I welcome everyone! While memories are fresh, I will share my impressions about the conditions of rest in this hotel. I hope the information will be useful for future visitors.

First, about the good, that is, about what we liked.

1. Sea. The best thing ever. Clean, calm and warm during the day; playful, with cool waves rolling no after dinner. None of those with whom they talked on vacation, it did not leave indifferent.

Entry into the sea with a narrow ridge of pebbles, the bottom is sandy, even and uniform in depth.

2. Beach. Sandy, large and spacious. There was enough space for everyone, even local Turks who came from Ozdere. You can freely settle down, sunbathe if you wish, away from everyone, walk along the long shore. There are rocks where it is interesting to watch the surf, sea urchins and crabs.
There were not enough sunbeds, the problem was solved by leaving a beach towel until the next day or if you occupy them in this way in the morning.

The beach was not cleaned, only rubbish was taken out of the bins.
You can’t call it clean, but there was no large debris either. It didn't bother us all that much.

3. The territory of the hotel. It is large and spacious. There is an area with the shade of palm trees and shrubs, covered verandas, bar awnings and beach umbrellas. There are three pools: for kids, then up to 130 cm with slides and a large swimming pool up to 160 cm. All of them are cleaned and processed daily. There are fenced areas for football, basketball, tennis, table tennis, minigolf. Inventory is ok.

The territory is looked after, watered and mowed, garbage is removed.

Perhaps this is all that I liked, or for which there were no particular complaints.

Further - about the shortcomings and about what strained.

1. Incineration of garbage (most likely in order to save the cost of its removal and disposal). The procedure took place daily 3-4 times a day on the roof of the hotel from the coastal leeward side. Just like a daily repeated ritual.
The result is the smell of burning synthetic-polyethylene on the beach and especially in the surrounding area of ​ ​ the hotel, bars and rooms (we advise you to lock the balconies of the rooms for the day).

2. Cooking under the canopy of the hotel near the open dining room (frying fish and other "snacks" on the grill). Almost every day after dinner, this ritual smoked vacationers in the surrounding area, on the balconies of the rooms and in the rooms themselves. This was especially annoying during the dinner itself - there was nothing to breathe from the smoke.

3. Monotonous and poor nutrition. Lack of fruits (except watermelons and green apples - and this is in the season! ). Natural meat was only on the first day (chicken), hard cheese - the last couple of days, the dominance of soy cutlets - sausages was especially annoying. We were saved by fish such as sea trout, mackerel and anchovies, which were served "for 2 days every other day. "

4. A meager assortment of free and paid alcohol.

No white wine or beer in the hotel bars during the day is par for the course.

5. The rooms were not cleaned without a reminder from the maids, and then it came down to changing linen every 3 days and a vacuum cleaner. Tipping didn't help the situation.

6. Delays in the supply of clean dishes, forks and spoons, unhurried cleaning of tables in the dining room.

7. Sluggish internet combined with weak WiFi only in the lobby bar and in the hotel lobby on the floor above.

That's probably all that I wanted to focus the attention of future visitors to this hotel.

From ourselves, we note: it is a pity that the strategy of organizing a business by the owner of the hotel (a minimum cost for the service for tourists, they say, the beauty of nature compensates for everything) will very soon lead to the final decline of this once prosperous Club Lookea Maxima Bay 4 *, which is located in a very beautiful place Aegean coast of Turkey.
