This hotel is simply amazing! I loved the rooms (very modern). Even though we didn't have the view on the beach, it was amazing. You just have to make sure, you will get the room on the top floor because we heard some complaints from those living on the first floor. They cleaned our room every day and reffilled the fridge with fresh bottled water (1 bottle per person).
The food was good, plenty of salads, deserts, fruits etc. We could always get juice, beer, coke, coffee, tee or water to drink. There were mornings, when they prepared pancakes right infront of you, which I found very pleasant.
During the day they served some snack in the pool area. It was usually the same (salads, crackers, hamburgers, fries...), but always delicios. The staff was very nice, helpful and always in a good mood. In the entire hotel (even by the pool) was Wi-Fi connection which was for free but by the reception they offered a pc with internet connection for 1€/10 min.
The beach was great, close to the hotel (2 min), very long. There was a shower and bar on the beach. If you wanted to go to toilet, you had to pay the "toilet guy". However, the only problem was the water. It was clean but there were big waves for most of the time, which made it impossible for those who are not very good swimmers to swim or to get in the water deeper than your knees. The water attractions were canceled for 3 days due to the already mentioned waves. If you want to see some "life" in the water, you have to walk to the rocks at the end of the beach (on your left side - if you have the hotel behind you).
During the evening/night you can go for a walk to the port (30 min), which is really beautiful. There are huge clubs and attractive restaurants. There was always something to see or to do. The natives were always trying to sell us their goodies (98% fake) but that was the fun of it. They speak English and little bit of every language. We could pay either by Euro or their currency Turkish Lira.
I found this holiady very pleasant and one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Thumbs up!
