The hotel and the beach are divided into 3 parts. There is no direct access to the beach from the hotel territory - through the public promenade, passing through which you have to fear that a paraglider may land on your head. Beach: It is marked territorially, but everyone has an entrance to it. Pebbles and sand - the entrance to the sea is direct, but it is very painful to walk on it in slippers. "Corals" - our all, which you can buy in the shops going to the embankment. As for the sunbeds - the "bitchboy" who works on the beach will help you find a free sunbed and dig in an umbrella, the main thing is a bracelet on your wrist and courtesy towards him. Sea. Perhaps this is really the very thing for which you need to go here. IT IS BLUE and CLEAN (was). We left on August 3rd and there were already ashes in the water, coniferous needles, embers of bark from burnt trees... But there was no smell of burning.
Now for the remaining two parts of the hotel. The first part, which is closer to the beach and in which the reception and all other important places for our tourists are located: a dining room, a swimming pool, bars and a snake bar, two billiard and tennis tables, and the second part across the road 50-100 meters from the main building. Here, apart from two-story buildings, tennis courts and a 25-meter pool, there is nothing. The pool is not very popular due to its location, but it is very clean with a lower concentration of chlorine in the water, unlike the one near the canteen. It is pleasant to swim 100 meters in it without fear that you will meet someone on the track, which are marked exclusively by markings at the bottom.
The staff mostly speaks Turkish and broken English. The hotel has a lot of rest: local Turks arriving by car (the area is crammed with parked cars), Germans, Italians, Ukrainians and Russians. Upon the arrival of the latter, Russian pop music and... disgusting on the beach (bags, cups, napkins and other garbage), sun loungers occupied with towels and hats, as well as queues in the dining room and bar, appeared in the animation and music programs. As for alcohol - everything is of normal quality. ? In terms of nutrition - you won’t stay hungry for sure. Fruits, sweets, ice cream are also available.

Now for the hotel. The hotel is tired, let's face it, and does not pull on 5 stars. The Turks generally have a different approach to "stardom", for them the attitude of the staff and hospitality are more important. They are ready to help you in everything, however, to explain with them - a phone call from the room will not work - they ask you to come to the reception. On the first day of settlement, I had to go to them 10 times. Either the lock on the front door did not close (they changed the number), or the safe that we rented in the room did not want to open and close. The entrance to the standard room is blocked by a flimsy construction made of a metal-plastic frame, which is easily pressed through by the force of a hand or shoulder, this is what prompted us to rent a safe ($ 2 / day), which is rigidly attached to the wall and cannot be carried under the arm.
Standard rooms - designed for 2-3 adults, while the 3rd one will already sleep on an extra chair-bed. The room is small: 18-20 sq. m. , with a built-in wardrobe, desk, chair, air conditioner (where without it) and TV (2 Ukrainian-language channels and a couple of Russian ones). Coffee table - becomes a place where your suitcases will lie on top of each other. So the three of us will be very crowded there. The bathroom is a time-worn tile with smeared holes from past repairs and showerhead locations. The shower cubicle and tray are also beat-up. The drain does not work properly - you wash yourself in a puddle up to your ankles. There are no hoods in the bathroom, just as there is no normal full-sized trouble (a syringe mounted in the toilet bowl does not count). Of the soapy-rylny - solid soap (remnant, which if something needs to be washed, then it will not be enough), shower gel and something else. The hair dryer hums like a Boeing turns on the reverse on landing.
Audibility in the room is poor. If Arabs live behind your wall, and even with children, your task is to come to the room as late as possible (2:00 - 3:00 they can calm down) or get so tired that you won't care anymore. ? What's next: a street with shops, restaurants, markets and jewelry stores, exchangers and the Blue Lagoon (immediately throw a stone at the one who offers you to go there along the coast, unless of course you want to do business and sell corn and fragrant baklava along the way).
The Blue Lagoon is a public city beach for the locals, who sit there under every bush, and the water is muddy and has nothing to do with the blue color. All it is remarkable for is shallow water, which is suitable for small children. From entertainment, I advise you to try to jump from the mountain in tandem with a paragliding instructor (take a tour through your tour operator, there will be full life insurance) and that's it. Watching turtles, pomukalla tour, hot air balloons - wasted time and money. If they offer to take you to the city for shopping - do not agree. You won’t really see the city, but you will be taken to the most expensive places. Everything is the same well, or almost - you can buy on the street next door.
