Location
Convenient, on a small slope with pools on the terraces. If you read the reviews of the "martyrs" who are lazy to go up dozens of steps to the sea - it's fat sloths) On the left - a stitch that we called "bypass", it is the fastest way to get to the beach, past terraces with sunbeds and bars.
Directly in front of the hotel is a spacious dolphin-shaped pool, small at one end so that children can swim. Nearby are children's slides, mini-water park and slides for the little ones. Below - a terrace with a swimming pool and two bars.
On the beach - not crowded. The best places are in the gazebos on the left, so you should wake up early to take them. Sandy beach, clean and limited from the sea by a strip of panels at a depth of 2 meters. Further this strip of sea urchins do not settle.
From the terraces near the gazebos you can watch the sea inhabitants even without a mask! Crabs, lots of fish and shellfish.

In the evenings the beach is deserted, so after dinner you can enjoy the coolness with a bunch of grapes and wine. And with children you can spend hours catching crabs of various calibers, which climb on the stones in the dark.

In 5 minutes procession - Didim's own town. There is a good amusement park and several supermarket shops in the immediate vicinity.
At the opposite end of the town - the ruins of the temple of Apollo, I read that some of the best preserved. That is, these are not the two broken columns to which excursions lead to other cities and tell stories for hours) This is a really noteworthy complex of buildings. But the main advantage is that you can go there by minibus or taxi, rather than book a tour. Entrance for a few euros.
At the reception you can arrange a day water tour by small boat. The main thing is not to expect that you will go to the islands! This is a tour to just shop in different bays, and on the islands the ban is banned.
It cost us $ 20 per person, including lunch on the boat + transfer by bus from the hotel.

Food
Delicious and varied. Queues are very rare and only if you sleep until 10 : ) Grill kitchen - just great! Every day a different kind of fish (something like sea bream, mackerel, perch) or chicken or meat. 5 varieties of baklava - the best tried anywhere. The rest is traditional - a bunch of varieties of salads, sweets, fast food, cheese, herbs, cream soups, cereals, other fruits every day. Near the beach there is another fast food kitchen (burgers, french fries, chicken, etc. ) For lunch there - Belgian waffles for kids. By the big pool at lunch - corn. Nearby - a bar of ice cream for the little ones. In addition to the main hall, there are two other restaurants - fish and Turkish, but as I see it serves almost the same dishes as in the main hall. But of course there is a better landscape, no noisy neighbors nearby

Alcohol
Wine - good, beer - Tuborg (not bad even for spoiled by local beers such as Mykulynetske and Opillya), vodka - negana, whiskey - so-so.
Two disadvantages - not enough normal full-size 0.5 glasses of beer glasses : )

Well, there is a lack of NORMAL full-size coffee. That is, no big lattes or Americano! Just look at the miniature cups that need 3-4 per adult)

Premises and territory
Clean and clean. Lovers of cold for the first couple of nights will have to sleep just in front of the air conditioner (like me), and then get used to it. In the bathroom no cheap tiles on the walls - just marble slabs) Probably in them near his deposit : ) Nothing is broken. Balconies - spacious, with a drying ladder. Even from the windows that do not face the sea - a good view of the salt flats, trees in the area or olive groves.
Cons - in the heat of the refrigerator works at a minimum, ie wine and fruit will be cold, and ice cream is guaranteed to melt.
Solved by an ice pack that can be picked up at the bar.
There is a paramedic on the territory, but it is better not to count on it ...to stick a plaster or to pull out needles of hedgehogs. Take with you antiemetic, antipyretic, pancreatin, antiallergic, act. coal and antipyretic (gold standard of children's first-aid kits)
In the lobby there is a shop where you can buy sunscreen, a circle, sneakers, a vest for the little ones or some other forgotten little thing.

Personnel
Polite and attentive. That is, there is nothing to complain about at all. English-speaking.
Well, another advantage - the almost complete absence of Russians! That is, no drunken screams, vomiting in the corners, ragulism, garbage under him, sharpanina, primitive pop from the columns and other attributes of the branch of Ros. "zaporebrika"! ! ! ! ! Russian was understood by several people from the reception and a boy from the spa. Music - Turkish or English. Most tourists are Turks, less - Ukrainians and Europeans.
A vivid testimony to the humanity of the staff: The younger forgot her favorite toy in the room. The tour operator, at the request of the bodies of their representative in the hotel, unsubscribed every 24 years from Ukraine, who picked it up and sent it to us by Nova Poshta a day later.
In short - I recommend, especially with a child.
