I will say right away that this was the first experience of rest in Turkey and the second abroad, so there is nothing to compare with.

Upon arrival at the hotel in the morning, the administrator said that you can go for breakfast, as it is already running out, and for now she will take care of the design. Not having time to reach the dining room, we were intercepted by a girl who began to advertise SPA services. Listen - listened and went to breakfast.


After breakfast, the administrator said that they could settle us either on the -1 floor (without the possibility of changing the room to a better one), or for 2 days in another hotel - Botanik Magic Dream, and then they would move us back and give a good room with a sea view. We read in the reviews that this could be, so we were ready for this. We agreed to move in for a couple of days. For this, we were provided with free Wi-Fi for the entire period, free towels for the beach (as well as $ 1 for the entire period), a fishing trip and the use of a safe.
Of everything, we only used the Internet : ) By the way, Wi-Fi caught perfectly, including on the beach. And so the Internet costs $ 2 per day - what does the password for each gadget have to do with it.

Botanik Magic Dream turned out to be a good hotel, but, of course, "shabby" and smaller. But from the balcony there was a wonderful view of the mountains. We only slept in this hotel, we went to eat at the hotel where the tour was bought, since in Magic the choice of dishes was small, the dining room itself was cramped. Of course, it was a bit far to walk to the beach (500 m), but there was a shuttle service, although we did not use it.

After 2 days we moved to our Botanik Resort Hotel. We just asked the administrator to provide us with a car and take us to the Resort. We arrived, approached the administrator, she did not forget us and said that the room was ready. As promised, they gave a room with a sea view (although it is barely visible). The room, of course, is much better and more spacious than in Botanik Magic Dream. To be honest, we missed the view of the mountains from the previous hotel.
By the way, all the following days we observed how almost all visitors were offered either -1 floor, or to live in another hotel for a day or two. Apparently, this is a normal practice for them, so you need to be prepared.

As for cleanliness - the floor was washed every day, no dust was noticed, the bathroom was clean and tidy. Towels were changed every day, sometimes every other day. Cosmetics were updated regularly. I really liked that the air conditioner worked quietly - we left it for the night. Hot water - without interruption.


Food, in general, is not bad, especially if you arrive on time when there is still food. Lots of vegetables and herbs. Watermelons and melons - every day. There were also many desserts, although they all almost taste the same, but they look different, it was interesting to try. On Thursday there was a fish dinner, right on the street they cut tuna (quite spectacular), they immediately cooked it on the grill - very tasty. On the same evening there were salads with shrimps, mussels. This was the most delicious dinner ever.
Drinks, of course. The most delicious - gin with sprite. On the beach it was possible to pour fruit drinks (such as yuppies), water and tea for free. The rest is paid. Others have already written about the dishes, dirty.

The animation was like every evening, we are not fans of this, so we were not interested. Once we sat on the terrace of the hotel and watched the program from there.

About the beach. The beach is large, the entry into the sea is comfortable. There are enough sun loungers, you can always find a free one. But a lot of sun loungers are broken, the mattresses are tightened.

In general, we liked it, as we were driving over the sea and lazy rest. I repeat again, this was the first experience of rest in Turkey and there is nothing to compare with. I am writing a review a month later and I understand that all the unpleasant moments are forgotten, and only memories of the warm sea, wallowing on the beach and walking remain.
