The hotel is really old, dilapidated, in need of a major overhaul.
Perhaps, thanks to the money that I invested in my passport upon arrival at the hotel, we were settled in the only housing suitable for habitation. But even there the toilet was leaking, I called a repairman, he came, twisted something, the day didn’t flow, and then for 11 days it flowed so that the entire floor in the bathroom was always flooded with water and waves dispersed along it when someone comes in. At the reception, several people constantly besiege Omar with requests to change the room. When I went up to talk about the leaking toilet, there were 3 more who said that they were leaking. In other buildings there is mold on the ceiling, dirty linen, insects, wet stuff, rotten doors, smell.
The territory of the hotel is green. all in fruit trees, very beautiful. But the impression is spoiled by the persistent smell of sewerage from the neighboring Selcukhan hotel, which is especially intensified in the dining room (bon appetit to everyone, especially those who sit closer to the neighboring hotel).

The sea is clean and close. The weather is good so far. The pools are clean, no complaints. But you can’t go into the sea without shoes - stones the size of a head. Beach towels are not issued (for the first time in 20 years of travel I encountered this). Umbrellas are small, 12 pieces, with a maximum occupancy of the hotel of 800 people. The sunbeds are old, broken, the mattresses are assorted, shabby. 600 meters = wild beach. Very beautiful, good entry into the sea. But there is nowhere and nothing to lie on (no shade or sunbeds). Just go take a picture and swim once.
There is almost no food. I'm still in shock. I have always gone to 4-5 stars, this hotel is also like 4 stars. A hot dish is one side dish (rice or pasta) and a "main course" - soy meat or chicken, and the chicken is not fillet, but it is not clear what is ribs or offal. The taste of "chicken" is very strange - a frog or some kind of rat. I tried it once and never took it again. And vegetables. Cucumbers, tomatoes and eggplants in different combinations.
Once there was a fried small fish, which I usually buy for my cats. Of course, no one began to eat it, and as a result, the cats got it, of which there are a great many. It didn't bother me at all, because I love cats very much.
In the morning there is nothing at all - we bought groceries in the store. No cereals, pancakes, toast, scrambled eggs, yoghurts (!!! ), nothing. Even butter to spread on bread. There are no rolls that Turkish and Egyptian hotels are famous for. There were always megatons of them! Just a few loaves. There is no toaster to toast it.
Bar. Separate shock. According to the rule and according to the description, "all inclusive" is light drinks and alcoholic local production.
Usually in Turkey it is tea-coffee-juices from packets-cola-fanta-sprite and local rum, vodka, gin, whiskey. There is no alcohol at all in this hotel except local beer!! ! Nothing at all! Even for money. The bartender is standing in the bar, and behind him is a hundred empty beauty bottles.

He does not even ask what to pour for you - and it is so clear that beer. Maximum - 2 glasses in one hand. There are no juices from the packages. There are no juices at all. There is a machine in which dry chemical powder of different flavors and colors and water. It's called a juice machine. You approach, you press the button, which Jupi you need to mix, and the machine mixes and pours. Tea and coffee are only instant and the machine only works during feeding hours. Hot drinks have to be poured into small disposable glasses - there are no cups (! ). Therefore, people who are accustomed to drinking tea and coffee from large mugs pour them into soup bowls, above which it is written by the hotel administration - please do not use for tea and coffee. And what do people do if there are no cups? Give cups and no one will pour into soup bowls. By the way, there is no bar on the beach. so forget about cocktails on sunbeds by the sea. Apparently, as unnecessary, they did not put it.
there is still nothing to pour, and collecting another hundred empty bottles to decorate the "bar" is too expensive and boring.

We left the hotel at one in the morning, so the day before we ordered lunch boxes at the reception. At night they came - a sleepy Turkmen or someone who does not understand a word of Russian is sitting. I say lunch boxes. He shakes his head and spreads his arms. He points his finger at a piece of paper where there is no mention of us. I flipped the sheet back to him and showed him, here is our order. He shook his head again, flipped to the end and pointed to other names. Well, don't hit him. So I left with a hungry child.
In general, such a trip is suitable only for people who want to get to the warm sea at any cost, no matter what. But only it should cost 2 times cheaper. Because 60.000 in 10 hungry days is unbelievable.
Rest in this hotel can be tolerated only if you perceive it as a rest in a boarding house of the "organs of movement" from the well-known Soviet tragicomedy "Love and Pigeons".
