Hello! The first line for those who choose in 10 minutes is a very modest hotel for 3 ***, for picky tourists, and those who plan an active holiday outside its gates. Red price for Ukraine for 7 days - $ 650 for two for an economy room.
0. We took a ticket through the TUI, paid 16513 UAH, with standard insurance (not sports insurance). WIND ROSE rescheduled the flight from 12.15 to 18.30, minus half a day, they were upset. Our Turkish guide said that this is rare for Rosa, Rosa's worker at the airport said that this is how it happens now every Friday, keep in mind. But the flight as a whole was easy, 2.10 minutes, they flew there - they gave only water, back - orange juice and water. The staff on board are great!
1. Check-in was at 23.00, a very strange gate, I would not have realized that this was the entrance to the hotel, they didn’t bother with the facade architecture in general : ). They fed us soup (all soups are creamy, not for everybody). Room - not cleaned, towels of past tenants on the balcony, leftover food in the fridge.

2. Economy room D-407, overlooking the pool, 4th floor, small, double bed, table, 2 bedside tables, wardrobe, small refrigerator. All battered, but working. Small TV (5 strange programs), Conder - worked well, the walls were painted in a peach shade, tiles on the floor were everywhere (which is a huge plus, acquaintances had a shabby carpet in the standard). Towels - 2 small, 2 large, on the bed instead of a blanket a small waffle sheet for two (it was difficult to fit).
3. There are no dishes in the room, no drinking water, no kettle. The safe is paid, I don’t remember the price, like $ 1.5 per day, we didn’t take it. Wifi - almost non-existent in the lobby, paid in the room.
4. Bathroom. Very bad. A shower box without a tray, everything is covered with fungus and plaque, a rusty toilet bowl that has not seen a duckling (I poured whiskey on arrival, which we brought with us - it was just a shock), a dirty mirror, from the funds - one lonely soap in the package and liquid soap in dirty tank on the wall. Working hair dryer on the wall. There are no foot towels on the floor, everything is streaked. There was always water, the pressure was normal, a couple of times with hot there was tension - it was lukewarm.
4.1. IMPORTANT! I would recommend taking a rag and a toilet bowl cleaner with you, and all soap-and-rinse ones, and keep it all in a separate bag - when cleaning, they throw everything away at their discretion, keep in mind
5. Balcony. Excellent - small, cozy, clean, 2 armchairs, to chat over wine - a miracle! There are mosquitoes, but not many.
6. Pools and territory. 1 pool is bigger, the water is warm, with a slide for kids (so that they don’t see water in it), clean. Around the sun loungers with good mattresses. Close to restrooms and showers. Another smaller pool for the kids, and a very small paddling pool for the crumbs. The territory is very small, there are plants, behind the hotel there is a magnificent view of the mountains. Tables everywhere, waiters bustling about.
7. Sea and cemetery. Go to the sea for 3 minutes, passing the wall of the cemetery. I learned about it from the guide, in general, you can go in and get acquainted with the tradition, it's okay. My husband did not go, I took a walk, there are many beautiful trees, palm trees, but it is very unkempt. Cicadas are cooing in conifers, a very interesting sound, here it is everywhere.

8. Beach. Consists of 2 levels. On the ground there are plants, cafes, sunbeds under the trees. Everything is unkempt and poor. At the lower level - sun loungers with umbrellas, a narrow strip of pebbles (shore), restrictions by a crooked fence - like in the village with a grandmother in a barn : ). I didn’t take mattresses, they were scary, there is a free tank of water, no alcohol or juices. I love wild beaches, large pebbles, it is better to go in shoes. The sea is clean, do not expect snorkeling, no fish. If you look at the shore from the water - mountains stretch, beauty !!!
8.1 free beaches of Goynuk and Camera are much more picturesque, I recommend visiting.
9. Food. Just a lot and everything is for everyone. No meat, holiday chicken, soy jokes and terrible sausage, brrr, heart and ventricles - one thing - and behind it a fight. Fish - herring and herring. Potatoes are rare. Stewed vegetables are always delicious. A lot of grass - it's super, olives of several kinds, cheeses, I liked pickled peppers, soups - cream. Delicious bread baguettes. From fruits - watermelon, orange, grapefruit. From the sweet - cakes such as jelly (well, such), figs, there are always a lot of them. Muesli, cereal. There are pancakes - all through the queue. If you are meat eaters, like me, take sausage with you (cheese, whoever likes what), we did this and the issue with food was always resolved. You can eat in the restaurant, on the terrace of the 2nd floor (the best option), at the bar at tables overlooking the pool. During the day, you can get by with cookies and snacks - I liked it for coffee.
9.1. Lunch boxes - the worker himself said that there is not much. Say that for a tour, order the day before until 20.00 and pick up before 7.00 in the morning. We did not hope for this case and took it with us from the room.
10. Drinks. According to the experience of Egypt, they took with them "delicious" whiskey, Pepsi, martini from home / dutik. And at the bar they took vodka with sprite a couple of times - normul and without dyes, wine did not attract (they gave it for dinner), beer was nothing. Turn. The coffee is delicious at the bar. UPI-type juices from vending machines - cherry, apple, orange, pineapple, for me, water is better.
10.1 IMPORTANT! Water - you can always pour it into a bottle with you in your room or on a trip. Take the container, around the city and on excursions this business is paid $ 1-2 for 0.5.

