It all started with the fact that at work they were almost forcibly sent on vacation at the wrong time. The end of May, it's cold in Moscow, vacation 7 days, we decided to go to Turkey. Last year we were there from May 10, I had a rough idea of ​ ​ what to expect. But what happened exceeded all my expectations. Tour bought in a week. Departure from Moscow, NordWind Airlines, meeting party Pegasus. Reviews about both of them, to be honest, are not very flattering. But there is nowhere to go.
May 25th. Sheremetyevo, terminal S. Few people. They invite you to board. An 18-year-old young lady actively and defiantly chewing gum and the same kind of young man with unwashed hair tear off boarding passes. Bad guys, okay. We get on the plane. Airbus 310. New interior, leather seats, everything is clean, flight attendants with a doll-like appearance are smiling, the excitement has subsided. Departure on schedule, food on board is scarce and not tasty, landing is soft. The air carrier left pleasant memories.
Overboard 8 in the morning and plus 25. We loaded onto the bus and after 15 minutes we had already left (the bus was small). And here we are at the hotel. Recently, it has been very difficult for me to come to an unfamiliar hotel, I do not feel comfortable and constantly compare with something. And what a pleasure it was to get to know each other! At the reception, a Russian-speaking girl sent for breakfast, warning that there were 5 minutes left until the end. We are alone in the restaurant, the tables with food are not cleared, the food is present. We had a hearty breakfast, everything was fresh and edible. After breakfast we were seated immediately. Standard room, overlooking the courtyard and side sea view. While everyone likes it, the staff is friendly, everyone is smiling, faces are not tortured. That's the charm of the beginning of the season.

We walked around the hotel, found a fitness room, an indoor pool, went out of the territory, there were no tourists, only sellers. Everything you need, including a pharmacy, groceries, souvenirs, clothes, within walking distance.
Lunch time. The food is delicious, fresh, there are enough glasses, cutlery, the waiters manage to do everything - bring drinks and remove plates.
The beach is comfortable, sand, the entrance to the sea is pebbles. The beach was prepared in front of us, awnings were pulled up. We come from the beach, in the room there is a plate with watermelon and cutlery. Very dramatic.
Dinner is edible, the waiters are helpful, there are few vacationers. There is a diet table for both lunch and dinner.
In the evening we went to the lobby bar where, among other things, Turkish coffee is brewed. There is no European (espresso) coffee. Let's go to bed, the day is over. All evening entertainment later.
The next evening we go to a fish restaurant (a la carte). Hairstyle, makeup, heels, good evening, what will please you? And here is such a yummy! For a starter, tender salmon, mushrooms, shrimp, squid, a hot choice of sea bream or trout, for dessert ice cream and a plate of strawberries (very sweet), my husband drank cognac, I white wine. The service was friendly and fast, we didn't want to leave.
On the third day at the hotel, I characterized him. KIND! Everyone is kind here - waiters (always a smile, pleasant words of greeting), animators (I was waiting for you, why didn’t you come to bochu / yoga / aerobics - very touching), cook (today is very tasty soup), bartenders (add lemon to water? ). At our request, they changed the schedule of the indoor pool and fitness center. Now it starts at 8-00 and I have time to swim before breakfast.
Closer to May Day, the hotel is filled with compatriots. There are many kids, in my opinion they will be comfortable here. The hotel is completely focused on Russian speakers, the animation is only in Russian, the guys are trying very hard, they are worn all day long, tourists are entertained. And they will dance and sing a song and calm down the drunk. Well done guys, everyone is like a selection of sports, strong, young, cheerful.

We visited a Chinese restaurant. Delicious. Recommend. Meat, shrimp, fried bananas and ice cream for dessert.
April 29-30 big arrival of tourists. The assortment of dishes in the main restaurant is changing for the better. As for food: everything is edible, meat, chicken for lunch and dinner is always, fish, in my opinion, is not very good. I give an assessment very carefully so as not to offend anyone, this is my taste.
I advise you not to ignore Olga on the quest relation. Most of the questions were solved in one-two-three. A very responsive girl. How does she do it? Always a smile and good mood.
As for drinks in bars. In the snack bar, the assortment is worse, but the bartender is better, darling, always with a smile, and with an unforced one. Lobby bar. Drinks are on the level, cocktails are decorated, waiters are loaded, drinks are confused, but they try very hard. Coffee is only here. Bar near the pool. They have a lot of work, I tried not to contact them.
I liked the gym, my husband did not. The hall is small, but everything you need is there. Three treadmills (new), an ellipse and all the necessary simulators (not new, but simply outdated) are available. The indoor pool is comfortable, but only one changing cabin, which is also a shower.
All problems were resolved through negotiations and very quickly, only one issue, in my opinion, could not be resolved (I wrote about this in my wishes to the hotel) - an insufficient number of toilets on the hotel premises.
The rest left only positive emotions, I would also like to thank those about whom I did not write above and sum up. Reception - a warm welcome, prompt accommodation, a porter - following us, a smile, words of welcome. Waiters - five for speed and hospitality. Bartenders do their job with pleasure, always ready to serve, cleaning in the room is good, imperceptible to us (in the sense of the presence of an employee). Thanks to the guest service, animators, chefs and all the staff, you will remain in my memory as one friendly team working for the benefit of us tourists.

And finally, when we, satisfied with the rest, went to the last dinner, another surprise awaited us. We could not believe it, but the flight was postponed for 6 (SIX) hours, and instead of seven in the morning, we left the hotel at 12-00. Here is a gift we were presented with a tour operator or an air carrier (I don’t know).
