We traveled with my family - two children aged 6 and 9. I liked the hotel, you can find fault, of course, but if you are not picky, everything will be fine - enjoy your vacation. In more detail - for everyone who does not like physical activity in the form of climbing mountains after a hearty dinner - you definitely do not come here : ) The hotel is really located very interestingly, on the mountain - with terraces. Descent to the sea - also on the stairs, for the lazy - there is a transfer in the form of a shuttle. We lived in a bungalow (villa), a two-room suite (firstly, it is cheaper, and secondly, the disco is not as heard there as in the main hotel - this is for lovers of relaxation and families with children). The room, to be honest, on a solid 3, but we did not find fault - worn hinges on the doors and old wooden frames did not bother us. And the service is OK - towels were changed every day, the lock in the bathroom was fixed. And the rest - we only changed clothes and slept in the room. The territory of the hotel is green and beautiful, the gardeners take care of it very carefully (they always cleaned and trimmed something).
The contingent of the hotel - 95% Europeans (Romanians and the rest : ), 5% - our current and former fellow citizens (Russians, Belarusians, Kazakhstanis) - so judge for yourself who likes it. Animation, accordingly, is designed for Europeans (the program is conducted in English), but this did not bother us and the children (children's animation is also in English). The animators are trying their best to have fun. There are two Russian girls in the animation, one of them is a choreographer.
The food is varied, but also designed for Europeans (you will not be offered cabbage soup and borscht, mainly salads and main dishes), there were enough different grilled fish and poultry, fruits and vegetables were also enough, and even more desserts. In addition to the main restaurant (breakfast, lunch, dinner), there are cafes and bars by the pool and on the beach, there are always drinks and fast food (hamburgers, fries, etc. ) So - eat and drink - I don’t want to. The only but - there are no natural juices, only drinks (as, by the way, probably everywhere in Turkey), so if you or your children suffer from allergies, it is better to drink water. For example, we bought juices for children in a supermarket in Kusadasi.

The climate is wonderful, it was 30-35, with a breeze, well tolerated. And the nights are cold. The sea is warm and very salty. The only negative is the entrance to the sea - a platform, it is inconvenient for children, but they were sitting more in the pool.
Separately, about the surroundings - if you are not a fan of "eggplant" rest, then you are definitely here. In the vicinity there are a lot of historical sites and ancient Greek ruins (Ephesus, the Temple of Artemis, etc. ), the beautiful Milli Park is a national park with unforgettable nature, the clearest sea, wild boars run : ), to Pamukalle - 250 km. (closest compared to other resorts). For children and adrenaline lovers - the hotel is located between two large water parks (10 min. Walk), one of them - Adaland - the largest water park in Europe (we recommend, but Sea Park is there - wasted money : (), in the dolphinarium - you can go with the kids if you want to see the dolphins).
Special thanks to guest relation Anna - for help and advice on the surroundings, and in general for pleasant communication : ) (for all Russian speakers : )
