WE REALLY ENJOYED!
We flew by PCR codes (with translations into English, they did it urgently, we already received it at 6 in the morning) so there was no time for syntements and flew to a hotel that more or less suited the dates, the price of the recommendation. Our tour operator "Krajina Tour" registered us on the website of the Turkish Ministry of Health, and registered for the flight, it's very good that we flew at night - there were few people, we switched and we were already in Turkey, we switched to the transfer and now it's rest (it must be said that there are not enough people at night cars on the road and we got to Alanya in 2 hours, I highly recommend it, it’s not as painful as it was during the day, I read reviews that people drove up to 5 hours).
The hotel is very nice, small and cozy! We met normally, we flew in at 9 am, put on the bracelets and were invited to breakfast, but we didn’t settle, not for money, not for chocolate, we didn’t count on it, there were swimsuits and martinis in hand luggage, and we went to the beach, we were met by gorgeous waves , they say this is a feature of this region... we were here for the first time! Having jumped in the waves, we went to a bar, drank cocktails, I can say that - not AH! Well, they tried, just a hamburger. . . not so hot, but quite edible! We lasted until one o'clock in the afternoon and the administrator in English loudly and clearly, with a Hollywood smile, told us that the room was ready!

Rooms. the hotel consists of 2 buildings, 1 building suites are large and beautiful rooms, and economy rooms, they say very small, we said that it doesn’t matter how long it takes to get to the building and we were offered 2 building (by the way, it’s nonsense to go through) with larger rooms - it should be noted that the room we got was quite decent, clean and comfortable, I want to note very beautiful golden elevators in the buildings! With huge mirrors and cute music, so whatever floor you are given is beautiful!
In the room there is a mini-bar greeting from the hotel Turkish sprite, cola, mineral water and chocolate, and 1 bottle of water every day, why we were given 1 bottle for 3 is not clear. There is a kettle and tea and coffee. I must say right away that the cleaning is imperceptible, even if you leave "tea" at least not, but we didn’t really spoil it. The only minus of the second building is that it overlooks the buildings of the neighboring hotel and until the animation calms down there, you won’t fall asleep without earplugs, I especially don’t recommend the 1st floor, it doesn’t have a balcony, just say what you want higher, everything seems to be done. We lived on the 5th floor and there was always hot water! On the balcony you could sit and watch the animation of the neighboring hotel.
In general, the hotel is very atmospheric, there are statues throughout the hotel, exact copies of the Istanbul Museum, that's definitely very beautiful - I would recommend this hotel for couples in love, for a honeymoon trip, or a wedding anniversary, or just for lovers, the whole atmosphere is conducive to this!
The feature of the hotel is a restaurant - do not be surprised, it is located on the 5th and 6th floors, it is a very beautiful outdoor terrace! ! with a stunning view of Alanya and the red fortress. Friends, it's so nice to drink coffee in the morning and enjoy the carp of the sea and mountains, and in the evening it's a million lights! In general, it's beautiful, it's romantic, I advise everyone.

