TL;DR
Budget 3-star hotels in Turkey typically offer 'seaside' rooms split into full sea view (front-facing rooms in buildings 1–2) and partial sea view (side-facing rooms overlooking the pool or empty land). Check which sub-category you're booking.
The 'seaside' room category is not uniform: front-facing rooms in buildings 1 and 2 offer a direct sea view, while side-facing rooms only have a partial view — one side may overlook the pool, the other a vacant lot or new construction (e.g. a third building). Always confirm the exact sub-category when booking.
The hotel sits on the beachfront with a good beach and sea. For a 3-star property in its price range, the value is solid. Entertainment/animation is available. A good fit for budget travelers who just want a sea holiday without high expectations.
This is the cheapest option in the area. Food is acceptable with no reported food poisoning, accommodation is basic but functional. Nightlife and staff are a plus, and the sea itself is great. The main downside is a poor sea entry — but this applies to the whole village, not just this hotel. Those with a bigger budget should look at other properties.
