Overall impression: everything is great!
We rested as a family (daughter 10 years old) from 09/11/10 to 09/24/10 (tour operator Coral). We arrived at a good time, around 14:00, the settlement had just begun. We were immediately told that for $20 they had a great room, which indeed it turned out to be (2nd floor, overlooking the pool, in the very corner of the hotel, which turned out to be a huge plus, because the sun did not penetrate there and it was always cool) . The room is clean, bright, the room is 34 meters, the bathroom is spacious and without any leaks). The air conditioning worked well, sometimes they didn't even use it.
NUTRITION. I don't know about the others. . . (although I read a bunch of negative reviews here), but we personally liked it. Breakfasts: scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, buns fried in an egg, breakfast cereals, vegetables, cheeses, local sausages and sausages (so-so) and all sorts of other dishes unknown to us. Basically, you won't go hungry. For lunch and dinner, there are also a lot of different dishes, including mashed soups (I liked lentil soup and chicken with noodles). I don’t know what kind of cuisine some tourists are waiting for, but personally we saw meat products every day: chicken, turkey, fish, lamb cutlets and once there was beef. The chicken was in its different versions: fried drumsticks in cheese sauce, chicken skewers, chicken breasts and a turkey on the grill, chicken breasts stewed in sauce, we didn’t eat fish, because we didn’t like it, the cutlets were delicious, though only 3 times, and beef 1 time grilled (not very tasty). Maybe we came to the beginning of lunch and dinner, but we always got everything and I can’t say that at least once we were left hungry. To all this, there are a lot of vegetables, both in salads and in their usual form. I have never seen them stale or sour. Yes, I agree that there were ridiculous dishes, with a sour taste and very spicy, but these are their local sauces, and not at all mayonnaise, as we are used to. Therefore, such dishes should be eaten with caution. Fruits: apples, plums, grapes, melon, watermelon (I didn’t pay much attention to them, they ate only watermelons - delicious. Drinks: everything is fine, except for juices (but this is in any hotel - dry powders diluted with water), but I haven’t tried wine, because I don’t drink it. White coffee, black coffee, various teas, hot chocolate (in the lobby), cola, sprite, fanta, ayran, alcoholic cocktails and local raki, whiskey ", beer... All this was a lot and you could find it without any problems. The queues caught only a couple of times. But it was not annoying to stand for 5 minutes, at the same time you look closely at the people who rest with you. I heard that in some hotel they also gave shrimp and mussels. . . But they didn't see the same, as many say, bored chicken. . . But forgive me, of course, but personally I can't look at mussels, let alone eat them, so it's a matter of taste In general, we really liked the food. Again, a plus for the girls: you won’t get better during a short vacation. )))) For the category of men who eat immensely. . . well. . . the choice is yours. Restaurant around the corner. But personally, my husband and friends, including those who came after us, were satisfied. Well, again, I will add to those who are not satisfied with the food: Do you also arrange a buffet at home ? ? And you also have about 30 dishes to choose from?

STAFF AND SERVICE. The staff does not speak Russian well. But he managed to explain everything that was necessary. Separately, I would like to note the bartender Denis at the pool bar, the chef at the restaurant and the girl in the spa, here they are well explained in Russian. Housekeeping for 5. Every day they left a tip of 1-2 dollars (forgotten a couple of times). On the first day, we were made a swan out of a towel, which did not surprise us at all. In response, my husband and I did the same, only from a waffle sheet. Huge and with a crooked nose. We left this monster on the bed and went to the beach. Upon our return, our "swan" was found safe and sound, only it was sprinkled with flowers. ))) We did not make more swans. ))) Every day we were put water in the refrigerator (a bottle for each), then they didn’t charge us for this (although the site says that water is free only on the day of arrival).
TERRITORY. I agree with other tourists that it is practically non-existent here. But personally for us it was rather a plus than a minus. Everything is nearby, everything is visible and you always know where what is happening. In any case, I would not walk around the hotel and sit on the benches either. To do this, it is enough to go outside the territory and take a walk, at the same time look at the people. And you can sit in this small area. In bars there is always a place for this, both on the street and in the lobby. In extreme cases, if you really want to land yourself somewhere, then in the absence of empty seats, you can sit by the pool on a sun lounger. ))) Although this was not necessary. The vegetation is still young, but in the future it will grow and everything will be beautiful.
BEACH. To the beach 100 meters, no more. It is enough to pass one small hotelchik and shop. 2-3 minutes walk. The sea - mmmmm! Words cannot describe! It’s hard to enter, but after taking a step or two, you can safely swim and here already legs are not needed as a means of walking. The beach itself is basically normal, relatively clean. Of course, there are gobies that we ourselves forget to clean up after ourselves. There is no poop, no garbage either, so let's close our eyes to the bulls.
There are places to go in the area. There are many shops and cafes too. In fact, we never went. Enough food in the hotel.
We went on excursions. I liked the ascent to Tahtali (very beautiful) and Mira-Kekova. I also recommend for families with children (preferably from 6 years old) to swim on a pirate yacht. There is a very strong animation, all the children, and adults too, were satisfied.
In general, I recommend this hotel for a relaxing holiday.
