All in all a great hotel, if in more detail:
1. Large beautiful well-groomed area.
2. Excellent food: everything is very tasty and a large selection, a lot of vegetables (fresh, pickled, boiled, fried, stewed, etc. ). For meat breakfast, only a few types of ham; perhaps for men it will be a minus, but with such a choice (scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, pancakes, rice, sausage, sausages, ham, several types of yogurt, a sea of ​ ​ vegetables, buns, cakes, etc. ) I could do without meat on breakfast. There was also meat for lunch and dinner: chicken, turkey, beef, and also fish. Of the fruits, there were only apples, oranges and strawberries, strawberries from greenhouses and not very much. Of the local drinks, wine (both white and red) is very decent, beer is also okay, but the cocktails are terrible, probably, strong drinks are terrible. BAILEYS is included from imports!! ! And something else, but we drank, in the main, wine or baileys. Bartenders make cocktails according to the principle “what you thought up, then mixed”, the taste and color of the same cocktails is different every time.

3. The beach is large and clean, despite the fact that Russians like to pollute it with cigarette butts and rubbish in the evening. There are sand and pebbles on the beach, it is difficult to enter the water because of the pebbles, but not fatal, the water in the sea is clean. There were not enough sunbeds, at 09.00 am there were no more places by the sea, you can still find something near the pool. Several sunbeds were brought when there were no more places, but after a couple of days (probably, when more people arrived), there weren’t enough places again. The way out is to take a seat by the pool, and go swimming in the sea (this is close), although this, of course, is not convenient.
4. Excellent SPA center: Turkish bath and sauna, indoor pool (the water in it, though cold) are included in the price, after the bath you can lie on comfortable chairs and drink free tea. There is also a free gym, but it is small and there is only one treadmill.
5. There is free tennis and other free sports activities (darts, volleyball, basketball, football), but we only played tennis. The table is close to the sea, where there is almost always wind, and it interferes. Aqua aerobics is weak, like step aerobics, but people always jumped there.
6. Animation is so-so, I, however, was only twice in 10 days. I wanted to shoot some animators because of obsession during the day, on the second day I got tired of it, I went to the reception and complained about two dybils, and they no longer approached us.
7. Ironing is greedy: they DO NOT provide an iron, the ironing service costs money: a dress is 2.5 euros, a T-shirt is 1 euro, a skirt is 1.5.
8. Safe in the room is free
9. The room is not bad, but when you see the huge luxurious lobby of the hotel, you involuntarily begin to expect a more beautiful room. In general, it is not bad, not small, the furniture is decent, the balcony is nothing and the bathroom is large, but compared to the hall, as I already noted, you involuntarily expect more.
10. Cleaning is not very good, generally clean, but they don’t really try, and if you leave a tip, it doesn’t change anything at all, after a few days we decided that there’s nothing to leave a tip for, and nothing has changed in terms of cleaning.
11. The mini-bar in the room is free of charge, replenished daily.

12. There is also food delivery to the room (from 24.00 to 07.00), but the only time we decided to use it on the day of departure, because. check out was very early, no one pick up the phone. At the reception they answered that we had planned an early breakfast, but when we arrived at the restaurant, there was almost nothing there, we had to find a chef and smile, he brought cheese, ham, vegetables and various buns, i. e. did not go hungry.
13. There are also paid massages, facials, manicures, etc. , but all this is expensive. Manicure and pedicure, for example, was offered for $45, hardly agreed for $35. Massage from 40 euros.
14. Internet is also not cheap: $4 per hour, but the main problem is that the office is in Turkish!
15. The disco is not bad, not Kyiv, of course, but nothing, drinks are also free there.
16. In the village of Guynyuk (across the road from the hotel) everything is VERY expensive, I ran out of sunscreen, so I could only buy it for $ 15 !! ! Souvenirs are all primitive, terrible clumsy quality and insane prices.
17. Excursions are also expensive: Pamukkale - $ 60, jeep safari - 40-45, Cappadocia (2 days) - 150, rafting - 45, water park in Antalya - 35, diving in Kemer - 70. We were only in Jerusalem - $ 425 , VERY interesting, a lot of impressions, it is worth going, but the tour is difficult: almost a day on legs and it is very hot in Israel.
18. Before leaving, I recommend printing out from the hotel website what is included in the price, i. e. free of charge, because the hotel will not tell you all this, and if you know, then you will use the services without problems.
