It is with great pleasure that I want to write a review from this hotel, but first I would like to say that I consider myself to be both people and tourists who believe that everything that happens around us depends only on us and we are responsible for everything that happens - i. e. if I arrived at the hotel at 3 o'clock in the morning with a one-year-old child and they do not check me in - I will not consider the hotel to be terrible - because there are international check-in rules from 14.

It is with great pleasure that I want to write a review from this hotel, but first I would like to say that I consider myself to be both people and tourists who believe that everything that happens around us depends only on us and we are responsible for everything that happens - i. e. if I arrived at the hotel at 3 o'clock in the morning with a one-year-old child and they do not check me in - I will not consider the hotel to be terrible - because there are international check-in rules from 14.00 and we must understand this when we arrive at night, and that places and the truth until 14.00 may not be and this is not the fault of the hotel.
My wife and I are 44 years old, the eldest son is 20 years old and my daughter is 10 years old - full of positive and energy, but quite objective and pragmatic. Travel experience around the world since 2004.
Length of stay: 23 July 2021 - 3 August 2021
Guests: 3 adults + 1 child 10 years old
Number: Deluxe Room one-room 40 sq. meters
We arrived at 10.45. Checked in at 13.00
Flight: Royal Flight - without delay at 06.20 from Sheremetyevo
Meeting at the airport: Sunmar (they flew from it) - quickly collected by bus and taken to the hotels
Airport to hotel: 25 minutes
Conclusion:
I definitely recommend the hotel for recreation - I liked everything, that's how we understood the organization of recreation here when choosing a hotel. For those with children with strollers - look again at the reviews and photos - as the hotel stands on a mountain and has 6 levels. Yes, there are two elevators between levels (not in buildings) but then there are still places where you will need to move up the stairs.
My opinion - the hotel is the best for families with children from 3 years old.
So let's go:
Weather
- The temperature is now 37-39 degrees - according to my feelings - it feels like 35 degrees. Humidity -0% -1% - stuffiness - NO. Constant wind from the sea - very comfortable.
I have never personally been to Bodrum (my wife was with children) - before that, Kemer, Alanya, Side and Here, the combination of heat, wind, humidity is very comfortable for me - there is no such standing heat and immobilized air
But yesterday it was 45 degrees - the Turks themselves said that this is something unusual. Today (01.08) the temperature is 38 degrees.
The nights are pleasant - we sleep with an open balcony. His door is on the floor of the wall - comfortable and pleasant. But the surf is quite audible and the cicadas are noisy all night, but we do not react to this noise. We sleep well.
Hotel and its territory
- The hotel is 8 km from Bodrum - it's 10 minutes by taxi or 20 minutes by local bus if there is no traffic jam at two traffic lights on the road. The first time we rode the city bus - the stop is right outside the hotel gate, but put your hands up for the bus to stop. You can pay by card on these buses. We drove back on the route - payment only in cash lira.
The cost is 5 lira per person. You arrive at the central station of Bodrum and you also leave it back.
Near the hotel No villages within walking distance (3-4 km) - no. You just need to go somewhere.
The hotel is located on a slope. The territory consists of 6 floors (terraces). To move between them - there are many passages along the stairs and there are also two towers (clearly visible in all the photos) - these are elevators. There are no queues or long standing. We walk 90% of the time.
The size is not large in length - along the main alley (3rd floor) - from the main restaurant to the exit from the territory of 400-600 meters.
Along the main terraced pool there is a 3-storey building - it only has Deluxe one-room and two-room rooms. We live in it on the third floor.
A little to the left (if you stand with your back to the sea), in the pines, there is a town of three and two storey bungalows - these are standard one and two room rooms
Interesting but true - there are no rooms overlooking the side of the road that runs along the border of the hotel. At the Deluxe building at All Sea & Pool View rooms without exception. In standard - not all rooms have a sea view, there are windows overlooking the walls of the bungalow on the contrary - but not straight into a dense one - up to 3 meters. But when you booked, you saw on all sites that the standard rooms are being sold either with or without a sea view.
If you go down from the reception floor, through the reception bar to the main alley, then to the left there will be a deluxe building (entering its third floor immediately), and to the right we go and pass by a popular place - a completely shaded bar with wooden chairs, sofas, tables - this Turkish coffee house - all in the shade, cool. There are always places.
Interesting, but true - it is here that Turkish cakes with cheese, herbs, potatoes are baked from 12.00 to 16.00 - there are 5 people in line. They bake quickly, as they already bring rolled up for baking. The woman only fries.
Some tables have sockets.
Everything is very delicious.
We go further along the main alley and find ourselves in the main bar area with tables and chairs, where many people gather after dinner. It is here that dances and evening programs take place.
