We were looking for a small hotel with a fairly high rating. When studying information about the hotel and reviews, it turned out that the hotel does not accept children under 16 years old. That means no screaming kids and no screaming mothers. There are also no animators. The territory is large enough, green, well-groomed, clean. The hotel is located on a mountain. The view from the rooms is great. Even on our second floor you could see the sea. The rooms are large enough (compare with the hotel in Side Pemar Beach Resort & Spa) 15-17 meters. The bathroom is combined. Because the hotel is on the mountain, then the beach is 1.5 km away and the minibus carries)) bus shuttle. Walk from the hill to the beach for 20 minutes, from the beach for 30 minutes, but the last 300 meters downhill. The road is not all in the shade and it is an ordinary country road. The beach is sandy (gray sand because around the foothills of volcanic nature), wide, 100 meters. For the hotel, sunbeds are separate, free of charge, with mattresses and umbrellas under the streak. There are few people on the beach. Only on weekends, when the Turks come for the weekend, it becomes more or less crowded. The sand gets very hot during the day, it’s hard to go into the sea without slippers. The sea is flat, even shallow, only at the level of buoys 2 meters deep. From entertainment on the beach, water skiing, sailing on a catamaran, water excursions, a bar with water like yupi and sandwiches. Cakes from 12-00 to 16-00. Meals at the hotel - buffet. Personally, I had enough food. And the variety of food is sufficient. Who complains - guys go on gastronomic tours. The meat is mostly chicken and turkey, but there was also lamb, beef, and veal. The fish was mostly mackerel, but there was also trout and tuna. Lots of vegetables, especially I personally liked the abundance of grilled vegetables. From fruits - melon, watermelon, apples. Lots of sweets. In general, everything that the hotel claims about food is true. Cleaning in the room is thorough, but as always, Turkish maids will not report either soap, or shampoo, or towels will not be changed, but when reminded, they immediately fix everything. The number of dollars left does not affect the quality and performance. The hotel is quiet and peaceful. The youth are bored. Disco in the basement and, as the son said, there for those over 80. About excursions - we went to Oludeniz beach with guides - the place is amazing. But with guides it's a scam. First they tell you that the tour costs $15. And then it turns out that the entrance to the beach is 7 lire, sunbed 15 lire, umbrella 15 lire. And it's good that you took the money with you. If you want to get a lot of fun for little money - every morning a boat leaves the beach for a tour of the grottoes and caves, you stop several times, swim as much as you want and see such beauty that you never dreamed of. Worth $10 and no cheating. The second excursion - With Mike the Crab or Mike the Bandit. At 9-30 from the hotel, a local Turk in an old jeep takes you first to catch blue crab, then to melon, then to a sulfur-hydrogen source, where you swim as much as you want, smear yourself with therapeutic mud. Then home to Mike, where he feeds you crabs and takes you half a day to the hotel. At about 15:00 you are at the hotel. Everything is very homey and friendly. You will not regret it. From the entertainment in the hotel - 2 billiard tables, table tennis, chess, checkers. 2 bars with local drinks.
What did not like. In some places the hotel is already in need of cosmetic repairs. Very weak Wi-Fi. The bus shuttle is not very convenient, the first flight to the sea is at 9-00, the last from the sea is at 18-00 (due to Turkish labor law). The hotel is inhabited mainly by Russians, Ukrainians and Turks. Will I go here again? Most likely yes, but already without a son, because. young people are bored here.
