We stayed at the hotel during the autumn holidays. We arrived on 10/20/21 early in the morning, they said to wait for check-in not earlier than 12 o'clock. We went for breakfast, went to the reception and our room was already ready (because we had already rested at this hotel again). We were given a room in building 1 on the second floor overlooking the pool, the room was old, it was very stuffy, the sun shone through the window all day, and it was noisy. We went back to reception and said we would wait for another room. And they themselves went to rest by the pool. We arrived at the appointed time, we were given a room to choose from in buildings 5 ​ ​ and 6, in 5 it was very smoky, and we chose in 6, it was smaller than in 1, but newer, quiet and comfortable.
They wanted to change the standard to a family one, but they asked for 150 euros, and for a villa 100 euros per day - we refused. After 6 days, friends flew to us, we asked them in advance to settle on our floor, and they settled next to us. Thanks to the hospitality Olga for her help in this matter and for the presents. For the return visit and for the wedding anniversary, we received a beach bag as a gift, a cup, wine with fruit in the room, and they decorated a table in the restaurant (for free) and solemnly brought a cake in the shape of a heart, also decorated the room, brought flowers and a postcard. It was very nice for such attention.
The weather was quite good all the time. Sea +23 - +24, air +27 - +32. Only on the last day it was +23. Enough enjoyed the sun and swam in the sea. The pools were already cold, the water park worked, but few people rode the slides, as well as swam in the pools. Here in the indoor pool there were many children and adults. It was also possible to warm up in the free sauna and hammam nearby.

There was enough space on the beach, not close to the sea, but to the left of the beach at the end you could always find a free sunbed. There are small pebbles in front of the sea, we didn’t need safety shoes.
There are no complaints about nutrition - a lot of varied and tasty food. Every day themed dinners - oriental cuisine, Mexican, fish day, etc. Before entering, they were treated to drinks - champagne, tequila, brandy...
In the restaurant you take food yourself, there are sanitizers at the entrance, they give out masks, and in each row at the end you can also take a mask, plus the staff walks and hands it to those who do not have it. On the territory there are a sufficient number of bars where there are drinks of local and imported production. At the entrance to the beach there is a bar with soft drinks, on the left there are two bars where they make delicious cocktails. You can have a bite to eat in the snack bar, from 12 pm They make gozleme with cheese, meat and chocolate, there are vegetable snacks nearby. Ice cream was given in any amount from 10 am to 6 pm, both in plastic cups and in waffle cones. The bar I liked the most was the one at the reception. Especially the bartender (he looked like our TV presenter Slava Solomko to me), he was always positive and made delicious cocktails. From alcohol we liked Baileys, Ballantines whiskey, tequila, from cocktails: mojito, bloody Mary, Baileys cocktail with coffee...
The hotel closed on 11/01/21, food became more modest every day, because. new products were no longer imported, but they managed with what they had. We got to the Republic Day, a lot of locals came for the weekend and immediately the cuisine became richer. There were fireworks for this holiday, an interesting show.
Since the end of the season, the staff has also become less. Luna Park (it's free) worked from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm, children's animators worked in it, who worked with children in the kids club in the morning (drawing, sculpting, playing, doing face painting). Children received certificates for participating in competitions. Animators and many staff from the CIS countries.

Every evening there were shows, after - a disco, karaoke, there was an Oktoberfest holiday, where there were a lot of beer and treats, it was very fun and festive.
Wi-Fi is free, worked well almost throughout and on the beach too.
Near the hotel there is a market, and if you walk about 20 minutes on the highway to the left, you will find Migros and many more different shops and markets.
In general, we really liked the hotel, I think everything is super there in the season. We had a great rest, thanks to my husband and friends.
