Hotel ratings by criteria:
Strong 3* stars. Room on the 4th floor with bathroom, 2 beds, TV with 2 rus. canals, a large loggia, a view of the sea and mountains, neighboring hotels, a garden and a mosque - very picturesque. Cleaned every day, linen changed after 3 days. Surprisingly, on the first day, just in case, they left 3 dollars for a tip, no one took them until the departure, then, of course, we added a little bit. The staff behaves decently, without familiarity, except for the stupid animator, but he is supposed to be a clown and pester everyone with his jokes.
Animation, disco, water polo, volleyball, ping=pong and billiards were not of interest to me and my husband. The garden is good: figs, oranges, pomegranates. The hotel itself is small and could be better maintained. The pool, 1.5 m deep (there is a mark there), 25 m long, suited us just fine. Pleasantly surprised by the water slide, which we did not count on, since it is not in the catalog
Meals - standard for three-star Turkish hotels, plentiful, great choice. Of course, lobsters and pheasants are not served. Soy meat and sausage. But there was a chicken, and a fish, and a barbecue. Snacks are awesome, donuts, pancakes are baked in front of you, potatoes are fried - and all this is by the pool, in the fresh air. We didn't try the wine, because. we know that in Turkey it is better to drink pomegranate wine, but it is expensive and no one will give it for free. I saw there "holidays" from morning to evening with a glass in hand. They don't seem to have ever been to the beach. The beer is bitter, I had to buy it in a shop.

The beach is really across the road, 80 meters, in front of the hotel. And there is a cemetery nearby, quiet, shady. Just a park, where there are many beautiful flowers and trees, and occasionally there are picturesque tombstones. My husband and I used to go there for a walk. By the way, Red Square in Moscow is also a pantheon, and nothing. . .
On the way to the beach, there is indeed a Turkish campsite on the left hand side. But, gentlemen, they also want to relax and swim in the sea in their country, but they do not bother tourists in any way. Rather, it was we who took away the beach from them, the entire coastline. Has anyone seen carelessly frolicking Turks?
By the way, the beach is still a hotel, and not a paid city one, although it is dirty. Who's littering? I saw in the mornings (and I usually swim before breakfast) how one person came and laid out towels on sunbeds with mattresses and umbrellas. He took 6-8 places. After breakfast - a full house, nowhere to lie down. We bathed in rubber slippers, as you know, the bottom is rocky. It's a pity there is no platform - this is a minus. In general, this is not the French, but the Turkish Riviera. There were many Germans. Everyone is happy. For such money I will go again. Only excursions are expensive, but worth it - and Ephesus, and Pamukkale, and Demre-Mira-Kekova. You must be able to relax.
