For the first time in Turkey, but how much I have already heard, it seems that I have been many times : ) We flew on a charter from Ukraine - an old plane, sometimes it was scary. Back the plane is already better. We arrived very early, at 9 am we were already at the hotel. Of course, waiting until 14 to check in is very long, I had to pay $ 40 for a room. In other reviews I read that for 20 you can, but the administrator said his price. By the way, if they say that in Turkey you can bargain very cheaply, then I’ll say that the general impression is the opposite - they don’t want to drop anything, they don’t run after you if you don’t take the goods (as they say), they get offended if you don’t buy, and they can even be rude (this is not about the Turks in the hotel). Although the hamam on the first day was offered for $ 70 and no bargaining, on the second day with other staff it was already 30. In general, a very good attitude towards Ukrainians, they sympathize with us very much. If you want a quiet lazy holiday with or without children, then you are in Alara Star. Three beaches for every taste, good territory, you can go to Alara Cum if you get bored. Friends said that there is nothing to eat - complete absurdity. In the evening there is always a grill - either veal, or fish, or chicken wings. Everyone will find something for themselves. In recent days, we have already switched to fast food on the beach at lunch for a change, since at home this is still unhealthy food. 1 time the hotel provides the opportunity to visit the Ala carte restaurant, the dishes are the same, only here you are served, and not yourself, and at the end of the ice cream. But thanks anyway for this opportunity. The animation is not bad, they said that it was weak, but since this is not important for me, I liked everything, especially the animators did their best as they could - 3 people. We went on an excursion from anex tour to the Aquarium, did not like it. For $70 per person we were not at the hotel from 3 pm to 11 pm. When asked the guide how much to go, they said 40 minutes to Alanya, in the end it's in Antalya - 2 hours to go. In the Aquarium itself, they give time only an hour. They say sharks are beautiful - in fact, all fish are not big, but sharks are small. Then a trip to a restaurant with a drive around the city for another hour. The guide said that we are lucky now with dinner at the restaurant. As a result, the restaurant - it was a cafe, in which it is even impossible to eat! The interior is all spoiled, rice and salad, and the chicken at the buffet was given a la carte, that is, my husband was left hungry. We missed dinner at the hotel. . . Then we were taken to see a sandy town with sand figures. Each figurine was illuminated, but nothing was really visible, so we walked for about 10 minutes and got on the bus. And at the exit, a Turk was already running with a printed photo for purchase : ) as a result, the tour was so-so. I recommend the hotel, except for this excursion. Friends told me that they had another divorce with others : ) by the way, tips do not solve anything when cleaning the room, we constantly left a dollar, but friends didn’t - they made figures on the bed for us and for them, so decide for yourself whether to thank or not : )
