This is the first review that I write anywhere! Although I have been to Turkey more than once, it is worth blocking Russian tourists from this hotel. I am 29 years old, I was resting there with my mother. The hotel is on a mountain. It is old and not so well known locally. The girl Yana and the driver did not know where he was at all and asked all the locals where to take us.

This is the first review that I write anywhere! Although I have been to Turkey more than once, it is worth blocking Russian tourists from this hotel. I am 29 years old, I was resting there with my mother. The hotel is on a mountain. It is old and not so well known locally. The girl Yana and the driver did not know where he was at all and asked all the locals where to take us. We were driven for 4 hours, where to go 40 minutes !! ! And they didn’t lift us uphill, although all the drivers of the excursion tours calmly lifted and lowered. As a result, we went uphill at night with suitcases. Mom was barely breathing at the end. ((Further. . No one at the reception speaks English!! ! Only one person, even knew Russian, but he rarely visited the hotel and was rather an administrator and had other duties for him. His name is Kasim. If not for him, then everyone It would have been absolutely deplorable. . They gave me a number. And then I don’t know how to describe it. . . The stench is unbearable! Dirt. Stains. Walls made of plasterboard that crack as soon as someone slams the door from above. Audibility is perfect, it’s impossible to sleep. TV and half of the light bulbs in the room don't work. The sink doesn't drain the water. The plumbing is not just rusty, there is unprecedented corrosion! The water from the shower and sink is half salty and smelly! The room has never been cleaned for 7 days and towels with bed linen have not been changed! does not understand English and in general do not even look at you, they only laugh. . there was nothing to fix. There was hope for the hotel guide Christina. But when she came and began to offer sightseeing tours and we said that we would take tours elsewhere where it is cheaper and asked to help us change the room, she said: "You are so independent, change it yourself" I was shocked by such rudeness of the representative of the tour - opretor! They tried to explain that no one understands English here and we can't. But she brushed us aside! Although she knows Turkish herself! They didn’t buy a tour from her, and therefore she won’t help. Well, let's move on. . . The pool is not chlorinated! Something floated in it every day, and in the evening they poured pink liquid into it from a bucket or sprinkled something similar to salt. The food selection is incredibly poor. And it was impossible to eat. What was left from yesterday was thrown out again or mixed into unusual salads, where there could be potatoes, and tomatoes, and olives, peas, radishes, boiled pork and a bunch of everything else, filled with a miserable semblance of mayonnaise. I ate vegetable salad and fruit! No lemonade. There is no red wine. Tea, coffee, water, beer, white wine. The hotel has a shop where they took chips and snacks and ate like that. The price tag is definitely higher. But to the nearest store, stomp 5 km from the mountain) A collapsing shuttle (mini-bus) goes to the beach every 2 hours. I’ll clarify right away that I call a swim one and a half meters of pebbles from the road! With hobs, caps, glass and other garbage! By the way, it also swims in the sea) I never ventured to swim there. No entertainment. Again, all the cafes are 5 kilometers from the hotel down the mountain, and the late shuttle leaves for the hotel at 16:00. Since the road is long and hard, we were sitting in the room from 16:00 (We were very upset, we wanted to take tickets home the very next day, but since this is my mother’s first vacation for 10 years, we pulled ourselves together and filled almost every day with excursions and shopping. In there were 7 Russian tourists in the hotel. All the rest are Poles and the vast majority of the Turks themselves. They liked it there. They grouped, sang songs and rested. Everyone was looking at us strangely. . . In general, the hotel is not for Russian tourists and, in my opinion, needs a major overhaul for a long time !! ! I have already been in three-star hotels 2 times, but I have not seen anything like this anywhere! The view from the mountain is 5!! ! Everything else is 2!! ! I am writing so that you do not spoil your vacation. Because it doesn’t fit either as a hotel or as an active one! The photos were taken on the first and second days of being at the hotel. Cracks appeared on the third day, as a family with children settled above us and they rushed around the room. The room has never been removed. We cleaned the floor ourselves with rags. It is a pity that the stench and audibility cannot be conveyed in the photo. And also, any resident of the next room will be closer to you than the neighbor and will be able to freely enter your balcony and room.

Before staying at this hotel and in general in Bodrum, we considered our native Antalya coast ???? , but when we saw the photo of the hotel and the views, we definitely decided that we would go to Turkish Greece. We took vouchers for early booking, we will not do this again. Annex tour informed us a month before departure that the flight from Krasnodar in that direction was canceled and the flight would be from Rostov.

