It's been almost two weeks since my return from this hotel, and I still miss it and want to go back there.
And now more…
Settlement. As everyone was settled on the ground floor in a simply terrible room, it stank of dampness and music was blaring through the closed window (opposite the bar). She returned to the reception, smiled and politely asked, though twice. The result, known to all, Mustafashka helped bring the suitcase to another (excellent) room, did NOT extort money, she gave $ 10 and said thank you.
Food. Read reviews carefully! And if people write “you won’t stay hungry”, it means exactly what it means. I'm not picky, but the first 5 days I was frankly upset. For some reason, reading the reviews, I decided that in Turkey “you won’t stay hungry” means several types of fruits, definitely meat or fish to choose from. NO.

Yes, every day or evening there was something different, but there was no choice what to eat meat or fish today. And actually meat (chicken) was not every day. I would call it that, we eat what they give. (We are NOT even trying to compare with any Egyptian or Turkish 5th)
But in the next half of our holiday, everything was different. Apricots and watermelons were added to oranges and green plums (edible), and on the day of our departure even strawberries.
There was a grill almost every evening, two evenings it was mackerel or horse mackerel, one evening trout. The chicken was 3 times in 10 days (I don’t remember exactly), they made delicious pizza twice. In general, in my opinion, everything that was prepared was really DELICIOUS (the only thing is that I'm just afraid to eat soy sausages and cutlets). Delicious small dumplings 1.5 cm in diameter))), some envelopes and puff pastry sausages with no idea what's inside, cheese, sweets. Respect to the chef!
Summing up, I can say that the disappointment from the food was caused only by the lack of a proper choice (my SUBJECTIVE opinion, because I didn’t rest at all in 4, I saw only 5 *)
Animation. Read reviews carefully! Animation NO!
No, well, formally, of course it is. But no animator. This is an objective opinion, because. I heard "good" reviews in his direction from other vacationers, some of which were even expressed to his face. There is nothing to write about here. The only request, to those who go there. . . kill this animator. . . Maybe they will take a good one. This spoils the whole impression of the hotel.
Children's animation. There was a short conversation with the mother of two children. She did not like it, the children are bored. My view from the outside is that there are all conditions for small ones. There are a LOT of kids there. Those that were older huddled in flocks and seemed to stand on their ears. Despite the scarcity of the hotel territory, they have a separate area and another one on the beach. Children's animator is smiling and funny. It can be seen that they have already got it, but still trying))). Good girl! Heard it was praised by other vacationers.

The most important thing. And now about what really pleasantly surprised me. The attitude of the staff towards guests. I am not an avid traveler, but I have seen the attitude towards Russian speakers in Turkey and Egypt. All reluctantly, as if you owe them, and not they owe you. It's the other way around! Everyone smiles and greets, including maids, bartenders, waiters... yes, literally EVERYTHING! If you eat in the evening, the chef can easily come up to ask in Russian “How are you? ” and whether everything tastes good to you (in general, “how are you” in a day they can ask 10 times). The administrator makes sure that all tables are cleaned instantly. He set aside an empty plate - in a minute it will no longer be on the table. Any of the staff can come up to the baby and lisp with him. Before my eyes, a love arose between a Russian girl (seemingly no more than 2 years old) and a Turkish youth (the waiter Mustafa, aka Stefan) How he seduced her is incomprehensible, but after a couple of minutes she was already running after him around the restaurant and then again sat on his hands. Words cannot describe this atmosphere! You rest your soul and smile at them in return, because it is impossible otherwise! I want to say a big THANK YOU to ALL the staff of the hotel for a great mood and a wonderful holiday!!!
