In Turkey for the first time, I always rested in Europe, but after reading a bunch of reviews about this country, and a child (8 years old) had been asking for a long time, I decided to go.
The hotel was chosen according to the principle: "so that everything is there. " That is, a pool - for both an adult and a child, entertainment for a child, food and drinks, and most importantly - cleanliness. Everything was in stock and even turned out better than I expected. Now for the points.
The location of the hotel. How and where the hotel is located can be read in any booklet. Therefore, I will say what was written between the lines. From the airport to the hotel the road is 40-45 minutes (depending on what and how to go! ). If individually by taxi, then there are no questions, but if by bus with tourists, which takes everyone to hotels, then you can get 1-2 hours, if by local transport (which I strongly advise against), then similarly, you will stop twenty times.

Of course, it is located right on the seashore, but the coast is steep, 3 meters deep starts one meter from the coast. The bottom is rocky, sand is artificially poured on the beach, but to enter the sea you will have to buy special rubber slippers (in the city they cost 2 times cheaper than in the hotel itself). By the way, everything in the hotel is much more expensive than in the city (both souvenirs, and clothes, and hairstyles, and massages, etc. ).
Sanitary standards. The worst thing I feared in Turkey was food and water poisoning. In this hotel, hygiene standards were respected, I can’t say that by 5, but by 4 points for sure. Rooms are clean, public areas are clean, hotel grounds are very clean. The water in the pools is also clean.
Food. In Turkey, pork is not eaten - and this pleases. From meat: lamb (even kebabs), chicken and turkey, as well as fish. Lots of vegetable dishes and lots of pastries and sweets. The food is always fresh, in any case, at dinner I did not meet dishes from the dinner table. Bottled water. A small minus is that the restaurant has a huge number of people, which is a bit like a Soviet canteen.
However, there are 4 restaurants (a’la karte) with a so-called individual approach. You can eat around the clock, if you overslept breakfast or dinner, you won’t stay hungry anyway. Drinks: juices, water, cocktails at every turn at any time of the day in unlimited quantities.
Entertainment. For children - a kids club, where they can stay from 10.00 to 21.00 without extra charge. There, young people (mostly Russian-speaking girls) entertain children all day. My daughter didn’t go there because she didn’t want to leave the pool even for a minute, I heard from some parents that their children “rushed” there and didn’t want to return. For adults - contests and jokes during the day, shows and discos in the evening. It was fun. All amenities are provided for families with children.

Number. Lived in a standard, double. TV, telephone, mini bar with any drinks, including alcoholic drinks, safe. The rooms are comfortable and very basic. The plumbing is new, the bathroom is large and comfortable. There were occasional drops in shower water temperature, but mostly only during "peak" hours and very minor. The rooms were cleaned every day, although the towels were changed only after the dollar was left for the maid, but this is understandable, you should not forget about them either, despite the fact that the service is free everywhere.
Service and staff. The staff is mostly good-natured, and not hurried in the east. If the Turks think that you treat them well, then all problems are solved very quickly. Tips are not asked for, but they do not refuse and take with pleasure, but in general that friendliness and a friendly smile had the same effect as a tip.
Summing up, I’ll say that for the price we paid for staying at this hotel, in a European country you could only count on a three-star, so in my opinion the price and quality here corresponded. And if you have high requirements, then it is better to consider other options, which will undoubtedly be more expensive. But most importantly, take with you a good mood and a benevolent attitude towards the owners, who for the most part understand the benefits of the development of Russian tourism.
