We rested with a friend at the end of September 2010. We did not choose the hotel for a long time, we took it on the recommendation of the travel agency staff. And they didn't regret it! Without any $ 20 we have a wonderful room with a sea view. Lucky, in general. Room cleaning - daily. Tipping was not specially left, they were waiting for the last day. Since everything was worthy, we left the cleaner a decent amount. I was pleasantly surprised by the presence of a free Luna Park, an aqua park (albeit a small one). Animation was all sorts of dancing competitions. A wonderful violinist played every evening at the beach bar. In general, there is almost nothing to complain about. Unless to the unfriendly staff at the reception. The hotel (so they say) has recently been owned by a Georgian, so the unfriendly staff are from our former Soviet republic. Well, let us fie on them.
The hotel area is very large, which is not typical for Turkish hotels. Entrance to the sea from the pier on the carpet. Great! The sea at this time of the year was simply fabulous: warm, clean.
Rest is thought out for everyone: for children there is an amusement park, there is a children's menu. For wheelchair users - a mini-pool on the beach. For athletes - a gym and exercise equipment on the street. Okay, in general.

They fed well. Yes, they feed almost everywhere the same, in Turkey, in Egypt. Try Fatma's cakes, for an amateur, of course, especially with ayran. Exotic. Beer is good, alcoholic cocktails. Real Turkish coffee is brewed at the bar in the lobby of the hotel.
Excursions: we went to Pamukkale. Cleopatra's pool is just a fairy tale. Mineral water +38 degrees all year round. I didn't want to get out. The road is a little tiring - 5 hours after all. But it's beautiful there. By the way, the Turks are building a new road with a tunnel through the mountains, the path to Pamukkale will be reduced by 2 hours. So those who go to Turkey in 2012 will be more pleasant to travel.
We had a good rest on the yacht. The foam party is fun. But it's better to go there with a big group. But in Hamam they offer a trip - don't take it, it sucks. The hotel has a sauna and massage is better. True, the SPA was going to move out with PEMAR. What experts will be in the new season, who knows.
Of course, there are always dissatisfied tourists. They were in our hotel too. It all depends on the mood, I think. We did not expect any frills, we liked everything.
