The grounds are wonderfully green, with quiet little spots where you can get some privacy. The location is excellent: close to the beach, attractions, boats, and a water park about a 10-minute walk away. There are lots of cafes with different cuisines and prices, shops at resort prices, of course, and tour desks. Cholpon-Ata is 8 km away, while Bosteri is within walking distance and has a market. Local taxis wait at the parking area, which is a five-minute walk from the hotel. The cottage rooms are spacious and well equipped, and each has a balcony, some even have two. There's no air conditioning. In peak season, trees or ivy in front of the windows provide shade and help keep the heat down. The dense construction can make it quite noisy then, with music from nearby cafes playing all night. There are plenty of other advantages, but families should keep this in mind.

The food was awful. The hostess cooks alongside the cooks, and the portions were shocking: one ladle of soup, one chicken for the main course, and even that was only one spoonful. The pilaf was completely raw, and there were just two forks for the salad. I absolutely don't recommend it.

It's in the tourist center, with a very cozy interior and an excellent hostess.

The discos are fun, and there's live music!!!!!
