Hello! I want to share my impressions about the hotel, because. I myself constantly read reviews on this site and all kinds of information related to holidays in a particular country.
We were brought to the hotel in the afternoon, settled immediately. As usual, we invested $20 in our passport so that they would immediately give us a decent number. And so it happened. Standard room on the third floor overlooking the pool, not the road, which we were so afraid of. The room is not big, in bright colors. Everything worked fine. The room has two beds, chairs, bedside table, wardrobe. Pleasantly surprised by the floor covering - carpet. There is a safe in the closet that we didn't use. They freely left a video camera, a laptop, a camera on the pedestal, nothing was missing. Paid mini-bar. And in the closet there were two thin towels with which you can go to the beach, it costs 1€ to exchange them for clean ones. But, as we noticed, many tourists took terry towels from the bathroom to the beach, or initially came with their own. The room was cleaned every day. We constantly left tips, once we forgot, but this did not affect the quality of cleaning.
The territory of the hotel is large enough, well-groomed, beautiful. There is a main restaurant in the main building, several bars throughout the territory. Also, several pools. The largest one consists of several parts flowing into each other. And two smaller ones - one with slides that worked from 10.00 to 12.00 and from 15.00 to 17.00, the other - relaxation behind the building and an indoor pool. There is also an amphitheater, a football field, a playground, an outdoor sports ground, a summer disco, etc.

The service at the hotel is absolutely perfect. A bit unusual abundance of Russian in the hotel. It was interesting to watch how in the bar two Germans with a terrible accent tried to explain in Russian to the bartender what they want from him. So, who does not want to hear their native language around, you are not here. And in general, as we understood, the hotel is focused on families with children. A lot of attention is paid to all sorts of mini clubs and children's entertainment. For example, an amusement park on the territory of the hotel with various carousels, mainly for children. We did not like the animation, we expected more in this regard from Turkey. At about 10.00 on the beach, a recording with the schedule of the animators' program began to sound from the loudspeaker. And the animators themselves also had to be looked for. None of them walked along the beach and did not invite anyone anywhere. So, those who want an active holiday in the hotel will have to explore everything themselves. In the evenings, children's cartoons and various animated shows were shown in the amphitheater. Once there was a foam party on the beach.
The food is just excellent. The only thing that may be missing is pork, this is known from every review. There have always been - chicken, turkey, fish, various soups, pasta, potatoes in various forms, eggs, several cheeses, sauces, a lot of vegetables, buns. Lots of sweet pastries. From fruits - apples, pears, plums, oranges, strawberries, watermelons, melons. Ice cream for a fee. Standard juices, and all sorts of cola, forfeits. You can have a bite to eat on the beach and in other cafes. It was not difficult to find a free table either during breakfast, or during lunch, or during dinner, regardless of whether we came at the beginning or at the end. On the street near the main restaurant in the evenings there was always live music. In general, we were very pleased with the food.
Well, now about the most important thing - the sea and the beach. The hotel has its own pebble beach, to which a beautiful alley leads, you can walk on foot, or you can drive up in an electric car. Entry into the sea is a large pebble, but it did not provide any particular inconvenience. There is also a pontoon for those who want to go down the ladder into the water. There are enough sun loungers even under a canopy for everyone, no matter what time you come, I'm not talking about places without cover. The only thing that depends on the time is how far from the water you lie. On the beach there are two inflatable children's pools, a shower, two trampolines. Photographers are constantly walking around, offering their services (free photo session, but one processed and printed photo is $ 5), a representative from the Turkish bath, Turks riding a parachute, a banana. The sea is very clean with big waves that are so interesting to jump in. This is where the main difference between Turkey and Egypt is the sea. You will not find beautiful fish and corals here, but you can jump on the waves to your heart's content.
The weather was wonderful throughout our stay. +36 during the day and +24 at night, and a very warm sea!

During the rest we went on one excursion - in Pamukkale. I liked the tour, it was quite easy to transfer the road. Of the minuses - constant visits to textile centers, liquor stores, an onyx store. Goods in these stores are much more expensive than in local markets, and you can’t bargain in the store. And yet - I did not like the food (lunch and dinner) during the tour and paid drinks.
Souvenirs can be bought cheaper in shops opposite the hotel across the road.
There is free Wi-Fi in the hotel lobby, which is pretty decent.
In general, we liked the rest, the hotel is worthy, just for its price. So we recommend it to everyone. The main thing is to go in a good mood and not bother over trifles, because you are going to rest!!! !
