We chose a tour the day before departure, and as it turned out, impromptu is my best ally! We paid for the Deluxe room (then still not really understanding what it means in this hotel, but I believe that it will not be worse) : -))
Tour operator: Intourist
The composition of the group: me, my wife and the youngest son of 8 years.
Place of residence - Moscow.
Flight: iFly charter from Vnukovo airport: No delays. I chose the place in advance for a small surcharge (well, this is a voluntary matter). Somewhere at the beginning of the eleventh we were already at the hotel (with one stop to “wash our hands” and stop by Marmaris to take fellow travelers.
Accommodation: Without any friction or hints, they gave out the keys to a good room 7208.2nd floor, pool in front of the house.
The room is quite normal, the plumbing worked fine.

The air conditioner required a special approach, namely, to find a comfortable temperature by experience (it turned out to be 26 degrees), although I usually set it to 23-24.
In the evening (probably due to a voltage drop), it worked fine, but then at night it froze my ears ...: -)))
Yes! And they themselves washed the removable filters kondeya, so as not to breathe dust.
Meals: Average, even a little meager: Oranges rarely appeared, mostly watermelons (OK! ) and melons (didn't like it). Poor selection of meat dishes. The fish didn't qualify at all, with the exception of the Fish Day, where there was even a tuna steak, but a little bit per person. Since the task was not to gain a couple of extra kilos - this nutritional minus was even by the way. In the evening from 19.00 to 20.00 it is difficult to find a free table, this problem occurs.
Drinks: We took only Beer (more or less), Baileys (Sort of, but normal, you can drink) and Tequila Sunrise (the quality depends on the Bartender). Strong drinks and Wine bought in DutyFree.
When we went to a Greek restaurant - they took red dry wine for $ 15 - I recommend it, because they could not drink what they bring for free.
The feature of the place where the hotel is located is the ideal climatic conditions of the bay. The breeze always blows from the sea, and therefore the August heat is tolerated quite differently. For comparison, in the evening we went to Marmaris (20 minutes by shuttle bus), and so we sweated there ...And in the hotel - nonsense ...
The hotel area is decent, the beach line is long, you can always find a place to your liking (under a canopy, under palm trees or ficuses ...Or even on the pier under umbrellas).

The staff seemed friendly to me. Mostly all Russian speakers. The girls at the reception are just lovely and always ready to help you.
The bartenders are also generally friendly and helpful. I especially want to note Engin (as it is written on his badge) - a great guy, remembers all the preferences of customers, always smiling (and I didn’t really spoil them with tips, only at the very end of the holiday based on the results, so to speak ... ).


Massage/SPA: Previously not a fan, but age takes its toll...: -))
The wonderful SPA manager Feruza persuaded me and my wife for one session (hammam + massage + face mask), as a result, we took a package of five more massages. Nazgul worked with me...It was not just a massage, but an hour-long manual therapy session. At first it hurt (neck, upper spine, arms), then I felt a long-forgotten flexibility. It was really cool! Yes, the premises themselves are in need of repair, but the craftsmen are of a very decent level. I recommend to visit!

Excursions: Well, of course, as in all other hotels, representatives of your tour operator will by hook or by crook try to sell you excursions at relatively high prices (in Marmaris itself you can take them twice as cheap and don’t listen to fairy tales - scarecrows about risks / non-coverage insurance, etc. nonsense). We nevertheless succumbed and took one trip to the Aegean Islands, I recommend this excursion.
In terms of service on the boat - Inturist showed itself normally: Beer, wine without restrictions, a modest lunch, and fish and shrimp for an additional fee. Quite ok.

Animation Entertainment One of the best, which I came across in different hotels in Turkey. The guys are trying. Groups of artists are also invited. Super.
Discos every evening from 21.00 to 24.00. DJ - good, will not let you get bored.

Audience: Mostly Russia and Ukraine, Slovaks, Germans (no more than 10%) also come across. Ours, a couple of times, were seen in an inadequate redneck condition caused by the "Ultra All Inclusive" syndrome. But, contrary to the wishes of those around them, for some reason they didn’t hand them over to the police ...And with heroic efforts they escorted them to sleep in the room: -((

I didn’t see the number of rooms in the main building, according to reviews, he was already very tired. But! the hotel will be refurbished at the end of this year. Allegedly, there will be more tourists from other countries ...What will happen to the price - probably not hard to guess ...Let's wait and see.

Last day of stay: Departure from the hotel at 16.30, for the flight from Dalaman at 21.20.
At 10.00 I went to the reception and after not difficult negotiations extended the room until 16.00 for $ 30, which is basically normal. Although, I don’t understand why, if possible (the next arrival of fresh tourists at 22.00) - not to provide people with such a bonus for free?

Conclusion: In the presence of positive and good mood, all the roughness and minor flaws are invisible. Hotel I recommend to visit this season, and then look at the price tag after reconstruction.
If possible, it is advisable to take the Deluxe Room.
