"We were on vacation together from 08/31/26 to 09/14/26
We chose a hotel according to our preferences – a large green area with pine trees and various fruit trees (lemon, mandarin, pomegranate), and a large beach. Behind the hotel are gorgeous mountains, the views are stunning. Because of the mountains, the downside is that the sun is already hiding behind the mountains at six in the evening.
We generally liked the hotel, we are satisfied with the vacation. Although the hotel vacation is dull, it is quiet.
If you need activity, parties, etc., then the hotel is not for you
The staff is friendly, I didn't feel any negative attitude. Many waitresses from Kazakhstan, so they speak Russian.
There are many Russian speakers, Ukrainians, and Poles among the vacationers, and fewer of others.
Bracelets are not worn.
Number
I liked the configuration of the rooms in the hotel; upon entering, there is a separate antechamber that is separated from the main room by an additional door. They said the numbers were killed. Well, I wouldn't say, you can see minor flaws in the repair, the seams are crooked, the silicone is poorly applied, but overall you don't pay attention to them, overall the room is normal. The hotel corridors are more dilapidated. The walls are shabby, with patches in some places. Even near the reception desk, there are some leaks on the ceiling.
They gave room number 314 upon check-in, overall the room is normal. The room is a waiting area, there is a sofa, it seems to be pull-out, but we didn't check, a table and a TV. The room has a bathroom with a shower cabin, a toilet with a bidet, and a sink, as usual. There is a tension rope in the shower cabin to hang something wet for water drainage. The room has a pair of wardrobe cabinets with non-removable hangers, a minibar, a safe, a double bed, and besides the regular floor lamps near the bed, there are spot individual lamps on both sides. Very small balconies, there is a small table and one chair. The second chair no longer fits. Clothes drying rack. Minus room number 314, the view from the balcony is blocked by the hotel building wall, only the mountains are slightly visible from the side, the balcony is kind of in the shade so laundry will dry worse. Plus, overall the view is not very good. There are tall pines on the territory, and if you want to see the sea beyond them, you need the fifth floor; even on the fourth floor, you can't see much beyond the pines.
So because of the balcony and the view, we went to ask for another room. They refused us, saying there are no numbers, everything is full. We went to the next shift the next day, and they agreed on another room for 10 euros per day. In Turkey, generally all prices are in Euros now, if you have dollars, they are recalculated at the exchange rate, to which the question of rounding this rate comes. So it's better to get Euros right away.
We moved to room 418. The number is actually the same, the only difference is that there were removable hangers and bathrobes in the closet. Otherwise, everything is the same. The view is better only from the balcony. View of the hotel grounds, pines, and mountains, where a little bit of the sea is visible on the left in the clearing.
We were satisfied with the cleaning in the room, they left $1 every day. The bedding was changed almost every day, and the minibar was also updated.
There was a case where repairmen were called to fix the mistakes. They arrived the same day, everything was done.
We would like to warn. If water ever pools on the floor in the room or in the bathroom, the indoor slippers slide on those drops on the tile, it's awful, I almost fell a couple of times.
Beach
The beach is large, divided into several zones. A small non-smoking area on the left of the beach. But the entrance to the sea there is inconvenient, so we didn't vacation there. Then the pier with sunbeds and umbrellas, you can occupy the sunbeds on the pier for free, it is convenient to enter the water via stairs to the depth. Then comes the main part of the beach, the back rows under tents, but the tents are bad, the roof is made of reeds, and it shows through in places. The front rows of beds under small grass umbrellas, there is practically no shade from them.
After this beach is the SunSet bar, behind it there is another stretch of beach with paid cabanas, I didn't clarify the prices. There were also sunbeds with umbrellas on the shore. There was enough space on the beach, and the main beach was never completely packed. Therefore, the beach with hippos is also not very popular. What do the vacationers at the neighboring Champion Village use, who apparently have very poor access to the sea?
