The truth and only the truth!!!
Good day to you, dear travelers!!!

We flew late in the morning to Antalya, from Kyiv, with a delay in the flight of AtlasGlobal, Turkish Airlines. The tour was taken in Anex.

The hotel was the fourth on the transfer list, we drove for about three hours, the road did not tire, the condo worked and the tour operator entertained the girl with stories, we looked at the local beauties: mountains, sea, banana gardens, etc...

We knew where we were going, so we didn't expect much.

Good budget hotel, deserves its 3 ***.

A VERY good trio.

Staff.

Almost everyone speaks and understands Russian.

Russian-speaking vacationers: Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, CIS and Poles, there were a couple of ladies.

Settlement.

They didn't pay anything extra, because they originally ordered a family room.

The hotel is small, without territory, like everything in the area, a swimming pool with a slide (children's joy), a bar, and tables located around the perimeter.


Settled quickly, without delay.
Elevator trouble of the hotel, no ventilation.

Family room on the fifth floor - 501. Corner, large, two-room, with a balcony and two plastic chairs, the balcony is not small compared to other rooms.

Number.

Large bed in the bedroom, two single beds and a sofa in the large room, TV, chest of drawers, table, closet, safe in the closet. We didn't take.

Theft in the hotel - NO!!

The bathroom is normal, everything worked, though a bit dark. Come on, they didn’t come to take baths, but to relax at the sea, swim and sunbathe ...

The bed is clean, towels too. Cleaned three Turkish women promptly, many thanks to them and hello. Good, kind people. About the fact that they did not remove the lie !!!!

Many thanks to those who pulled the rope on the balcony, I did not have to get my own.

The only downside is the air conditioning!!!

It was installed in the wrong place. It would be hung in a large room and over the entrance to the bedroom ...that would be cool ...and happiness to everyone.!!!

Nutrition.
The food is good for a troika, you understand where you are going, not at five, not at four.

Only breakfasts are rather weak, but everything else is normal, you can live, you won’t die of hunger.

Breakfast: boiled eggs of two types, sometimes scrambled eggs, cereals, porridge, butter (such as "rama"), vegetables, sausage cuts (none), olives are different, delicious and local cheeses such as feto, cheese, in different variations, bun, fruit , various jams and honey (this is what I need, I don’t eat sugar). Tea, coffee, various drinks a la yupi and sprites, cola, etc. , just water in the cooler.

Lunch.

Flatbreads with and without filling are called gozleme.

Lunch: rice, pasta, chickpeas, chicken, sometimes nuggets, soy meat, mashed soup, vegetables, both raw and stewed, very tasty, several types, were with mushrooms (for an amateur), eat steamed, salads, greens, herbs, fruits, bread and loaf. Not very peppery and salty.

Afternoon snack: biscuits, tea, coffee.

Dinner: everything is the same as for lunch, grilled chicken or some kind of meat (similar to soy) was added. Fries, puree. Soup. Once they gave the fish, the local fried anchovy seems to be, in general, some kind of fried sprat.

Fruits have always been: watermelons are very tasty sugar, sweet ....apples, oranges, melons. There were local sweets, but I was not impressed.

Maybe I didn't say anything, sorry.

Alcohol: we only tried wine once, not impressed...khe, ....and a little beer (not fans of it, just wanted to try it, beer is like beer). The alcohol is not very good, they took the wine of Spain in the dutik, the bartender opened it for us.

Sea...

The beach is not far away, for those who were indignant about this, I will say one thing - sometimes in hotels with a large territory it takes longer to stomp to the sea, don't whine - close, min 5 with a sluggish step. A little bit never hurt anyone!!!!

Beach.

Landscaped, there were enough sunbeds, there are umbrellas, we were under a canopy. There is a bar, shower, toilet.

Sunset in the sea is not so hot plates, everyone writes about it.
This is the trouble of the entire coast! Bulk, sandy beaches near expensive hotels. There is a cut-out place from the plates, but be careful the wave can throw it on the stones, my children got carried away and got hurt a little, paying tribute to the sea king with a wounded knee and foot and drowned the diving mask. After that, there were no excesses. It healed really fast. take peroxide, plasters and other wound healing with you. Many vacationers get hurt, just out of stupidity and inattention. Be careful. Do not climb stones, do not think that you are the coolest. And use sunscreen more often. For the sun bakes relentlessly. You can immediately see the careless, burned on the first day. And mothers, take care of your children from the sun, I watched such a picture ....12-00 - NOON!! ! , The sun is at its zenith, and the children are on the beach, especially with regards to babies, they are already at 10-30 in a hotel or somewhere in the shade . . but, mothers fry them in the sun, white, defenseless, thinking that it is necessary ...to whom???

