1. The most important thing is a European hotel. VIKING hotel chain throughout the Turkish coast. Therefore, carefully look where the travel agency sends you. The number of stars and the full name of the hotel. There is almost no one from Russia. There are Russian-speaking Kazakhs and Balts. And so mostly Germans, Norwegians, Swedes, Finns and so on. The language of the hotel is English. Some of the servants speak Russian (this is if you do not speak English at all)
2. Traveled with two children aged 5 and 6. The room was excellent (1 huge bed and 1 single), the room has 1 window + 1 loggia (you can see the whole territory and the sea, there is a clothes hanger). The room has everything (TV, refrigerator, safe, wardrobe, bedside tables, dressing table mirror, bedspreads, blankets). The furniture is new, the windows and balconies are plastic, the floor is laminate. The bathroom has a bathtub. Cleaning every day, linen changed every day. Extra beach towels! The entrance door is opened with a plastic card, it also includes food for the room. There is a chain on the door.
3. The main lobby is huge, there are many sofas, armchairs, tables, a mini-library in many languages, there is Wi-Fi (the first zone is small). Check-in at 14-00. Although we arrived at 6 in the morning, we were immediately registered, put on bracelets (which means you can use all the benefits of the hotel - swimming pool, beach, sun loungers, restaurant, bar), gave a changing room, breakfast at 7-30, settled in the room a little later - around 12:00. There is an elevator, a professional photographer, a photo studio, an expensive gold jewelry store.

4. The territory is average, a lot of greenery, palm trees, bushes, lawns, a turtle and a cat live there. The photos turn out great.
5. The restaurant is huge. Open almost always from 7-30 to 22-00. If it is closed, then steak (15-00) and afternoon tea (17-00) on the street (double restaurant). In short fresh food every 2 hours. The menu is stunned - there is always a choice of meat (fish, chicken, beef, mushrooms, sausages and cutlets are different). There is a grill on the street, they make fish, chicken, tortillas and so on. There is always a large selection of cakes, watermelons, melons, red and green apples, pears… That is, food at the level of 5 stars.
6. Bar from 10-00 to 22-00. Draft beer - class! Bottled white and red wine, cocktails, ice lemonade and more. Everything is free and as much as you want (and never ends! ). Additionally, for the money you can order imported wine or any alcohol after 22-00. The bar is located on the street, but there is a foyer at the bar in the room, there are also sofas and tables. There is a second Wi-Fi (the zone is huge, even in the rooms it takes direct visibility from the bar or pool).
7. The pool is clean, the depth is 140 cm. There is a children's section, the depth is 40 cm. The sunbeds are new, umbrellas, deck chairs. Noisy companies NOT WELCOME! There are rules of conduct in Russian. Be sure to read - enjoy!
8. The beach is sandy and pebbly, through landscaping and a wooden bridge from the hotel (about 50 meters, you can go to the bar in swimming trunks, back and forth to the pool or to the beach), there are wooden decks on the beach, a bridge for entering the sea. Half of the beach is covered with a huge sun lounger, on the second half there are folding umbrellas, sunbeds with mattresses everywhere, there is a shower toilet, there is a paid bar.

9. There is no animation (the Germans do not need it), there is live music - scheduled on Sunday at 20-30, and it happens additionally during the week. The bar constantly plays English or Turkish music. The neighboring hotel "Fame Residence Park" distributes its loud music to a dozen nearby hotels (but they have it 4 times a week).
10. Almost everything is near the hotel - City Park, Lunar Park, Sea Port, Arbat, Nightclubs, playgrounds, outdoor fitness equipment. There is live music on the waterfront every day. On Tuesday (from 8-00 to 20-00) a clothing market comes very close to the site where the parking of vehicles and buses.
11. City Tower. It takes 15-20 minutes to get there. This is the administrative center, well, the center of the resort. The collective farm market comes there on Monday, also for the whole day. In the Tower area, prices for everything are cheaper than on the Arbat. That is, you need to go down the street from the Tower towards the MOSQUE. There, almost all trade is in Turkish Lira. It’s cheaper to buy with Lyra, and they always give you change.
