If anyone is too lazy to read further, then a brief summary - the hotel works out its 4 stars perfectly)
We chose this hotel based on reviews and recommendations from a travel agent. Based on the criteria - the Aegean coast and the normal price / quality ratio. Everything worked out as planned.
We drove from the airport for about an hour, our hotel was the last, the third in the delivery. We arrived at 13:30, had lunch and were immediately settled. It is difficult to assess loyalty to early check-in here, because. Everything was done at the official time.

We took the Anex number. It is located across the street from the main building where the Standard rooms are. Crossing over the bridge over the road, without exiting the territory. Compared to the Standards, 50 meters farther from all places of activity. The windows of all Anex overlook the road, which is not very noisy, but maybe it’s tense for someone, it didn’t bother me and my wife. From part of the Anex rooms you can see the sea. Everything in the room was working, not a single complaint, the furniture and plumbing were relatively fresh. We were visiting in the Standard room, that room was "tired" in everything, although it was noticeably more spacious. But if the family is 3 people. then you need to take the Standard, in Anex with an additional place it would be crowded. The Anex building is three-story, the passage leads to the middle floor, you need to additionally go up the stairs to the first and third floors.
When checking in, we were asked about the health restriction, we said "no" and only then we understood why there was a question and regretted it. My wife has a knee injury and frequent use of stairs causes discomfort. (Thank God I have no injuries and the stairs did not bother me). On the second day they asked to change the floor, explained the reason. We were sent for tomorrow. Tomorrow again "tomorrow". But here we already showed firmness and said that we would not leave the reception until the issue was resolved. We consulted, asked to come in two hours, the room is cleaned. They came - everything is OK, they did not deceive. The new room was also in excellent condition. Eco was not in the rooms, but bar acquaintances spoke not very much about him.
The hotel grounds are well maintained, beautiful plants, but relatively small. Walking like in the park will not work. There are several slides a la water park. Open until lunch 2.5 hours and the same after lunch. But snorting is enough. Surprisingly, there are no queues for the slides at all. Written age limit of 12 years and height, but really ride and almost babies.
The beach is excellent, gently sloping, sandy. The kids will have just what they need. Carefully removed. There are also moorings and pontoons. There are plenty of sun loungers on the beach, near the pool and on the pier. Unfortunately, there is a bydlopraktika "I'll borrow early in the morning, but I can come at least in the evening. " If not for this, probably half of the sunbeds would be constantly free, but if you came during the day, you had to wander around until you find a sunbed in a suitable place for you (we always searched in the shade). Right now I am writing and it just dawned on me that I have never plunged into the pool), only where there are slides.

The hotel is in a closed bay, so even when there was a wind, the waves were minimal, although it was clear that it was stormy in the open sea. When there were waves, the garbage and algae brought a little. The staff tried to catch it all with nets promptly and clean it up. Well, if you go from the pier, then this is nothing. You can swim with a mask, interesting fish are present. Not Egypt of course, but also normal.
Excursion took paid only on a pirate yacht. I liked it very much, I recommend it. Nice, interesting. Swim, snorkel. If anyone is traveling, I recommend taking a snack with you. Lunch will be, but of medium density, so you can get hungry. For other excursions that were interesting in our opinion, we had to go far and long, so we regretted our time. We took a free shopping tour to Bodrum. We were brought to the salon with leather. Here, as everywhere in such places - you need to bargain desperately). We bought something for 50% of the originally stated price and probably can be found elsewhere and cheaper. But it was still cheaper than at home and really high quality. After that, we said that we don’t want to go to other places, just take us to the center of Bodrum.
We originally planned so, so as not to go by public transport. We walked around the city, along the embankment. Fortress of St. Peter with a museum under reconstruction, it is written that 50% is open. But they probably lie, according to my estimates, no more than a third. Entry price is about $9. Not justified, do not recommend. Back by public transport. To Yalikavak 7 lira and then to the hotel along Yalikavak another 4. We went to the center of Yalikavak separately on another day, the embankment with yachts here is no worse than in Bodrum. At the market, we bought some small things from textiles and spices. There is nowhere to walk around the hotel. We went once up the mountain to the destroyed windmills. The view from there is amazing, I recommend it.
The food at the hotel - I liked everything. There was always enough food that I needed. Varied, delicious. Waiters almost fly. The hotel was fully booked, so they had to have time for everyone to make a clean place and appliances. It turned out. From alcohol in bars and restaurants from 10 to 24 vodka, brandy, beer, whiskey, white / red wine of local production. I recommend going to the a la carte fish restaurant, it was nice and tasty. You need to sign up on the first / second day, otherwise there is a queue.

At least half of the tourists are Turks. I liked them very much, they are calm and friendly. There are very few women wrapped in black, most in secular beach clothes. Many Poles, a few Russians, a few Ukrainians. I heard German speech, Danes, Slovaks, but these were all single copies.
Animation during the day is not intrusive. In the evenings every day a show for an hour. Seats in the amphitheater are limited, you need to take a little in advance. There are no noisy big discos. You can triple your company with yourself, there is a small disco place near the beach.
