Last time we were in Adonis in May 2010, the hotel pleased with its location, platform beach and a moderate number of children. A pier for a pleasure boat was added on the beach on the right, now everyone can take a boat trip for $ 40-50, the routes are indicated in the beach elevator cabin. The staff has changed, but remained hospitable and friendly in Turkish. Posted for once. By the way, we arrived at the hotel around midnight (due to Pegasus, who has a bad habit of stealing our time), dinner was already over, but there was a nightly lentil soup, pasta with mushrooms and tea. On our last visit, we had a room with a direct sea view, this time we were offered a choice of suites with an additional charge, or a side suite with a partial view of the sea and the city from the left, we chose a room from the left on the sixth floor, and we did not regret it, a wonderful one was added The view of the city and the sea was also excellent.
In the afternoon we already had a shade, after dinner we could sit quietly on the balcony. When there was a direct view of the sea, then during the day it was not possible to go out to the balcony and the windows were constantly curtained. The furniture in the rooms is still the same, of course, in four years it has not changed for the better, but they changed the TV, put in a plasma.
Adonis still pleases with its cuisine. Freshly baked breakfast buns, salads, vegetables, fruits, several types of meat dishes, rice, pasta, french fries. Last time, dinners were made in an open restaurant, there was also a grill where they cooked trout and tortillas with meat - pedre. Unfortunately this time it was not. Special mention goes to the confectioner who still makes delicious cakes!

The rooms were cleaned every day. Once they asked for four bottles of water, so they began to give us four bottles every day.
Of the minuses, a large number of people who smoke can be noted, and they smoke in the rooms, on the balconies, in the corridors in front of the elevators. But apparently this is an integral part of Russian-Turkish life.
It can be noted that there is a new shopping center "TerraCity", which can be reached by taxi, which is next to the hotel for 10 liras, or on foot for 20-30 minutes, go to the right of the hotel, focusing on the huge Turkish flag at the gas station, having reached it you need to turn right and after 300 meters, on the left side is TerraCity.
From the hotel to the left, along Lara Street, past the unfortunately closed Dedeman water park, having reached the Akra Barut (former Dedeman) hotel, turn to the right, there is a small park with fountains, in the evening they are beautifully illuminated. You can go back along the parallel Ismet Kokshen street, by the way, on the same street, just after leaving the hotel, through the playground, on the right, after 200-300 meters there is HalkBank, the dollar-lira exchange rate is the most profitable there.
At the entrance you take a coupon, wait in line, change money even without a passport, they only asked you to write your last name in Latin. The money was changed clearly, to kurush (these are Turkish pennies). The exchange rate is broadcast on the ninth and tenth channel on TV in Adonis. If you walk along this street for another 300-400 meters, then you will reach the t. Laura, and to the right below it, the next building, st. Tekeleoglu, another center - ShiMall, where on the ground floor, in a multi-brand store, there were good discounts on Levis, Wrangler, Lee, though only male models. All these distances can be traveled by bus, the ticket price, regardless of the distance, is 2 lira per person, enter the front door, pay the driver, preferably on a calculated basis.
Another positive for us is the lack of animation and the disco that took place in the building, it was not heard in the room.

The hotel is for those who lead an active lifestyle and prefer to combine a beach holiday with walks around the city, visiting the shopping center and parks.

P. S.
Look for flaws in a hotel like - I'm not the first time in Turkey, I was in 3.4, 5 stars, but so-and-so, the stain on the tablecloth is such a horror! And people's complaints in the reviews about food, you might think at home for breakfast they eat caviar, and for lunch they are served and served by a lackey from Prague. Throughout the Mediterranean, no one feeds like the Turks, for which they Chok Teshekur Ederim! In a word, whoever seeks what he finds.