And then burns and sleepless nights and pain!!! ! Be prudent on the beach with small ones in the first days until 10-30 or before 11-00 and after 17-00, the sun will be enough. Sunbathing even under a canopy. And in the evenings until midnight, walk and breathe in the healing sea air.

You can swim from the pier, very comfortable descent. The sea constantly "storms", or rather a wave near the shore. We swam even at night, after 9 pm ...such grace ...the sea is warm, gentle, clean and salty, sometimes it stinged our eyes. Rescuers were nearby - on the alert. But, we were splashing in the lagoon a meter from the shore ! ! The sensations are crazy and the joy is extraordinary! And it is not hot and there is no daytime stuffiness.

We took Wi-Fi on the beach, paid once and use it all the time, change the password once a week. They introduce it themselves. The hotel is expensive and bad catches, did not take.

The bar has everything and fresh juices and ice cream, and water, you can have a bite and so on ....everything is paid.

For those who like to lament - do not like the beach ...buy a tour with access to Cleopatra Beach.
Everywhere in the area of ​ ​ Alanya coast plates. Read where you are going!

Massage is available at the hotel. First time free, then $10. You can go to the hammam, in Alanya, it is better immediately upon arrival, then there is no point.

Animation.

Sandro, well done tried his best. For a trio - smart. The bartenders were helpful. It was bingo, Turkish night, national dances were dancing, the guys tried, circus artists, fire shows, swimming in the pool in the evening. For those who want to go to Alanya to dance (the Germans notably light up, sorry, I remembered). Next to the club there is a green street with bars and clubs....there is where to turn around...and have fun...go for it!

There are cafes near the hotel.

For a triple, the animation is normal, sometimes there is no animation in 5 *. So don't whine.

Everything is in your hands and your leisure too.

We went to Cleopatra Beach, we liked it!!

Walk a little 300 meters from the hotel, bus N-1, cost 3 lira, it’s better to get off at the fortress, as you pass the Waikiki store, the next stop is yours, there is also a bank nearby, and a water park, you will pass it, you will find it. It is better to buy water and sweets in Migros, it will be cheaper on the way. The beach is sand, white, not even sand, but such an interesting structure of small, small pebbles and shells, with sand, I have not seen this before, the sea is turquoise, clean, warm everywhere. sun loungers and umbrellas for a fee, we took an umbrella - $ 2. Wi-Fi is included in the price for the duration of your stay. Near the cable car to the mountain and the fortress, it costs 18 lire (round trip). Beautiful views.

Mahmutlar is a very cozy, calm town, with a beautiful embankment, everything is green and fragrant. I liked it, there is where to take a walk, breathe in the mountain air and the sea breeze. Something reminded me of the mountains of my beloved Crimea. You look at one mountain Kotebel and Karadag reminds you, on the other Ayudag ....
Palm trees, pink and white oleanders, in the form of bushes and beautifully formed trees, ficuses - large trees, oranges, lemons, pomegranates, figs and bananas, olives grow everywhere. Very beautiful and unusual spruces, I have never seen anything like them. The only negative is the heat, stuffiness (this is for me personally) with children and who does not like extreme heat - it is better to go from May 25 to June 20 and from September to October 15. When there is no this hell. It's hot in August, don't forget Alanya - the southernmost region.

There is a market on Saturdays and on Tuesdays. Trade everywhere.

Alanya is noisier, and more expensive than Mahmutlar, more party-going. Even more beautiful, but fussy, noisy.

Tours.

The guide did not take.
We went by cable car, to the fortress and on a pirate boat, in the afternoon, a program for five hours, animation, swimming in the sea three times, passing by caves and Cleopatra beach, foam disco and dancing, food, drinks, water, only alcohol is paid, More designed for children, but adults will also be interested. For prices: you can walk from the hotel and buy $ 20 from Kudrat (sorry, I forgot her name) and Tatyana. We walked in Alanya in the evening and approached the ships ourselves, the daughter herself chose which adults wanted to sail $ 20, a child of 12 years old - $ 10. They paid immediately and issued a receipt, with the name of the hotel and the room, they left a copy at home. At nine in the morning, a bus came and took it and brought it back. You can swim on a ship and in the evening look at the night city from the sea. In the evening, animation for adults takes place on the same ships.


We did not go on other excursions, there were few days of rest.

Pamukkale is far away, 6 hours one way.

There are no questions about the hotel!
We knew where we were going, which hotel, how many stars, which beach, which food, obviously they don’t serve crabs and lobsters. For budget travelers. Therefore, there are no angry cries about the sea, food, hotel. Normal budget hotel. We spent the night, had a bite to eat and in front of the sea. You haven't seen bad triples!!!

Feel free to go if you are on a budget. And the sea and the sun are the same for everyone, whether you are in the top three, in the four, or in the five.

Rested with children and with a friend.

Perhaps missed something. There will be questions write. I will answer.
