We rested with the whole family of 4 people (two children 4 and 9 years old) from 07/07/2018 to 07/18/2018. In this hotel were in 2011 in August. The first thing that struck us was how dilapidated the hotel was. Just a shock... There are no other words. Repairs have been carried out for a long time, especially the toilets in the lobby and the spa center, I am silent about the beach toilet, the smell is terrible... The food in the main restaurant is meager and monotonous compared to 2011. The meat was not always in the form of a vegetable stew, once there was a turkey cut into slices and once meat on a spit on a Turkish night. The rest of the time everything is as usual rice, french fries, cutlets and meatballs from minced offal. We must pay tribute to the fish is delicious on the grill. As a mother, I didn’t like that yogurts were served in large bowls in the morning, like everywhere else, but another bowl with ice was not placed under them. This yogurt stands in the heat for 3.5 hours and sours (there were no air conditioners in the room). It seemed strange that there are no disposable tea bags, for lovers of not only strong black tea. Fruits and vegetables were in abundance, although they were only served once, so if we wanted to eat fruit, we had to approach the opening, which is also not convenient with small children.
The beach is good, more or less clean, the sea is beautiful, there were always enough sunbeds, you could come at any time. I really liked a good canopy over the sunbeds, in the hot time of the day you can be on the beach without fear of burning.
Our room was on the second floor overlooking the garden and the road. The room is modest, but nice and clean, cleaning was carried out every day, conscientiously, towels and bed linen were changed every day, the mini-bar was also replenished daily (mineral and plain water, children's juices). The safe in the room is paid, wi-fi in the hotel is also paid 2 euros per day (to the great regret and shame of this hotel!!!!!! , which positions itself as five stars).

Animation for adults is practically non-existent. In front of our eyes, one animator was fired for negligence (he did not spend volleyball on the beach with vacationers at the allotted time, or the guys from the leather and fur salon did it for him, although they have nothing to do with the hotel).
The hotel has a leather shop, as I mentioned, Russian-speaking Turks work there. Good people, they do their work with great zeal, while they are not aware that sometimes the brakes need to be turned on, and not to impose your product so much. We went to their main store to support them, because their salary comes from the number of people brought. There is no choice in the store, so decide for yourself whether to agree to a trip.
I rated it "not bad", although I described everything in rather soft colors...
The hotel does not qualify for five stars. We are in Turkey for the sixth time and we have something to compare. . .
Despite this, I want to express my deep gratitude to the children's animator Yulia. Our eldest child was pleased and still remembers.
