All in all, good, if not for the problems inherited by the old owner of the hotel. Check-in will have to wait, but if you donate $ 200, you will immediately find a ready-made room. There is no sand on the beach, small pebbles with debris, sun awnings are well executed. The sea is full of pieces of plaster, pieces of concrete and even rebar. People are constantly pulling out pieces of concrete from the sea. There are not enough sun loungers near the pools, I had to occupy at 8 am.
This hotel has no restaurants, ordinary dirty dining rooms. There are some kind of rubber mats on the tables, no cloth napkins, no tablecloths, they save on paper napkins. The women brought evening dresses with them, but nowhere to wear.
The food is monotonous, but you can't go hungry - cutlets, chicken, fish, vegetables, etc. Crowds are annoyed - everywhere where something is fried, soared, boiled, queues line up, although I saw a lot of empty posts of cooks. For the beach 3 *, for food 4 *, for the organization and work of management in the restaurant and other places, there are even a lot of 2 *. There are no complaints about housekeeping, therefore 5 *.
Another important point is drafts. It is not for nothing that the real TopKapi was called the palace of shadows and rustles. The architect copied the hotel and drafts.
On the territory of the hotel, near the pools and in the amphitheater, the sound is terrible. Although in Turkey there is one principle of good sound - the louder the better. And behind the Sultan restaurant, how to cross the bridge is an openair-type stage with surprisingly not bad sound, you need to pay tribute to the audio engineers, they worked well.
That's all, we drank coffee, but the sediment remained. There was no desire to return again.
