It was the first time I had a rest in Turkey, I used to go to Bulgaria. I know threes, and fours, and fives, so there is something to compare, and I have a sufficient idea of ​ ​ ​ ​ the comfort of rest. I think that comfort on vacation is a priority, for the sake of this people go on vacation. Therefore, fans of reviews in the style of "we saw only the good, but did not pay attention to the rest" can immediately pass by, since in my review everything will be as close to reality as possible.

So,
- arrival, departure, transfer. Everything was acceptable, except for the return flight: the flight was moved six hours ahead, they were supposed to fly back at six in the evening, respectively, they arrived at midnight.

- reception. very polite staff, at least they understand Russian, as much as they can explain it. They try to resolve any issue in favor of the client.

- room. It turned out to be smaller than in the advertising photo.

My room was 1410, next to the technical room of the staff, the door to which, when opened and closed by hotel workers, rumbled from early morning until evening. In general, with regard to soundproofing, it simply does not exist in the hotel. And if the door to the balcony (namely, the balcony, measuring 1.5 by 1.5 m) can still be closed and not listen to intrusive animation 3 times a week in the evenings and violent walkers at night in the courtyard and neighboring rooms of the hotel, then any sounds from the hall on the floor are heard like this as if their source is practically in the room. The room itself has a decent bathroom and appliances, everything was in order, it worked flawlessly. Cleaning is daily, but the bed linen was several times with flaws such as holes or stains. When contacted, they change everything without talking. I did not understand the regularity of changing linen and towels. Two days before departure, the maid never appeared in the room at all.
Bath accessories, tea, coffee are reported if you constantly remind))) But to be honest, it was annoying (((And by the way, there is one elevator to the floor, which is used by both hotel guests and maids during the day, transporting carts with used linen in it and towels, periodically had to go up and down on foot when the elevator was occupied by staff. The elevator serves 4 floors, guests walked to the fifth from the fourth.
Two fat pluses of the room and the hotel: 1) drinking bottled water. Every day, the maid left 1-2 one and a half cups of decent-tasting drinking water, and at the reception, upon request, they always gave additional water in the right amount. 2) good Wi-Fi in the room and on the territory of the hotel, there was also a Wi-Fi on the beach, but I did not use it.

- food. Monotonous, for three stars it would be fine, but definitely not for a four. In any case, there was always something to eat. There is no children's table at all, they don't know how to cook porridge there.
Not so good with soups either. But a lot is cooked from meat and poultry, sometimes fish. Anything with meat is delicious.

- beach. walk decently, 1.20 min. Minibuses run from the hotel back and forth several times a day. The beach is clean, sandy, in shallow water, stone slabs are sometimes felt at the bottom. A big and fat minus on the beach is the local service. The water in the beach shower was ice cold. But what was even worse was that one local beach worker, a peasant, looking after the order and a waiter in one person, constantly patrolled along the sunbeds, very intrusively offered paid drinks in the "aggressive marketing" style and inadequately abruptly pulled back sunbathers, if they were at least a little moved the beds from the established place. It was very, very stressful. This is the first time I have come across such a service.

The sea itself was wonderful, most of the time it was clean, there were always enough sunbeds, mattresses, umbrellas, everything was in sufficient quantity, but this waiter guard was just a complete boor and the embodiment of anti-advertising for the hotel.

- optional. I noticed a lot of people coughing on the territory of the hotel, then I myself got sick with something similar to a mixture of a common cold and a rotavirus infection. On insurance from the reception, she called to call a doctor, but after talking with the operator, she changed her mind. It turned out that according to my insurance, the doctor does not come to the hotel, but a car arrives, takes the patient for examination to the clinic and brings it back, but if they call a second time, then you will have to go back at your own expense. Neither what is the cost of the trip, nor where will it be necessary to return, the representative of the insurance medical company did not answer me so clearly. In short, I self-medicated for reasons that you never know what, but this moment, I think, is very serious.
It was also the first time I encountered this one.

Summary. Not bad for the first time, but I realized for the future that it is necessary to more carefully clarify the details with tourists who have already traveled, namely, what they didn’t like. And these are not nit-picking, but important information that can help you choose not a pig in a poke, but a really decent option, comparing all the pros and cons.
