- The hotel is nice, spacious and beautiful, lots of greenery and walkways.
- In restaurants, because of the new rules, now the delivery is "behind the glass": you show what you need and they impose on you and this creates queues, there are not always enough people for distribution. The Turks themselves say that the range of food is much poorer than in previous years, but at the same time the menu is very diverse and the food is tasty, of high quality, with a minimum of Turkish pepper and salt flavor.
- In general, it is clear that the level of the hotel is "to the maximum for Russo tourists": imported alcohol (Martini, Baileys, Tuborg beer, Brut Martini, etc. ) by the river and at all bars, at snack bars Algida ice cream as in briquettes in the freezer, and balls are available almost all day, gozlimom-airan burgers, corn (!! ! why ??? ) are cooked for snacks in the afternoon and near the beach on trolleys they arrange distribution... Water and sweet soda in refrigerators throughout hotel and on the beach around the clock. In general, the general feeling of "rich" throughout the hotel, from the quantity and quality of food and alcohol to the interiors - gilding, velvet and paintings (the owner of the chain is an Azerbaijani from Russia, but this is not accurate))).

- A good concert stage with professional lighting and sound has been installed near the beach, but due to quarantine, it is just a show with indistinct dances; I won’t tell you more about animation and all sorts of mini-clubs - I don’t like it, I avoid it.
- Covid-19: personnel in masks, completely worn over the mouth and nose, all mandatory, even on the street (in 40 degree heat); at every step along the territory there are automatic racks of spray-disinfectors (you raise your hand - it splashes); many perfectly clean toilets with new ozonizers (disinfect the room); at the entrance to the hotel there is a thermal imager and a girl is always with him - the temperature of all those passing by is measured and green (or red) frames are displayed on the screen; at the entrance to the spa and a la carte restaurants, they also check the temperature with thermometers-"pistols"; in restaurants everyone is quartzing at night; tables in restaurants are spaced well apart from each other (not crowded, as in previous years it can be seen on the promotional video that plays on the screens in the hotel); “social distance” markings are everywhere - at the bars, the line is divided by red ribbons and circles on the floor.
- It feels like a lot of people and this is only half the load of the hotel (Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova - July 2020). The central pools are covered with people, there is no talk of any social distance at all. Although the territory allows you to leave the crowd. It was possible to sign up for a la carte restaurants (Italian and fish) only "today for today" and had to queue in the morning half an hour from the start of their work to sign up - there were several times more people who wanted to accommodate at a time due to quarantine reduced the number of seats), the poor girls of the Guest Relation went crazy, because every day there were scandals - to stand in line in the crowd and not get in is very disappointing.
- Joyne Up. The hotel evened out the negative attitude towards the tour operator, because a three-month hassle with a 100% paid tour to Spain, blackmail with fines in case of cancellation and finally: they gave up and offered to rebook for the same dates. As a result, not Barcelona, ​ ​ of course, but we had a good rest. Sky Up planes are new and clean, they offer napkins at the entrance and constantly remind you "do not take off your masks", they flew back and forth clearly on time. The bus from the hotel to the airport also arrived on time, picked up 26 people from the hotel and promptly delivered to the airport (it had an accident on the way: a huge tank truck unexpectedly swerved to the side and demolished a mirror for us, the disassembly took exactly 10 minutes, the truck driver was to blame , recognized immediately, said the cat ran out into the road did not want to push). The bus did not deliver anywhere for any delights, the guide on the bus was laconic and businesslike "put on masks, buckle up. "

- Negative moments from the trip: our people - our people everywhere... they climb on your head, they try to huddle closer in line (fucking scoop), pull a sun lounger closer to the beach to lie down... they tell something and at the same time cough... tin. Near the signs "do not put sun loungers on the lawn" - Dozens of sun loungers are pulled out onto the lawn daily; in the pool there is a sign "15+ adults only" - a dozen shrill little ones splashing while parents are pumped up with alcohol...
