It was late spring 2023, and the hotel was located on the outskirts of the village along the river and lake (the mosquitoes began to swarm in the evening). Gothel's territory is not large.

It was late spring 2023, and the hotel was located on the outskirts of the village along the river and lake (the mosquitoes began to swarm in the evening). Gothel's territory is not large. The tiles in the pool are too slimy. The dishes from the tables and the pool were cleared very rarely. There is music in the pool, but no animation. Every evening there is a disco (with new dances of the day), after a disco show (dances, acrobatic performances, bingo). The hotel's beach is located at a distance of 2 km, and not as described by the tour operators, 750 m. The bus runs every 30 minutes starting from 8-30. The beach is great, the sun loungers are a lot of scarlet and a lot of dirty, they had to be replaced automatically (the beachboy was washed once and then there might be a lot of damage), the beach is rough, glasses and plates for drinks have been lying along the sun loungers since the previous day. The bar on the beach opens from 10.00 (beer, wine, champagne), and from 10.00 you can eat mixed cakes with various fillings. The restaurant on the beach opens from 12.
00, if you don’t want to go to a hotel for lunch, you can have a delicious meal on the beach (meat, fish and grilled vegetables, vegetables, French fries, hamburgers, fruits). The food in the hotel restaurant is varied, meat and fish are always eaten, children (7 years old and 1.2 years old) always had something to eat (and not just French fries). However, in restaurants there were often no serving dishes at the tables, and the dishes were often not cleared away. Children's chairs often didn't tidy up. There are two pluses, however, because in this hotel you will never go hungry, and you will never go hungry until nightfall, and there is a bar in which there are imported drinks, and not just local alcohol. A cleaning lady will come in every day, or else tidy up or not. The room looks like it has been sunk into the Radian Union, the shower stall is all covered with fungus, the shower gels and lotions did not smell. The minibar returned to attention and every other time. And please note that there are many of our “neighbors” there. Behave quietly, otherwise their presence is stressful.
The hotel has its own advantages, but there are more disadvantages. I won't come here as a friend.

Settled after 14-00, but the bracelet was put on upon arrival. The room is spacious, clean, with a beautiful view of the pool and the river. Cleaning was done daily. The hotel has a well-groomed territory, swimming pool, slides, spa ...cleanliness everywhere. Good location, beautiful surroundings.

Good location, beautiful surroundings...nearby boat trips...you can get to the city by bus, stop near the hotel.
The staff is good and friendly.
Wi-Fi throughout the hotel.
Food - a very large selection ...very tasty cooked. On the beach and on the territory of the hotel there are always snacks, cakes, etc.
Alcohol - vodka, beer, gin, whiskey, rum, brandy, tequila, wine, baileys, etc. Any cocktail will be made.
The sea is gorgeous and clean. The sun loungers are comfortable. There is enough space for everyone. Buses run to the beach all day long. But walking is a pleasure.
Animation is normal. Shows, competitions, karaoke, disco in the evening.

After reading the previous reviews, I began to doubt if people are writing about Lake River? Or is it in August 2021 that the hotel has changed so wonderfully right for our arrival? What are 50+? For 9 days we saw older people as much as 1 time. But there are dozens of kids from babies to... 16+. A real family hotel.

