Hi Jane
We were there at beginning of April, had a good time as a family holiday. As we were there early season they were just changing from winter to summer activites, so water park open a few days into holiday, beach wasnt ready. The hotel is nice, very very clean. Whilst we were there there was some football teams and a conferance of Turkish doctors (and their families) We found the latter to be very rude, push in , take clean plates off my kids in the buffett, and expect to be waited on hand and foot. So those few days the holiday makers took second place.. The buffet was small, compared to othe AI we have been too.
There is a fridge in the room, with water, coke, fanta and couple bottles of beer (and opener!) We also had a kettle with tea and coffee left in our room after a couple of days. We had a duplex room, which was excellent. It allowed the children (and adults !) to have their own space...
It is good as you have the Kremlin hotel next door and can use their facilities, we preffered the outdoor pool there.
In october things start to change again from Summer to winter.. So all facilities might not be open.
Thanks
