Arrival in Izmir, to the hotel with one technical stop for 10 minutes - 1.5 hours. Check-in is fast, it was not possible to change the room - loading according to the manager is 98%. Description of all the charms you can read in other reviews. The water park is excellent, "Butterfly" is one of two on the entire Aegean coast - this is a wow effect!
The sea is cool, invigorating, warmer before lunch, after lunch - the wind was and the waves make the water cloudy, there is cleared sand, along the edges of the beach there are boulders with a lot of live mussels and fish) Relaxation and solitude - guaranteed!
Restaurant - they didn’t give bananas, the children suffered) There was strawberries once, there were no peaches, cherries and apricots - they bought directly from the hotel on Thursdays at the agricultural market (it’s open until 17, after dinner they already lower the price, you can bargain, buy better for lira). The restaurant makes sushi - we didn't like it, one rice. There are many fish dishes - but not all were also at the highest level (there is something to work on). The waiters are all great - they will help, bring, smile).

The exchange of small bills is possible at the reception, if you change a lot - they have no change (.
We went to Didim - we stopped the minibus near the hotel, the fare is 9 lira, it goes straight to the center, Waikiki and the embankment (I recommend a trip). You need to be back before 21.00 (the last minibus).
There was practically no animation for children, this is a minus, the smallest children up to 4 years old only painted and cut something, older children hang on their parents (In the evening, children's animation on stage starts at 21.00, I think it's late, it should be at 20.30. and a couple of songs with dances - this is about nothing. They promised the arrival of a new group of children's animators - they did not wait.
Outside the territory there is nothing special to do, there is an island - go in the morning along the spit and see how the fishermen hand over the catch of fish, which is then transported to the shore by a tractor. A couple of grocery minimarkets - you can buy butter, Turkish delight, and all sorts of things at home (payment by card is possible).
And yet - the hotel strongly promotes itself among travel agents - promotional tours regularly. For these groups, there are separate cocktails upon arrival, a musical greeting, a separate menu in the restaurant and tables, cocktails and personal service. Therefore, most of the reviews are from travel agents, a little embellished, because there is a special approach to them.
In the hotel, most of the local Turks with families (very decent, well-mannered and tolerant), Poles, Germans and Ukrainians (with children), so I recommend it as a family hotel.
I advise the hotel management to pay more attention to the leisure of vacationers (the tour operator Coral made me very upset by the lack of exciting excursions and silent guides who did not work out their bread). There is no music and a full-fledged bar on the beach (now there is a booth and a gloomy bartender, there are no cocktails in the bar, all the animation is in the pool, but it must be sent to the beach, because there are people there too.

Ennobling the island and organizing trips to Bodrum from the hotel - that's where I would start.
I wish the hotel further development and prosperity!
