A wonderful hotel for its price. The first line. Mostly Europeans are vacationing. There is no need to run early in the morning to take sunbeds on the beach - half of them are always free by 9 am. Food for 4. The variety of sea food is small. There is an outdoor pool and an indoor one. Free sauna and exercise equipment. WiFi is available not only in the lobby, but also in the rooms (reception depends on the load level of the shared network in the rooms). The road is 2.5 hours from Bodrum Airport. 10 minutes from the hotel, an outlet resembling the Belaya Dacha Outlet in Moscow - branded brands and Migros, Hyperglobus level. The sea is cool in the morning and warms up by the middle of the day. The Aegean sea, the water is clear, the bottom is visible for 2m. Sand entrance with small small stones. There is a bus stop to the city of Kusadasi nearby. There are no points of sale for various beach trifles near the hotel, nor pharmacies, because it is located in a rural cottage area.

THERE WILL BE NO DELIGHT
This year, choosing a hotel for two families with children was especially difficult, as the hotels tested over the years began to cost 500+, so we had to look for alternatives. After going through a lot of options, they all stopped at Ephesia (a number of hotels refused to check in Father and son, citing new rules, it is impossible without women) The reviews were generally decent, the price was adequate. If anyone is interested, then in Turkey since 1994, having driven it up and down and the level of hotels is Barut, Baia, etc.
And so:
Placement: everything is standard here, your room is not ready yet, come later, then later, in general, you will definitely be settled before 14:00. There is no point in swearing and demanding, it will not be faster. Towels are given, fed, in general, you can be patient. The only thing is that you will not be understood anywhere without Turkish. For the first time, English did not help from the word at all.
Rooms: An ordinary room, you can live, especially without complaints. The cleaning is weak, mostly the bed will be occupied and towels will be changed. No one will set up a marathon even when checking in.
Food: As we wrote earlier, you will not be hungry, the assortment is certainly meager, there are no queues, you can find something. Do not expect a sea of food and an abundance of fish. Very often, the trays run out and you need to expect the removal of the additive. Of course, drinks are only locally produced, there are no juices in bags, they pour filth from vending machines and then two types. Bottled water, ayran - drink up here. They took nothing from alcohol except beer and wine, I will not comment.
Beach: There are no private beaches in the region, so there is a narrow strip the width of the hotel, three rows of sun beds fit on top of each other, between the pool and the sea there is a clearing where an anthill begins every morning in the form of arranging sun beds and umbrellas as anyone, fortunately their number is huge and there are no problems. If you like shade, I recommend two pine trees, it's just fine under them, but take these places early, after breakfast you will be free in the sun only.
Since the hotel is small, traditional tortillas are baked right next to the beach and surprisingly there are never queues, it's nice.
But what was disgusting and ruined everything that was possible was SMOKING. There are a huge number of Turks in the hotel, then Bulgarians and Romanians, you can't smoke at home, and with the accession to the EU, Turkey has become cheaper and they are coming off to the fullest. A terrible stench envelops you everywhere. on the beach, by the pool, in the restaurant, as everything pulls inside from the open veranda. even at dinner, where the open space is the main one, people smoke everywhere and it doesn't matter to them whether there are children nearby or not. You can't smoke only indoors, there are no restrictions and zones for "nipple lovers" on the street (they don't know about electronic cigarettes there yet)
Do not settle above the second floor, you will wait forever for the elevator, they work terribly.
Bottom line, if you are not particularly whimsical and demanding, then you can come here. But there won't be a WOW effect here for sure.

The website and pictures idealize this hotel too much. I didn't really like it there, everything is straight for a C, there are still a lot of people, the food is average straight. The numbers themselves are approx. The pools are good. The sea is not very dirty and the beach is so-so. For the price that they ask is not worth it!