Before staying at this hotel and in general in Bodrum, we considered our native Antalya coast ???? , but when we saw the photo of the hotel and the views, we definitely decided that we would go to Turkish Greece. We took vouchers for early booking, we will not do this again. Annex tour informed us a month before departure that the flight from Krasnodar in that direction was canceled and the flight would be from Rostov. Well, at least with the help of other tourists outraged, like us, they organized a free round-trip transfer to Platov Airport. Then two weeks before they said that the departure time from Rostov was changing, they moved it to the late evening, so we got to our hotel in Yalykavak at two in the morning already on the next day of the tour, that is, the day was stolen from us. So we arrived at night, there was a change of Russian-speaking Ibragim, we were settled in a family room, as indicated in the ticket. We were shocked by the number, a narrow steep staircase to the second floor, there are two rooms on different sides and a bathroom between them. One room with a double bed and a balcony, the second - two lorries and a bedside table between them. Everywhere carpet with white scorched stains from bleach. Everything in the toilet is made of metal, everything is rusty. In the morning at the reception, the same Russian speaker was asked for a better room, they gave 20 dollars. They gave the same number, but instead of carpet there was creaky parquet and there was no rust in the bathroom, but the toilet bowl moved out all the time, we informed the staff about this, but there was no reaction. For the whole week we were not given one towel, and we were three adults and one child. Wiped their own for the beach. Our gifts and tips did not help. About food: I liked everything, and the meat was grilled once, and fried fish, and lyulya. Lots of cakes and pies. We write happy. Yuppies juices, tea, coffee are available all day long. The bar took cola, beer, gin and tonic - all good. The wine is terrible. The slides didn't work, they were never ridden. In the evenings, the DJ played local songs and some danced languidly. From the hotel to the beach there is a scheduled bus, we often went on foot. The beach is not cleaned, there are few sunbeds, but there were also few who wanted to go to the beach, Europeans and Turks mostly sat by the pool. There is a house near the beach with tea, coffee, juices and bathrooms (none of the other beaches have such conditions). We walked to the center of Yalikavak, five minutes from the beach. You can buy gifts both at the market in the center, and in Bodrum itself, at the market near the station, the prices are very normal, and you can bargain. In terms of food (cookies, chocolates, nuts), the Migros supermarket is good. Do not buy gifts (textiles, treats, fur / clothing) in stores that are taken on excursions, it is expensive and there is no choice. All this can be taken in lira in the market. From the excursions: we went to Pamukkale (expensive, hot, long, nothing special) and for a walk on a pirate ship (excellent, fun, the landscapes are unreal, the sea is gorgeous, the children had fun, there was animation and a foam party). Bottom line: we regretted not choosing a hotel in Bodrum itself, we are lovers of walking and shopping, this is not in Yalikavka, but the views are simply charming!

Terrace with a view that the restaurant is in the photo, Closed. . . Dine either in the scorching sun by the pool or in a stuffy little restaurant.... so many chemicals are poured into the pool that it’s scary... In the morning the pool was marsh-colored after manipulations with chemistry, it turned blue....the beach from the hotel where the minibus takes is terrible . . the sunbeds are broken, the umbrellas are tired for a very long time... everything is stolen in the room in a row cigarettes, cosmetics, money, even chewing gum..... I do not advise you to go there....the manager does not react to complaints that theft in the hotel does not react at all....In general, one photo in reality is HORRIBLE !!! !

We really liked this hotel. There are of course small flaws, but they are not so important. The food was good, quite varied, the sweets were different, but they tasted the same. Fruits-melon, watermelon, plums, apples, oranges, were, maybe I forgot something else. The hotel is very beautiful, with a beautiful view of the sea, mountains.

We really liked this hotel. There are of course small flaws, but they are not so important. The food was good, quite varied, the sweets were different, but they tasted the same. Fruits-melon, watermelon, plums, apples, oranges, were, maybe I forgot something else. The hotel is very beautiful, with a beautiful view of the sea, mountains. The climate is simply superb and comfortable. Since the hotel is located in the town of Yalikovak, we went to Bodrum by minibus from the station and it cost 5 liras. Prices on the market are certainly high, but you can bargain somewhere, even to very reasonable prices. And there are a lot of foreigners in the hotel, Germans, French, etc. There were almost no Russians when we arrived, but it’s true then it got a lot of fun, in short, how lucky. The hotel staff also only understand English. Only one understands Russian. And in general, sellers in Yalikovak do not speak Russian. Without knowledge of English, at least the most basic, it’s hard to get by. There is almost no animation in the hotel, there is a Turkish night on Mondays, in principle, that's all. But this is a 3 * + hotel, we didn’t really need it. We went fishing in the evening to the beach and went to the city, entertained ourselves. There are no comments on the number, everything suited us, it was clean, they cleaned it every day, it was good, the kandik worked, the shower was also wonderful. I forgot to mention the sea. The beach is about 700 meters from the hotel. But from the hotel there is a free shuttle bus according to the schedule. The beach itself is rocky and sandy, more rocky, it is better to take special slippers with you. But we are used to it, the stones are not big, our legs have not been beaten once. There is a cafe on the beach, there are drinks, tea, coffee, hot dogs, for a snack, who are hungry. In general, we are satisfied, we had a great rest. I put 8 quite objectively. It falls short of 10 only because there is no animation and the beach is not nearby. That's all. You won't regret it, For this 3, not every 4 can compare with this hotel. So the choice is yours. Good luck. ! ! And good rest. : )))

The hotel was chosen for a honeymoon. Inexpensive but in a beautiful location, not the Titanic . Cozy, small, quiet but with a twist. The hotel staff is active, friendly, not boring, helpful. I quote "on the second day you will know all the staff in person" - this is true. The hotel rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious.

The hotel was chosen for a honeymoon. Inexpensive but in a beautiful location, not the Titanic . Cozy, small, quiet but with a twist.
The hotel staff is active, friendly, not boring, helpful. I quote "on the second day you will know all the staff in person" - this is true.
The hotel rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious. Shower, toilet sometimes, with problems, but they are promptly eliminated.
The food is varied and delicious. Lots of vegetables, various salads. Meat every day, rarely fish. Breakfast: vegetables, croutons / hot buns / eggs, olives (4 types), sausages, sausage, cheese, cottage cheese, all kinds of cereals / oatmeal / nuts with milk. Fruits (grapefruit, watermelon, apples, fruit salad, grapes). Lunch and dinner I will not paint from the memorable: Turkish pizza every lunch and afternoon snack, cream soup, plentiful dessert.
Hotel: the highlight is, of course, its location. It may be inconvenient for people with disabilities and for lovers of the first line, but it's worth it! Resting, eating, swimming in the pool and just spending time on the territory of the hotel, you will enjoy stunning views of the sea and mountains, the city with its bright architecture, and meet indescribable sunsets. Beautiful in itself and the location and structure of the hotel.
Very romantic, beautiful!