As for entering the sea at our beach, the entrance on the beach is not very good for non-smokers, there are many large stones. In the middle of the main beach, a ramp for people with disabilities leads to the sea. You can enter through it, upon entering the depth of the sea from it is about chest-deep for me. Between him and the pier on the left, the entrance with sunbeds is approximately the same with large stones. To the right of the ramp, the closer to the right pier, the better the entrance. The best entrance from the shore is on the right, there is sand almost immediately, although the sea sometimes washes stones. And of course, you can enter the water from both piers using the ladders. Jumping is forbidden. The depth in the sea increases gradually, you walk for 3-4 meters, then you can swim.
Sun loungers are often taken with towels in the morning, but there is enough space. There are available spots at any time of the day. Towels by card, you can change as much as you want. Towels are provided in the middle of the area near the pool, convenient on the way from the hotel to the beach. We don't use the pools, but I walked around out of interest, there were free sunbeds there during the day too. A bar in the middle of the pool, next to a group of water slides for children and adults.
Also, there is a separate pool next to the hotel 18+
I didn't see any animations, at best a man walked by on the beach once a day and invited people to volleyball, and that was it. Maybe it's better at pools, but we are not interested. There is a venue with darts, a couple of tables for table tennis, several sports fields - football, tennis, a platform for yoga and aerobics, etc.
In the evening, the amphitheater has entertainment at 9:30 PM, but at best, it's gymnasts, and for most of the week, there are some children's performances.
The second spot is a bar on the shore of SunSet, and the program with live music starts at 9:30 PM. Overall, rarely anything good, we were more often bored and went to sleep. There aren't enough seats in the bar, there's a small area in the middle, but people rarely dance.
That's all for the animation. There is a piano in the lobby, but during our stay, I never heard anyone play on it.
Restaurant
There are no special frills. For breakfast in the morning, a plate with finely chopped smoked salmon, sometimes red fish. In the first week, no shrimp were seen, in the second, seafood was more frequent, but I didn't particularly like it, cold, rubbery.
From meat chicken, turkey, lamb, occasionally some beef. Various fried fish, dorado was there and some others whole and in pieces.
A couple of types of soups, sometimes tasty, sometimes not so much. I liked chicken, fish, and borscht. The purely local Turkish ones didn't really appeal to me.
Good selection of baked goods, from fruits: watermelon, melon, oranges, grapefruit, peach, plum, pieces of bananas drizzled with chocolate. The fruits were apples and plums, and two kinds of grapes.
Several places with coffee machines, the ingredients often ran out quickly, and we had to look for another one while this one was being refilled.
There is no such thing as a children's table. Where it says children's corner, it's basically a diet table, there is mashed potatoes, boiled eggs, boiled chicken, oatmeal. No baby food, microwave, bottle warmer, etc.
Overall, there is enough food; we decided on the third day not to go for lunch, breakfast and dinner were enough, and in the afternoon we just had fruit for a snack.
From the à la carte there were three
Italian Seasons was better than the others, good service, not bad dishes
Then we went to a seafood restaurant at the SunSet bar. Disgusting service, four waiters cannot serve guests properly. We waited a long time. Some dishes were said to be in the pre-order, that were put on the table for everyone, but they were not there. I asked for green tea, they brought black. In general, we are disappointed.
We went to a Chinese-style car, it's only paid, 25 Euros per person. We are not fans of Asian cuisine, but we decided to try it. We didn't like it.
In the middle of the territory there is also a restaurant with a set menu, and in the evening, I understand it is Turkish à la carte, but we didn't go there.
At the SunSet bar on the beach, drinks are being served, and another part of the bar with fast food (pizza, burger, french fries, etc.) opens from 12:30 to 16:00. We didn't take fast food, but you can also get a plate of seasonal fruits or ice cream there.
There are a dozen cats of different ages on the territory, sparrows, crows, seagulls. Be careful with the food because of the seagulls. A couple of times, right before our eyes on the beach, fast food was stolen from people's loungers while they were swimming; one time a cheeky seagull stole food from a table on the restaurant's veranda."
