Rested as a couple from 31.08. 2010 to 7.09. 2010.
We are very pleased with the hotel: cozy, beautiful, quiet, clean. The territory is small, but well-groomed, green: many palm trees, banana trees, figs, pomegranates. The private beach is right next to the hotel. Descent into the sea from the pontoon along the ladder. The bottom is clean and sandy. The sea is clean. There is a pier from which you can jump. No water transport will prevent you from swimming away from the coast. You can rent catamarans, water skis, which, by the way, the owner of the hotel likes to ride in the morning. This did not interfere with the rest, even entertained vacationers during breakfast. If you wish, you can learn how to water ski for 20 lira under the strict guidance of the hotel owner (the first race is free).
The room had everything you need: a double bed and a single bed, a shower room combined with a bathroom, a TV, a hairdryer, a table with two chairs on the balcony. Moreover, the hotel is built in such a way that all rooms either sideways or directly overlook the sea.
The room was cleaned daily and towels changed; change of linen - 2 times a week. By the way, from the second day we had fresh flowers in our room.
The staff is very pleasant, responsive and unobtrusive. Speak English.
We were satisfied with the food (HB): breakfast, afternoon tea (tea with gingerbread at 17:00) and dinner. The choice of dishes, especially for breakfast, may seem monotonous to some, but everything was always fresh.
There is no animation in the hotel, which, however, cannot be attributed to the minuses: you can safely relax on the beach. Live music is played in the evenings, the owner of the hotel often likes to delight vacationers with his singing! The repertoire of the hotel pleasantly surprised: here you will not hear annoying noisy modern hits; in the morning - pleasant music in the New Age style, in the evenings - foreign stage (retro), sometimes songs in Turkish.
The village is located in a small bay protected by hills overgrown with coniferous trees.
On Mondays in the village there is a bazaar with a good selection of fruits, vegetables, nuts, cheese and other products, as well as knitwear and souvenirs at reasonable prices (i. e. cheaper than in Bodrum).
Bodrum can be reached for 3 lira by minibus, which runs every 30 minutes and stops right outside the hotel, takes you to the bus station (nicknamed "garage" by the locals). There is a small TANSAR supermarket in Bodrum (just behind the "garage"), food prices are lower than in the local market and the waterfront.
In Bodrum, it is worth visiting the fortress (entrance - 10 lira), located on the waterfront.
It is advised to change money at the local post office (yellow sign with the inscription PPT). It is located on the right side of the central alley leading from the "garage" to the embankment.
Excursions: On the left side of the same alley, before reaching the post office, you will meet DIRECTOUR TOUR, to which I would like to express special thanks.
There you will surely find Olga, who will not only answer all your questions, advise excursions, but also make a discount on them. We took a two-day Ephesus-Pamukkale tour for $75, refusing our tour operator's offer to visit Ephesus and Pamukkale separately for $60. each. On a two-day excursion, you save mainly your time and effort. So, for example, the road from Bodrum to Pamukkale would take you 3.5 hours each way. If you eat for two days, then on the first day you visit Ephesus, the house of the Virgin Mary (optional and for an additional fee - 25 lira), in the evening you arrive at a 3 * hotel near Pamukkale itself, which, accordingly, you can see at night, walking in park with lakes near these snow-white travertines. And, of course, get enough sleep and gain strength for new experiences (dinner and breakfast at the hotel are included in the price of the tour).
In the afternoon you will have a walk along the travertines, an independent tour of the ancient city of Hierapolis, swimming in the thermal pool of Cleopatra with mineral water (36 ° C), entrance - 25 lire. If you decide on such an excursion, do not forget to bring bottles for mineral water from the Cleopatra pool (really tasty, but it “lives” in a plastic bottle for no more than 24 hours), as well as for water from the spring near the house of the Virgin. The tour was led by Russian-speaking guide Alena, very well-read, able to present information in an interesting way. One of the guys from our group remarked: “We have never listened to a history lesson with such interest. ”
In a word, rest in the "Aquarium" is ideal for those who want to take a break from the bustle of the city, like to contemplate the beauties of nature, and do not need animation. We were surprised that for little money you can have such a good rest.
