Definitely not a four.
When we were choosing a hotel, the tour operator sold us a "hydros" as a "five". In the reviews after we read that this is a four-star hotel. The tour operator was more convincing, and we went. For two weeks. Check on your own skin what kind of hotel it is.
Checked.
I always read the reviews of others, so I myself try to paint everything in detail.
We went with a group: two couples. Without children.
I write, as usual, in detail. With all the pros and cons.
Tour operator and flight.
Tui. No problems and no meals on board. You can bring food on board. Eggs, fruits, sandwiches - take it. We were also allowed to carry bottled water and a bottle of coffee without any problems.
SETTLEMENT

We arrived at the hotel at 6 pm. They asked the agent for a Sea View, and she swore it to us. At the reception, we were given the keys to the room in the farthest bungalow! Over the road! With a non-working toilet barrel, the stink of bleach and a creepy look. We did not want to go to this barn every day to sleep and went to change. The Russian-speaking girl from the reception actively swore that there was no other room at all! My 20 lire, hidden in the passport, did not convince her. And I went to the guide. She smiled at him. He whispered something at the reception, and already at 9 am the next day we changed the room. On an excellent 307. Close, beautiful, everything works. Only there were no bathrobes. With me, people asked for a room who was far away, who was closer, but they were all settled at random. They are clearly not used to bothering with settling in order to please a tourist.
Therefore, for this item, "Hydros" gets a fat minus.
ROOM
In a smelly, with a barrel noisy without stopping and falling off the wall of the soap vessel, as you already understood, there were dressing gowns.
In the good 307th I knocked out, it was not. I had to ask them at the reception. Times 5.
In one day.
So we didn't get them.
No damage was found in the room.
Pros: balcony, ashtray, slippers, standard set of towels, daily cleaning, safe, pool and sea views, respectively; refrigerator, washcloths. Two keys.
Cons (which was not): a kettle, sockets near the second bed, the beds, by the way, are separate; iron.
There is NO iron in the hotel. There is a paid laundry service.
NUTRITION
Well, sooo so… Food is the weakest point of the hotel.
In order not to be unfounded, in numbers
Strawberries - 1 time in two weeks.
Grilled fish - 2 times in two weeks.
Watermelon - for dinner 6 times, in the morning of the next day, a sluggish watermelon is cut into fruit bowls.
There were no cancers.
Bulguma fish, or whatever it is, every day, but it's disgustingly tasteless.
The meat is dry.
Other days: ONLY apples, oranges, tasteless monotonous food.
Pros: there was soy milk, orange juices at ol inc for breakfast, true, self-service, but these are trifles. many types of eggs for breakfast.
Cons: rarely tasty, the choice is very small! Coffee machines with natural - one at the bar, one on the street. Two - with soluble. People pounced on the sudden appearance of trout or strawberries like animals. If you arrive 10 minutes later than the restaurant opens, you have to wait for someone to eat to sit down. And we, for example, liked to sit until closing.
Queues! Queues!! ! And no variety
BAR

Wines of own production, diluted beer, yupi, raki. There is also whiskey and tequila for a fee. Cocktails badyazhat from toppings and vodka. It's not tasty. Take with you what you want to drink if you plan to drink. This "chic arsenal" of alcohol is free of charge until midnight near the amphitheater, and until 3 a. m. in a closed disco. By the way, there are no coffee machines at the disco.
TERRITORY
Big. Green. Beautiful. Net. This is a plus.
The hotel is intended for a large number of people, but at the same time, it is not intended for their relaxation, sorry for the tautology. And this is a minus. Toilets, bars serving food, the amount of ice cream, fruit, food for everyone was sorely lacking!
THEFT!
This is the first time I've come across this in hotels! And God forbid, I rode (in those where I go for a day or two, as often happens, I did not write reports)!
First, towels were stolen from us from Panton (we went out to eat in the morning).
Then, at lunchtime, an inflatable pillow and slippers for walking on corals were pulled from the sunbeds. Naturally, the guards on the beach denied that they saw something. Although things were right next to them.
Minus the hotel for such insecurity !!!!
CONTINGENT
The hotel is positioned as a youth. But there were also families with children.
Mostly guests from Russia. Moreover, those who actively swear with the Germans, yelling with a good obscenity, not embarrassed by either strangers or children. I saw with my own eyes who gets on the Internet with the tag #russotourist, and I'm shocked. People, be people, please. At least when you're not alone with yourself.
Few Germans, Ukrainians, Poles. Turks are only animators. There are almost no vacationers. I did not identify guests from other countries.
ANIMATION
Very even nothing)) Animators: Russian, Turkish, English-speaking. Fun, varied. This is a plus.
Minus: the main activity in the pool in the sun.
GYM
He is. And this is a plus, without which we would not have gone to rest in this hotel.
Bench, bench with a rack, smitt (very bad), block, two cross-country and two bicycles; orbitrek. Dumbbells, pancakes.
Minus: conder does not work.
SLIDES:
There are two of them. They are childish. The back is scratched.
EXCURSIONS
We did not go on organized check-in tours, but took a car.
40 USD/day Linea on diesel. You can take the car after leaving the hotel. See, choose, bargain.

We traveled 230 km.
Goynuk Canyon (entrance fee $2): this is a stunningly beautiful place! It was possible to ride a bungee and go down the icy water, but we all got sick, so we did not take risks.
Waterfalls in Antalya. Paid - the entrance is 7 lire, it's worth seeing, and then look and it's free. There are no crowds of tourists here, and it pleases! What’s more, it’s stunningly beautiful.
Old city of Olympus. Ruins, sea, turtles, nature. Beautiful! We were already at sunset, went for free))
Mount Chimera. We just got to her. Checkout below. We are told: from you for 2 dollars per person. We have a hundred. We give. We have change in lira. We are against (we don't need lyre). He says: "There are no dollars. " We still conjured, begged, and went downstairs - to exchange money in the exchanger. On the way we met compatriots who showed pictures from the Chimera, said that there was nothing to do there, and we decided not to go up.
We went to the hammam on the first day for a chapel, not in a hotel. Sami. $15 per person.
DEPARTURE:
We left the hotel at 14.10. The room was handed over at 12.30. Although we were supposed to be at 12. On the way, we were taken to a food-souvenir-clothes store. Where we didn't buy anything because we knew the prices were too high. Just tasting Turkish delight)))
BAZAR
A bazaar is open 100 meters from the hotel on Mondays. There you need to buy everything that you would like to bring from Tutsia ! ! Prices are the cheapest. The quality is excellent! The same lokum, for example, is sold at a store on the way to the airport for $25 per kg, and at the market - the same (not in boxes, but really the same) - for $5! This is the case with other goods as well.
By the way, if you buy something in stores for more than 120 lira, ask for TAX FREE, and at the airport, upon departure, show TAX ​ ​ FREE, a check, the purchased goods in the appropriate window, and get a good percentage of the money spent.
TOTAL

The holiday was a success, we liked it, but lastly because of the hotel. The hotel added as many pleasant points to the treasury of impressions as it quickly took away. The picky traveler will love it. Those who travel for 5-6 days will also like it. For me, this is a "FOUR WITH A MINUS".
Have a good holiday everyone! Hope it was helpful!
