A hotel for those who love the warm turquoise sea next to the hotel, clean coniferous air, the singing of cicadas, excellent food and the hospitality of the Turks.
I must say right away: it was not the first time that we rested in Turkey, we have been to different hotels, countries, seas and oceans, the tourist experience is 20 years. In general, there is something to compare with...
The hotel is located on a mountainside in a pine forest, cottages are located on terraces - 3 lines, all rooms have small balconies with access to the sea. From morning until evening cicadas sing, but this does not interfere at all, you get used to it and enjoy this crackling)))
The rooms are neat, without Persian carpets))), but everything you need is there - refrigerator, TV, air conditioning, hair dryer. There is no kettle or glassware in the room.
All buildings are located in the opposite part of the restaurant, bar.

The restaurant is a covered terrace with a gorgeous view of the sea, it is constantly ventilated, there are enough places. The restaurant administrator tries to immediately place vacationers, diligently clean the tables. Disposable gloves at the entrance, sanitizers in the restaurant hall, no crowding. All staff are wearing masks/gloves.
Meals - "for slaughter", there was everything: various salads, greens, fresh vegetables, grilled vegetables, olives / olives, hummus, anchovies, broccoli / cauliflower / Brussels sprouts, various side dishes, fish (dorado / sea bass / sardines / pink salmon / mackerel... ) and chicken different parts for lunch and dinner were always there, several times there was lamb and beef.
Fruits - watermelon, melon, grapes (white/blue/pink), peaches, pears, plums, apples, oranges.
There were also cakes, mousses and sweets, but I didn’t really like them.
In the afternoon - pizza, hot dogs, french fries.
Coffee break - cookies and tea / coffee in Turkish.
In the evening after dinner - ice cream.
They cook very tasty, try, always smile, communicate.
Drinks - good light beer TUBORG GOLD, dry white / red wine, local alcohol.
Beach - hotel, located across a small road, if you come early in the morning - you can take trump places - in the shade of pine trees. We were on the beach from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm - the whole day at the sea!! ! You can even take a nap))) We returned to the room only before dinner.
Entry into the sea - mixed, pebbles on the right side of the beach and sand with large stones on the left side. At the beginning, a small haze of sand, then - turquoise. There are a lot of fish swimming in the sea, we saw a turtle and a dolphin!!!
The pier is small, it does not go far into the sea, but it is enough for everyone to jump.
The pool is large, beautiful, clean, with Greek columns, sun loungers around, almost everything is in the shade. The pool has very pleasant music.
All sun beds both on the beach and near the pool with a distance of 1.5 m
In the evening - there is no "Turkish" animation, but there is light modern music, whoever wants can order their song to the DJ, who wants to dance, who wants to watch, who just relax)))
WI-FI - only at the reception and near the bar, sometimes finished off and on the beach.

The administration and staff are trying very hard, they are interested in what they like, what problems and try to eliminate them, communicate, joke.
Marmaris - minibus runs every hour from 7.00 to 23.00, price - 5 liras, mask - required! , stop right next to the hotel, drive to the city 10 minutes, the road is good. The city is small, beautiful embankment, singing fountains, in the evening you can take a walk, during the day it is very hot)))
All of the above are pluses!
Cons - there are no beach towels, you need to take your own, towels are not changed every day, they brought us a new set after 5 days, the bed was not changed during the rest, the slightly neglected area is poorly watered and therefore there is a lot of dead wood.
Draw your own conclusions. . .
There is some kind of magic in this hotel: either the sea, or the place, or the people... Everything is somehow sincere in this hotel !! ! We wanted to come there again only with a large company, although we very rarely return to the same place.
P. S. I rarely write reviews, but when I do, it's hilarious : )
