For the first time we went to rest in Turkey (from 02.09 to 09.09), and chose this hotel, because. he was full of good reviews and fit the budget. Knowing full well that these 3 stars did not experience any illusions, but to be so upset is a bit too much.
Let's start with the pleasant. The hotel has its own beach, but many resources say that there is no beach, so you don’t have to be afraid, you won’t have to pay for sunbeds and an umbrella if they are, otherwise the area is small and there are a lot of people. But, personally, we had enough, once we had to wait until the sunbed was freed, and everything was fine. The staff there is very nice and polite, it is possible to buy drinks or food, they will bring you directly to the table by the sunbed. But you can bring your own. The main thing is to clean up after yourself, otherwise all the garbage in the water and on the streets is all negligent tourists and it's terrible.
However, you still need to walk to this beach. There is much more than 1.2 km, as stated in the description. In the morning at 10 and 11 a transfer from the hotel goes, at 17 it returns. If anything, there is a stop nearby, by bus number 3 for 2 lira you can get to the "Blue Port" and there legs-legs.

On the plus side, I can single out the food. I don't know how you could stay hungry with such an assortment. Meat was constant, steamed vegetables, french fries, sometimes pasta or couscous. Lots of sauces and salads. Yes, they are monotonous, such as tomato-cucumber, tomato-cucumber-onion, tomato-lettuce, cucumber-lettuce... etc. , but as for me - enough, there are different dressings. Eat and don't complain. The taste is different, but everything is very tasty and edible, so here is a solid 5.
Now about the sad. When we checked in, we were given a room on the fifth floor with two single beds (in total there were 3 beds and 1 sofa in the room), although I asked for a double bed (I pay attention to this, because 3 girls who asked for separate beds settled a little later, and they were given one double bedroom, where the logic is incomprehensible). We were promised to change this number in two days, which, of course, did not happen, neither after 2 days, nor after 5 days. They changed our room only when we were evicted, and our tour operator delayed the flight and extended our day. And they gave one that I saw in the photo in those good reviews.
Now about the number. It was on the fifth floor with terribly low ceilings that I hit my head against. There was a TV, small, but it worked, although we never used it. Refrigerator too. Posharpanaya furniture and doors - I would not focus on this if it were clean. And so, you open the closet - and there is dust, you look at the head of the bed, everything is the same, and when we moved the beds... hair, dust, some pills are lying around, the situation is the same in the bathroom. Moreover, in the bathroom, the place for the shower covers a short stub of the curtain, and all the water pours onto the floor, because. a place to drain slightly below and that's it. There was an air conditioner, it worked, but in parallel with its work, it let out a tear. Water dripped onto the floor, and I also thought of putting a bag under it (I didn’t want to take things apart, because we were promised to change the number in 2 days). Then you approach the balcony, and there is a curtain in red stains from rust or something else, I don’t even know, the door is naturally old and moldy, but the horror lay in wait on the balcony. An ashtray that no one removed (there are no cigarette butts, but the ashes remain), chairs and a table - you can’t touch them, let alone sit down. It seems that dust has settled on a greasy coating. And some incomprehensible red mud in the corner of the balcony.
Yes, I understand that we do not live in a suite, but at least it was possible to do it cleanly. This is the most annoying thing. Even the fact that the cleaning lady came to us to clean up did not change anything. Garbage bags were taken out of the room and everything. Well, they made the bed. Hair, dust, some kind of pills were lying around, and continued to do their annoyingly dirty deeds.

The hair dryer also scared me. Yes, it was, but the mount immediately fell off, then, after a couple of minutes of work, it turned off. As it turned out, he overheats, and you need to pause.
As for staff and alcohol. The wine here is very amateurish, the aftertaste is pink, as if you licked a tire, so I advise white wine - it is more tolerant. But with this, everything is clear, in your assortment: gin, vodka, wine (white, red, pink), beer, sprite, cola and fanta. Cocktails, mineral water and juice - all for a fee. Although on the first day they poured juice, the next day they sent me to the machine with yupi, they say, if you want juice, drink this game. Okay, it's all clear what kind of money - such a result, BUT you can at least serve like a human being. The staff sometimes outright ignore you and you beg for that drink like a fool. Like a begging seagull, you stand and ask for something. Yes, and you are gradually poured more alcohol, less sprite, so that you are already drunk and dumped. Such an attitude.
Swimming pool. He is, he is not bad, they clean him - they collect leaves with a landing net and that's it. But we swam, everything was fine, there is a scent nearby - you can wash off bleach in it, the trouble is with sunbeds. People just occupy them from the very morning, throwing in the towel and dumping into the sunset, and you just can't find a place for yourself. Well, I would add umbrellas, but there are no complaints here.
I can also add about Wi-Fi, it is there and works very well. The password can be taken at the reception and you will be happy.
Warning: be prepared for the fact that some of the staff speak only English, others do not speak it. There is a Russian speaking manager Aya, if you look for her - she is nice and will help you in any case.
In general, I liked the rest, but not the hotel, I have no desire to recommend it, even considering that we only spent the night in it, but a lot depends on the staff!
