It was my first vacation abroad, and perhaps that's why there were practically no minuses (or I didn't notice them : )
Everything in the room was clean and tidy, we were seated immediately. The only negative is the non-working TV, which even after 2 requests at the reception, no one came to fix it.
On the beach there were enough sunbeds and umbrellas for everyone, we took our own towels. The water is warm, not so dirty. But the entrance to the water is not very convenient, you can stumble upon stones, you have to go carefully.
The food was always in sufficient quantity, a lot, especially delicious desserts. Nobody got poisoned.
We just don’t really like animation, so we didn’t go to their performances.
The territory of the hotel itself is not very beautiful, there are no places to walk, so we walked around all the neighborhoods in the evening. It's not scary, no one pestered, the streets were clean, smooth and lit.

We took 1 excursion not from an official guide, but on the street from a Russian-speaking girl (if you leave the hotel, how to go to the sea, turn right and walk for 10-15 minutes on foot). The bus picked us up right outside our hotel at the appointed time. All services agreed in advance are included in the tour (all entrance fees, lunch). We haven't paid anything yet. Although other ripples were traveling with us on the same bus, who bought here in another tourist kiosk (also on the street) for the same money as we did, but they additionally paid for lunch and tickets to museums. There is a double-edged sword here. Personally, we were very lucky and it turned out half the price than from the official hotel tour operator. We went to Side and saw the temple of Apollo, Apendos (the amphitheater is very beautiful), and Kursunlu - a waterfall and just a beautiful park.
