Hotel ratings by criteria:
We traveled as a family - me, my husband and son 12 years old. In general, they were satisfied with the rest. Maybe our impressions will help those who are going to go and choose a hotel, so I will briefly list the main pros and cons of the hotel.
Minuses:
1. The hotel is located on the second line from the sea. It’s really not far to get to the beach, it’s 100 meters from the hotel gate to the beginning of the beach, but the road is quite busy, so if this is not a problem for adults, then it’s not very convenient for parents with children, because. independent movement of a child, especially of primary school age, is limited either to the territory of the hotel or the beach.

2. Central air conditioning, which works by the hour. Opening hours we were informed at the reception after our (and not only our) complaints. So even during these hours it does not cool the air in the room at all. Luckily our room overlooked the mountains! In a word, who has health problems - keep in mind! If the owners of the hotel do not correct the situation, foreigners will not go to them at all, because. the Germans were shocked.
3. Animation. There are only 5 animators, as I counted - 2 Turks, one more or less with prof. training and 3 Russian girls, as they say, "from the plow. " The guys, of course, try very hard, the girls do a good job of entertaining little kids in the mini-club - up to 7 years old, they are happy to dance on the mini-disco. Everything else, and especially the evening performances, is a parody of the pioneer camp. True, the owners, apparently, understand this, and in a day or two they “dilute” the opuses of their animators with invited artists. There are also interesting shows. So, we liked the “party on the beach” with dancing and games around the fire, performances by guys on scooters, belly dancing and fireworks. There was also a gala show "Black and White" with performances of "water ballet" - synchronized swimming and fireworks again! Once there was a Turkish night and "live music". In a word, not everything is so bad! It’s a pity that there were almost no entertainments for teenagers like ours, but they huddled together and found entertainment for themselves: they played table tennis, water polo, volleyball and bochu.
Pros:
1. A very beautiful area with many secluded nooks and crannies and views that you definitely want to take a photo or video. Of course, the mountains give a special beauty to the landscape.
2. Cleanliness everywhere. The room was cleaned every day, the bed was changed every other day, towels - every time you throw them in the bath (there is a special sign about this). The maid was left a dollar every other day. Beach towels are issued on a deposit of $ 10 per piece, the deposit is returned upon departure. They are changed at least every day at the reception from 8:00 to 17:00. So this is in order.

3. Clean sandy beach. Entry into the sea - small pebbles, no pontoon. The beach boy does a great job and respects the tip. At first I thought that he clearly preferred the Germans to the Russians, until I saw that he was simply getting tips from them. They gave him a dollar a couple of times, and he rushed about with all his might, pointed out good places, brought an urn, a table, and so on. In a word, do not be greedy and everything will be OK. At 9 am sunbeds are always free, but the first rows are, of course, early.
4. Lots of free services. By the way, this year the beach bar is free from 10:00 to 18:00, which is very convenient. You can even dine there. Free use of the sauna and Turkish bath. We especially liked the sauna and the fact that there is an indoor pool with cool water and a jacuzzi next to them. Fine! We went there every other day in the afternoon, when the heat is on the street, and there is beauty! There is a gym and tennis courts, but we did not go there.
5. Quite an interesting design of the hotel (a transparent elevator, a fancy-shaped swimming pool, a very beautifully decorated billiard room and an English pub, which, by the way, has never worked).
General impressions: positive, the rest was a success and clearly worth the money spent. The hotel is a solid "four". Contingent: 70% - Russians and Ukrainians, the rest - Germans, Dutch, Turks (quite European-looking, by the way). Too many Russians, of course. The people are mostly 30 years old or more, a lot with children and even almost infants. Mostly couples and families. But there are also quite a lot of young people, however, it seems to me that there are more girls. A disco is held on the beach every evening, but we didn’t go there, so I can’t say anything. A minibus to Kemer stops at the gates of the hotel, it takes about 15 minutes to go, it costs a dollar.
I wish you all a pleasant holiday!
