The hotel (main building and grounds) is very beautiful, large-scale, spacious, clean. Too spacious. We came for passive rest, comfortable accommodation and good food (which is why we chose a 5 star hotel). Before that, we rested in Greece, in 4 * hotels
Number.
The room in the main building fully met the top five. Lots of nice little things in the room that make the stay unforgettable. For example, its own dressing room is very comfortable with a code and inside which there is also a safe. Everything worked simply and well. Amazing cleanliness, as if no one lived there before you. Towels were changed every day. The room itself, where the beds are not very large, but the corridor in the room is quite spacious, you won’t trip over each other. A good, not small bath, and from which there is a spacious toilet that closes with a door. In addition to soap, shower gel, and hair shampoo, they give hand cream, hair balm. There are "do not disturb" and "cleaning required" indicators in front of the door on the outside. And NOBODY will knock on you if the "do not disturb" indicator is on and they will come to clean up at your convenience. The minibar was replenished daily (chips, nuts, chocolate, cola, fanta, sparkling water, still water, cherry juice and peach juice, beer, energy drink). Kettle, several types of tea, sugar, coffee, dry cream. The balcony is very spacious. And three phones. Both in the bathroom and in the toilet. Near the bed all the necessary buttons (do not disturb, get out and the main light in the hallway).

The first night we spent the night in a bungalow. The bungalow is very different from the rooms in the main building.
WIFI
He is everywhere. Even in the room. For several days the hotel was half empty and I even watched movies on the Wi-Fi in the room. But then the hotel overflowed and I couldn’t watch movies anymore. But everything else worked great!
Beach
Large, clean beach. The sun loungers are not new anymore. But in general it's ok. In mid-October it was under 30 degrees. And the warm sea.
Territory
We boarded the "local tram" near the grotto. And we saw the entire territory of Starlight and Sunrise. Like in a dream. Impressive in daylight. In the evening, the area is quiet and all the fuss is in restaurants, bars and in the amphitheater. Walking is more fun in daylight.
Nutrition
The dishes really often came across unwashed. I had to choose. The food is monotonous. The choice is small. Every day grilled salmon (with bitterness, because frozen) and pangasius (boiled and fried). I haven't tried meat. As well as rice and mashed potatoes (or grilled) and always french fries.
Lots of fresh vegetables, herbs, as well as grilled vegetables (very tasty). There was also a table with cold dishes and vegetables. Since last dinner. Didn't even try. Some cheese. Ice cream, desserts came across very tasty (not all). A truly delicious meal can only be in a la carte.
Grotto.
The restaurant in the grotto is very convenient for those who are not ready to go to the room from the beach and take the time to get themselves in the right shape for the main restaurant. That is, right from the beach in slates and in a bathing suit, you can have a full lunch and afternoon snack right on the street, right in flippers.
General

The hotel is big and has a lot to offer. I recommend spending the first day studying it. Because it really takes time. Suppose I did not immediately find out that there is some kind of pizza in the grotto. I didn't really like the Gozleme cakes. Although I think with meat quite. I liked how technically they are baked. Also keep in mind that half an hour before the end of Gö zleme, you should not queue. You may not have enough test. Also, do not take in a lot, on the basis that you are not alone here. In restaurants, they begin to quickly remove food, that is, if they start to remove it, then after 5 minutes it will not be there at all. Be careful, dinner is only two hours. From 7 to 9. When we didn't have time to eat and came for a late dinner - there was a super small selection and no fruit. Plus it's too late a meal for a good night's sleep. I recommend the indoor pool. it works until 8pm. The water is comfortable and do not burn from the sun. There is also a gym, which I saw on the last day))) Those who are used to small cozy hotels will take a long time to get used to a completely different atmosphere. I noticed that hotel guests do not greet each other very much, a great influence of Russian culture is felt. You walk along chic corridors, ride in chic elevators, and only German grannies friendly meet your eyes, and of course the staff. In order for you to be fully satisfied with the service in the room, write your requests on a piece of paper. For example, I do not drink cola and other things at all. And two bottles of water were never enough. She asked me to replace one with the other. Everything was done. Any questions to the staff below should be asked very clearly and firmly. Your half-hearted question may leave them indifferent. Everything at the reception is great. There is always a Russian speaker who will answer all your questions. In general, in Turkey you feel like in Russia. Because every second person speaks good Russian. And the atmosphere is a bit Russian. Near the hotel there are supermarkets, bazaars, pharmacies, taxis. Young girls will not avoid flirting. But if you kindly show that you do not like it, they will ask for forgiveness. And a separate issue is photographers. Wish them more clients and look forward. After 5 days they will lose interest in you.
In general, the holiday went very well. Comfortable clean room with internet and very warm weather did their job. Thanks to their nutrition, we did not bring extra pounds, as is usually the case)!
