We traveled with a 9 year old child.
ROOM Placed us immediately upon arrival. The staff is very attentive: the employee helped carry the suitcase to the room. We were placed on the 2nd floor with one double bed, there is also a single bed in the room. The room was overlooking the pool. In the room: safe, TV, mini fridge. Number as a number, no complaints.
CLEANING. The room was cleaned every day. If you really find fault, I can say that the floors were constantly sticky, shampoos were given out on demand. We brought shampoos, conditioners and soap with us. We didn’t get hung up on cleaning, because. only came to the room to sleep.

LANGUAGE. In the hotel, the animator who leads the evening show and an auxiliary worker speaks a little in Russian. We did not meet more Russian-speaking staff at the hotel. The shops also speak English. You can often find prices for goods in pounds. You can also pay in lira or dollars. This area is very popular with the British and the Turks love them. As one Turk told me, they have money). If you do not speak English, I advise you to download the translator application to your phone.
FOOD. The food was delicious, BUT a lot of spicy dishes. Finding food for the child was a problem: pepper is not spared and is added to almost all dishes. I love spicy dishes, but even for me, the food seemed very spicy: meat, chicken, soups (I didn’t like any), potatoes and even pasta burn everything... I put literally a little food on the plate to taste whether the dish was spicy , it happened that there were not sharp ones))). For breakfast for children, you can choose 3 types of cereal with milk, pancakes, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs. Very tasty sweets, there were practically no fruits in early June: oranges, sour watermelon, apples and sometimes green melon. Free ice cream for children and adults from 14.30. In the dining area there is a refrigerator with water and ayran, bottles of water can be taken to the room or on an excursion, which is very convenient, because. on excursions, ordinary water is sold for $ 1 per bottle. So take with you to the beach, excursions, a few bottles of water in your room.
BEACH hotel is something))). Pond overgrown with reeds. The minibus from the hotel to the beach runs at 9.45 and 10.45, it goes back only in the evening, i. e. You won't have time for lunch if you're waiting for the bus. I advise you to relax on the city beach. The city beach is very beautiful, the water is clear. Stock up on suitable shoes, because. in shoes with thin soles and barefoot, it hurts to walk on pebbles.
I would advise tourists who stay at the hotel for the first time, to get acquainted with the area, take a free bus to the hotel's beach. While you are eating, you will see and remember where the bus turns, drive past the city beach. The bus does not stop anywhere, even upon request, the driver has clear instructions to take people to the hotel beach. When leaving the bus, go back (there is only one road, don't get lost) and after 5-10 minutes you will reach the city beach. There are many shops along the beach, where you can also book excursions. You can return to the hotel by minibus (dolmush). Dolmushi are white fixed-route taxis. You need to take a minibus to Hesaron, or just say the name of the hotel. The price of the minibus for June 2017 is 3.75 lira per person. Leaving the minibus, you will need to turn left and you will have to walk uphill to the hotel for about 10 minutes.

HOW TO GET TO THE BEACH BY YOURSELF. Leaving the hotel, go down the hill, after a minute or two, with the usual step, you will see the adjoining road on the right and the water slides of the hotel below (I don’t remember what it’s called), continue walking along your road without turning anywhere, soon go to another road (landmark - in the middle there is a tree on the road, there is a red road sign on it with the inscription DUR, on the right - a garbage dump), turn right (pass the garbage dump) and then go straight, the road will be straight for some time, and then there will be a descent down (landmark iron red and white posts in the middle of the road ), go down and see a lot of shops and another road, it will be perpendicular to the road you were walking on. Immediately on the right is a minibus stop (remember where you got on the minibus, so that when returning back, stop the driver in the same place). Entering the minibus, immediately pass the fare (3.75 lira per person). On the way back you also take a minibus to Khesoronu. Minibuses run frequently, every 10-15 minutes.
WHERE TO EXCHANGE LIRA
The hotel usually does not have a favorable exchange rate, do not listen to the guide, and do not change money at the hotel. On the street, the course is more profitable. You can compare yourself. The nearest exchange office is opposite the minibus stop that goes to the beach (I described above how to get to the stop).
EXCURSIONS
If you have money and do not want to bother, then you can take excursions from a hotel guide.
On the street (next to the nearest exchanger, see above), we took an excursion to the Ovacik Water World water park. For a child, ask for a discount, and for an adult, you can also ask to drop the price. For two, we paid 80 lire (50 lire for an adult + 30 lire for a child). At the indicated hour, a taxi pulled up for us and after 10-15 minutes. we were at the water park. At the entrance to the water park, we saw a sign 60 lira for an adult, 40 lira for a child of 6-12 years old and were pleasantly surprised, it turned out that we paid 80 lira instead of 100. A taxi also arrived at the indicated hour. Now about the water park itself. The water park is small, only 8 slides, not counting the children's area, there is a small pool with waves. The water park has its own website, do not be too lazy to go to the site to see photos in order to have an idea about it in advance. Despite the fact that the water park a small child liked it there.
We also took a trip to Dalyan. On the excursion we caught blue crab, saw Caretta-Caretta turtles, visited the Ituzu (sand) beach. We were transported along the river in boats. At the end of the tour, we were brought to the mud, it was possible to smear ourselves with 4 types of clay. In general, I liked the tour, but it takes a whole day, which is tiring for children and this tour is definitely not worth the money that hotel guides ask for it. Once again I will repeat and write that it is better to take excursions not in a hotel, but in agencies on the street, where they are much cheaper.

Paragliding is developed in Oludeniz, you can fly in tandem with an instructor. A minibus goes to the mountain from which jumps are made, a magnificent view opens from the mountain.
ANIMATION
With small children, I would not recommend this hotel. Children will be bored: there is no animation. There is also no children's menu.
