We have spent our vacation in this hotel, very nice environment, friendly workers, interesting local dishes, a lot of kinds of cheese, tasty vegetables and fruits, all-inclusive bars, clean bathrooms, mini-bar inside the room is free. Bar on the beach is fantastic, tasty juices, full access to cold mineral water, a lot of deckchairs, every Friday the workers organize a really great dinner in a national style with a lot of tasty dishes, with a lot of music, flags, balloons, smiles, that gives you positive mood and emotions. The animators are very friendly, active and funny, during a day guests can participate in aqua-aerobic classes, play water polo. This place is a best decision for a 100% relax.  Everything about the hotel itself (room, food, service, cleanless, hospitality, swimming pool, sea, beach) is super, but the "objects" around on the territory of hotel is another story:  1. Spa on the territory of hotel does not deserve a positive opinion, because after the massage session the workers are creating stories about different illnesses and deadliest diseases, you get such "diagnosis" at the moment and the only way to be rapidly cured is to accept another massage for 80 EUR.  2. Be attentive also with additional entertainments on the territory of hotel, for example picture with camels, you are not even asked and informed about the price, they just make you any random pictures with the animal and then in a rude way ask to pay them around 20 EUR.  3. NOW IMPORTANT: Dear administrative of hotel, you have a really very good conditions for vacations, families, elder people, young couples, I have just one appeal to you - Please cure the sick ginger kitten on your territory who has problems with his left eye and global health, he is very weak. This kitten lives close to the bathrooms from the side of the swimming pool. This poor animal needs to be cured by any specialist. Please help to this ginger tender kitten to survive.

I have visited Turkey many times, and I must say that this hotel falls short of the typical Turkish 5-star standard. The previous negative reviews are accurate. The hotel appears outdated, understaffed, and the breakfast is subpar, lacking variety and warmth. Moreover, they could significantly improve the upkeep of the beach area, among other things. In essence, this hotel should, at best, be classified as a 4-star establishment. However, due to staff shortages and their reluctance to meet customer needs, it barely deserves that rating. I would rate it closer to 3 stars. The two ladies responsible for providing daily activities in the kids' club seem unwilling to do their job. First of all they do not announce their facility during the day. It is usually a custom practise that animators introduce themselves along with informing guests of the activities and make some chit chat. But not in this hotel. After just one visit, we realised why guests avoid this facility during the day. The two Russian lady animators make you and your child feel unwelcome, making it undesirable for your child to spend time in their company. Throughout the day, there are no animation activities offered to guests on the beach. The hotel's in-house animators are supposed to promote volleyball and bocce twice a day, but despite my frequent requests to both the animator manager and guest relations manager, the two Turkish animators (a lady and a boy, who are always together) responsible for beach activities fail to provide the planned activities. Instead, they seem to prefer playing with their phones around the pool area without announcing the scheduled activities on the hotel's timetable. I am not sure why the hotel is paying them wages. The kids' amenities, like the little theme park, have not been operational for many years. The so-called zoo is nothing more than a cattle shed and not really intended for guests to visit. The breakfast food is consistently cold and lacks variety. The majority of guests are not British but primarily East Europeans, with some Germans and Russians. It's important to note that the hotel is situated in a remote location. Keep this in mind if you enjoy going for walks or, more importantly, if there's a problem with airport transfers. The beach can be treacherous due to numerous underwater stones along the shoreline. It's advisable to wear swim shoes and exercise caution. On a positive note, the food during lunch and dinner is acceptable, as is the quality of the alcohol. Given the low cost of the hotel, it's essential not to have high expectations.
