Pros: not far from the sea, the beer in the bar is acceptable, the pool is clean, the guys working in the canteen are quite polite and adequate.
Cons: furniture is falling apart, there is no cleaning in the rooms, plumbing is not working, the TV does not work, there are not enough forks, glasses (if you do not come to the very beginning of lunch, that is, there will be nothing), hot water only from solar panels - at certain hours. There are a lot of cats in the canteen, the dishes are plastic and poorly washed. There is beer, wine, whiskey in the bar (again - no glasses!) the coffee is tasteless in a creepy dirty old coffee machine that they forget to refill regularly. There are three juices to choose from, they are also constantly running out, plus they are made of powder, one dye. They don't give you water, you buy a bottle at a local grocery store and then pour water into it from a cooler in the canteen. The pool is icy, no one swims. There are few sun loungers on the beach, the beach is not marked in any way, which refers to the hotel, the umbrellas are metal and part is broken. Everything is run by a fat, rude Asian woman, a puny, cunning dude at the reception can promise you everything (for example, late eviction), but only she decides.
If you are planning to come here, give up this idea. So many people can't be wrong) this is really the worst thing that can happen on the coast of Turkey)
This is the worst hotel I've ever been to. That's why I decided to write a review to at least warn people against getting nervous in this mess.
We had a vacation here with friends in September 2024. The food is disgusting, you should have seen how the local craftsman throws out half a basin of eggs for frying an omelet for breakfast and the queue for this "piggy"
The food in the photo is a biscuit type of snacks between lunch and dinner, don't hope for more)
In the photo, this is a room that is very tired, towels were used to wash the floors, there is no Internet at all, they ran to the tour seller for Wi-Fi, who turned out to be much friendlier than half of the hotel staff, of course, you can buy a SIM card, but it seems to indicate everything is on, the TV does not work either, the air conditioner at least worked.
Lunch and dinner, of course, you will not be hungry, because of alcohol, beer, which sometimes runs out, and wine, which may then make you want to run to the nearest toilet as soon as possible - therefore, do not even try it before the trip.
The plastic cups we brought with us helped a lot - there were very few dishes there.
The beach is a different story - they have two hotels, very small
If we consider the price-quality ratio, then, of course, it will work. A wonderful Russian-speaking manager at the reception, who always helped, it's a pity that she didn't ask for the name. The guys from the restaurant are also very friendly and nimble, the choice on the buffet is not great, but everything was always fresh and delicious. It's a little dirty in places. Room cleaning is only on request and not on the same day.) But these are all small things. If you are used to luxury holidays and want to spend a lot of time at the hotel, then Ares is definitely not for you. =)
