We are resting now from 08.08.24 to 08.20.24
The road from Bodrum airport is about 1.5 hours with delivery to two hotels along the way.
The territory is large and green with good landscaping and well-groomed vegetation. Navigation between houses and places: to eat, to swim, to see, is very confusing and illogical. After a couple of days, get used to it.
The pool is not our passion, and there are a lot of steps to go to the sea, but the muscles are in good shape. You don't have to go to the gym. Although there are slot machines under the fitness sign. No, well, that's fine.
Accommodation: we are vacationing 2+2 so we live in a one-storey building with four rooms. There is also a main multi-storey building, but it is incredibly isolated from everything and can accommodate two people in a room, if I'm not mistaken. All other buildings on the same floor, with which the entire territory is strewn, are pretty on the one hand, on the other, see the navigation in the previous paragraph. We were lucky with the location: close to the beach, bar, restaurant (but there is trouble with food, see below). There are houses on the outskirts of civilization, it's a long walk, but it's beautiful.
Number.
The most miserable thing in our room is the wall-mounted indoor unit of the kondey. It blows directly into the head of the person lying on the big bed and clearly towards the two-story bed where the children sleep. In August, sleeping without a condom is simply unbearable, and with it it is fraught with snot and all the "consequences". The effect of freezing the room in the daytime lasts until 2-3 o'clock at night, then the sauna. Don't count on sleeping at +30 and above. The room itself is moderately watered down, but not critically. They clean normally every day. There is a terrace with two chairs and a table. There are no cartoons in Russian.
Food: food is trouble. Who writes here about you won't stay hungry, that's right, you won't stay, but the pigs in the barn don't starve either. The local canteen (as we called it) is associated with the barn. The food is just filthy: the fish is dry, the meat is hard, yesterday's bread is constantly (where do they get it?). Everything that was not eaten for lunch will be at dinner, but in a different place.
Auntie making a day of gozleme, you are a ray of sunshine in this gastronomic gloom. Whoever came up with fillers from paper sausages for potatoes, learn from your aunt.
Soft drinks - chymose, coffee powder. On the fourth day, we learned that you can drink Turkish coffee, but this is a separate quest with self-service, but at least something natural.
Alcohol: UAI Hotel. To drink at least something not from local drinks, you need to humiliate yourself a little, just a little, but you have to.
Service: you can say no to it. This is the first time I've seen you have to run after a waiter at dinner and ask for drinks.
Breakfast starts at 7:00, but the omelette starts at 8:00. Half of the employees do not understand English. There is no question of Russian. They can take a drink order and just not bring it. Here, the absolute norm during your meal is to start rattling off leftovers from a nearby table into a cart, simultaneously loudly throwing dirty cutlery.
Beach: the sea is cool, the sand, the entrance is gentle. Since the hotel is located on a mountain, the beach line itself is very short. Plastic sun beds, reed umbrellas with holes. A very tight arrangement. If you are not on the first line, go around. There is a pier with a bunch of sun beds, with one entrance up the stairs (queue), it's more spacious there, but we don't like that. The wooden decking is tired and tries to put in a few splinters, which is what happened to the younger ones. To be fair, there are signs in English about the prohibition of walking barefoot. You don't have much time to take a towel or exchange it (from 9:00 to 17:00).
Summary: vacation has turned into an easy quest. Take a towel, find food after 17:00, get through to the reception and find an English-speaking employee, call an air conditioning specialist who will spread his hands, find a tea machine in the dining room, which was standing here yesterday.
Not a foot here anymore (pumped on the steps).
We had a rest at the end of June, after registration they deliver by rooms, the territory is large, three swimming pools, a large dining room, a bar, next to the bar a snack bar with a pizzeria and the opportunity to cook yourself a grill and burgers, etc., waffles and gozleme (pies with various fillings), wine and beer are prepared on the embankment, there is a volleyball court with basketball, ping pong, a restaurant, a small shopping complex with additional services,food for every taste, you won't be hungry, there are no crabs with caviar, but we haven't tried 50 percent anyway, animators entertain day and night, every evening there is a show program.The sea is clean, salty, it's easy to swim (I can't swim, but I swam there), there are no problems with other nationalities at all, the staff is polite, the bartenders are great, they pour everything you ask, we liked it
I will definitely add this hotel to my favorites. Everything is fine, absolutely. There are questions about the room stock (of the main building at least) I would like to refresh it, but we only spent the night there. And compared to other hotels of this category, there is absolutely no caffeine. Everywhere there is coffee only from vending machines. Also, the juices are all powdered and diluted. As far as these fundamental disadvantages are decided by everyone, this did not prevent me from having a great vacation.
We had a family vacation June 2023 , settled at 14 , we were settled at 11 without any problems, a lot of bungalows and the main building at the back of the hotel, there is no noise insulation, the territory is large, well-groomed, food is 4 , basic is available, the variety is small, the sea is clean +23 , the pool is large, vacationers are Turks, Bulgarians, Poles, Germans, near the city of Didim, we went shopping and walked along the embankment, in general I recommend
New nuances:
- through the door in the room there is super audibility, everything is happening on the street and the neighbor's door when he came all the noise wakes you up;
- to San.there is no ventilation in the node, if you use (sink / toilet/ shower) all the smells are then in the room);
+/- the room is shabby in places;
+/- I ordered Ultra-All-Inclusive, but judging by the service it looked like All-inclusive, but it didn't bother me personally;
+ stable Wi-fi throughout and by the sea;
+ birds sing great;
+ beautiful trees where you can breathe;
+ the magnificently salty sea;
+ 5-10% of Russians there, mostly Turks and Europeans;
+ the attitude towards Russians is excellent;
By the way, the hotel is now called differently - Anadolu Hotels Didim Club 5*.
Out of 10 points, I would put 7.
I recommend. A wonderful hotel with a gorgeous territory.

Friendly staff, many speak Russian fluently. There are many restaurants and bars, a selection of food for every taste. A very large and clean area, it's nice to just walk around it. The animation is interesting, it takes place in a real amphitheater, which is located away from the houses, so it does not interfere with those who want to relax. There is a huge swimming pool with slides on the territory. We were very satisfied with the rest.
The best hotel!!!! A relaxing attitude towards vacationers! The food is very tasty and varied! Animators all who work there love their work, and this is the key to success. We will definitely return there more than once
Nice rooms, a cozy bay with a sandy entrance, the sea is convenient for children.
The food was pretty monotonous, but everything was edible. The evening shows are repeated every week.
We were at this hotel from September 12 to 24, 2019. The hotel is super, the territory is large and green. Meals for 5+. The beach is great, the sea is warm.
