IT TURNED OUT TO BE QUITE A GOOD VACATION! THE STANDARD TURKISH FIVE, FOCUSED ON THE AVERAGE REQUESTS OF EUROPEAN GUESTS! 1. Good atmosphere, good, hospitable attitude to all guests! There were a lot of Russian speakers, 30-40%, because the guests of the former Soviet republics also almost all spoke Russian! 2. Very beautiful and well-maintained territory, small, but quite cozy and compact! Only a small number of pine trees upset, because of this there are few shadow areas and the feeling of a sauna both in the afternoon and in the evening. There is also a very beautiful view from the sea while swimming or from the pier to the mountains, nature! It's just a thrill! 3. Cozy bright rooms, standard for 2 adults 25-27 m2 plus a balcony! A small bathroom, a cramped hallway. Quite comfortable mattresses of medium hardness, pillows have a lumpy filler (as someone wrote earlier). But this does not create inconveniences. Wide beds, it was nice to have a second king size bed (180cm) for one person - it's straight royal! Of the disadvantages, there is no kettle in the room. It would be good for us to have it so that we don't have to run in the heat or go to the bar in the evening. 4. Room cleaning for a solid four. Our maid was great, she washed the bathroom well and cleaned the balcony. I always put extra towels and toilet paper. Change of linen every other day. 5. Restaurant and food! There are comments on it, I will write below. In general, the food is good and varied, especially hot dishes! There is a lot of choice. Every day there are four types of meat (turkey, chicken, veal, lamb). Fish – every day (1-2 species, whole and fillets). Additionally, every day there were themed dishes (lamb, shawarma, kebabs, sushi, etc.) at separate stations. Side dishes: potatoes in several types (fried, mashed, stewed with meat). Rice. Pasta. Lots of vegetables: eggplant, zucchini, pepper, cauliflower (fried, stewed, grilled). A huge selection of different cheeses. A good selection of delicious olives and olives. For breakfast, everyone writes about it and we will write, very tasty pancakes were baked, this is a fact! Eggs and pancakes began to fry at 7-30. Many people also wrote about time. Also, there was always halva and honey in honeycombs for breakfast, a large frame! Desserts: Here it is a holiday! Such an abundance of cakes, namely portioned and shaped cakes (leaves, pyramids of different variations and fillings, balls, baskets, etc.) have not been seen for a long time. Everything is very beautiful and delicious! There were also many different national desserts. Fruits: always apples, oranges, pears. Sometimes there were grapes and bananas. There were cherries almost every day, but they were not impressive in appearance. Peaches and nectarines every other day. There were also apricots. They looked small and not very appetizing, but they tasted like honey. Juicy, sweet, fragrant! Ice cream!!! All day from morning to dinner, how the snack bar works! 6) Bars and drinks! A cozy pool bar. Huge umbrellas and upholstered chairs. The girl bartenders were good at making cocktails. There were free and separately paid ones. We are not addicted to alcohol, so there will be no more comments on this point. 7) The sea and the beach! The sea is our greatest joy. Always clean before lunch. After 15-00, the surf and this is the trouble of all beaches, blows away small debris from ships. We mostly swim in the early morning and before lunch, so it was always clean! The beach is what upset us the most. We went for swimming and relaxing in the beach area to enjoy the view of the sea. The old style of deck chairs with heavy mattresses that no one collected in the evening. As a result, in the early morning (before 8-30), until the sun dries them, they are all wet!!! Beach cleaning is also mediocre. In the morning they found bottles and leftovers in the trash. And there were always dirty tables! This is the first time we have encountered such a situation in a five-star hotel!!! This is a big minus! The old style of umbrellas because of this is a very weak shadow area, we were looking for shade by the pool, but there is not much of it there either. There are also few wooden paths on the beach, the central one and one along the sea. 8) An even bigger disadvantage in the main restaurant was the weak cooling system of the salad bar area and cold snacks!!! Because of this, we ate almost nothing from there, only cucumbers and greens. Often there were spoiled tomatoes, both sliced and cocktail ones. We didn't risk the rest. We also almost didn't eat cherries because of this in the evening. In general, the outdoor part of the restaurant (only the roof) is very hot at lunch and dinner. We sat down in a room where the air conditioners were working. But most preferred to stay outside in the stuffy air. For breakfast, despite the separate distribution area with cooling, where there were cheeses, sausages and natural yoghurts, we could not eat yoghurts. We tried it twice and it was sour twice… 9) Noisy from the evening shows. Someone wrote that it was from a nearby hotel. So no, it's from the Boren Mare Hotel itself. The amphitheater is very small and not deep. There is absolutely no wall muffling the noise of the speakers! I had to fall asleep with a closed balcony in the stuffiness. We tried not to pay attention to the shortcomings. We described them so that the guests would know the specifics, because when we chose this hotel, the reviews were overstated. In any case, we express our great gratitude to the owner for such a beautiful and cozy territory, houses and rooms! Everything else is fixable! Our vacation turned out to be quite good. They bought their fill. We went on two excursions: climbing the Takhtals and a big trip on a pirate ship with trips to three bays with swimming in the wonderful azure sea. It was awesome!

