Everything in the hotel is ok. I was not interested in animation, but people who want an active pastime are always busy with something. Children are also pleasing and led in formation. The nature is excellent, the beaches are beautiful, there are three of them, so there is no Sochi-Yalta-Kirillovka crowding of bodies. Their length is such that even a separate beach is allocated for guests of the villas, there is generally an empty piece, and on one, located "around the corner" on the left, there are "already" 8 bungalows, with a beach length of 200 meters. At the same time, the cafe does not work there during the day ( and maybe at night, too, did not go). The pool is large and can accommodate everyone. The sea is clean and warm, especially in the lagoon with stones located in front of the pool. The food is varied, fruits and vegetables in a complete "Turkish" set, from cherries to pears and grapes. They don't drink beer, probably because there are a lot of Germans. Gin and tonic does not cause a gag reflex. Champagne, rather brut, sweet lovers will not like it. Wine - standard "beyaz sharap" and red.
Rabbits on the grass under the pine trees near the diving club and goats on the rocks (sometimes descending to the lawns to nibble the grass and visit the feeders along the way) are pleasing to the eye, attract the attention of children and pose for endless photo shoots. For cat lovers, there are cats wandering on their own in the area of ​ ​ ​ ​ the cat house and hammocks.
The opinion found in some reviews about the bias of the Turks in this hotel towards the Russians is "somewhat" exaggerated. Well, the fact that the Turks are not Balinese and, unlike them, do not differ in cordiality and hospitality, has long been a known fact. This is not the first time I have been in Turkey and I did not notice any difference between the Medzhik staff and other hotels in this matter. Duty phrases in English and German, plus the "Elochkin" stock of Russian words from the staff, will fully provide you with the necessary minimum of communication. Although there are Russian speaking employees both at the hotel and at TUI, from which I had a tour. Even guides on excursions speak Russian quite well. All dishes in the restaurant are signed in English, German and Russian.

The room in the first building (the farthest from the sea of ​ ​ the three under the mountain) is large and comfortable (standard type - see the hotel website). Bathroom, shower large and regular size (in the same bathroom), two sinks, "white friend", all in mirrors and in a decent enough shape, hair dryer. Slippers and bathrobes, gourmets can bring their own. The room is quiet. I slept with the AC running, the nights are still stuffy there, I didn’t feel freshness. A large loggia, in some rooms there are terraces, twice the size of a huge loggia.
Mountain biking, table tennis and diving are available, in the water sports center (long beach) - kayak, windsurfing, water skiing and banana - free of charge. Sauna and steam room for free. Look for them under the restaurant, the entrance is to the left of all the shops. Tenants standing on the beach closest to the pool have a sailing catamaran ($50/hour) and jet skis.
The hotel will already be in the Rixos chain next season, it has been sold. But this is probably the case when both the buyer and the seller are satisfied. Santopia is not very satisfied with the profit per square meter of territory, but for some reason it cannot raise prices, and such a tidbit, with a huge territory, will obviously not become a burden for Rixos. Hurry to visit this season!
