I visited the hotel in October 2022, I really liked it, I will come again.
The rooms in the bungalow are clean, the furniture and plumbing are new, the bed is clean, the linen is changed regularly.
Wi-Fi is fast, free, throughout the hotel, and even on the pier)))
The restaurant pleased with goodies, especially for dinner. They gave different grilled meat, fish, lyulya, and so on. There are different types of ice cream. Clean tablecloths, attentive waiters, fast service. The quality of alcohol is good, the choice in the bars is large. I expected more from the restaurant alacard...but they didn't bring anything super.
The beach is spacious, pebbly, there is enough space for everyone, the pier is magnificent. Depth immediately - and 3 meters from the shore will not be, as already with the head. The water is very clean. At night, the pier is beautifully illuminated, it is pleasant to walk there.
The animation is just great, new artists are invited every day. There is even a signature song about the Gipsophila Hotel. Do you know what this name means?
This is a flower that grows on land rich in gypsum (chalk). You can look online to see what it looks like.
The atmosphere in the hotel is pleasant and friendly, all requests are immediately responded to. In general, everything is fine ...Only illiterate Turkish old women, room cleaners, who do not understand English, rattle their damn carts very loudly, which they constantly roll somewhere, and interfere with sleep after dinner! Administration! Buy them new ones, with silent wheels! And so that they stop yelling something loudly to each other, in Turkish, near the door to the room, which is also annoying!
This is the only thing I didn't like. Otherwise - I'm just delighted with the hotel, thank you all.

The location is good, the beach is wide and there is always enough space for everyone. The food at the hotel is good. The building is not multi-storey, but two-storey villas. There are no elevators or corridors. The location is very good. The hotel has Internet, but it is not very good, although it caught in the rooms.

Although we went without children and were not interested in animation, but it was. In general, everything was fine with our room, no questions, and we were quickly settled. Good hotel.

We stayed at the hotel in the spring of 2019. We arrived on the 1st day of the opening season of the hotel. At the reception I met a very polite and smiling boy (unfortunately I don’t remember his name). We were immediately sent for lunch, because we arrived 15 minutes before the end of lunch. After that, they immediately settled in a good room, without any additional payments and persuasion.

We stayed at the hotel in the spring of 2019. We arrived on the 1st day of the opening season of the hotel. At the reception I met a very polite and smiling boy (unfortunately I don’t remember his name). We were immediately sent for lunch, because we arrived 15 minutes before the end of lunch. After that, they immediately settled in a good room, without any additional payments and persuasion. Our room was on the 2nd floor 2707 overlooking the garden. A wonderful mood in the morning was delivered by the singing of birds when the door to the balcony was opened. Good furniture, clean bed. Cleaning daily, change of towels on request. Shampoo, shower gel, caps, bar soap, it was all there. The only nuance of the room, we lived with komashki in the bathroom. The territory of the hotel is well-groomed, clean, green!! ! Meals: they cook delicious, varied, not very greasy, without an abundance of spices. Of the fruits were apples, bananas, oranges, pears, strawberries. Very tasty pastries! A huge selection of dry breakfasts, which I have not seen before, is a variety of seeds, raisins, poppy seeds, dry mulberries for breakfast! Seafood was a little lacking. But when visiting a fish restaurant (1 time for free during the stay), they were treated to slightly different dishes, including. and shrimp, squid. The difference between the menu in the fish restaurant and the main one was very pleasing. Drinks are standard: locally produced alcohol, unnatural juices, similar to yupi. When the hotel was full, queues began to form during the day at the bar for drinks, in the evening at dinner at the barbecue. I want to note the change in the concept of the hotel this year for the better: change of beach towels for free, ice cream for dinner for free, free safe in the room, Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. Separately, I want to note the animator Olga, a very sincere, cheerful, hospitable girl. Every day she inquired about the quality of our vacation and in every possible way influenced its changes for the better. Animation for adults is rather weak, although there was also water polo, and shooting from air rifles, darts, the evening disco ended at 23.00))) But, basically, they entertained themselves. Turkish night was marked by a concert (dancing). Children's animation: the child disappeared for days in a mini club, it was problematic to get her out of there: they painted, played darts, put aqua makeup on their faces, and what surprised me sooooo much, they played minigolf !!! ! Evening mini-disco is monotonous, like everywhere else but my daughter was happy. Homam is positioned free, but when visiting it without a paid massage, they tried in every possible way to expel us, motivating for various reasons (once they assured that the stone was broken))) This misunderstanding was resolved. In general, all the staff are very attentive and smiling. Not one of our requests was left without consideration and decision. I want to note our guide, Kemal, very unobtrusive. He answered all questions, gave recommendations on independent trips, asked about our intentions on excursions, but did not impose anything !!! ! For which special thanks to him! A very interesting contingent of vacationers: most of the Russians, there are Germans, Poles, Ukrainians, and everything is "on the positive", sociable. The rest went "with a bang", the impressions should be enough for a long time! I recommend this hotel for families with children!