Immediately after the territory of the main bar, the second pool begins (three times smaller than the main one). The area around it is lined with white stone and it bakes very strongly in the heat. We have never bathed or sat in it.
The territory of this pool smoothly transitions into the territory of the main restaurant - its street places and after 20 meters the entrance to the main restaurant.
Interesting, but true - it is from the "shore" of this second pool that the bungalows of standard rooms are perfectly visible, and if you pay attention, there is a railing right above this pool - this is the third small pool located already on the 4th floor of the bungalow.
Between the border of the main bar and the second restaurant - to the right, the first tower is a lighthouse lift for descending to the sea.
Further along the alley, immediately after the pizza bar on the left, there is a zone of paid VIP houses with sunbeds - the cost is from 80 euros - they did not use.
Further to the right immediately another small bar.
Interesting but true - many people think that this last small bar serves only VIP houses, but it is not - it serves everyone and there are no people at all. If you want a little peace and solitude, this is a great place. And only here beer is poured into 0.5 glasses : )
Further along this alley there will be an Ala carte restaurant and the territory will end.
Pools
- Three - (1) the main and the largest - in all the photos it is (2) at the entrance to the main restaurant (3) is small above the second.
At the end of the main pool is a bar.
All animation programs are held in the area of the main pool in the part closer to the bar.
The number of sunbeds is many, they occupy the entire area between the pool and the Deluxe building.
But unfortunately the answer to one of the main questions is whether there are enough places, the answer is not enough.
But the reason is not that there are few sunbeds, but rather banal and old - people take places from the early morning and do not come, because they still take places parallel to the sea.
At 06.00 in the morning 30% is already occupied, by 09.00 in the morning all places will be occupied, but there will not be many people on them. During the day, everything is always busy, but at 30-40 percent of the employed there is no one during the day. Do we take places, yes we do, there is no other way yet.
For drinks you need to go to the bar, no one takes orders on sunbeds.
Sea
- Incredibly warm and transparent - always 24 hours and 7 days. The wind is always from the sea - there are no algae and something like that
It is almost always calm until 14.00, then the wind begins to increase and the waves begin. By 17.00 almost all the waves are noticeable. We have been here for the 8th day already - twice after 16.00 we raised the red flag forbidding swimming - but you can’t stop anyone - many people like to ride the waves.
Beach and coastal area in general
- Located a little perpendicular to the coast - The line where the immediate exit to the sea-100 meters is not great. Far away there is still a part - which does not immediately have access to the shore - metro 20 from it The beach itself is sand
The entrance to the sea and the bottom are small round pebbles. For the most part there are no cobblestones - but there is closer to the coast. Whether it is necessary to take rubber slippers - it's up to you, we are all in them - it's better for us to enter the sea on pebbles.
Most sunbeds are mesh, the condition is normal, there are plastic ones.
The entrance is gentle and gradual. My height is 176 cm - after 20 meters the depth is already up to my neck.
In general, the structure of the coastal zone is the beach itself, then along the coast the first long wooden pontoon on the water is 20 meters from the coast and the entrance to it is only through the beach. Between the beach and this pontoon is a place for marine entertainment (parachutes, boats, etc. ). There are no separate descents into the sea from this pontoon - only through the beach.
In the center of the coastal zone is the main square pontoon and the central beach bar.
From the central pontoon - two descents into the water into the open sea - a large area is fenced with buoys and the second towards the beach.
If you look at the beach bar - on the left there will be another pontoon village - it stands close to the shore - from it at the very beginning there is also a descent immediately into the sea.
From all pontoons - descents immediately into the depths.
It is interesting, but true - the line of the beach, the coast, the first pontoon and the square pontoon form a kind of bay with an entry into it five meters long. So - in this bay before lunch, it’s usually completely calm - it’s just beautiful, but as I wrote above, the wind always starts to increase from 14.00 - and waves also rise in this bay and by 16.00 there can be just such a turbulence - waves from the sea and from the coast reflected - lovers of waves - welcome - they did not bother us.
Places on the beach - unfortunately you have to take. I wrote that it also occupies at 06.00 - but already 20 percent are occupied - there will definitely not be any places by 08.00. During the day, also 30% are occupied, but empty.
Food
- Generally good quality, no complaints. Breakfast is more of the same. Lunches and Dinner - large selection of dishes and chicken, fish meat, cold appetizers.
