The hotel is small, compact, and everything is close by. There are plenty of bars where you can order decent cocktails. The waiters and bartenders really put in a great effort. I especially liked a waiter/bartender named Ercan. He is an open, bright guy who always smiles, handles any order with ease, and brings the cocktails quickly. He is a truly open, bright person, and I really liked him—he lifted our spirits every single day.

As for the rooms, I would love to see them slightly renovated and brought into better condition. Visually, when you first walk in, it looks very nice, but there is some rust in places, mildew, broken glass, and damaged beds. This puts a bit of a minus on the stay, but everything else largely makes up for it.

As people often mention, the hotel lacked some animation, but perhaps not so much animation as background music playing softly inside the hotel, in the lobby, or by the pool while you are having breakfast or lunch. Everything else was great, but a little light, live music in the lobby would have been a nice touch.

really loved the beach entertainment concept, the stage, and the shows. It created a very atmospheric vibe. We also loved the Oktoberfest celebration since we happened to stay during that period in September–October.

The food on the beach is exceptionally good—a special thank you for the grill and the gozleme flatbreads. It was all so delicious. We specifically walked down to the beach for lunch, looked forward to the woman making them, and the guys prepared amazing shawarma and grilled fish. The food is extremely tasty, thank you so much!"
