"+" The territory is small, green, well-groomed. Large swimming pool. Excellent sea, clean, calm. Entry into the water either from the shore on small pebbles and pebbles, or from the pier.
“-” But there are not enough sunbeds on the beach, you have to borrow in the morning.
Meals: In the main restaurant: chicken or soy meat, a lot of salads, fruits: oranges, peaches, guava, apples, grapes. For dinner, a lot of sweets, mostly biscuits in various forms. Instant coffee, diluted. Juices are artificial.
In addition, fast-food: french fries, cutlet, vermicelli, salads.
Tea with pastries.
You won't go hungry, but there isn't much tasty food. "+ -".

Service is normal. The room is more or less cleaned. But they put bottles with something unnamed detergent, either shampoo, or gel, or maybe something else. Towels changed once in 7 days. The waiters in the restaurant are friendly. But they hardly speak Russian. The same goes for bartenders in bars.
The rooms are small. More than half overlook the walls. The balconies are tiny, it is not pleasant to sit to rest. The safe ($22) is built into the bottom shelf of the cabinet, which is not convenient to use.
At the reception, one manager, Natalie, speaks excellent Russian. The rest are not.
The porter is alone and, of course, does not have time to help everyone.
Animation is weak. Some days not at all.
Settlement since 1400, you have to change clothes in the toilet.
Conclusion: you can relax, but not perfectly.
About the operator Turtess. Disgusting. Treating customers like enemies. They say "what came. " The main task of the guide is to cheat money in stores in order to receive commissions. Guide Elena only does this. In addition, he communicates very arrogantly and unpleasantly, or rather, he talks through his teeth. Doesn't want to give advice or answer questions. Prices for excursions are inflated by almost 2 times. It is better to go to Bodrum (15 minutes by minibus and $ 2) and buy there. Although in the "street" agencies the groups are multilingual and the guide tells much less than from the operator, but everything else is the same.
And the last. The flight was moved 4 hours ahead. Instead of 12 o'clock they left at 8 am. Thus, the time of stay was further reduced. I find this outrageous. So, half a day is lost upon arrival, and a whole day upon departure. The operator simply steals their money from customers. And they were taken to the airport as unnecessary cargo. The bus arrived 15 minutes later, not a word, not a “hello”, they loaded it, drove it. Near the airport they explained what to do at the airport, as if no one knew.
