Now for more details.
We rested in Acacia in early August 2012. They flew from Pegasus with the Nord Wind airline. The flight was delayed by an hour and a half. The hotel is the last one on the bus route, so we swept almost the entire peninsula while transporting tourists. The trip took over two hours. We got to the hotel by 1 pm, but had time to have lunch.
Guide from Pegasus Lyubov was in the hotel a couple of times, she doesn’t stay at the hotel all the time, and she also doesn’t have certain hours at the hotel, so if any questions arise, you will have to decide on your own.
The staff is friendly and helpful, but they don't speak Russian. It seems that there is one Russian speaker at the reception, but it does not work every day.
After dinner they gave us a room.

The location of the rooms is ambiguous: some have a sea view (most of them), some have a road view (there are few of them), there are 600 rooms in a separate building (annex) on a sandy beach. 700th rooms with a small balcony, put a chair and that's it. There is generally access to the pool. We got 319 next to the reception and stairs down to the pool. We thought it would be noisy, because there was a bar downstairs, and a balcony with tables nearby on the floor, but nothing like that, no one interfered with sleep. The room is clean, cleaning every day, once they forgot to put a towel, but we explained as best we could, and everything was fixed. Standard room: air conditioning, TV with one Russian channel, refrigerator, double bed.
The sea is the cleanest! There are two beaches. One is a platform, a descent into the sea along ladders, the bottom is bad, only stones, however, they found a place where there are no stones and you can stand calmly. The pier is not like in the photo of the hotel, but much shorter and not particularly dive. The second sandy beach is 200 meters from the main building along the path along the sea. In the same place where water sports, you can take a kayak for 30 minutes for free.
The food is ok, no frills. Who wants "barbecue in Karski", etc. not here.
For breakfast they baked either an omelette or pancakes. Lunch (or as they say lunch) is quite, as it seemed to me, light, and for dinner there is already pureed soup, and grilled chicken or fish.
From fruits oranges, grapefruits, watermelons, plums, melons. Also during the day "guzleme" and
some delicious cheese buns. From the drinks were: cola, sprite, some kind of zuko, tea, coffee, beer, white and red wine, crayfish, vodka and gin. What I liked is that you pour the wine yourself from the barrel. Raki took Razik, so as not to forget the taste =), I did not try vodka and gin.
The animation is not intrusive. One animator - Peyman. Knows 11 languages. Darts, aqua aerobics, water polo, volleyball. Evening children's disco. Everything is on it. There is no adult disco as such. For adults, there were three competitions in 10 days: Miss Acacia, the best couple and men against girls. Sunday is Turkish night. On Wednesdays there was live music.
In general, a relaxing holiday, who wants to "break away and light up" is better to choose another hotel.
Contingent: many Dutch (Peyman called them the Holland mafia = at competitions), English, Germans, Italians, Poles. There were 20 Russian-speaking people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus.

The hotel area is not large, there is no promenade, so there is nowhere to walk, but there are many places on the territory where you can sit with a glass of wine in the evening. On the left on the road from the hotel in 5 minutes walk - a small shop. You can buy a card on your phone for 5 lire. The phone is right next to the road.
We did not go on excursions this time, we just took a ride on the Rebbeka-D boat around the islands. Standard walk with stops for swimming, lunch included, drinks at own expense. Weiss walks along the beach and offers $25 tickets. You can pay before boarding, departing from the neighboring hotel Armonia.
Pegasus offers excursions at crazy prices, they even charge $10 for a sightseeing tour.
People went, then spat: the day took off on a shopping trip.
By dolmush to Turgutres 15 minutes, to Bodrum about an hour. In Turgutreis on the embankment there is a travel agency with a Russian-speaking girl and with normal prices for excursions.
Wi-Fi is free, (it was not good for my Chinese tablet), you just need to take the password to the reception.
Photos of the hotel are in my albums, come in =).
Thanks to those who were able to finish reading this "treatise". We liked the hotel. Recommend for a relaxing holiday for a relatively small fee. If you ask, I can answer.
