We arrived at the hotel at 6 am. Checked in at 10.15, although by all indications this season no one has lived in the room yet. The room had non-working air conditioning, refrigerator, exhaust fan, poor water flow in the shower, no shelves in the shower. Waste baskets and a cellophane-wrapped toilet brush were in the wardrobe. There is cracked plaster on the walls, a dirty washbasin, a thick layer of dust at the bottom of the mirror. Lucky - we had soft whole towels and bedding. According to other vacationers, their towels and linen were tattered. Our remarks at the reception were listened to, but did not react in any way. Only the next day, after our meeting with a representative of the tour operator, they responded to her comments on our complaints. The air conditioner was repaired in the dining room, the refrigerator was replaced, and the room was cleaned. The drain and ventilation remained the same.
Do not believe the beautiful photos on the hotel website - a beautiful view of the sea is the only beautiful thing in this hotel. The area is not well maintained. There is no animation (for us it was a plus) - the playground is overgrown with grass and littered, the stage and the amphitheater for animation are dirty, stained from spilled liquids, on the table on the stage there is a tattered tablecloth forgotten from last year. The territory of the hotel begins to be cleaned only at 8 am, and very slowly. Therefore, be prepared for the fact that in the morning the steps will be flooded with drinks, disposable plates and cups with leftover food and drinks will fall near the pool. The tennis court and basketball court, which are present in the advertising photos, have not been painted for many years, the plants on the territory are not well-groomed. Rubbish and papers are scattered in every nook and cranny. The tour operator said that the wind scatters the papers (supposedly, this is a feature of the local climate), but no one removes them, they lay there in the same places both on the first and last day of our stay. Furniture - chairs in the dining room and armchairs in the lobby are very dirty, all stained.
Separate words about the beach - the line is the first, but you need to walk 300 meters to the beach from the hotel. Reeds and neglected trees grow in front of the hotel. The view from the sea to the hotel is frankly deplorable. The beach is a narrow, narrow strip along a busy road. So be careful when crossing the road, especially with children! there is dirty sand on the beach, seaweed is thrown out by the sea, which the staff does not clean. There are black spots on the sand in places, it feels like the remains of machine oil (I think from the proximity of the road). In any case, we did not see such spots on the other beach. The beach is separated from the road by frail bushes, so all the dust from the road settles on this beach.


Nowhere is written, but not far from the hotel on a nearby hill there is a busy construction site. Not only does it spoil its beauty, dust from the construction site literally permeates the whole air. All local vegetation, although in lush color, but with a specific coating of dust.
Climate - be prepared for the fact that geographically the hotel is located in such a way that strong north winds often blow here. In early June, this was a big obstacle to swimming in the sea. The beach of the hotel, although shallow near the shore (good for children), but the waves and wind were very strong and it was just cold to swim and sunbathe on the beach. Therefore, the whole crowd of vacationers crowded around the pool.

In bad weather at sea and with a large population of the hotel, there are not enough places near the pool for everyone. In the basement there is a hammam and a sauna. But be careful going down there - the water from the slide by the pool pours directly onto the steps leading to the hammam, so it is always very slippery there and there is a lot of water.
In the first two days of my stay at the hotel, I was shocked by all this. We bought a tour in a decent (according to rating and reviews) four, but this does not even pull on 3 *. Although the operator said to our claims that the category of the hotel is determined by the number of bars (there are 3 of them), the first line of the beach and the presence of a pool. It's all present, but WHAT quality is it? I have already talked about the beach. Bars - spirits as stated - local. But if earlier, when relaxing in 3-4 * to Turkey (Kemer region), cocktails interfered with at least liquors, then here they interfere with packaged juices, it is impossible to drink. Of the alcoholic beverages, only beer was decent. And I even liked the local vodka - Rakia (albeit with a pectus flavor).


An important point is that there is nothing to dry wet clothes on, they are dried on the parapets of balconies. There are tiny balconies in a separate 2-storey building, but you can at least tie a rope on them. Be sure to take it with you, and clothespins.
The surrounding infrastructure is non-existent. There are simply NO shops, exchange offices, souvenir shops, etc. here. The nearest grocery stores are only in Turgotreis (2.5 km) or towards Bodrum (3 km). Travel to Bodrum 9 lira, travel time 40 min, to Turgutreis 4 lira, time 20 min. What else struck me was that there are NO toilets on the beaches either (neither in the hotel, nor in Bodrum and on the nearest decent beach). The surrounding landscape is scorched hills built up with monotonous 2-3 storey villas.

In order not to give the impression that I’m only swearing at everything, I’ll tell you about the positive points: wifi catches in the rooms (at least we had one), the safe in the room is free, the food is quite tasty, almost every day there was beef, french fries, fish (only horse mackerel), baking, grilling. From 10.00 until the evening, brewed coffee is brewed (not the best, but not as crappy as from the machine). There is ice cream every day. Decent beer. The staff in the dining room is very good, quickly cleaned, attentive. On the beach - modern sun loungers, shower, bar, pier, the sea near the shore is shallow, wooden paths. Great sauna, hammam, swimming pool. The sea in June was very clean, although cool.

I will not recommend this hotel to anyone, I was completely disappointed. Although by the end of the holiday they had already adapted to the conditions and even got some pleasure from the rest. Tips: we found the nearest decent beach by walking along the path along the coast (it is possible along the highway) in the direction opposite to Turgutreis, about 1 km from the hotel beach, behind the lighthouse. A beautiful sandy beach, with clean sand, protected by a cape from the wind, there is a cafe there. Don't be lazy, go there. There is a nice wild beach along the way. Sok chain store in the same direction, you can along the beach along the coast, then along the highway and beautiful villas 3 km from the hotel (it is marked on Google maps). In general, the scenery is much more beautiful in that direction. Take a walk. Take clothesline and clothespins with you. Change money at the airport or at the hotel reception.