We rested in the period from 09/09/2018 to 09/19/2018, the three of us: me, my wife and a daughter of 5 years old. Very spoiled the impression of the hotel the first night of rest, although in general I liked the hotel. But I want to tell you more about this. We arrived around midnight and were put into a room on the third floor, which was quite tidy, but... there was a 120 cm wide double bed where we had to sleep with my wife. Another bed was 80cm wide for my daughter. There was also a small folding chair. To be honest, I have never seen double beds of this width anywhere, and this is also a 5-star hotel! I must say that the hotel is located between the sea and the road - the Antalya-Alanya highway, the rooms are in 3-storey houses, the balconies overlook the sea, and the doors of the rooms are in the opposite direction, which is generally very successful. But the last 2-3 rows of houses near the freeway is the finish line. Our house was the closest to the highway, 15 meters maximum. So okay, just that, there was absolutely no soundproofing in the room itself, there was a gap of 5 centimeters under the door, in addition, the sound from passing cars was amplified by the echo. Personally, when I lay on the bed, I had the impression that the cars were driving right over my head.
We immediately demanded to be moved to another room, to which the staff said that this is now impossible, come in the morning, we will talk. The only concession was that the folding armchair was covered with an additional set of linen. As a result, despite a very difficult day on the road, at night my wife and I managed to sleep for a maximum of 3 hours.
In the morning, our strength was very undermined, and without swearing, we simply demanded to be moved to a room with a normal 2-bed. The most interesting thing is that they also objected and hinted that, they say, we want a lot and that this is an absolutely standard bed. As a result, we were given key cards for two rooms so that we could look for ourselves. Both were with a bed 150 cm wide, one was also in a cottage near the road, the second was in the second row from the road, partly blocked by another house. When we asked for a room away from the road, they said yes it would, but let's stay one more night in the same room. And we can only move once. I stated that there was no question of any nights in the same room, and in the end we moved into another room on the same day on the 2nd line from the road, by the way, also on the 3rd floor. Of course, you can also hear cars, which you need to get used to, but at least several times less.
The most interesting thing is that the hotel is generally good, the territory, although small, is very well thought out, the food is delicious and varied, the staff is quite friendly, the Ala carte restaurant is also very good. We would happily recommend this hotel to friends or come back ourselves next year. But the first impression was unceremoniously and irrevocably spoiled, and it can no longer be changed. How much we traveled and lived near the road, but never in a room with such terrible soundproofing. But there were quite a lot of free rooms with a normal bed. This is confirmed not only by observations, but also by how easily we were relocated. Most likely this is either a desire to make money on the settlement or just human stupidity. As a result - do not recommend!

Rest is called: "pay and suffer. " At the moment, settled in this hotel and so far in shock. This is not a 2 star hotel. If, without going into details, then these are miserable rooms with smelly and rattling air conditioners, pancake-shaped pillows, the owner of the hotel did not hear about double beds and blankets at all, about shampoos and other nonsense in the bathroom too (there are none) as and there are no bathrobes with slippers (it's like a "five").

