The hotel is very far from the airport, so even if you arrive in Turkey in the morning, you will find yourself at the hotel in the afternoon. And on the way back, they will pick you up 5 hours before departure and you are guaranteed a sleepless night. We were put in a room with a sea view - from the balcony you could see the strip of the sea, but basically it was a view of the highway, quite noisy. The air conditioner was constantly buzzing behind the wall. Hanging wet things (towels, swimwear, for example) is provided on the dryer, on which water constantly drips from the air conditioner.
There is no curtain in the room itself to cover the balcony. The curtain on the window is short - you can either cover it halfway on the right or on the left. I had to tape it to the wall. During the rain, this window flooded so that the water soaked the plastered window sill and flowed down to the floor in streams. During the week of our stay, the maids visited us once - they removed the garbage and smeared someone's long black hair on the floor. Floor - tiles. We advise you to take slippers with thick soles - it is cold and slippery. Instead of beds, 2 mattresses are stacked one on top of the other. The bedspread is similar in structure to a waffle towel. Speaking of towels - they gave us 2 large ones and that's it. The TV broadcasts one Russian channel - NTV. The rooms always hear the noise of transport, neighbors, maids on the floors, TV and air conditioners outside the walls.
Bathroom: we noticed almost immediately that it was impossible to close the doors in the shower stall, because there were none at all. They ran from one building to another from the fourth floor to 55 steep steps and back (there is no elevator), the administrator called a specialist who brought the two missing doors and somehow nailed them (they then diverged in different directions and did not close). Of the toiletries, only 2 small soaps and a roll of toilet paper. There was a hair dryer - to use it, you need fairly strong fingers, you have to press with all your might; a bare wire was sticking out of the hair dryer in places and the back cover was lagging behind. The door handle kept falling off no matter how hard we tried to screw it on. The shower drain is clogged with the same black hair and sand. The floor is tiled throughout the bathroom, instantly splashed with water and becomes terribly slippery.

Once killed a cockroach.
All-inclusive food: the same thing every day - boiled eggs and scrambled eggs for breakfast, sugary sweet jams, unbearably salty cheeses, olives. For lunch, pasta, fish with small bones, chicken, eggplant, meat stew with vegetables, corn, beans. For dinner, the same thing as for lunch, only cakes were added (peculiar, for an amateur, in consistency, like semolina and other cereals). The only fruit is watermelon. Drinks - powdered juices, different concentrations and colors, depending on the time of day and their analysis by visitors. Invariably caused heartburn. Tea already brewed from the machine, weak, without aroma and taste. In the evenings, an elderly Turkish woman sat by the pool and cooked cakes with some kind of greens, she gave them out only for money - there was a special bowl for money nearby. The wine kept running out. The range of alcohol is very modest.
Animation Entertainment: the animator boor - called everyone collective farmers, and once spilled that the parents did not applaud their children loudly enough during the children's disco and shouted that the mothers were sitting drunks and the collective farm. Once there was a so-called fire show - there is also a photo. One half-naked man with a loincloth swallowed some liquid from a bottle and immediately exhaled - a flame ignited. And so for half an hour.
Wifi is very weak - even at the reception is unstable. The room was never able to connect it.

Beach: drive two blocks to Ataturk Avenue, then cross the zebra road and walk to Beach 15. Drinks and food are not allowed to be brought in, it is suggested to buy at the beach bar. For sun loungers and an umbrella you need to pay at the reception. Bring your own beach towel as they don't provide one here. The beach with small pebbles (as drainage for indoor plants) is littered with cigarette butts, and the beach staff also smoke. Entry into the sea is almost impossible - first, along the shore, a wide slippery slab, then stones with sharp edges. The water is dirty. One evening we decided to take a walk along the embankment, hoping to breathe in the healing sea air, but instead of the smell of iodine-bromine and seaweed, all the way we smelled only a disgusting smell of sewage and rot, as if we were at a sewage treatment plant.
Please note that there are no refrigerators in the rooms. However, it is forbidden to bring food and drinks into the rooms, but the cores and not only need water, but water can be drawn from the cooler. Water coolers are a different story - hoses are installed at the back, through which condensate with dirt and dust flows into the bucket. When the bucket is full, the liquid is drained back into the cooler. Glasses are washed badly - as proof of the photo. Often glasses with broken edges - be careful not to injure yourself.
In the evening before departure, we asked to prepare a lunch box for us on the road. It was funny, but predictable, that it consisted of one roll, in which there were 2 thin and tiny circles of chemical sausage, the roll was wrapped in cling film.
