We rested at the hotel from 06/25/12 to 06/6/12, with friends.
We arrived in the morning (at 9), at the reception on arrival we were asked to wait until 11 (they said they were ready to pay, but they said that there were no rooms)), we went to have breakfast, then to the bar, at 11 I came up asking how with the accommodation, they say wait another hour, the rooms are not ready, started talking about money, found out that buildings 4 and 5 (these are at the main restaurant) are 7 bucks a day from the room, and the remaining 30 bucks from the room, after bargaining, agreed on 40 for two, and we will have to wait another hour, we decided they don’t pay anything at all, it’s not so much to wait. In general, we were settled in building 1 at 12 o’clock without money.
The territory is of course huge, and the 1st building is the farthest, it’s a bit far to go to it, but tolerable, then they didn’t even notice it.

There are different ways of passage and no matter how annoying it is. That's just the music in the neighboring hotel plays decently, and during the day, when we dozed in the room, after dinner, we always woke up at 15 o'clock. came to the rooms late.
The rooms themselves are not bad, but they are cleaned badly. When checking in with friends, the room was poorly cleaned, dust under the beds. We and they got rooms with two beds, although they asked for double beds, so when they moved the beds, we were horrified at how much dust was under them, such a feeling that they haven’t wiped it for a very long time. It seemed to be normal for us, but it looks like our beds were moved up to us. Shampoo, gel, conditioner, all this is three in one, a tube hangs on the walls, it’s added three in one, so we have and they had one at a time, we didn’t have soap, they had it. We had slippers, they didn’t.
We called the reception, they came, they added, they reported, they cleaned up. After the whole rest they cleaned up badly, they didn’t report water regularly, there were also problems with toilet paper, I had to either call or look for it myself, as someone already wrote here, they caught a cleaner, they took it to restaurant. That is, it was fun, the first days, then they got used to it and going from the restaurant to the room they took water, seeing the cleaner they took paper, going into the room they immediately checked whether everything was reported, if not, they went to look for the cleaner.
In general, cleaning at the hotel is not good, the territory is huge, and there are not enough cleaners. There was a case, they walked from our building along the bottom, along the path, they spilled something, don’t know Pepsi, don’t know syrup, in general, it was easy, so my wife’s slate stuck, and the strap jumped out, that is, the slate deteriorated. After we went there for three days, everything stuck, they bypassed this place.
The beach is also poorly cleaned, in the morning you come there are straws from under the cocktail, gobies, garbage pots are full. they cleaned it, threw it into trash cans near the bars, but not everyone did that, and when the beach was empty at lunchtime, you can imagine what it looked like.

About the beach, and in general about sunbeds, there are enough sunbeds, but many are used to taking places almost in the evening, they will throw a towel on them, or some other things, and some are straight pebbles (stones), such as scored a place and leave, come to 10 -11, they are stingy, lie down a little and leave again, some lie down for an hour to 11 and come in the evening, at 16-17 for another hour. 9, the places were mostly occupied, but after walking through the rows they found free sunbeds, or on which stones lay stupidly and took them, carried them to the sea, and there they lay sunbathing. sunbeds were repeated, but after three not always, yet many towels were also taken away and there were already many free sunbeds. It was more problematic to find places by the pools after dinner.
There is a lot of food, but it is monotonous, you won’t stay hungry, but you won’t get pleasure from food either. For some dishes there is a queue, such as meat on a spindle, dorado fish, sometimes for an omelette, and before leaving even for Turkish pies, there with meat, cheese. Alcohol is bad, people are poisoned by it, I also got drunk with it, with tequila, after talking with people, I found out that I’m not the only one, only who needs three glasses, and who needs more, and even the workers themselves say that you can’t drink these drinks. We don’t first time in Turkey, and every year it gets worse and worse with alcohol. Beer-tuborg is so-so, efest is better.
There is a pharmacy outside the territory, there is a quite adequate seller, he helped a lot with the choice of medicine. And in general there are many different outlets, so the price there is at least 2 times cheaper than on the hotel premises.
What I liked was the service in the main restaurant. Places are cleaned very quickly (not compared with last year's adora, but with others where they were), they run around, they are interested in what you need, beer, wine, etc. They bring everything quickly, but when we gave 5 bucks, we didn’t even have time to finish drinking, we were already carrying a new portion. What I didn’t like was the chairs, damn it’s really uncomfortable to sit on them, it’s interesting that the hotel authorities themselves tried to sit on it, or was it specially chosen that way, so that they don’t sit a lot in the restaurant. As for the places in the restaurant, there aren’t enough places for everyone at once, if you don’t come by 19-05, then it’s already problematic to find places, then it’s better to come by 20-00, there will be places, here’s the truth of some dishes maybe not enough, like dorado, some sweets. A little more about food: for example, Turkish cakes, which are made in the bar during the day, I noticed that they put little meat, cheese there, for example, if a Turk comes up and asks for them in their own language, then they put more , we asked, they don’t seem to understand. But we did it like that, took a cake, took rolls with meat in another m bar, the bun was removed, the meat was put in a cake, now the shawarma is ready.

Yes, that’s what I didn’t like yet, in all the hotels where we were, there was, as it were, an information board that, what time would it be today, there is no such stand here, because of this we missed a beautiful show with fireworks, we were at that time in a Turkish restaurant , and if we had known about this show in advance, we certainly would not have stayed there.

At the end of our vacation, many Turks arrived, once again I was convinced that it was just locusts, sweeping away everything.
And yet, on the last day of rest, they rested nearby with a small child, so their child was covered with some kind of rash, someone said that it was chicken pox.
P. S. I re-read something, and somehow everything turned out gloomy, it’s not like that, the hotel is still not bad, the beach is wide, large, the territory is beautiful, children’s animation is excellent (by talking with people). Adult animation is also not bad, the guys tried very hard , Marina climbed into the sea twice a day. A normal family hotel, although many dads do not leave their rooms for several days after one or two days.
We concluded for ourselves that Turkey seems to be closing for us, the price / offer no longer matches, for this money you can already afford other countries.
