We rested for 14 days in this hotel, lived in a building where there is no elevator, going up to the 3rd floor is another quest, it's very difficult. The food is normal, but I wanted more variety, clean linen. But the beach is a separate topic. For 2 weeks, I didn't clean up, a huge pile of algae, the caretaker was very rude, didn't clean anything, threw sun beds to the Russians with anger, I had to complain about this mess to the manager, on the last day of departure the beach was cleaned, and the caretaker was fired.Another disadvantage was that they demanded $ 20 to weigh the luggage, after the scandal they weighed it for free.
I felt good there. But it's lonely. I came alone, hoping to meet some yachtsman, I thought maybe someone would come from Britain from beautiful actors. Because I think interesting people should love clean seas, a beach by the sea, a hotel where the rooms smell great. And it was possible to meet me. However, there were no yachtsmen in May. Turks are boring in this regard. The yachts were standing, I was swimming. In the beautifully clear water of the sea, it is like in the Baltic Sea. It's hot outside, and the water is getting cold. And I'll remember that forever. It is indescribably interesting. I would love to meet Andrew there, BK, my favorite artists. But... they weren't there. And what evenings by the beautiful pool. It's sparsely populated. Wonderful desserts, music, my number. Everything was covered in wood, marble and with a wonderful aroma, and birds sang, and the sea splashed at our feet when leaving the hotel..
The trip is from 09/19/24 to 09/26/24.
We were brought to the hotel by transfer at about 12:30.
They did not speak Russian at the reception. There were no Russian speakers at all in the hotel.
The only people who spoke a little Russian were the people who sold SPA services and invited them to sail yachts (boats) on the sea.
We were informed that check-in is at 14:00, so we were asked to wait.
Wi-Fi is very bad. Maybe load a couple of pages, but mostly there were difficulties. If you want to work, it's impossible.
Meal.
Lunch starts at 12 o'clock, so while we were waiting, we went to the hotel restaurant.
The food is ordinary. There were always salads, mashed soups (new every day), side dishes and necessarily chicken or fish (on the last day of our stay, fish was generally fried in the restaurant).
For breakfast, eggs (boiled and those that were fried right in front of you), a lot of different breads, cheeses, butter. There was also porridge. And if anyone wanted cereal, then they were present in large quantities.
If something was running out, they immediately brought more.
Also, in any amount of tea, coffee in vending machines, at the bar, you could ask for soda or alcoholic beverages.
Breakfast is served from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Lunch is served from 12 to 14 o'clock.
From 14 to 17, a snack (you can eat French fries and a hamburger, they do it with you).
From 17 to 18, a break for tea or coffee (sweets were brought)
From 19 to 21 dinner.
Night soup from 22 to 23.
If you want to eat, there will always be food.
Number.
We were accommodated in a room on the second floor. The room is tired. It's obvious, but we didn't have anything broken.
Wi-Fi did not reach there anymore. We had a view from the room to the market where they sell souvenirs. There were several cafes where music was playing loudly, but at 12 o'clock in the morning everything was already silent. It was possible to close the balcony and turn down the volume.
The room had air conditioning, beds, a very small refrigerator (there is no question about any mini-bar, there were three bottles of water and two more were given when cleaning).
A table on which there was a small TV (we did not use it, since there were 5 channels and everything was in Turkish, plus the antenna did not catch well, apparently).
The mirror above the table. Big.
There was a closet in a small hallway, and a safe at the very bottom (a small one, they give a key to it at the reception when you pay the deposit).
The bathroom has a shower stall (there was no handle inside), a sink, a toilet, a large mirror.
There were liquid soap dispensers in the stall and next to the sink.
There were no ropes where you can hang clothes to dry, we bought them ourselves.
Swimming pool.
It looks small in the photos, but there is a lot of space in it. You can swim freely.
There are few sun beds. They are occupied from the very morning and you can catch a free one only in the evening, when everyone starts to disperse.
Sea.
The beach is 30 seconds away from the hotel. You walk out of the gate, take three steps and you're already on the beach. Dogs do sleep, but they don't touch anyone. They are thick, and their skins are thick, so they just sleep. There are few feces. I haven't seen it on the beach at all. But there are a lot of cigarettes, although there are trash cans. There is already a question for people.
You can go into the sea on the rocks, so you definitely need to take your slippers with you. When we were there, the sea was cool. There are few fish.
