We returned home at night, so I'll write while it's fresh.
Traveled for three generations. My husband and I + two children aged 6 and 9 + our two mothers.
We arrived at the hotel around 8:30 am and checked in at 2:00 pm. Rooms in the main building, 5th floor, No. 2514 and 2517 with a partial view of the sea and beautiful mountains!

To be honest, on the first day I practically sobbed, refused to perceive what was happening and googled another hotel. I really wanted to write to my travel agent about my emotions, but I decided to sleep with my thoughts and not get excited. The chicest sea and Jack Daniels, taken with him from duty free, calmed me down.
If taken as of the end of the vacation, then in the bottom line:

- Rooms. Yes, tired, but I knew about it and, to be honest, it didn’t bother me at all. In fact, we only slept in them. Conder and everything else worked fine, the view is beautiful. The only thing that both rooms had a closed safe. They asked to open it in order to start using it - they fixed it in the parents' room, they never reached my husband and I. The hotel also needs updating, but now is clearly not the best time for this. So here I have no complaints. There are no bathrobes, there are slippers. Wet cleaning too +.
- Food. On the first day, I was generally in a trance from food and what was happening. I was glad only that I would lose a couple of kg)) To say that there is nothing to eat would be a lie, but for me and my family everything was either inedible or simply not tasty. The food is monotonous - the same thing every day, and often the same thing for lunch and dinner.
Morning: scrambled eggs/scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, french fries, potato balls, cheese/sausage, yogurt, sausages, fruit, chocolate/honey pancake, potatoes, croissants, etc. buns. Children ate all 8 days in the morning only pancake, adults - scrambled eggs + sausages. I’ll note that the buns, I’ll call them that, are very tasty with chocolate! ) For lunch and dinner: grilled fish (mackerel / perch / dorado), stewed fish, beef, stewed eggplant / zucchini, soups (a couple of types, with lentils, for example, and chicken with noodles), stewed beef, various pasta, potatoes, turkey rolls, pickles, fresh vegetables and fruits, rice, grilled chicken or skewers, beef cutlets. It seems that I have listed so many things, but in fact everyone ate spaghetti with bolognese sauce and sometimes stewed fish. The children also ate spaghetti and coals (as their son called them, because these are not cutlets, but coals). Well, damn it, guys, how can you ruin a potato? It lies, beautiful, in slices, sprinkled with poppy seeds, but in fact - wooden, it is impossible to eat. Or puree feels like a diluted freeze-dried powder. A fish! My favorite dorado - but it's just dry grilled. After all, for taste, even sprinkle with lemon when frying, I already watered it with tartar and other sauces - it won’t save it. That's the truth, it's embarrassing. Let not a wide range of food, but the original products seem to be normal, why is it so tasteless (((Food, by the way, is almost all cold.
Also a lot of sweets. I liked the dessert with whipped cream in a glass, but it is quickly sorted out. The rest didn't come. Watermelons are very sweet and juicy, medlar is good. Oh, and the pizza is delicious!

The restaurant was struck by the number of chipped dishes, dirty tables, chairs with crumbs, periodically dirty forks, no one comes to you, no juice / tea / wine is offered.
Bad coffee - tastes like strong chicory. Maybe someone likes this, but I'm for Arabica.
Alcohol - beer, wine, tequila norms, more or less Baileys. The rest is not very good. The cocktails are not tasty at all. No juices - everything is like yuppies)) Once my daughter took karlama, then for half a day her tongue was bright scarlet.
Public toilets are quite dirty. The motion sensors on the lamps stand for 5-10 seconds, so when pissing, you have to wave your hands so that it does not go out. It was especially stressful for the children.
The animation is so unobtrusive that on the third day I saw for the first time that it was there)) Once I went to the steppe, there is boccia, volleyball, in the morning at the aqua aerobics type pool.
Dofigischa people, a contingent of pension-mums. Mostly all Ukrainians. The feeling was that I was somewhere in Genichesk))) I don’t know how much sunbeds should be borrowed. The first two days were spent under the scorching sun, as there were no places under the canopies. On the third day, my mother went to borrow somewhere at 7.20, then she took almost the last ones in the 4th line. Then I went to 7 in the morning, then I also couldn’t take it closer than the 3rd line. It seems that people have been blocking them since the night. Near the pools in general a difficult case))
Once we got to a party in the evening - some group was singing. She sang very well!! ! It is a pity that again there were no places to sit down. We turned around, listened to a few songs and went home.
The sea is cool, so alive, real! I thought that I would be cold, because. I'm cold, but no, the temperature is very comfortable for swimming (although I don't know how many degrees it was). I also liked the pebble. When the storm didn't churn the water. View is gorgeous! The sea and mountains are amazing!

In terms of holidays with children. For me, it was a special strain with food, I didn’t know what to feed them, except for pasta and pizza. The children did not want to swim in the sea - it was immediately quite deep. A couple of times my son was splashed by waves on stones, he no longer climbed into the sea. The pool - the depth is one 140 cm everywhere, the children's pool is 30 cm. It turns out that for my 6-9 years old children, the children's pool is not, there are crumbs, and an adult does not reach the bottom. Therefore, they swam only with us, with their parents. Not enough in the pool of different depths. Slides, although there are only two of them, but the children went.
Service is slow and not very friendly. I did not manage to meet a smile on the faces of the staff. I can praise the waiter who serves the tents on the beach. But, here, who should unwind the canopy on them, it remains a mystery to me.
In conclusion, I don’t even know what final feedback to make. I was in Turkey for the first time, before that I always went to Egypt for many years to the same hotel, where I was always mega satisfied with my vacation. Now. . . I don't know, some kind of sad feeling. Nature and the sea are divine, the hotel is old, but that's okay. But the fat minus is the food and some kind of lethargy in service, it feels like everything is done carelessly, the feeling that you, as a guest, are not welcome here, leave an unpleasant mark. So I won't be coming here again.
P. S. Suddenly, someone likes this, then outside the hotel they took crayfish (at $ 10 / kg) excellent, fresh, large. The shrimp are delicious in sauce. Crabs are not worth looking at.