After reading the previous reviews, I began to doubt if people are writing about Lake River? Or is it in August 2021 that the hotel has changed so wonderfully right for our arrival? What are 50+? For 9 days we saw older people as much as 1 time. But there are dozens of kids from babies to... 16+. A real family hotel.
We rested with a large company of 4 families with children from one to 17 years old. Everyone liked it!!!
Now in order. The SkyUp airline delayed the flight for 6 hours - as a result, a sleepless night at the airport on suitcases. Really good hot breakfast. Then a transfer from Antalya to Side from our tour operator Join Up, which instead of the prescribed 1 hour 40 minutes took an hour more, since the guide Vlada accompanying us took us to some kind of toilet shop, as a result we arrived at the hotel at 14.20, in 10 minutes before the end of lunch. And the guys at the reception, instead of sending tired and hungry tourists to the restaurant, started filling out countless pieces of paper and settling. And if almost a whole day of rest had not been stolen from us, we could have put 10.
The rooms are clean, not worn out, with excellent beds and bathrooms. Those that overlook the pool with a beautiful view, but rather noisy music and a disco, our view was not very good - the river, but absolutely quiet. The rooms were cleaned regularly, unless of course we left a "do not disturb" sign, towels were changed once. And why more, we didn’t work there on a combine. The room has a free safe, sets of shampoo, conditioner, gel - 2 pcs per person, a mini bar filled with water and juices, which was even replenished, although they should not have been.
I read in the reviews "there was nothing to eat. " Do you people have a conscience? Yes, there were no squids and lobsters in this 5 *, but the number of dishes is huge. Even if something is repeated, then trying everything at once will not work.
Breakfasts: boiled, fried eggs, omelettes with different fillings, dairy, muesli, sausages and sausages (not very tasty), a lot of different greens, salads, buns, fruits, toasts, about 5 varieties of cheese, pancakes with Nutella. There were no meat dishes in the morning. But on the other hand, at lunch and dinner - in bulk, chicken (pieces of 5 different dishes), but tourists will definitely create a queue where steaks are fried or on the street; beef, liver, mushrooms, always delicious different fish, even red was. Steamed vegetables. That is, the food was "for ulcers, and teetotalers, and for vegetarians. " August is the fruit season, there was everything and a lot at the same time: watermelon, melon, grapes, peaches, plums, oranges, grapefruits, a couple of varieties of apples, pears. Something was sometimes greenish - but there is always something to choose from. On the street they baked delicious Belgian waffles with chocolate and some kind of pretzels, pita bread with cheese. At lunch - ice cream in packages by the pool - it was enough for a horde of children and adults. You can eat at the hotel almost always from 7 am to night. On the beach from 11.00 you can have a bite of pita bread, and at 12.00 a restaurant opens, where there are not only french fries, but also chicken kebabs, steaks, fish, salads and fruits. Unmeasured beer, wine, various drinks and coffee-tea from the machine.
Animation: by the pool darts, polo, aqua aerobics, at 21.00 - mini disco for children, at 22.00 - 40-minute show for adults - 4 days diverse dance groups, fire show (do local animators) - so-so, Miss Hotel and Mr. the hotel is the coolest. Of course, for such a large hotel, the animation is rather weak, but it is there. After the show, there was a disco, but for some reason there were very few people left for it, there were few young people, and the rest of the contingent had children.
The sea: it is magical, warm, clean. Beach: sand, small pebbles at the edge of the sea, there were always enough sunbeds under the shade for everyone both on yarn and by the pool.
The only negative of this hotel is 1.4 km from the sea (measured using the phone) to walk at a calm pace for 20 minutes. BUT there is a regular bus every half an hour. The time may not coincide with the schedule due to the fact that all the clocks in the hotel are 10-15 minutes ahead of schedule.
Ultra-inclusive: the most delicious cocktails are made at the lobby bar, they pour gin, tequila, whiskey, baileys… there are chips, nuts…
Excursions: with hotel guides 2-2.5 times more expensive than on the street on the right at the exit from the reception (15 meters). On any excursion, no matter where you buy it and no matter how much, you will definitely be ripped off somewhere, then the entrance is paid, then drinks. Be sure to take water with you! It is very expensive outside the hotel. Please note that Turkey is very burned out, and many objects that should be included in the tour are closed, which sellers will forget to warn you about. By bus for $ 1 you can go to the ancient city, close, cheap and very beautiful, especially in the evening. On Monday and Thursday, the market is open - also by bus for $ 1. In lira, the fare will be almost 1.5 times cheaper, they do not give change.
Be sure to sign up with the guest girl (sitting at the reception to the left of the front door) in the Ala Carte restaurant (free of charge). There is fish and Ottoman, the menu is completely different than in the main restaurant. Booked in the morning of the same day.
Will we visit this hotel again? No, because the world is huge and I want to see something else. Would I recommend it to you, definitely YES. Immediately upon returning home, she sent 3 families of her friends to Lake River at once. Have a good rest to you all. Look for the positive and the negative will find you.

