We arrived on June 4th and the hotel only opened on June 3rd. Therefore, there were few people, or rather it was not visible at all. It was just a wonderful time. They settled us after dinner, at 14 o'clock. The room is wonderful: large and spacious with a view of the sea; the balcony is also large, in the evenings it was nice to sit and watch the animation; The room has 2 beds, one double and one single.
Everything in the rooms was completely new, it was even uncomfortable to sleep on the pillows, since no one had slept on them. : ) The TV, when I turned it on, did not work, but after poking around in the settings, I easily set it up. And it was surprising to hear when meeting with the guide that the men say that the TVs do not work in their rooms. Although the brains would be turned on sometimes, but by the way, our tourists are always not satisfied with many things, it really seems that everyone was blue-blooded, they grew up in palaces.
Hairdryer in the room was present, which was important for me.

The food is delicious, we personally liked it very much. The variety of dishes was impressive. The chicken was very tasty, potatoes, pasta, rice, all this with spices. A lot of greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, for the Russians there were also pickles, which was pleasing. For breakfast they gave delicious jam, and for dinner various cakes and Turkish sweets (many Russians did not like them, the Turks only ate them like that). According to your taste, I think you can find what to eat. You definitely won't leave hungry there. I just didn’t dare to eat salads with mayonnaise, but it didn’t scare people : )
I really liked the cakes that the Turkish woman baked on the beach. I usually used them at 11 o'clock, at 12 we already went for lunch. For an afternoon snack, we went willingly, they baked pede or pide there, I don’t know for sure. It's like pizza, only spicy. Terribly delicious.
At the reception they understand Russian, but not everyone. They usually have 2-3 people at the reception, everyone speaks different languages. One day we smelled from the sink, we had to go to the reception. I explained to the Turk in Russian, accompanying the speech with gestures, he understood everything : ))))), wrote it down. And after 30 minutes they came to our room and did everything that was needed. We were already surprised at the efficiency, we thought they would only come the next day.
We went to the Turkish bath at the hotel. In general, everything is wonderful there, but for $ 40. But for 3 hours they only deal with you, and for $ 25, all procedures are carried out by the assembly line. Who was in other places did not like such mass character. And here in the hotel we relaxed and rested.
Excursions are better to take on the street, much cheaper. Near the hotel there is one agency called "Hummingbird", we took 2 excursions from them. There, it is not the Turks who lure you on excursions, but our Russians Olya and Sasha. It’s nice to talk with them, even they went to smoke a hookah one evening.
In general, in Mahmutlar there is where to take a walk. We fell in love with this town. We went to the market once, we didn’t buy much there, and then you can find it cheaper in shops, and even bargain. The market comes on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
I want to talk about the beach. Sunbeds, umbrellas - good, but the entrance to the water was sometimes a hassle. Then we swam from the pier, although I heard how once people were driven from there from our hotel. The pier belongs to neighboring houses. Yes, everyone swam there anyway, because it’s convenient. : )))

At the end of the holiday we were in for a surprise not very pleasant. At 12 o'clock on the last day of rest, we were evicted from the room, and we left the suitcases with bags in the storage room. We had sweets stolen from this room. Turns out they don't close it. But apparently those who took the suitcases stole it, and most likely the Russians, which is the most disgusting of all. And they didn’t take everything, but chose only the most expensive and delicious. We wished them, of course, a "pleasant" journey and stomach ulcers.
At the reception they told the Russian girl that sweets were stolen from us, and she tells us what you want from me. We think it’s normal, my sister asked me, what if the suitcases were stolen, she told us that then we would fly without suitcases. In general, such a S... ka, you can immediately see from Russia. If I were the director, I wouldn’t hire Russians at all, let them go to the Krasnodar Territory to work. Even abroad, it is rudeness to endure. They did not have a book of complaints, supposedly not completed yet, she said. Laughter and nothing more.
But this incident did not spoil the impression of the rest, we had a good rest, just wonderful. We went with Pegasus, but I don’t see any difference with whom to ride with, everything always goes according to the same scenario.