11. Hamam. On the territory paid - $ 15, we did not take it, but if you decide - it's better on arrival, while there is no sunburn, and right there you will be given free Wi-Fi. In general, they take it to the city hammam for $ 10, we never tried it, there was no time. People's opinions are divided, someone really liked the city, someone at the hotel.
12. Animation. We did not participate, but I saw morning yoga, games in the pool for adults and children, evening entertainment until 23.00. I think everything is great here. There is a separate stage for events.
13. Sounds. Whoever has a light sleep - take earplugs, we fell asleep like the dead, under karaoke songs. Roosters and the mosque were not heard, but on the day of departure at 5 in the morning, sounds were heard from the windows of the corridor.
14. Cleaning. The woman did not understand Russian, with a fight they knocked out the replacement of other people's towels and a towel on the floor for legs, then it disappeared, we threw a small front one on the floor, then they repeated to us))) She made us dubious compositions from stale linen on the bed with flowers, floors soap, and that's it. The toilet never smelled fresh. We left Alenka a couple of times, and then we didn’t want to. Once she gave us 1 set of disposable shampoo and gel, and 2 soaps. Changed towels if thrown on the floor. Don't forget to put a cleaning sign on the door.
15. Transport. Route 07 runs along the road in front of the hotel, no stops, wave. To Kemer - travel $ 2 for two, to Goynuk (canyon) - $ 1.5 / 7 lira for two (ask for change in lira, report to the dollar on the way back). It runs until 00.00, we did not check, the driver said. Drive 20-40 minutes.
16. Shopping. In Beldibi, we explored the road with souvenirs to the Wild Beach (old tunnel), it is better to shop in Goynuk or Kemer, more choice, more interesting bargaining. In Kemer there is Waikiki, an excellent clothing store, discounts. Accept any currency. In Goynuk, for gifts, 5 packs of 125 gr can be bought for $ 2, magnets can be bought 2 for $ 1, Turkish coffee 100 gr. - $ 1, soap 2-3 for $ 1, checkered bedding - $ 1. Ice cream 3 balls 1 $, in the market 2 pieces in chocolate with nuts for 1 $.

17. Cafes/restaurants. We had dinner in Kemer, ordered dorado (69 lira), sea bass (69 lira), beer (25 lira), at the entrance you can ask for a 10-15% discount, there are many establishments in the center near the street with shops. The portions are huge, they packed it for us, it turned out $ 33, you can find it cheaper.
18. Money. Take a card, you can pay in the store, change money through Denis Bank, a good rate. Everywhere we paid in dollars, we did not change lira. Course 1 $ - 5.6 - 5.8 lira. For understanding, make yourself a plate translated into hryvnia, rubles, it will be easier to navigate.
19. Excursions. With a hotel guide, everything is much more expensive. We asked the price, and then took excursions in several places:
1 DAY - free, trip to the wild beach near the tunnel, free of charge. As an acquaintance, you can, nothing special, no fish, rocks and a piece of pebble beach. Allocate 4 hours from the hotel for a walk (go there, you can look at souvenirs, take printouts from the excursion and, back - already book excursions)
DAY 2 - Lemira-Demre-Kekova, per person: $ 20 + $ 8 entry, require baksheesh to the driver, we did not give. Go for once. Take water with you!
DAY 3 - fishing on Black Deer Lake 2 - $ 30 / 1 person. Super! Here and wine, and delicious food (trout, barbecue), and dancing, and bathing, and very beautiful views. We caught 1 carp, but now it's hot - this is the norm. We saw crabs.
DAY 4 - rafting. Caught in the rain, check the forecast! $15 +$10 for a kayak for 2 persons (if you go together, no extra charge is needed) + $3 suit + $4 corals (bring your own). Super!
DAY 5 - yacht and foam party. $15 + $10 boat trip to Phaselis. Take water! It rained, but we broke away, there are fish, very beautiful. We made a mistake and returned to the hotel with the bus, we had to stay in Kemer, as we returned at 15.00, and we made a detour. Keep in mind.
6 DAY - free. Let's go to the canyon. Unforgettable beauty! Entrance without equipment - $ 2, trout splashing in the rivers, beautiful bays, mountains. And then we went to Goynuk.
The rest was a success, everything went super, and the hotel is a business. I wrote in detail, because I myself was looking for such a review, there were many questions. Happy trip everyone!! !