Dinner - great selection of food. Something is always fried on the street - I have never seen kebabs on skewers in hotels, for example. At the end of the restaurant inside, there is a place - so they give something special - or huge pieces of lamb or fried quail, etc. A large selection of stewed vegetables with anything you can. They also try to cook some national dishes every day - for example, there were Pelmeni or Burrito twisted. Cabbage rolls and stuffed peppers, dolma - just excellent. There are always whole fish carcasses.
I think the selection and variety of food is good.
Fruits - watermelons, melons, nectarines, green and black grapes, plums, red and green apples.
Desserts and pastries - for every taste.
At breakfast - freshly squeezed orange juice is made.
Packaged juices - did not like.
Service and places
The peak load of the restaurant is an hour or an hour and a half after opening. I didn’t see queues of people standing and waiting for a table, but they themselves walked around waiting for 5-7 minutes a couple of times.
If you come to the opening - there will be places both inside and on the terrace. Despite the fact that the windows are open in the restaurant, the air conditioning still works - it's cool.
Drinks during the meal - the waiters will bring with pleasure, wait 5 minutes. But we ourselves went to the bar inside the restaurant - it's faster for us.
How they impose food - everyone imposes cooks, you can’t take anything yourself. Everything is set fairly quickly. There is no feeling of crowds and pandemonium at the distribution. Of course there are queues - 5-7 people, but the speed of the return of dishes is high. You just say what to put in, and then they put it in. There are no restrictions.
The drinks
- As in a restaurant and in bars, everything is the same. Local production. They make cocktails.
There is salty ayran from bottles - just super
Children's food - there is no special food.
Water - bottled throughout the hotel in the bars. Fanta, Sprite, Cola - everything is there.
Tables are prepared by waiters -quickly. I did not feel any discrimination - someone wrote that the Turks were served faster and more politely. I will say this - as you are so to you.
In the Kebab bar, they give burgers, shawarma, spaghetti, salads, fries.
Mini club
Located in the center of the slope - just below the shops. There is a pool - from 10 cm to 30 cm deep. There are sunbeds and they are with pillows. Half of the club area is in the shade. You have to go down to the sea.
There is working from 10.00-12.00 and from 14.00-16.00 - my child no longer walks. I can’t say about the quality, but I haven’t seen many children in it.
Read reviews - that there is a smell of rubber. The answer is yes there is, it smells like a coating. Not much, but it smells.
Interesting, but true - the territory of the club is available at any time. If you need privacy or just silence, this is a great place. Shade, soft sunbeds and you can take a dip.
30 - not super loud, but we live as far away as possible, but we can hear it too. From 23.30 - silence.
Children's animation - in the amphitheater. The program is standard.
Vacationers
- 40% - Turks and Arabs, 30% - Ukrainians, 20% - Eastern and Western Europe, 10% - Russian. I didn't see any conflicts. 70% vacation with children of different ages. Drunk or rowdy - did not see.
Rooms and housekeeping
- Everything is standard. No complaints. Air conditioning turned on during the day - works great and quiet.
We have Deluxe - corresponds to the photo and description. The main bed - 240 cm - you will not immediately find a wife at night : ) - just huge. Large sofa - spin son 180 cm tall - excellent. The bed was set for my daughter 170 cm - excellent.
There is a Nespresso coffee machine - capsules included, there is a kettle - tea bags. In the fridge water, cola, fanta, sprite every day.
Service staff
- Generally responsive, ready to help. But few people speak English, only basic words.
Aquapark
There are four slides. Open 10.00-12.00 and 14.00-16.00. The hills are not high. There are not many people.
There is great. Docha and we every day for hours drove for a change.
My recommendations for the hotel
1. Put in each bar - a menu of drinks that are available for order. Now they are not.
2. Pull the awning over the tennis table. He stands to the left of the main pool bar, between the bar and the wall. Most of the day it is in the sun. Or put some tables in the room to the right of the gym under the main pool - it's huge and empty and cool.
3. Figure out how to deal with taking up poolside seats and not using them. I'm sure there is a best practice - how to organize it. An example from me: I met in one hotel - they simply didn’t allow to leave things and towels on the sunbeds without people until 09.00 - if the vacationers left things, then the servants took them from them and gave them to the reception, and if you want to sit with things on the sunbeds until 09.00.
00 am - sit at least from the night, but in this case you can only take one sunbed - always in this hotel there were places on sunbeds, although it was not small.
4. Repair showers on the beach - one far (statue with a shell) button must always be held by hand so that water flows. Two that are closer to the yarn - put shower heads, now the pressure is blowing you off your feet.
5. Collect all the left things around the hotel and hand them over at the reception - I haven't seen so many left things on the beach, by the pool and in other places : )
6. Tidy up the supply of steam in the hammam - not hot at all and not warm to sweat unfortunately.
We wish you all a great positive holiday.

