Yesterday arrived, rested in Saturn. The hotel stands in a swamp, surrounded by floodplains on both sides, another hotel is being built on the right, the territory is surrounded by a net, behind which there is construction and other debris, there is very little greenery, it is only growing, but on the 2nd day you don’t notice it. The hotel building is simple and comfortable, modern. We had the most ordinary standard room, but with a huge balcony.

On floor G there is a Turkish bath, sauna, steam room, indoor pool (spa) Were on tour. bath, and then went before dinner to warm up in the sauna and in the pool, the sauna is not bad. On the same floor there is a fitness room, billiards, a couple of shops and the main restaurant. not very big. There was enough space until the Turks arrived to celebrate Bayram. A couple of times I had to wander around the restaurant in search of an empty seat. The food in the restaurant is varied and quite tasty, especially sweets. From drinks: juices, fruit tea, black, green

more: cola, fanta, tonic, local white wine, red wine, beer, cocktails, etc. All drinks are average.

There is a bar on the beach where you can have all the drinks and you can also eat at lunch. About the beach: the beach is sandy, but dirty. Along the entire coast there are pebbles, which were washed away by a storm before our departure. There are some water activities on the beach, but for some reason no one used them. In neighboring hotels, everyone flew over the sea on parachutes, we didn’t have it.

Staff: the feeling is that he is, but he is not (everyone is doing quietly and quickly) everyone is trying to please, they know a little Russian, mostly German. What is nice, on the third day in the restaurant they already knew our tastes, the waiters themselves brought drinks that we preferred. Likewise in bars.

The service is unobtrusive, pleasant, fast. There are also enough Russian speakers for reseption and animation. In animation Ukrainian team Inna from the Rivne region, Belarusian Marina, Sveta, Anya are all good girls.
And never saw them drunk. Tired, yes, from 9.00 to one in the morning, entertain spoiled tourists and children. And we liked the evening shows, of course, not highly intellectual numbers, not super professional, but they fooled around great. On Sheker Bayram there was a separate concert program, a gala dinner, fireworks. No one even tried to divorce us, to fool us, as, for example, in Egypt. Everyone in the hotel is very polite.


I forgot about the main disadvantage. With the onset of dusk, the balcony cannot be opened, air conditioning. You can't turn it on, you'll suffocate. Smells like sewer. We later found a way out: we closed the vents on the balcony in the floor with a towel, but did not turn on the air conditioner, opened the balcony and slept like that. But this is possible at the end of September, beginning. October, but not in July-August, when there is no air conditioning. not enough. Towels are changed every day, cleaned carefully, there is no theft. I lost my mobile on the first day. phone in a cafe. The waitress found and returned to the reseption.
In general, the hotel deserves 4 *, it does not pull 5 *, but over time the trees will grow, the construction will end nearby, the garbage will be removed, it is desirable that the sand on the beach be sifted, the ventilation in the rooms adjusted, and then we'll see.
By and large, in all of Mediterranean Turkey there is nothing more to do than sleep and eat, unless, of course, what you do at home is that you visit a sauna, a fitness club, a swimming pool, tennis, etc. , yes, and you still live on the coast seas.