We love Turkey and come 2 times a year... we always choose good hotels, all inclusive Ultra! This hotel positions itself as such. But 3 or 4 maximum! The food is terrible! The territory is small, one large pool, you can’t walk to the sea, you wait for the bus for an hour! The sea is of course good, the beach is normal.

But the rooms and service... terrible! Soviet Union! Everything is old! The hotel is on the outskirts somewhere! No music, no animation! It is better to choose hotels in Alanya, they will be better there!
When I saw all this on arrival, I was so upset! I do not advise!! !

We rested as a family of 5 people (4 adults + child 8 years old) at the end of June 2021. Hotel: the hotel itself is beautiful, spacious, clean, there is an elevator. Flowers grow everywhere, there are palm trees, the territory is looked after, everything is created for a comfortable stay. There is a pool of 140 m, 5 slides for adults and a separate pool for kids.

We rested as a family of 5 people (4 adults + child 8 years old) at the end of June 2021.
Hotel: the hotel itself is beautiful, spacious, clean, there is an elevator. Flowers grow everywhere, there are palm trees, the territory is looked after, everything is created for a comfortable stay. There is a pool of 140 m, 5 slides for adults and a separate pool for kids. The territory is not sick, but there is where to walk in the evening. On the ground floor there are many shops, and goodies, and souvenirs, and clothes, and even fur coats with leather. Near the hotel there is a bike path and a river, you can also go for a walk in the evening. There is a playground with swings and slides. Evening and daytime animation, smart animators, they are not intrusive, but the shows are interesting, we liked it. There is wi-fi throughout the territory, but it is weak, you can only drop pictures and chat, the conversation did not work out.
Room: safe and mini-bar are free, there was enough shampoo, clean towels, bedding too, there is air conditioning. Our room was overlooking the lake, it was quiet, no one bothered. The walls are thick, you can't hear your neighbors. Cleaning is weak, but we didn’t leave any money, they didn’t wind up swans for us)).
The sea and the beach: a shuttle bass carries the sea, it does not go quite on schedule, but as it fills up, sometimes you had to wait for it. And he picks up early from the sea, the last one at 18:45, you can still stay at the sea, but you need to leave. There is sand on the beach, the entrance to the sea is 5 meters slabs, then the depth is sharp. The sea is clear, sometimes fish were seen. The sea is warm and clear. On the beach there are changing rooms, a toilet, a lot of sun loungers, there is a snack (salads, fruits, fast food, grilled fish).
Food in the restaurant: excellent, everything was enough in full. A lot of meat, fruits, cakes, in general, everything is super here, no one will go hungry.
Of the minuses (if you really find fault with it): weak Wi-Fi, a shuttle bus that travels as it pleases, the hotel is 1.5 km from the beach, there is no shopping promenade near the hotel.
Everything else went great. I recommend the hotel!! !

Finally, the borders were opened and we gathered in September in Turkey in a 5-star hotel. Chose solely on fresh reviews, tk. after quarantine, many "good" hotels have passed the bar. Now for the facts: - the hotel is located in a kind of wasteland, there are 2 more hotels and a river nearby, nothing more sensible (fortunately, you can get to Side and Manavgat by regular bus, I advise you to take a walk); - arrived from the airport 4 hours after arrival, as it took a very long time to deliver others (hello Fit Holidays); - they gave us the documents for settling, we were sent for lunch, we came tired from lunch - no one dealt with our documents, we had to wait another 20 minutes until we were settled).