5. Collect all the left things around the hotel and hand them over at the reception - I haven't seen so many left things on the beach, by the pool and in other places : )
6. Tidy up the supply of steam in the hammam - not hot at all and not warm to sweat unfortunately.
We wish you all a great positive holiday.
Pavel, Natalia, Matvey and Milana (Moscow)

We arrived in the morning, filled out the necessary forms, they gave us cards for towels and showed us which way the restaurant : ) we had breakfast, they cook well, a decent assortment, freshly squeezed orange juice in sufficient quantities every morning, delicious omelettes... tables and chairs in the restaurant are dirty, on the tables are dez funds are often empty, the tables to process did not see! There are good wines in the bars and the restaurant, alcoholic cocktails on the main pool are heavily diluted with water : )) The beach is small, but with small children it’s the best, the sea is gorgeous, the sand on the beach is full of garbage, sunbeds and tables are very dirty! There is a funny phenomenon: there are almost no people on the beach, but the sunbeds are all occupied! The same goes for the pool! Very cool cover bands play in the evenings, well, just listen! The restaurant has a decent menu, every day fish, lamb, chicken, a sea of salads, grill, they cook deliciously, the restaurant is 5/5.

The rooms are a separate conversation : ) we have 2 rooms: they have a flat-screen TV, a refrigerator with a mini bar (a couple of bottles of sweet soda), air conditioners, a small balcony with a dryer for things, you can’t turn around in the bathroom, they haven’t brought the standard minimum for a week at all : ear sticks, cotton pads, soap. Toilet paper is running out : )) for a 5 * hotel, something is not right... on the first night, 2 bats flew into the bedroom window with my youngest daughter, it was... flying under the ceiling for about 20 minutes, it’s impossible to drive out, but woke up my husband and he with a towel I knocked them out the window, after 20 minutes I heard a rustle, I found another one sleeping on the curtain !! ! Sleep never came to me : )

The hotel was booked for 2 families before the coronavirus for early bookings in 2019. , but due to the pandemic, our armor was frozen until this summer.

The hotel was booked for 2 families before the coronavirus for early bookings in 2019. , but due to the pandemic, our armor was frozen until this summer. Reading bad reviews from last year's tourists were shocked and did not expect anything special from the hotel, but the hotel impressed us from the first moment of acquaintance. We went overseas, beautiful scenery and tranquility and got it all. The territory and views are so impressive that it is breathtaking, no photos on the Internet will convey that atmosphere. They lived in rooms 606 and 605, they are listed as overlooking the garden, but in fact the windows of room 606 overlooked the elevator and the sea, respectively. At first we thought to change it to a sea view, but we were completely satisfied with the rooms we had - two-room family.
The territory of the hotel is very well maintained, clean, lots of greenery, between the rooms - paths paved with stone and white stairs, all the time there was a feeling that we are somewhere in a Greek village, very cozy and homely.
As for food - it is without excesses and this is the approach I liked more than those to which most tourists are accustomed to olinkulyu. Breakfasts and lunches are mostly the same, but there were 2 families (4 adults and 4 children from 4 to 14 years old) and no one was hungry once, everyone found something to taste. Their buns are something) At first glance, it may seem that there is not much food, but really there is everything for everyone. The choice of fruit was small - apples, pears, grapefruit and watermelon, sometimes in the morning and there was no fruit at all. During the day - there are several areas with snacks, pita bread, pizza, etc. , but we did not even get around half, because all were nets between main meals. Ice cream is very tasty, waffles are sometimes baked, but all this just does not fit into an ordinary person)) There was always a lot of different food for dinner, there were days very tasty.
Even some desserts (I was sure Turkish sweets were not mine) were very cool.
In short, we had more than enough food and ate both men and children, all had enough. Of the alcohol, I tried only wine, it is better, but pink is quite the norm.
There is a Greek a la carte restaurant on the territory, it is paid - 10 There are people and we doubted whether to go until the last, but decided to try and were delighted, we were fed for several hours, very positive waiter, great atmosphere, so I would highly recommend.
The beach is small, but there was enough space for everyone, the sea near the beach is shallow and you have to walk a little to swim, but there are also several piers from which it is more convenient to swim.
The hotel's feature is a panoramic pool, everyone writes that it is a pool for photos, but it's not so easy to take a picture in it, you have to climb into the water with a camera, phone, and from swimming and admiring the landscape - it's perfect.
There was not much animation, but once we got to aqua aerobics, maybe we just warmed up with the activities that took place at another hour. The evening was quiet, there was a bit of some music, but we were in good company, then just hung on the couches near the tea bar, listening to the sound of the sea.
Of the minuses - cleaning was not always good, and did not depend on tips, we twice forgot to put toilet paper and towels were taken away, and fresh to forget to put. All the other times everything was fine, probably depends on the change.
The whole staff is great, we watched how much they actually work, despite the fact that in masks, in uniform in such heat, but did great. We always responded kindly when we greeted and thanked them in Turkish, always ate from where we were. Our English is not very strong, but we always managed to understand each other.
It really was a wonderful holiday in a fabulous place, we left there a piece of the heart.
Thank you to everyone who creates this comfort and coziness at the Kairaba Blue Dreams Resort & Spa!

