Hotel - No holiday atmosphere.
It feels like everything is calculated.
It looks like this:
To comply with a 5 * hotel, it is necessary to have a pool - it is, but 140cm deep. There must be animation - it is, but to be listed.
There must be food - it is, but so as not to die of hunger (no frills)
Those who are in Turkey for the first time will probably be happy. And who has something to compare. . 99% that will be disappointed.
A good Turkish five, really, is able to surprise and give an atmosphere of celebration and relaxation. There is nothing of that here.
Everything is very bland and mediocre.

In order:
Very small space, cramped.
In early June, the hotel is full. The only explanation for such a rush here is probably the sandy beach and shallow sea. All vacationers with children)
Accordingly, all day long screaming, screaming, crying and sand on your head on the beach ...

The sea is a separate conversation: go to the beach, exactly, 7 minutes or they will take you on a cattle truck (this is a real, rattling tractor with an attached wagon - not much pleasant)
Beach: public format - darkness to the people and our beloved kids with the same screams, screams and sand on their heads)
Animation: none. (there are people in yellow T-shirts and that's it)
Nutrition: 3 points. absolutely nothing to make you want to try, besides, it also ends prematurely.
From hopelessness, you have to eat mashed potatoes.
Traditional kilograms gained in Turkey from the abundance on the tables and from deliciously prepared dishes that you definitely want to try are canceled. Everything fresh and without features (mashed potatoes, fried fish in old oil, meat is fried on it, chopped vegetable porridge - like a salad, all sour-vinegar sauces and olive oil - more like water. And most importantly - Desserts: two types of baklava in a row and that's it!
Do not expect any delicious cakes in the assortment.
Spa salon - 3 points. There are people, there are no professionals.
Receptionist - everything is just as insipid.
Settled in a room on the ground floor, for the disabled (all around handrails and a saddle in the shower - half the trouble, but the mirrors are screwed at waist level)) funny, already want to cry. The first floor with windows on the road and around the clock cars rush, straight, to your window.
And the rooms themselves are soundproofed, especially, do not shine. And if your room is in the middle of the corridor, then round-the-clock shying back and forth of people, maids and kids with hubbub and crying is guaranteed.
We were motivated by the fact that there are no other options, everything is packed (there are options with a sea view, but you have to pay $100 extra for them).
The next day, the shift changed and the administrator Irina moved for "Please" to an excellent room, overlooking the sea, on the penultimate floor, at the end of the corridor. For which she "Thank you so much! " - Things went well)

In conclusion, I can say one thing, that for such money there is a huge selection of excellent 5-star hotels. With a huge green area, fun animation that truly will not let you get bored, concerts of famous stars, with the most luxurious food and, most importantly, with an atmosphere of relaxation and celebration that will meet you from the very door to the last minute of your stay at the hotel. We visited such hotels all previous times ...But this is not about a hotel called Crystal Sunset.

And yet, how did we get here? !
Everything is very simple, by some kind of miraculous coincidence, there was simply no choice on our dates ...

Everything happens in life, but you should not lose heart over such trifles)
We will still take the maximum positive from our vacation, and we will include such a place in the multi-volume book "Personal Experience"

Have a good choice of hotels and a lot of pleasant moments this summer season)
