The hotel is located outside the city, stands alone on the slope of a mountain overgrown with pine forests. Two-story houses are scattered in tiers among pines and greenery. There are four rooms on each floor, each room has a sea view. Nature is amazingly beautiful! A picturesque bay, clear water, pine forest - these advantages of the hotel's location cover all the possible little things that you might not like. A hotel for those who expect relaxation, peace, silence, enjoyment of beautiful nature in the first place!
We lived in a house on the first floor, close to the restaurant, pool, beach. As far as I understand, the rooms of the first line were recently refurbished, so the room is quite good, about the same rooms we had before in five-star hotels (we are resting in Turkey for the fifth time, before that we were in 5-star hotels). BUT - rooms that are further away, on the next tiers, judging by the reviews of vacationers, can be much worse. So you need to keep this in mind, and ensure that you are given a good number (the 10 dollars invested in the passport upon settlement help). Two Russian women clean the rooms, and the cleaning, of course, leaves much to be desired (although we honestly left a tip? ). Bed for two weeks, it seems, have not changed even once. Towels were changed every three or four days, but for some reason we have been left without a foot towel for the last few days. Cleaning consisted of taking out the trash can. But we are not pretentious people, and this did not spoil our vacation, I am writing about this for people to whom this may be important. Safe in the room is free. Beach towels are available for a deposit of $ 5 for two towels, they are issued at your request at the reception, you can change every three days.
The hotel area is quite large and beautiful, although not very well-groomed (here, in general, the staff is not very tense, although this is still a four, so we have no complaints, especially since the necessary minimum is being done). There are not very many people, and this allows you to relax, there is no crowd, there are always free places in the restaurant, bar, on the beach (although the hotel was 50-60% full during most of our vacation, despite the high season). The bar is located on the terrace with a beautiful sea view! The restaurant also has a sea view. Between the restaurant and the bar there is a beautiful large swimming pool, some of the sunbeds near the pool are located in the shade of trees (there are popular places, do you have to take it in the morning? ).

The beach is across the road (this is not a problem, because the road is not busy, and occasionally passing cars or minibuses will not disturb your rest). The beach to the left of the entrance is a narrow strip of pebbles, where the sunbeds are in one row and at a sufficient distance from each other, which means that no one will be trampling over your head, and there will be some kind of your own comfort zone, this is important for me, and This is one of the things that made me really like this hotel. To the right of the entrance there is a small platform, lined with stone, sunbeds stand in two rows. Water is the purest! It is a pleasure even just to admire this clear water! Swimming is also very pleasant, the water is kind of soft, very warm in mid-July! The bathing area is very large, far from the buoys, spacious, which is important for those who like to swim a lot (unlike the city hotels of Marmaris, where this area is quite small due to the large number of boats).
Rest, mostly families. In our race, 80% of vacationers were Turks, the rest were Russians and Ukrainians (although a week earlier, when our friends were resting, 80% were Russians). There is no animation, all the animation is that the DJ turns on music by the pool during the day, and in the bar in the evening. Therefore, many, especially young people, go to the city in the evenings, especially since the minibus runs every 30 minutes. From Marmaris to the hotel, the last minibus goes at 12 at night. The ride takes about 10 minutes. The fare is 3.25 lira per person.
As for food - maybe it is not as varied as in five-star hotels, but there is a lot of everything and delicious. Watermelon - three times a day in unlimited quantities. There were no fruits. Classic breakfasts (scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs, muesli, jams, yogurt, sliced ​ ​ vegetables, cold appetizers, bread, a wide variety of cheeses). Very good coffee from the machine. In the afternoon, soup (usually vegetable or pea), salads, stewed vegetables, meat (chicken or beef), sometimes fish (only mackerel), for dessert - honey sweets such as baklava and manna. About the same for dinner. Good white and red dry wine. Well, as always - cola, fanta, sprite, mineral water in unlimited quantities.
For those who like to walk and see something interesting, I recommend going to the Nimara cave. A very interesting and unusual place, such huge caves have not yet been seen. Getting there is easy - take a minibus in the direction from the city and go to the final (yacht marina). And then just walk along the road for about two kilometers (40 minutes slowly and making stops in order to photograph the most beautiful view of the bay). Next, you will see the Nimara sign, go a little up the road and on the right you will see steps into the forest.

There is no water sports point in the hotel, if you want to ride a parachute or a banana, or something like that, then you have to go to Marmaris. You also need to keep in mind that there will also be no view of the open sea - there will be a small peninsula in front of you (suddenly it is important to someone).
If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer!
