We rested at the Golden Beach Hotel from September 03 to September 10.2010.

Accommodation:
We were given a room at 13:00 (we arrived at the hotel around 11:00), and before checking in, we had a good lunch. The porter carried our suitcases to the room, showed us what and how, but did not take a tip. The room is not big, but cozy. The declared double room has one double and one single bed, a small TV, a small refrigerator (works well), a wardrobe (it has a small safe, paid - 2 euros = 3 dollars per day), 2 armchairs, a dressing table with a mirror, a bedside table, air conditioning , hairdryer. The bathroom has a large wall-to-wall mirror. There is only soap in the bathroom, no shampoo! Keep this in mind when packing your suitcase. The room also has a balcony. We had a view of the courtyard, beautiful enough, away from the pool and animation. It is worth noting that mostly middle-aged couples and couples with children rest in the hotel, no one was noisy at night.

Nutrition:

The food, compared even with 5 * hotels, is beyond praise. Every day there is meat, both chicken and beef of different types (stewed, grilled, skewers, etc. ). Also, delicious dishes are prepared in the evening on the street, by the pool - keep in mind. The food is amazing, fresh and very tasty. Sweets are also excellent, in the best Turkish traditions. Great variety in fruits. There is always something from dried fruits: dried apricots, figs or raisins. From drinks - Ephesus beer, red and white wine (not bad), whiskey, vodka, cola, sprite, mineral water and juices from vending machines, coffee, tea, milk. Ice cream is served at dinner.
Tables are located not only in the indoor restaurant (there is always room), but also on the veranda and a small balcony. Moreover, tables are set up by the pool for dinner.
You can eat not only during breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, cake time and dinner: hamburgers, closed pizza and french fries are prepared by the pool, on the beach - delicious tortillas with potatoes and cottage cheese, which are baked in front of your eyes. In addition, there are bars on the beach and by the pool where you can always take something from drinks.

Beach:
The beach is, as stated, across the road from the hotel. The road is two-lane, narrow, the traffic of cars is not dense. In addition, a hotel employee is always on duty at the crossing, who translates everyone almost by the hand. The beach is really small but cozy. There are always free sunbeds on the beach. The beach is not very clean, but it can not be called dirty either. Algae is constantly cleaned by hotel workers. At the entrance to the sea there are small pebbles, and then sand. At the same time, in some places (in particular, next to the concrete pontoon), there are no pebbles at all.
The sea is shallow, you can go fifteen meters to a depth, which is good, because there is a place for children to splash around, and adults can safely swim in the depths. The water is clean, transparent, the bottom is visible even at the buoys. The water temperature during our stay was normal (somewhere around 26-28 degrees).
You can play volleyball on the beach.
There is a place to change clothes and wash off the salt water.
There are no towels for the beach, it is forbidden to take from the room.

Service:
At the reception, every other day there is a Russian-speaking girl. In our race, two girls from the animation were also Russian-speaking. The rest understand English.
Cleaned in the room daily, bedding is changed once a week, towels - every other day.

The presence or absence of the dollar does not affect the quality of cleaning. This is the only negative - not a conscientious cleaning of the rooms, which is somehow not even clear in comparison with the cleaning of the territory and, in general, with the service in general? ? ?
But this minus does not cost anything in relation to the pleasure received from the rest in this hotel.

Entertainment:
Animators worked around the clock. All daytime animation takes place by the pool. The guys are young, perky, they know how to stir up vacationers. In the evening, either at a concert venue or by the pool.
There is internet in the building where the reception is located. The cost is 2 euros per hour, regardless of the amount of traffic.

Territory:
The territory of the hotel is narrow but long. If you look from the side of the beach, we will see the following: a recreation area with pools and bars, then a restaurant, a reception building, and then five three-four-story buildings. The territory is very green and well-groomed. Everything is flowering. The gardener is constantly at work, for which he is honored and praised. There are places to take photos for memory, they turn out beautiful and diverse. A five-minute ride by minibus is the regional center of Turgutres, where you can take a walk and choose gifts.
The minibus costs 2.5 lira per person. It takes 40-45.5 lira to drive to Bodrum.

Vacationers:
Rest in this hotel is mainly middle-aged families and couples with children, as well as older people. Young people will be bored here. The hotel rests a lot of foreigners (Belgians, Dutch, French, Poles, etc. ). When we rested, there were also enough Russians and Ukrainians. We did not meet drunken companies during the rest.

Climate:
The climate is awesome. Very soft. The temperature kept +30-34 (at night it is cooler than 20-25). There was always a pleasant, warm breeze. Sunbathing is a pleasure.
We recommend this hotel for a family relaxing holiday! Excellent value for money!
