When going to this hotel, you need to understand that you will not find special service in it, it has no territory at all, but it is located right on the shore of the beautiful bay of the village of Icmeler, where there are many opportunities to have a great time outside the hotel.
The hotel has its pros and cons. On the plus side, the food is excellent. The hotel does not have multi-meter buffets, but the food there is delicious, everything is always fresh and there is a sufficient selection of dishes. There was always a lot of fruits and vegetables, a delicious variety of pastries. In a pandemic, queues were an unpleasant moment, but the guys tried very hard to serve everyone quickly, making sure that everyone in the queue was wearing masks. If something came to an end - they brought new portions of dishes, clean plates and cutlery, quickly cleaned the vacant tables. In general, the staff are friendly and nice people.
Not a very new number of rooms, but everything worked well, the plumbing was in good order, the pressure was good. Cleaning was carried out chaotically, they did not always have time to clean the room in the first half of the day, and after dinner, they used to ask if you needed to be cleaned? Or they didn’t ask and didn’t clean it. Towels were changed upon request, soap and toilet paper were added. For 10 nights the bed was not changed even once. The bed linen is white and high quality, but the towels are old, hard and no longer white.

In the hall, corridors, on the stairs - very clean, sanitizers, mirrors are hung, it's cozy. I wish they cleaned the balcony too.
Wi-Fi is paid, $ 2 per day for one device, a safe in the room is also for a fee, I did not use it. Because I heard about a bad Wi-Fi signal, connected the mobile Internet service in roaming from my provider, did not use the hotel one.
My room was on the first floor (above zero) towards the road. I read that it is very noisy there, because. Directly under the windows is the final stop of minibuses. In fact, there is not much noise from this stop - minibuses here, as a rule, make a U-turn and leave without stopping, because. rarely does anyone get out or sit down in this place. Noise from others - motorcyclists, taxis and cars with loud music, garbage trucks. And also the noise - from the external units of air conditioners, there were two of them on my balcony - mine and the neighbor's, a very strange decision, of course. The closed balcony door and the microclimate from our air conditioner solved this problem, besides, the nights in late September - early October were still quite stuffy.
The biggest drawback of the hotel, in my opinion, is its beach. A very small area is allocated for a hotel beach, the sunbeds are crowded, close to each other (there is no question of a safe distance... ), there are enough sunbeds for about a quarter of the hotel guests, they are occupied at 5-6 in the morning... The sunbeds are of various sizes, old, uncomfortable, not enough mattresses, beach umbrellas are also old, leaky. It is uncomfortable to relax on the beach, crowded among loud-speaking and smoking fellow citizens. Of course, you won’t stay in Icmeler without the sea - you can walk a few minutes to the free city beach, you can even find a free umbrella there - it’s not a problem, the beach is spacious and it’s not at all crowded there. You can pay and get much more comfortable on the loungers of some cafe, there are also a lot of them. But these will already be your life hacks and forced measures, and the hotel will be a big minus for the beach. But if you are not a fan of lying on the beach, the gorgeous sea is nearby, you went out before breakfast or whenever you want, swam, left, no problem. There are showers, changing rooms, foot washing.

The hotel has a great outdoor seating terrace with two pools, a small one and a tiny one. I have never seen anyone swimming in them, but they took pictures - it’s beautiful with evening illumination.
I can recommend the hotel to lovers of walks and excursions, swimming in a beautiful bay with clear water, fresh quality food without any frills. For service, a vast area with a beach, swimming pools, slides, cocktails, delicacies - not here.
