We rested for 10 days from July 4 to July 14, 2024.
Advantages: proximity to the airport, the food in the restaurant is always fresh, fish every day, the sea is warm and clean, fish, you can go snorkeling, pleasant and helpful people: a lifeguard on the beach and a receptionist who speaks Russian (special thanks to them for their work). This is where the advantages end and the objective review begins:
The hotel is very tired, the booking systems are misleading - the hotel does not have any stars, it has been in need of major repairs and renovation for a long time. During our stay, the door handle, the safe, the elevator to the beach, the water dispenser on the beach broke. The dining room is a basement filled with smoke, where you don't even want to linger - I ate quickly and left. The waiters did not allow us to open the windows, but we opened them anyway with scandals, because it was simply impossible to breathe. We complained and fixed the problem with the hood. One evening, white wine was served in a glass with lipstick marks. The dishes are often chipped, the furniture in the dining room is worn and with traces of flies. Toilets are poorly cleaned near the beach, the floor is dirty, there is no paper. The sound insulation in the bathrooms is very poor, you can hear through the ceiling how the neighbors from above are going about their business. The bed linen and towels are almost always stained. In the elevator and next to it, someone spilled a cocktail and we had to go to the reception ourselves a few hours later to finally wipe the floor. In places, the tasteless design: the staircases are decorated with dusty artificial tulips and roses, which evokes associations with the cemetery. Take them away, please.
We rested as a couple on September 20-30, 2024:
The hotel is located in the city, 30 minutes from the airport, within a radius of 4.5 km there are attractions :Nizhny Duden waterfall, Old Town, within walking distance of grocery stores, pharmacies, many bars and restaurants, beautiful parks with turtles and fish.
The hotel is 10 floors high, the rooms are clean and cozy, towels and soaps are changed every day. In general, the staff is very clean, polite and friendly. The only thing is, there is a question about the stairs to the beach, there are a lot of cats who use it as a toilet) There was clearly a smell.
The food is varied - monotonous, as in many hotels in Turkey - you will definitely not be hungry, there is also chicken, turkey, sea bass, dorado, salmon, in different variations, of course mackerel and herring) a lot of vegetables, fruits: watermelons, melon, apples, pears, plums, grapes, a lot of sweets. Drinks are the same standard beer, wine, vodka, lemonade, ayran AI Works until 23-00.
The territory has a swimming pool, a slide, works on time.
Beach : platform-wooden pontoon, descent into the sea by stairs, the depth is 4 m at once. The sea is just incredibly clean and beautiful, a lot of fish, you could take a fishing rod) and so with a mask it is very interesting to watch them. Going down /up the stairs is approximately like a 5-storey building, since the elevator does not work - for us it was an additional incentive to move, we went to the beach 2-3 times. This is also why there were always free sun beds, many were too lazy to walk up the stairs. A lifeguard is on duty all day - he has a separate respect for his vigilance and responsiveness - he got his husband a lost cross when diving!!!
There are many foreigners in the hotel, everyone greets, the atmosphere is friendly.
Also in the hotel there is a hammam, sauna, swimming pool in the same place - the very thing for relaxation.
There is no animation at all, and this is also a plus, after all, the hotel is urban, for independent leisure activities, for us it was again a plus, so as not to sit in the hotel in the evenings. On 2 Saturdays, there were weddings - at first it was interesting and curious, on the other hand, wedding music was playing loudly and during the preparation, vacationers were limited in access to the pool.
There are not many families with children, the hotel is quite quiet and peaceful.
Upon arrival, we were checked in at 11, we arrived early and could immediately use the infrastructure, checked out at 12, and used the services without problems until the evening. I recommend the hotel for active tourists, with standard expectations for the services of a budget city hotel. I also want to note the friendliness and desire to help Husnieh, the guest relations manager!
We were very satisfied!!! Thanks again.
It was the third time in June 2024. I love this hotel for its comfort, cleanliness, beauty, clean water, wonderful inconspicuous staff, delicious food, location. This hotel is not suitable for everyone because there is no gentle beach. It is not suitable for vacationers with children, the disabled, the elderly. The rest will be comfortable. Each room has a sea view. The sea is always clean, there is no children's noise, the cook is a professional. Not every hotel boasts such a chef. Meat and various fish, an abundance of snacks, salads, desserts - everything is perfect. Animation is Wednesday and Friday, but we don't need any more. We talked a lot just in a bar with foreigners. There are many British, Germans, Russians, Turks. Everyone gets along well and is quite polite and friendly. I liked the sauna and hammam. There is a bag store, Dilara works there, she is always ready to help. We went to Terra City. Excursions were not taken. Everything has been studied for a long time. I would also like to come to this wonderful paradise country and to this hotel. It has become expensive, but working people can do it. Enjoy your stay.
