Hello!
I just returned from a trip yesterday - I cried both on the bus and on the plane when I left - I liked it so much and didn’t want to return!
I want to share with you my impressions of the hotel and the trip - I hope they will be useful to someone!
My mother and I went from Anex Tour for 6.000, which fully justified themselves. We wanted a quiet hotel on the first line, so that it would be convenient to go on excursions - and so it happened.
Our flight was unsuccessful and we arrived in the evening, and arrived at the hotel 30 minutes before the end of dinner.
We were met, put on bracelets and immediately sent to eat. Hungry, tired, we didn’t immediately figure out what was what and we didn’t really like it, but after that we radically changed our minds.
The hotel is like a botanical garden - palm trees everywhere, flowers - like in a shady park - very good - not hot.
The buildings are small - 3 floors, each floor has 2 rooms - 6 rooms in total.

A staircase leads to the rooms, which is illuminated at will - you want to go in the dark, but you want to press a button and turn on the light. We lived on the 3rd floor.
The hulls are also green - twined with wild grapes.
The rooms are very simple - but we are not going to live in a hotel, but to swim, sunbathe and go on excursions.
The room has 2 beds, 2 bedside tables, a closet, a mirror, a large bedside table, a table, 2 chairs, a hair dryer, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a safe for a fee and each room has a balcony with 2 chairs. There is no drinking water in the rooms - you can collect it in your own bottles in coolers in the restaurant and in the bar. Modest, neat, spacious enough.
The only negative of both the hotel and the room is cleaning and lazy cleaners. They cleaned every day, but did not add soap and shampoos, did not always change towels. But the suggestions from the authorities had a result, and everything became normal.
As I already wrote - the territory is very green, but not big.
Between buildings you walk along winding alleys, lizards run under your feet, butterflies fly. It is not necessary to walk through the reception - you can get around it from one side or the other.
The restaurant has 2 parts - you can sit inside or outside. It's nicer outside, of course.
All food is inside.
Breakfast - the usual - yogurt, muesli, porridge, pancakes, eggs, omelettes, vegetables ...
Lunch - always soup, greens, salads, fruits, 2 types of side dishes, 4 types of hot, sweets - both oriental and European, fruits - watermelon, peaches, apples, grapes, tea, coffee, juices, water.
Dinner - they fry something on the street, and everything else is the same as at lunch - soup, the second ...
Delicious soups, rice, eggplant, stewed vegetables, baklava, lots of greens.
2 times a month there is a Turkish night - national dishes, a lot of sweets, very tasty meat with vegetables, chicken. Holiday!
And the wine is not good. But we didn't drink it.
And the waiters are amazing!
They will always help, respond, bring the children a special chair, answer any questions. They are very attentive to everyone, they treat children well.

There is also a bar that is open from 10 to 23. The bartender is also very nice - he always remembers who drinks what - big juice without ice or cola. Juices, tea, coffee, vodka, brandy, gin, tonic, lemonades are free in the bar, and cocktails are paid.
Between lunch and dinner there are also snacks - national snacks and at 17 o'clock - coffee with muffins - it's so great to drink coffee under a palm tree! Miracle!
There are 2 swimming pools - for children and adults, a slide, a small playground, a sauna, massage, a hookah bar on the seashore.
There is where to sit, relax, if it's hot, but you don't want to be in the room.
The beach is small, pebbly, clean - cleaned every day. There were enough beds for everyone. Towels are given on a deposit - $ 5 a towel, and at the end you hand over a towel - you return the money. You can change every day.
The sea is clean, warm, the sunset is gradual.
I don't want to get out!
The hotel is next to the mountain - nice view.
There is also animation - but we did not use it - volleyball, aqua aerobics, water polo, disco for kids, something for adults. Several animators. I really didn't like one - Artem - somehow kicked us out of our sunbeds, as he decided to play some kind of ball game in our place.
I didn’t like the masseur either - he pestered everyone with his massage - if you don’t want anything - say so firmly and immediately - he won’t pester anymore.
From the hotel there are water attractions - cheesecakes, bananas and so on. Only Vitaliy, the "banana man", gathers groups very inactively - they didn't manage to ride a banana.
If you have a hotel guide Nariman - torture him very carefully - once he mixed up the time by 30 minutes - we had to wait and does not tell anything about the hotel. Be aware - you can ask for lunch packages at the hotel - they didn't tell us anything about it, we found out only at the end.
And all the rest are wonderful!
When we said goodbye, everyone wished to have a good rest, it was very pleasant.

Across the road from the hotel - shops - the prices are the cheapest - checked and compared. Turkish delight - a box of 1 dollar, and next to it there is a shop with plates and HandMade bags - bargain - get good discounts. We bought plates, a bag and magnets.


I really want to come back! I miss you all crazy!

Now I want to talk about excursions.
I immediately visited the hammam - not the one in the hotel, but Babel Palace, but you can also in the hotel - it will be cheaper by $ 15. I was just stupid, because I still didn’t really understand what was happening. I liked it - a beautiful palace, you feel like in a harem in a bath)) The only thing - be careful - first they offer juice, you drink it, and then it turns out to be paid - 5 dollars.
Compared prices today.

I wish you all a good holiday!
I will answer your questions!
