Already approaching the hotel, I was terribly upset when I saw a small bay instead of the promised Aegean Sea.
It is impossible to find fault with the hotel itself, service, food, animators. A couple of times they left a crumpled dollar in the room for cleaning - what a surprise it was when they came and saw that our dollar, already smoothed, lay untouched in a conspicuous place. The rooms are small, but clean, it can be seen that after the renovation, the linen is white, clean, changed every other day or two. The air conditioner worked properly, there was satellite TV, the taps did not leak, the water did not clog, the toilet paper was replaced and the garbage was taken out. There were no disposable shampoos and soaps in the room, so you need to take everything with you, as well as a hairdryer. Fed as for slaughter, the food was always fresh. Most of all I liked breakfasts - fresh pastries, many types of oatmeal, a variety of cheeses and fruits.
The territory of the hotel, though not too big, but everything is thought out, a lot of greenery. We just got to some kind of hotel accreditation, so there was increased attention to cleanliness and nutrition.

The biggest and perhaps the only negative is the lack of open sea. The entire coast of Turkey from the Aegean Sea in the bays, but here even the horizon was not visible. What we bathed in was just a puddle of sea water. The depth of the water is up to the throat, but if you try to get on your feet away from the shore, you can feel not stones, but silt. In the bar, located on the water, everything merges directly into the water. This is also not happy. There is not a very pleasant smell coming from the water itself. And if you throw crumbs of bread into the water, small fish float on them, which crawl right out of the silt. Brrr.......
So it's better to sit near the sea water pool, plus there are outdoor showers. One more thing - because of the mountains, the sun sets faster, so it will not be very possible to lie under the sun until seven in the evening.
In general, the rest was satisfied. Definitely worth a trip. We were on a sightseeing tour in Bodrum, we were taken on a yacht to the Aegean Sea (it is very clean, but you will know this only after visiting Greece), stops were made for swimming. The most important excursion is a trip to Ephesus.
So if you are traveling and for you the main priority is the clean sea - I do not advise you to go to this hotel. And if you are going for service - then you are here.
