For the first time in my life I was going to Turkey.
Find yourself a companion - and go.
We arrived at the hotel at 12:00. Check-in only from 14:00.
What I didn’t like in the first place was the absence of a representative of the tour operator in the hotel upon arrival (our tour operator TURTESS).
By 14/00 our rooms were still not ready (We were told that they had not been cleaned yet - The question arises what they did for 2 hours). Naturally, proceedings began over the number. After 20 minutes, a girl came up to help tourists in the hotel, and only after that we were taken to the room.

And here's the joke - there was a double bed in the room - it took us 20 minutes to change it. During the replacement, it turned out that the air conditioner did not work in the room, there was no extractor fan in the toilet, there was no hair dryer, one socket for two electrical appliances (that is, either watch TV or turn on the refrigerator), the room was not cleaned (a thick layer of dust on everything), instead the promised cabin - a shower with a curtain.
(And imagine that we were driving from Gomel (Belarus) - we had not slept since Saturday evening).
As a result, we were convinced for a long time that there was no other number.
And after another 15 minutes they changed our room (in which the shower did not work... the shower was fixed only the next day).
We are not the only ones with the same problem. . .
By the way, get ready for the fact that the safe can only be taken at the reception desk - this pleasure costs 3 USD. in a day.
(When choosing a room in this hotel - do not take Block "B" - all the rooms are old there, better "D, C", on the edge of "A")
The food is monotonous.
From drinks: tea (only black Lipton - in bags), coffee "type" Jacobs (I do not advise - slop).
There are no juices!
Instead, a drink like Jupi.
Wine red and white - also do not advise.
You can only drink beer (there is only Efes) and water. (Buy a couple of bottles of water at the hotel right away - then you can just collect the water).
Drinks will be available at the bar - Fanta, Coke, Sprite and Gin and Tonic.
All this is free.
As for the food - everything is in order here.
From fruits only - oranges, watermelon, grapes and plums.
A towel is given on bail 5 c. u. - they will be returned to you later.
Animation is weak: during the day - games, aerobics; in the evening - a program for children, competitions for adults 90% in English.
Do not settle for trips to a disco with animators.
It will be cheaper for 1.75 lira (it is better to change a few dollars, the rate is about 1.5) to get to the street of bars.
You can also walk back (about 45 minutes).
Or you can arrange to go back by bus with another hotel. This is not a $1 problem. and all.
Beach - pebbles - decent.
However, it's up to you to choose.
I want to note only two pluses - the hotel is large and is located only 3 km from the center (you can walk to the center along the Embankment).
