We rested for 12 days with our family at the hotel. We read different reviews and chose a hotel located directly on the sea. And they did not regret the choice. The holiday experience is excellent.
The territory of the hotel is located right on the shore, there is a small beach (bay) with a sandy entrance and a separate pier with sun beds. But places need to be occupied in the morning, until 8 am. There are 2 pools, a noisier children's pool and an adult pool for lovers of silence, they are located in different parts of the hotel. The territory is green and well maintained. the view terrace and in general the whole hotel is located on a separate promontory. The views are beautiful in all directions.
There are no complaints about nutrition, it is delicious, varied and in the right quantities. Snacks and ice cream are also offered.
We chose a room with a sea view, which we got on the 5th floor. There were no problems during check-in. everything is fast and comfortable. The furniture in the rooms is a little tired, but the cleaning is daily with the change of towels and once every 3 days with the change of bed linen.
Not far from the hotel there is a small street with shops and a promenade for walking (Ladies Beach). A minibus to the city center stops 150 meters from the hotel (cost - 19 liras).
The staff is not Russian-speaking, but they are always friendly and responsive, there were no problems in communication.
The rest left very good impressions, I would love to come back again.
A five-star hotel does not exactly pull, a maximum of three stars, no more. The rooms are clean, cleaned every day. The food is varied, we haven't even gone to dinner in the last few days. You're dying of boredom in the evening, and there's no special program at all. It was correctly written that the evening program is for pensioners. Alcohol, cocktails, and there's no particular desire to drink them, and beer. In general, I won't say that it's bad, but I definitely don't want to go back there anymore. And a free Italian restaurant, that's something. I wasn't particularly impressed either. Yes, and children's animation, with a C minus. They only gave us printed sheets of characters every day, and that's all the entertainment for children. Positive: it's a clean sea, a beautiful territory, well maintained, that's all!
Overall impressions are 4 out of 5.
nutrition: Everything is there, everything is enough, the choice is excellent! But do not expect seafood and various fish, even the simplest. Side dishes are also a problem.
Burgers, fries, shawarma and pizza can be ordered by the pool from 12 to 16. Gozleme is also prepared there. This is a like! There is ice cream at certain hours and fruits by the pool.
TERRITORY: Very beautiful! A large pier with sun beds and + a large pier just where you can walk, the view from the room is very steep, but that's it. There is a mini beach, which, despite its size, is also divided into two parts, one of which is from someone else's hotel. Everything is usually occupied there in the morning, but you can find a place. With children only there, the pier is high and the stairs are not very comfortable.
There are two pools, one of which has three slides for children, and the second is typically an adult. Near the adult pool there is a sign "no entry for children under 15 years old"... no one cares, even tiny children are brought, hence the concept of an "adult pool" is lost. It's noisy everywhere. There is almost no supervision of children on the slides, almost no one follows the rules. The sun beds are occupied with towels for the whole day, and go away. Although it says that you can only borrow for an HOUR. Sometimes lying down by the pool is a whole quest. There is a strong lack of a separate pool somewhere on the roof, where there will be no such noise and splashes :)
THE CONTINGENT: Mainly France, Poland and Germany. No one will understand you in Russian, and it is also difficult in broken English.
entertainments: I would say that there are none)) Every day there is a "show program" on the mini mini stage, but it's soooo boring... Stupid contests from weddings and on Friday mini shows. Everything is in English-Turkish) And there is not even a bar nearby)) We were very bored, I think young people definitely shouldn't come here. All evenings you will have to sit near the lobby bar and think about the eternal.
THE AREA AROUND THE HOTEL: If you go out and walk for 7 minutes, an alley with shops will appear, and then you can go to the embankment and the cool Leydis Beach. Everything is there, everything is interesting and cool! This is a big plus.
The city of Kusadasi is nearby, there are many shops, an excellent promenade, a bazaar and a beautiful port.
ALCO: In the lobby, they will pour almost everything you want from the default, and in the rest only wine, rake, local whiskey and beer. There are cocktails everywhere, the choice is good. They mix perfectly, without regret) There is a choice of tea and coffee.
Number: We took a view of the sea, it's really very beautiful! But the furniture is very tired, the curtains are in puffs, there are big chips on the bedside tables. In general, it doesn't really pull at 5 stars)
Overall, the impressions are good, but in the evenings we don't know where to put ourselves, and we don't always have the strength to go to the city.
P.S. It turns out that the Aegean coast as a whole is not designed for ideal 5* and ultra all. Keep this in mind when choosing a hotel and region <3