About the food, the food is quite normal, I don’t know why some guests said that they were missing something . . well, there’s no lard and borscht here, but for breakfast there are scrambled eggs, fruits, raisins, oatmeal (rice), potatoes, cheeses, not edible their sausage, here I agree, but you don’t have to take it and a lot of salads, there are employees, and yes, they all impose, and no, they don’t regret how much you say so much and put it (if someone says that they didn’t give them something, I won’t believe it, it’s purely with me interest - what do you eat for breakfast at home ?? ? Yes, there are no cakes in the morning, which upset me, because in the evening they are in abundance, you yourself understand this will upset any girl, you don’t need sweets at night !!
Lunch and soup and rice and potatoes and salads are all there, local alcohol but quite decent, everything is poured from bottles as much as you can say, though on the first day they looked askance at us, they were probably afraid that we would not arrange a "tagil" but when they realized that we are not brawling, we boldly poured, by the way, the staff does not speak Russian, I took it off for 3 days with a loud hello and what do you think? ? they learned and began to answer, and also began to teach me Turkish, everything is very friendly and fun, very nice team!!!
Dinner every evening was fish and sea bass and dorado, and some other, as the chef said "turkish fish" + Olivier salad and double whiskey + fruits, as you understand, apples and pears are not interesting, we got into the season of tangerine and grapes, in general, a plate fruits and the evening is great, I want to mention very tasty desserts - chocolate browning, eclairs, biscuits, everything is fresh and really tasty! We didn’t get into ala carte, so I won’t say anything, due to quarantine, the room is closed and there is no disco, also very dubious animation, from wandering artists, and a lady over 50 who danced a belly dance and a number with a twisted boob, but does not deserve pity nothing.
Whoever traveled to hotels will understand - the skirt of the show, python, miss hotel, in general, it is more useful to walk along the embankment, breathe in the fresh night air, it should be noted that they made an excellent embankment in Alanya, but parallel to it there is a street with shops, no one is missing by the hand, if you ask, they will say, no, no... so who goes shopping there! There are also many markets for all former citizens of the USSR, for those who didn’t have enough in the restaurant - taranka, dumplings, lard, etc. , I won’t say that it’s cheap, but it’s quite tolerable! There are also sunscreens, after-sun, inflatable circles, other beach paraphernalia!

The beach itself is a beach with small pebbles, the entry is quite pleasant, and if you swim to the end of the breakwater, you can find huge stones, you can stand on them, and what is most interesting, there is a lot of sand, a kind of sandbank... very nice! There are sunbeds and mattresses + umbrellas on the beach, I’ll say this, not everything is whole, but there is plenty to choose from, there seemed to be enough places for everyone, but there is a certain peculiarity, all the beaches are across the road from the hotels, and the beaches are not fenced, that is, citizens from other apartments, going to our beach number 14, having paid money for a sunbed, they can rest for themselves, and those who have covered a towel, they rest for free on the shore... So I don’t think it’s necessary to leave some expensive things unattended!
The bartender watches the whole beach, he also pours beer and tea in the bar for vacationers from the hotel for free, for everyone else for money... the bartender looks formidable and only then when you make friends he becomes cheerful and even jokes. He drives outside salespeople from the beach, only his masseur once approached him, he was refused and he no longer approached. In general, the beach personally reminded me of the Soviet style, and the local uncle with a tray on his head who wore corn and bagels completed the full picture! Still would have shouted "pokhlava and seeds, beer and ram" and just like at home! And another huge minus is that you have to go to the beach along a land road, and Turkish drivers do not really give way to vacationers! A very nice lifeguard, we also became friends, he also does not speak Russian, but I am sure that he speaks English.
During the 10 days of our stay, there was a slight earthquake once, and 1 vacationer drowned, the police, the owner of the hotel and the lifeguard came to the beach, there were waves that day and the young man overestimated his abilities, alas, he drowned. So be prudent and do not overestimate your strength!
The animation on the beach boiled down to the fact that an animator from Belarus, I don’t even remember the name, walked and talked with aunts from Russia - inciting ethnic hatred between Ukrainians and Russians, but ALL adequate vacationers communicated with each other, without any claims and insults! They entertained themselves by playing cards, swimming to the races, jumping from the pier, looking for pebbles! Another unpleasant minus the pools were not heated, and the slide, I personally saw it worked 1 time, a child with blue lips rode there, for the sake of interest I tried the water, I almost had a cramp, the water is just ice, it’s not clear in the sea it’s warm and good, but in the pool not warmed up and it was not heated... and none of the 3 pools were heated.

As for gels and shampoos, they were brought in full, everything was on time, and a nail file and a washcloth, and after-shower lotion and a cap, there were no problems with this, the hair dryer dried my head in 2 minutes, there was also an abundance of paper.
In general, the hotel is very interesting, many tourists stopped and took pictures near this hotel, though it is very beautiful!
ABOUT Wi-Fi WORKS EXCELLENT ALL OVER THE TERRITORY AND IN THE ROOM, BAD ON THE BEACH!