We worked out a strategy, first we took a dip in our pool, swam there for a while, and then went to the sea. The approach is fast and it is not cold at all. There are cabins at the exit (with a toilet and where you can wash your feet after the sand). The hotel also has a place at the entrance where you can wash your feet or rinse off with salt water.
A small Migros shop is 10 minutes from the hotel. You can buy food there (a regular supermarket).
There is a huge market near the hotel. And souvenirs and clothes and shoes. In general, everything is there. However, they accept lira (in 2 stores they agreed to exchange dollars for lira).
Bargain, they love it.
There is a bus stop about 15 minutes away, from where you can go to Bodrum itself. You need to tell the driver where you are going so that he tells you the price.
Overall, we were satisfied with our stay at this hotel. If you can't live without hanging out, then the hotel is not for you. It is rather for the elderly, who made up 80 percent of the guests. There was an animation once in my memory. Girls and boys were dancing.
The music plays all day, it is interrupted only when prayer is going on (it works loudly from the speaker).
There are a lot of cats and dogs. Dogs rarely entered the hotel, but the seals were constantly running back and forth.
Positive:
- Convenient location of the hotel, the very center: there are any supermarkets, cafes, it is very convenient to get from here to Bodrum
- Gorgeous view of the islands, clear sea, nice beach
- Friendly staff who really try to please. Everyone is very friendly.
- Spacious rooms, plenty of space.
- Not a bad kitchen, it's different every day, there are plenty of confectionery, there's even something delicious
Cons:
- Well, of course, there is no question of any 4 stars. 3 - well, maybe. The hotel was really once tried to improve, good plumbing and furniture (it used to be), mattresses. But it was all a very, very long time ago. Everything is old and dilapidated, a lot of joints in the decoration, many have been redone, but with a blunder. A huge disadvantage is that it is very noisy here. The guests and staff of the hotel completely forgot that people come here, including to RELAX, so it is very noisy everywhere in the corridors and on the street, everyone is shouting at the top of their voice both at night and during the day. The music rumbles after midnight, although it seems like it should turn off at 23.00. By the way, the music is disgusting: either Turkish howls or an old Russian bandstand. The entrance doors and walls are made of cardboard, you can hear everything around. And there is also a mosque nearby, which daily calls everyone to worship through a megaphone at 5 a.m. You are definitely not here for relaxation. Either be prepared for the fact that there will be round-the-clock noise, or sleep in earplugs (they do not save you from calling to the temple at 5 a.m., you will definitely jump through sleep, without options).
The staff does not speak Russian at all, keep this in mind.
There is no entertainment on the territory, except for thundering music, so there is nothing to evaluate here.
There is no Internet, at most you can hardly write something in WhatsApp.
There are a lot of dogs on the beach, they are very arrogant - if they decide to lie down next to you, you will not move the gun. In general, there are plenty of them everywhere in this direction. It may be critical for someone.
Overall impression: in general, if you came here for a penny, then the level is appropriate, for your money it's quite good. If you are ready to put up with the disadvantages, you are welcome. The rest
We stopped by on August 10 for 8 nights, the tour came out 167,000 rubles for two.
Positive
1. There are good places on the beach (but they are far from the hotel itself and then small islands)
This is where the advantages end
Minuses
1. The rooms are just tin (I'm attaching a photo), forget what shampoo and shower gel are in the hotel. Half of the electrical appliances just don't work.
2. The beach is not its own, but is simply located across the street on a public one, in total 20 sunbeds that are occupied from morning to evening. There are a lot of algae lying all along the beach, which stink like hell
3. The entrance to the water is 4 meters, we stomp on the pebbles., then you may meet sand (as I wrote, you need to find islands with sand in the water on neighboring beaches)
4. Internet - it is only on the 1st floor and it is really only enough to write something in Whatsapp, for an additional fee, it is not even in the room
5. There are no Russian-speaking staff
6. The dining room is the cherry on the cake, for any meal, several types of cheese are simply cut for the entire tray, a bunch of vegetables and pickles, classic side dishes (rice, pasta and potatoes), it's all savoring flies right in front of you, there are not enough tables for all the guests - well done
To sum up, how would someone come to a boarding house in the Moscow region, but everyone there completely forgot the Russian language. 4 stars are too much, 2 of them were definitely stolen from somewhere
We liked everything, the room, the food and the service, the beach and the pool...
September 20-31, 23. 1510 dollars from Vnukovo for 2 adults 1 child 10 years old, by Turkish airlines.
