Just returned from this hotel. It was the most boring vacation of my life. I regretted that I did not go to rest on the river near the dacha....
Before that, I managed to visit the sea coasts of Russia, Ukraine and Egypt.
I’ll make a reservation right away that in Egypt I was in 4 stars and in 5. ( PALM BEACH 4 * and IMPERIAL SHAMS 5 *)
The level of this hotel does not reach the 4 stars of Egypt.
Entering the room, I found that the air conditioner does not cool the room less than 24 degrees, in order to turn it on, you need to come up and press the button on the remote control, which is fixed on the wall near the TV...... that is, at night if you suddenly freeze / sweat and want to turn it on / turn off the air conditioner you will need to get up, come up and press the button.
Coolness problems plagued me throughout the hotel….
The temperature in the elevators was about +45 during the day and +35 at night.

In restaurants, the air temperature was quietly raised towards closing....Up to street temperature. . .
Let's say lunch from 12-00 to 14-00 (On the street +38) in a restaurant at 12-0.26 degrees at 13-0.28 degrees and by 14-00 the same as on the street.
This was repeated everywhere from the reception bar to the dining room and disco.
After 12-00 it’s better not to leave the rooms, they can just kill you..... prices for drinks at the bar
For example, beer that you drink before 24-00 at night in any quantity for free at 24-01 costs 3 euros for a glass of 0.3 l
A glass of Coca Cola 0.2l costs 2 euros…… A bottle of 1.25l costs about 20 euros……
The Hotel has shops on level 0…. The prices in them are not encouraging..... Efes beer 0.5l - $ 4, parliament cigarettes - $ 6
There are no shops around the hotel…. The nearest one is 2km -3km by highway.
The cost of a liter of gasoline in Turkey is about 65 rubles for 95. Therefore, all taxi drivers ask for a lot of money for a short distance.
More on the cons. The hotel has 3 ala carte restaurants… (Chinese Turkish and Italian)
You can sign up for them exclusively at the reception from 10-00 am to 12-00 pm.
The speed of service in these restaurants is amazing . . you can wait for the menu for 30 minutes!!!!
And the whole dinner lasts about two hours....first, waited 30 minutes for the menu, then waited 30 minutes for the food to be brought to you (the first one), and so between each dish there is a 30-minute wait.
Considering that there is nothing to do in this hotel, the wave is notable entertainment.
There are ABSOLUTELY no youth of Russian Ukrainian Belarusian nationality in the hotel...........
But in abundance of Italians and Germans.
The transparency of the sea is worse than in Gelendzhik.
The entrance to the sea is very inconvenient at the bottom full of stones and the depth begins immediately.....
About sand is a separate topic (it was in other reviews)
Now for the pros....
There is a lot of food and it is tasty but always the same (I change only 2-3 dishes from day to day....) but you can eat your favorite dish every day.....

The rooms are new and clean, cleaned every day.
There are water slides and children's houses. The area is beautiful except for the beach.
It's up to you, but I'd rather sunbathe in the country than in this hotel.
A separate respect for the Eli tour operator....in English I don’t remember how 6 hours of delay for departure and 30 minutes on the plane upon arrival..... there is no better in the country!
