From the pros:
1. Clear sea + cool climate
2. A rather beautiful and large area with a bunch of benches, terraces, a tea gazebo, a hookah, etc.
3. Air conditioning in the room. He worked for half an hour, regularly cooling the air, and rested for half an hour. In this mode, a wonderful comfortable climate in the room was created.
Of the minuses:
1. Sloppy service (for 3 stars - that's it). THERE IS 1 exception - always a friendly and welcoming girl from the "sauna-bath-hammam-massage" complex - an example of a 5 * hotel staff . . BUT SHE is alone . .

2. To the very Bodrum on the "minibus" - dolmush - 4 euros and 40 minutes drive . . far, given the fact that it is interesting to spend three evenings in the hotel... then everything is sooooo monotonous (from non-standard - in one evening they showed the show "synchronous plvanie ". . in principle, pretty cute)). There is simply NO WHERE to go out and walk from the hotel! 3 kilometers away is the village of Gundogan - but you can’t even buy souvenirs there . .
3. From entertainment in the evening: disco a la country club (in the role of the villagers - Turks) and animation - the most mediocre and ugly - exactly the same as 3-4 years ago in Alanya, Kemer, Izmir, etc. .
4. Our native tourists (Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians)... who apparently get up at 6 am and go to take all possible places on the beach and by the pool. They just put their towel and back to the room... A WAY to avoid a shortage of sunbeds simple - you come neatly fold their towels and put them aside . . We witnessed how the Italians were sincerely surprised that everything seemed to be busy, but there was really no one on the beach for an hour. And our cow-haired women with a three-week perm and peroxide on their heads and clusters of gold around their necks at that moment stood at the bar and yelled for more vodka to be poured into the sprite . . So there is no other way with them.
5. We lived in front of the tea gazebo with the opportunity to go out through the balcony to the street - beauty. It’s only a pity that in 12 days we weren’t able to find, pick up, carve a key for this very door)). . . towards the end of our trip, they simply said “we lost it at all and won’t be able to open it . . ” - and the conversation is over. and he was already tired of swearing with them . .

6. The restaurant, again, is far from 5 * . . a very monotonous menu... constant QUEUES of 20 people for a barbecue in the open part of the restaurant - at the same time, half of the hall was covered with this very smoke with a smelly barbecue... So we often went to Bodrum - they had dinner there (the prices are not really low there). 1 time were in a fish restaurant - it costs 5 euros from the nose. organized on the same wooden platform where the beach is during the day; - you take another bottle of wine for 50 euros kindly provided by the waiter and all the waiters just "lick" you, realizing that they will also receive a tip. In the main restaurant of such an attitude, or at least something similar, you will not wait!
yes... the beer there (probably like everywhere else in Turkey) is very diluted . .
Controversial:
There is no beach as such . . there is a concrete platform and a wooden one . . The sea is immediately deep - you can’t walk knee-deep in water looking at the shells))). ) without much dexterity it is not comfortable to get out of them...
A very cool panoramic elevator - overcomes the distance from the hotel (main pool) to the platform-beach in a few seconds... And if it weren't for the panorama windows that were clogged, it would be quite possible to have time to enjoy the view of the bay))
rested from 22.07 to 3.08. 08
The tour operator (NTC Intourist - Riviera) didn’t show himself very much - they quietly met, sold as many excursions to whom as possible, spent . . Everything was almost without delay (they were only 40 minutes late with their arrival on the day of departure) and with complete indifference to what was happening with tourists in the hotel. And so our hotel guide Rahim is a very nice and friendly person). .
In general, we are satisfied with the rest - because we went to swim and sunbathe. got a tour for 12 days for 45.000 rubles for two (by the way, sincere thanks to our long-term tour sender Elena Aleksandrovna ("Barbados-travel", Kazan) !!!!!! ). It seems inexpensive, although for 1100 bucks (for 1 person) in January we visited Bangkok and Phuket . . and for 1700 bucks - a year ago (Malaysia 7 days + Bali 10 days + Thailand 4 days) - booked hotels and flights via the Internet and go ahead... but they say correctly they don’t compare f. pu with a finger . . two completely different worlds for relaxation...
