Pros: location in the center of the bay, sandy beach, shallow, level entrance to the sea, half an hour walk along the embankment, evening walk to the old town. Food: vegetables of various types - raw, stewed, grilled; there is fish; gozleme in a cafe on the beach.
Cons: they save on everything. Half of the lights are off; in the main building, out of 3 elevators, two are usually on. Walking up the stairs is long and scary; you can easily twist your ankle in the dark. There is no kettle or any utensils in the room except cardboard glasses. There is no shampoo, no trash can in the room, no napkins. Fruits in the restaurant are represented by oak apples and plums. Fresh oranges cost extra money, coffee and drinks from vending machines are disgusting, as is wine. You can only drink water for free, even beer is disgusting. There are three lamps burning in the room under red lampshades a la brothel, it’s impossible to read.
There is music and shouting in the bar until 12 at night; you can only fall asleep with a closed balcony under air conditioning. Which hums like a vacuum cleaner. But at 7 am, cheerful music is turned on throughout the entire territory, just like in a pioneer camp. Sun loungers on the beach need to be occupied at 8 o'clock, at 9 they are not available. You can only sit down for dinner in the restaurant after 8 pm; there are no tables before. But at 8 there is no longer much food. And at 9 the restaurant safely closes, apparently so as not to eat too much. It doesn’t occur to anyone to organize shifts or at least a queue with seating. It feels like there is no manager at this hotel at all.
