We stayed in this hotel for 2 weeks with a 3 year old. In general, the holiday was a success, but there were some moments that I did not like at all. I'll tell you about everything in order.
NUMBERS. We had paid for a Superior room, but upon check-in it turned out that this class of rooms is located in the most remote and inconveniently located buildings, if you want a good building, take a Superior Delux room, in a heat of 45 degrees, I didn’t really like the prospect of walking so far to the main building and back , we paid the difference 260 USD and moved to Delux. The rooms are exactly the same, although the deluxe still has an electric kettle, the only difference is in the location of the building (block), we lived at 29, it is closest to the sea. There are no rooms overlooking the sea, they all overlook the garden, so the rooms are darkish, even during the day you had to turn on the light. The rooms themselves are spacious, with a fresh renovation and a good finish, the bathroom is also excellent, I liked everything here.
TERRITORY. The buildings are located in a park of pines and palm trees, entwined with ivy and wild grapes, very beautiful!!! ! Closer to the sea, grass, flowering shrubs, flowers, the whole territory is very well-groomed, thoughtful, in general, a piece of paradise! I really liked the lobby, and all the restaurants, bars and recreation areas were very cozy and pretty. Photos of the hotel are true, I would even say that in reality it is even more beautiful!

NUTRITION. Here is a complete failure. When we chose the hotel, we read rave reviews about excellent food, but the reality was very disappointing! The breakfasts are very weak, first you had to run to the dining room to get a table, there were not enough tables in the air-conditioned room, and it was unbearable to sit in the mad sun in the morning and afternoon. Then it was necessary to stand in line for 15-20 minutes for an omelet, the same amount for juice, and pancakes. You go into the dining room in the morning - it's empty and all the tables are occupied - where is everyone? - they stand in lines for food. There was milk porridge - powdered milk with rice soaked there (they didn’t know how to cook it) or oatmeal, with oats back and forth, but rice porridge - I wanted to invite the cook and make him eat a portion of that porridge! Yoghurts were local (hotel) production, with a characteristic "Turkish" taste, that is, there was nothing to feed the child in the morning. For Turkish children, parents crumbled olives, local cheese and bread into plates, European children, as usual, on fried potatoes with ketchup, and it was hard for our kids, especially the little ones. So moms, take everything with you if possible, mixtures, cereals, otherwise the child will become emaciated. There were still unnaturally raspberry-colored sausages and cold cuts - they didn’t give us anything more from meat in the morning for 2 weeks - but it was impossible to eat them, horror! Lunches are slightly better than breakfasts, but the food is not tasty, only grilled dishes were edible, but the meat was often "rubber". Dinners were better than lunches, once a week there were shrimp and red fish, a lot of meat, but everything was somehow not very tasty cooked. The cook wanted to be beaten. Snack bars are also very poor and bad. In principle, it was possible for adults to find food, but it was difficult for children.
ANIMATION. The animation in the hotel is excellent, you will not be bored. In the evenings, performances, after them night discos and party. The kids club is quite decent, but there are a lot of children there and of course there is no individual approach. This is compensated by a large number of toys, there is a trampoline (though it was in the sun and the surface was so hot that it was hot to touch, let alone jump), there is a playground and cars. A hobby center worked for adults during the day (silk painting, batik, Murano glass)
BEACH. Near the pool, the places were probably sorted out from 7 o’clock, everything was packed there and there were never any places by 9 in the morning, the pools themselves are very beautiful, cascading, there are 2 slides, a larger one and a small one. There have always been places near the sea. The beach is pebbly, it is very difficult to enter the water. The next day, we ran in search of special slippers, since they are sold in shops immediately upon leaving the hotel for an average of $ 15 per pair. The sea is clean, warm, but after lunch, the current begins to nail all kinds of garbage, candy wrappers and papers : -(
PEOPLE. There are a lot of people, as for me, in addition to food, this is another drawback of the hotel. Queues everywhere. The bulk of vacationers are Russian speakers, many Turks and Czechs, a few are the rest of the Europeans. These are mostly families with children, but we also saw a lot of young people.
In general, decide for yourself whether you go there or not. We are unlikely to go there again for this money.
