  : The hotel is three star hotel and the price and the services are accordingly. Still, I could compare it with some 4-star hotels in Turkey I have been.Its location is very good plus - only 100 m to the beach, where a nice bar and restaurant offer beds and umbrellas. There is also a public beach around, for everybody's choice. Some people have complained on the quality of the beach and the sea - I can only say - don't miss the early morning swimming - the water until 10 AM and in the afternoon are completely different stories. Just next to the hotel there is Taxi Hub, in case you want to have it immediately and still to negotiate the price. The hotel is far away from the City Center and on the other side from the airport, but it is still very convenient to come and go, as you only need to use the Tram Nr. 1 and few buses afterwards (VS18 is the fastest option). The bus stop is at 100 m and just next to it there are few shops, few traditional and very good food restaurants with 'normal' prices and few nice coffee and ice-cream places. The similar places at the beach are more fancy, but also with few times more expensive prices for the food and drinks.I got a double room with an extra bed, which helped me to have all my things around. There was a small, but very good working fridge, which is perfect to keep your drinks always cold. The most beautiful feature I had was the small, but perfectly positioned balcony. It looked towards the street (a sort of small boulevard) with nice palm trees exactly on the same height, just a couple meters of me (I had a room on the second floor, very close to the elevator). It also looked towards the sea, having the sun perfectly shining in the mornings, only up to about 11 AM, being in a shade the whole day afterwards. Therefore, it was perfect to sit there every part of the day (and night).
  : The breakfast was typical for 3-stars hotel standard in Turkey. It was completely the same and I am sure if you stay more days you would be boring. It can improve with small changes and varieties, at least of those few things that they cook in the kitchen. There were lots of comments about the internet quality and I also faced some small cuts, but in general it was still very functional, especially as there are different signals at different places. I would like to end my review with something positive - I didn't have place for it in the previous section: It is the hospitality of the staff, especially those at the reception. I come about 11 AM and my room was ready so I could be at the beach in 10 minutes. I was also enable to use their services at my departure day. And finally - a big plus for the nice, green or orange huge beach towels, which were very useful at the sun beds.
