Settlement
We got to the hotel at 10:20, we were issued, put on bracelets, and offered a late breakfast, since it is until 11:00. We left our things at the reception. The brunch was quite good, there was enough fresh fruits and vegetables, many types of cheese.
After breakfast, you can go to the pool bar, wait until you check in there, alcohol is free. We were traveling with friends, the first room was given to them, it was around 12:00, we brought all the things to them, changed clothes and went to dinner. We were given a room at 13:30. I think that you can safely wait a few hours at the bar, the more you could eat.
The room turned out to be quite good, a double bed, next to it there was another one and a half bed (for which it is not known), bedside tables, a cabinet for a suitcase, a large mirror. There is also a type of air conditioning hood, but in our room there are some problems with it.
Breakfast
For breakfast, fresh vegetables, fruits, many types of pastries, sweets, tea (herbal tea bags), coffee (from the machine), cheeses, sausages, yogurts. Pancakes and scrambled eggs are fried outside.
Dinner
I was satisfied, there were two types of meat, potatoes, pasta, a lot of vegetables, fruits, and much more that we did not have time to try)
Dinner
For dinner, they cook the most, the range of dishes is large, meat, chicken, fish, grilled meat, many types of side dishes and salads, 5-6 types of cheeses, again sweets (by the way, all are very tasty).
I recommend going to the grill right away, there is basically the most delicious fried.
In general, I really liked the food, everything is very tasty, every day there is meat, chicken, turkey, two types of fish, a lot of fresh vegetables for every taste, a lot of sweets, fruits.
Bar
They have free vodka, beer, crayfish * their vodka * (if mixed with a sprite, it will be like sambuca), white and red wine (dry this and that, for an amateur), liquor. If you mix cocktails, then it is quite possible to be content with them).
By the way, I never had a hangover, although I drank enough).
About 5 stars
Well, as a person who is the first time in Turkey, I was more than satisfied with everything. Friendly staff, the room is cleaned every day (naturally, if you leave a sign for it to be removed, but we didn’t hang anything on the door one day, they cleaned it anyway), there are many places where you can relax (three bars, sofas near the reception, sofas in the basement and chairs, soft chairs near the pool). There are nuances, but you can close your eyes to them (slightly shabby towels, showers in the rooms are slightly shabby, sunbeds on the beach are also not new).
Internet
If you have a good mobile tariff in roaming, then you don’t have to worry. Since there are problems with wi-fi. There is free Wi-Fi near the reception, but it's a problem to connect, because if about 10 people are sitting in the lobby, then it doesn't work.
You can connect paid to the room. 1 day 3€.
And now a life hack: in the basement, where the spa is, there is free Wi-Fi, "viking 1", you just need to work hard to find it.
But I will tell you that it is quite pleasant to relax without the Internet)))
cats
Cats are everywhere. In the dining room, at the reception, on the ground floor. The staff does not drive away, they feel great.
Beaches
From the hotel there are two beaches: pebble and sand. Buses from the hotel carry people with regularity per hour.
Pebbles, this is a lot of stones, until you reach the water and go into the sea, this is a whole test, as your feet are loaded with pebbles, and it is very painful to walk, for this you need to buy special shoes in advance. There are also stones everywhere in the water, and even slippery, you need to be careful not to twist your leg. The water is clear, the sea is warm (we were in October). There is a problem with sunbeds, you can not have time, and everything will be busy.
Another nuance, the sunbeds are not marked in any way, where from your hotel, and where from another, the local at the bar will tell you, I think this is a minus, it would be better if they put at least signs from where and while the sunbeds from each hotel, because if you lie down to rest not on your sunbed, out of ignorance, then you may simply be asked to release it or to pay, and no one is interested that there are no more free places.
Sand
I liked it a lot more there, just because it's sand) It's more pleasant for your feet to walk, the water is warm, there is a park next to the beach where you can walk, and you can walk around, the views are mesmerizing.
The bar on the beaches is paid.
Hammam
I will write about the hammam in the hotel itself. This procedure includes washing the whole body, peeling, and washing with foam. After that, you are taken for a massage. We really liked the massage, with the use of aroma oils. After the massage, face mask. All this lasts 1.5 hours. We were personally satisfied, did not regret a single drop of money.
In the city itself, this procedure can be offered at half the price, but be aware that there will only be a body wash and that's it.
Restaurant
Once during your stay at the hotel, you can choose a day earlier to sign up for a free lunch or dinner at the restaurant. Food is free, alcohol is paid. The choice is small, but there is a red fish on the menu, which is not served on the buffet.
Market
I don’t know how anyone, but I’m pleased to go to the store for souvenirs, where the price tags were originally written, and they don’t look at you, and come up with a price on the go. Unfortunately, there are very few shops with price tags.
Mosque
Every day, starting at 4 am, a prayer is heard from the mosque. Rather, it is sung into a microphone, it is heard quite well, with a frequency of 4 hours. It does not interfere, since the prayer itself lasts about 5 minutes, but in the morning you can wake up if the number goes in that direction.
Excursion
We chose an excursion, as the guide told us, to the old church built by St. Nicholas.
Our expectations were to see an architectural monument, but in fact, it comes as a pilgrimage. Believers come to pray, apply icons (bought in advance in a special shop, at very interesting prices, which start from $100 and up to about $2000). Nobody forces you to buy, but the guide strongly recommends. Those who do not buy anything, he calls "rogue".
After that, you will be taken to the dining room, where the complex will be served: soup and the second. There is a salad, two sauces, fruit and cheese on the tables in advance. All this in small quantities, and a lot of flies land. It spoiled my appetite a bit. Then two hours on a boat, and a wine cellar. Get ready that everywhere persistently recommends something to buy.
Baksheesh
That is, tips. In every bus, minibus, at every bar there are boxes for tips. This is kind of accepted by them, well, at least we were told so everywhere.
The hotel, as it seemed to us, is designed for guests of the Norwegians, the elderly, for them the main focus is on dancing (tango, etc. ). There is a pub on the first floor where they are taught, and in the evenings they dance at the pool bar. Basically, 85 percent are elderly people, the rest are young people 25+.
I hope you enjoyed reading, have a good rest)