Hello everyone We had a vacation with my wife in 2024 from 05 to 15 September. We are very glad that in our time of changes, mostly not for the better, the hotel keeps the brand at the same high level. So, in order: 1. Accommodation. We arrived in the morning, around nine. We had breakfast and walked for half past ten. Only "family" (two-room) rooms are ready to move in, we have a "standard". After some small negotiations through the Russian-speaking girls at the reception (thanks to Miriam and Evgenia), the hotel manager kindly offered us (as regular guests) family room 625 (no extra charge!). Of course, we accepted this offer with joy. For reference: we are staying at this hotel for the fourth time, we were in 2005, 2022, 2023 and now in 2024. Of course, there is no such level as there was in 2005 (it's a pity), but these are general changes everywhere, like memories of bygone times. Our room. Towels and linen were changed every day, those who cleaned were not seen, because they were always on the beach at that time. We lived in the same room (there are two of us). The plumbing was working, the TV was showing something (almost not turned on), the refrigerator was fine. Eight bottles of water were brought (probably for four). 2. Nutrition. We have read reviews about poor nutrition, we fundamentally disagree. We liked everything (maybe we didn't have any complaints). The breakfast is excellent (porridge, pancakes, fried eggs with sausage, sausages, various pastries, etc.). Very tasty white bread (as in the USSR of the 70s). Sausage and sausages made of turkey (white) or beef (red), alas, there is no pork (Muslims) so the taste is different. Lunch and dinner are also on top, every day there is fish (sea bass and trout), we took lamb on a bone (super!), liver, baked veal. My wife took a seafood saute (I won't say what was there, I don't eat it). Vegans will not starve either, different salads and herb dishes, but you need to choose, because there is pepper and vinegar (not mine). There are various yogurts and milk in the fridge. The cheeses are different, but I didn't like them, it's just not mine. On the children's table (as it is called, adults were constantly grazing there) there is always boiled chicken, broth, porridges and salads (although everything is tasteless, not salty and not sweet). We didn't like the wine, except for the fish restaurant (you can make an appointment at the reception), the wine is normal there. We went to a fish restaurant, mussels, squid, octopus and something else there (well, not mine), baked salmon is super. The waiter is a young man with glasses named Mili, I admire his work! Two tables for four people and one for six, I managed everything, brought an extra bottle of wine, a delicious dessert and patiently waited for our departure, respect! In general, very young guys and girls work in restaurants and bars, they work well and quickly. The ice cream is delicious, a young woman named Birjan bakes very tasty tortillas right in front of you, you can have salty ones (spinach cheese), you can have sweet ones (chocolate). They took different cocktails at the bar, alcoholic and without (the taste is the same), they did not see drunks, although I was personally struck by one Turkish woman (Turks also come here) who took a cup of vodka (a small one for tea) and a glass of beer (the beer is not bad), just like ours! There are always enough places in the restaurant, we had breakfast outside, and had lunch and dinner inside, there is air conditioning and it is cool. 3. The beach. The beach is good, we read in the reviews that cigarette butts are not cleaned, that wooden paths are in the sand – so this is all a lie, or in our time it has already been eliminated. The beach is constantly cleaned (cleaned in the evening, sun beds are placed and polished). An employee who sits on a rescue tower periodically cleans the paths from sand, corrects the gangplank, scraped the pier stairs from algae twice (so that his feet would not slip). However, his working hours are from 8:00 to 17:00, at other times he is not obliged to save anyone (there is relevant information in three languages). There is access to the water from the shore by sandbags, you can go down from the pier by a ladder (ordinary and very gentle for the elderly). The ladders are comfortable, with wide wooden steps, we used them (mostly). The beach is sandy, the sand is alluvial, the entrance to the sea is pebbles. 4. Animation and entertainment. I can't say anything special here, we didn't use it ourselves (I'm 59, my wife is 54) we love a relaxing holiday. They constantly play volleyball and balls (adults), there are two good ping-pong tables (rackets and a ball are on the table, the net is installed). Sports dancing and contests (by the pool), animators are really athletic girls, dancing – shine! There is a kids' club and an evening show for children, the program is of course repeated, but this is the case everywhere. We saw how a children's animator (like Marina or Irina) walked along the beach and gathered children for classes, it is clear that the children love her, it is generally unclear how this multilingual and age-diverse company communicates, but there is always squeaking, screeching, laughter ... A place is reserved for the club, there they do not interfere with anyone and they are not I can hear it. In short, those who want active entertainment will not be bored (purely my opinion). 5. Security. Safety at height. The territory is small, you can go along the coastline. The coastline stretches along the sea and is accessible to anyone, but the hotel territory is private, everything is easily tracked by bracelets and a little something – a guard (guard) appears who politely asks outsiders to leave. This applies to the pier from which they like to dive, the beach, etc. There are CCTV cameras everywhere, everything is visible. The guard warns and escorts outsiders, nothing more. If a person does not understand, then the guard smiles sweetly and calls a policeman, who quickly appears (from where it is unclear), puts on handcuffs (as it should be) and takes the offender somewhere. Therefore, despite the smiles, never get into arguments with the guards or (God forbid!) with the police, especially in an aggressive style, smile more and ask politely, remember that you are in another country. If anything, there is little hope for our consulate, so the only way out is to behave with dignity. That's about it. I want to tell you about the owner of the hotel separately. This man's name is Aziz Bey (I don't know how to speak Turkish correctly), it seems to me that he is constantly on the territory, in any case, we see him every time we visit. He speaks excellent Russian, is a very attentive and interesting person. There is a museum of objects and cars from the Soviet era (the children are delighted!). There is no language barrier in the hotel (for us), almost everyone speaks Russian. I will not write about the guides, their interest is clear (to sell something more expensive to the client). That's it.

The hotel is very nice. Beautiful mountain views and cozy rooms. Friendly staff, delicious food. There is an entertainment program for adults and children throughout the day. We went for a week, we were delighted with the hotel. Everything is clean and well maintained. There is a private beach and sun beds with an umbrella. Not far from the shopping malls. Of the disadvantages, only a small selection of food. If you come later, something may be missing. And so I recommend a great hotel to everyone.
