There were four of us 2 adults + 1 child - 12 liters, 1 child - 1.4 liters. In general, I liked the rest, I didn’t want to leave, the hotel’s shortcomings are smoothed out by the area pleasant to the heart, the beautiful clear sea, the mountain air fresh in any weather, the friendliness of the people in the village. We rode a boat in Marmaris - it’s also beautiful there, but there are a lot of cars and people there, the movement is like in a city of a million people, and in Turunc everything is quiet and calm, in the evening they block traffic on the main street, you can walk calmly, maybe this is an option for pensioners but It is in such an environment that you can just relax. We went with Tui, the guides are either Russian or speak Russian well, more than 100 km from the airport, they led an excursion almost all the way! We were seduced by a free tour from Tuya to Marmaris - this is a scam, we lost half a day scamming in leather, gold and Turkish delight stores...
According to the points from the site of the tour operator Tui:
"The hotel is located 110 km from the Dalaman airport, in the village of Turunc, 60 m from the sea. "

- from the airport to go far and long, part of the road through the mountains and serpentines, very, very steep
- 60m is a complete divorce, 60m is not quite the sea and the beach, but rather a port, and the beach, as it turned out, is about 600m, the beach is for two hotels, you need to stomp along the sea to the other side of the village, in time if you stomp and not stare around about 10 minutes - this is actually the biggest minus of this hotel, except that the beach is far away from the place there is always a butt, to take places under umbrellas you need to move out earlier, the whole debility is that another hotel with a beach is nearby and upon arrival you have to watch how most sun loungers are occupied only by shorts and towels, sometimes people don’t come until lunch, there is not enough space on the beach in the absence of people!
• the main restaurant (the food is not bad, but monotonous, mostly chicken meat, once there was fish, a lot of greens and salads, fruits regularly, almost everything is edible, after the previous Egyptian fives I liked the food more, there is no children's kitchen, baby 1, For 4 years they fed absolutely everyone, everyone brought children's food back, there were no problems, we repeatedly observed how the hotel management eats together with tourists in the general stream, or window dressing or an indicator - it’s not clear, there is only one children’s chair for the canteen, I had to hunt for it, even though the hotel their type of family, waiters, waitresses are very pleasant and courteous, always with a smile, they made friends with our baby, said goodbye with hugs : ))
• closed restaurant (not seen)
• a-la carte restaurant (Turkish cuisine, for a fee) (did not see)
• 2 bars (the bar in the dining room is more like a buffet, there is something by the pool, but the bartenders are goofy, it seems that after diluting alcohol, they pour everything else into their pockets, alcoholic drinks are diluted to an indecent state, wine is true from bottles more or less)

• outdoor pool (the pool is relatively large, there are a lot of people in the afternoon, but there is enough space for everyone, we lived right with access from the balcony to the pool, a bit noisy, but not boring day or night, double-glazed windows cover the sound well)
• doctor on call (for a fee)
• currency exchange (currency can be changed directly at the reception, although they take dollars almost everywhere, often in dollars it comes out even cheaper)
• car rental (not seen)
• parking (not seen)
• dry cleaning (extra charge) (no need)
For children
• children's pool (2 by 2 meters : /)
• mini-club (from 2 to 6 years old) (a complete bluff, we were with two children, I did not even see any slides, an animator, and even more so, in the absence of children's infrastructure, this hotel was rated - 2)
• water sports (on the beach) (what it is not clear about, except for sunbeds, umbrellas and stones there is nothing there)
Well, and one more thing - upon arrival we were given a terrible double room, where it is unrealistic to walk between the bed and the closet, no balcony, no sea view, next to the kitchen - smells, did not pay anything at the reception, stupidly refused the room until we were given another , in principle, a good room, with a balcony overlooking the mountains and the pool. The rooms and the entire hotel are relatively clean, the room is cleaned every day.
Russian is either not spoken or very bad both in the hotel and everywhere...
But in general, the rest was a success, any hotel has disadvantages, I described the most important ones, although some of them are incorrigible, nature and the sea are just super, if you have already bought tickets, do not worry - you will rest without problems.
