The hotel was chosen for a long time. I settled on it for a number of reasons. Bribed +16, good food and a small number of "our" tourists. We were incredibly lucky, and during our stay a lot of ours, especially Russians, stopped by. There were good guys, families, but the bulk - rednecks! Everything is paid for, we are Russians, our women are the best - this is what was constantly loudly declared) Foreigners looked like savages. You can’t go to the pool in the evening - they jumped anyway. The owner himself personally warned, but our people wanted to spit. I was upset by the number of compatriots.
Now about the rest. We went with the operator Coral travel. The charter was from UIA. Everything was clear - nothing to complain about. We arrived at the hotel early in the morning, tried to arrange an early check-in - did not work. They said to wait 14 hours. We left our suitcases and went for a walk. The hotel is located on a mountain, so the ascent and descent to the embankment, the sea is very steep. It was very difficult for me. But the view from the hotel is unreal. Dream romance. At first they offered us one room, but we wanted to see some more. We liked the second one better - 1004 (not in the main building). They say that the rooms are better in general, and more. But they are also a little more expensive.
Our room was small. Wardrobe with trempels, two bedside tables, a large mirror, a bedside table with a refrigerator inside and a TV on top. The bathroom is a decent size. It would not hurt to freshen up everything and clean it up more carefully. Cleaning and change of bed/towels is done by young Turkish guys who speak only Turkish. Upon arrival, the bed was stained and the towels were not very fresh. I asked to change the bed - changed. Still, the cleanliness of the bed and towels wanted to be better. I always take my pillowcase from home and a towel too. The hotel has a lot of stairs (outside) made of natural stone - I had problems with that. Often caught on toes of shoes - well, in general, not super safe. I would somehow mark the edges of the steps. wi-fi at the reception, at the bar, by the pools, on the terrace and in the dining room.

In our room, on the balcony, I also caught (as it turned out on the penultimate day), as it was close to the dining room. The balcony is quite small, but the view from it is simply amazing - the sea and the city. The hotel has three swimming pools. I liked only one, the biggest, by the bar. Take your own beach towels. The hotel does not have its own beach and sunbeds by the pools need to be covered with something. Bar with an excellent terrace and panoramic views of the city and the sea. Good music was always playing. Bar until 23:00. The food at the hotel is excellent. There were plenty to choose from. In the evenings grilled meat alternated with grilled fish. We ate on the outdoor terrace - overlooking the sea and with good music.
There are two exits from the hotel. The main one is to the minibus and the road to Gumbet, Bodrum. The final minibus to Bodrum is at the hotel. The second exit is to go to the sea and the embankment. In the evening it closes at 23 or 24 hours. If you exit through a non-main exit from the hotel, go down to the municipal beach of Bitez (15 minutes) and to hotels / cafes with their own beaches (sunbeds and umbrellas) to the right. On the municipal few people (sunbeds and umbrellas for free). It is small, with a muddy gray bottom. If you go to the right of it - the water and the bottom are better. A lot of fish that almost jumps onto the shore.
During our vacation, hotels and cafes on the Bitez embankment were filled with Europeans aged 50+. Young people also met, but the older generation - more often. At the end of the Bitez embankment there are villas, which are mainly rented by the Turks. If you exit through a non-main exit from the hotel - to the left is a descent to the wild beaches of Bitez. There are enough beaches and it takes from 15/20 minutes to 45 to walk to them. The most extreme beach is the Aquarium. We didn’t get to it, but they say it’s gorgeous there. We also liked the nearby wild beaches. The water is super - turquoise, the beach is surrounded by eucalyptus groves. There are Turkish nudists and "wankers" on wild beaches. If the girls are alone - just be careful.
Russian is known by several guys who invite to clubs in the evenings. They speak English at the reception, the rest have a hard time with it. The owner always keeps order. Very interesting and solid Turk. If desired, they take you to a disco in the Gumbet area (there are many clubs, shops, markets). At 23 pick up and at 3, the beginning of 4 brought to the hotel. If you wish, you can stay.
To Bodrum - 20-30 minutes by minibus. It is better to pay in lira. Travel for one - 4 lira. Buy tickets for excursions not through operators, but on the street. The price is lower.
We liked the rest.
