The vacation went well, I was with my wife and daughter 9 years old from June 12.2009 for one week.
Cons: Small selection of food, same menu every day. On the third day, I did not want to go to the main restaurant to eat. Fish in all manifestations of cooking - tin !! ! From fruits: oranges, apples, cherry plums and watermelons (they ate mostly watermelons, sour oranges, and last year's apples) Strawberries and cherries could only be bought at a store near the hotel. Oddly enough, but by the end of the dinner there might not have been any cakes, although they are also not tasty. We visit Turkey every year, this year the food is a disaster.
Ice cream on schedule. Freshly squeezed juices - only from oranges, which no one takes in a restaurant, for money (4 Turkish liras) and only for breakfast.

Animation Entertainment: they try all day, spend some kind of entertainment, but in the evening the performances are not interesting, there was no "Turkish night". The animator dances well belly dance - Olya! SUPER !! ! (big plus) for a week once pampered us with such a spectacle, and that's it... Animators are Turks and Russians, although there were 2 blacks, but they did not understand my English - the Turks probably.
The hotel is inhabited by 3/4 Turks from Istanbul, foreigners can be counted on the fingers of the rest - Russians and Belarusians. The competitions were attended by Turks, Turks, Turks and Russians, or Slovaks.
Plumbing in public places is old, and if something breaks, they don’t repair it, perhaps the crisis is to blame...
On the seashore, the bar opens at 10 o'clock, only drinks, food begin to be given at 12, which is also annoying, because. far from the hotel. In short, they were starving, although he recovered by 2 kg.
Pros: All bars have Gin, Vodka, Baileys; at the reception and in the garden there is Rum - I drank Cuba Libra (rum, cola, lemon juice), although there is no free Tequila anywhere. In the evenings in the "Cocktail Bar" they make "Baileys" with a mixer - I recommend that they still grind ice there, for those who have a weak throat - do not try. My wife was sick for a week after 2 such cocktails; Coffee, tea, even in bags - delicious.
Choose rooms so that the balcony overlooks the garden, otherwise there will be a view of reeds and the steppe, there is nothing near the hotel. For example, our number was 8210, i. e. 8 building 2 floor 10 room. The view is awesome. In the evenings there is live music in the garden, many songs are sung in Russian. All the servants, except for the maids, know Russian. The sea is great! The coast is gentle, you can go 10 meters with a child - everything will be waist-deep, and the water is not very salty. I liked riding a scooter, prices: 5 min -$30.10 min -$40.15 min -$50, and they are not traded at all - not the right Turks. On the territory of the hotel in the shops, too, prices are not discounted.
In the lobby bar (in the reception building) there is a free Internet, you can take laptops, the chairs are comfortable there and the best hotel bar.