- arrived from the airport 4 hours after arrival, as it took a very long time to deliver others (hello Fit Holidays);
- they gave us the documents for settling, we were sent for lunch, we came tired from lunch - no one dealt with our documents, we had to wait another 20 minutes until we were settled). The staff at the reception understands Russian with grief in half, while in English (which I know well) you won’t talk much with them either. So I can not say that we were quickly hospitably settled. They took the suitcase for sanitation, and then also asked for a tip (which we are always ready to leave, but not in the situation when we haven’t eaten or slept since the morning and can’t get into the room for a long time in the absence of any hype in the hotel as such) .
About the hotel:
- the territory is small, there is nowhere to walk, only if you are not afraid to go out at night on the road slightly illuminated by lanterns;
- throughout the hotel, including the room, they save a lot on lighting - you are constantly in some kind of twilight;
- a good water park, albeit small, saunas, etc. there is no free, in the spa only massage and a small gym, where you can’t turn around at all;
- the hall is beautiful, in the evening all the guests flock there to drink cocktails from the heart (which, by the way, are not tasty at all and rather look like a way to quickly get into a drunken state);
- the bus runs every half an hour and even more often - lies! The bus runs every hour to and from the hotel, and it will not go straight in advance (arrived at 15:20 - wait for 16:00), but it can leave at 15:50, and then you will arrive at 16:00 and also did not have time . Thanks to the open windows, everything is in a terrible dust - it is better to close your mouth and nose, otherwise you will plant your lungs while you eat to the beach;
- horses are grazing near the hotel, at night it stank of manure from the window, I had to sleep with air conditioning and close the balcony - at the end of the vacation, a cold jumped out (a hair dryer will not dry any hair).
By food:
- like everywhere there are many Turkish dishes and interpretations of European ones with a dubious taste, for themselves only on the 3rd day of all this abundance they found something more or less acceptable. Crayfish were 1 evening and very few - gray inside, rolls are not tasty, all desserts are like store-bought ones - cute, but there’s nothing to taste, the fruits are the most ordinary, there weren’t even pomegranates, although Side is famous for them and September is just the season;
- I read that food is for the whole day, and I expected that we definitely wouldn’t be hungry. As a result: it is clear that breakfast-lunch-dinner is scheduled, there are no questions, but! By the pool you can eat only in a narrow interval from 2 to 4, like on the beach, there is no food in the lobby. That is, after lunch and before dinner, you either eat up at 2 o’clock or starve until 7. This was especially felt on the beach when you arrive after 3, you want to stay until sunset, but you understand that you are already hungry and the bus stops going. After dinner, only poor burgers at 21:30, which you definitely won’t eat more than 2 times and popcorn for children.
Number:
- we settled in and what we see - the walls are dirty, the floors were "carried with dirt while washing", the windows to the pool and the balcony to the disco (if you like to sleep at night, ask for a room in the other wing to relax at 22:00, and not listen to German children's songs). Lighting - twilight, especially in the bathroom. A lot of closets for things and a strong pressure in the shower - noted as a plus. Bathrobes are not provided. There are no blankets either, but at least you can ask at the reception. The minibar had different sodas, after that only water was replenished. They didn’t give anything at check-in, as usual (not a plate of fruit, nothing, only a luggage carrier stood with us for 10 minutes waiting for money). From amenity: shower gel, shampoo, conditioner (girls, absolutely useless, take your own), body cream and soap. No toothpaste! Although in any 5-star hotel they give a set of brush + paste, also a spoon for shoes. We found out that there was no pasta in the evening when we were going to brush our teeth. We came to reception, to which we were told - go buy in the store, which is in the hotel, we don’t know anything. Naturally, in the evening it is closed and in the morning during tomorrow it also did not work yet. Very spoiled the impression;
- all wooden furniture is very old and not functional at all;
- drying clothes - 3 short sticks from the wall, in a room designed for 4 people this is not serious;
- they gave 1 card per number (on other holidays they gave 2), when asked to give a second one (it’s more convenient for us), they refused.
Cleaning:
- they hung a sign about cleaning in the morning (maybe the sea with small pebbles, etc. , with all the desire, the floors and towels got dirty);
- in fact, she always came to us after dinner, when people usually have an afternoon nap in the midst of the heat on the street and for a couple of days it was very uncomfortable that we were not in the room all morning, and she came to us right away every day after lunch;
- bed linen was changed 1 time, on the last night for some reason;
- towels were changed 1 time, when they personally asked the maid (which was very difficult, because he does not understand any language other than Turkish);
- on other days, dirty towels were folded neatly and hung "like new".
As a result: it doesn’t smell like five stars at all, more than 3 stars with a buffet (and then, some 3 stars, you know, are better). There are a lot of rooms, and the hotel is useless, there is nowhere to go in the evening (of course, if you like to drink cocktails all day and your maximum is to take a sun lounger for the whole day to drink alcohol more conveniently, then you might like it).
- the hotel is located in a kind of wasteland, there are 2 more hotels and a river nearby, nothing more sensible (fortunately, you can get to Side and Manavgat by regular bus, I advise you to take a walk);
- arrived from the airport 4 hours after arrival, as it took a very long time to deliver others (hello Fit Holidays);
- they gave us the documents for settling, we were sent for lunch, we came tired from lunch - no one dealt with our documents, we had to wait another 20 minutes until we were settled).

