I flew with my wife on our honeymoon. We arrived at the hotel at 7:00 in the morning, filled out the check-in forms, put on a bracelet, said check-in at 12:00 - we went to have breakfast, and then to the sea.
It takes 5 minutes to walk across the road to the sea along the path through the woods, in the morning and in the evening it’s a pleasure, but if you go in the midst of the heat, it’s already far away)) You can go straight from the pool so as not to cross the road, there is a tunnel. There is also a shuttle to the sea from the Lake River Hotel, the schedule is at the reception, but we never used it.
There are a lot of sunbeds on the beach under awnings, the beach is sandy, the entrance to the sea is a slab, there is a stony entrance if you go along the central path, if you go a little to the left to the neighboring beach, there is an entrance without a slab, only pebbles.

After the sea at 10 o'clock, I went to the reception again and said that we were newlyweds and warned about this at the travel agency, they immediately gave us a free room, they said that they wanted to make a surprise, but they would do it later because we were tired and we need to quickly settle.
Room: 141.4th floor, issued with a view of the field and mountains, which we really liked, not very large, about 18 sq. m. juices, TV, 3 large and 2 small towels, air conditioning does not work if the handle to the balcony is not closed. They cleaned well, although they did not leave a tip, the bar is replenished only with water, shampoos and gels are also added every day, there is no toothpaste - take it with you. The gift was a bottle of champagne and some fruit - a trifle but nice)
For breakfast: they give pancakes, breakfast cereals, a couple of soups, salads, cheeses, sausages, vegetables, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, baked potatoes, fruits, we had cherries, watermelons, melons, since these fruits are in season in Turkey. There is almost no meat for breakfast, except for low-quality sausages.
Other main courses are added for lunch, meat appears, most often chicken, but sometimes beef and lamb
For dinner, they cook a grill near the amphitheater, sometimes lamb, beef cutlets, chicken.
Also in the restaurant there are coffee machines, tea, juices (it feels like yuppies), there is also a bar in the restaurant, beer, wine, champagne are poured there, if you want other alcohol (whiskey, tequila, vodka, rum), then you need to go upstairs higher on the lobby bar, they make cocktails and pour foreign alcohol, it works from 10 am to 00, in the evening after dinner there is a good queue.
There is a dining area on the beach, open from 12 to 15, here they feed a little more modestly, pasta, french fries, salads, fruits, cakes, there is also a bar that is open from 10 to 17, they pour beer, wine, champagne, water, like and in the restaurant bar.

There are 2 restaurants on the territory, fish and meat, but we never got there, each restaurant is open 3 times a week, for this you need to book on the day of its work at the guest relay counter opposite the reception, that is, you need to come at 8:30 , I once came at this time - there was already a queue and they said that they didn’t take it anymore - there were no places, I didn’t get up at such an early time))
The hotel has 6 floors and the same number of elevators, sometimes you have to wait, as the hotel is fully loaded
You can get a beach towel at the spa center from 9 to 12, and return it until 20, we didn’t get a massage, as we were charged a massage course of $ 20 for 30 minutes
The pool is located on the floor with a restaurant and a spa center, there is another bar nearby, open from 10 to 00, but intermittently, ice cream is also served here from 15-16.
The pool itself is 1.4 meters deep, 40 meters long, from 3 to 7 wide, there is a children's pool and a pool near the slides (1.2 m deep), there are 5 slides that work from 10 to 12 and from 15 to 17, animation in the pool conducts aqua aerobics, play water polo, step aerobics next to it, sunbeds are usually almost all occupied, often people take them and leave, but we always found a place.
Regarding the entertainment program, after dinner at 20:30 there was always a children's disco, at 21 the show starts, we had 4 pm with dance groups, Mr and Miss hotel and bingo (game with gifts like loto), gifts were like massage, 1 a free photo from the photographer and a lot of souvenirs from the local shop.
There is a photographer on the territory of the hotel, he takes $ 3 for a photo, we did not use his services, so I don’t know if it’s possible to bargain
