I will try to briefly, but essentially tell about the hotel. There is something to compare with, I was in Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Bulgaria in hotels of various colors.
1. Road to the hotel. Yes, it takes 3-3.5 hours for sirtantin, but it's worth it. I endured the road wonderfully, not at all tiring, even informative. These 3 hours the guide talked about Turkey, Marmaris, about excursions, so the time was not wasted.
2. Location. This is the biggest + of this hotel. Surrounded by 3 mountains on land and an island in front. You can swim there if you rent a catamaran. The views are stunning. Those who are embarrassed by the reviews about the "closed space" I can safely say - complete nonsense in my opinion. Yes, I was also worried about this, but I didn’t feel anything like that. WE went with 4.2 couples, and everyone was in awe of the view. This is truly a treasure. We went for a walk along the beach: to the right along a small market, private small hotels, at the end of the mini-marina attached to the last hotel, we thought it was a restaurant and went for a walk around the territory, no one said a word, on the contrary, everyone smiled sweetly, and to the left - abandoned boarding house (an interesting place for photos)), private houses and at the end of the walk you run into a rock. There you can swim with a mask, people even caught hedgehogs. In general, a lot can be said about the beauty of this fabulous corner, it must be seen.

3. Nutrition. Yes, this is of course a sensitive issue, but the main thing is to decide on the purpose of the trip. If a binge is an integral part, then you are probably not here. There is enough food, but I can’t say that my eyes run straight. In our company, everyone was always full, if something ended, there is something to replace. Separately, I want to note the situation with dinner (which is not available for breakfast and lunch). 15 before dinner, a huge crowd gathers near the entrance, and as soon as the doors open, everyone RUN to take their places and rake everything they see. That is, often on the tables people have not just a plate, but 10 (I'm not kidding) plates, that is, their own "mini" buffet. This, of course, upsets, but if you take it with humor, then in general it does not spoil the rest. There will still be enough food for everyone, but if you want a choice, then, willy-nilly, you will come anyway and stand with the crowd.
4. Sea. I rested from 1.08. 10 to 12.08 10. During this period, omre was fabulous. Not hot and not icy. The pleasant coolness helped to cope with the heat. Once again I will clarify that the sea was not hotter, but it was cool at first, but after 1 minute you get used to it. Just exactly what the doctor ordered: ) The water is pure until the evening.
5. Beach. On the beach you have to come to the beginning of breakfast to take places. On account of the fact that it is necessary to borrow at 6 am - nonsense. There are always places - either on the beach or near the pool. Yes, some sunbeds are broken, but if you arrive on time, you can choose good ones and this is also not a problem. Opposite the beach there is an L-shaped pontoon, which is very convenient. From it you can jump and lie down to sunbathe and sway on the waves.
6. Animation. The animation group changed on the second day of our holiday. We were lucky. At first, there was a Turk with African roots, and he spoke both Russian and English equally badly, while terribly chattering that he couldn’t make out anything. Then a group of our guys came, very funny, during the day and water aerobics, and volleyball, and exercises, and Pilates, and belly dancing, in general, for every taste. Evening show pleased every evening. very interesting. There were competitions with the involvement of the public, which was very enlivening. Many thanks to the animation team, the guys tried, well done.
7. Staff. There isn't much to say here. Everyone is friendly, no pretensions.

8. Room. We lived in a building, almost the farthest, I don’t remember the number. On the first floor. From the balcony overlooking the garden, on the right side of the neighboring building. Furniture and renovations certainly need updating. Average condition, but not deplorable. The bathroom certainly leaves a lot to be desired. Indeed, the water from the shower did not go well, which was not pleasant, but if you wash yourself quickly, the problem was not particularly felt. In general, we knew where we were going, so we were not shocked. What you paid for, you got. Again, I will say that depending on who needs what. We did not want to overpay twice as long as we had a super-duper repair. Those quite acceptable conditions did not bother us. Paying extra $ 100 per night at the reception, you can move to a room with an excellent repair. We wanted to, but changed our minds, decided to spend this money on excursions and souvenirs, which we did not regret. They clean well and tip and without, sometimes they forgot to leave. The only thing I didn’t like was that in the middle of our vacation it started to drip from the ceiling, at first a little bit, but on the last day it started to pour down. We complained at the reception, they said that everything will be fixed. We come to the room - yes, they fixed it, but at the same time the ceiling is CROWNED and lies on the floor, everything is in pieces of upholstery, we are shocked, complained to the reception again, the boy came to clean it and tearfully asked me not to take pictures, but I still quietly did it made (photos attached). Removed and everything is ok. With this story, I do not want to turn away future vacationers, but simply show that even despite such a curiosity, we liked the rest and everything can be resolved in a civilized manner.
Conclusions: in general, the hotel is wonderful, solid 4. Yes, there is something to complain about and how to spoil your mood. But it can be done everywhere. The main thing is a good mood and company. I would go there again. There are more pros than cons. When you get there, in this nature, everything else will seem so insignificant to you, that's for sure)
