We stayed at the beginning of September 2012. Two adults and a 7 year old.
The hotel is advertised as 5 stars, but in reality it is 4 stars. (comparing with Marty Mirra).
Next, I will write everything in order:
1) Nutrition:
- Cons: for dinner in the restaurant, no matter what time you come, there are a lot of people, sometimes you even had to look for a free table, there is always a queue for a barbecue dish (it's a fish on a grill and a chicken), I think that the placement of dishes in the restaurant is incorrectly organized, people constantly intersect and collide with each other, they never baked pancakes for breakfast, there is a queue for scrambled eggs, soups are only mashed potatoes, they didn’t really like it.
+ Pros: a very large selection of fruits, as well as a sweet table - there was always baklava,

you can dine both on the beach and in the main restaurant, it’s very convenient on the beach and there was only pizza there, at 10 in the morning on the beach in boats fruits were laid out - watermelons, grapes - you can take it with you on the way to the beach, as well as afternoon snacks on the beach - pastries and tea, ice cream Algida give out free of charge two types of white and chocolate at the pool bar (where the rooms are pool).
In general, the food is good, the service and cleanliness in the restaurant is at a good level, but not 5 stars.
2) Number:
- Cons: in 8 days they cleaned only twice, and there was no wet cleaning, we lived on the 1st floor and the tiled floor was never washed, there were constant water drops in the bathroom, at first it was infuriating that you spend a lot of time on the mood the desired water temperature, you also stand ankle-deep in water, the water comes off very badly.
+ Pros: Large spacious and beautiful room in a marine style, one double bed and two single beds behind a partition, a wooden partition separates parents from the child, there are two sinks in the bathroom - very convenient, gel, conditioner, shampoo, everything is calculated for the number of people living in the room, a large closet, it has an electronic free safe, individual air conditioning, but it blows directly on the bed, they turned it off at night, plus the rooms on the 1st floor are cool at night, those who lived on the top floor complained that it was very hot, TV - two Russian channels - Planet-Russia and ORT, access to the balcony-terrace - two wicker chairs and a table, upon arrival at the room bar - two bottles of beer, cola, fanta, mineral water and two bottles of water, when cleaning the room every day the bar is replenished only with water.
3) Pools:
One large pool near the buildings, but the water in it is cooler than in the sea, at 18:45 the sun sets over the mountain and you can already go to your room to prepare for dinner.
Separately, there are 4 pools, they can be accessed through an underground passage, which is very beautifully painted in a marine style.
1st pool - 7 water slides, waist-deep water, 5 out of 7 slides work, from 10 to 12 o’clock, be careful on the yellow extreme slide, remove your elbows (there was a sad experience, my husband tore off the skin on his elbows), in the same pool conduct water aerobics - there are many who want to.

2nd pool - water polo and games with an animator are held in it.
3rd pool - consists of fountains, the water in it is knee-deep - the meaning of this pool is not clear.
The 4th pool is just an adult pool, 1.5 meters deep.
4) Sea and beach:
The sea, as always in these places, is calm, clear and the water is + 29 degrees, which is what I like in Turkey - there is no one except for fish (no jellyfish, no rays, no hedgehogs), in the morning there was always complete calm and complete transparency, in the evening there were already unrest and muddy water.
The beach is large with imported sand, at the entrance to the sea there are small pebbles, apparently, therefore the sea is transparent. There are always enough sun loungers for everyone and at any time, instead of umbrellas - sunshades.
There is a pier - at lunchtime there are many who want to dive from it.
You can ride a catamaran and a canoe for free, but you need a $20 deposit, which is then returned, which is strange for towels, a $20 deposit is also made, which is returned before leaving the hotel. Other types of water sports are paid: two parachutes, a banana, a scooter, riding on an inflatable sofa. My husband was playing volleyball on the beach. There are also showers, changing cabins, and gazebos for sunbathing.
4) Territory:
All the hulls, and there are five of them, are made in the form of liners with decks, very nice, we had a B hull - very good. The building-numbers are located separately from the territory of the beach, amphitheater, pools, so you can sleep peacefully.
The hotel offers photo services, by appointment they make a photo session and give one photo as a gift, they also make henna tattoos, there is a SPA salon with fish peeling, shops.
There are slot machines for children, a trampoline is for a fee, a mini-disco with Russian songs, on Fridays in the amphitheater - Turkish Night.
5) Outside the hotel there is a whole street of shops, and you can ride camels.

We bought a dressing gown for our daughter, a tracksuit, T-shirts for $20 for ourselves, a denim skirt for $35 - all of very good quality.
We bought baklava and Turkish delight upon departure at the airport, in my opinion, cheaper than in the sweets shop, where tourists are brought on the way to the airport (on departure).
