rested from 21.07, a family of 3 people, I liked almost everything with a few exceptions, not in Turkey for the first time, so there is something to compare. In general, the hotel is very good, large comfortable rooms, service, etc. I especially liked the beach, the clear sea, the sand for children is just wonderful. It is very important that the beach toilet is clean, there is water, soap, etc. again, for families with children, this is important, at least for me. In the beach coffee there is always water, drinks, juices such as UPI, cola, beer, the children especially liked hot chocolate, they came up repeatedly. There is something to eat, in general, you will not stay hungry. The bus to the beach runs regularly, but we preferred to walk, 10 minutes is not annoying at all. About the hotel: as I wrote, everything is fine with a few exceptions, 1. the hammam is not bad, but it’s a bit expensive for the second time for $ 40, you don’t really want to go, and they tried the massage better, so see for yourself it’s normal for one time.
The good thing is that the steam room, the sauna is free from 9 to 21 pm, we visited regularly. 2. The gym is not bad, but children are not allowed, although they make an exception for the Germans, my child was kicked out although he was with his father, and he is familiar with exercise equipment, he goes in for sports at home (the child is almost 11 years old), it was a shame when you see that German children can but ours is not. These are perhaps all the comments, although there is one more thing - the animation is not very good, because there is something to compare with ! ! ! Maybe I'm biased, but in contests there is an interesting attitude towards Russians, all answers should be in English, even if the answer was correct in Russian, the animator explained that they say Russians are only 8% and not everyone understands what you are saying, again compatriots - learn English! According to the numbers, ours was in building 1, on the third floor, everything would be fine, but loud music strained until 23-00, because the child and I tried to fall asleep due to the time difference (6 hours), but without result, but over time you get used to it.
Cleaning was regular, but not very high quality, soap items were put on arrival were no longer replenished, towels were changed, but not all, sheets 2 times. Bedspreads are synthetic (no duvet cover) so not very nice. The great thing is that the room has internet access to communicate with the house without any problems, given the cost of telephone conversations. The food is very good for both children and adults, meat (not only chicken) - beef, lamb, liver, always available, fish is also, although not very tasty. Vegetables, fruits, dried fruits, honey jam, etc. are in abundance. Juices, wines, etc. too. I also forgot that the water in the room was not left regularly, reminded repeatedly. Beach towels are given as a deposit for $ 10, the safe is paid, but these are necessary costs. The hotel guide Victoria will explain everything in an accessible way and help if necessary. I recommend trips because there is something to see in Turkey.

Be sure to visit antique Side, on the shuttle bus number 5 to antique Side, the trip will cost $ 2 per person, the bus runs regularly. As for the currency, I read in the review that you need to take euros, although I used to take dollars myself, this time I took both, but I still recommend dollars, because they (the Turks) use the conversion coefficient very strangely, in short purchases dollars are cheaper. For shopping in the vicinity of the hotel, there is a small market about 300 meters away, you can and should bargain, they don’t drop the price especially, in some places even aggression is shown (they can send). I recommend visiting a small but cozy Han souvenir shop (like so) it's easy to find - 3rd from the road in the first row. The meeting with our former compatriot Marina is especially pleasant, you will be treated to delicious tea and unobtrusively offered souvenirs, sweets, coffee, tea, etc. It is worth noting that the prices in their shop are noticeably lower than in others.
It seems that she wrote everything, in general, everything is fine, the child was pleased, especially the free ice cream from 15 to 17, the ice cream is really not bad. Many thanks to the hotel staff for a pleasant stay and personally to Katya. Everything else about what I did not write read in previous reviews, everything is true. Thank you all again.