A huge "plus" is the location of the vaunted bungalows near the freeway (stink and noise). That's all for now. Let's stay here and update the review.

So, let's begin! At the beginning of my story about Gypsophila (or Gypsophila in Turkish) a small educational program for those who come to Turkey for the first time. You can always be distinguished from those already living or coming more than once and not only by the lack of a tan. You sit sadly at the reception waiting for a room or, even worse, you go with things in jeans, socks and dark T-shirts to the sea.

So, let's begin!
At the beginning of my story about Gypsophila (or Gypsophila in Turkish) a small educational program for those who come to Turkey for the first time.
You can always be distinguished from those already living or coming more than once and not only by the lack of a tan.
You sit sadly at the reception waiting for a room or, even worse, you go with things in jeans, socks and dark T-shirts to the sea. After 5-10 minutes, you start to melt and, completely annoyed, go back to sit and get bored under the air conditioner.
Dear "beginners", do not torture yourself and especially children. If you have chosen a 5* hotel, you have paid decent money, so why waste time?!
When packing luggage in your home country, put swimsuits, slippers and at least one towel in your hand luggage. We arrived, registered at the hotel and that's it, you are guests, you can enjoy all the benefits. You leave your suitcases at the reception (believe me, no one needs them), just check at the counter on which side the arrivals leave things so that they don’t get confused with the suitcases of the departing. Go swimming, sunbathing and after dinner at the restaurant, you are full and satisfied and go to check into the room already prepared for you.
Now about everything in order.
Rested from 25.07 to 05.08.
I strongly advise you to fly regular Russia. No delays and Boeing, after all.
Since I met Kilit Global, there are no questions about the meeting, delivery and unobtrusive chatter during the journey.
It takes about 2 hours to drive from Antalya Airport with one traditional stop for 15-20 minutes. the driver "really wants to drink coffee. "
Our hotel was the first along the route of the bus, well, we were the last to leave back.
From the outside, the hotel does not look like its declared 5 *, no pathos, and generally inconspicuous from the road. However, this can be attributed to the village - a country house, a la village.
The hall is sooooo small for a group of five, although I didn’t see any guests sitting there.
Since we arrived at 22:00, we immediately received the room number 1107. At first, we were tense that in the bungalow closest to the reception and the road, we thought it would be noisy, but after the first night we spent, we relaxed.
The room is decent, designed for a maximum of four (2 adults + 2 children under 10 years old). And do not feed yourself with the illusion that you will "somehow" fit in a large group. You are going to rest, not to solve problems.
Wet cleaning of the room and change of towels every day, linen every other day. We were very lucky with the maid! Seyma, a girl of about 30, turned out to be very quick, pleasant in communication (only Turkish and the address "madam", gestures and desire rule!! ), correct and skillful. With pleasure she spun swans from towels, sincerely rejoiced at, albeit irregular, tips.
The condo is located competently and does not blow on the bed, it is comfortable to sleep at t-re 26-27. Does not work while you are not in the room!
The toilet and shower are combined, but there is enough space. The shower is half glazed and this is clearly not enough, after each visit a large puddle formed on the floor, which created a risk of injury, because the feet slide on the tiles. There are no disposable shampoos and gels, which is unacceptable for fives.
In the mini-bar there is only water in one and a half liter bottles - this is inconvenient!
Mini safe is free.
The balcony is small and without clothes dryers. Which is sooo weird! This is a family hotel, there are a lot of children, but there is nowhere to dry.
TV is decent, there were 4 Russian channels: STS, TNT, Carousel and Musical.
Wifi in the room free stable gihsophila. GIPSOPHILA catches badly on the beach. The snack bar is better. If you have a connected home Internet for 300 rubles per day, you can work from the hotel without interruption simply by switching from free to excellent paid.
The territory is large, but compactly organized in the center. Residential bungalows are located around the perimeter of the hotel.
Vegetation: there is a lot of greenery, and when the heat subsides, flowers begin to smell fragrant. It's just magical!
Sea: always!! ! waving, which makes the already rocky entrance very difficult. I advise you to buy special shoes for pebbles. In a local shop will cost 10 euros. But there are piers where, bypassing the pebbles, you can get into the arms of water. Under the piers live fish, quite decent in size, they will be happy if you treat them to a bun.
Beach: bulk sand with pebbles washed out of the sea. Machine with juices and water near the beach ATTENTION!! ! shocks. Not much, but not pleasant enough. An application for a breakdown was made, maybe. will fix it. There are sun loungers by the sea at any time, no hype. Strange situation with mattresses for sunbeds. If you get up early and catch the morning sun from 7 in the morning, then you will have to carry the mattresses on the beach yourself (around 8.30 the beach begins to be staffed), while by the pools and on the lawns by 7 in the morning the sun loungers are always ready to receive bodies naked to swimsuits. A topless German woman met once, but no one looked at her carnivorously or with condemnation.
Beach towels are issued and changed from 8 to 16 daily near the animation desk, located by the pool.
