Hotel ratings by criteria:
Rested with the whole family from 17 to 31 May 2008. I chose the hotel on the Internet myself. I took my choice very seriously. There were many requirements, and we wanted to choose a hotel that met almost all of our requirements. Succeeded!! ! ; -)))
Alaiye Resort and SPA is a real 5 star hotel. In terms of nutrition, I would even say 5+! ; -)
I still liked it when I chose it on the Internet, although the photos often come across outdated, then it was still a completely different hotel.
I will try to describe this hotel in detail and I hope that my review will be useful.
I must say right away that I recommend this hotel to all my friends. This hotel is distinguished by excellent food, very good service (reception, guest relation, restaurant, maids, porters), very well-mannered and friendly waiters, excellent rooms, a good beach and great animation! This hotel is for those who want to have a good, high-quality, but cultural rest.

There are a lot of Germans in the hotel, all the staff speak German and English well, but worse. Therefore, it is better to go to this hotel for those who know the language. I liked it very much as I speak these 2 languages ​ ​ and I had good practice. Sometimes it seemed to me that I was not in Turkey, but in Germany. German everywhere! Even on the street! In the shops! It's a miracle!
This hotel is also suitable for the disabled (except the beach). I am in a wheelchair myself. The hotel and its grounds are fully wheelchair accessible. Not a single curb, everything is smooth, the perfect elevator (by the way, very beautiful, transparent). But this is only in the main building, and this building is the most beautiful, although I think you can live in any, because in fact, you spend really little time in the room, because there are a lot of all sorts of different entertainments and so on. On the sea and in the pool, of course, my husband carried me in his arms. They also put us in a room for the disabled.
The room is amazing, now if anything - only in it: a wide corridor with a wide front door, a wide exit to the balcony, a large bathroom. My mother lived in the next room, her room was even bigger than ours, and with a huge balcony.
Now I will briefly describe this hotel on the following points:
1. The building of the hotel - everything suited, the rooms are large, new and beautiful. Consists of 7 buildings.
2. The territory of the hotel is not small, it seems to me that more is not needed, since there really is not so much time. For example, we did not go around all of them, although we were there for 15 days. It would be possible to plant more plants, but the hotel is not "naked", palm trees, several orange trees, some beautiful climbing plants, hibiscus, fern, chamomile and other flowers grow on its territory.
3. Food - excellent! Very varied and well prepared. Sometimes came across too (for my taste) spicy dishes, but it seems to me, in any hotel.
There were many varieties of cheese, meat, there were several types of peppers (3-4), from vegetables there were also tomatoes, eggplants, zucchini, several types of cabbage, carrots, beetroot, cucumbers.

Meat: lamb, chicken, turkey and veal. All this in different forms. In addition to the indoor restaurant, people could eat outside and grilled (meat, fish, pasta and potatoes) next to us for dinner. Delicious.
Fruits: melons, apricots, two types of apples, strawberries (twice a day - 4 days after about three), plums, oranges, lemons and watermelons.
Sweets: 15-20 kinds. Cakes (baskets, sometimes eclairs and often something tasty like custards), biscuits with cream, casseroles, baklava (several types), jelly on a biscuit and many other things. Once a week, a huge (80 by 80 cm) ice cream cake was served. Very tasty!
Meals: breakfast, lunch, pastries (drinks and sweets), dinner, night soup. In addition, a snack bar is open from 12.00 to 17.00, where you can taste pizza, fries, shawarma, hamburgers and so on.
And near this bar they bake gozlume and you can drink cold ayran.
It is difficult to give a detailed description of gastronomy, but I want to say that if everything is the way it was when we were there, it is simply impossible to remain dissatisfied. The food is super!
4. Animation - starts at 10 am. Vacationers are entertained all day long. All animation is free. You can do water and simple gymnastics, aerobics, rifle or archery, play darts, volleyball and water polo. Children are engaged in the kids club, at 21.00 a mini-disco is held for them, then a show for adults begins (every day is different), and at 23.00 a disco for adults. All animators are very friendly. I still miss them.
By the way, a huge hello from Helen from MARIUPOL to Tina, Jean, Yusuf and all the animators. : -)))
5. Beach - clean sand, shallow, there are practically no big waves. There were enough beds. Walk to the beach along a beautiful alley of flowering plants for 5 minutes.
Everything suited, only the difficulty was that the access to the beach consisted of 5-6 steps, and each time I had to be dragged in my arms.

What I would like to note.
There were a lot of mosquitoes, so bring some mosquito repellant with you.
For the price, a fairly affordable 5 star hotel, but very good.

In shops it is better to speak Russian, otherwise, thinking that you are from Germany (if you have good German), sellers give you prices, as for Europeans.
There are 3 A la Carte restaurants on site, each of which can be visited once for free. We only went to Chinese, we liked it, but the food in the hotel restaurant was even more interesting.
In addition to the reception, the hotel also has a guest relation, who is always happy to help you if you have any problems or questions.
