Hello! I stayed here with my husband and two year old daughter. The hotel has its pros and cons. Pros. Very beautiful territory of the hotel, 5 different pools - expanse for children, the sea is very close, right on the beach - a snack bar where they cook awesome Turkish pizza in the oven. We really liked the hotel staff - especially the waiters and chefs, all smiling, friendly and trying to please in everything. For example, during the day and in the evening we asked in a restaurant to pour milk into a bottle for our baby - "no problem! Do you want hot or cold? " In general, children are treated very friendly in Turtash. In the evening after dinner, we went out for a walk outside the hotel and the waiters from Turtash (who had finished their shift) who met on the way recognized us, already from afar waved their hand affably and wished us good night. Don't miss the Turkish bath! The best master - Masseur Ayhan, does all the procedures (body peeling, foam treatment) very diligently, and the whole body massage is just AWESOME!! ! The sea is beautiful, but unfortunately there are huge stones with sharp edges at the bottom 3-6 meters from the shore - you can get hurt badly. I advise you to buy special slippers.
Minuses. The rooms are average, we got in the main building on the ground floor. Climate, TV, hair dryer, hot water - everything is in order, BUT: poor cleaning of the rooms. They wash the floors and change the linen every other day, that's all. By the way, linen and bedspreads come across with huge holes and brown spots! Just a disgrace for 4 stars! The next day they gave a tip and got everything new and snow-white. The bathroom and the toilet are gray (they are probably cleaned a couple of times a year), they don’t look at the balcony at all, dust, sand are normal. Due to the highly chlorinated water in the pool, many, including me, had earaches (inflammation inside the ear - it hurts even to talk! ) I told the reception about my problem, after 10 minutes a nurse arrived and drove me to a small clinic (less than 1 km drove) . They accepted without a queue instantly, 2 minutes of inspection + injection + two prescriptions = 90 Euro! We immediately stocked up at the pharmacy, bought pills (helped). In the same pharmacy, several tourists bought special disposable earplugs for swimming in the pool - so be aware.
Nutrition. At first glance, your eyes just run wide, on the 2nd day you understand that everything is repeating itself, on the 6th day my husband told me that he wants borscht and fried meat and would rather go home "to eat normally! " And in principle, I liked all the dishes, but I didn’t like the lack of fish dishes and more than a modest selection of fruits - only watermelons and oranges. Everything! So do not expect to overeat exotic fruits and fish here, as is usually the case when relaxing at sea. Alcoholic drinks are very diluted, a couple of times they took whiskey with cola and vodka - it was impossible to drink, then they took only red wine for dinner. Fact: not a single drunk was seen during the entire vacation! - still, if you make five from one bottle of whiskey - where can you get drunk : -)

On Wednesdays, right in front of the hotel is a bazaar, bargain without hesitation, drop the price by 2-3 times - checked. We are not picky people and in general we liked the holiday. But we won't come back here for the second time. I wish you all a pleasant holiday in Turkey!
