Good day everyone! We returned a week ago from a holiday in this hotel - we were very satisfied! We expected the worst, but for its price ($460 for two for 6 days (! ) / 7 nights), the hotel exceeded expectations.
Naturally, they are not 5 *, on their old brochures the 5 star is depicted by them very small, and so are real Turkish 4 *, or normal 3 + *, IMHO.
The hotel is clean, the room was clean and renovated, the bathroom too, except for the shower itself - old, covered with sealant and moldy. Everything else is normal. Cleaning every day at will (refused - you need to hang a sign), change of linen every three days. Every day new shampoos / gels - of unknown origin, and soap - with the symbols of the hotel. Towels were for washing and bathing + one for two for legs. There were no bathrobes/slippers.
Beach towels on cards, issued in the SPA (on the -1 floor), replacement every day from 8:30 to 11:00 in the same place.

Food on a solid 4, good, every day meat dishes, mostly chicken. Every day there was fish, on the day of arrival for dinner, even red fried. Salads are unpretentious, but the choice of dishes is large (see photo), delicious cakes and grilled dishes. Interesting soups. Lots of cheeses, mostly salty. One day they noticed that one of the cheeses began to stink... Apparently they regretted throwing it away and the next day they made a salad out of it, which stank for 3 meters, naturally they did not take it. With the exception of this unpleasant incident, everything seemed to be fresh and tasty. Desserts are very amateurish, pickles, as for me, are inedible, and what else was expected from them.
Drinks: soft drinks are good, juices are C grade (half is apparently powdered), beer is edible, strong alcohol is only in cocktails, and then if you don’t get carried away, well, what to expect from local producers, in a Muslim country, where the culture of alcohol had nowhere to come from... But I saw that some "omnivores" and in their pure form go well, although they often never reached the beach, and after spending all the time at the bar in the lobby)) There are four bars: in the lobby ( all the time), in the dining room (during lunch and dinner), by the pool (during the day, including ice cream from 12:00 to 13:00) and on the beach (only without and low alcohol).
Wi-fi $ 7 for 7 days, sauna / hammam / steam room from 9:00 to 19:00 - "free" (already included in the price of the tour).
Bottled water without gas every day for free.
Pebble beach, comfortable in slippers for swimming. The bottom of the first three meters is pebbles, further at a depth of sand. There is nothing to watch with a mask and fins ((The water is clean and clear. Trestle beds/umbrellas are free.
In general, we were satisfied with the hotel! If you don’t expect European 5* for its price and kisses for . . from the staff, but be aware of where you are going and at what price (even if it seems huge to you, explore the market before that), then you will undoubtedly enjoy from rest. And if you still look (and smell) what you are going to eat, then there will be no unpleasant surprises either; ) I wish you a pleasant stay!! !
