Wi-Fi is so-so, intermittent (on the 2nd floor in the room it catches). 4. No animator for children. 5. Cleaning in the room was for the entire period 2p.

4. No animator for children.
5. Cleaning in the room was for the entire period 2p.
6. There are few tourists from other countries, mostly all locals, but this does not interfere with the rest.
And now for the GOOD!
We knew where we were going, and we were ready for a long trip to the hotel from Antalya, yes, the children got tired on the way, but this did not spoil the rest! Upon arrival at the hotel, we were immediately settled and we went to dinner. From food in a 3 * hotel, we expected the worst, but we were pleasantly surprised (vegetables of different preparations, salads with greens, several types of side dishes). Tea, coffee you need to make yourself, drinks (cola, fanta, sprite, alcohol, juices) are unlimited. meat dishes were almost daily, the fish was in the form of cutlets and even baked mackerel. Fruits were daily (melon, watermelon, peach, plum, pear and apples). Sweets were so-so and not enough, but you can eat. The hotel has a swimming pool, but it is more for beauty than for swimming. Across the road is the sea and the water park (for vacationers it is free). Near the sea, all the sunbeds are free of charge and the boys always go there and put things in order (they line up the sunbeds in a row and straighten the mattresses). The beach is clean, you shouldn’t worry about your things, we left both the equipment and the bag in a conspicuous place, no one touches anything or even looks. The sea is always with waves, but it is sooooo warm, even at 7.30 . . The sea is clean, there are not many people in the sea and this is captivating. At 11 we left the sea and went to the water park, there are slides and 2 pools. There are enough sunbeds, it makes no sense to strain about the armor, enough for everyone. Children didn’t climb out of the slides, watching people sit near the pools, and whistle when someone is brawling in the pool - everything is very civilized. at 12.30 the slides will be turned off (for lunch), and since the peak of solar heating. and turn on at 15.30. This is great, there are no problems how to explain to children why they need to leave to eat! In the evening you can stroll along the local streets. The place itself is very picturesque and beautiful. I advise you to immediately exchange money ($) for TL (lira), as change will be given to you in the store from dollars at an unfavorable rate for you. It is better to exchange money on the way at the bank or where the Guide will offer on the way to the hotel. In general, we are very satisfied with our vacation. We knew that we were going to 3 * and did not expect much from the hotel, as we were going to the sea and were not looking for cons! For such money, the rest was very successful, the main thing is to set yourself up for a positive-rest-sea. Another big plus is that the place has not yet been prepared for tourists, no one is trying to impose anything, and it is quiet here, there are few traders, and there is always where to buy ice cream. A vacation is very suitable for older couples, for couples with small children, for those who want to retire and who are tired of megacities. We recommend and will come back here again and again!

I read the previous reviews and couldn't help but write. There is no smell in the rooms, they clean every day. The food, of course, is not exquisite, mostly vegetable dishes, little meat, but always fresh! It's not true, nothing has ever been corrupted! Local women bathe in clothes, well, according to their faith, it is necessary.

The food, of course, is not exquisite, mostly vegetable dishes, little meat, but always fresh! It's not true, nothing has ever been corrupted! Local women bathe in clothes, well, according to their faith, it is necessary. And it is we who come to them, and not they to us and not for us to dictate our conditions to them. The sea is wonderful, very clean, there are few people, you don’t like the neighborhood, go 10 meters to the side. Maybe they don't like some of our vacationers with strings instead of panties either. . The pool water is clean and cleaned almost every day. Everyone who wants to swim there. And if you don't like it, take 5 stars and pay 10 times more. But there is no need to invent something that does not exist. The staff is very friendly and polite. But, probably, it depends on how you behave and how you treat them. The response will be appropriate. Yes, there are drawbacks - a very long transfer, no entertainment, not the best range of dishes, but this hotel is designed for Turks, not Russians and the corresponding menu. Meat in Turkey is very expensive, so they eat little of it. . We went with a child to relax on the sea and I have never seen a better sea!

We were in this hotel at the beginning of September 2011. Departure from Samara was delayed by 9 hours. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were fed separately, because dinner had already ended. The hotel itself, in principle, is not bad, the service is normal, the staff is friendly. But it is located in such a remote place that, apart from the sea, there are no sights there.

