Номера чистые, еды хватало. Сильные волны и скалистое морское дно The rooms are clean and the food was good. Strong waves and rocky seabed

Hotel Mesut, 4 stars. Located on the first coastline in the city of Alanya, Turkey. It consists of two five-story buildings in white and blue tones. This time we traveled with a group of five people and booked 3 separate rooms. However, the first acquaintance with Mesut did not start on a positive note for us. At the reception, we were confronted with the fact that now there are no 3 separate rooms and they offered 1 standard and 1 family room. They were motivated by the fact that people are extending housing, there are flight delays, and so on. After the road, we were a little shocked, but there was no choice. As compensation for the entire stay, we were offered a free safe in the rooms and free sunbeds on the beach. On the third day, the rooms were vacated, and we finally settled into 3 separate rooms. So be prepared for such twists and turns in the high summer season.
The hotel area is small: in addition to the main restaurant, there is a coffee house, a pool bar, a conference room, a children's room, and there is free Wi-Fi in the lobby.
The hotel rooms are clean, cleaned every day, there is air conditioning and a minibar with water. Also paid safe - $ 2 per day. The bathrooms are also well maintained, there was enough soap and shampoo. Family room is a spacious two-room suite with a partition, but without a door, it has 4 beds, 2 wardrobes. The balcony is quite spacious, the view opens onto the courtyard, but you can also see the sea and the beach.

On the territory of 1 swimming pool with a small fenced area for children. It is noteworthy that local Turks mainly like to swim in the pool, there were a lot of them resting at the hotel. Near the pool bar there is even a sports area with exercise equipment.
Main meals in the main restaurant on the ground floor. The peculiarity is that the buffet has returned, the staff collects you only some dishes for dinner: meat, kebabs, liver, fish. In general, the food was enough, and it is varied: delicious olives, watermelons, melons and Turkish oranges. Lots of sweets: cakes, local pastries, soufflé s. There are 2 coffee machines, tea and vending machines with 3 types of juice. You can eat both inside the restaurant with air conditioning and outside on the terrace, and there is a lower floor and an upper one near the road.
The beach is just a few minutes walk: there is a ground crossing, there is an underground one. For your own safety, it is better to use the second option, because local drivers love to accelerate and do not pay attention to road signs and zebras at all. The beach here is municipal, but each hotel is allocated its own area with paid sunbeds - $ 2 per day per person. At Mesut, this is beach number 7 with green sunbeds and orange umbrellas. The beach itself is mostly sandy, with some pebbles. The sea is very warm: up to 30 degrees in July; in general, Alanya is considered the hottest city on the Mediterranean coast, where the air and water temperatures are always a couple of degrees higher. Of the minuses - these are strong waves, which almost did not stop during the entire rest. The red flag was always fluttering on the beach, and it was hardly possible to swim normally. The second minus is a very rocky bottom, there are whole bryls under your feet, which you can easily get hurt on. Moreover, this situation is observed along the entire coast of Alanya, even opposite 5-star hotels.
But the coastal paths and alleys are very beautiful: everything is bathed in colorful flowers, a lot of greenery, tall palm trees. Nice to walk around and enjoy the views.

But it is even more pleasant to walk along the evening promenade when the heat subsides a little. Local fountains and installations are beautifully illuminated with colorful lights. Lanterns and headlights of cars make the night Alanya even brighter. The noise here does not subside until the morning, the nightlife is in full swing.
In summary, this city was too busy for us, and the beach is very rocky for swimming + with strong waves. Obviously, next time we will choose another place to stay.
