Оптимальное соотношение цены и качества The optimum ratio of price and quality

In Turkey, not for the first time, the hotel justifies its stars, four. There are pluses and minuses.
The hotel is not far from the city, behind the mountain. If you drive from Milas airport, then the hotel is beyond Kusadasi, from Izmir, respectively. On a dolmushka to the city 5 minutes, only you need to go down from the mountain.
It costs 1.5 lira = 1 dollar.
The location of the hotel is very picturesque, very beautiful: around the mountain, especially the sunset is impressive. All rooms with sea view, 5 levels. There is an elevator, but we did not use it, we walked on foot, it did not bother us.
The pool is deep but heavily chlorinated. The Russian people do not like this, so all the compatriots were by the sea.
Sun loungers, towels - free of charge, mattresses for 3 lira - no one wanted to use it.

The population of the hotel: Belgians, Dutch, French, Germans and Russians (Moscow-St. Petersburg). Few compatriots. We arrived at 20, leaving 4 people. By age, mostly young people rested, mostly Belgian, 20-30 years old.
From entertainment animation and disco, but both are at a very low level. Accordingly, 5-10 people go to the animation and disco. But the disco room is good, not organized simply. Everyone leaves for the city, or to the neighboring Havana Club (you have to go down the mountain and go in the opposite direction from Kusadasi) or sit by numbers, in companies.
The hotel is very conveniently located in relation to the proposed excursions. Pamukkale is close - about 4 hours, and Ephesus is 15 minutes by bus. Agree, from other cities it is much further.
The beach is a platform, and on the right there is a sunset, there are pebbles. Many go there, who are accustomed to slowly get used to the water. A warm breeze is constantly blowing, so almost no one uses umbrellas.
But it gets chilly in the evenings, so be sure to take something warm. We fished for bread crumbs from the pier. Tackle in the city for 2 lira bought. The fish were released back into the sea.
There are always enough sun loungers by the pool and by the sea for everyone. There is a free catamaran on the beach.
There is a hammam in the hotel.
The rooms are not large, the furniture is somewhat oblique, but they clean well. And for tips, in general, every day the bed linen was changed and covered with flowers. Well, we did not come to sit in the room, so neither the size of the room nor the age of the furniture bothered us.
Food in a restaurant for three. The cook there is incompetent. Those who are meat eaters will be disappointed. There is also meat and fish, but not tasty cooked. I always found something to comfort myself, because. I love vegetables.
The husband was dissatisfied. But the bar has very decent pizza and ice cream. The hamburgers are not tasty, ours are much better. From drinks they offer beer, crayfish, vodka, cognac, gin - until 23-00.
In general, we liked it, only two minuses - not very tasty food and no entertainment on site. And stairs too - if that scares someone.

But we went to the city, there are very decent restaurants. For fans of nightclubs in the city there is a special street, where all the entertainment establishments.
There are two water parks nearby, 15 minutes on a dolmushka. We are satisfied with the services of the host. Many excursions are offered: Ephesus-House of the Virgin Mary-temple of the goddess Artemis, Pamukkale, Troy, National Park, Safari, Water parks, Turkish night, Yacht trip. . . Fishing was not on the list. We ordered an individual one, we liked it very much.
Yes, the duty-free shops at Milas airport sell low-quality alcohol and are more expensive than ours, at least what we bought was not even close to Ballantines. So, stock up on our territory.
About the cost of the trip. We paid $1.600 for two weeks for two with insurance, with a flight from St. Petersburg on an IL-86.
