Нормальный отель за свои деньги. Normal hotel for your money.

The trip was planned in advance. Timed for my wife's birthday.
This hotel was recommended by a tour agent. After reading the reviews, we decided to go here.
For three (two adults 1 child) the tour cost $1100 from Ukraine.
We went with the Anex tour.
The transfer to the hotel went without a hitch.
We arrived at the hotel at 1:00 am. When filling out the cards at the reception, they immediately stated that the check-in was at 1.00.
After that, I decided to put twenty in my passport. And not in vain, the cards were handed to us instantly.
We got number 20 on the 3rd floor, overlooking the pool.

I liked the room, clean, everything works.

We settled down and immediately ran to inspect the surroundings.
The wildlife of the hotel turned out to be much better than in the photographs.
And immediately fell in love with this area.

Nature is the bomb.

Very nice in the zone of fours-threes. Just a piece of paradise.

The water was cold, but you can swim. The sea is amazingly clear.

We swam in the sea every day.

I only climbed into the pool once, ...for a photo. )))

We return to the hotel.
We drove on April 25th. The whole hotel was on the strength of 70 people. We were afraid that there would be power failures.
But as soon as we entered the restaurant, we immediately calmed down.
The range of dishes was just overwhelming. The waiters are helpful. Everything is great.
The food is delicious but no frills.
The sweet table is poor, but tasty.

I personally don't have any special comments about the kitchen. Except breakfast.
Breakfasts are very modest scrambled eggs, soy cheese and sausages.

Then, when by the First of May the hotel was crammed to the eyeballs, small punctures began. The waiters weren't so quick to take orders. Sometimes coffee or wine ended. But these nuances did not spoil the overall picture.
There were two bars, one near the Alara Star pool, the second on the territory of the four. We sat at the bar for fours, as the waiters are friendlier there.
And much more comfortable.
And by the way, we have no problems with the fact that we have not had a 5-rock at all. Just walked in for the first time and confidently placed an order. And then we were just remembered.

I did not like the fact that there was no animation at all.
Alara Star has never been famous for animation, but for it to be completely absent, it's too much.
Arranged in the lobby only children's discos for half an hour.

After spinning for three days at the hotel, we got bored, and decided to travel somewhere.
We decided to take a tour of Pamukkale.
There is one interesting point here. Everyone writes that excursions are cheaper in a tour agency around the corner.
We went there, yes, and there are $35 instead of the declared $55 per person, guide.
BUT for $ 35 lunch is paid, $ 10, for breakfast you need to ask for a lunch package at the hotel, and a late dinner is also at the hotel.
The child is paid at half price.

And for $ 55 they feed three times along the way in restaurants and a child without payment.
The trip is exhausting but worth it.
Turkey is a very beautiful country.
Didn't get bored along the way.

In Pamukala, I liked the ancient city of Herapolis.
I was especially struck by the ancient amphitheater.

And of course, traventins, it's something.

The next day we went to Alanya.
Also by taxi. They negotiated a ride for $30.
Very beautiful city.

But I immediately say in Alanya NO ANY SHOPPING. Everything is much more expensive than in the market in Avsalar.
But you must definitely get out to the ancient fortress.
Walking is not realistic 5 km up the serpentines. We negotiated a taxi for $25 round trip and + the taxi driver acted as a guide.
But the landscapes that you will see from there will be remembered for a lifetime.

Be sure to go to the bazaar in Avsalar which is located 5 km from the hotel.
There you will feel the whole flavor of Turkish bazaars in full.

And most importantly, always bargain. Knocking down 50% of the price is almost always realistic.
Now about the low rating of Anex Tour.
We had a plane back at 9 am.
The bus was sent for us at 3 A. M. And to the question why so early, no one gave an answer.

But in general, summing up the trip, I can answer that it was positive.
The hotel is good. I can recommend to friends. There are no serious comments.
And if it weren’t for my position in life that the world is big, and there’s nothing to go to the same place twice in a row, I would definitely go to Alara Srar
would still come.