Thanks to the open windows, everything is in a terrible dust - it is better to close your mouth and nose, otherwise you will plant your lungs while you eat to the beach;
- horses are grazing near the hotel, at night it stank of manure from the window, I had to sleep with air conditioning and close the balcony - at the end of the vacation, a cold jumped out (a hair dryer will not dry any hair).
By food:
- like everywhere there are many Turkish dishes and interpretations of European ones with a dubious taste, for themselves only on the 3rd day of all this abundance they found something more or less acceptable. Crayfish were 1 evening and very few - gray inside, rolls are not tasty, all desserts are like store-bought ones - cute, but there’s nothing to taste, the fruits are the most ordinary, there weren’t even pomegranates, although Side is famous for them and September is just the season;
- I read that food is for the whole day, and I expected that we definitely wouldn’t be hungry. As a result: it is clear that breakfast-lunch-dinner is scheduled, there are no questions, but! By the pool you can eat only in a narrow interval from 2 to 4, like on the beach, there is no food in the lobby. That is, after lunch and before dinner, you either eat up at 2 o’clock or starve until 7. This was especially felt on the beach when you arrive after 3, you want to stay until sunset, but you understand that you are already hungry and the bus stops going. After dinner, only poor burgers at 21:30, which you definitely won’t eat more than 2 times and popcorn for children.
Number:
- we settled in and what we see - the walls are dirty, the floors were "carried with dirt while washing", the windows to the pool and the balcony to the disco (if you like to sleep at night, ask for a room in the other wing to relax at 22:00, and not listen to German children's songs). Lighting - twilight, especially in the bathroom. A lot of closets for things and a strong pressure in the shower - noted as a plus. Bathrobes are not provided. There are no blankets either, but at least you can ask at the reception. The minibar had different sodas, after that only water was replenished. They didn’t give anything at check-in, as usual (not a plate of fruit, nothing, only a luggage carrier stood with us for 10 minutes waiting for money). From amenity: shower gel, shampoo, conditioner (girls, absolutely useless, take your own), body cream and soap. No toothpaste! Although in any 5-star hotel they give a set of brush + paste, also a spoon for shoes. We found out that there was no pasta in the evening when we were going to brush our teeth. We came to reception, to which we were told - go buy in the store, which is in the hotel, we don’t know anything. Naturally, in the evening it is closed and in the morning during tomorrow it also did not work yet. Very spoiled the impression;
- all wooden furniture is very old and not functional at all;
- drying clothes - 3 short sticks from the wall, in a room designed for 4 people this is not serious;
- they gave 1 card per number (on other holidays they gave 2), when asked to give a second one (it’s more convenient for us), they refused.
Cleaning:
- they hung a sign about cleaning in the morning (maybe the sea with small pebbles, etc. , with all the desire, the floors and towels got dirty);
- in fact, she always came to us after dinner, when people usually have an afternoon nap in the midst of the heat on the street and for a couple of days it was very uncomfortable that we were not in the room all morning, and she came to us right away every day after lunch;
- bed linen was changed 1 time, on the last night for some reason;
- towels were changed 1 time, when they personally asked the maid (which was very difficult, because he does not understand any language other than Turkish);
- on other days, dirty towels were folded neatly and hung "like new".
As a result: it doesn’t smell like five stars at all, more than 3 stars with a buffet (and then, some 3 stars, you know, are better). There are a lot of rooms, and the hotel is useless, there is nowhere to go in the evening (of course, if you like to drink cocktails all day and your maximum is to take a sun lounger for the whole day to drink alcohol more conveniently, then you might like it).

