We didn’t understand where it’s better to choose a room, I would like a newer one (as I understand it in the upper building), but I also don’t want to walk to the sea for 15-20 minutes. Tell me, is there sadness in the lower buildings?

Hello. As for 4 *, the rooms on the first line are clean, but smaller in size and tired. We took a room in the reception building. So close to the restaurant, and to the exit to Soho. To the sea - 5 min. leisurely. The room overlooked the pool and the sea. There are buildings on the first line and closer to the sea, but the view is not very good if you like to sit on the balcony in the evening. Cleanliness depends on the cleaner. For $1, milk chocolate, roasted sunflower seeds, you get both cleanliness, newer towels (each time with new compositions), and complete sets of cosmetics every day. They gave us a washcloth and a toothbrush and toothpaste as a bonus.

Yes, geese and other assaults on towels, on the contrary, are not needed, we are already thinking how to make them clean up, but not procrastinate towels))
That is, from the reception building 5 minutes to the beach? According to reviews, .15 or even 20 minutes, this is what confuses us the most.
I understand that the main building is the deluxe suites?

Basically, the rooms in the building are standard, but improved. Suites in other buildings.
This they turned down about 15-20 minutes. Maybe you went to a bar near the pool or near the beach? We slowly stomped as a family if VERY slowly with photographing - 10 minutes, if walking - 5 minutes. In addition, there is a bus from the pool and reception.
No matter what the swans are spinning, just tell the cleaner you don't want to. They are very communicative and friendly.
Only at the entrance to the restaurant of the first line is the uncle always in a bad mood. For lunch they always ask what number.
There are also a la carte restaurants (if they are working now) Italian and Asian. You can take a trip to the reception once free of charge by prior appointment. We never went. As we were told by other vacationers, the dishes are almost the same as in the general restaurant, what is there, only cozier.
We went to the old city to eat our signature creamy soup with moriki and shrimp (taxi back and forth - 6-15 $ - haggle!!!)
There are minibuses. It's better to pay in lira)

We lived in the upper building of the lower hotel - very satisfied. The view was over the main entrance to the hotel on the opposite side of the sea - quiet, no noise from the pools. Downstairs - spa, free jacuzzi, sauna, canteen - nearby. We often went to the canteen of the upper hotel, it’s impossible, it seems, but no one forbade it. There it is "richer", the cooks are different - some kind of variety. To the sea - 10 minutes from our room. There's also down the stairs then you have to go down to the beach already. Down is quick and easy. Up - if you're too lazy - transport regularly travels with an amazing driver. He is lucky to the very top of the upper hotel. The rooms are generally the same in terms of decoration, both in the upper and lower rooms. In the lower buildings - suites. We were not there. The plumbing in our room was excellent - everything was sound and reliable, nothing "telepals". did not leak. The furniture is ordinary, but I didn’t take it with me, so I didn’t study it much. For a "van dollar" the cleaner will clean everything in the best possible way, but we didn't really screw it up. Iron and ironing board were in the room.

Do you need to buy a standard or a standard with a refined sea view or garden view for the reception building?
And it’s not clear about the canteens, each territory can only eat in its own or choose any? Someone writes that it is strict, someone who goes to both canteens

I stayed there in 2020. I had a good room on the first line, closer to the sea, sea view. But in this hotel, apart from the room and the territory, I didn’t like anything else. The pools are all cold, not heated. The food is ordinary. Local drinks - wine 20 grams, they themselves bring you ... if you want more, go to them yourself. Sadness from fruits.

Sveta n, while it suits us, the old age of the rooms is more frightening, sometimes there were queues in Spain, well, within reason, it’s not a problem to go for drinks, fruits in general as a bonus, it often doesn’t even come to them)) with corona restrictions in general it has become everything is wonderful
The pools are not particularly interested, it seems that the top one is heated .. yes, we just chill and look at the fish, the main thing for us is that
Not a hut with mold, so that without a tagil there was where to take a walk in the evenings.

Gu.and.Pu, according to vacationers then, the rooms spoke better on the second line (top), they are newer ... there is also a pool, but I was not there. I wrote my experience and fruits are important to me .... but there were practically none there. I asked for a room on the first line, it was an excellent room without mold and incomprehensible smells. In the room I had everything - a bar, a kettle, coffee, tea, creamer, TV, telephone ...... and an ironing board with an iron. I don’t know if there are other rooms on the first line, but I had a cool one with a sea view.

