First of all, I want to note that this hotel surpassed my expectations. After Jaz Elite Asteria, I can say that the service standard here is even better than at the Turkish resorts I've been to. From the moment we stepped into the hotel until checkout, we were surrounded by hospitality and close attention to all our requests.

Let's get straight to my evaluation of the key points:

1) Room, service, cleanliness — 4.8/5

(-0.2 because the water in the shower was sometimes stagnant due to a blockage, but our maintenance guy resolved it every time — big thanks to Mohammed!)

2) Food — an absolute banger for me (I don't eat meat, but don't get me wrong, there was a great variety of meats, so everyone will find something they like). Almost every type of fish: red, white, squid, octopus, and more. An obscene amount of sweets!

3) Beach — the only small caveat. The landscape is such that you'll need to walk about 400 meters down the pier before you hit water that's actually good for swimming and diving. It wasn't an issue for us, though. The water was crystal clear, warm, with that gorgeous turquoise shade, and the sand was spotless.

4) Entertainment team — they really tried their best, and I'm pleased with them overall. Just keep in mind: this hotel is geared toward family vacations, not really the place for a wild, activity-packed trip.

5) Pools — clean, no complaints.

6) A note on the bars — there's no self-service here; they work just like a restaurant. You get a menu, and the waiters give you top-notch, full-service treatment. The menu is just as extensive as in a proper restaurant, not the limited snack-bar type.
