We had a great rest, of course there are disadvantages, but they do not cover the advantages. In order:
Nice, clean, comfortable, beautiful rooms. There is a kettle, a refrigerator, a glass shower, a TV with Russian channels, and the air conditioner works flawlessly.
The food is good, we have never been hungry, they feed us all day, breakfast until 10 a.m., then pita bread with grilled filling, then lunch, again pita bread or bagels, then dinner.
THEY did NOT get POISONED, they did not catch rotavirus, as others write. Side dishes include rice, bulgur, orzo, potatoes, pasta. Of meat, chicken , sausage and sausages are more often tasteless, there was turkey and beef patties, fish was 3 times a week. Vegetables and greens are plentiful. Of the fruits, only watermelon, plums and pears, which were quickly disassembled. Sweet is a typical Turkish separate pastry. There were also soups.
Based on the experience of staying in a threesome, we chose simple food, I always sniffed what could go bad, we didn't see cockroaches, they clean up as soon as they see that people have finished. There is always a manager sitting or walking in the hall, who monitors the employees.
Of the cons: the distribution /dining room is small, so there are long queues in the first half hour, both in the main dining room and at the grill. We took our time and went to get food after half an hour.
Also, due to the large number of vacationers, they do not have time to wash glasses and appliances efficiently. Plus the glasses are plastic, so they look yellow.
We always wiped the appliances with a napkin before eating, and also drank only with tubes.
As for the bar, the beer is light and ordinary, the store next door tastes better, of course, but it also costs 85 lira. There was white and red wine, vodka, gin. The coffee from the vending machine is like 3in1, the tea is good. Drinks-juices (diluted) without restrictions. And alcohol is poured without problems, no one counts how many glasses you took, and they do it well. And ice and lemon will put everything. There are also paid cocktails such as aperrll and longaland at a price similar to in Russia. (7 euros)
The staff at the hotel is responsive, friendly, there are a lot of people who speak Russian, so there are no problems with communication.
I would like to note that the hotel is more youth-oriented: the music is noisy until 23 exactly, so I do not recommend it with children. At the same time, many people rested with children, it seems to me that they are the ones who suffer from rotavirus, because children grab a lot of water in the pool and in the sea.
Beach and sea: there are pebbles on the beach, in the sea the plates are large, wide and long, so people go in other directions. We are in Turkey for the 3rd time and it is impossible to swim without special shoes. Therefore, shop around. But we were ready. There are a lot of sun loungers and enough for everyone. But there are problems with umbrellas, a lot of broken and leaky ones.
Access to the beach through a tunnel immediately from the hotel.
By the way, a towel for the beach is given on bail. There is free water, juices, and coffee at the beach bar. The rest is paid and expensive.
There is a changing room, toilet and shower behind the bar. For some reason, they don't talk about it.
WiFi: it was an important attribute for me, and it turned out that VF catches almost everywhere, both in the room on the 3rd floor and on the beach. Moreover, it is free and worked well.
We did not pay extra for the room upon check-in, we were given a room with a view of the dining room, of course it is noisy in the evening, but at 11 they turn off the music. We were settled quickly. An hour and a half earlier, and we waited five minutes from the moment we entered the hotel.
Nearby there is a small network migros, a pharmacy with a Russian pharmacist, the rest of the shops for tourists are very expensive, do not even waste time on them. On Thursday, a large clothing market arrives near the hotel (there is also food).
There are also two swimming pools and 2 slides on site. A separate small one for children. There are sun loungers and tables on the second floor of the terrace.
The result: we paid 44 thousand. For a week for two. I think the price and quality are excellent, I even expected less. Of course, after reading the reviews, I was afraid of poisoning myself, so I write a review 5 days after returning, so that I can be sure. There are disadvantages, and for some they are huge, but not for us.
If you are used to relaxing in the top five or expect a lot from the Turkish top four, you are not here. If you are on the positive side, do not dig into the details, then you will like it. For this money, I would have returned next year. We had a great rest at this hotel. Plus, we went for a lot of walks and shopping. Of course, I do not recommend going with children because of the noise. Well, if you are picky about food, too.
I remembered that the animation was two times in a week: 1 time games from the bartender, the second time belly dancing.
Who has already taken the tour, do not worry, the hotel is good.

I'm vacationing with a child of 5 years old, we are happy with everything) a very decent hotel, a lot of Russian vacationers. The rooms are clean, cozy, everything you need is there, the staff is friendly, there are Russian speakers, they settled in within 10 minutes, the food is delicious but monotonous, the beach, the sea on site, 2 minutes, clean,there are a lot of sun beds, umbrellas. The pools are clean. There are spa services on site, I advise you to visit, massage for 5+, shops with everything you need, a hairdresser, a large store across the street Migros, you can shop there, prices are very acceptable. Animation works every day, both in the afternoon and in the evening. The hotel can be seen that after renovation, everything is new. I recommend the hotel, I rested earlier and at 3 and 4, there is something to compare it with, a very decent hotel. The child and I are not bored. I haven't noticed any disadvantages yet, we rest for the 4th day.

Good location, nearby there are shops and a pharmacy, bus stops. They settled on the 6th floor with a view of both the city and the sea, the rooms are good, the cleaning was excellent. The beach is acceptable, there were enough places, there are plates entering the sea, but there are none on the right and left if you pass them. The staff and everything in the hotel is excellent except the food. The breakfasts are normal, there is no need for any variety. We didn't know what to eat for lunch and dinner, we're not picky and we eat everything, but usually it was chicken of a dubious kind, bulgur or rice, cucumbers and tomatoes and some huge amount of cheese. Even if they were poisoned and after that it was squeamish to eat there, as a result, out of 10 days only 3 ate at the hotel. The plates need to be checked - they are often poorly washed, the cutlery was washed by themselves, because they are also poorly washed and they are often not removed from the tables if people were sitting and did not use them before.