Pros: the view is wonderful, there is wi-fi in many places (on the beach, in bars, at the reception, sometimes in the rooms), there are no problems getting towels at any time. Baklava is delicious. Oranges, watermelon and melon every day. A good shower, comfortable, high rise and the water does not spill over the threshold (as there are problems with the drain).

Pros: the view is wonderful, there is wi-fi in many places (on the beach, in bars, at the reception, sometimes in the rooms), there are no problems getting towels at any time.
Baklava is delicious. Oranges, watermelon and melon every day.
A good shower, comfortable, high rise and the water does not spill over the threshold (as there are problems with the drain).
Cons: so-so service - if you give a tip - the waiters will serve, if you do not give, then you can serve yourself.
The worst thing is the food((((I have never seen anything like this!! ! Every day is the same. Rice was once!! ! Once in 9 days! The rest of the time only bulgur porridge. The fish is the same steam and chicken. That's all! ! Pieces of smoked mackerel 2 times in 9 days! French fries (the only thing that was really eaten all the time from the side dish. Do not dream of seeing anything worthy in this kitchen. Same thing and definitely no seafood there... what to say... rice really was once (((
besides this, nothing in the kitchen is signed, everything is issued by the Turks, many of whom do not even know English, and what is under the closed, sweaty lid - you do not understand... sadness and sadness.
It is not clear how they clean the rooms... like they wipe the floor and make the bed. but more often they climb on your things constantly and shift something... for some reason they take the second blanket and shove it into the closet systematically... climbing on things and cabinets - of course, I was surprised. I had only read this before and saw it with my own eyes. But nothing seems to have been stolen, and thanks for that.
Economy rooms - a view of the wall of the neighboring row of rooms and at the same time you have glass windows and doors to the floor - you always hang curtains, in the end - as if you live in a cave. And since your "balcony" is a passage to other rooms, it's really just a path along the rooms, along which people walk, then you won't be able to leave the room and sit, have a good time, because if you sit at a table, everyone will be past you walking, sparing his shoulder - it's still a pleasure. Didn't like it terribly.
The rooms are dead, somewhere the air conditioner is leaking, somewhere the beds are dead (by the way, they are single everywhere) - it is only possible to move them and cover them with one sheet), somewhere the sewerage system “groans” after each drain of water, and somewhere water sinks into the soul.
And a separate story - this is the tour operator Anex - I have not seen such a divorce for a long time. We took a balloon tour and Pammukale - 175 bucks per person (+ 14 bucks for the Cleopatra pool): we got up at 2:20, drove along the serpentine for 3.5 hours, then rode the balloon for 30 minutes, instead of the promised 45 minutes, poured champagne a sip - hungry tourists, then taken to breakfast - they gave a tiny saucer with scrambled eggs and 4 transparent sausages and this is one dish for 4 people !! ! Thank you, there was more bread and tea was brought with a small saucer of honey.
The guide is worse than ever. He didn’t say anything, he left everyone, like go yourself, look for what you want, look, walk, and then come back in 3 hours. Then lunch - pita bread with pieces of lamb, even a thin girl would not have eaten. No water, no drinks. Nothing! Then they offered to take it either to a wine cellar or to textiles (you yourself know that it is 50 times more expensive there). Everyone refused. In my opinion, Anex simply snickered! I don't mind paying a lot of money for convenience, but to save and fuck already enough to give one tiny scrambled egg for four people is already too much!! ! If at least someday there will be Anex, I will never go on a single excursion and dissuade all my friends.
Naturally, we would not go to this hotel a second time either. I understand that the coronavirus, but it’s probably not worth saving so much on food. There should be at least some kind of framework... You closed half the bars - good, no seafood - okay, but at least some kind of rice could be cooked, and not give one bulgur. Or put signs near the food so that I don’t play a fortune teller... such a thing...

