After reading the reviews about the hotel, I expected to see something indigestible in a piece of paradise.
I'm glad I was wrong on the first half of the assumption.
The hotel is value for money - that is, it is "5" in the Turkish sense, not in the European one. Who expects the conditions of the UAE - do not flatter yourself. But, in principle, everything is comparable to other hotels of this level.
Of the minuses - rather weak animation. The administration needs to work on this.
But that's probably all that upset me . .
Well, there may be a difficulty with the fact that the staff is practically non-Russian-speaking, so strain your brains and remember the school English course.
But the staff is very friendly and attentive. Everyone is ready to help, sincerely trying to understand your baby talk. : )

The place is truly heavenly. The Aegean Sea is incomparable to the Mediterranean in beauty. The water is crystal clear, fish. . Shore, islands, greenery, yachts. . . Ah. .
And in general, you live with the feeling of "immersion in history"...
I was told that Bodrum is more Greece than Turkey.
I haven’t been to Greece, but the difference is striking from Alanya and Belek!
When you fly up only to Bodrum, such a panorama opens up that it takes your breath away! The airport, compared to Antalya, is small, but neat and clean. Customs cleared quickly. Tez Tour met impeccably.
There was an inconvenience with resettlement: they check in at 14.00, and we arrived at 12.00. But I took out swimwear, changed clothes on the beach and swam and sunbathed until 14.00. So we didn't suffer much in anticipation.
The room was in the main building. It was not visible from the window of the sea, if you look straight ahead (the wall of the building is opposite), but if you go out onto the balcony and turn your head to the right - a beautiful view : )
It bothers some people, it doesn't for me. I was in the room only early in the morning and late in the evening. I didn't care.
The air conditioner worked. And so unobtrusively that it was cool, but not cold. It was quite possible to sleep under it, which we did. The climate in Bodrum is good, dry, the heat is not particularly felt and everything dries, but still stuffy, not the month of January...
Since we were a double + child, we used an extra place - a folding sofa. It turned out that it was a little broken, but rather quickly, at our request to do something about it, an uncle came running with tools, smiling, fulfilled all my wishes, took a dollar tip with some surprise : )
The bathroom was clean and tidy. There are no complaints at all. The room was cleaned regularly, towels changed. . No questions.
The food is like everywhere else in such hotels: no one fluffs from hunger, do not believe it . . Fish, meat every day. Maybe there was no variety of meat, but I never felt longing for it.

Fruits: watermelons, melons, grapes, peaches, oranges, apricots, plums. I personally ate only watermelons - they are great. Everything else is indifferent.
Standard salads, pancakes and omelettes. . .
In response to previous authors: they cleaned the tables on time, it’s not true that you have to clean up after yourself. Cats walked around the territory, but they didn’t eat anything from the tables, unlike sparrows : )
Ice cream was served twice a day.
During the day - gozlime and ayran, hamburgers with MEAT, not sausage, which pleased the children.
Very good slides. 3 pools. Sunbeds must be occupied, of course, if you want to lie near the pool. It is quite possible to find a place near the sea. If not under awnings, then in the shade of trees on the lawn you can put a sun lounger. I preferred hanging out in a hammock. .
The hotel has a hammam, a wonderful sauna and massage. I went. . . and I'm VERY satisfied.
We went to fish and Turkish restaurants. Liked the fish.
It is very convenient to go on excursions from the hotel: everything is nearby. The road is not boring. We went to the fortress and the temple of Mausolus. The only negative is that you run very fast! I want to wander around the territory, see the stalls of merchants, and they drove you away with a quick step and that's it : )
I really enjoyed the sea trip on the yacht.
In general, I got an unforgettable vacation in a beautiful corner of Turkey, which I love more and more.
There will be an opportunity . . God willing, I would like to come again.