The room is small but clean, everything worked. Change of towels on request, bed linen 1 time a week, cleaning every day.
There is practically no territory, but the hotel is on the first line in the center of evening life, there is a place to go... There is no animation. The music is very calm and not loud, it does not interfere.
The beach is 20 meters across the promenade, large cobblestones, but you pass a hundred meters to the right and sand. The pool is 1.5 meters deep.
No one speaks Russian, the guests are Turks, Czechs, Poles, Germans, Italians...
The food is solid 4, there are no lobsters and mutton ...))) Beer, rake, vodka, gin, it's all inclusive.
In general, without frills, but inexpensive for this region and very civilized.
For Russians! The cards don't work. In banks, the exchange starts from $ 400. The street changed course a little worse for a couple of lira. Uncritical.
We rested in it in August 2023. The place is gorgeous, the hotel itself is very worn out, the rooms are 3 with a minus, the food is without frills, but very satisfying, the staff in the restaurant is trying very hard. There were plenty of sun beds on the beach and by the pool, the sea is wonderful, but cool. No one speaks Russian, mostly Europeans and Turks rest. We were generally satisfied with the rest, the main thing is the sea, the sun and wonderful places.
A wonderful hotel. Great location, the staff is very friendly, the kitchen - well, everything was delicious and varied! The sea is 5 meters away, the views are amazing. We really liked it. The only negative is loud music at night in bars on the street, at first you can't sleep, but then you get used to it) - but that's because the room was overlooking this noisy street, in other rooms it's probably normal) We had a great rest
We stayed at the hotel for 7 nights. It is located on the first line of the sea. The view is gorgeous. The access to the sea is rocky, tolerable. 5% of Russians, mostly Turks themselves are on vacation. Every 2 days there is animation, dancing. Music by the pool from 9 a.m. until late at night. The staff is friendly. Cleaning every day - the main thing is to hang a sign. Towel to the beach according to the spa card, the main thing is to pay the deposit at the reception and change the towel to the card every evening and back in the morning - they give out a clean one. The sauna is 40 degrees, the hammam, if asked, will be like a sauna of 60 degrees. It is better to take the hotel through Anex tour, you will be taken once for free by transfer to the leather factory store for shopping and back to the hotel. We rode back on the Maybach) we are delighted. The food is served mainly Kura in different variations. In the morning from 9 to 10 omelets. Coffee, tea, soda. The shower is working fine, the beds are comfortable. Nearby there are shops, an exchange (where they sell tours on boats and to the water park), walk at night as much as you want. You can go to the club with a company - the guide goes and invites you. In general, a three-plus, but if you need a clean sea, you are here) 7 days is enough, then groundhog day))) it's good with the children, take earplugs, who is not calm with sleep, the mosque forgets from five in the morning, I didn't pass out, the neighbors are talking loudly! Have a nice vacation! Don't listen to anyone, feel the atmosphere of relaxation yourself. Everything is great!!!

HAPPY AND CONTENTED MOM!!!
Somehow my mom and I decided to go to the sea to relax.I've been to Turkey many times already, but my mother didn't happen to be there.The arrival was successful, we flew with Turkish airlines.The staff on the plane is very polite, everything went well.Upon arrival, we were taken to the yelken mandalincy hotel.They were not placed so quickly, because there were a lot of tourists.But nothing, after waiting for our turn, we were taken to a room.The room was normal, the air conditioner was working, two separate beds, an armchair, a safe, a refrigerator, 2 bottles of water in the refrigerator.The shower room is large, there is a hairdryer.True, the water in the shower went away with difficulty, but for us it seemed like a very small thing.The territory of the hotel is small, there is a playground for children, a very clean swimming pool.The staff at the hotel and in the bar are very polite, the guys are all smiling, they work quickly and in an organized manner.There was no feeling of being looked into your mouth, the dishes were cleaned quickly.As for the food, we had enough.There were meat and fish, salads, pickles, apples, oranges, watermelons.Sometimes they gave grapes.Alcoholic beverages included white and red wine, vodka.My mother and I liked the white wine.The beach is a stone's throw from the hotel, I specially chose such a hotel for my mother.When we first came to the beach, we were quickly accommodated by a beach employee, quickly laid out sun beds for us, brought mattresses, he also works on site.A very good man does everything quickly and silently.Well done!!But in the days that followed, another employee worked, who only grumbled and did nothing.But no one could spoil our good mood and all these are trifles compared to the sea, the sun and everything else combined! The cleaning was also carried out by smiling, kind boys.In general, the hotel staff is very polite, despite the heat.The guys at the bar are also polite, they do everything quickly, well done!!! I would also like to thank the spa employee Ali, who offers massage,foam massage, face masks.I was doing massages for myself and my mom.The massage was done by a girl named Ussa.The massage was done from head to toe.I had problem areas and Ussa massaged them thoroughly.I began to feel very good.In general, if you go to Turkey for a vacation, you definitely need to do a massage, which I always do.Then you come from there full of strength and energy.Although the weather is hot, the breeze blows in the evening and it's so good.You lie by the pool and relax.Several times a dance show was organized for us, boys and girls danced.There was belly dancing once.A singer was invited, he sang to the guitar.When there was belly dancing, it was a Turkish evening, on this day we were given Turkish sweets, Turkish food.In general, the rest turned out to be great.The hotel is very good, the hotel administration does everything for the customers so that our vacation will be unforgettable.There are people who don't like the hotel, but these are their personal problems.And for us, the little things are unimportant and that's why everything is fine with us! I highly recommend this hotel, especially if you have elderly parents.