Animation: the guys try, communicate, play games by the pool, BUT for those who travel to Turkey all the time - this is not aerobatics! They are contact, adequate, hearing, responsive to comments, for which many thanks to them) I really hope that “hearing us” will be better. Volleyball, as they wrote earlier, is the work of the players, however, like the bay of the playing field. The responsible animator does not know the rules, and he plays mediocrely. Water polo is not on the list of our favorite pastimes, so I won't say anything. Darts, archery, water and land gymnastics are present.
Mini-club: a separate topic for conversation...
The children's club is run by a rather old lady named Shanni (Turkish, English, German). The Russians nicknamed her "pioneer-pensioner. " She has been working in this hotel for 10 years and plans to continue working. With regards to the work of the club, there are no questions, life is organized, new children of different ages are invited, they are happy to draw there, play various calm and active games, make crafts and bake cookies. Everything is clean, neat, a big town under a canopy. 2 Russian-speaking girls Olya and Asya and 2 Turkish boys work in the club together with Shanni. Somehow they change there and replace each other. All in all, we were satisfied until…
Mini disco: until you get to this disco. It is designed for the smallest children and after a couple of songs that are monotonous in movement, it becomes uninteresting to either parents, or children, or Shannie herself. From her appearance, you can understand how she was fed up with all this. There is no drive, parents are stuck on their phones, children start running from the stage to their parents and back down the terribly dangerous stairs, they are not screwed to the stage, they have a rectangular, not rounded shape, their sharp edges and corners are upholstered in some kind of metal, in short, the organization is lame very. Plus, one of the speakers is fighting with current, and the microphone loses sound. The amphitheater is small. Filling out the guest questionnaire, we put a minus in the mini-club column. A few days later, Shannie asked my daughter to invite me for a chat. Honor and praise to her, she asked to tell us what specifically does not suit us. After our conversation for 2 whole evenings, the discos were exemplary, then everything returned to normal. At the end of the mini-disco, diplomas are always handed out in all hotels. In Gypsophila and this is a mess. Those who are lucky enough to be at the top of the list, diplomas are issued on a stage like in a "ceremonial" atmosphere. But after 10 minutes, we have to clear the stage for an adult show, and here complete confusion begins. Someone is crying that they didn’t have time to issue him, someone leaves without waiting . . or maybe it’s just not worth issuing diplomas for everything? 6th or 10th place does not mean a diploma... and the ease of obtaining ceases to make them desirable.
Birthdays: Gypsophila loves her birthdays, fireworks-fountains are lit in honor of children, and adults can count on fruit baskets in the room. Don't forget to notify your DR at reception.
Food: very varied, very tasty (except for borscht, I don’t understand how it was possible to spoil this soup (sour meat) SO much), a lot. The waiters are helpful, efficient, they will always ask about drinks and bring them, tips are a nice bonus, not an obligation. I really liked the red wine! Pink is the driest. White neutral. There were no half-measures for serving the vacated table, the guests ate, got up, and immediately the tablecloth was changed and new appliances. No lines for food or waiting for free tables. Grilled tuna is GREAT! ! Any grilled meat is GORGEOUS! Respect to the chef and chief administrator of the restaurant for everything !!
Ice cream is only paid. Tube with a ball - 2 euros. For five, more than strange. The lack of freshly squeezed juice, even for a fee, also does not correspond to the idea of a five. Gozleme-Turkish cakes, I didn’t like it in this hotel, the dough is not airy, there are few fillings, the craftswomen make them somehow without a soul. Airan is in the snack bar. While poured from bottles, it was incomparable, then it became less saturated in containers, apparently ice was added, which melted and thinned the consistency.
Fish restaurant: we never go to a la carte, but here we decided to try and did not lose. I advise! Go, feel the slowness of life, taste the fish soup, shrimp and squid, choose the main course to your taste. Dilute the "gray" weekdays; ) And when you sign up for a restaurant at Irina's guest relay, say hello from Katya from St. Petersburg; ) Ask her any questions, especially about nutrition: where and what is worth tasting, what to mix with and where and what to find . Wow, what a nice girl who works in her place!
Panorama Bar: Definitely go. Located on the third floor, above the a la carte restaurant. Have a cocktail or a glass of wine after dinner. From there, a beautiful view of the sea opens, from which the evening coolness blows.
The presence of Russian-speaking staff is impressive! Do not be afraid to be misunderstood, do not strain your brain, trying to remember the school curriculum in English or German. Not everyone will answer, but almost everyone will understand. Provided that the Russians go to this hotel en masse only for the second year - Well done!
Shops on site: Yes, they are. As always expensive. Bargain! Designed for the lazy. 25 minutes walk to the right of the exit from the hotel is ALARA BAZAR. Prices are 2 or even 3 times less. Free buses run from the hotel every half an hour round trip, break from 13 to 17.
Will I go to this hotel again? No. I love variety. Will I recommend it to my friends for a relaxing and hassle-free holiday with children - yes!
Well, that seems to be it! Uff. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer. Have a good holiday everyone!

