The first time we rested in Turkey, we randomly chose the city of Alanya and the Artemis hotel and did not lose. Very good hotel with helpful staff. We arrived at night, settled us within 5 minutes. In the room, they found that the bed linen had black spots, the administration agreed to change our room without any problems, but we did not move, we asked to change the linen in the morning, since it did not matter to us which room to sleep in.
Linen is changed every day, after leaving a tip, it seems that they even got better : )
Meals - buffet. We took half board, that is, breakfast and dinner. We didn't take lunch, as we went for a walk in the morning and returned to the hotel late in the evening. Breakfast is poor, that is, you can eat without problems, but there is little choice. Dinner is super, a huge choice, a lot of sweets, but it's a pity that you won't eat much in the evening, otherwise you will leave with +10 extra kg at the end of your vacation : )

The restaurant has good chefs (for my taste),
There is a swimming pool in the yard, unfortunately I can’t evaluate it, since we didn’t swim there.
I saw a tennis table, but unfortunately they did not use it.
There is supposedly a "gym" just for show, 2-3 simulators and those that make it easier to rent bikes or just walk along the beach.
Now about the most important. We were in Turkey / Alanya for the first time and did not know anything about local excursions / attractions at all. But how lucky we are that we met one man named Kamal.
How to find it. Opposite the entrance to the Artemis Hotel is a building. To the left of this building they sell fruit, and Kamal's "office" is also located there.
Kamal is a very friendly person, he speaks excellent Russian. He can tell you about all interesting places in Alanya and more. He sells excursions at a good discount, 100% you will not find excursions cheaper anywhere than with him. Also in the evenings you can order a hookah and enjoy a wonderful Turkish evening. In general, if you arrive at Artemis or nearby hotels and do not go to Kamal, then consider that you came in vain.
I can't wait until we come to Alanya again, take a walk along the romantic promenade along the coast. Let's get high from the wild trade on the street, go to the Waikiki store and stand in half-hour queues, cool off in the cool Migros supermarket, sunbathe on Cleopatra beach, climb in all the ancient caves, drink cold ayran with local doner, explore the old streets, go to the hammam, visit again the old fortress and most importantly, of course, we will go to the good old Kamal : )
Alanya is a super place, have a good rest!
