July 2008 was spent on a trip for 2 2300 USD. 8 nights (don't remember exactly). The hotel does not correspond to 5 stars, although I am in Turkey for the first time, but I was in Europe and from other reviews of Turkey, I judge so.
The food is monotonous, mostly chicken, fish is sooooo rare, and then, horse mackerel or mackerel, but still delicious. Surprisingly, the food was insipid, few spices, there was no garlic in any dish, although this is how I imagined Turkish cuisine. In general, I did not like her. Pluses - a lot of various salads, herbs, all sorts of sauces for them. Such a concept as seafood or sushi is alien to this hotel. Lots of fruits and oriental sweets. But such a feeling developed - everything that was not eaten for lunch was mixed, beautifully laid and put up for dinner.
In the Ala Carte restaurant, there are 3 or 4 options for cuisine, we were insistently offered to choose Turkish, they say, the most delicious. Sorry. . .

as if half-eaten food was brought here in the restaurant, although they prepared grilled meat platter - beef, chicken and liver. Which turned out to be very tough and again without spices! Generally crap. The nice thing is that it was all on the beach.
Territory - not big, but it did not upset, everything was beautiful and well maintained. By the way, you can’t enter the territory of other hotels! And so I wanted. . .
The beach is first line, very close. This is a plus!
There was animation, but we did not come for it. Handsome Turkish animator - blond (I don't remember his name). There were no discos on the territory of the hotel, only on the territory of the neighboring one : (
The air conditioner worked great in the room.
When we arrived, I immediately asked for a see view, and in a categorical tone, we did not pay anything. And we were given a nice room on the 4th floor overlooking the sea and the neighboring hotel. Sea on the left, mountains on the right. The beauty!!
The minus is huge for us - outside the hotel, a whole street, which is associated with the Kiev Troeshchensky market. One cheap consumer goods. All sellers are from the CIS. And everyone is trying to sell you something.
Conclusion: overpaid, not worth the money.
