Приятный отдых Pleasant stay

For the third time we are resting with our son in Alanya, we are used to long journeys from the airport to the hotel, so I will go straight to the description of the rest. We settled immediately, as we planned in Garden, on the 1st floor of a 3-storey house on the third line (near the playground and tennis court). Very quiet place, large terrace, but did not like the fact that local cats and kittens lived on it , constantly "there was a struggle" for chairs and in general for the territory. I must say that there are a lot of cats in this hotel, it is clear that everyone is very similar to each other, they breed very often (a couple of cats were again with a belly), they pester guests in the restaurant, and, sorry, they shit on that very green grass , on which a local photographer then photographs vacationers. At the reception, they understand Russian perfectly and requests are fulfilled instantly. I asked about the air conditioner, the master came in 5 minutes. The food is normal: compared to the hotels where I was - here was the most adapted food. Usually you pass a table with salads, because it is very sour, but here there are very tasty salads, a little pickled cabbage is just a miracle! The chef is really a clown!! ! He loves to stand at dinner at the hot stand and tell each guest in his (guest's) language what and where lies, and always warns if something is “choo-choo spicy”. And for this, everyone forgives him for these little "shortcomings" of his - well, a person loves to talk! As always, the most delicious is dinner, pancakes or pancakes are baked for breakfast on the street, and you can dine not only in a restaurant, but also in a full bar on the beach (they give fries, pizza, hamburgers, there were even potato pancakes). My son only ate there. I forgot about soups - they are just wonderful, especially white ones. Most liked with mushrooms and broccoli. If the chef had not said that it was from broccoli, he would never have guessed - the most delicate creamy taste!!!
Sea and beach!! ! This is why I chose this hotel! They met my expectations 100%. Gentle sand on the shore and in the water, for children it is a paradise!! ! They are building something on the shore all the time. There are enough sun loungers, even if you come to the beach late, there are free ones somewhere on the edge. BUT. . . This is a really big BUT. Indeed, there are a lot of local Turks who also want to sunbathe on good sand and swim in the sea with a great bottom. And not just sunbathe on good sand, but put your Turkish ass on a sunbed. And the sunbed (as you might guess) belongs to our hotel. They in their native language (incomprehensible to us) agree with the beach-boy and lie in the center of the beach, also use the shower, and even then go home through our (hotel) underground passage. Personally, for this reason alone, I will not come to this hotel again. You don’t have to take beach towels with you: every morning on floor B2 the hotel gives out a towel, and in the evening you hand it over, you get a card, which you change again for a towel in the morning, etc.
The animation team consists of three people - Alena leads a children's disco and a mini-club, and the guys have an evening show, boccia, volleyball and aqua aerobics. Aqua aerobics is more like show aerobics, so fool around. And there is very little music on the beach. It happens, but not enough. In the evening, after the animation, you come to the Garden, and it’s quiet and cozy there, and you quickly fall asleep...

We went to the village for shopping (from the hotel to the right 10 minutes). On Wednesdays the market came (near the mosque). From money it is better to take euros with you. Since the prices are mainly in Turkish liras, and then they recalculate them into euros and dollars. Cherries cost 4 liras or 2 euros or 3 dollars, peaches 2 liras or 1 euro.
Summing up, I will say that I liked the hotel and if it weren’t for a bunch of foreign Turks on the beach, I would have visited it once. But since "a crow will not peck out a crow's eye, " this is unlikely.
