The hotel is good, we just do not rest with a rating below 9. However, there are many nuances that reduce its rating by 8.5.
The check-in went quickly, but with baksheesh in the form of 10 dollars. The room itself is good, but the bathroom is tiny. The main disappointment awaited us at night. Our balcony was overlooking a piece of the sea across the neighboring hotel. And in this hotel the air conditioning system works 24 hours a day and the noise at night is such that it is impossible to sleep with the doors to the balcony open. The air conditioner in the room works, but there is no "night mode" in it, so sleeping with a working one is uncomfortable. They left the door slightly ajar so that at least some air came in and there was minimal noise. This is the main disadvantage of the hotel room - there is no night silence and tranquility, and, accordingly, it is stuffy to sleep.
Food. I don’t know how it is in their 5-ke that is across the road / tunnel, but our cook clearly did not shine with professionalism. On the very first evening, there were shrimp, crayfish for dinner, and there were a lot of salads, meat, which we were no longer interested in. My wife and I stocked up on shrimp, crayfish, beer and... what a bummer when they were tasted. Hell, they're completely useless. The shrimps are overcooked and tough, the crayfish are simply boiled in "empty" boiling water. Of course, we revived them with various sauces, salt and herbs, but this is not what we expected. So to spoil good products - you need to be able (or not to be able to).

As it turned out later, all food is made without a soul. The fish was different (seabos, dorado, mackerel, trout), everything was super, but... no one marinated it (salt, pepper, put grass) - they just fried it stupidly and that's it. Of course, the sauce, lemon, salt saved a little, but damn it, this is how to translate products. With mashed potatoes, the opposite is true - salty such that kapets.
With soups, too strained. The cook does not know how to make them, as for a 4 with a rating of 9. Baby food was also not visible. So, milk with balls... Yes, there are different fruits, but they are slightly greenish, only the bananas were ripe. Watermelons are not completely cut, a third of the plate is in waste. I repeat - "without a soul", quickly. Sweets are full, well, like everywhere else.
The hostess was very good at fried potatoes. Here all the guests eat it.
There is plenty of food - meat, fish, noodles : ) and potatoes (in variations), but everything is past the cash register.
But the sea itself is a class, warm, gentle + there were waves for a couple of days, there is no need to describe the beach either.
In our 4-ke there is no animation, not at all. Well, we didn't need it.
2 years ago we rested in a hotel nearby, and this one was spotted.
Three criteria are important for us - sea + beach, kitchen and quiet room. Only the sea + the beach correspond to 10.
There are other hotels in Turkey, it is unlikely that we will choose this hotel for the second time.
