First impressions of a hotel always start at the front desk. It should be noted that the hotel staff speaks Russian. We were met by a beautiful girl Mila. Her friendly smile, modesty and tact immediately bribed and set in a good mood. She advised us to take a room overlooking the pool, which we later never regretted. Mila, if you read this review, I will write again - thank you so much for this! Previously, we had to wait for the check-in, because. All rooms have just been cleaned. We passed the time by the pool, looking at the beautiful grounds of the hotel. The pool is awesome! What a cool decision to make it in such an ornate shape. Wi-fi is free, it catches well in the lobby (on all floors) and near the pool. In general, wherever the signal is not separated by walls.
The room itself was spacious, with light furniture. Everything needed was in the room. Large bed, soft mattress, 4 pillows. 2 bedside tables, table, chair. Countertop with built-in cabinets, mini-bar with water. Flat small TV - showed well, there is 1 Ukrainian channel and somewhere around 3 Russians. A large closet is a charm, very large mirrors are a plus. Shelves, although not deep, but the necessary things could be folded on them. There were enough hangers too. The toilet room is quite small, but everything worked for us. The only thing is that water could flow out of the shower cabin due to a loosely fitting protective partition. And if previous vacationers had spilled less stuff on the carpet, there would be no perfection for this room. Separately, it is worth noting the curtains. A curtain was provided here, completely blocking daylight. This is for those who like to sleep during the day. The air conditioning worked properly, automatically turned off when the balcony was opened.
The hotel staff left a lasting impression! More friendly, smiling and friendly people still need to be looked for. Always for every breakfast, lunch and dinner, they stood at the entrance and wished everyone a pleasant appetite. Dishes were cleared quickly, as soon as they were put aside. I always pay special attention to the cleanliness of dishes. So here, during my entire stay, I never came across a dirty plate, a glass, or cutlery. At the bar, they generally made it easier - they poured it into plastic cups. Although it is not aesthetically pleasing, it is cheap, reliable and practical)

Food. This could be a long story, but everyone's taste preferences are different. You can eat it, but is it tasty? We weren't very good. I had to search carefully before finding the most delicious of the entire range. Constantly the same. I will remember this omelette for breakfast for a long time! This is the only thing that could be taken warm. Well, there were sausages once. The rest is 10 varieties of feta, white sausage (Turkish meat products leave much to be desired), cucumber tomatoes and other greens. There were rolls, but the most delicious pastries are croissants. You could choose any filling for them - jam, confiture, chocolate paste.
Dinner. Every day 2 constantly repeating soups. If I ate tomato for the first 4 days with pleasure, then later I switched to lentil. There was a choice of second courses, but here, too, it was necessary to look for something special. Because eating pasta in Turkey is nonsense, of course. Vegetable saute, turkey, chicken helped out, sometimes there was stewed potatoes. The choice of salads was decent. But when I saw Olivier and vinaigrettes, I was surprised. But I was even more surprised when I later saw half-empty salad bowls. The Russians swept away everything. I was especially struck by the upbringing of some citizens who approached the bread department and “squeezed” alternately buns with their own hands))) Be careful, your bun may already be brazenly fingered by someone.
Dinner. Perhaps this is the most satisfying and varied meal. Especially for men. Finally, in the evening it was possible to see something more diverse than chicken / turkey. If you had time exactly at the beginning of dinner, you could catch meat cooked on the grill. These were lamb cutlets, juicy turkey and vegetables - eggplant, peppers and onions. Besides that, it was the first. Smiled "Russian soup". At the neighboring tables, someone praised him. But maybe they didn’t eat anything better in their lives, then I understand them. The variety of second courses was good. You can always find something for yourself. From salads to desserts. The latter, by the way, were generally none. Only once did a caramel dessert taste good. Too bad the chefs couldn't just make baklava. They certainly could not spoil their native dessert.
Of the fruits, there were watermelon, melon and apples.
For the ever hungry, there was a snack bar next to the pool, where French fries and hamburgers were prepared.

The hotel has a SPA-center. There is a dry sauna, wet, spacious indoor pool. On the first day, as expected, we did a peeling procedure with a scrub of your choice, a foam massage in a hammam, a manual massage with oil, a face mask and a tea ritual to relax from the road and prepare the body for tanning. The procedure cost $30. You also need to come here for the daily replacement of beach towels. By the way, they are really worn out, some are noticeably shabby and stains are visible.
Weather. We rested from September 22 to October 1 and the weather was gorgeous. It did not exceed 30 degrees, it was sunny. It has only started raining for the last 2 days. But it was short-lived, the sun appeared often. But the Turks themselves said that autumn had already begun to come to them.
Sea. This is a fairytale. It's hard to imagine a warmer place at this time of the year. About 23-25 ​ ​ degrees. Clean, so transparent that you can see the bottom when you swim. By the way, it's true, it's very salty. If you dive, it stings your eyes very much. It is better to take swimming goggles with you.
Beach. Small-pebbly at the entrance to the sea, a little further from the shore, larger stones. Tolerable to walk. The hotel has a good beach, a good awning is installed - there is enough shade. Many sunbeds, who wanted to, pulled them closer to the sea. There is a bar where you can get water and beer. They also made cakes there. We came across with potatoes and herbs. But they were very oily. I don't think they are suitable for children. Go to the beach with a free step for about 10 minutes. We were even glad that the road separates the hotel and the beach, because. always stopped to buy fruit - figs, peaches, strawberries, pomegranates. All prices are in dollars. You could ask to squeeze pomegranate juice - a glass of $ 1. Also nearby was a shop selling oriental sweets - Turkish delight and baklava. Humorous trader Ali will welcome you with open arms. And serve tea/coffee. We brought home many varieties of Turkish delight. My separate love is honey baklava, I haven’t eaten anything tastier from oriental sweets, it just melts in your mouth, I highly recommend it.

And most importantly, the atmosphere. The hotel has an amazing animation team. It hasn't even been a week since they arrived, and I already miss them so much. The two-meter locomotive of happiness Sasha is my love forever. Contact her for a good mood. Leads aqua aerobics in the pool, step aerobics, yoga. Adele is a great guy, dances great, does aerobics on the beach. From entertainment there are still darts, water polo, volleyball, table tennis. Mancho is the king of discos and just the kindest person. And, of course, Kakha is the constant host of evening entertainment. Sparkling humor, spiced with Georgian charm - that's the key to the excellent mood of the audience.
Every evening at midnight everyone was taken to discos. There, everyone danced together until 3 in the morning, and then again the bus delivered everyone to the hotel. The cost is $10 per person. It was possible to order drinks, but there was nothing below the cost of $10. Tables are assigned to each hotel, so there were no problems with having a place “to dance”.
Would you like to come back to this hotel? I would like to. Do I recommend this hotel? I advise. To whom? Youth couples, families with children. Everyone here will be bored.
We went on vacation for good emotions, weather and sea. And we got it all. Sincerely, Victoria.
