Good day to all.
I rested 15 days from 19.06 to 03.07. 2013 with a family of three (me, husband and 10 year old daughter). I picked this hotel myself (I don't trust travel agents); -), based on finances, your personal requirements and the desire not only to sit on the beach for all 15 days, but also to take 2-3 excursions.
The hotel is not new, but clean, green, cozy, compact, combined with the hotel "ORA". I also chose the flight (arrival and departure) myself. Arrival time 14.00 - we were at the hotel at 14.35 and we were immediately settled, the check-out time was 13.00 (we managed to have breakfast and swim and dine and rent a room. Convenient, isn't it?
So in order:
1. ONURe has a Russian-speaking manager at the reception, the name is Anna. In ORe, no. The service staff is fluent in English, who at least does not know much (like us) - the rest will be even more fun. : -)) By the way, I didn't consider it hard work and learned 4 words in Turkish: hello, goodbye, thank you, please.

The Turks were happy (they were just humanly pleased).

2. Numbers - for 4-5 points.
The room is clean, cleaned every day, linen is changed every 3 days. I put either 1 dollar or 1.5 lira on the table. Both me and the cleaner were happy. The air conditioning works mediocre, but quite saves from the heat at night. Take a liquid mosquito fumigator, tablets do not save.

3. Restaurant - there are 2 of them, one in ORe, the other in ONURE, eat where you like. The food is monotonous, but the choice is wide, you will not stay hungry, the feeling of constant overeating was present. ; -)

4. Pools - there are 4 of them, we liked to swim in the two ORA pools, since the beach and the sea are nearby.

5. The Aegean Sea is super! ! ! The cleanest sea, standing on the pier you see the bottom, We were lucky and the sea was warm all two weeks - 24-26 degrees. The wind appeared five days before departure, but it did not bother us. Then he subsided. Since we are all good swimmers, the pier is not a hindrance. With small children, people swam on another pier, where it is shallow, but a special one is needed. shoes - rocky bottom. Buy goggles, you won't regret it.

6. Animation is poor. AT 9.
30 children's mini disco begins, and then adult dances. There is a children's room, who will be with the children - I recommend, the children make friends, there are two Russian-speaking animators.

7. Hotel guide - name is Rudolf - he is Georgian. Good young man. I read a lot of reviews about him and mostly they were not very positive, but what can I tell you: the legs of the wolf are fed - he is a normal person who just earns his bread during the season, and he works hard from 7 in the morning until it stops, running between two hotels. The job is not easy. We bought two excursions from him - Cleopatra Island and Dalayan. Yes, they overpaid a little, but it was safe and organized.
Rudolf - big hello to you and thank you very much!

Why I chose this hotel I will explain in more detail.

Rested from 19.06 to 03.07. 2013, and paid for vouchers in April-May. I had an early booking.
The cost of the tour is 2.600 UAH + travel to Kyiv in both directions - 900 UAH. Travel from the station to Boryspil and back - 240 UAH.
TOTAL 2.
740 UAH and we took 1000 dollars with us and left them in Turkey. ))))
CONCLUSION - I could take a good five for 15 days for 3700-3800 dollars, but I would not allow myself excursions, gifts, an aqua park and much more. And so we had a great rest, went for a walk around the city of Bodrum on our own, also independently visited the Aqua Park in Bodrum and St. Peter's Castle. I advise everyone.
I chose Bodrum intentionally - this is one of the most beautiful places in Turkey, from the hotel to Bodrum 10 minutes by minibus (cost per person or 3 lira, or 2 dollars, or 1.5 euros. )
We went to the Aqua Park ourselves, it cost us taking into account entrance tickets, money spent on food and drinks, transport in both directions - exactly $ 100 - it's not expensive.

By the way, I have never seen so many iPhones, iPads, etc. at once. The poor do not rest in this hotel. Draw your own conclusions.
So enjoy your stay at this hotel.
