Was at the hotel from 2/06/14 to 15/06/14. Liked. First time in Turkey. Previously vacationed in China, Thailand. In Turkey, I liked it more. Somehow civilized.
1. Settlement. We were seated within 10 minutes. The staff at the reception speak Russian to varying degrees. Two guys know well, the rest hardly, if necessary, call these two. They speak English well, don't you?
2. Number. The room was given in building 5. The room is 2 minutes walk from the main. Design, interior decoration in all cases is the same. Building 5 has advantages: its own swimming pool (divided into adults and children with a small slide) and its own bar (fanta, cola, water, coffee, tea, sprite and there was beer). Moreover, the first days there was no bartender and you could pour everything yourself as much as you want (and beer). Another plus - right in front of the "folk" simulators, very useful on a well-fed vacation, I went through everything 2 times in the morning. The building is surrounded by a fence braided with greenery, so there is a small area, well-groomed and planted with greenery. Turtle lives, cool. The rooms are nothing old, comfortable, clean. Two beds, an armchair-bed, a chair, a coffee table, a dryer, a TV set - 3 Russian channels, 5 towels, a minibar, an electric kettle, glasses, a wine glass, paper, a pencil, tea, a hair dryer, wardrobes with hangers, slippers, no bathrobes, a safe - 3 dollars a day (recommended, the right thing). Wi-Fi in the building and by the pool. To enter login room number, password date of birth. The speed is decent. The building is 3-storey with an elevator. Cleaned daily, without fanaticism. The bed was changed like three times. Yes, I forgot, there is a balcony in the room, there is a table, two chairs, an ashtray on it. Happy with the number, the body too. The water is always hot. The electricity flashed a couple of times, but there were no outages.

3. Beach. To the beach from the main building go 3-4 minutes, from 5 also about. The beach is pebbly, difficult to enter. The sea is cool, you get used to it, it's normal. There is a ladder to enter the sea. The sea is clean. Sunbeds in 5-6 rows, enough for everyone. Towels are paid, I bought for 4 lira and wore my own. There are wooden decks between the rows of sunbeds, the distance between the sunbeds is small, but on the first row the sunbeds are very close. Tourists themselves put them close, so that where one is free to add a second, or even a third for the company. There is a bar with TV. Only water and tea are free. The rest is paid. The beach is clean, there is a changing room, a shower with fresh water.
4. Nutrition. The food is good. Haven't tried all the dishes. Two soups. Lots of salads, different cheeses, condiments. Meat dishes of 6 kinds constantly, mainly chicken, lamb. Some dishes are prepared right in front of you. Lots of sweets, pastries in the morning. Fruits: apples, oranges, grapefruits, peaches, plums, watermelon, melon. The drinks. New dishes are constantly appearing, everything is delicious. Hotel guides from neighboring hotels ate with us, this is saying something. There is enough space for everyone, no one gets impudent, the waiters unobtrusively serve.
5. Services. Free: sauna (I liked it, I went almost every day, you can take a towel from the guys in the sauna), steam room, hammam, gym (many treadmills, bikes, one station, there are barbells, table tennis, darts, billiards, swimming pools (without heating, For a fee: doctor, hairdresser, massage, peeling, shop (by the way, cheaper than in a store near the beach - it’s sooo expensive there), suitcases can be wrapped in plastic for $ 8 at check-out, a lunch box is prepared for early check-out (apple, sandwich with cheese and sausage. ) Once a week Turkish night, uncle comes, he plays and sings quiet songs in non-Russian, foreigners like it, ours want more fun. There is no animation.
6. Tourists. Half of the Russian speakers in the hotel. The rest who are from where, are from Norway, other European countries. They don't stress. Everything is fine. There was no Tagil.
7. Staff. Benevolent. Always help. I won't say bad things.
8. Territory. The territory is small, well-groomed, planted with numerous beautiful and fragrant plants.
9. Hotel guide. Sweet, unobtrusive, will answer all questions, help. Will offer excursions (I went to Israel, Pumakalle, Demre, Ephesus, Antalya). There are a lot of street agencies nearby, I used Ginza for a trip to Demre. Cheaper and similar to my Pegasus tour operator. I can write about excursions separately and for a long time. Now we are talking about the hotel.

10. Location. The hotel is conveniently located, which is why I chose it (I chose the month). Close to the sea and close to the city center. 5 minutes and go out to the avenue with shops. 5 minutes and 3 night clubs Aura, Inferno, Crystal. Someone always performs there, I went to Viagra, Morandi. There were Quest Pistols, Lazarev, Banderos, Brezhnev, etc. There is no noise, no one interferes with sleep. There are no minarets nearby, prayer does not interfere.
Well, that's all, there will be questions to ask. The hotel is decent. If I want a more fun place, I will choose another hotel next to this one with animation. If I want to relax calmly and qualitatively, then I will come back here again. Have a good rest!
