We took a last-minute tour for $470, read reviews, like norms. Now I understand that the reviews are a little untrue.
We arrived at the hotel at 10 pm, we were not fed, wandered around the village at 11 am looking for a bite to eat. They have 3 meals a day strictly on time. They impose the main food themselves, when you ask for more they begin to resent, the staff practically does not speak Russian. Other food is less satisfying and nutritious, and these are salads and desserts, you can take it yourself. In principle, if you are a girl, you will have enough. But in order to eat more or less, you yourself have to become very arrogant, humiliate yourself and beg for food from them. At the bar, only wine that smells of alcohol is free, juices are diluted with water, water is in the cooler from the tap, so we bought water in the store.
No one cleaned the room for all 6 days, it has already formed its own sand and pebble beach in the room. The bathroom is full of mold and water is dripping from the shower. After 3 days, the air conditioner started to work poorly for us, we went to the reception and told the arrogant man who wrote it down somewhere, but the air conditioner was never fixed. He worked a little somehow already lived with this. The beach is located 800 meters from the hotel, you have to walk. There are huge cobblestones in the sea, so you have to fork out for special shoes.

Prices for tourists in dollars. Therefore, do not be fooled and do not be suckers, otherwise I will be ashamed of you), look for local shops in lira. Do not buy anything in dollars, the prices are very high. If the price is not indicated, then this is all for tourists. The Turks will try to cheat you for money by any means. They have a municipal beach, so if you don’t have time to take a sunbed, you will be on a broken and rusty one at best.
Now the fun part! On the last day we had a transfer at 14.00. At about 12:00 we went for lunch. When we were having dinner, this arrogant owner came running and in broken Russian said that we should get out of the room. I had to leave the room, he was still yelling at us, but nothing was clear. But until 14.00 no one began to clean it up.
IN GENERAL: there is no service, there are no 3 stars in the hotel, the usual 3 meals a day, the beach is terrible, the attitude of the staff is like a g. . . vna. It's definitely not worth that kind of money. Better save up and take a normal hotel, otherwise you can ruin the whole vacation.
