Chose this hotel, because. This year has been difficult financially. Rested from June 10 (10 days). This is not the first time in Turkey, before that I rested with my husband at the HV1 hotel, and I was also in Egypt 4 *. I am a calm and not picky person, so I knew what I was doing and what to expect from a 3 * hotel in Turkey. The travel agency said that this is a family hotel and it is best to go there with a child and that the food there is not bad.
So, LOCATION: in the village of Beldibi 1, on the second line from the sea across the road, walk for 10 minutes, but it did not bother. Very nice area, a whole street of shops, prices are very low (compared to Alanya). I bought jeans for $5, a blouse for $10, a small bag for $5, an excellent hookah for $18, etc. , the most important thing is to find stores with a sale and the ability to bargain. There are also many travel agencies in the district, from which we took tickets almost 2 times cheaper than from tour operators.
HOTEL: consists of 5 buildings, newer buildings B and C (a sauna is below it and I don’t envy those who live directly above it), the quietest one for families with children F (we managed to move to it), next to reception A (originally they settled in it, but the music and the roar from the disco of the neighboring hotel do not allow those who go to bed early to fall asleep) and another building is located across the road on line 3, there is also an amphitheater and a disco, falling asleep early is also not realistic. All rooms are in average condition, somewhere the TV does not work, somewhere the air conditioner, somewhere the tap is leaking or the shower does not work, there were complaints. So decide for yourself. At the reception, it is useless to give a bribe for a good room; it is not the girls who work there that are settled, but the owner of the hotel herself. Check-in is strictly at 14.00, and check-out at 12.00, so those who arrived earlier stupidly sit at the reception. A very large and beautiful area, which is surrounded by greenery, orange and lemon trees are everywhere (I think this is the biggest plus of this hotel!!! ). Vacationers in this hotel are only Russians and 1-2% Turks, whom the staff simply “licks”.

POOL: there are 3 in total, the first one is located at the entrance to the hotel at the reception, with a children's section and illumination at night, the pool bar is paid; the second is located in the center, next to the restaurant, this is the largest pool, all events take place there, the bar is free, but you will not find free places there; and the third is located at the far building on 3 lines, next to the amphitheater, there are always empty seats. But the water in the pools is very chlorinated (more or less in the third).
SEA AND BEACH: The beach is very, very small, the sunbeds are old, they fall apart right under you, there are not enough places for anyone, people lay towels and lie on the sand almost on top of each other, all this was very upsetting, because you go there only because of the sea. If you go to the right, you can go to a wild beach. Pleased with the sea, warm and transparent! The entrance is large pebbles, on the very first day we bought special shoes and did not bathe.
FOOD: It's just awful! I'm not a picky eater, but this sucks. A restaurant on the street with an awning, dirty dishes with splinters and lack thereof, huge queues, food is imposed by the waiters themselves in scanty quantities. There was no meat at all for 10 days, only soy and sometimes chicken, 2 times they gave small bony fish. The child ate only rice, cucumbers and rolls. There is no baby food at all. There were no normal Turkish sweets either, only some kind of multi-colored jelly. And of course, the lack of fruit (only oranges) and this is considering that we went in mid-June, when Turkey has everything. We went to the store and bought cherries and strawberries there. Also, the restaurant's work schedule is terrible: breakfast is only from 8 to 10 (and not from 7 as in other hotels, so you go on a morning excursion hungry), lunch is only an hour from 13 to 14!!! ! And if you didn’t have time to dine, this is your problem, the food will be pulled out from under your nose and carried away. The only thing that could be eaten was breakfast (boiled and fried eggs, rolls, butter, jam, honey, cheese).
Well, that's all, and then decide for yourself, but I do not advise traveling with children. Although the value for money is quite real. Follow along. If I'd better still save some money and choose a hotel at least 4 *. I'm posting pictures, take a look.