Somehow they change there and replace each other. All in all, we were satisfied until…
Mini disco: until you get to this disco. It is designed for the smallest children and after a couple of songs that are monotonous in movement, it becomes uninteresting to either parents, or children, or Shannie herself. From her appearance, you can understand how she was fed up with all this. There is no drive, parents are stuck on their phones, children start running from the stage to their parents and back down the terribly dangerous stairs, they are not screwed to the stage, they have a rectangular, not rounded shape, their sharp edges and corners are upholstered in some kind of metal, in short, the organization is lame very. Plus, one of the speakers is fighting with current, and the microphone loses sound. The amphitheater is small. Filling out the guest questionnaire, we put a minus in the mini-club column. A few days later, Shannie asked my daughter to invite me for a chat. Honor and praise to her, she asked to tell us what specifically does not suit us. After our conversation for 2 whole evenings, the discos were exemplary, then everything returned to normal. At the end of the mini-disco, diplomas are always handed out in all hotels. In Gypsophila and this is a mess. Those who are lucky enough to be at the top of the list, diplomas are issued on a stage like in a "ceremonial" atmosphere. But after 10 minutes, we have to clear the stage for an adult show, and here complete confusion begins. Someone is crying that they didn’t have time to issue him, someone leaves without waiting . . or maybe it’s just not worth issuing diplomas for everything? 6th or 10th place does not mean a diploma... and the ease of obtaining ceases to make them desirable.
Birthdays: Gypsophila loves her birthdays, fireworks-fountains are lit in honor of children, and adults can count on fruit baskets in the room. Don't forget to notify your DR at reception.
Food: very varied, very tasty (except for borscht, I don’t understand how it was possible to spoil this soup (sour meat) SO much), a lot. The waiters are helpful, efficient, they will always ask about drinks and bring them, tips are a nice bonus, not an obligation. I really liked the red wine! Pink is the driest. White neutral. There were no half-measures for serving the vacated table, the guests ate, got up, and immediately the tablecloth was changed and new appliances. No lines for food or waiting for free tables. Grilled tuna is GREAT! ! Any grilled meat is GORGEOUS! Respect to the chef and chief administrator of the restaurant for everything !!
Ice cream is only paid. Tube with a ball - 2 euros. For five, more than strange. The lack of freshly squeezed juice, even for a fee, also does not correspond to the idea of a five. Gozleme-Turkish cakes, I didn’t like it in this hotel, the dough is not airy, there are few fillings, the craftswomen make them somehow without a soul. Airan is in the snack bar. While poured from bottles, it was incomparable, then it became less saturated in containers, apparently ice was added, which melted and thinned the consistency.
Fish restaurant: we never go to a la carte, but here we decided to try and did not lose. I advise! Go, feel the slowness of life, taste the fish soup, shrimp and squid, choose the main course to your taste. Dilute the "gray" weekdays; ) And when you sign up for a restaurant at Irina's guest relay, say hello from Katya from St. Petersburg; ) Ask her any questions, especially about nutrition: where and what is worth tasting, what to mix with and where and what to find . Wow, what a nice girl who works in her place!
Panorama Bar: Definitely go. Located on the third floor, above the a la carte restaurant. Have a cocktail or a glass of wine after dinner. From there, a beautiful view of the sea opens, from which the evening coolness blows.
The presence of Russian-speaking staff is impressive! Do not be afraid to be misunderstood, do not strain your brain, trying to remember the school curriculum in English or German. Not everyone will answer, but almost everyone will understand. Provided that the Russians go to this hotel en masse only for the second year - Well done!
Shops on site: Yes, they are. As always expensive. Bargain! Designed for the lazy. 25 minutes walk to the right of the exit from the hotel is ALARA BAZAR. Prices are 2 or even 3 times less. Free buses run from the hotel every half an hour round trip, break from 13 to 17.
Will I go to this hotel again? No. I love variety. Will I recommend it to my friends for a relaxing and hassle-free holiday with children - yes!
Well, that seems to be it! Uff. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer. Have a good holiday everyone!

