, they have water, juices, beer, tea and coffee. There are lifeguards who make sure that on stormy days people do not swim far (there were waves for 2 days).

In the evening it is pleasant to walk around the territory, there is a promenade along the sea. There are three amphitheaters near each of the hotels. The entire area is available for vacationers. There is also a tennis court, football and basketball courts, as well as an archery range, beach volleyball courts. Along the paths there are swing benches where you can sit with a drink. There are bathrooms throughout the area.
Near the pools I saw points for issuing swimming diapers for bathing children, there are locker rooms and sheds. Pools maximum 1.60 deep, there are shallow ones for children. There are two points with ice cream of three types in unlimited quantities.
The hotel has a spa (they also give out beach towels), entice with complex hammam, peeling and massage procedures, and offer a $ 20 discount in honor of arrival. I took the cheapest complex for $ 40 - I liked it, it released the pinched sciatic nerve after the flight. True, then they tried to get additional massage sessions, but they can be understood, this is their income)) Near the spa there is an indoor pool and a small gym.
The hotel has a first-aid post, a beauty salon, shops for clothes, shoes and haberdashery, souvenirs and jewelry, as well as fur and leather. But it’s better to go across the road (if you don’t need clothes) to the Alibaba market store, the assortment is very wide and the prices are affordable. They accept lira, dollar, euro and you can pay by card. If there is a need to skimp on clothes - the nearest mall is in Konakli, about 15 km by bus, the cost is 9 lire per person.
There is also a children's entertainment area - sand drawings, slot machines, electric cars, cotton candy. There are several water slides for adults and children.
Hotel pros:
1. good soundproofing of the room. There were no neighbors behind the wall, there were no activities under the windows, so if you wish, you can go to bed early and nothing but the sound of the surf will be heard. If the doors are reworked a little, then there will be no sounds from the corridor.
2. territory
3. beach
4. food
5. Buddha bar near the Royal building. Very nice place with good music and service. We went there with pleasure, there is one very active and cheerful waiter who quickly remembers your preferences.
6. eco policy of the hotel

7. unobtrusive animation. No one ran and pestered with invitations to participate in activities. Everywhere you could meet the schedule with the location of the event, if you want, you go and take part. Yoga, zumba, step aerobics were held. The rest, apparently, did not occur to us.
Flaws (not cons):
1. It is stated that during meals, waiters will serve you drinks. In fact, we were offered drinks only a couple of times.
2. tasteless beer. Of course, we did not go there to get drunk, but we would like better quality.
3. Wi-Fi is available in the lobby and on the terrace of the restaurant, and with a large crowd of people, it "falls". Paid wifi is expensive.
4. Asian a la carte restaurant, which we chose from a list of Italian, Turkish and Asian. Almost everything was tasteless and even disgusting, especially sushi. The Turks of Asia either do not know how or do not want to cook.
5. soundproofing of doors.
6. In a restaurant, a Turk will serve you first, you will have to put up with such discrimination.
7. sand on the beach is not cleaned or sifted, small debris remains in it.
8. slides, except for one, all old and absolutely not slippery, require restoration.
The disadvantages are not the hotel itself, but related to it:
1. there is no pharmacy nearby. Because of the air conditioners, my throat hurt, I had to stomp 2 km towards Avsallar to the nearest pharmacy. So stock up on all possible medicines.
2. Some contingent occupied sunbeds with their things and left for the whole day. The sunbeds are occupied, but not a soul in the sea or in the pool ((and the Europeans did it too. But most of all, the situation was outraged when we met some lady urinating under a bush 15 steps from the toilet and a German who changed swimming trunks on the beach. . . free Europeans could also stand outside your room and talk to their friends at the other end of the corridor or come to dinner in wet swimsuits.
Late check out cost 25€ until 15:00 (i. e. 3 additional hours).
In general, I would recommend this hotel for a relaxing holiday, but I myself would choose something in a more lively place like Side.
