In general, the holiday went well. Although they say that if this is the first trip, you will definitely like it (it was our honeymoon), but not everything was as smooth as we wanted). I will write separately what I liked and what I did not.
Liked: 1. The first coastline - the beach is nearby, the water is super! Night swims are awesome. 2. Clean in the hotel. 3. Large pool. 4. Turkish bath - I recommend it to absolutely everyone! (only, if you take the service directly at the hotel - $ 25, and if the representatives of Turtess - $ 35 (do not lose money, everything is the same. Unfortunately, we found out about this later)). 5. The city is nearby, absolutely everything can be bought in a supermarket (many times cheaper than in a hotel and from local shops). Walk to the supermarket for 20 minutes - do not be lazy - save money. 6. Very picturesque landscape. Air is light. The scorching sun is not so felt.
Dislikes: 1. Almost all the staff at the hotel refuse to speak Russian. It is important to have an English vocabulary (fortunately, we had no problems with this). 2. There is sooo much food, but almost all of it is stupid - i. e. it has practically no taste or has a specific, understandable to the Turks)). Bread products - you will lick your fingers, good soups, a selectively interesting dessert. Everything else is an amateur. For a week of stay, they gave us chicken (on the grill) 1 time, and we ate burnt legs and wings with great pleasure : ) (although at home we would have turned our noses). 2. Weak animation - in the evening there is almost nothing to do in the hotel. 3. Tiny rooms of standard class (and in most cases, your travel agencies check this particular type of room. Except for special requests). If you are lucky and the "kind" administrator will put you in a room overlooking the hotel courtyard or at least the city, then you are lucky! Despite the fact that our card was labeled "newlyweds" - we were settled with a view from the window of a neighboring hotel. I could easily see the faces of our neighbors))) 4. There is something like "classification by nationality". Example - my husband is the first in line at the bar for cocktails, the Turk is behind him, the third is the German. The bartender, without explanation, first serves the German, then the Turk, and then my husband. Of course, there were precedents when you understand why (a couple of Ukrainians didn’t turn sour until the night and behaved, to put it mildly, inappropriately), but we were always polite and anyway... 5. We lived on the 2nd floor, new friends of Belarusians - on the 3rd - we were cleaned every two days and frankly the cleaning lady was messing around, once a week she laid out something interesting from bed linen and towels (it was already a bow : )), although we left her a dollar. And our friends had cleaning every day, high-quality and constant creativity with linen (no one gave her a tip). 6. Our guide Nurai (representative of Turtess at the hotel) turned out to be unscrupulous - he didn’t help as much as they asked for anything, but in the situation with the excursion - there are no words at all! Although he was so pleasant and polite, but it was only an appearance.

In principle, that's all, you need to go. Rest is great! But it is IMPORTANT to know - 1) if you are traveling for the first time and you also have sensitive or fair skin - in no case go out into the sun without a protective cream! I went through 4 days with a rash - an allergy and sunburn lay in spots. 2) If you have poor tolerance for long and tiring trips - do not take the tours of the World of Kekovo and other long ones. Serpentine road and very good. difficult to understand - but the guide will not warn you about this, and if you feel bad on the road - these are your problems and Turtess will not return a penny to you (the excursion that we lost cost $ 100, and Turtess tactfully froze, although they misinformed us in advance).