Regarding the choice of room, then $ 10-15 at check-in at the reception will help you choose the one with a sea view) They warn you that you need to go to their restaurants, but they don’t find fault much - they will feed you. We were in March 2021, then on the first line the pool was warm, on the second line only 1 part of the pool worked, where the slides and the water were really cold. They made a special trip for my birthday. A nice bonus is a cake and a fruit basket in the room, as well as a table reservation in a restaurant and birthday service - with flower petals and serving alcoholic beverages. We treated one of the waiters with our cognac and gave us a chocolate bar, so every evening he brought gin and beer to the table without restrictions (wine and whiskey did not like)

The fish there are normal, the reef is not bad (not a nature reserve, but there are many different ones) - we didn’t go to dinner at all on the last day - we ate potatoes quickly in an eatery on the beach so as not to waste time and dive again. By evening, there are fewer fish. In the evening - take a walk near Soho. The pool of the upper hotel is large and heated, but we were not interested in losing time there without fish. At first I was a little taken aback by the simplicity of design, but then I liked that there was no "gilding with dust". Everything is functional. The canteen is not luxurious, but the choice of dishes is large enough, and those who are not satisfied are those who scoop everything up, then leave a full plate, pretending that it is used to "rich", and the next day he needs something new. At home, he eats sandwiches and Mivina. The sea is visible from almost all the rooms that look at the pool, but the noise of the pool is attached to this view. We took just the standard without clarification, sea view and did not crave. It turned out to be correct. It's better to live in silence, I wanted music - I went to the pool, it's loud there

Lena19621987, and we have similar desires, fish, a bite to eat and swim with the fish.
In terms of food, everything is purely individual, the crabs didn’t rest against me at all, they are small and it takes longer to pick them than they are, hunting for shrimp is also not about us, I can eat them here too. We are for warmth and the sea, and divert our heads from everyday life.
Sea view is a bonus, but hardly needed at night

Pisces go swimming in the morning. And keep in mind - the sunbeds there with towels are "marked" by the workers themselves to people for a certain fee from 6 in the morning. Therefore, at the very bottom at 8-10 - all the sunbeds are occupied, but there are only towels. Even though it's against the rules. Under the principle, you can throw them off (one woman with a child - they saw it - did it). We ate quickly and went diving. At 8 sunbeds were still free at the water's edge. There is a bar above the beach - you can have a bite to eat there at lunch if you wish. Not fancy, but fried potatoes and some sandwich. It is better to dive in the morning. And from 15 there are already very few fish. You can leave. Bigger and more diverse reef was seen only "on the road" with a boat. And so in "Si-life" similar. And we saw a lot of fish. Drinking water is not always changed on the beach empty immediately - it is better to grab a bottle with you. Corals are not necessary - the entrance is from the pontoon. If the fins, then fine. You can leave your clothes near the rescue boy. They also have scuba gear there, but we are not that advanced.

Yes, and one more thing - we chose, focusing on the reviews about it - there is no wind there. That's for sure. And then in C-Life, with a strong wind, it’s scary to go into the sea, and you won’t see fish - just lie on the swim. And here indeed the bay is covered from the wind. Well, the cranky say the reef is, like, half dead. Yes, of course, there are brighter places in nature. But for a place where you just came to dive after breakfast (or even before it), and did not get "three days in the forest, two days in the field" - that's it. You swim in an aquarium.

Yes thank you!
There is such a story with sunbeds everywhere, where our tagil and Ukraine are going, that’s why I don’t like such countries, last year they closed their eyes and decided to go to Turkey, people also keep towels on sunbeds for days, but they go on excursions or something. In Greece, Spain, Cyprus, the staff simply collects if they see that a person has borrowed.
About the reef, yes, we are also amateurs, I would say beginners, I was in Egypt for a very long time, well, just if there is an opportunity to see, why not, we definitely have enough fish.
We once again studied all the reviews, reviewed the video, and it turned out that the main problem was not in choosing a room, but in a large area and a very small beach, in the video there is just a crowd.

The rooms are normal there, everything is smooth and functional, in the upper hotel they have a larger area (well, who should dance in the room there). The main thing for me in the room is that the plumbing is not "disarranged" - it was normal, and that it is quiet - on the side of the room from the sea and it was. The footage was uninteresting. The spa is good - right in the building where the reception is. This is for the evening, to warm up after diving. You also need to immediately look - so that there is no nearby "exhaust" hood from the kitchen. And in general - well, I didn’t like the number - we went back immediately, asked to be replaced, explaining the reason. paying at the reception desk 10 bucks for a view of the screaming pool (and he is crossing the sea) is an amateur business. Yes. once in Bangkok, we lived for 2 days in a hotel where in a huge room there is white rococo furniture with gold carvings, view windows in the entire bathroom (you lie in the bath on the 20th floor, and behind the glass walls a huge city shimmers with lights), on the 1st floor - swimming pool. So we ran all day on excursions, half-dead crawled into that luxury - well, what the hell was she?

No, we just need it to be clean and quiet.
Expensive is not necessary, I created a topic to understand what to choose when booking.
But after the video and your explanations, everything became clear, but now the beach, we are already leaning towards the neighboring Concord and an oasis in Sharks Bay.

And when we were there, we heard complaints about food at Concorde. Well, times are changing. And the sea is the same.

In the same place, Soho is nearby - people walk in the evening from everywhere and you can hear opinions about all the hotels.