The hotel itself is not bad, beautiful view, excellent sea, but this is not the merit of the hotel! Minuses: - sun loungers are occupied with towels, if you go out by 9:00, get ready to lie in the shade, since everything near the sea is busy, as I said, not always with people; - food, I don’t know

Minuses:

- food, I don’t know what it is connected with, but every day is the same, the choice is very small, very poor food;
- bars, from the second half of the rest, they did not have white wine, and by 22:00 all the bars said that alcohol was completely over, which is very strange for a 5 * hotel;
- luggage, the shuttle that carries luggage from the bus to the reception and back was broken, and the hotel is located near the sea, the mountain there is not weak at all, dragging it over the stones, down, uphill is simply unrealistic, keep in mind, you can undermine your health after rest !

I can recommend the hotel. As a tourist with a lot of experience, I know that there are no disadvantages, but here they are insignificant. Choose sea wieu or when booking, or negotiate on the spot, it's real. The best view of 4-5 levels. There is an elevator. The sea is great. The scenery is magnificent. There is less food than in Egypt, but there is something to eat.

Ice cream is delicious. Worthy of Turkish coffee. Lots of vegetables and fruits. Concert programs daily. Live music. But it was a minus for me, because the volume was outrageous, although I love music and the repertoire is great. This is up to 24 years. The staff is respectful. You should take care of the cleaning yourself and encourage it. In-room kettle, coffee and tea. In the bathroom shampoo and soap. There are slippers.

We were here last year and loved it. Much worse this year. Incredibly loud disco music played right under the windows of most rooms. From the power of sound, the doors even vibrate! And it lasts until 24.00 and longer. I don’t understand why this should be done under the windows, if there is a place for a disco on the shore far from the rooms? ! There is an amphitheater below the rooms.

Changing the room won't help either, as the sound is so strong that you can hear it everywhere! This is a huge disadvantage for the rest.

This year, my friends and I have chosen a new region of Turkey that has not yet been discovered, namely the city of Bodrum on the Aegean Sea. To be honest, it took a long time to choose the hotel, we didn’t like everything, and one morning, in just 5 minutes, we randomly chose Blue Dreams. We arrived at the hotel very quickly in the afternoon, we were immediately settled (it was here that knowledge of English was needed, received at the university).

