June 2024. We had a family vacation with a child. Standard room in a bungalow. Everything was fine.
Well-maintained green area, all bungalows will have a good view of the garden. The extra bed was already in the room for free. The minibar is replenished free of charge daily with various drinks (sodas, beer, mineral water). The cleaning seems to be standard, without complaints. In general, all the staff is very friendly and try to help in everything.
There is a lot of food. Everything is normal in terms of quality, there were no poisoning and so on. You can eat almost at any time and in different zones (there is a zone of Turkish tortillas, several fast food zones, a pastry shop separately). Almost every day in the restaurant, some of the dishes are of a certain cuisine (Mexican, Chinese, etc.). The grill area and the pizza area are always open. Meat, fish always. There were shrimp and crayfish once. There is a large selection of main dishes in general. Fruit desserts are standard. There were not many queues, regardless of the time when they had dinner. We didn't go to a la carte restaurants, although there are some. At night, they are fed according to the menu in the Mexican rest. In the afternoon, ice cream, waffles, tortillas, pastries like khachapuri, shawarma, nuggets, etc. (this is in addition to the main restaurant).
Drinks are also no question. I drank only whiskey from alcohol, they poured imported J&B, Long John, Bells. I saw that Efes beer. Champagne seems to be local Turkish (Pirla or something like that name).
Animation seems to be standard. We are not amateurs, we did not participate much. In the evening, a mini disco and then an adult show (usually a performance by some kind of dance group or circus performers). Once a week (Thursday) themed disco in the green area near the beach. It was great, it's a pity that only once a week. The scenery from the TV series Paper House, a DJ with modern music (there were also Russian-language compositions), go-go dancing, an area with tables.
The beach is small pebbles. The entrance is so-so. Pebbles and stone slabs in places. The stone areas are not sharp, I think it is impossible to get injured there, but the legs are not particularly comfortable. We mostly swam from the pier into the sea. Pools, slides-everything is fine. Please note that the territory is quite large and if you want to live right next to the beach, then take a room in the main building. It takes 5-7 minutes on average to walk slowly from the bungalow (depending on which bungalow you get).
On the territory (in front of the beach) there is a bridge over the river, which is full of turtles and fish. There is a basket of breadcrumbs in front of the bridge and you can feed them. Turtles sometimes crawl around the hotel.
The hotel is mostly European. Most of the Poles, Germans, and Dutch. There were quite a few Russian-speaking guests and the whole hotel is focused on other countries. Please note if this is important to you. There was no negative attitude towards Russians from other guests. There are quite a lot of Kazakhs from the staff (both in the staff, and there is a reception and a service for guests), so you can explain yourself in Russian.
In general, I recommend the hotel.
A great hotel for a family holiday. We were at the very beginning of the season, before our eyes it was filling up. Despite the fact that our seven-year-old daughter was practically the only child for the first couple of days, she was fully entertained. Delicious varied food (lamb and squid kebabs are just top!), normal wine (especially white and pink, well chilled), good cocktails (we got hooked on campari with orange juice). I would especially like to note the friendliness of the staff, who speak different languages, including Russian, despite the small number of Russian-speaking guests. A well-maintained territory, a hookah corner and slot machines (for an additional fee), ice cream and waffles were included in the payment. At any moment there was something to eat and cook, as well as something to do. The sea is clean, the beach is pleasant, almost sandy, although we could not swim in the sea because of the strong waves. Pools and slides on the level. We will come back more than once.
