Hotel ratings by criteria:
We have already been in Turkey 3 times (4* hotels or HV-1 4+), but so far we have never been on the Aegean coast, we have always rested on the Mediterranean Sea. Thanks to this, I can judge that in Turkey it is not so bad everywhere with the star rating of hotels.
Here are the cons that, it seems to me, do not correspond to the star rating of this hotel:
1- The beach of the hotel is in a terrible state. In fact, it can be considered wild. Judge for yourself: there are less than 30 sun loungers on the beach, even fewer umbrellas, no mattresses, there are some terribly dirty pillows on which you can supposedly also lie. Anyone can enter the beach, which is what local Turks do on weekends, occasionally the guard kicks them out. A huge disadvantage of the beach is the lack of a bar on it. To get a drink, you need to go up to the hotel bar, and this is not so close: you have to overcome a very steep uphill. For those who like to wander along the bottom, and not swim, this task is not feasible here (the entrance is at a depth where there are enough sea urchins). True, you can go into the water from a nearby beach there are no hedgehogs. This didn't bother us as we love to swim and dive.

2- Regarding the infrastructure of the hotel itself. What they think in advertising for 4 bars was not clear to us. During the day, a maximum of 1 bar is open on the territory: until 10 am in the main restaurant-dining room, from 10-18 bar by the pool, from 19-21 dinner in the restaurant there is a bar, and from 21-30 to 24 bar on the roof of the restaurant. So the attentive reader will notice that there are hours when not a single bar is open at all. I can’t say anything about the Turkish bath - we didn’t go in. Gym - 3 terribly old simulators in the bathhouse (rowing, something like a stepper, a bicycle). There is table tennis with terrible rackets and a net (we had our own rackets (we always take them), so we still managed to play), there is an American table and carom (if I'm not mistaken, this is the name of the game when the table is without pockets) 2 cues (in poor condition) for 2 tables, there is also table football. I like to play American, but the tables are usually occupied by the employees of the hotel itself, it seems that they are resting there, especially in the evenings. For this hotel it's ok. Nowhere have I seen this before. There are two tiny pools (deep and shallow), near the pools there are plenty of sunbeds and mattresses, but there was no desire to plunge into this water. There are no beach towels in the hotel. True, many used towels from the rooms. Therefore, the "white" towels in the rooms are closer to gray.
3- We were generally lucky with the number, as many said. But the problems described in other reviews with a shower were. Water was on the floor constantly after taking a shower. But we had the top floor and no one flooded us from above.
4- The food was not particularly important to us, but I can’t say that it was good. Poor selection of food. Never seen anything like this before.
5 - There is no animation in the hotel, except for one animator, who every evening at 11 took her to a disco in Gumbet, and at 3 in the night the dolmush was taken away and brought to the hotel.
And I also want to say: do not believe the photographs posted on various sites - they do not correspond to the true look, at least I did not find any. Of course, we found ourselves a good company and still had a good rest, but not thanks to the hotel. In general, you choose where to relax, but I categorically do not recommend this hotel.
