There were three adults and a 10 year old child. They planned to fly to Egypt, but because of the fuss with the tests, they chose Turkey. We arrived at 7 am, until we got to the hotel with check-ins in others, while filling out the questionnaires, we got to the room at about 12 noon. They settled in right away. We booked a two-room family room with two bathrooms overlooking the garden, but they gave us a two-room suite with one bathroom, but a view of the territory and the sea 2501. At first we wanted to change, looked at several options and realized that we had the best one. So advice: take the rooms in the building on the right, if you are facing the sea. Under the left building is the main restaurant: the smell from the grill zone, noise and din are guaranteed. The room itself is simple and even outdated, needs renovation for a long time, but the furniture in the room is clean, whole without chips. The bed linen is white and the same towels and bathrobes. Surprised that the shampoo and soap dispensers in the bathroom, but surprisingly good quality. Shower caps discs and cotton buds, disposable masks and disinfectants are available. Additionally, you can take on request a razor and gel, as well as a toothbrush and paste.
The territory of the hotel is small, but beautiful with fountains, a nice pool near which animation takes place all day long.
The sea is clean, especially in the early morning when there is calm and there are no people. The beach is wide. But there is one big downside here. The sunbeds are not only occupied in the morning, they are busy around the clock. They will come, they will throw towels, they will put beauty with a stone, then they will take a couple more sunbeds near the pool and generally buzz. You go, everywhere is empty, but there is nowhere to lie down. Here, if the administration had followed, and removed the towels a couple of times and imposed a fine, then there would not have been such lawlessness.

The food is excellent, the choice of meat and fish dishes may not be so great, but everything is cooked deliciously. Almost every day there are new dishes on the grill that were not there before. The guys in the restaurants are responsive and friendly, they try and fuss, although wearing masks all day in the heat is still a pleasure. We were at the a la carte fish restaurant. Once every 7 days, one visit is free, but the queue for registration must be taken from the morning itself, since the registration goes from 8:30 in the morning to the day, and there are only up to 40 seats. Everything is very tasty. They serve cold fish appetizers, then crayfish, then fried shrimp and squid rings with sauce, then fish to choose from baked trout with cheese or dorado, they took both, delicious. At the end, fruits: pineapple, strawberries, melon, watermelon, and pumpkin soaked in sugar syrup with nuts - delicious, but very sweet. We have not been to the European restaurant.
The drinks in the bars are not bad. Coffee, cappuccino, moccaccino, martini, Baileys in the lobby and very worthy alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails were prepared by Ilmaz at the pool bar. Thanks to him.
Animation at a very high level. Personally, I never had a desire to participate in such events, as everything was sluggish and boring, but here it is a completely different matter. Even my shy daughter, and the one for whom I chose a hotel with a water park, ran to the pool for animation. At the evening animation, the large amphitheater was always full and this is saying something. People do not need to be caught by the hand to participate in competitions, they go on their own.
We took a tour of the Turkish Maldives. Those who love and know how to swim will love it. We went by bus to the ancient city of Phaselis.
In general, I liked the hotel if you do not look for flaws and do not find fault with trifles, behave with dignity, then the rest will be a success. I don’t argue, maybe there are better hotels for such a day, but we don’t have much travel experience and we haven’t traveled to Rixos yet.
