Chose this hotel based on reviews.
The journey from the airport was about two hours. We stopped at some expensive market. We arrived at the hotel at 8 am. The girl at the reception, who absolutely did not understand Russian, smiling sweetly, seeing our faces tired from a night flight, said that there were no rooms. And will be only after 14.00. We were not ready for such sacrifices, and having taken out 20 American green money from our pocket, we quickly got a good room with a view of the pool (there are no rooms with a sea view). The rest of the rooms face the street!
The room is good, the furniture is new, only a small shower, but the water in it almost did not stagnate. The beds are comfortable but the linens are very worn. Terrible air conditioner. They came to repair it, but after that it began to flow even more. They cleaned the room every day. Towels were changed every other time. Tipping was left four times for 1 buck. But as we understand, they do not give any privileges. Pleased with the warm welcome of the hotel informants. Memet and Vitaly. These are really people who were ready to help on any issue. But the guys at the reception just clapped their eyes and smiled. There is no hotel area. It is a swimming pool with a small path and plants around it.

We went to the hammam at the hotel. Liked.
FOOD: normal. Breakfast: eggs (either scrambled eggs or fried eggs), pancakes, vegetables, cheese, sausages, fresh pastries (very tasty! ). Lunch and dinner are built on the principle of non-waste production. A lot of sweets, chicken meat, lamb, beef is always in a different form. Delicious. The food was really very satisfying. Various fruits. The water from the hotel's cooler stank of fish, so we bought 5 liters of water. After walking 200 meters from the hotel you can buy for $1.
BEACH: small pebbles. For 11 days of stay, the beach is the worst we have seen. Bought 2 sunbeds and an umbrella for $2 per day. Dirt, cigarette butts, garbage, always unwashed sunbeds, although on the neighboring beaches of other hotels, which we could visit for $ 5, they were cleaned very well. The bottom of the hotel's beach was pleasing compared to other beaches. There are almost no cobblestones, although we still swam in protective shoes. Many walked with plastered feet. On neighboring beaches, the bottom is terrible, it is generally impossible to swim normally. The sea is absolutely not for children. For several days there was a storm, it was impossible to enter the sea.
The sea is dirty. After lunch, women's pads, cotton buds, polyethylene, cigarette butts floated there, not to mention algae and sand that washed up from the bottom. But this is not the merit of the hotel.
The chairs are at arm's length from each other. The entire first row was always occupied with towels, which were laid out by two smiling beach workers. And when we asked why we couldn't lie there, we were told that it was for foreigners! Indeed, the Germans were in the front row. who received exceptional service.
After swimming in such a sea, we, like many people, got a rash.

ENTERTAINMENT: none. The hotel is very quiet. Not even music by the pool. Absolutely no animation. The only thing - 2 times a week in the evening came a local ensemble with dances. Saved by the fact that the hotel is located almost in Alanya. We went for a walk every evening. Many shopping arcades, 2 times a week - on Monday and Thursday the market came, although there were enough local shops without it.
In general, the rest left a good impression. This hotel is really worth the money spent and is good for a solid four.
