To begin with, I went on vacation to Turkey for the 3rd time in the last 5 years and each time I chose the Kusadasi resort (initially recommended by a travel agency)! From the first visit in 2005, I just fell in love with this place! The climate is simply amazing, which is especially important for people who can hardly tolerate the heat - very low humidity, every day in the afternoon a light breeze rises from the sea, in the evening there is no need to change 3 T-shirts in a couple of hours. Very comfortable! The Aegean Sea is very clean, but always a little cool, if you like water like "fresh milk", do not wait, this sea always pleasantly "cools". The area of ​ ​ Kusadasi is very beautiful, clean, well-groomed, it is considered one of the most expensive resorts in Turkey. Very close to the ancient city of Ephesus, the house of the Virgin Mary, where they take on amazing excursions, and the world-famous Pamukkale is just a 3-hour drive from the city of Ephesus.
Kusadasi on a completely safe road without a "serpentine". Early in the morning you are picked up by a sightseeing bus and by dinner you are back at the hotel!
Now about the Maxima Club Hotel itself. The hotel is located 35 km from Kusadasi and 2 km from Ozdere. It is a separate building with approximately 600 rooms and two small 3-storey buildings - bungalows. The hotel is comfortably located in a small bay right on the Aegean Sea. It is worth noting that for the first time in Turkey in 2005, I rested in it with the whole family. And then the impressions were the most optimistic, but, as they say, everything is known in comparison - this time the hotel exceeded all our expectations! The main advantage of this particular hotel is its own huge sandy beach with an ideal entry into the sea, equipped with free sunbeds and umbrellas, where you can safely walk to the left towards the rocks for 500 meters and to the right for 200 meters along the sea. I must say right away - when the hotel is operating at full capacity,

you will not find free sunbeds and umbrellas already at 7-8 in the morning, so those who like to sleep longer will have to lie just on the sand, since the place allows! On the beach there is a volleyball court and all kinds of water activities (for an additional fee, except for non-motorized kayaks and a catamaran - it's free). The territory of the hotel itself is very small, but perfectly well-groomed, cozy and beautiful. Pool lovers can enjoy a large adult pool, 2 children's pools and a mini water park with a separate pool and two slides. Around each of the pools there are free sunbeds and umbrellas. Pool water stays clean ALL day! The animation at the hotel is standard for Turkey - from year to year the same competitions, jokes, games and entertainment, but the guys are trying. At your service Tai Chi, beach volleyball twice a day, step aerobics, water polo in the central pool, evening animation in the open-air amphitheater,
daily disco in the hotel, children's entertainment. The hotel was completely renovated in 2009 and updated for the 2010 season - you can see it right away! Everything is new - furniture, sunbeds, repairs in the rooms, plumbing, mattresses on the beach, dance floor, light music, equipment at the disco, etc. on the other hand, the picture, to put it mildly, is unsightly - an abandoned construction site and a dump of construction waste. On the odd side, the view from the windows is amazing - right on the sea! There are no complaints about the cleaning of the room - they clean it every day at any time of the day, even if at 12.00 you want to stay in the room, they will come at 14.00 again, if necessary - and they will come for the 3rd time! Very nice, bright, sun-drenched reception. There are no complaints about the bars and the restaurant at all! Service at the highest level, food varied, tasty, fresh, including boiled vegetables, boiled fish and chicken, fruits (watermelons, melons, peaches,
cherries, oranges, apples, plums), a variety of cheeses for breakfast, pastries, the most delicious honey baklava, airy cakes, good local alcohol - white, red, rose wine, delicious beer... On Fridays at dinner in the restaurant, live music, culinary delights from the chefs - in general, great! Once every 2 weeks in the amphitheater "Turkish Night", they invite a group of dancers, they perform great! The owner himself lives in the hotel and very strictly and carefully monitors the work of all the staff, the order. The hotel as a whole is ideal for families and holidays with children, but we (two 25-year-old girls) did not get bored there either, we could always find some kind of entertainment. For avid party-goers - this is definitely not an option! The only minus of the holiday - WELL, I DID NOT LIKE TO LEAVE!! !