We rested with a friend and a child of 11 years old in May 2018. Check in as usual at 14, not earlier, had to wait. At the reception, a manager who speaks excellent Russian. Room 3910 (no thanks) surprised with decent furniture, large size and a very good extra bed. The location was good, everything is nearby, the pool under the windows (the noise of the water was a bit disturbing at night, but not critical), the restaurant and the sea are within easy reach.

Room 3910 (no thanks) surprised with decent furniture, large size and a very good extra bed. The location was good, everything is nearby, the pool under the windows (the noise of the water was a bit disturbing at night, but not critical), the restaurant and the sea are within easy reach. The sea at this time is still cool for an amateur. The pool is fun, the animators (girls from Kyrgyzstan Karina, Regina and Aza) tried their best. Special thanks to them. It was a little tense that after the club dance by the pool they always played and danced to a German song, reminiscent of some kind of march, but where is the Russian one ?? ? Discrimination, IMHO) The food is very decent, varied, the waiters are from Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, they speak Russian perfectly. Wi-Fi catches tolerably, but not everywhere). You could always find free sun loungers on the sea and by the pool. The sea is clean, stone, immediately deep, excellent stretched awning on the beach, clean mattresses. There are pantones. We liked everything))

This time we decided to record a video review instead of the usual one. He is here https://youtu. be/3LuhGgQwNHU We tried to talk about food, territory, beach, gym and much more. I liked the territory in the form of small houses, food and friendly staff. Of the minuses - paid Wi-Fi and paid beach towels.

Rested from 24.07-08.08. 2 adults / 2 children Placed in a room with 2 beds (140cm and 90) and a folding chair bed is clearly already 90 cm, all of these rooms, with the exception of Family, they were not seen (they wanted to exchange) because they were all occupied. In general, torture your Tour operator about the description of the rooms, if it matters, because our Sunmar convinced that we will have EXACTLY 3 BEDS, but in fact .