Photo of a tourist at the hotel
I have been vacationing there since 15.06 with my family. I was very satisfied, like at home! The staff is very friendly, any questions were solved at once, although they do not speak Russian at all, except for the guide from the operator (a good girl). Sign language, Google translator, broken English to help)))) there is a place to walk, and you can take a bus to the shopping center, for a change, to shop. The bus cost 20 lire per person. Wherever you look, it's beautiful! The food is normal, they got fat again))) there is a gym, but the shells are useless, I use only the room, the hammam is free, I liked it. Massage is paid. And most importantly, take a good mood with you! And there are a lot of cats there, but we love them, and dogs. They are peaceful) the entry into the sea is good, at first the stones are not sharp, then the sand is a bonus, after the stones, the water is clean, transparent, blue!
In the month of May 2023 we rested at this hotel, we really liked everything and the room is clean and the staff is very polite and the hotel is located near the sea. I recommend
Nice hotel. The rooms are really not very good . The beach is of average quality. The pool is good, there is a children's area.Friendly staff. Good wine and raki are very tasty.
Good hotel,4-star,good,varied food,excellent location,helpful staff, there are interruptions with hot water, but not critical. Overall, the rest was wonderful
A great resort. A resort for aborigines. There are few Russians. Communication in English, Turkish or...........
" Sign language" has not been canceled!!!!!
The food is excellent. "Drinks" from 10 o'clock to....The sea is super...Hotel...Normal!!!! There are problems....But.....where they are not,???
Everything is solvable, the main thing is patience and respect!!!! Wishing with desire
there!!!!!!
Horror, first impression. It all started with the road from the Airport, we drove for 5 hours, traffic jams in Bodrum were 10 balls, we arrived at 23.00, no one subdued us, although we are not to blame, no one cares. We checked into a room where there was no repair for centuries, mold on the ceiling, the faucet is broken in the toilet, the water does not go out in the shower, in general, we wrote a claim to the tour operator, for such money we do not intend to stay here, the next day we gave another one with windows on Broadway with cafes and a mosque within walking distance, woke up at 5 a.m. under prayer. Those who write good reviews are either paid or have not traveled further than their village. The food is very poor, but you will not stay hungry. The sun beds have been packed since 7 a.m. They save on everything. The linen should be changed in 2 days, but probably not for us, on the 5th day she kindly asked to change everything, left a tip and went happy. We come, only the pillowcases were changed, everything else was beautifully tucked in and folded, changed with a scandal. I came to rest, not to waste time on constant disassembly. One plus, the sea is very close. The sweetest and most positive person was Ali from the hamam, we never went to him, but his attitude towards us did not change. I do not recommend this hotel!
I don't understand those who praise the hotel, the room will be given as the card will fit, for Russian tourists it is usually worse than for Turks. We were given a room in the basement , the penultimate 2 photos are a gorgeous view from the window. At the reception, they spread their hands, all the rooms are occupied, there is no place to overpower. The room stinks of mold . I am attaching visual photos from the shower. You're trashing here, comrades, you don't need to come here, the money is not small, but it's not 4 stars, you can't give 2 stars for all this!!! I attached another photo of a dirty headboard , it's scary even to sleep here…
The location of the hotel is very good. Right on 10 points. All other meals, rooms, 3 stars. I do not recommend going with children. There are many restaurants nearby. You can rent a nice yacht.