This year, my friends and I have chosen a new region of Turkey that has not yet been discovered, namely the city of Bodrum on the Aegean Sea. To be honest, it took a long time to choose the hotel, we didn’t like everything, and one morning, in just 5 minutes, we randomly chose Blue Dreams. We arrived at the hotel very quickly in the afternoon, we were immediately settled (it was here that knowledge of English was needed, received at the university). We were given two rooms, and we went to explore the territory, and at the same time we already wanted to swim in clean and clear water.
The hotel is located on a mountain, in a chic bay, next to VIP hotels, so every day we lived like in a fairy tale ...the view is simply incredible. The climate in Bodrum is gorgeous at this time, and I have been in Turkey 8 times already and I have something to compare with. During the pandemic, everything is safe and about food (food was given to us by cooks), about staying at the hotel, there were antiseptics at every step, the hotel territory was constantly cleaned and disinfected.
Activities at sea 2: from the shore, from the canopy for children and those with poor swimmers, and from the pier. At 8 in the morning the water was already warm, the sea was cozy and calm, but in the afternoon there were frequent waves on the sea, and then we, as small children, could not but rejoice at this.
At first, we were surprised by how many lifeguards in the hotel, constantly watching the guests of the hotel at sea and at any moment were ready to help ...all because of the specifics of the sea. All staff are wearing masks and keeping their distance. I also liked the animation in the hotel. To be honest, for the first time in my life I got so high on disco, special thanks to Cj for the sincere atmosphere and cool company, and especially for the song on my birthday - Felaket. At one time, a large company of Turkish youth rested with us, and I wanted to envy their activity, friendship, fun and participate in everything with them. Well done just!!!
I will never forget their group dances in the evening under the column, when the whole hotel was already getting ready for bed ...it was colorful, a real Turkish night.
There is animation at the hotel even despite the Coronavirus, there are various games by the infinity pool, darts, morning exercises, live music, karaoke, disco, water slides, a gym and a lot of other things for your outdoor activities. For the first time, I laughed so hard at Miss and Mr. Hotel, right to tears)). The animators are polite, always smiling, they invite you to participate, but do not impose them on you, as often happens. The infinity pool is just one love. If you want gorgeous panoramic photos, then you are definitely here. We also liked the food very tasty and a large selection, and we especially liked having breakfast with quiet music on the terrace overlooking the island of Rixos and the moored yacht in the sea.
At 16.00 we often savored Turkish pastries with ayran or ice cream in a tea cafe.
I have an ocean of positive emotions, and even if there were small things, we did not pay attention to them, and the hotel staff was always happy to help ...for example, sometimes there were problems with the Internet. And to be honest, I am very glad that at that time Ukrainians and Turks, as well as many Europeans, mostly rested in the hotel. I would gladly return to this hotel again. Just a little heaven on earth...in Blue Dreams my dreams come true.

This was our first time staying at this hotel and I don't want to go back there again. Stayed with 2 adults and 1 child. They brought us to the hotel at 6:00 in the morning and, according to the standard, they informed us that check-in was at 14:00 and not earlier, arguing that check-out was before 12:00 and a couple of hours were needed for cleaning and airing the rooms (after all, the quarantine period).

This was our first time staying at this hotel and I don't want to go back there again. Stayed with 2 adults and 1 child.
They brought us to the hotel at 6:00 in the morning and, according to the standard, they informed us that check-in was at 14:00 and not earlier, arguing that check-out was before 12:00 and a couple of hours were needed for cleaning and airing the rooms (after all, the quarantine period). The hotel was 100% occupied. The main contingent were Turks, few Ukrainians. At 14:00 we came to the reception desk and heard that we had to walk for another 45 minutes, as our room was still being cleaned, disinfected and all that. This upset us a little, since we were already on our feet for a day and really wanted to go to the room already. But there was no choice and we are waiting.
At 15:00, when we arrive at the reception, they tell us to sit down and wait another 15 minutes, then they give us the keys to the room and go to watch it. The number was 205. What we saw made us very upset. The room turned out to be very small and with one double bed, and we flew in as part of 2 persons. (girls) and 1 child. That is, we stated when booking the hotel that we need 3 separate beds, but here there is only 1 bed and the three of us will not turn around in the room. We refused this room and asked to change to the one we booked. The staff agreed to change the room, but this procedure was delayed for another two hours! To our requests to give a faster number, they simply began to ignore us. And with us is a child who is already just falling off his feet. And only after the scandal we were still at 17:00 given the room that we booked. We had room 527. The mood was completely ruined.
The next day, our mood did not change, continuous negative moments began. For the first time I meet in hotels that towels for the beach are issued in any quantity, without cards, and you don’t need to take them back. I had to take sunbeds at 6 in the morning, since the Turks had such a manner that from the very morning they throw towels on all beach locations, pools, which means the sunbed is busy, although for the whole day you could not even see anyone on supposedly busy sunbeds... In no hotel did you have to get up on an alarm clock and run to take sunbeds (((
A big plus is the staff who monitors the distance of 1.5 m between the sunbeds and wipes the side tables with an antiseptic every two hours.
The food was quite simple, we expected a little better, after all, the hotel was 5 * and the rating was good. The only seafood was fish. There was no grill at all. Alcohol is really bad. Only local vodka, gin, wine and beer. Any cocktail consists of half a glass of vodka, gin and some kind of drink from the machine. I do not advise coffee from the machine, the "burda" is still the same. There was no baby food at all. In the main restaurant, for the first three days, there was a picture of service in the queue of "ours", I mean the Turks. Even if you stand first with a plate, you will still get your food only after the Turk is poured. It was very unpleasant and I had to point it out to the chef every time. At the end of the holiday, many of our tourists stopped by and the service became a little better. The big minus is drinking water. It was not brought into the room at all, and in order to take a bottle of water, one had to constantly stand in line at the bar. There are three a la carte restaurants on site. We were in two, in Turkish and fish. The fish was good, the sea bream was very tasty, and the Turkish one was so-so...
Cleaning in the room at 3. The floor was never even swept up, towels were changed and garbage was taken out, although we left a tip in the room every day.
Rooms should be taken only with a sea view. The panorama is gorgeous. Wherever you look, the views are mesmerizing.
The main attraction of this hotel is nature. The sea is just gorgeous, blue, blue. The fish swim right under you. The infinity pool is also amazing. The panorama is amazing.
In general, the climate in Bodrum, as for me, is the most favorable in summer. Humidity is low, the breeze is constant and it is comfortable in the sun.
I was surprised by the condition of the toilets on the territory. Dirty, stinky, no paper and no soap.
The animation is very weak. There was nothing but darts. But that's the way it should be in quarantine.
Every evening there was either live music or karaoke.
There are many antiseptics and restrictive tapes on the territory.
Since the hotel is located on a hill, the elevators were a very good solution. There are 2 of them. And they are very well located.
In general, the impression of the rest is twofold. Some liked it, some didn't.
They brought us to the hotel at 6:00 in the morning and, according to the standard, they informed us that check-in was at 14:00 and not earlier, arguing that check-out was before 12:00 and a couple of hours were needed for cleaning and airing the rooms (after all, the quarantine period). The hotel was 100% occupied. The main contingent were Turks, few Ukrainians. At 14:00 we came to the reception desk and heard that we had to walk for another 45 minutes, as our room was still being cleaned, disinfected and all that. This upset us a little, since we were already on our feet for a day and really wanted to go to the room already. But there was no choice and we are waiting.

