Recommended for:
- its location - very close to city center, sandy and free public beach, many shops, restaurants and bars; there is a caraoke bar closeby and many tour operators offer free pick ups by hotel to go to fun trips,
- its staff at the bar/ pool area - these folks are super nice and friendly, they make sure the area is clean at all times and that you do not drink warm drinks,
- onsite Turkish bath - nice experience, but the staff is to much sometimes, walking around the pool area and getting people in.
BIG DOWNSIDES:
- you can forget about beeing connected with the world, their wifi does not work no matter where you are in the hotel; second network password is given to the chosen peope only - especially the ones, who make a lot of fuss,
- rooms are sort of ok, but we did not get our soap replaced for 10 days (!),
- their paid rocky beach is not worth the money; in 15 min walk towards center, you will find a nice and sandy beach,
- older guy at reception desk pretending to speak some German has some attitude, right at arrival made us feel not that welcome :(,
- food gets really boring after a few day, same meals are getting re-made (!) at times and there is barely any fish not mentioning seafood,
- swimming pool closes at 6 pm, which is a pity and there is no loud music allowed there as this is stricktly controlled by the management,
- if you are alergic to cats, forget it - many cats walking freely around the pool area and awaiting food scraps near the restaurant,
- no iron available, only ironing service for extra, and much overprized, charge of course.
So, if you do not want to spend lots of money and are open to eating out and spending more time outside of the hotel, go for it!

Our family + - experience
We were on holiday with our 1.5 year old child and this hotel is recommended for families but we can't say same! The hotel's outdoor area is small and small children can't walk alone unless you want them to fell into the pool. In the secluded corner behind the hotel was a really old playground that couldn’t even be used. In the hotel lobby, one employee woman was really rude. Pushed to buy a safebox for the holiday because "it's only 14 euros for a week" We didn't take a safebox so she just blurt that the hotel wouldn't replace your lost items. A few days later, she asked us to the front desk and took a bed sheet from the bag and said we had ruined their sheet. There was something dark on the sheet that hadn’t left for washing and she wanted us to pay 10 euros in compensation. We didn’t know where the darkening had come from, maybe the slippers of a small child. We argued for a moment with the woman when she said this is not her problem we have to pay. In the end, she called ahead and the answer was that they would try to wash the sheet again and if the sheet did not clean then we would have to pay. A day later another woman asked us at the reception and said that the sheet is not clean and they give us a discount but we have to pay 8 euros. We paid. When we were going to the pool area and we had our own towels brought from home, the woman immediately attacked us to see if the towels were from hotel, you were not allowed to take them to the pool. The head of the restaurant hall was also horrible. He ran all the other waiters and argued with one employee. We were at the next table when the restaurant manager rebuked the employee in front of all the other employees and customers and drove the employee out. The way he treated the waiters was horrible to look at! We never want to support this kind of mistreatment and humiliation of employees! After all that, he presented her clients with "I'm such a best friend" -awful.
The soundproofing is really bad, you can hear others talking about the room and the hallways and the cars on the big road are really loud.
The waiters were nice, friendly and helpful. The cleaners were also lovely and friendly The chef was also wonderful!
Food was ok and changed every day. No fruits at all... And the "cake time" was ridiculous. The range of alcoholic beverages was really narrow. They couldn’t make any all inclusive cocktails themselves, they didnt know any cocktails.
The hotel had only one high chair for a small child.
I don't think we'll come to this hotel again with the kids or even with out kids.
Cool !!! ;)
This hotel is for younger people, no children, there is no animation program. I was here with a friend and we enjoyed it very much. Not far from the hotel there is a promenade where there are discos, bars, shops, 100% entertainment. The beach is across the road from the hotel, it's a great location. The food is good, everyone has something to choose from. Meat every day, lots of vegetables, desserts. The service is very nice, they help with everything, no problems. The pool bar is great, but the alcohol is not 100% alcohol. The pool is beautiful :) Warm water. I recommend for young people who want to have fun. This hotel is not suitable for families with children. We will be back here next month and then next year :) Thank you Hotel Boulevard for a wonderful vacation :)

Would not go back
Basic all inclusive hotel. Food is ok. Pools are very nice. Aircondition is good. Cleaning is very bad. We didnt get our room cleaned at all, just making of the beds. On day 4 the floor was not cleaned at all and the towels were the old ones folded up again, so we I asked nicely in the reception for them to re-do it as I reckon basic cleaning should be included. Then they did change the towels but the floor was still dirty and the trash was not emptied. They didnt seem to care at all, would not go back. Although big + for the spa/staff doing the massages. Very professionell and nice.
