Hotel ratings by criteria:
Arrival-transfer-settlement - no problem, we lived in a villa, in a two-room suite with a jacuzzi. The room is clean, spacious, but "tired" - stains on the furniture, a yellowed refrigerator in the mini-bar, undermined curtains, etc. There were no complaints about the plumbing, but only once in the bathroom it smelled hellishly of sewerage - they went to the reception desk, complained and the stink stopped)
In terms of food - decent breakfasts, chic dinners, BUT absolutely "no" dinners. Lunches are served not in the main restaurant, but by the pool and you won’t be able to eat tasty treats there - one or two types of meat are served, more often sausage cutlets, trout / sea bass / sea bream on the grill and several types of side dishes - french fries, rice, mashed potatoes . There are no ready-made salads, sweets - 3-4 types of cakes. Apparently, this decision is due to the fact that Europeans (who are the majority among vacationers) do not eat heavily at lunchtime, they "snack". And indeed, no one overeats at lunchtime - they gnawed on potatoes with sausage and then rolled around in the pools, until dinner. My husband and I didn’t have enough food at lunch, I confess honestly) But we compensated with a meal at dinner, which is simply divine. During our stay, there were red fish three times, there were quail, a turkey every day, lamb, however, not enough, but beef and chicken were in stock. Sweets are good, high quality, fruits - a magical choice, there was EVERYTHING.
Excellent pools, gym, sauna - everything is like in normal high-quality fives. Martini-Baileys is not poured for free, beer, wine, vodka, brandy, rakija and all kinds of cocktails with these ingredients are "free" from the booze)

The entire infrastructure of the hotel is "sharpened" for children's recreation. But if you are traveling alone, without small children and without a company, then you can go crazy from boredom. Animation for adults - almost none. There is nowhere to go in the vicinity, the village of Sarigerme is very small, with one shopping street, half an hour is enough to get acquainted with the shops. Prices for excursions are designed for Europeans - all good options start at $ 70 per person (rafting, diving, trips to the islands, fishing, etc. ). Cheaper - only a tour to the bazaar, but sightseeing tours of Fethiye and Marmaris. There is no Wi-Fi in the rooms, and in the evening hours the lobby is not overcrowded with those who want to stick to the World Wide Web) By the way, there are no Ukrainian channels on the TV either - they escaped the evening boredom with a laptop and movies uploaded to it)
Separately, it should be said about the beach. Of course, its "wildness" is somewhat discouraging, but protecting the turtles is a good thing and we were initially prepared for the fact that there were no "all-inclusive" amenities on the beach, except for a stationary umbrella and a sun lounger. The situation is even worse with water. To the right of the hotel, a mountain river flows into the sea and green fresh water, due to the current and constant wind, is “nailed” exactly to the Tropical beach, along with garbage and dregs. On the territory of the neighboring hotel, standing to the right (Robinson, just behind the rock, which is a 10-minute walk from the Tropical), there is a completely different sea, blue-blue, transparent.
There were no questions to the staff, cleaning was flawless, the territory is luxurious, clean, there are many sunny lawns, but there are also shady places, especially in the villas. In general, the rest is normal, especially for the amount for which they took a ticket (8 days / 7 nights for two a little less than 1300 ye), but I don’t plan to return to this hotel and in general in Sarigerme anymore - it’s too boring.
