Just got back. Rested 2 adults + 2 children (3 years and 5 years) for 14 days.
I must say right away that it is comfortable to go to this hotel for 10 days, mid-late summer.
TERRITORY: Very nice, lots of palm trees, large area, pools and slides for adults and children are excellent, there are lawns on the beach. 1 line - so everything is close and convenient.
ROOM: we were given a standard in the main building, the left block, by the way, a very good room, with a view of the sea, in the morning the sun, in the afternoon shade, even without an air conditioner it is at +35. Cleaned every day, everything is very clean. Friends were in the anex room (cheaper than standard), there is a bridge crossing, but this should not scare you, an extra couple of minutes of walking is not a problem.

FOOD: I agree with many, the choice of food is large, BUT, a lot of spicy food, the children refused to eat at the beginning, I had to ask for less spices through the hotel management. The next day it seemed to help.
Although we separately asked in the kitchen to cook pasta without tomato, scrambled eggs (since the omelettes were already boring), etc. Everyone tried to meet the meeting : )
PROS:
-beautiful nature, quiet and clear sea, slides, etc.
-delicious cuisine in the evening, especially the grilled red fish I liked
- Well done animators, they entertain children, but they don’t change the program, a week later the children didn’t go to the mini disco
- be sure to go (10 minutes by minibus = 2.5 lira with 1 vzr) to the center of Yalikavak and go to Palmarina Bay (or taxi = 20 lira) - yachts for every taste, very tall palm trees, you can meet retro cars, the pictures will be super.
MINUSES:
-if your children are accustomed to oatmeal in the morning, soups and cottage cheese, then at first it will not be easy for them. Although there is a shop nearby (5 min walk), you can buy yogurts and ice cream at normal prices
-we turned off the conder for the night, as they are directed on the bed, but on the shore it cuts disco and with powerful basses, you can hear it decently until 3 o'clock in the morning.
Therefore, they had to close the balcony so that the children fell asleep, then they opened it.
-I like to relax where there is no Russian-speaking staff, I can improve spoken English...but they also have a little trouble with English) especially in a restaurant, there is only one who knows English.

RESULT: in fact, there were more minuses, but upon returning home, only positive impressions remain. I want to note one nuance. Badrum is a region very popular among Turks and Europeans. There are few Russian speakers there. When we arrived, Ramadan had already ended and the Muslims had days off. The hotel was full of Turks and Iranians. There were no Europeans. But the next day there was an attempted coup in the country, the whole hotel was buzzing with news. At first I did not understand what kind of boil.

In short, everything changed a week later, there were about 50% Turks, 30% Ukrainians, Czechs, Germans, French, and the rest of England.
My conclusion is that it is ideal for children to travel from July 20 to September for 10 days, low humidity, warm sea. The locals said in autumn-spring the Aegean Sea will be cooler, better on the Mediterranean.
