The main disappointment from the hotel is my compatriots, who are always whining, dissatisfied with everything, capricious, demonstratively squeamish. They depict something in front of each other, tell what magically expensive and beautiful places they have visited, and here, in this barn, they are completely by accident. And everything is not right for them, and everything is not good. The hotel is new, clean, stylish and modern decor.
From the pros:
1. Very friendly staff. I checked in after dinner, the administrator, without unnecessary persuasion, expectations and dollars, provided me with a room, as I asked, while apologizing that the room was on the 7th floor, issued a card for towels and a schedule for the hotel services. The maid cleaned the room on time and conscientiously, including the balcony. Towels were changed on demand, consumables replenished regularly. The waiters and bartenders are always polite, patient and unobtrusive.

2. The equipment of the room is beyond praise. I was pleased that the room had a safe, drinking water, a kettle, cups and tea and coffee for free. TV with a panel of various connectors and a very clear control panel. All rooms are the same! Beds for 2 + 1 people, bedside tables, a console table, a chair in front of a huge round mirror, a refrigerator, a suitcase stand, a wardrobe with a mezzanine and a drawer at the bottom. Yes, there are no shelves in the closet, T-shirts, briefs, bras have to be stored in a suitcase, but there are more than enough hangers!
3. I can't say anything bad about the bar! The guys work hard, they try to please everyone. Neither "singed" whiskey, nor sour beer came across. I think these are the fantasies of poorly rested people.
4. I won’t even talk about food. More than enough choice. At the same time, everything is fresh every day, no yesterday's products under the guise of a salad with mayonnaise. For lunch and dinner, a table with sweets, a table with fruit is served. Ice cream is served during the day, a table with snacks and coffee is set in the afternoon, a woman bakes gozleme on the beach. Maybe I haven’t tried anything sweeter than carrots, but people who believe that there is nothing to eat in the hotel and the choice is small - they really snickered.
5. The pool is large, clean, there are enough sun loungers for everyone. There is a "water park" with one slide, serviceable, but for some reason not popular. The announced animation is carried out on time, both on the beach and in the pool. Those who want to have fun - have fun, but most of the guests are an inert mass, like me, they don’t stick to those.
6. The beach is equipped with everything you need, but nothing more. Drinks are non-alcoholic only. Toilet. Dressing room. Outdoor shower. Stationary umbrellas, deck chairs, mattresses. Towels are issued at the hotel in the hamam on cards for free and without a deposit. There is only one condition - to return before 19 hours, so that they have time to wash. The entrance to the sea is cut down 30 meters wide, along a pebble, very soft, but quickly descends into the depths "along the neck", which is not very popular with those who cannot swim. Or descend from the platform over the sea, it is convenient for "waterfowl". I didn’t see cigarette butts, bits, splinters, sticks, Christmas trees on the beach, I can’t call the beach dirty, although the coverage of the beach is not the best.

7. The territory is very small, but well-groomed, there are benches. The hotel has a grocery store with everything you might need, a clothing store, a hairdresser. Entrance from the street. There is a pay phone, you can make very cheap calls to Russia to landline phones. The Internet is in the hotel even in the rooms and on the beach, but weak. If necessary, it is better to go out to the lobby or work at night. Hamam $25, well equipped, you can buy a follow-up massage course.
Of the minuses:
1. Lack of soundproofing between rooms. You can hear everything who snores, who farts, who sneezes, drains water, has sex, watches TV at night.
2. Ventilation in the room is extremely insufficient, there is a constant smell of sewerage in the bathroom.
3. The shower cabin is nice, but uncomfortable. You need a full-fledged door so that water does not pour over the entire bathroom.
The slope of the floor in the shower is not enough, the water does not drain into the drain hole, but just sits until it dries.
4. Crossing the road on a high bridge. Not everyone can run up and down stairs several times a day!
5. Beach. The sand is very dirty, with small sharp inclusions. The impression is that this is sand from some construction site, a mixture with crushed concrete. The feet are constantly dirty, on the third day the soles from such sand began to hurt, as if scratched.
The cleaning of the beach is not enough. By the opening of the beach, yesterday's ashtrays, disposable tableware on tables and sunbeds, and other waste products of tourists remain. The deck chairs are in disarray, rubbish on the floor.
As a conclusion:
1. I would not recommend the hotel to those who are accustomed to a calm and shallow sea, accustomed to the fact that the depths begin half a kilometer from the coast. The sea is deep here.
2. I do not recommend the hotel to those who are used to going out for a walk along the boulevard after dinner, to see people, to show themselves, to shop. Here the nearest "boulevard" is Barbarossa Street in Mahmutlar, which still needs to be stomped a kilometer away.
3. I do not recommend the hotel to families with children. The sea is not conducive to children's recreation, there is no children's animation, the "paddling pool" is very cute and comfortable, but for children of kindergarten age.

Personally, I liked the stay at the hotel, I did not receive any unpleasant surprises. Read reviews, treat them critically, sharing emotions and objectively existing realities, make an informed choice and then your vacation will be the most enjoyable!