We were in this hotel at the beginning of September 2011. Departure from Samara was delayed by 9 hours. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were fed separately, because dinner had already ended. The hotel itself, in principle, is not bad, the service is normal, the staff is friendly. But it is located in such a remote place that, apart from the sea, there are no sights there. But the sea is beyond praise, very warm - 28 degrees, very clean - the bottom is visible at a depth of several meters and very salty. So salty that you can just lie or hang on the surface of the water without touching the bottom with your feet. The beach is small, only large debris is removed, there are a lot of cigarette butts in the sand. The beach is sandy, the shore is gentle, it is very convenient to go into the sea. There is no animation. There are only a few mattresses on sun loungers, whoever had time took it. Feeding - mostly vegetables, but in all forms - salads, baked, boiled, fried. They give little meat, although if we asked for more, we were never refused. The chef is very pleasant, kind and smiling. No pastries either, sweet only honey and rose petal jam in the morning. So, who loves a hearty meal, you are not there. The dishes are mostly Turkish, because the main contingent is Turks. Lots of families with children. In the yard there is a hammock and a small playground, 5-7 minutes walk - a large set of swings. Also nearby there is a whole playground of exercise equipment right in the open air, you can use it, although they belong to another hotel. The hotel has two swimming pools - a large one with a gutter and a small paddling pool. There is a separate cafe near the beach, in the evening there is live music. The first drink in this cafe is free. The hotel has a bar with a very polite bartender, Farukh, who speaks English. The room is cleaned daily, the water in the pool is very clean, however, it smells strongly of bleach. We did not take excursions, we were only interested in the sea. And yes, it takes a long time to get there. Transfer from Antalya takes about 3 hours. The road, however, is beautiful, but quite tiring. Alanya is about 40 km. The nearest village of Gazipasa is 3 kilometers away, a bus runs once an hour - 1 lira ticket, but we mostly traveled for free on hitches. Gazipasa is a small town with a market and many shops in the center. . One day a week is a fruit day, when cheap fruit is brought in. For example, we took excellent peaches for 1.5 lire. On other days, fruits can also be bought, but a little more expensive, in shops. There are many shops with clothes and shoes, prices are much lower than in Antalya or other resorts. We, however, bought only children's things. Near the beach of the hotel there is a small cove, where there are yachts and fishing boats. Mullet fish are caught directly from boats, on a piece of bread, just on a fishing line, even without a rod. As soon as the bread falls into the water, it immediately "seething" from the abundance of fish. In a few seconds, the prey is already on the hook. Vessels leave for night fishing for 40 kilometers. So, fishermen here are simply a paradise. In general, the conclusion is this - the hotel is good for a relaxing holiday for families with children and people who do not need much entertainment. The sea, they say, is the cleanest on the entire coast. And from Russia, besides the three of us, there were no tourists at all, there were only two Russian grannies from Tashkent. And, although we mostly had to communicate on the fingers, Turkey received us very kindly. Thanks!! !

You won't find a worse place! Terrible smell from the rooms, spoiled food, staff make money on everything you use! The hotel makes money by the fact that tourists move and pay a fine of $ 300. The beach consists of bathing old men in clothes. Don't go to the pool either. Down with the unforgettable horror!!!!! !.

In the morning the world became more beautiful. Food did not appear, no. We decided to lose weight. The child was fed with cans, for which they dangled in a wheelbarrow to the village, while the son slept alone in a quiet hour. Once a "miracle" happened, the son drank a drink of unknown origin... and covered with a rash : ) Kind neighbors from Ukraine sold 2 tons of suprastin for 10 bucks. And here happiness began, apparently due to the fact that all the troubles my mother-in-law endured in silence! and everything turned upside down in positive moments.... and they stayed to work without evicting mine! Nasty drinks and allergies to them - They began to fish for my child in the morning and cook so that he would not eat from the common table. They moved to a SUPER room! The pool is small, but the sea and the beach are all YOURS! (and the beach is there. . . wow) Huge! I'll show you a photo at my personal request

Romantic place for lovers. The only hotel on the coast, the cleanest water and the beach (2.5 km). Around there is a bungalow with a huge restaurant, two large pools (smaller in Selinus), 2 bars. Free admission. There are always some holidays in this restaurant. On the first day of our arrival, there was a Turkish wedding, So Interesting!!! ! We were just going to go to Caravan Saray the next day, to see the wedding (acting): )) And then I had a chance to compare reality with the performance! ) Wow! .

On the first day of our arrival, there was a Turkish wedding, So Interesting!!! ! We were just going to go to Caravan Saray the next day, to see the wedding (acting): )) And then I had a chance to compare reality with the performance! ) Wow! . . 400 people. Who said they don't drink at their weddings? ? Still HOW they drink, before wallowing on the ground. You can come and see, you will not be left without company. Even if you are men.
Okay, off topic. There is also a disco nearby. To buy something that is not nearby (women's accessories, medicines, etc. ), you can go to the center, buses go there regularly (4 minutes drive) or you can catch a car, a cat. rides in that direction. Just do not offer money - they are offended.
In the hotel itself, fortunately, hot water does not disappear, at least fill up with beer, you won’t stay hungry either, if everything is included. Sometimes his friends come to the director and he invites live music. . . In short, what am I telling you! Turkey is always a vacation!
P. S. I compared the purity of the water there and in Alanya itself... beyond comparison. I went into Alanya into the water . . swam on slippery flat stones. When she actually swam, all sorts of hand manipulations were intended to brush away floating grass and debris!
