What we liked:
- quickly settled in the room (my friend and I really prudently put a little "green" in the passport, but I think only the type of room depended on it);

- Well, very friendly staff! although this is part of their job, it's still nice. Not like in Russia - everyone is so angry and gloomy : -(() And if you come for the second time, the general manager (or director) of the hotel will greet you and give you gifts and something else . .

- the hotel is new and beautiful, in the lobby there is a huge hanging chandelier on all 6 floors - everyone comes in and stares when they see it for the first time. The rooms are different: small and medium and large with sea views (you are very lucky), each has individual air conditioning. We hardly used ours, because the windows of our room overlooked the courtyard, and it was cool for almost the whole day. So, we did not even begin to change ours to the number "with sea view". Very beautiful patio: small pools, flowers, trees in wooden tubs, stones. Very cozy in general: even in the corridors, you walk like at home, I'm very used to it. The hotel can be described for a very long time and a lot, but it's useless, because everything that is said in the recommendations about the hotel is all true. When choosing a hotel, we paid attention to the fact that it was, among other things, new, recently built. An important indicator of the quality of plumbing. Everything is new, from well-known manufacturers, at the level.
- about food (how not to say : -) ) I will not say that the choice is huge. Standard buffet for Turkey. . lots of sweets and dishes with their traditional food. But in THIS hotel, most of the food is insanely delicious (and didn't even have an upset stomach, sorry), everything is fresh and good. Grilled food is cooked on the open terrace - very tasty chicken. Once a week they even made a huge baked fish on a baking sheet in vegetables. . mm. Having tasted from sweet prunes with something there... I really experienced bliss . . to tears. By the way, you can eat there almost at any time of the day, if not in a restaurant, then in a cafe near the beach or in a lobby bar. Which is very convenient, who are on excursions.
- Spa center - a separate issue. We went and didn't regret it. By the way, the Turkish bath is really included in the price of your tour. But be sure to offer you some other massage or peeling, there are a lot of different ones. Each client has a separate time, that is, we came, and there was only one other person besides us. Carefully lathered and massaged the whole body: from the face to the fingertips . . Very nice. We ordered an additional oil massage. It cost 50 euros. But I think it was worth it. It was possible to buy a tour to a bathhouse somewhere on the street much cheaper, but why go somewhere, get dusty, roast in the sun, plus there will be a lot of people . . and everyone is like on a conveyor belt... you won’t understand anything.

- animation!! ! 12 people work and amuse people to the fullest! put on a crazy show! very funny! and every day everyone went to watch the performance.

- next to the hotel is the so-called "street of bars" in Gumbet. There is in Bodrum itself. But I didn't find a difference. You can play all night long.

- the room must be vacated by 12 noon. But you can use the hotel services for free, and eat, and go to the beach and take towels there. Anything. You can take a shower and go to the toilet in the spa center and in the shared showers. Luggage storage is free.
What did not like:
- cleaning in the rooms. . and other areas of the hotel (for example, shared showers, where you will go on the day of your departure). For "three". This is not the level of a 5 or 4 star hotel.
- Royal Asarlik Beach is terrible. Shallow (maximum to the waist), dirty (algae). But the sand is golden. But the problem with the beach is solvable. Go, as they write a lot, to the beach of the Asarlik hotel (it belongs to Royal Asarlik). And cleaner, and deeper, and there are even waves. Fine. True, the stones hurt the legs, they are at the very edge of the beach.
- when we rested, there were very few Russians. But we were warned - the resort of Bodrum is more focused on tourists from Europe. And so it turned out. There are Russians, but compared to English speakers, and even Poles... we are few. The staff, in this regard, is also only English-speaking. Naturally, who knows English well. language, no problem. And I only know the most basic. Therefore, not all of my "quirks" were understood. But this problem is also solved! A Russian girl, Lyudmila, from Perm works there. She helped us a lot. Big HELLO to you, suddenly you will read! (Oksana and Sveta)

- constantly had to wait a long time for the elevator to arrive. Either they break, or children play, or something else . . Of course, you can climb the stairs. But the restaurant is located on the 6th floor. So it's not always nice.
In general, in this hotel and in general in Bodrum, it is worth and should go. I'm sure you won't regret it. We really liked it, and even want to return there... Which we probably will do next year. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE A GOOD REST!! ! I hope my review will help you a little when choosing a hotel.