We were together for the first time in Turkey, the hotel was chosen by terms, price, reviews. We chose LRS and were not mistaken. The hotel is very big and comfortable. The staff always goes to meet, they speak Russian. The 3rd line was embarrassing, but the shuttle that carries to and from the beach was more than enough.

We were together for the first time in Turkey, the hotel was chosen by terms, price, reviews.
We chose LRS and were not mistaken. The hotel is very big and comfortable. The staff always goes to meet, they speak Russian.
The 3rd line was embarrassing, but the shuttle that carries to and from the beach was more than enough. Often went on foot, because. after such breakfasts and lunches, it was necessary to tamp everything down - it would take 14 minutes to walk.
There is a beach where they also feed. But there is a problem with the Internet, there is Wi-Fi, but there is no Internet.
There is Wi-Fi with internet in the hotel rooms, everything works. The room has a safe, free of charge. The fridge in the room is weak. And so basically everything is clean, not gouging. Very cozy. The air conditioner works well.
Once we went to the hammam and for a free mini-massage.
Breakfast from 7 am. You can eat almost all day long. Waffles + ice cream by the beach every day. There were no problems with drinking water.
The food is very tasty. True, for the most part we ate everything standard and well-known, but, of course, an incredible amount of sweets.
Went once to the A la Carte restaurant for free.
The hotel itself + animation is more tailored for families (with children).
By minibus you can go to the city in the shopping center, 15 minutes, low prices for clothes.
We miss you very much)))

Everything was excellent from the friendly staff to the intersting animation. Hotel overlooking the lake. The hotel is located in a great location, just a 20-minute drive to the sights. Large bright, spacious rooms. The hotel has a playground and even a children's room, so you can go here with children. You can take a steam bath in a Turkish bath.

Rest 10 out of 10.

Rested with children (1 year, 12 years and 22) in July 2019. We arrived at the hotel at 9-30 in the morning, check-in at 14-00, immediately put bracelets on us, immediately went for breakfast in the toilet, changed our swimwear and went to the pool, of course at that time there were no free sunbeds, we had to suffer with a small child, The receptionist gave us the room at 12:30 pm.

On the 3rd day, the rest was almost over. In the morning, for 3 days, I found the child had bites, at first I thought about mosquitoes, because I didn’t know anything about the Coxsackie virus, on the 4th day there were more bites, a friend said that it was an allergy, but it didn’t look like an allergy, on the 5th day the temperature jumped 39.8 could not bring it down, it would drop to 38 and again to 40, on the 6th day the temperature dropped to 37.2 but the rash went all over the body. Only then did I read about the Coxsackie virus on the Internet, the pharmacist went to the pharmacy and confirmed the diagnosis.
I began to pay attention to other children, it turned out that there were many of them, some mothers called the doctor and went to the hospital, where the diagnosis was confirmed. The hotel workers themselves deny that they have the virus in the hotel.
About nutrition:
The food is excellent, a variety of meat turkey, chicken in any form. Sea sweets, vegetables for every taste (fried, steamed, stewed). You can feed a child without problems, cereals, soups, fruits, everything is there, at any time of the day. Service for all 100.
The sea is very far away, you can go by bus, the bus runs every hour. The room is clean, cleaned every day.
In Turkey for the first time, if not for the virus, then everything would be fine.
With my review, I just want to warn those who are traveling with children, you are going to the sea, do not swim in the pool, there is all the infection. And the hotel is excellent.

