We arrived late in the evening, offered a light dinner, settled quickly. The room is good. Large wardrobe, two beds, a huge mirror with a table. Apparently after renovation. Cons of the room: the air conditioner blows clearly on the bed, right in the face. It is not regulated as it should, so it was difficult to sleep at night. It was turned on, then turned off. With turned off in July, there is nothing to breathe. But when blowing in the face is also uncomfortable. Direction and force are adjusted incorrectly. The built-in refrigerator in the cabinet was desperately heated. Then it was changed, but the other was heated in the same way. Therefore, when the cabinet was opened, 50 degrees of air was blown out on us. The refrigerator itself cooled only if you put water on an iron box, which was the cooling element in the refrigerator) But, there was always cold water in the bar in unlimited quantities, so the refrigerator was not really needed. The window overlooked the mountains and the mosque, it was quiet at night. After Minsk, it’s even too quiet) Only prayer in the mosque at five o’clock in the morning is very loud and unusual. We were in Turkey for the first time, as I understand it everywhere they have it.
A day later, the hotel was filled with tourists, apparently to the eyeballs, there were a lot of people, mainly from the Russian Federation and Ukraine.
The food was good, not enough seafood. There are almost none, except for fried fish sometimes. Super stewed vegetables, fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs, salads, rice is excellent and constantly different, sweets are a bit monotonous. In general, for not very fastidious, everything is fine. The bar does not have a lot of variety of drinks, but there is always something with ice)

What was annoying was the music. At first it pleased (it seems to be called "music of angels") relaxing. But it turned out that it sounds constantly, hundreds of times every day. On the third day it became annoying. There was no Turkish music at all. It's a pity. In Turkey, it should sound, I think so. Dirty dishes are quickly cleaned in the dining room, everyone is polite. There is no territory, but it did not bother us. Slides work on schedule, the pool is fun. Another minus is access to the sea. It is very close. You need to go over the bridge, by the way, it has a wonderful view. But, the descent one closest is closed! It can be seen that the territory was bought out, she asked with grass, you can’t walk there. You have to bypass private buildings, which is quite stressful in the heat. But not very far, 5-7 minutes and you are on the beach.
The beach is a different story) by the end of the week we finally realized that going out to sea is different and it depends on the waves and the time of day. In general, the beach is pebbly. It is almost impossible to walk without shoes. But the surf line was constantly changing. One day it was very stormy and the pebbles were completely washed away! And the beach was sandy! The coarse sand is very pleasant. Then the pebbles returned) after lunch the sand appeared again) but there are always pebbles in the water and it is dumb. It is better to swim right away and not go there. The sea is amazing! Such a real, with waves, the sound of waves, amazing saturated color. (Were in Greece, there is a little different). It was there, on this beach, that I really liked the sea. There are almost always enough sun loungers, but sometimes you have to wait if more than one is needed. There are mattresses for almost everyone, somewhere newer, somewhere not very good, but quite normal. There is a shower to wash, toilet. During the day, good food right on the beach in the bar. Cool grilled chicken, cheese, vegetables. Ice cream from 15:00 to 16:00.
There was an amazing performance by the dancer. It's called belly dancing. But it was more than just such a dance. What a really cool dancer, be sure to look, you will be surprised that it is even possible to dance like that)
The main cons for us: very poor housekeeping. You can say no to her. They just laid out the sheets beautifully and that's it, they removed the garbage, somehow wiped the floor, and then, I had to ask the reception to clean up better.
Lack of variety of music (every day the same thing) and wi-fi only in the lobby, near the pool and places on the beach. Perhaps that's all. Everything else is quite good.
The main plus: very polite staff, no one is rude, almost everyone understands Russian, many speak Russian.

We have never been anywhere else in Turkey, there is nothing to compare with. If you are looking for a good hotel at a reasonable price, this is the place for you. Or pay more for delicious food and palm-fringed grounds.
Our vacation went well, the impressions are positive.
Tour Tip: Be sure to visit at least something. Near the hotel there is a gas station, there are good prices for excursions. We rented a car there. We went to Green Canyon - a must visit! And a little further if you walk - there are even better prices.
Have a nice rest!
