When going to this hotel, do not forget to take an iron with you, because it is customary to go to dinner in evening dresses, which have a bad habit of wrinkling in a suitcase, and there is no ironing room or just an iron in the hotel. You can hand over things for ironing, but it's expensive, because things are taken somewhere, or ask at the reception if Zamira works, but all this resembles a detective story with searches, negotiations, secret meetings and hide and seek, so it's easier to take a folding iron with you.

The hotel looks very modest and inconspicuous, although the entrance is richly furnished, with flowers, figures of horses, rams, hares, but behind a simple building there is a palm grove and a palm alley leading to the sea through the dining restaurant. Peace and quiet, and only the lapping of the waves will be heard on the territory of the hotel.
I went together with my boyfriend, and we all really enjoyed it.

We had a room with a view of the mountains - it is very convenient - the shade, and we could enjoy the relative coolness even in the hottest hours, and meet the dawn - the sun is just coming out from behind the mountains. The room is spacious, bright, in beige and white tones. Bath, toilet, sink, 2 bedside tables, bed (2 separate beds connected into one, which had the unpleasant property of moving apart with very sharp and active movements, so we pressed them with bedside tables on the sides), 2 armchairs, a table, a floor lamp, a night lamp, 2 mirrors, one full-length, shelves, wardrobe, pouffe, safe, refrigerator, TV, many hangers, 2 chairs for the balcony (everyone has balconies), clothes dryer, but it’s better to take a rope with you, as the dryer is small , and the towels fly off the railing. The room is supplied with packs of 0.5 liter water bottles.
Cleaned up every day. Each was given a large and a small towel and 1 foot mat for two.
Also shower cap, shampoo, sponge for shoes, cotton swabs and sticks.
The food is very good, varied, lots of vegetables.
Breakfast and dinner were held in a restaurant, where everyone has their own table, and lunch on the street by the sea is very convenient - you can go to the beach to eat and come right back.
For breakfast they gave eggs, sausages, cheeses, sausages, curdled milk, cottage cheese (but very peculiar - salty or spicy), pastries, various jams (including pink), scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs are fried in front of you and how you want. An exciting sight - a friendly chef fries and flips it very quickly!
They are very fond of eggplant and zucchini - in Turkey they cook 40 dishes from them! Therefore, here they were fried, and stewed, made casseroles ...They were everywhere! And they are delicious everywhere!
Lunch, as I said, was by the sea - all kinds of vegetables, herbs, dressings, side dishes, soup (very peculiar), whole carcasses of fish, baked potatoes, chicken, french fries, rice, stewed vegetables, pizza, national flatbreads stuffed with cheese, meat or greens that are baked in front of you (very good with beer) ...And sweets! Fresh juicy oriental sweets! Real jam!
But! The trouble with drinks is beer, soda, tea, coffee and the complete absence of juices throughout Turkey ...
Dinner is a feast! What was not there! Soup, side dishes, rice, pasta, dumplings, vegetables, again eggplant and zucchini, liver, chicken, fish (sometimes smoked, sometimes fried, etc. ), turkey ...Salads (sour for my taste), greens, snacks, barbecue ...And sweets ! Baklava is worthy of praise! Cakes, cupcakes…
Fruits - always and everywhere - watermelons (ours are better), oranges, peaches, oranges, grapes, etc.
There was also dessert from 15-17 when they gave ice cream and sweets by the pool.

You could order a late breakfast, go for a night soup, and if you leave very early and don’t get breakfast, you can order a lunch package that includes an egg, cucumber, cheese, sausage, butter, roll, jam.
And in the evening, of course, cocktails! Under the entertainment program.
Fortunately, there is no animation here - no one bothers, but weighs the schedule at the restaurant, and you yourself choose where to go - games, water aerobics (I really liked it), volleyball, entertainment in the neighboring Sural Otel, in their amphitheater.
The territories of the entire Sural network can be used, except for the Resort.
The hotel also has table tennis (but it’s better to go with your rackets and a ball, because the ball was broken in front of us, but there was no spare), 2 swimming pools - for adults and children, indoor closed, gym, outdoor fitness equipment, spa, where you can visit the hamam (Turkish bath, peeling, foam massage, dead sea mud mask, oil massage) and other pleasant procedures for $ 45. Beach towels are also handed over here until 19 and picked up from 9-11. In exchange for towels, you are given cards, which you must return to the reception upon departure.
Most importantly, the beach! Huge, clean beach! Part of the sunbeds under the palm trees by the pool (occupied by the Germans in the morning) and a lot of sunbeds by the sea under umbrellas. There is no battle for places at any time! And then a wide strip of sand to the sea, where you can frolic. The sea is warm, clean, without stones and animals, only rare fish. The entrance is gentle. For the beach and the sea a solid 5!
And the hotel has its own water sports center with bananas and so on. All around $40.
The hotel is mostly only Germans, our compatriots about 20 pieces. Silence, peace, no fuss, noise, squeak, no children, but in Sural Garden and Sural Otel there are slides, and there are much more children there.
Nearby there is another hotel that has a water park - you can go there for free.
Good hotel for a quiet relaxing holiday.
