The hotel is excellent: rooms are good (at least bungalows, which were some of the last to be renovated), the area is bombastic green, the beach is clean, the sea is very clean and despite October it was still very warm (perhaps the biggest pleasant surprise), children's towns, hammocks, swings. It was our first time in a hotel with a stable, a 24-hour fully-functional restaurant, and show program that surprised every day (it is repeated only once every 14 days and includes only guest artists: Todes, circuses, motorcyclists, etc.). No one, as some complain in comments, needs to be extra paid for anything, tips are voluntary. Extra room items, 24-hour coffee in the bar, refillable in-room minibar, beach towels change, bottled water etc. – everything is unlimited, included and there was no problem with anything. I don't fully understand those comments on the lack of food: every day there are at least two kinds of grilled fish, lots of vegetables and fruits, Turkish sweets every time, always french fries, pizza, Turkish and other bagels for young picky eaters. During the day, right at the beach, unlimited fruits, ice cream, waffles, fries and hot dogs are waiting for you. We visited three a la carte restaurants. Two of them were free of charge (4 free restaurants all in all, and only once a week), and the other was a prepayment fish one. The last one at the seaside we liked most of all, the Turkish one (on the lawn) was also of a good level, the Mexican we liked little less. Yes, food is constantly repeated, and you can only find huge shrimps and all sorts of seafood in the prepaid a la carte, but during your stay you never get tired of variety of the main table, which is much larger than at home. In case of birthday, the hotel provides you with a birthday cake with a candle, no matter where you have your dinner (you have to inform Guest Relation Service in advance). - The hotel shares its area with the Sunrise Hotel, and everyone can use both properties. There's a train, travelling through the territory, stopping about once every half hour at each stop. But kids jump into it on the move. By the way, actively and by foot, we could reach quickly any point of both hotels, although at first glance the territory may seem vast. - We made our own way to the greenhouses. There's nothing outstanding about them, but they are nice, and there was a gardener on the spot, he tried to talk about his plants (suits us better than joining hotel tour). - Pools are beautiful, in October they were cold, for some reason only Starlight pools don’t have a chlorine smell, and there is no heated pool. - Waterpark is not extreme, but excellent, for all ages: a cute sand pool for babies, a "king of the mountain" ball for teenagers, the scariest slide-toilet:) and others. - There is a high-level spa center, with many chill-out zones, hammam of no charge. - There is a be-paid-for water sports center on the beach. Jet ski, banana, pill, ski, motorcycle, windsurfing. We only tried parachute. The only unpleasant impression came from here. Fed-up, not-so-welcome beach dealers who gave almost equal price for both videos-photos and the flight itself, not letting us to take at least one our own picture to remember. Anyway, we were not ready for that and denied to buy photo services. - At the beach there's also a small river with a bridge. It is clean, no smell, no mosquitoes. - There's also a pier with sunbeds and stairs to the deep sea. You can snorkel under it, especially if you have some bread for the fish with you. - All promised animals were found onsite: a hedgehog, a turtle, peacocks (including albinos), ducks, river fish, crabs, rooster and chickens, cats. - The stable has nine horses and a nice horse keeper. Fee-based. My sister-in-law was excited that, instead of her usual once a week training, she was able to practice every other day. She practiced show jumping for the first time there) Three of us took a two-hour ride to the beach. Harshness of the village we passed through to get to the seaside was a bit depressing. But riding on horseback through sea waves makes it worth enduring. - Pleasant yoga classes (again, if not expect professional trainers, but enjoy morning practice outdoors or night meditation on the sea pier). - Also included: water polo, fitness center, cross-fit, stretching, face yoga, pilates, chess (floor-type), bocce, water gymnastics (including with exercise equipment, but there are so many those wishing to, you need to come in advance whenever equipment is used), beach volleyball, darts, table tennis, tabata in place of aerobics. We haven't made it to mini-football and basketball. There's also an extra-pay mini-golf. As for disadvantages, I only want to complain about animation chart. Lists of activities differ everywhere, some don't match the time. Of the stated here and there a cinema, a skating ring, squash, foam parties, pool games, dancing, including club-dance, kangoo jumps, cardio, tibet, archery, skating, badminton and canoeing are missing, although some of the listed are on the schedule. No one comes to cross-fit because coach doesn't invite anyone and seems to hide. The Play Station Teenage Club is not open at all (apparently due to lack of popularity among teenagers), and the rock-climbing wall is closed. Our teenagers weren't rushing in, and we don't really need all these activities, but it is better to take anything irrelevant off the schedule and to warn about the closed ones. Otherwise, one spends some of his priceless vacation time trying to figure out what works and what doesn't (because you want to try everything available). Teenage club’s location is even hard to be found (and in the end it is useless). Same thing with the play center of the main building (pool, gaming machines, etc.). A Guest Relation lady informed us some activities are included, but it wasn't so. The same lady said that the hotel service application (called Guestranet) had never been launched. However, when I addressed reception through Guestranet, my request was processed. But on the whole the app is really dead. Water park slides for adults are open between 12 and 4 pm, being located at the far end of the hotel - all such information should be compiled in one brochure so that there are no unreasonable expectations. In general, negative side is following: there is lack of an updated schedule and of informing guests on all the entertainment and everything to enjoy “all inclusive”. Tip: go straight to animation team and ask what is relevant and what is not, don't trust beautiful posters. Also, it turned out to be funny that despite the fact that this hotel unusually states it “does not check in men unaccompanied by women”, entire football teams (within a business-cup) and also Turkish male officials (within a huge team retreat) checked in at one time. And yes, companies come to the meetings. But personally, they didn't bother us any more than other guests. Closure. We love intimate type of vacation, and we didn’t buy all-inclusive in a while. We’d been a little bit afraid of crowding, but wanted to go to such an entertainment-oriented hotel because of the kids. As a result, the scope of Starlight pleasures outweighed the crowding - we didn't have time to notice others. Have a nice trip! :)) Oleg and Liza P.S. Please pass this request on to the management! The hotel possesses a lot of tennis-courts, the outermost being a bit abandoned. They could serve a great pasture area for your horses! Your stable with wonderful horse keeper is what we and many others choose this hotel for. Horses only have a training area, and the court that directly borders this training area is already overgrown - it would be a great grassland, tasty and to be cut down by animals. There is only city infrastructure and all those courts around – find some more places for your horses to walk, show even more humane attitude towards them. Thank you!
