The hotel lives up to its three stars. If you are looking for a cheap holiday, then this is a good option.
The rooms are small, the furniture is old, but they cleaned every day, the bed was changed twice a week.
The hotel has two buildings: the main one is closer to the sea, then comes the pool, then the second building, the older one. The restaurant is located in the main building on the fifth floor. Upon arrival, we gave $ 10, and we were given a room in the main building overlooking the sea (N 308). But keep in mind that the noise of passing cars was heard there, despite the double-glazed windows. If you do not have insomnia, then this is not a problem. But the view is gorgeous: the sea, the Alanya Peninsula, etc.

The food is normal (that year we rested in Chrysanthemum Katya 4 *, there is nothing better), you will not stay hungry. They began to monitor drinking more strictly than in previous years due to the poisoning of our compatriots. Wine is bottled only, the barrels have been removed.
From the positive: 1) for the first time I saw the absence of queues in the restaurant and in the bar. Even in the pool, sun loungers begin to occupy only around 9 o'clock, 2) behind the hotel there is a large shopping street where you can buy everything inexpensively. But if you want branded stuff, then go to the center of Alanya on bus 1 to the final stop for a dollar per person. Start your walk from the Bazaar, then go to the main street of Ataturk (there is a Waikiki store, and Quiksilver, etc. ) . If money is not enough, then it is better to buy at the hotel. It's cheaper there.
The sea in August is like fresh milk. The beach is pebbly, so buy soapy slippers (they are on sale behind the hotel). We preferred to take sun loungers by the pool (free of charge), and went for a swim in the sea, then lay at the bar by the pool. You can cross the road to the sea on top or better through an underpass.
There were almost no Russians in the hotel, mostly Poles, etc.
From the negative: there are two bars on the territory of the hotel. One on the first floor of the old building near the pool is open until dinner. The second one is open after dinner and until 23.00. So the second evening bar is located on the first floor of the new building and partly on the street. There are no air conditioners, at worst, fans. There is nothing to breathe, you sit - then you pour yourself over. It would be better if they continued to work in the first pool bar: it's cooler and prettier there. And here it's hot, gloomy, at least some candles or garlands have been hung. I want to not just drink in the evening, but drink romantically. But maybe these are my whims after 4 * and 5 * hotels. In general, thanks to the hotel guys.
