Caretta beach hotel caretta beach hotel

Let me just say that I liked the hotel. Location 1 line, beach nearby. Konakli village (center) - 10 min. on foot, with several shopping centers, an amusement park, a market, a mosque... in general, civilization, not in the middle of a field. In Alanya, a minibus 15 minutes to the center, about 6 lira... goes often.
The hotel is medium in size, the territory is compact, but well planned, neat and comfortable. There are no crowds of people, although the hotel was full to capacity... long queues and problems with free tables were once in the dining room on a Turkish night when everyone came at the same time to the opening... otherwise everything is ok. The room is quite spacious, furniture and su in good condition, ind. air conditioning, LCD TV, refrigerator, safe (fee $ 2 / day). The su has poor ventilation and simply catastrophic soundproofing - it feels like the neighbors went into your bathroom... although the soundproofing of the room itself is normal... in general, there is such a minus of the room... Cleaned well.
The staff is very friendly, many understand and speak Russian, the hotel mainly Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Czech Republic. . .

The food is very tasty, quite varied, considering the level of the hotel, especially lunch and dinner. . . breakfast is not so good, but you can still choose something, it seems they think that breakfast should be light. . . well, pizza snacks during the day on the beach, gosleme, ice cream. . . you won't go hungry. . .
I won’t say about the animation - I haven’t watched it much - they entertain mainly near the pool (and we went to the beach... ), at 4 o’clock on the zumba beach and they also offer to play volleyball on the beach... In the evening a small show - contests. . . well. . .
Beach - sun loungers - there are mattresses, there was enough for everyone, common awnings are also normal, they protect from the sun... The entrance to the sea is normal - very small pebbles with sand (it's strange that in the previous review they wrote that it was not comfortable to go in). But probably 10 meters from the shore in different places under the water there are stones (not very deep yet), some are sharp, you can easily get hurt or hit... especially considering that the sea is mostly stormy and the water is not clear, these stones are not visible . . people mostly swim on the right side of the entrance, there seem to be fewer stones... Another minus of the beach is "sand", although it's more like some kind of dust - it sticks to the feet and gets dirty, incl. soils mattresses and deck chairs, when people pass by and do not raise their legs (and many walk like that), this dust rises and flies everywhere... A blue flag hangs by the beach, but the water, although clean, is not transparent due to constant excitement and probably because of this "sand"...
The main disadvantage of the hotel for me is complete freedom for "smokers". It is forbidden to smoke only in the rooms, but on the balconies, near the pool, on the beach - it is possible that people do it actively... it is unrealistic to hide, someone is sure to be nearby with a cigarette... It is strange that the hotel did not at least make it on the beach and there is a separate smoking area by the pool. . . everyone would be comfortable. . .
