Check-in and room
We took a ticket to 3 *, where we were accommodated. Settlement did not wait long. Arrived at seven, had breakfast, walked along the waterfront and at 9 were already in the room, paying nothing extra. There was a very nice and polite guy at the reception that day. The room was small but comfortable. Large bed, wardrobe, bedside table, table with mirror, TV (who is interested in broadcasting several Russian channels, we found music and sometimes included in the background). Please note that most triple rooms do not have a balcony, only suites. In general, the room is clean, cleaned if you turn on the "Make up the room" button before leaving. The bathroom is very small, the shower is tiny, maybe people with large bodies will not be very comfortable. We were satisfied with everything, because we only planned to spend the night in the room.
Hotel area
When I saw the pool of our hotel, I was very upset. He was small, and I planned to swim a lot on vacation.

But as it turned out, the guests of the troika can use the entire infrastructure of the four. And the pool there is very large : ))) Just impressive. Only for some reason he worked only until 7 pm. Towels need to go down to the spa, which is minus the first floor of the four and you will be given them in exchange for cards, which are given together with the key to the room at check-in. There are enough sunbeds by the pool, but if you want to take a seat under an umbrella, get up earlier) There is a DJ by the pool, he starts putting music around 11. Music is different. And Turkish, and English, and Russian, played jazz several times. Sometimes it can be loud, especially if your lounger is close to the DJ. The animation was minimal, once there were some games and some dancing. In general, the area is beautiful and well-groomed. From four you can climb to the roof of the hotel and admire the beautiful views of the sea and the city.
Food and alcohol
To be honest, the food is very mediocre.
The only thing that was high - it's desserts and pastries. But we tried them a little, because I did not want to gain weight on vacation. Breakfast starts at 7.30. To fry an omelet every day, here I allowed myself to take a simit - a crunchy Turkish bagel in sesame, there is oil, various jams, yogurt, cereals, vegetables, olives, cheeses (the most delicious - suluguni). In principle, breakfast is good, but monotonous. Lunch started at 12.30. It was necessary to go down the stairs in hot weather, it was strange, it was often unclear what was mixed up there. Daily fig. It's delicious, but boring. Several times there were delicious baked eggplants. I liked the soup only once. From cold to lunch a lot of vegetables, greens, legumes, babanaguzh, once there was a salad with fish. Be careful when choosing salads. It is better not to take those that are heavily filled with sauce. My sister was ill once and we think it's probably because of some dish.
After lunch there is noon and it was given burgers (most likely soy cutlet, we did not understand) and very tasty potatoes in a peasant or french fries. There was always something grilled for dinner. One evening there was a very tasty fish. The fruits were watermelons, apples and oranges. In general, it is difficult to get rid of the hungry, but the delicacy of these dishes is very far)) Alcohol drives beer (Efes) and white wine. I had pink with some strange taste and red can still be drunk. Cocktails - water. Whiskey sucks.
In the evenings I took a glass of ice cream. But this drink is for amateurs who like anise. They also gave cola, sprite, some diluted juices from the machine. But the biggest horror of this hotel is coffee. She is disgusting. And this is unfortunate, because it was in Turkey in Istanbul that I once tried the most delicious coffee in my life.

If you are a coffee connoisseur like me, then go drink it in a cafe opposite the hotel, where they make real coffee in Turkish and very nice staff.
But immediately ask for a double leek, because a single sip) In the same hotel, we had dinner last night with delicious grilled shrimp, because the hotel, of course, did not indulge. I liked the fact that both hotels had a distribution line and you could choose where to eat. The trio was calmer and more comfortable. And when I wanted more party, we went to four. There are also tables under the canopy in front of the hotel and you can also go there and eat with incredibly beautiful sea views.
Sea and beach
The sea is beautiful and clean. But there were few algae. Perhaps we are in this period. The hotel has its own beach, but it is small and narrow. Sunbeds on the first line always floated in the water. Watch your sneakers) Sunset in the sea is comfortable, on the beach shallow pebbles.
There are also sunbeds on the pier and from there you can also go up the ladder to the sea. To be honest, I expected more from the beach.
A boy walks around the hotel (unfortunately, did not remember the name) and sells a yacht tour of the bays and various beaches with swimming near the open sea for $ 20. Take it, you will not regret it. We were delighted and swam by the clear sea to our heart's content. Just take a lot of sunscreen, water and try to take a place under the canopy. Also keep in mind that this is a party and the music will be loud, and everyone around will be drinking and smoking.
Contingent
Many Turks, Russians, Ukrainians and Poles have a rest in the hotel. There are families with children, so the pool was not always quiet. There were few people after our arrival, but before departure we increased noticeably. So that the waiters did not have time to clean the tables in time.
Personnel
In general, the staff is polite and friendly.
But there was a situation when one of the employees of the bar invited to have a drink with him after his change.

When I refused, he got angry and the rest of the rest looked at me angrily and served me kindly, with a crooked face. It was unpleasant, I had to avoid it and go for a drink at another bar in the hotel lobby. Please note that the hotel staff speaks very poor English, not to mention Russian or Ukrainian. Which was very strange for me. Some did not even understand wine, beer. I had to use an interpreter often. The distribution is not talked about at all. You just poke your finger, which is very uncomfortable. For me, as a person who does not eat meat, it was difficult to see every dish, wondering if it is there or not. But there were a few employees who spoke English at a high level. One of them helped us a lot when we had problems with the transfer during the eviction.
In general, we are satisfied with the rest.
If you are not a very pampered tourist, feel free to choose this hotel, you will not regret it!
