Hotel ratings by criteria:
Rested in June 2005.
The hotel is located in the village of Yalikavak, about 20 km from Bodrum. The village is large, with shops and restaurants, but the hotel is located on the edge of the village, it takes about 20 minutes to walk to "civilization".
A car from the hotel to the center of the village costs $ 5 per person (round trip), to Bodrum - $ 20. A girl Elya works at the reception, fluent in Russian, which is very convenient. The hotel is most suitable for families with children under 10 years old - young people and teenagers, in my opinion, will be bored there.
The rooms are normal. Each room has either a balcony or a terrace, with a table and chairs. The room has a TV with a Russian channel, a refrigerator, air conditioning (controlled from the room), a hairdryer.

There were no problems with hot water. Towels are changed daily, cleaning and change of linen - at least once every 3 days. The food is normal, but with a large external variety of dishes, many turned out to be little edible for the average Russian taste - all sorts of spicy stewed vegetables, strange salads, etc.
Everyone constantly wandered in search of meat, mostly chicken, beef was revered as a holiday, for which long queues lined up. But a lot of different sweets - pastries, cakes, mousses. From fruits - apples, watermelon, melon, oranges.
Drinks - juices bred from powders, local cola fanta, tea, coffee, kefir, vodka, beer and wine. Wine - in my opinion, diluted with water 3 times. Beer - so-so, but you can drink it, cold : ) During dinner, there were always not enough glasses.
2 swimming pools - for adults and children (small, 30 centimeters deep, i. e. for very young children). The beach is a platform, you can also enter from the shore, but it is very inconvenient - large stones. They give a catamaran and a plastic kayak for free.
Animation - knowledgeable people said that the average. The program of activities was the same every day: three times a day - aerobics, darts, water sports, volleyball, in the evening - children's disco, show and night disco on the beach. The pool played loud music all day long, which by the end of the holiday was very annoying.
Animators worked with the children, but the activities they invented were interesting for children under 10 years old, the older ones were bored and annoyed their parents. Animation team - Turks and one girl from Germany, who speaks Russian, the children loved her very much. For children, a separate children's dinner was organized (french fries, meatballs), ice cream was given free of charge once a day.
Also free of charge at the hotel - a la carte restaurant (Turkish cuisine), you can visit 1 time. There is a sauna, gym (free of charge). For a fee - a fish restaurant, those who went - liked it.
What pleased us was that when we were late from the tour and arrived late, we were still fed, although dinner time was over. On the day of departure, after the checkout time, no one removed the bracelets from us, and we used the hotel services, including meals, until the very departure at 16.00.

According to the general opinion, the hotel does not pull 4+, but in general, the problem is not in the hotel, but in travel agencies that give tourists incorrect information and overstated promises, just to sell the tour.
In general, we liked the rest, the children are delighted.
