We arrived just before dinner, reception very friendly and we were taken to our room. An unprecedented moment for me was when the escort didn't hang around expecting a tip! I really liked that we didn't experience that awkwardness I normally experience upon arrival. (to my delight they have tip boxes around the hotel for you to choose to do so when you please :)) The rooms were clean and fresh, the roomy shower room was the best I have ever used, with a removable shower head and a very powerful rain shower too! The balcony is very small but never wanted to sit there as the entertainment and location were worth experiencing! The view from the balcony though was wonderful, with a view of the pool and paragliders in the air, we were beaming. Went to the bar and got a lovely cold efes to start. We drank gin and vodka in the evenings too (got a bit drunk when we wanted to ha ha, some drinks were stronger than others but we never thought watered down ever). A great choice of very tasty food for lunch and dinner. Repetitive choices which I feel are needed for some people include chips, and pasta. Salad galore, plenty of meat dishes. Chefs cooking and serving a dish or two every meal as well. Breakfast, I felt was the only down side, as the beans are too hard, and the scrambled egg I could not even swallow, but... They cook amazing ommelettes to order as well as fried eggs for toast so we never went hungry and we're very pleased not to feel stuffed for at least one meal ha ha - good to swim! Really nice cream available 3-4pm. Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and mango! All fab! Burgers/chips/chicken nuggets and pasta for snack of you need it - we did a few times :) The pool is a great size, plenty of sunbeds, never not one available - they have some extra piled up if you need one and still space to put one in the sun! Entertainment throughout the day which we took part in when we were there, dart games, waterpolo, volleyball, water aerobics, killer pool, lilo racing, etc. Great entertainers providing the vibe... Shout out to Ebor, Ali, and Sel who do their job brillianlty :) Children looked like they were having an ace time on water slides and there was a kids club too but I don't know the details on that except they always get taken to get their icecreams, as they should first :) Evening main entertainment changes every night. Bingo afterwards a couple of nights and an organised club trip of you want to join. They had acts who came in which blew us away. Felt like watching BGT! African acrobats (our fave) , Latino dancers, a belly dancer, and a magic act to name a few. Olu dinez beach (5-10min walk) is pebbly, but we loved not having to deal with sand. The sea is as clear and torquoise as images show. You only have to walk in about 20ft and a fully grown adult can't touch the floor. We thought it was great as we could watch out belongings with ease. A very short trip to the cable carts to go up the mountain to the bar and grill, watching t
