In Turkey 5 times, there is something to compare with. Will I go to Joy Kirish Resort next time? No (I like to change the situation and the hotel for 3 s + or 4 s -, although I went to Queens Park twice).
I definitely do not recommend this hotel to people who have vacationed in the Amara, Rixos, etc. chains.
People who are traveling for the first time or have been to 3 *, 4 * do not look for dust under the bed and the priority is the sea, the sun and a good mood, you can safely go.
In general, there are no moments that cause horror or delight.
The hotel is more suitable for young people, families with children, but not for newlyweds and the elderly, the Germans would not be sweet there.
Hotel pros:
- large, green territory, very luxurious palm trees;

- a large selection of food, for breakfast there is milk porridge and soup, two types of potatoes, rice, meat, vegetables, salads, eggs (boiled, fried, three types of amlet), fruits, sweets, pastries, muesli, etc. I have not seen such an assortment for breakfast in more than one hotel in Turkey, Egypt, Poland, Bulgaria. But, as everywhere, everything gets boring on the 4th day;
- friendly staff, if they are on good terms, they always solve all issues with a smile. I saw how at the bar the Turks pretended that they did not understand what they were being asked for, but drunken Slavs can be unbearable, rude, and suffer from a "narcissus" complex.
50/50:
- animation. The team is large, 24 people, the guys are young, they are friends with each other, they don’t really want to deal with guests. A set of standard gymnastics, polo, volleyball, etc. From 20.00 to 21.30 there is nothing to do. It’s quiet near the bar, they don’t even turn on the music;
- cleaning of the territory. Paths are washed everywhere underfoot, cleaned, but the mattresses on the sunbeds say that dirty is nothing to say. The tables near the sunbeds have not been wiped for a month, a new stain is added every day: Baileys, grapes, mint liqueur. I saw how people themselves washed the tables in the pool where the children were swimming.
Cons of the hotel:
- housing stock. The bungalows look like a recreation center in Odessa (wooden doors with glass in the middle, hung with a sheet (a la a hospital)). In the case, the standards are better, but not by much. There is a problem with sewage in toilets throughout the territory, it is better to settle on the 3rd floor and above. In general, the housing stock and reception make you feel like you are in the 80s.
The impression the hotel makes of a good Crimean holiday home. If you do not bother rest will be normal.
