There is little light pollution so one evening they drove us to the helipad to watch the stars. The grounds are very pretty to wander in, and there are many places to sit.
The barbecue includes masses of mezzes, a pancake lady cooking non stop fresh turkish pancakes and masses on barbecue fish, meat etc. Twice a week the food was a barbecue in another part of the grounds, surrounded by pools, fountains and running water. We loved the food and the main downside of this place is the high risk of weight gain. The meals are buffet style with huge choices, varied every day and an omelette/egg chef at breakfast awaiting your choices. All the bread is baked there, (my undoing in the weight control department) many of the mostly organic salads and vegetables are grown on site. Meals are al fresco, and again it was possible to sit on a terrace hanging over same river watching the fish congregate and the swans angling for snacks. In the mornings we would sit out, sipping tea, watching the river slowly flow and the slow swans, slow ducks and lazy fish ambling by beneath the tree shading and dappling the river and the balcony for us.if that was too much action there were even slower turtles on the bank just opposite, and a giant bullfrog singing his froggy song. Some evenings the huge bed was covered with heart shaped rose petals by room service. Our room was huge, with a balcony over the river. A quick phone call from the beach bar and the boat is back to take you home.

If thats not enough there are buckets full of newish snorkels, masks and flippers to borrow to watch the underwater world. Small vignettes to give you an idea: to go to the beach you wait 5 minutes for a boat (often only us on it) which chugs you down the gorgeous reed lined river watching the turtles sunning themselves on the banks, then across the bay to the "beach club" where you can sit all day, watching the ocean, reading, swinging in the hammock, sitting beneath the trees sipping iced rose wine with your squid salad for lunch, then lying next to the sea again. The next thing to know is that it is impossibly beautiful in a way that just touches the soul again and again. (Having said that, we grumbled a bit and the next day 3 excellent wines were on special offer at a third less than they had been which greatly improved our mealtimes). The first thing you need to understand is that this place is remote, quiet and the wine is even more expensive than you might guess from other reviewers.
