Food: no lobster, no shrimp, but there is always enough food. Nobody went hungry. The snack bar served burgers, great pizza, nuggets, french fries. Ice cream daily. 15 minutes walk from the hotel there is a huge supermarket Migros. You leave the hotel, turn right, reach the Sok mini market, turn left, and without turning anywhere, go straight past the beautiful Turkish dachas to the end of the street - and you are in Migros. The closest place from where you can get to Pamukkale. We drove 2.30 one way.
Internet is free at the reception. If connected throughout it costs 2 euros per day for 2 phones. We first connected it for 1 day, as a result, no one turned it off for us and used it for 2 euros all week))) another "+" hotel))) After 15 trips to Turkey, this is probably the first hotel worth returning to with children. The hotel is family run. If you hang out, then definitely not here. We got mega pleasure from the rest!! !
So a little about the hotel:
- located 5 kilometers from Kusadasi in the suburbs

- if you arrive early - you can leave things in the storage room (free of charge), and change clothes there. Bracelets - you get it right away and everything is at your disposal (however, they are not comfortable - because they are fabric with a plastic clasp)

Minibus to Ephesus without a number - but with the inscription Ephesus or Seljuk. It costs 7 lira. Stops on the highway. Go - 5 minutes Take left at the fork - it's faster Entrance - 60 lira Water 0.5 - 2 lira, 1.5 - 5 lira I recommend taking an audio translator (20 lira) + deposit It is hot and there is no shade - therefore, either on a cloudy day or an umbrella + closed clothes with a cap. children under 7 years old - free admission
- you can also travel to their largest water park Fantasia. travel from Kusadasi - 6 lira. Really impressed with the slides. I recommend.
- currency exchange: either banks or exchangers or jewelers
-next to the national park, with good reviews, but. . didn't have enough time, so I don't know. . .
- in restaurants, if the price is not indicated, be sure to check, otherwise they will come up with 2-3 times higher... but the food and service were wonderful.
Overall 9 out of 10.
A special delight is the thermal pool! The water is very salty, cool, clean and, they say, healing. Funny ads near the pool must read!
The hotel is magnificent, the room has bright new furniture, a TV with a Russian channel, air conditioning, a safe (2 euros per day is paid separately), a very good bathroom.
The hotel consists of 2-3 storey houses, several swimming pools, a sandy beach, a very large cafe in which the food and service are extremely tasty, 2 bars, in general, from 7 am to 11 pm you can just walk and eat.
Sunbeds, umbrellas, beach towels - everything is at your disposal, free Turkish bath and sauna.