They give one card per room after 11. the bar is paid for dogs and cats walk on the territory of the hotel, the numbered windows overlook a busy street, and the most important problem is that the access to the sea is all in stones (pebbles)
They placed me on arrival outside the territory in an apartment hotel, where the room stank and the toilet did not work, they said they would give me another room tomorrow, I arrived at 10 a.m.I had to spend the night in this shithole.The next day I went to ask where my room was, I said I would not leave until I was settled on the territory.The staff does not understand Russian, only Google.At 12 o'clock they gave a modest room on the ground floor, everything was old, in the room, by the evening the drain tank was not working, there was a puddle below.I run to the reception, they promised to do it, but no one came.I was putting towels on, just like the janitor did.On day 4, feces came out from under the toilet bowl.The staff was inactive, they fed me with promises, I jumped out into the street at night because of the stench.I began to write to the guides, they said write a claim, in the morning I made a scandal at the reception.The staff even understands that if they had made repairs, the shit wouldn't have come out from under the toilet.Of course, I should have written a claim right away, then they would have started moving.Two days before departure, they gave me another room.I don't recommend it to anyone.The beach is dirty, the sea is full of algae.Entrance with stones, you'll break your legs.Huge alabai lie next to the sun beds.There are no mattresses.The pool is a paddling pool.There are a lot of Turks.It seems that good rooms are only for them and for those who have prepared financially...
We had a rest on 25.09-2.10 with a family of 2 adults and a child of 4 years old. They put us in a 2-room room 1027, the Windows of which looked out onto a quiet street 7069. (without restaurants and bars). The repair shop in the room is of course "sticky", but you stop paying attention to it almost immediately. The view from the window to the roof of the restaurant also did not spoil the pleasure of the rest. The pool is not deep 150 cm "adult" and 40 cm "children's", but thanks to this, it was already warming up to a comfortable temperature by lunch. It was windy for a couple of days and therefore we went to the city beach (along the embankment to the right to the la blache hotel, there is a cove closed from the waves and with a sandy sloping bottom). The staff is friendly, but almost no one knows Russian. There are a lot of Turks among the vacationers. It seemed that turgutreis is their local Anapa :) The room was cleaned 3 times a week, the towels in the room were changed every day. The food is typical Turkish, but not too varied (the end of the season affects). Result:I really enjoyed the rest, and this is due to the hotel and its location.
We stayed at this hotel in mid-September 2021. We were going to admire the Aegean Sea. Everything around the hotel is a pleasure. About the hotel: sometimes the waiters' too thoughtless efforts irritated: to remove the appliances, plates with food, queue for drinks and other things. The room faced a very noisy street in the evening, although it did not bother. The holiday with the anniversary celebration was wonderful, but not thanks to the hotel staff. But evening views - they compensate for any roughness.

The first two days were very sad. We were given a room on the first basement floor, almost no light came into the room. Because of the terrible dampness, there was simply no ventilation in the bathroom. It was impossible to stay in the room, the smell was unventilated. Two days later, they were moved to a normal room. By contrast, the mood soared, all the disadvantages were neutralized.
The food is average, there are not enough fish, the salads are strange, the fruits are normal. I was surprised that the baklava is not bad (even in hotels with a hard quarter it is not like that).
The water in the sea is beautiful, the beach is full of bulls. But the staff cleaned it up.
Summary: an average hotel, not super, but it will do for active people if you do not plan to sit in it for the whole vacation. The village center is nearby, and Bodrum is 40-50 minutes away by bus.
I liked it: proximity to the city, food, cleaning.
I didn't like it: the windows of one of the buildings overlook the street with bars. It is quiet in the afternoon and evening, there is soft music. But after midnight, it is turned on so loudly that it is impossible to sleep even in the bathroom. It seems that the owners are gathering all the sleepers from all over the city. The hotel administration is in no hurry to call the police. We couldn't sleep and walked along the embankment, there was no such noise anywhere. However, you do not pass through the whole night, and it is deserted there after one o'clock in the morning, dogs run only and rare passers-by local men. The rooms of this building are redeemed by Russian tour operators, I would venture to assume that with a big discount. Poles, Germans, etc. they live in other buildings. Our compatriots suffer inconveniences.