We arrived at the hotel early in the morning, at the reception they helped us fill out questionnaires and we were immediately given the keys to the room. The room was given with a sea view 312 (the room is excellent). In the mini-bar in cans of cola, sprite, fanta - upon arrival only. Water, tea, coffee, sugar - every day bring. As soon as we arrived (July 19), the hotel was half empty, which made us happy, but by the end of our holiday (July 29), a lot of Turks had come. Since in Turkey, the Eid al-Adha holiday began on July 30.
About the restaurant))
Temperature is taken every time you enter the restaurant. There are antiseptics everywhere. The food at the hotel is varied and tasty. There is an a la carte restaurant, but for a fee)) As we were told, 10 euros per person. From seafood only fish, but the fish is different, red was also present. Meat was chicken and beef. There were a lot of fruits... watermelon, melon, cherry, peaches, nectarine, cherry plum, apples, plums, apricots, various grapes. There were also many desserts, very beautiful presentation of desserts. In the snack bar you can have a delicious meal... Everything that we have at McDonald's. In the garden bar from 15.00 they bake pancakes with cottage cheese, such as flat cakes. There is also free ice cream at 17.00. Airan is, but not always. In general, they feed and sing all day long. Cocktails are delicious, but not every bartender knows how to make delicious cocktails. Baileys is not original, but also delicious. The service of the staff is excellent, everyone is friendly, friendly, smiling. Many of the staff try to learn Russian and even Ukrainian.
Animation))
Guests of the hotel are entertained all day long. During the day, entertainment near the panoramic pool, and in the evening everyone is invited to performances or competitions... karaoke, Miss Hotel, Mr. Hotel... very interesting)) Special thanks to the entertainment manager Bora Bora, very attentive, but in general all the guys are great!!!
Sea)
The Aegean Sea is amazing! By the way, the hotel's beach has a blue flag (an environmental certificate issued to beaches). The sea is clean. You can swim both from the pontoon and from the shore. The coast is a little rocky, you can take aquashoes. But we went into the sea without them, okay))
The water park is open. There are few slides, but there are enough of them. There are only 5 pools on the territory, one indoor) You can swim in the pool until the evening.
Bodrum))
If you want to buy souvenirs, sweets, you can go to Bodrum by minibus. Get out to the main road (entrance to the hotel) minibuses that go to Bodrum stop there. The fare is 4 lira (1 € = 8 lira). They go to the Bodrum bus station, and back the same way... Come to the minibus, say what hotel you have and they will show you which minibus to get into. Almost all Turks understand English, and some even Russian!
