Traveled as a family with a 6 year old.
Departed from St. Petersburg by Rossiya Airlines at 15.15 Moscow time. The flight went perfectly exactly 3 hours 30 minutes. as promised by the pilot. We were met by Tez tour, we arrived at the hotel in 1 hour 45 minutes, taking into account the time change for 1 hour ahead, we arrived at the hotel at 20.55. At the reception, a Russian girl said that we can have dinner (because dinner is until 21.00) and then fill out the documents.
The next day we came to the BEACH only at 10.00. The sunbeds under the awning were all occupied. We took this into account and subsequently came at 8.00-8.30. Some enjoyed going to the beach in the afternoon and said that there was almost no one there. The road to the beach is 6-7 minutes, even back is not particularly tiring. The beach is sandy, the bottom is a little rocky, but our child (and we even more so) did not experience discomfort when swimming in armlets. The stove is located on the side of our beach and does not cause inconvenience. Once, suddenly, within a minute, a fog came up that "dissolved" somewhere in half an hour, while all the swimmers were asked to leave, and the yachts passing along the buoys looked fabulously frightening.

The territory of the hotel is cozy and green. 2 pools, one with water slides and music. He also conducts aerobics and water aerobics animator Julia (Russian). In general, 90% of Russian tourists are in the hotel, and only on the penultimate day were two of ours barely on their feet, but after a flash of some activity, who went to bed in a timely manner.
FOOD is normal, there was always something to choose from. My daughter is picky about food, she doesn’t even eat well at home, so we didn’t expect anything else.
Strawberries, cherries, melons were sold by the beach. Once a week for dinner (apparently on Wednesdays) there is a "HOLIDAY ACTIVITY". A small bazaar unfolds at the gates of the hotel, photographing with camels, cakes similar to pita bread are made, and tables are set around the pool. At the evening performance, acquaintance with the director of the hotel, the chef, and some other persons, after which the chefs dance halay and distribute sweets to children.
ROOM in general (№435) and the shower room in particular liked. Climbing to the 4th floor toned. The room has a laminate on the floor, which is excellent (there are tiles in other hotels).
IN THE EVENING you can walk along the alley of fountains, at the very first intersection there are shops and a pharmacy, and if you go a little further along the alley, you will meet bars and even more shops. At 21.00. children's disco, followed by a show for adults (comedy club variations, the choice of Miss Hotel, hotel couples, etc. ). All the animators (Alex, Yunus and another Turkish girl, it seems) were loved by children and pleasant to adults.
I especially liked the HAMAM ON THE TERRITORY OF THE HOTEL. "Administrator" Farhad - a native of the Soviet Union, speaks Russian. You can discuss all the nuances with him and bargain (especially if you take several massage sessions). I took a full body massage for an hour - phew! - next time I'm in Turkey I'll definitely take it. Individual approach: the same person works with you in the bath, massages and puts on a mask. I draw attention because a few years ago we encountered a conveyor flow and something very similar to a queue for a group of tourists who took a hammam from a tour operator.
MINUSES:
- one evening and all night the air conditioner in the whole building did not work

- for about 3 or 4 days the slides in the hotel did not work (problem with the compressor)
However, the cons did not affect the overall impression of the rest.
