The hotel is clearly 3 stars, in general, not bad, fairly large rooms, cleaning daily, even without a tip. Ask for rooms away from the reception, and even more so from the dining room, because. noisy from the pool (constant music and water games throughout the day). There is no balcony in the room, drying outside, but we took it to the room. The air conditioner works great.
In the environment: there are really few of ours (which is even bad) and a lot of Turks, you get used to it with difficulty, they are very noisy and nocturnal (they yell at numbers at midnight: (Germans, Italians, French, etc.
The sea is very close, a big plus: Beautiful, azure, gentle, not very warm, but you get used to it, though gradually. Few swim, foreigners, like everywhere else, sit by the pool for days, probably, it’s so cool for them... There is also a breeze. The evenings were even chilly.

Food. Normal for their stars. Tired quickly, for breakfast only once fried eggs without everything and pancakes. Fruits only watermelons and green melon. There are constant queues for what is being cooked in front of you. Everything is rather uncompact, you need to run in a circle: drinks, food, tables . .
Excursions: the guide was not very interested in our desires. But it’s worth visiting excursions 1) a yacht (the islands were not the ones that were declared), an intrusive captain, a poor lunch, they always promote additional service. The sea in the lagoons is awesome, but icy . The music is thundering! It interferes with enjoying the beauties. In general, it’s worth it, but there is no money -50 dollars. There is also a Helikarnas disco, there are nuances - drinks are expensive, you can’t bring your own. You need to drink yours before entering; then it will be fun, because the Turks are the sea and the music is monotonous (for young people 20 years old only). For the fullness of sensations it is worth visiting. The rest of the excursions are very early departures. It is better to go when you have already rested (tortoise. , Ephesus).
This is another Turkey, indeed, the proximity of Greece, charming white houses, beautiful!
Summary: if you have more money to really enjoy your vacation, I recommend Bodrum, but it is better to increase the star rating of the hotel!
