SETTLEMENT:
It all started with the negative long wait for the settlement. Approximately 3 hours. We checked in at 11:30 am and were only able to check in at 2:30 pm. At the same time, those who arrived later were already settled. They have some "sides" with a queue. Of course, the services of the hotel can already be used even without a settlement, so we went for lunch (about the restaurant later). In compensation for the long wait, we were settled in a good room "1384" of the "Duplex" type.

ROOM:

Our room was two-story (2nd and 3rd floor of the building) with 4 beds. The furniture was new. All lockers with automatic closers. The room had a safe for free, drinks in the minibar only upon arrival (cola, fanta, still water, sparkling water and 2 biscuits). On the first floor of the room there was a balcony, and on the second floor there was a larger terrace. On each floor there is a TV: on the first LCD, on the second - a regular one with a CRT. The stairs to the 2nd floor of the room were very narrow and dark. There is nothing to hold on to ascent / descent, so you need to walk very carefully.

BATHROOM:
The bathroom has 4 large towels, 4 small ones (for hands and face), 1 towel for feet. Probably 4 towels each as a duplex room. There were also 2 bars of soap, 4 shampoos, shower caps, cotton swabs, cotton pads and, for some reason in the bathroom, 2 clean glasses. Of all the consumables replenished during the stay only soap, shampoo, toilet paper. Of course, I would like to see liquid soap and shower gel instead of hard soap. But this is not a big minus. The shower, sink faucet and toilet worked great. Nothing is leaking. The disadvantage of the bathroom is that there is a lot of humidity and water spilled on the floor does not dry out.
They clean the room equally well, at least leave $ 1, at least not.

After getting into the room, we went straight to the beach. The sunbeds by the pool were already full. But there are many free ones on the beach. The beach and pool are clean. Cleaned up constantly. The first 2-3 days were spent on mastering what is available and when at the hotel. This is where the Guest Relation service can help.
They are very friendly and will tell you everything. You can also contact them for questions about the room (cleaning, technical problems). There is a slide in the pool, but we did not get on it on the first day. The slide is open from 10 until lunch, and then when the lifeguard turns it on.

NUTRITION:
The variety of dishes in the main restaurant was very pleasing, as, indeed, their taste. Just eyes widened. There was everything: fish, meat, vegetables, and various side dishes. If you come to the restaurant on time, you can get honey in combs, free fresh juices, medlar and other goodies. The chefs keep cooking while the people are eating. Some dishes are constantly replenished. So if you come later, you won't go hungry. We didn't get any bad food. Everything is very delicious. The sweets were a nice touch too. Not only "wet" Turkish cakes, but also pudding, pies with various fillings, boiled pears with some kind of impregnation, etc.

I recommend that upon arrival immediately order 2 restaurants Ala Carte (more at a time is impossible). At the same time, specify when the Turkish night will be at the hotel and do not order for that day. Because on Turkish night the main restaurant is transformed and full of surprises in terms of cuisine. In our time, only 5 restaurants were open. Of these, we managed to visit 3 (Marine, El Torito, China Garden). The rest were busy for a long time ahead. Of these restaurants, I really liked Marine (sea food). I recommend visiting. During the day, if you get hungry, then in the snack bar, which becomes the El Torino restaurant (from 11 to 17), they prepare delicious pizza and tortillas. You can also have a snack with pasta with various dressings and chicken meat. And ice cream with different flavors and colors. If you are tired of pizza, then you can go to the El Torino cafe on the other side of the beach. There you can drink Turkish coffee (highly recommend), tea with cakes.

ANIMATION:
We immediately thought that we could go archery at any time.
We arrived at the place and there was no one there. Then we learned that many entertainments are available on schedule. For example, such as: archery, bocha, darts, volleyball, etc. The schedule hangs to the right of the stage and the animators are responsible for their implementation. You can check with them about the event. The guys are trying very hard, inviting people to games, entertaining. I recommend agreeing, then your vacation will be more interesting. Every evening there are performances in which the animation team takes part, and on the Turkish night you can watch a real belly dance.

In general, we were very pleased with our stay at the hotel. We were only 7 days. This is not enough. Only by the end of the rest you are already fully involved in what is happening. In my opinion, it is better to take a ticket for 10 days. I hope that there will be another opportunity to return to this hotel.

ADVIСE:
On a Turkish night in a hotel, do not buy things from merchants.
Even at a discount, they are more expensive than standard retail prices. For example: 100 grams of Sumac spice cost $10, and the day before we bought a pound of this spice in the store for $8. And so on. The temptation is still great and we bought neckerchiefs at a discount. Then they found them cheaper in some store.

If you have taken a sunbed with a towel, then be sure to pick up the towel before 19:00, because after that the sunbeds are folded and the towels are removed. You will not be able to return the towel card, for which you will have to pay $20 for loss.

If you come to the beach and there are no towels, you can take a towel from your room.

Play bocha - this is a very exciting game.
