I must say right away that the hotel does not pull at 5 *** in any way. Nowhere, neither at the entrance, nor at the entrance, reception, there was a hotel logo with 5 stars. Those who really have them do not hesitate to once again draw them anywhere. There were no stars here. One of the 2 elevators did not work for 3 days. At the time of departure, it had not been fixed.
We arrived at the hotel with two families, we were there at about 10 am. Friends sat down pretty quickly, within a couple of hours. We had to wait until 2:30 pm. We didn’t waste time, got cards for towels and went to the sea. Regarding towels: they are issued from 8.30 in the main building, on the -1 ground floor, at the bathhouse reception. In my opinion, it is more convenient when it is done closer to the beach or somewhere in the middle between the beach and the pools.
Rooms.
We lived in the main 5-storey building. There has never been such a small room before. Beds, mattresses, linens - no complaints.

The closet is very uncomfortable, there are no shelves at all, only hangers hang out. Therefore, some of the things remained in the suitcase.
The refrigerator, although not ancient in appearance, barely "breathed", the drinks were slightly chilled. Filled it every other day, 1 liter of Pepsi, 1.5 liters of water without gas and 2 bottles of 0.25 mineral water. There was no air conditioning as such. The remote control on the wall is a complete fiction, it only turned on the fan at the outlet of the vent pipe. The air supply was turned on centrally, according to some kind of free schedule. At the same time, the movement of air could be felt only by leaning a hand against the ventilation grille. All appeals to the reception did not lead to a result. The air conditioning system is centralized and very old (1988, like the hotel itself) and, apparently, has exhausted its resource. The torment was something else, it was very humid outside (July after all) and the same stuffiness in the room. The same story was in the room with friends and, as we learned later, with people in a 2-storey building.
In general, who cares about the presence of air conditioning, consider this fact.
Bathroom.
Just as tiny as the number. Everything is very old, so vintage. But it works, no complaints.
I do not recommend paying more for a room with a sea view. Basically, it's stupid. In this hotel, the building stands facing the sea and the sea can be seen from both sides. True, on the one hand, the view is sometimes blocked by trees. The side, which is positioned as with a view of the sea, faces south!! ! and the central swimming pool with a restaurant. All day the sun through the window, noise-din, smells of barbecue. I recommend the "Land view" side.
Nutrition.

Standard for Turkey and a hotel of this level. Surprised that an elementary scrambled eggs and fried eggs for breakfast were given very rarely. Basically fried pancakes. Lunch dinner without complaints, typical Turkish soups (grated), garnish - pasta, french fries, baked potatoes. Fish, veal, chicken, turkey. I really liked the fried zucchini, and the cook himself, who conjured in the free zone, is a damn charming bald uncle. Always smiling and saying something. Outwardly, clearly not a Turk.
I met him a couple of times in the village outside the territory, so he recognized, greeted : )
In general, it is difficult to stay hungry. Yes, sweets in this hotel did not please. Extremely meager choice, really tasty things were few and not always.
Bars, drinks.
The same Turkish classic, there is nothing imported, only local, they pour a little. It was decided 1-2$, the attitude changed radically. The lobby bar was the best. In general, cutting is not a problem.
Powdered juices, only tomato juice in packages, delicious - real juice, not pasta with water. At the beach bar from 10 to 17 you could drink ayran. Good thing.
Pools.
Central with a bar, with changing depth (from 1.4m to 2.04m), which is convenient if you are with children. In the same place during the day, aqua aerobics and water volleyball were held to the music.
For children, with slides, a grotto waterfall (it was good to hide from the sun there), a geyser, etc. Next to the bar, toilets.
Beach.
Pebbles, clean, toilets, insipid showers; there weren't enough sun loungers. People tried to come early and take a seat. We did the same. Some, however, borrowed, and hung out in fact by the pools. And the sun loungers were empty until the evening. Slavic mentality, however. The pier is very modest, lopsided, like somewhere in a village on the river. However, it didn't stop him from jumping.
The sea is incomparable, the purest turquoise water.
Animation was not interested, I will not say anything about this.
The hotel for a family holiday does not correspond to the declared status. Clearly in need of repair. That, however, did not prevent a great rest.
P. s. Wi-fi is available, even on the beach. There was no signal in the room. Problems could be in the evening, when people massively took out their gadgets.
