We almost missed this hotel when choosing, but, fortunately, at the last moment we remembered about it. The choice was fully justified.

Let's start with the hotel itself: built in 2014, so everything is quite modern and in excellent condition. Separately stands on the mountain, quite a large area: there are 2 swimming pools, a tennis court.
The inside of the hotel looks great. Large spacious lobby with lots of space, a bar. Separate reading area. There are 3 elevators, but getting to the 6th floor was problematic

At the reception they are greeted warmly, but it is problematic to speak English with some employees (the same applies to most staff), since there are several Russian-speaking employees
Room: there is everything you need (hairdryer, towels, safe, personal accessories, air conditioning in every room, dryers, etc. ). Minibar with juice and water is updated every day, daily cleaning. Initially, the room was absolutely clean (maybe we were lucky)

Restaurant: the choice is large, in 5 days you can never repeat, although there are many specific foods that have always been skipped (salads in liquid). For all the time only once they did not find a place inside, but in extreme cases you can always settle down on the street. We did not have time to sit down, as they immediately asked what drinks to bring (for free). Removes dishes and trash instantly

The only thing that was a little disappointing was the beach. Honestly, it does not reach the level of 5 stars. Entry into the water meets with huge stones, it is easy to stumble in the evening, and a separate descent from the pier has a very limited area (buoys). The shore itself is covered with small pebbles, not sand, sun loungers without capes, so it is better to take a towel. There is another bar with a limited menu and some entertainment (volleyball, ping pong and so on), 2 showers, changing room
Swimming pool: quite large (about 20-25 meters), there are sun loungers all over the territory, but it was rarely possible to use them, as enterprising Poles occupy them with towels from 7 in the morning. The pool is always clean, the garbage around is also instantly removed. Works from 7 to 19 hours. There is a bar nearby, open all day. The bar (both this one and the lobby) has friendly staff who will even chat with you if they have time. I don’t advise you to take cocktails from the menu, it’s better to ask for your taste separately (for example, ice and lemon are also added to gin with sprite / tonic, this is much better than the Jin Fizz offered on the menu, and so on)
Music plays all day next to the pool, but it was heard even on our 6th floor from both balconies (from which, by the way, in the evening there was a beautiful view of all the surroundings and the sunset by the sea)
A separate program was a daily two-hour marathon by Alex from Poland, who swam along the pool without stopping
Large but repetitive animation program: crazy dart game by Thomas, water polo, volleyball, aqua aerobics, gymnastics and more. If you spend the whole day at the hotel by the pool, then for 2-3 days you will already have time to try out the whole program


There is a separate floor with spa treatments, a hammam and a gym, which would not hurt to visit most of the hotel guests. But they preferred to silently admire the beautiful form of the Pole Adam and his girlfriend (by the way, they were expected to become the best hotel couple in the competition)

During the day, the music was very diverse, which cannot be said about the parties in the evening, in the evenings the playlist almost did not change and there was a lot of music for the locals in it. One song to order was refused to be included even for money
Evening events were always delayed by 10-15 minutes, the competitions were very monotonous, but at least something.

During the evening program, you will be actively offered a hookah for 15 euros.
You need to understand that the Turkish hookah is very specific and not everyone will like it.

Some animators are very friendly and sociable, and some just want to fuck you with their commission for the sold ticket to the club ....There were two: Illusion and summer garden, we can only recommend the second one, since the first one played specific live music in Turkish, to which you can dance only after drinking enough, and this is not cheap in both clubs

On the -1 floor in front of the pool there are shops with clothes and all sorts of little things. A very cheerful and friendly guy works there, who constantly offers something to choose from. If anything, you can just answer him "maybe later" or "our party just begining, we'll come back later"

Be prepared for the lack of wi-fi outside the lobby, to access high-speed internet from the room and from the territory you need to pay 15 euros. Also, for the loss of cards, towels and other things, you may need to pay a large fine.
A nice bonus is that after checking out of the room, you can use all the services of the hotel until departure, you can only leave the hotel