Don’t expect sand by the sea, it’s a very rocky shore, the cobblestones are decent there, that is, in a good way, not only children need aquasocks, but also adults. We were ready for such an event, so no one "was hurt. "
Every evening after the Mini Disco for children there is an evening show, and every time it is new, very interesting. Don't expect free ice cream, just popcorn). The animation is more directed at the Germans, but it didn’t bother anyone, there are Russian speakers there too. In children's animation for a fee: coloring of T-shirts, pencil cases and sand paintings, the rest is free.
For a fee, a change of beach towels, ice cream and a safe in the room (this is the first time I have for 5 *), hack cleaning the rooms, and once I noticed dirty dishes on the table (forks, knives), I am silent about glasses, there is an alternative - disposable, it is better to use them.
No virus was observed during our rest period, my daughter developed herpes sore throat, as far as I heard, neither of us. But since the first-aid kit is always with us, we quickly liquidated it.
Internet ...it is almost non-existent, terrible wi-fi
And, another strained during the transfer, that there, that back is an intrusive check-in for 15-20 minutes. to the market bazaar, designating it as a "technical stop", or "check-in at a gas station".

We are currently in this hotel. 14.06. 2017 Let's start with the flight. Everything went without delay. They flew from Moscow. The road from Gazipasa airport is 2.5 hours. The last one is brought to this hotel. Upon arrival at 11 am, they put on bracelets and immediately gave the key to the room, which pleased me.

We are currently in this hotel. 14.06. 2017 Let's start with the flight. Everything went without delay. They flew from Moscow. The road from Gazipasa airport is 2.5 hours. The last one is brought to this hotel. Upon arrival at 11 am, they put on bracelets and immediately gave the key to the room, which pleased me. On this joy ended instantly. Number. 2 beds. One one and a half, the second two bedrooms and an armchair. Since we are 4 people, it turned out that this is just horror. The chair is not even and it is even painful for a child to sleep in it. But spread a thick blanket and it got better. When I saw that the pillow was given to the child from this chair, that is, the pillow is not intended for sleeping in any way, it is tall and hard as a brick, they simply pulled a pillowcase over it. It is impossible to approach a single bed from the side, even more so to the closet. They made rearrangements, removed the bedside table, it became better. Next is the sea. There was a shock. The description of the beach is sand and pebble. In fact, the entire entrance to the sea is very large pebbles. It is impossible to enter without shoes, especially if there are waves. Restaurant and food. Yes, you won't leave hungry, but you can only eat chicken. Taking mashed potatoes to a child, I realized that this was instant mashed potatoes from a bag. Ashamed. Just shock. The attitude is bestial. I called the reception 5 times and went to give the child a normal pillow, in the end I had to sleep on the one that was with me. But when everyone on the road fell asleep (having hung a sign do not disturb), since the flight was at night and the children could hardly stand on their feet, the cleaning lady at the sign brazenly began to knock on the door, bringing a pillow and waking everyone up. About cleaning. For two days the towels lay on the floor, no one removed them and did not give new ones. During the scandal, bed linen was allegedly changed only for 5 days, and then, two sheets and 2 pillowcases from 4 sets were changed. Instead of duvet covers, they have some kind of waffle towels, very hard and sleeping under such is just a torment. We bought Turkish bedding sets and sleep under them. It is impossible to put children to sleep during the day. It was at this time that the cleaners cleaned the rooms, shouted, rattled the doors. Now she asked to be quieter, the children are sleeping, so she was practically sent by obscenities and very loudly. Yes, and at night it is very difficult to sleep, since the air conditioner cannot be set below 26. The strength of the air flow is not regulated, there is no night mode in it. It had to be removed from the chair, on which the child was supposed to sleep, the air conditioner blows directly on the child. My husband lay down there, now he fell ill on the second day. In general, I do not wish such a holiday to anyone. Such rudeness, and such inconvenience was not even in 4-star hotels. Paid safe, paid ice cream. Oh yes, I almost forgot. Internet! He is not here. There are a lot of people at the reception, but even sending a message to WhatsApp is useless. I had to buy a Turkish SIM card for $29 at the market. Animation is nothing at all. The eldest child rested in another hotel two weeks before this, said that there was simply nothing to do in this. I don't understand why there are so many positive reviews.
