Rested from 4 to 14 August, 3 adults. This is the third trip to Turkey, previously - 3 stars. Altin Orfe in Marmaris and 5 stars. Green Hill Bay in Alanya. So I know the standards of rest in Turkey.
First the negative. Riviera, as always, punctually met in Doloman and delivered by 9 pm. The guide girl took us to the reception. They said that there is no free room (although he had to wait for us from 12 o'clock), they will settle in 3 stars for the night. hotel nearby, and for the inconvenience they offer a free tour of the "12 Islands" on a hotel boat. They agreed (you can do it for free - a good alternative to lying on the beach, but not worth $ 55 per person) and a safe for free (they are mostly empty anyway). The next day they came, as it was said, by 12 and waited another hour for the room to be cleaned. It alerted us that we are not alone waiting, but also those who were seen in the evening. By the way, this is not an "exception" for the Russians, the British were also waiting. And then the Englishman was indignant that the room was not with one wide bed, but with two narrow ones!
Settled, the room turned out to be with two narrow beds and one children's bunk (I'm a voucher for 3 adults! ). We turned to the hotel guide, she tried to negotiate at the reception, but to no avail. Then we met the family - 2 adults and 2 children, they have a room with 1 double bed and 1 single bed! Maybe the Turks have confused us : ) The rooms are certainly not super, but quite decent. Not to sit in the room all day; )

Now positive. The hotel is located almost in the forest, the air is amazing, the birds sing. The vegetation on the territory is well-groomed, gardeners pick in the morning, but no one buzzes with a lawn mower. The windows of the room overlooked the forest to the east, the direct sun did not fall, the split was not even turned on. Beautiful path to the beach. It is not narrow at all and it takes 5-10 minutes to walk slowly to the beach. On the sides there is an impenetrable forest and a swamp, but why climb there? The forest grows right up to the beach and you can not lie on a sunbed in a row, but drag the sunbed under a tree. On the beach there are cafes, drinks, at 12 lunch - you can not go to the hotel for lunch. The sea is really unclear and with algae near the shore. But they are only in the wind and there are not so many of them.
The food in the restaurant is traditionally Turkish (did anyone expect something else? ) i. e. a lot of vegetables and little meat, but the dishes are varied, tasty. Behind the grill is really the first place for dinner. They wrote that there is nothing for children. And what should be? Semolina? There are a lot of children there and everyone eats something : ) The Dutch and the British even with very small children (in a stroller and with a pacifier). I was surprised by the understanding of the bartenders on the request for "van vodka". Pour not traditional 40 gr. a glass, but half a glass!
Animation usual - silly, but the Turkish animator tried. The children were happy. And I don’t know how many star hotels you can leave small children for nannies. And for discos it is necessary not to go to such hotels. After dinner, the music by the pool is not heard in the rooms, and at 23 everything dies out and the active ones move to the beach, to the "disco".
The receptionist has 2 shifts. One shift - two young Turkish women, one understands Russian and speaks a little. The other shift is an older Turkish woman (no Russian in any way) and a stupid Turk, with them only in English. The contingent of vacationers (in descending order) - British, Germans, Russians, Dutch, crests, Turks.
Towels are well washed and changed every day. But sometimes the cleaning lady made a mistake, didn’t report or shifted.
In general, I am satisfied with the rest.
