We are writing this review while still at the hotel. In general, we consider objective reviews the main salvation of tourists. We have booked many vacations based on the reviews. In Turkey already 9 times, rested a couple of times in 4-kah the rest of the time in 5-kah. This time, quite by accident, I came across a burning tour for a week and we decided not to deny ourselves)). So in order:
There are three of us: me, my husband and a teenager son. Our room was paid for superior. Arrived in the evening, took shape quickly. They gave me a room in the second block on the 4th floor. The room turned out to be a spacious 2-room apartment (without interior doors). The number was given without additional rewards . . ) The key to the room is one and it is antediluvian (this is of course not important, just a fact). The locks and the toilet in the room are generally hoary antiquity, and it looks like it will crumble)) but in fairness, everything works properly. But as compensation - a huge number of different necessary accessories were waiting for us in the room. In the bathroom in branded packaging with the hotel logo - shower caps, body wash sponges, cotton swabs, bar soap, combs in a box, shower gel, shampoo and hair cream. There are three of these in total. A complete set of towels for the shower, face and feet. There are 3 pairs of slippers in a package and a sewing kit in the room. Not every 5-ka provides such a set of accessories. The disadvantage of the room is ONE available outlet for 3 of them. In our time of traveling with laptops and phones, we all could not put them on charge for the night, we had to dodge. The TV in the room is small 14 inches and of course the old type (not flat). There is air conditioning, it works, but the power has not been checked - it is not needed yet, the nights are cool, just open the window and the balcony door. The floor is tiled so that the slippers from the hotel came in handy. There is a safe in the room and it is FREE. (In the description of the hotel it is written that paid). There are warm blankets in the closet.
The food at the hotel is ok. For a 4-ki, I would say that it is very good. There is always beef, chicken or turkey and fish cooked in different varieties and delicious. There are not many fruits (apples, oranges, grapefruit, once there was a watermelon). The staff is very pleased - very friendly, everyone from waiters to cleaners tries to say something pleasant in Russian. In general, the hotel is focused on Russians. There is a woman at the reception who speaks Russian. To her with different questions. But even without it, the staff speaks a little in our native language.

There is practically no territory, there is nowhere to walk, but you can go outside and since there is a road separating hotels and the sea along the beach, you can arrange a promenade along it, walk past other hotels and retail outlets. . . By the way, this is the only entertainment. There is no animation for adults. Just music from the speakers, I do not consider entertainment. Neither during the day at the pool nor in the evening the team does anything, they just turn on the music. Maybe there are animators, but we don't see them. Although we are sitting now on Sunday in the lobby and... in vain - nothing happens. Here we are writing a review to entertain ourselves. . )) By the way, this is also difficult, since Wi-Fi is lousy, that is, it is not. The hotel is half full. Maybe they haven't started yet. . . they opened this season on May 19th. Or maybe they didn’t get confused by the animation and the show. With small children every evening the girl dances to the same songs for 15-20 minutes. While everything. In the afternoon, a couple of children ran with painted faces. But since ours has already grown out of this age, I don’t know the details.
The sea has been stormy for 2 days already, we like to swim in a small storm, ride the waves, but here it is problematic - plates and stones in the water and on the shore, throwing about them not childishly. You have to be content with the pool. Yes, the water is refreshing. 21-23 degrees until warmed up. But this is not a problem, you will warm up in the sun and cool cool. A big minus is that there is no shower, changing cabins and toilet on the beach. Feet in the sand and small pebbles, go to the hotel through the tunnel and in flip flops with grains of sand, the legs are rubbed. Yes, and on the territory you need to go to the pool to wash off the sand, watering cans are only there, but it turns out that they are on the aisle and we are polluting the territory. Vacationers step on the washed sand and bring it into the pool. All this has not been thought through.
So, we do not call anyone to anything, we just stated the facts. Whether it suits you or not, it's up to you to choose a hotel or not. Everyone has their own categories of normality and you can't please everyone. The tour was not expensive for us, we did not expect 5 stars and having collected all the pros and cons, we decided that for us these cons are not catastrophic, so we write that the hotel is normal. And if they fix the bugs, it will be very good!
