Returned from Turunc Resort 2 days ago family 3 pers. Based on fresh impressions, I want to write a detailed review for those who are tormented by the pangs of choice.
We went from Kharkov Aneks tour. Departure at 10.30, everything is clear. Fly 2.5 hours. Arrival at 13.00, hotel at 17.00. It takes more than 3 hours to drive from Dalaman with the rest being transported. If possible, fly to Bodrum, from there it takes 1.5 hours according to eyewitnesses.
We were on the Aegean coast of Turkey for the first time, I always loved the surroundings of Kemer. Also were in Alanya and Side. The area is very green, picturesque and not too hot. The first impression of our bay was that you were swimming in a puddle (in the evening the water was muddy and warm). I even got upset.

But the morning is wiser than the evening, and everything fell into place. In the morning the water is clear, we found an exit to the sea through the grotto, there are more living creatures and the man even caught crabs, it's cool.
The pools were, in my opinion, overly chlorinated, especially the jacuzzi in the spa.
There were enough sun loungers, but if in a specific place, they occupied them until breakfast. The beach at this hotel is separate, the rest had a common one on the other side.
The territory for this region, as I understand it, was large, but in fact, smaller than most 5 * Kemer hotels.
But everything is so conveniently located, cozy.
Food. We all got better and it's only a week! . The food is delicious, not spicy (as my husband said, bland), but there are spices separately and you can season everything yourself. Fish for lunch and especially for dinner every day: tuna steaks, grilled salmon, steamed, dorado and some other small whole fish. From meat and beef and turkey and chicken also in various variations. A couple of times there were squid and shrimp. A lot of fruits. I didn’t eat sweets, except for jams and preserves, there were 20 kinds of them. Honey and liquid and in honeycombs. This is for breakfast. Breakfast is also standard muesli, omelets, fried eggs, boiled eggs, vegetables, fruits, cheeses, sausages, etc.
I read about the old number of rooms, we lived in a 5-storey building adjacent to the main one, the room is compact for three (2 adults + child), side sea view. The room is not old at all, new furniture and TV. The laminate may be a little tired, but not catastrophically. Good bathroom. The air conditioner works quietly, the only thing that pissed it off all the time was to turn it on from the button, when, for example, you open the door to the balcony, it turns off automatically, and you have to turn it on yourself. There are no complaints about cleaning, they cleaned every day, not wow, but normal.
Towels are ok.
Public. During this period, about 50% of Turks, 30% of Poles, 10% of Russians / Ukrainians rested during this period. and 10% Europe. Mostly families with children.
Daytime animation is decent, unobtrusive. In English/Turkish/Polish/Russian.

In the evening we went a couple of times just to live music (I liked it) and the Turkish night (the team was weak). Also, the amphitheater does not accommodate the entire number of willing vacationers, which was strange.
It was not possible to go on an excursion, we went ourselves by minibus from the hotel to Marmaris. The schedule is at the reception. Price 7.25 lire per person. Drive min. 50.
We watched the show of singing fountains, walked along the promenade, it was noisy, crowded, the roadway was close to the beach, a more European version and all the hotels were on top of each other with their small territories.
I recommend the hotel, solid pluses, but next time I will go only from Bodrum airport.
