We stayed at the hotel in the summer of 2026. The overall impression of the hotel is positive, but there are certain points that should be noted.
I'll start with the pros. We arrived in the morning, arrived at the hotel at about 8.30. We were immediately given bracelets and sent for breakfast. This is very nice, since we arrived with children. We were also immediately given cards to receive beach towels and we spent the time before settling comfortably on the beach.
We were settled somewhere after 13.30. The rooms were newly renovated, next to each other (there were 5 of us: three adults and two children) with a beautiful view of the courtyard. The rooms are small, but for two - okay, but for three - cramped, because an additional bed was placed at the foot of two beds. Plus, there is a free minibar with drinks, which was replenished daily. Towels were cleaned and changed daily.

Now separately about the hotel. The entrance to the hotel is not at all presentable, and the lobby looks outdated and somewhat shabby. The hotel is built in the form of a closed square and you can move around it without leaving the building. However, the first two days we wandered around, looking for a way to the restaurant. But that's almost everything we didn't like about the hotel. In the middle of the hotel there is a wonderful pool, well-groomed green area, a well-equipped beach with a sufficient number of places and awnings, a two-level pier and a wooden path for entering the water. Therefore, even for those who did not have special shoes for swimming, the entrance to the sea was comfortable. It is nice to note that even on the beach there were specially equipped places for people with disabilities and places for those who did not buy. Beach towels could be changed as many times as you needed.
The sea is simply magnificent, but at once quite deep. It is a pity that several times there was a film of dirt on the sea, which spoiled the mood.
There are two restaurants: one with an open terrace, the other with air conditioning. You could choose as you wish. The food is varied, but somewhat specific. There were many meat dishes, but not very understandable for a European person. The cuisine is mainly local, quite spicy. It was a bit difficult to feed the children, because even those classic Turkish white and red soups were spicy. There were no classic French fries, but pasta and chicken of a neutral taste were always there, so no one was left hungry. A large amount of fruit. Seafood on fish day (Monday) is just mountains of sushi, shrimp, tuna, red fish. On other days - fish fried or grilled every day. Coffee only in coffee machines.
There were three bars on the territory of the hotel, one of which was open 24 hours a day. Local alcohol. Bartenders prepared delicious cocktails. There was also a cafe with ice cream (very tasty), sweets and tea/coffee. Every day, they took turns baking delicious waffles, sticks, and more. Our children also liked that one of the bars served popcorn.
Animation. In my opinion, there was enough entertainment. In the afternoon - volleyball, darts, bocce, aqua aerobics, games in the pool. In the evening, a disco, music, singing. We had enough. The children were delighted with the water slides.

Now about what we would like to improve. The hotel has one big minus - the general air conditioning system. The hotel was built a long time ago, and even in the rooms where repairs were made, it was impossible to adjust the temperature. In both of our rooms, the air conditioners worked very loudly at first, and then completely broke down, and at a temperature of 38-40? C is bad. But they repaired the air conditioners immediately after the complaint. They did not work quieter, but still it was cool in the rooms. Because of this air conditioning system in the restaurant and bar it was hot, if you do not sit so that the cool air blows directly on you.
Considering all the pros and cons, I give a rating of 8 out of 10.
