If you evaluate the hotel as 3 *, then it is quite consistent even with 3 * +. But, to me, like to many others, the tour was sold as 4 * (does not reach the hotel to the four). It's not all that bad, though.
1. We were brought to the hotel late - no one fed us, the guys at the reception did not make the best impression - it is written on their foreheads that the guests of this hotel look like a wallet in their eyes. Moreover, the couple who came with me that day were told one price for the safe in the evening, and another (higher) in the morning. The hotel guide from TUI sucks, there is zero work from him, he cannot / does not want to resolve elementary situations.
2. Room under the roof with a view of the hotel opposite, and side view of the mountains and the sea, respectively. I hit my head on the ceiling a couple of times, even though I am not tall, but then I began to bend down in time to go out to the balcony. The room is clean, very clean towels and bedding, no fungus. Individual air conditioning, modern TV and everything works. There was never a shortage of hot water, but the shower is designed for very tiny people.

The quality of cleaning suited me, but after cleaning three times in 6 days (! ) They forgot to close my room and at the time when I was on an excursion, anyone could enter it. The first two times I spoke about this at the reception (the second time already in English, because they did not understand Russian), and the third time - to the manager, who apologized, but this was already on the last day of my stay. Luckily, I didn't miss anything.
3. The choice of dishes, as for 3 * is normal, for 4 * it is small, but on the other hand, great respect to the chef and his team, they cook deliciously (except for first courses). You can always eat (until 10 pm for sure, if not in the dining room, then in a bar near the beach). Alcohol, unlike other hotels, is not diluted, and in general I liked the bar and the kitchen the most (Ali, Muratik, Ahmet, etc. - well done! ). And it's not about food and drinks, but about good human relations.
4. There is a small but well-kept green area. There are enough sunbeds on the beach under awnings for everyone. It is better to enter the sea from the pontoon of neighboring hotels. big stones. The pool is clean, but the slide is open 1-1.5 hours a day. Not always, but there is a good animation.
5. There is no entertainment as such. The hotel will be good for older people and parents with children. For myself, I chose trips on excursions, fishing and visiting hammams. The hotel also has a hammam, but because of the incident on the first day of my vacation, I would not go there for anything (but, it should be noted that I didn’t see the person responsible for this until the end of the vacation). Visually, both the sauna and the steam room at the hotel are good, but alas, it did not work out.
6. In general, I have very good memories of the people with whom I spoke there, but I will not go to this hotel again, although I understand that there are much worse options.