Hello. Got to the Internet. He promised honest feedback. Writing. We were in this hotel from 17 to 26 April. Chosen by price and rating. We are the first time in a hotel that is so far from the sea. I have a problem with my legs, so I always chose a hotel on the 1st -2nd line. From the sea no more than 300 meters.

Hello. Got to the Internet. He promised honest feedback. Writing.
We were in this hotel from 17 to 26 April. Chosen by price and rating. We are the first time in a hotel that is so far from the sea. I have a problem with my legs, so I always chose a hotel on the 1st -2nd line. From the sea no more than 300 meters. And even closer. We decided on Lake River because of the ultra all inclusive. We have never tried this food system, we always took it inclusive. I wanted to spit on the remoteness of the hotel from the sea, for the sake of ultra. Imported alcohol, good food, 24 hour bar. . . Dream! Price arranged. We were three. Me, wife and son. Booked and paid for tickets immediately, back in early February. Early booking.
The first and last day was stolen from us (arrival at the hotel at 2330 on the first day and departure from the hotel at 350 in the morning on the last day). Not the hotel's fault, of course. And Anex Tour. It's a shame. 9 nights and 8 days turned out.
Now for the pros and cons. The hotel is large, the service in restaurants and bars is excellent! Everything is fast, with smiles and without problems! Is the room cleaning? None. On the floor in the bathroom under the washbasin, a fallen napkin lay all the time until we removed it ourselves when the room was vacated. No one even lifted it, did not even wipe the floors... But okay.
According to the concept of the ULTRA hotel, it was supposed to start on April 25th. This is our last full day at the hotel. We were waiting for him, we wanted to try this option. But nothing has changed. alcohol is not imported in the bar. To our questions, we were told that the director said that ULTRA would be from May 1st. But what about the concept of the hotel? SILENCE! People arrived later to enjoy imported alcohol with 25, but here.... Bummer. We inflated the topic in the group and in the evening, at 19 o'clock, imports appeared. Though in the evening, but still, the leadership changed its original decision. THIS MAKES ME HAPPY! . Big + hotel!
Now more about the pros. The alcohol is varied, the cocktails are delicious, beautiful, all with soul. There was enough for everyone and no queues. Food, as in ordinary 5 *. There is a choice. Fish for lunch and dinner every day. I am a fish lover. Big + for fish. Meat is always in abundance. There are no problems with food. True, there was almost no variety in the days. The menu was repeated. But it didn't bother me. There were also new dishes, such as shish kebab on a stick and on skewers on the beach. There wasn't a lot of fruit choice. But in general food is also +. The bus to the sea went rarely and not always on schedule. 3 times by bus and 5 times on foot I had to make a route to the sea and back. There is a problem with my legs. This is a minus. But the sea itself. Bathed , although the water is cool . It's not a problem for me, I swim in the hole for Epiphany. Sea +
The hotel for young people is JUST PERFECT! Fun, disco in the hotel and on the road, the animation was, but not yet strongly promoted, the hotel is just entering the season. Jimi and Jamshut are great! Cheerful guys! Hi to YOU! And +
Rest was a success. All + beat cons. We are not the first time abroad, we were in different countries, in Turkey for the 3rd time. There is something to compare. Feedback is honest. Some may agree, some may not. But this is my opinion. And everyone can have their own opinion.
The hotel is recommended for young people in the first place! Will I come here again? If there are no problems with buses to the beach, so as not to wait for it for more than an hour or walk, then probably yes. It's important for me. Let me remind you, I have a problem with my legs. But we also have a rule - each time to a new place. I want to see different countries and cities.
And THANK YOU to Like River, development, prosperity and good tourists!
Good luck to everyone, have a good rest and great weather! I will add those who wish, with whom they rested and communicated as friends.
