I chose this hotel for one reason - the phrase from the advertising booklet: "As if lost among the firs and pines, on the shore of the crystal clear sea, the hotel is located" and the statement that the bay, on the shore of which the hotel is located, has been assigned a "blue" flag (very prestigious award, recognition of the purity of the sea).
Based on the results of the trip, I can confidently say - all this is a LIE! For many years of traveling around different countries, I have never seen such a miserable body of water anywhere. You can't call it a sea! This is absolutely opaque water for the sea (visibility is no more than 40 cm - 1 meter), this is a bay that looks like a swamp with standing, not very pleasant-smelling water, a calcareous coast and a muddy bottom!
I was hoping to swim in a clean, transparent sea - it did not work out!

I can't say anything negative about the hotel. The hotel is average, for a good four. Not up to five stars! The food is not bad, the waiters try, the room is cleaned every day. Many rooms are in need of repair, many looked through more than one number before they settled. With the number we can say lucky - settled immediately. On such a trifle as leaking taps did not pay attention.
We arrived at the hotel around 7 in the morning, immediately at the reception they warned that they would not be settled until two.
We left our things and went to look at the "crystal clear sea". It was... Immediately I wanted to go somewhere! And they left - to Bodrum. The bus ride is about an hour. We walked, cooled down and returned to the hotel. Wasted time, unfulfilled expectations!
There is probably nothing more to add. Don't waste your time and money!
