1. Features of the climate.
The Aegean Sea is ALWAYS cold! If you are flying with small children or chilly ladies, I advise you to skydive before arrival. YOU WILL NOT LIKE IT HERE. The water was 20-22 degrees. We, with an 11-year-old boy, lovers of swimming in a red flag, had a lot of fun. The wind ALWAYS blows, sometimes south, sometimes north. There is a strait and mountains, so calm is a rarity. By the sea, in the evening, the wind blows away, there is no wind near the pools and disgustingly warm water. : )
And here are the pluses - perfectly clean air, especially in the morning. And the emerald refreshing water is full of fish schools. Sand 10 cm under the sun loungers on the beach, coastline and ford - stones cannot be entered. There is a separate harbor for kids, but better from the pier (height 1-1.2m)
2. Hotel and service
There were 2 beds in the room, which moved easily and the next day they were covered as one double bed. The child fit on a portable rather spacious bed.

The service is normal, no one bothers with offers, but at the first request they solve everything quickly. Housekeeping and cleanliness of the rooms is quite good. An interesting landscape from the rooms - the sea and the islands. Mosquitoes are not poisoned, therefore, every man for himself : )
LCD TV, satellite, a lot of programs, but I don’t watch them at home, so I can’t say anything. Minibar with beer, cola and water updated daily.
_WI-FI EVERYWHERE FREE OF CHARGE_ - in the rooms, restaurant, pool, on the pier. Skype voice and browsing - sane, the video shuts up.
As it turned out, there were free mountain bikes. You need to "shake" the reception / animators.
The animation is very weak (and thank God, let me rest in peace), there are games by the pool, there is NO children's employment, which is rather unfortunate, the child had no one to torment from the educators.
There is free billiards, paid bowling and a shooting range (air and laser)
3. Kitchen
We were in Bodrum for the first time, before that - Kemer, Belek, Okurkalar (everywhere UALL). The set of dishes here is 1.5-2 times poorer. You should not expect admiration from dishes, you eat to live. If you have been to Dolphin Botanica before, then most likely you will die of hunger or outrage. Most likely, the proximity to Europe has an effect here, where for breakfast there are only croutons and coffee (by the way, coffee here is full of G, automatic nescafe). However, the bars are open all day and you do not have to run around the clock to different places. Ice cream is real Algida, not a sticky mass, as in other Belek hotels. In the morning fresh orange juice - fill up.
4. Audience
There are a lot of educated Englishmen and Germans, there are Turks and Iranians. EVERYONE is very calm, no one screams or makes noise (hello Botanik, where 100 million children were torn to pieces by the amusement park : ), and no one gets drunk (hello Antedon)
If you are waiting for Russian-speaking communication, fights for sunbeds, queues at 19-00 for dinner, noise and din, you are not here.
Conclusion:
Quiet, new, pretty good hotel with a wonderful view, mediocre food, good drinks, refreshing-invigorating : ) sea, fresh sea air and the breeze sometimes overturning empty glasses on the tables.

Will I come here again? Probably not (but I really want to), since my wife swam only once in the sea (we don’t swim in pools) - she’s cold.
