I rested in this hotel with my wife and one and a half year old child from 09/16/2017 to 09/26/2017. The ticket was purchased six months in advance, so the price was small.
We arrived at the hotel at 11 am. The road from the airport took 1.5 hours with a 10 minute stop at the store. They settled in right away. At the reception he asked for a better room, not a class higher, but simply so that he would not be killed. We have a Club Standard Room ticket. He didn't give me money, he just asked. We got the keys, waited for the porter and went to the room. Room 2361 was well located in the center of the hotel. Fresh renovation, new furniture, new serviceable plumbing, white laminate flooring, freshly laid tiles in the bathroom, a good new hair dryer. I am in Turkey 4 times. There were also more expensive hotels. But the number is decent. The disadvantages were, for example, a broken window in the toilet (the latch is broken, or it is completely open, and they can see you from the street or close it completely, then it will be damp). The shower door is poorly designed, when it is opened, water flows onto the floor. Therefore, the bathroom floor is always wet and had to throw towels. There are 2 separate beds in the room, we immediately pushed them together against the wall, and the three of us could easily fit. The children's bed was rejected. For a child, towels were given to us after a request at the reception. After settling in, we went for lunch. For a child, a children's table, but it is very scarce. There is something to feed from an adult table. We ate ourselves, the food is standard, as in many decent hotels. The food is not spicy, which is very good. Surprised by the wide variety of fruits. Lots of different fish. No one interfered when they took food with them to the room. In general, I noticed the hotel staff was so set up that no one interfered with anything, they behaved politely, dignified, friendly. After lunch, after briefly examining the territory, we went to bed, since the flight was also at night with a slight delay. Waking up in the evening, we went to the sea. The sea is clean, the beach is mostly sandy, pebbles when entering the sea. After the sea, changed clothes and for dinner. Places were taken on the street, as the room is very noisy, and the atmosphere is not like in a restaurant, but like in a crowded canteen. There is no service in the restaurant, for alcohol you need to go on your own. After dinner, we decided to take a walk around the territory, show the child the zoo. The territory is huge, well-groomed. A lot of living creatures run around the territory: rabbits, cats, ducks, geese, fish swim in ponds, met turtles, in the mornings horses ran around the football field. Great zoo, kids love it. Animals were fed with bread, carrots were taken from the waiters, apples were taken from the dining room.
As if everything is good, but not quite. The hotel is good for families with children. There is nothing for newlyweds to do here. No animation. Show - you might be lucky if guest performers, a circus, dancers come by. And so boring. I didn’t even see the disco, I can’t say anything.

After talking with other vacationers, not everyone was happy with their rooms, someone had a dilapidated room, someone had a building on the outskirts, in this regard we were very lucky.
As is customary in Turkey, rest should begin with a hammam. But his visit simply shocked me. Leaky towels, broken plumbing, sunbeds worn to holes.
There are 2 types of beer in the bar - Efes and Becks, but I didn’t notice the difference, I’m sure both taps are connected to the same barrel. The wine is sour. Alcohol is of low quality, poured at the bottom. Cocktails are not tasty, each bartender makes in his own way. The local Raki vodka (mixture to taste) is the highest quality alcohol, as the Turks themselves drink it.
Wifi worked well throughout the area, even in the room.
Very tasty ice cream and many kinds strictly on time in 2 places, at the water park and at the amusement park. The water park has more species, at least 4.
La carte restaurants were in Chinese and Fish. Chinese liked - and the atmosphere, and delicious. And the fish disappointed - it looks beautiful, but the menu disappointed.
Tourists - mostly Turks themselves, and Russians, Germans also met (well, according to tradition, all the staff worked for them, entertained them in every possible way).
At the expense of the coxsackie virus - where without it. Children under 3 years of age were ill indiscriminately, that older children were not so acutely ill. No matter how hard you try to protect the child, it is guaranteed that he will get sick on the 3rd day of his stay. The hotel staff close their eyes, saying they are allergic to the sun.
We had a set of medicines with us (miramistin, viferon, cyfecon, nurafen, enterosgel), we managed on our own. They didn’t sit in the room with the child, on the contrary, he felt better in the fresh air, after 2 days the temperature subsided. Wearable sores were gone on arrival home.

The price for 10 nights for 3 people was 120 thousand. Half of the cost was paid by the organization where I work (preferential travel), so I will say that the price blocked all the disadvantages of the hotel. If I paid more, I would find fault with the little things, which are not few. Rest is quite good, but I would not say that I was delighted. But I wouldn't say it's bad either. Mediocre, no frills, crisis after all.
And now something that does not concern a particular hotel, but the situation in general.
In general, in Turkey they hide in every possible way that they have a crisis, that there is a shortage of tourists, that many hotels have gone bankrupt, or have changed their concept. The locals say they are doing well. However, savings are felt that were not there before. If you are already going to Turkey, I advise you to read the latest reviews about the hotel, since Turkey 3 years ago is no longer the same as it is now. The hotel could have changed owners, or the concept, or started saving on everything. Old reviews seem to be enthusiastic, but you don’t need to pay attention to them, but look at what the situation is now. Have a good rest!
