The hotel was chosen for adults - I wanted peace and relaxation. We chose Haven on the advice of a tour operator. We arrived around 9 am. Settled immediately in a room with a side sea view (paid for a sea view in advance at home). We liked the room: not far from the reception, no need to use the elevator, everything is tastefully decorated, although it smelled a little damp. The hotel workers attributed this phenomenon to the recent construction of the hotel. After turning on the air conditioner, the smell evaporated and we did not notice it anymore. We went straight to breakfast. I really liked the main restaurant: the food is varied for every taste - I am a vegetarian, my husband loves meat - he also liked everything. Freshly squeezed orange juice for breakfast was also a place to be. During the whole week of stay, we tried grilled shrimp and various fried fish, various fruits. The soups (my husband is an amateur) were delicious. I really liked the side dishes of rice with and without vegetables (this is my main meal). The service is polite, with a smile (in my opinion natural). The territory of the hotel is small, but very comfortable for vacationers. . There are also hammocks and a small stream with beautiful flowers on the sides on the way to the sea. The hotel has a very nice bar where we spent time in the sun. The signature Blue Haven cocktail is very tasty. 80% of the Germans rested in the hotel - they spent the whole day near the pool, and in the evening near the stage on the sea - there were all sorts of discos competitions. Therefore, in the evening in the pool, my husband and I swam alone - a buzz. In general - the hotel, housekeeping (they laid out sheets like sea pictures), attendants, food, spa (free 1 massage 30 minutes) - everything is beyond praise. Now a little negative: the beach - the first line - is good, but it is not from the hotel and everyone who wants to rest on it and local Turks with families come and visit from neighboring hotels. It's a little stressful. No one watches the sun loungers - who lies on them (bracelets were not worn at the hotel). The sea during our stay was dirty and with decent waves. My husband swims well - he sailed away from the coast so that the water was cleaner, and I was forced to wallow in dirty water. And MOST IMPORTANTLY - the lifeguards do not follow the vacationers at all. I almost drowned - coming out of the sea I was covered by a wave (my husband sailed far from the coast and did not see this) and I tried to get on my feet, but I didn’t have time and the second wave covered me again, I hit my head on the bottom and I was dragged along the stones with sand at the bottom - having miraculously got out, I couldn’t go into the sea alone without my husband - I was afraid. There is a lifeguard tower, but no one ever sits on it. We made an unambiguous conclusion from the trip - the hotel is cool, but the beach near the hotel is unsafe.
