Let's start with the advantages of this hotel: a warm wonderful sea. In the lobby (at the reception) there is Wi-fi, weak, but you can use it. You can find a place to eat at almost any time. If you speak German, consider yourself lucky, you will be understood. The room has a TV set with three channels in Russian. If you are flying with TEZ TOUR, then you are lucky again, the hotel has a wonderful guide Olesya, he solves problems at once. In the evening you will not get bored, competitions, entertainment works, discos with both paid and free drinks. During the day water polo, beach volleyball, step and water aerobics. Animators for adults work on the conscience.
Shopping: Everything you need and not so much you can buy on site, or in the bazaar 5 minutes walk from it.
That's probably all.
Now about what did not please:

Rooms: very tiny rooms that are hardly cleaned. You can try to negotiate with the administration of the reception and check into a family room, it is much larger. We got it, for only 100 bucks. The ventilation in the toilet does not work at all, therefore, having a rest with a family of 4 people was not sweet. Although there are excellent toilets in the hotel, they had to be used in order not to leave doors and windows open for ventilation. The safe in the room is paid, $ 3 per day + $ 10 deposit for the key. Drinks in the free mini-bar had to beg, put reluctantly. Kander works only if the door to the balcony is tightly closed (which did not close tightly from the side of the balcony). We met a Russian woman there, she changed her number three times because of bugs (!!! ). I didn’t see bedbugs myself, but there were bites on the child, for which I don’t know, but there are no mosquitoes and midges there.
Meals: You won't leave hungry, but you won't be able to pamper yourself either. Monotonous menu. "Children's table" is only for breakfast and it always consists exclusively of french fries, pasta and sausages. Well, vegetables in different variations. At lunch and dinner, you will feed the children from the "common table", and this is mainly spicy Turkish food. If desired, of course, you can find dishes suitable for the child, but it will be the same every day (pasta, potatoes). Soups for children are not provided. They are (two types, tomato and white, both puree soups, there were variations of these soups with pasta and without), but on the "common table", which means a lot of seasonings and spicy. For breakfast, you can enjoy freshly squeezed juice for 1.5 euros. I do not recommend regular juices for distribution, flavoring, dye and water. In children, even on the skin there were stains from this "juice", which were not washed off for a long time. You can also drink cola, sprite lemon, it seems not bad drinks. Beer is not bad, white wine too, but red is sour. But this is all for an amateur. As for restaurants by appointment (a la carte)... I highly recommend the fish restaurant, everything is delicious, romantic, on the seashore, with live music... But I would rather not go to Turkish. Left hungry. From the middle of dinner, the children had to be taken to an ordinary restaurant, so that at least they could eat something. But again, it's a matter of taste. Fruit shock. I never thought that green fruits can be served in Turkey in the month of July! Ripe melons have never been tried at the hotel, watermelons are also most often green. Plums are delicious, grapes are delicious, but rotten in places. Apples and pears like nothing. Everything. There were no more fruits. Bananas, however, were given once in 10 days, cut, apparently they also cut off the rot. They didn't taste bad though. For my birthday (I celebrated there), the hotel gave me a present, a whole plate of rotten fruit was brought to the room. It would be better not to disgrace and bring nothing at all. We rested with a large company (we are from Russia and relatives from Germany), well, we also made friends with the company there, it turned out we were 8 adults. One evening we decided to relax and drink beer, the whole company went to eat "night soup", and I went with a German relative to order a beer before closing. She somehow persuaded me to give her 4 glasses of beer. I came up a little later and also asked for 4 glasses of beer. I was told that since I was alone, then I was entitled to one beer. Then they asked what table I was going to sit at, looked and said that you already had enough beer there (already 4 glasses! ). The arguments about the big company did not convince them. Brazenly, looking into my eyes, they turn off the light and say that everything is closed, they don’t give beer anymore. And they didn't. and in the morning we told the situation to the "gaster" Gulya. The bartenders were scolded, and "pardons" of rotten fruit were again brought to our room.
Beach and pools: The sea is amazing!! ! Warm and transparent, but to reach it, you need to run 50 meters on hot sand. This is problematic with children. The flooring is made only in the area of ​ ​ sunbeds, which cannot be moved closer to the sea. So if you want to sunbathe on a lounger, then be prepared to run 50 meters to the sea to swim. In neighboring hotels, sunbeds (and plank flooring) are located 10-15 meters from the sea. This can be seen by walking along the wonderful promenade, which should be written down in the pluses of the hotel. Pools (2 large and 2 for children) smell of bleach, but tolerable. If you expect to ride water slides whenever you want, I'm sorry - the slides work 1.5 hours in the morning and 1.5 in the evening, but in general, at a convenient time. If your child is denied a second helping of free ice cream, don't be discouraged, just walk up and bark at the ice cream dispenser, preferably in German. You will immediately be given everything you want. It's all inclusive after all. Beach towels will be given to you once free of charge. If you want to change, be kind enough to pay 1 dollar for each.
Animation Entertainment As I said, adult animation is on top, but for children... I have not seen it. Although there is a playground, not bad, declared as a playground with animation, but for 10 days, except for the parents, no one entertained the children there. The site has a swimming pool, a rabbit in a cage, swings, slides and a children's toilet (again, this should be attributed to the pluses).

Well, in general, go to rest in a good mood and preferably in another hotel (I think for the money that this hotel asks for a vacation, you can find something better). Have a nice rest and good mood!! !
