The hotel is good. Quiet, family friendly, calm, no fuss like in big hotels. The road from the airport is 1-1.5 hours in total! I saw several rooms, there may be different options for beds. The size of the rooms is not large. But comfortable. The rooms have full balconies and with plastic furniture. The room was cleaned daily "In haste", the towels were changed in the room, and the bed linen was never changed in a week. When you check in, there are 2 bottles of water in the refrigerator (then you can get water in coolers), 2 bars of soap, a liquid product in the shower (bath). The rooms are all normal, simple but tidy. Beach towels are issued once upon check-in at the hammam, towel change is a paid service. Safe and wi-fi for a fee.
The hotel consists of two parts (buildings), which are interconnected as a single building. In one building there are rooms on the 0 floor, an elevator. There is no elevator in the second building. The air conditioning works in a strange way than in other hotels. But in the end, I didn’t use it, the room did not go out on the sunny side, pine trees grow under the windows, the only thing is noisy if the room faces the street. You can hear the music of the neighboring hotel, singing from the mosque, barking dogs in the wasteland at night, auto-moto equipment. There is no animation, in the evenings the kids get bored there. The contingent of vacationers most of all - the elderly. Were with small children, but very few. There were young couples.
The food is very good! The beer is good. Due to the small area of ​ ​ the dining room - no need to run around with plates, cut circles and look for a convenient place - like in huge hotels! It is possible to sit at the table both inside and outside, and in the smoking area (near the bar). Everything is calm, measured. There is a small selection of food. In the evenings, cooking is done and tables are set outside. The men were definitely not hungry! For 7 days there was 2 times fish, fried meat and pasta with meat in the evenings. Enough fruits and vegetables! Maybe true, because the season was. But the fruits are large and a good selection! The kitchen is EXCELLENT!! ! Thanks chefs!! ! And for the attendants, they work like bees, quietly, inconspicuously, neatly. There is, of course, dirt in places, you can see it in the first days, and then it doesn’t hurt your eyes...

The territory of the hotel is practically absent. There is a small secluded place, such as a playground, there is a bench and coniferous trees, it’s good to sit there, breathe in the aroma of trees.
Nearby there are shops, near the ancient city with ancient ruins, shops, a beautiful embankment, it's nice to take a walk in the evening.
Everything would be fine, but....THE SEA IS FAR! Although for lovers of hiking, or watching the figure, it’s even good that there is an opportunity (reason) to walk. There is a free shuttle to the beach, but it is often crowded and the travel schedule may not suit you.
The journey takes about 20 minutes. On the sand with stones, partly on the desert. On the way, you can go a little to the side to the bus parking and buy ice cream and freshly squeezed juice for 2 bucks / 10 lira.
The beach is good, good sunbeds, there are umbrellas, tables with ashtrays. But the Russians smoke lying down and the smoke is everywhere and everywhere!! ! It is not possible to breathe and just lie down to sunbathe! Few people stepped aside to smoke. The beach has a very decent toilet, shower, changing cabins. There is a cafe with soft music that does not interfere with rest! I heard positive feedback from vacationers about the food in this cafe, the portions are huge, everything is fine, but the shrimp was not recommended.
The sea and the entrance to the sea are just super!! ! You swim and admire the ruins on the shore, the coastal part of the ancient city!! ! The sand on the beach is coarse and grainy. The kids love to play on the beach. A bit dirty sand, near the sun loungers (cigarette butts, small garbage)
Special HUGE THANK YOU!! ! Natalia (responsible for the hammam) and Xenia (administrator at the counter)! For their hospitality, courtesy, care and attention, interest in every guest!! ! Ask everyone, you can consult with them. They do a good massage in the hamam, a pleasant atmosphere, simple, nothing superfluous, but cozy.
You can return to the hotel! I recommend!! ! Good atmosphere at the hotel.
