We rested well. Warm sea, although four days out of six there were big waves, but this did not stop us from enjoying the salty water. A lot of sun!!!
Tourists are mostly Germans, Turks, some Russians.
Positive aspects of the hotel:
- comfortable room with shower and balcony;
- linen and towels changed every day;
- clean large pool - 2 pcs, 1 pc. - for babies;
- free sunbeds, umbrellas and mattresses. Own sand and pebble beach. Convenient access to the sea. During the day, the sand and pebbles warmed up so much that you had to walk in flip flops. But for warming the heels - great! And for acupressure of the feet - pebbles are just great! Special slippers for entering the sea are not needed!
- children's water park, open by the hour;
- the pool is cleaned and chlorinated every day. At 8 o'clock in the morning, the smell of chlorine is almost not felt;
- beautiful vegetation;

- delicious pastries, hot buns, probably focused on German tourists - the owners are Germans. Delicious puddings, jelly cakes and pastries;
- dishes can always be chosen to your taste, a lot of seasonings, sauces, vegetables and herbs. Meat, poultry, fish are always on the menu. Delicious chicken stew with paprika and spices. Props to the chef! Kashi, two kinds of soups, lentils. Calamari, shrimp salad. The fish, however, turned out to be rather dry. But this is an amateur. Goat milk ice cream (very tasty and viscous! ) - once a day after dinner - for free. Watermelons are constantly at every visit to the restaurant and sleep bar. From fruits: plums, peaches, melons, apples, pears;
- my husband appreciated the local beer Ephesus - refreshing and hitting the head;
- minibar replenished every day with non-alcoholic drinks. Bottled water at almost every step - very convenient!
- guzelme cakes with cheese, potatoes, spinach and meat - to choose from - not far from the beach - highly recommend!
- there are always free places at the tables in the restaurant;
- convenient location, two steps to the city bus stop and 500 meters to the market;
- spa with great masseurs - for women - a Turkish man, for men - a Thai girl. Highly recommend! Hamam is also available!
- Animation - day and evening. If you do not stupidly lie on the sunbeds - it will be very fun! In the Turkish bar you could dance to live music. The disco has its own from 23-30 and a couple of times they organized a trip to the disco in the city of Manavgat for those who wished.
Negative sides:
- very dirty beach. Despite the fact that there are urns, cigarette butts, plastic bottles, etc. , they throw at the pesos. But this is already the culture of tourists... The service is not in a hurry to clean up. A couple of times horses walked along the edge of the beach and made their fragrant gifts. No one cleaned up this mess.
- lifeguards on the beach are present for a limited time;
- a couple of times the bath towels were with holes, the duvet cover was washed with blue spots. It didn't bother me, but for a five-star hotel it's strange;

- despite the declared ULTRA all inclusive, freshly squeezed juice for 2 euros, champagne - for a fee. I didn't like the wine at all - neither white nor rosé . The feeling that alcohol has been added to the wine. A sip was enough to understand it. Whiskey is weird too. A husband and another tourist from Latvia had spasmodic pains in the stomach from a glass of whiskey at dinner at night, and friendship with the toilet for half a day. So be careful!
- it was strange to see plates and glasses with chips and cracks in the hotel restaurant... A couple of times the plates were, let's say, not quite clean.
- in the restaurant, the inscriptions near the dishes in Turkish, German, English. So it will be difficult for Russian-speaking tourists who do not understand foreign languages ​ ​ to navigate. Sauces without labels at all - guess it yourself!
In general, the impressions of the hotel are positive. If you do not bother with the shortcomings I have noted, then the rest will be great! It all depends on your mood!! ! The main thing is that there is a lot of sun and a warm salty sea!! !
