At first I didn't like the hotel. It doesn’t pull on the declared 4 stars, rather a C grade. When we arrived, the room was not very clean, the door lock did not work well, but they called, the master came and did it, however, in two steps.
We were settled in the most remote building, but then it seemed to us the best, because apart from us there were no other rooms on the second floor, with the exception of the servants' room, which was not heard at all. Complete silence all day long. Sea view. So the number was great.
In the end, they realized the charm of our hotel and were very, very satisfied with the rest.
Hotel pros:

-located 20 km from Bodrum, in a picturesque bay, next to the village of Yalikavak (3 km), which we never got out of. You can get to Bodrum with a transfer and it will cost in terms of rubles - 150 rubles per person one way. In Bodrum itself, it makes sense to choose a hotel only if you are going to lead a nightlife, because it will be impossible to sleep under the rumbling sounds of the Halicarnassus discotheque. Ours was quiet. Sometimes there was music from neighboring hotels, but it hardly interfered.
- The hotel is quiet and peaceful. Great passive getaway. The music does not rumble, everything contributes to complete relaxation!
- a small cozy beach, you can go swimming both from the shore and from the pier. No flea market, finding a place is not difficult, you just have to fight for a place near the shore. Right at the pier, fish swim in huge numbers, the water is clear, quite clean, there are no jellyfish. This is due to the fact that the water is cold, somewhere around 23 degrees, but this is a positive moment, because with such and such a heat (more than 35) the water acts refreshingly!
- on the beach - water activities. The Turk offers to ride on a banana, on a scooter (albeit for $ 60), on water skis.
-Very small area - more a plus than a minus. Everything is clean, neat, miniature
- the room is cleaned every day, though not very carefully
- food almost around the clock. Three times a day in a restaurant, the rest of the time in a snack bar next to the beach, which we first mistakenly thought was a restaurant and got scared. The food is tasty, but not very varied, buffet style. A very cozy restaurant overlooking the sea, it is especially pleasant to sit there in the evening, at sunset. Everyone ate something all day, so you won't go hungry. Don't count on being able to resist the temptation : )
-free hammam (bath) with paid spa services. He was a hundred meters away, in the neighboring Cactus Fleur Hotel.
- Welcoming, friendly and sociable Turks!
-few Russians, mostly French, Belgians. No one screamed, no swearing, unlike other hotels where there are a lot of Russians, no one drank, although alcoholic drinks are available in unlimited quantities all day for free. The guide said that he had to somehow come to one hotel three times a night due to the fact that the Russians were outrageous
Minuses:
- service is not very good
- although the staff speaks English, it is sometimes difficult to communicate with them, because they do not speak the language very well

-the cleaner forgot to bring a towel for her feet, then wash the glass
- Animation for three. Full self-activity. True, the animators themselves are cheerful and sociable. If animation is important to you, then this is not your hotel. But if you are traveling with children, then they will definitely not be bored there - the animators entertain them, in addition, there are many families with small children in the hotel. I went to the performance arranged by the animators once, but did not go again. It's not that I don't like it, it's just boring. In a nearby hotel (Cactus Fleur), which belongs to the same person, the animator could sometimes be heard from our beach.
I will definitely come again! !
