First off, don't believe the hype of all the media about Turkey (sadly every country these days has…read moreissues). It's a beautiful country with amazing people and so much history you can fill a book (duh!). Secondly, security is not an issue here. 24/7 security on duty w/ guards manning the entrance to the facility as well as the beach. Now on to the good stuff. Stayed here end of May/beginning of June 2017 w/my family for 1 week. Upon arrival we were immediately greeted by the staff checked in promptly and offered some fresh lemonade. We were escorted to our room on the 2nd floor. It was a 1 bedroom suite with the separate "living room" that converts two sofas to beds. Separate full bathroom for anyone staying in that room as well. The main bedroom was spacious and had an ensuite bathroom. Both were very nicely decorated. Both rooms had walk out balconies that overlooked the pool/bar deck patio and the Aegean. Next time we may splurge for the terrace rooms perhaps...however most times were spent on the beach or poolside so it wasn't a huge deal breaker for us. The hotel property was really well maintained and the staff that took care of everything were very (very) friendly. Selo- Usually can catch him walking the hotel grounds checking on guests and signing up people for the hair dresser. Everyday I ran into him we chatted for a while. Mustafa- 99% of the time we sat in his area of the dining room. Very attentive and a pleasure to talk to. Ada, Tuana & Sevim-Kids club animators. These ladies were very good with the kids! My son was reluctant at first to do the Kids Club but he was all about it after the first day. Thank you for your efforts. Cenk- One of the main entertainment guys. Tremendous help for the hotel as he got me & other guests up to play punishment darts (so much fun...you must try for yourself! & archery (which I hadn't tried before). Hasan- One of the main bar guys & handled the sheesha (nargile/hubbly bubbly) duties. Very helpful as well. Baise & Yusuf- Piano bar coffee staff (I hope you both read this review) you 2 were AWESOME & deserve a commendation from management! Yusuf always had nice things to say, knows his drinks in & out...and all around nice guy! Even made my son 'Chocolate Milk on the rocks'. Treat yourself to a mojito or a frozen drink in the evening & you will get to know him as well. Baise always had a smile on her face and made some wonderful coffee for us that we enjoyed while lounging around the lobby or the patio deck. If you're a coffee person, stop by and see her. All the other staff that worked behind the scenes to make the hotel what it is should be praised as well. The chefs, the cleaning staff (always smiling) & the grounds/maintenance staff did such an amazing job. "Kolay gelsin" to you all ! The main pool is HUGE and virtually wraps almost all the way around the hotel. Big enough that you can float around or do laps and not interfere with anyone else. Perfect! There's a kiddie pool with a little slide for the little ones. There's also another pool with bigger slides opposite the kiddie pool. Love this as the main pool was more for the adults The beach is just the perfect size for the hotel. Enough parasols and loungers for everyone. There's even a 'silence zone' on the pier. There you can go and lay out in the sunshine and not be bothered by splashing or any loud noises. Just the waves breaking against the pier and the bartender on site setting you up with an ice cold beer from the tap. Water was crystal clear and shallow enough to wade out very far out. To the right of the main beach (next to the pier) there's a coral reef and a steep drop off that you can snorkel if you wish (just mind the sea urchins). It's the Aegean and there's all types of wildlife...crabs, fish, starfish & of course the odd octopus here and there. Met some wonderful folks on holiday there & hopefully will see them sometime on a return trip in the future. Visit this hotel, you won't be disappointed. Even during Ramadan when 99% of the locals don't eat, drink or smoke from sunrise to sunset, NO ONE on the staff batted an eye to assist us whenever we made a request. Incredible! See you soon Only CONS I have: UPDATE THE WIFI SYSTEM FRESH WATER POND (beautiful idea, but poorly executed as it's a breeding ground for Mosquitos).
