By and large, I liked absolutely everything: the service, the abundance and range of dishes, the distance to the sea, the coastline, the room and the view from it. But first things first.
The staff is very friendly and its cordiality, mood and energy is transmitted. One feels the atmosphere of general relaxation, as if the Turks do not work at all, but meanwhile they work 10 hours a day. If only ours had such a life-affirming style of behavior, but we would only have to blame someone else. The hotel is very cozy and green. In the evening, the aroma of numerous "vines" is a special pleasure.
Bodrum is really far away about an hour by bus. It costs $3 one way. But it's worth the trip. Unfortunately, we were only once during the daytime. And then (thanks to the kind people from Ukraine) they were afraid to go, they were looking for a reliable companion, so that in cases of which they could beat off the bloodthirsty Turk. It's just funny, by God. Personally, I was most struck by the fortress and the beautiful bay, full of ships. And also the historical part - the statues of Herodotus and Mausolus with his wife and sister at the same time (who once lived here). It was also impossible to get into the ruined Mausoleum - one of the wonders of the world - all the museums, including the one in the fortress - until 5 pm. But if history and architecture don't worry you too much, Bodrum is still worth seeing. At least in order to visit Halicarnassus, a very popular and worthy of this popularity disco. It is difficult to describe what the trick is - everything from sound quality to shows and special effects at the highest level. And even if you are not a fan (like me) of nightlife, I think you should capture this evening for a long time, if not forever.

The distance to Bodrum can be compensated for not by the length of the road to Tungutreis (about 10 minutes drive), which we successfully used every free evening that fell. Fortunately, minibuses run 24/7 in both directions. By the way, if someone decides to frighten you again, I’ll say that in Tungutreis, the Turks do not close the stalls at night when they leave. It's like a crime town.
Now about the hotel itself. The restaurant is in close proximity to the only pool, quite deep. It is noisy here and if you are in the mood to spend time like this, I must say that there are not enough sunbeds for everyone, especially when the hotel is 100% occupied. This did not bother us at all, since I consider it a perversion to swim in chlorinated water, being close to the wonderful nature of the Aegean Sea. From the hotel to the sea - 60 meters, a maximum of 100, and if someone burns on the way, I want to tell you guys: "You need to drink less" and even more so write about it. The beach of the hotel itself is small and is next to the pantone and not with trees. Sun loungers here also begin to occupy from 7 in the morning. Although on the first day we spent unhindered on a nearby beach. The beach itself is big and I really liked it. The sea is about as deep as the Black Sea. By the way, I would not call the Mediterranean very pleasant wind that blows here as a small breeze. By noon, it usually catches up with small waves. This circumstance made me very happy also because due to this, the heat is not felt, it does not starve and it is not stuffy.
Six months later, I am writing this review for those who will go to Turkey for the first time. Since after reading the slander written on the Internet, they themselves were very upset, and the Russians with whom we met at the hotel wanted to return the vouchers before flying to Turkey. But in the end, everyone was satisfied and disappointed only by the transience of the time spent here.
