I'll start with the main thing - this hotel is really not for tourists who do not speak English (which adds a lot of advantages to the hotel). But we are modern people and it’s not a problem to learn it. Knowing the language allows you to communicate with tourists from different countries (the geography is very extensive), you can go on excursions to Ephesus, to the house of the Virgin Mary, Mili Park, not buying them from a hotel guide, but buying them outside the hotel, as we did. Well, okay, to each his own.
Impressions from the rest are only positive, I will start, like all my reviews, with the settlement.
So: We arrived at the hotel somewhere around 11-30, were the only tourists, settled us right away, the room was huge, a gorgeous view of the sea (maybe because the 4th floor? ). The cleaning of the room really left much to be desired, nor $ 1 or its absence does not affect the quality, but everything you need was replenished every day.

Climate - there is no such humidity as in Antalya, and in the evenings there is a breeze in general.
The beach is super! The sea is clean, beautiful with fish, crabs and octopuses. True, we rested on the terrace near the beach bar and went into the sea along the steps there, but a couple of times we went in from the shore - beautiful dense sand. We liked the beach, but the umbrellas are small, which did not create the necessary shade, but the umbrellas on the terrace are large, you could stay there all day, so the choice was made in favor of the terrace.
Food: the most important thing is high-quality and tasty! There is no such variety as on the Antalya coast, but there is plenty of everything! Fish, meat, poultry, greens, vegetables, fruits, sweets, side dishes, soups, sauces... and, well, I don’t know We don't cook that much at home!
Animation: we didn’t go, as we were during Euro 2012, we were fascinated by football in the evenings and during his absence, talking to people while sitting in a bar. By the way, due to the lack of a huge number of tourists from the countries of the former USSR, there there are no lines at all in bars and restaurants, rudeness and, sorry, drunken creatures.
We plunged into the pool once (for the sake of interest, the water is very warm), having arrived at the sea, I don’t really want to swim in bleach (although I didn’t feel it). But the places by the pool really take up from 7 in the morning
Service at the hotel is at its best, bartenders, waiters are very good-natured, friendly people. Smile and people will reach out to you!
I never advise anyone, we left the country of the Soviets a long time ago, but I will deviate from the rules. I recommend this hotel for people who appreciate comfort, coziness, who can appreciate the care of the hotel staff for you, about your vacation, who can appreciate the not very large number of small children, the absence of an unbearable ora of insane mothers and always sitting drunk dads with beer in a bar (which is the norm for Antalya with its districts, Alanya, etc. )

For me personally, this is a rare case when I want to go back there again (although I never go to the same hotel twice).
Have a good holiday everyone!
