This is the most inhospitable and uncomfortable hotel of all the five in which I rested in Turkey, and there is something to compare with: this year, 20 years, as I have been every year, and sometimes twice, at least for a week, but I come here. The hotel is one large multi-story building with an empty glazed center around which the rooms are located. When you enter the building, you are immediately struck by the terrible heat and closeness. The glass roof gives the effect of a greenhouse. They settled us exactly at 14.00. At ten minutes to two they said that the room was not yet ready. There is no bar at the reception desk! To drink water or tea, you need to go to the exit to the pool, and you can generally drink only on the street in the beach area from 10 to 24. However, on the day of our departure, a bar was opened on the -1 floor, but for how long?
The air conditioning in the room is good, but everything else is just awful: stains on the floor; there are no handles on the door to the balcony; the handle in the bathroom hangs on one screw; there are no ceiling lamps on two lamps; black mold in the bathroom; the shell is broken; the furniture was tattered, the ceiling cracked. The refrigerator is so tiny that, apart from three 0.3 bottles of water, nothing fits in there. The pillowcases are all stained. The bed for 9 nights was not changed once. The towels in the bathroom were simply folded, as if they had been changed, but the stains were old. What struck me the most was that the hotel website contained false information. Instead of the declared two courts - one, instead of a private beach - common, beach towels cannot be changed.
On the beach, which they call sand and pebbles on the site, there is no sand at all, only pebbles. Where did they count 7 bars? Hardly found 4.5. For half I counted the counter, where they give only water and tea. In the mini-bar rooms promised the presence of water and soft drinks. I only saw water. Well, now about the main thing - the sea. The sea is almost always clean, but because. since guests from other hotels use the beach, it is no longer possible to find a free sunbed at 8 o'clock in the morning. The pier is not stationary. It consists of plastic buoys fastened together without any protection. Only one ladder leads to the sea from it, which is always crowded with people. With a slight wave of water, the pier begins to sway and the leg can be squeezed between the buoys. The road to the sea goes past a dirty chicken coop, which for some reason is called a mini-zoo on the website. Waste from the kitchen is poured directly onto the ground. The stink is terrible, it is impossible to get around. Next to the chicken coop are two dirty, flowering ponds with tadpoles. Chickens and roosters walk right across the territory. I wonder if the hotel management knows that this is not safe for small children? A rooster can easily peck a child in the eye.

But two things struck me the most. First: for a lost bracelet made of a thin ribbon, a fine of $ 25. Two of my friends lost their bracelets on the second day, my son on the fourth. An excellent way to earn extra money. You can also make paper bracelets. Second, the wine served in this hotel is dangerous to health. It's practically wine vinegar. I say this as a professional sommelier. If a person in a bar asked for wine, then he had just arrived. The second time, no one took the risk. If you get a pool view room, be prepared to stay up until 24:00. That's the end of the disco, which takes place every evening. I chose this hotel because of the rather large territory, but it turned out that a quarter of it is occupied by a huge football field, which the hotel rents out.
Well, the last of the minuses: of all the tables by the pool in the shade, only six. The rest are in the hot sun. And this is for 325 rooms! But as an objective person, I can't help but mention the pluses of the hotel: good beer; clear reception work: the presence of inexpensive shops right in the building (pay attention to the new generation silicone suitcases presented there) and food, about which I want to say a few more words. It is thanks to the chef that it seems to me that the hotel is not hopeless. Almost all dishes are not just edible, but even tasty, which is a rarity for Turkey. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of olive oil in the salads and the long queues for distribution.
