I'll start with the backstory. Before the main vacation, my husband and I decided to occupy ourselves in May - cheap and cheerful - Crimea. They estimated the budget - in hard economy mode 5000 UAH. comes out. I called my travel agent to find out what prices are for Turkey. And for this money (oh, miracle! ) We were offered this hotel. Having attached an employee with her husband and sister with her mother-in-law, we went to this hotel with the installation "if it is better than in the Crimea, then it will already be cool. "
But we did not expect that it would be so COOL! )) Everyone unanimously decided to return to this hotel. But, as usual, first things first.
Food. The food was excellent and endless. After breakfast there was a late breakfast, after it immediately lunch, then appetizers, then dinner, then late dinner. That is, we were fed almost around the clock)) The choice is not huge, there were no blue cheeses)), but both meat-eaters and vegetarians overate. From fruits, only two types of apples, oranges and grapefruits. Sweets were for every taste - soufflé , baklava, biscuits, cakes. There was no refusal in water either - in the buildings there were coolers with disposable cups around the clock, in the lobby bar they gave a bottle of water at night. In the same bar, you will be prepared with real Turkish brewed coffee. For free)

Hotel. Small, cozy, close to everything. The territory is green, it smells of blooming flowers)) There is a mini water park, tennis court, table tennis, gym, sauna, disco, kayaks, catamarans. All of the above is free, only paid drinks at the disco. It's nice that there are no bracelets - they give out cards when you go out of the territory, they ask you to show them. Accordingly, there are no problems with removing the bracelet at 12 o'clock. In general, I won’t say anything bad about the territory - well, maybe it’s small, for some it’s a minus))
Rooms. We were lucky - they didn’t confirm the reservation until they ruined everything. As an apology, they settled us in the most luxurious room - a large one, right next to the pool. Others with rooms were less fortunate - some were settled under a roof, others far from the sea, almost near the reception. But in all rooms, without exception, they cleaned daily, changed bedding and towels on request - you throw them on the floor, they change them, but no less than once every two days. From the amazing nearby - there is no soap, shampoo, gel in the rooms. There is only liquid soap, it is shampoo, it is everything else)) So take it with you.
Animation. Oh, here I will crumble in delight for a long time)) Interesting non-standard programs, funny non-vulgar contests - this is in the evening. In the afternoon, morning exercises, step aerobics, aqua fitness, darts, boccia, water polo, beach volleyball. Children are also involved in business - they bake cookies, draw, glue, a mini-disco - a lot of impressions for kids, and parents have time to roll))) special status)) We participated everywhere, we had a blast, for which we were given a certificate “Best hotel guests” before leaving)) And one animator (Erdo, hello! ) on the last evening gave us a picnic on a wild beach. After the rental closed, I took a catamaran and two kayaks, at lunch we stole food and sailed to a fabulous bay, which can only be reached by sea, and had a picnic. And when we offered money for such an excursion, he was offended - friends, they say, rested together.
In general, my conclusion is the same - try to treat people like human beings - you will be surprised by the results))

Sea. The entrance is pebbles + stones, a little uncomfortable, but the sea is worth it. Even flocks of fish managed to see the big ones. Beach towels - get in the window in exchange for cards, and then change them 2 times a week. For us, this was not a problem, in the Crimea you would not have been given anything at all)) There are a lot of sunbeds, comfortable, when the hotel is fully loaded, there is enough for everyone near the pools and near the sea.
The rest was a success by 300%, no less)) I can’t tell you everything, so as not to tire you)) Therefore, I’ll answer in a personal message or in the comments about what I missed.
Have a nice holiday everyone! And, remember - be happy and the rest will be unforgettable)
