We rested in Are from 15.07 to 23.07. 2011. Everything is just great, although 4 *, expected the worst.
1. Rustic open air reception, a bit shocked to begin with, what to expect from the rooms. They gave a small room, but with a fresh renovation, everything is very clean, for $ 1 the uncle cleaned daily, and changed the towels every day too, and only changed the bed after 3 days, but I think if you ask him, he will change at least every day, it’s just that we were in full swing and there were a lot of people, when we settled in, one set of towels was not enough, I turned to the reception - they immediately brought it, and the next day my grandfather, who was cleaning, also added 2 sets - put under the pillows, because they are small , and he saw that I was trying to put a blanket under the pillow. He cleaned the room well and very quickly, and laid out the bedspreads beautifully and sprinkled some kind of refreshing spray in the room. The water was always hot. As for drinking water, they put two half-liter bottles in the refrigerator and don’t give them anymore, so don’t throw away the bottles so that there is somewhere to collect and take them to the beach or to the room from the coolers. I have never observed insects in the room (read in the previous comment) . despite the fact that the bungalows are located on a hillside in an olive grove. No matter how I looked, I never even saw cobwebs anywhere, and the fumigator was turned on at night, but there are no mosquitoes anyway, they are poisoned every day with some kind of smoke.
2. Beach. Despite the fact that in the morning many people occupy sunbeds with towels, there were enough places for everyone, because they only booked places in the shade, and if you want to put sunbeds on the pier, if you want, take a mattress under a palm tree and relax on the lawn. Foreigners generally mostly around the pool. The sea is clean, the water is clear even at a depth and the landscape from any place in the hotel is simply magical, from the bungalow you can go down a shady alley for a maximum of 100 m. There is a rescue boat on the pier around the clock. From one pier you enter shallow water, from the other it’s immediately deep, so the children often went to the pool, which is abundantly poisoned with bleach, on the second day we, together with the neighbor, inhaled bleach and coughed, chest pain, thought they caught a cold, and then tea and We gave water to drink and everything went through, so at the height of the season I do not recommend leaving children in the pool for a long time.

3. Restaurant. There are no questions, everything is very tasty and varied, every other day for dinner, grilled meat, olives starting from breakfast up to 7 types, delicious cheeses and feta cheese, fresh herbs and watermelons in bulk, turkey and chicken in variations are also plentiful, there is not much beef, mostly some then sausages, once was on the grill. So for those who do not want to get better - healthy food options - shaft, olive oil and lemon juice - basins. And those with a sweet tooth - delicious cakes and desserts, delicious liquid chocolate for breakfast, etc. Slightly diluted red wine, which was very handy in such a heat, perfectly quenched my thirst, I still put ice in it, and the beer seemed to be normal (I didn’t try and don’t drink other drinks, although people drank gin and rum, etc. ). e. ) The restaurant has a beautiful terrace with a magnificent view of the sea and is very clean, the waiters work very quickly and beautifully, they have time everywhere.
4. The territory is green and very well-groomed, cleaned and watered day and night. Hamam is better in Onur. there, like a spa, you can buy a package of services, where a hammam, along with a full body massage with aroma oils and a face mask, is great to relax, especially in the heat - I liked it.
5. Animation. During the day, we practically didn’t see her, because we were at sea, and they don’t get people on the beach (it was our animator who told me that they have such a rule). In the evening, I liked everything in the amphitheater and nothing was repeated, the guys are very cheerful, energetic and love their work.
6. Hotel guide. We saw him on the 3rd day, but we didn’t need him, because it’s clear that he needs to sell excursions, and we feel sorry for spending time on them, and we went to Bodrum ourselves, minibuses run from the hotel every few minutes and almost around the clock.
7. Bodrum. We visited the fortress of St. Peter for 10 lira, the view from there is simply wonderful, and the tour is so-so. In Bodrum, everything works around the clock and all excursions are at least one and a half times cheaper. We found branded sweets for 2 lira per box (10 UAH), and it’s better to buy oil from them at the food market on the second floor above the bus station - there is a clothing market there some days , and in some grocery or in a supermarket in the same place above the bus station. Freshly squeezed butter from the peasants costs 10 lira (this is at night and without bargaining), i. e. 50 UAH, and in the supermarket 7-8 lira, but factory-made. Almost no one knows Russian, but there is no need, so everything is clear - you ask - hav mach - and they either answer in English or show on a calculator that it is useless to bargain in shops, only in the market.
Like everything - ask who is the first time - I will answer any questions.
