I will try to briefly describe my impressions of this “miracle” hotel.
From the outside, the hotel looks decent, but as soon as you go through the reception and go up to the floor, it becomes somehow uncomfortable from squalor. The travel agency said that the hotel was renovated, but this renovation was done either a long time ago or somehow (I'm leaning towards the 2nd option). The rather shabby furniture and the depressing appearance of the bathroom create the feeling that you have ended up in some kind of cheap hotel in the Russian provinces (the wife almost burst into tears from this view). The lingering aroma of charm made me constantly ventilate the room. The handle on the balcony door was broken off (repaired on the 2nd day). A centimeter gap in the same balcony door made it possible to listen to music and the animator without leaving the room (they fixed it after 2 days). The existence of fresheners, not to mention toothbrushes and shampoo bags, is apparently not known here. Moreover, other vacationers with whom I had a chance to talk experienced similar sensations. But we did not come to live in a room after all...
Is the area small? I would say that it does not exist at all, but for me it was a plus - it is difficult to lose children.

Of the sports entertainment, water polo, aqua aerobics and table tennis on a shabby table with dead rackets.
About the dining room. The food seems to be varied, but essentially the same thing, the trouble with soups. Disappointed by the lack of tablecloths on the tables. Cutlery lying without napkins on a bare table does not look very aesthetically pleasing, especially seeing how some waiters wash these tables... Well, several times the water in the cooler was stale.
There is a shuttle service to the beach at a special location. The most frightening thing was the draft that was walking in this wagon without windows (it can be called a bus with great difficulty), since it was a 5-minute drive. The beach bar is a vending machine with several kinds of Jupi. It was nice to see how sand was sifted through a sieve on the neighboring beach and it was sad to look at our, to put it mildly, not very clean beach. I won’t talk about the race for sunbeds (I’ve already met somewhere). Well, this uncle, selling his fur coats to vacationers on the beach... No comment.
Animation program for children starts only in the evening and does not suffer from originality from day to day.
All inclusive in the hotel bar consists of local liquor (the Turks call it beer), vodka, gin, wine. So…

The hotel conquered me after one incident. According to their internal regulations, more than two glasses of their precious alcohol are not given to one person. After 22:00, the bar does not let go for free, so a small queue forms by this time. I stand calmly in this queue, I don’t touch anyone. Being already in front of the bartender (by the way, a nasty short-haired type), the manager comes up to me and says that they say to hell with you and not beer, you have so many glasses on the table, and more than two per person is not allowed. To explain that I’m not alone, but there are four of us and there is still where to take, he came up, photographed the table and we counted the container again. But Turkish arithmetic apparently differs from ours, and it was useless for this wonderful director to explain something. For the manager to count glasses of alcohol. . . I think that this is insanity in its most severe manifestation.
Total: sea - 5, hotel - 1.
PS I had to rest in Turkish 3.5 stars. It is impossible to compare closely, what kind of 4 stars can we talk about? Did they stick them on themselves?
Well, an indicator of the level of the hotel is the presence of foreign tourists (not Russians). So during my vacation I did not meet a single one...
