Hotel ratings by criteria:
Rested in this hotel from 14 to 24 September 2010.
Initially, I want to say that if a ticket to this hotel costs more than 22.000 rubles. for 10-12 days with a departure from your village, then you can consider it for recreation, otherwise feel free to forget about this hotel. Yes, by the way, this price is indicated for a flight from Voronezh, but if you are located much to the north or east, then you will have to recalculate the price yourself.
I will try to objectively state the facts about this hotel, and you will decide for yourself what you are willing to pay for and what not.
1. The hotel is located at the crossroads of two main streets of Alanya, so peace and quiet in the room is out of the question, day or night.
2. The territory of the hotel is a pool measuring approximately 4x12m and a passage around it is a maximum of 2m, and that's it. The remaining 50m2 is a continuation of the dining room, which is located indoors.
3. The beach is really 30-50m. with crossing the road. The hotel is attached to Cleopatra Beach No. 11, but you can sunbathe on any, because. they are all paid. The price for a deck chair with a mattress and an umbrella for one person is $ 6, for two - $ 9. In the store you can buy a small umbrella for 20 lire and sunbathe on the beach for free with your own towel. Prices are everywhere in lira. The dollar exchange rate is 1.47 to 1 lira. It is most profitable to exchange dollars for lira there, because. rounding change from dollars is always not in your favor.
4. The sea in the Cleopatra Beach area, most likely, does not have breakwaters, because. there is never a calm. There are always waves in that area, either strong or very strong, so it is not possible to swim there, but you can ride the waves very cool.
5. The food in the hotel is worse than in other 3 *, but not much. If you eat lamb and "chops" of unknown origin, then you will not stay hungry. There are very few pastries in the hotel, and if you did not come to the beginning of breakfast, lunch, dinner, then you will be left without it, I never found pastry for breakfast. Same thing with fruits. On different days watermelons, grapes, melons and plums were given, but only for the first "batch" of diners. A couple of times at lunch I saw a dish of cucumber skins, that's how we peel potatoes, so they peeled cucumbers and collected them on a large tray. There were not enough knives, forks and plates for everyone, so a whole line of thirsty people gathered and waited for the next batch to be washed and taken out of the kitchen. But the main feature of this dining room is different - there, during breakfast, lunch, dinner, between the tables, two "waiters" carry a cart with a bucket, where before your eyes they dump the leftovers from the plates and stack the dishes, I have never seen anything like this anywhere and never......
6. The hotel rooms are ordinary. Cleaning is standard. True, the first couple of days I was without towels, because. “They were taken to the laundry, ” but then, after explanations at the reception, they were immediately brought to me. Yes, no one speaks Russian in the hotel.
7. The hotel is not intended for Russians, only Pegasus sells it, and the guides, bringing tourists there, say that they will not appear there anymore, because. you are the only one in this hotel. True, I was able to find, as it turned out, 9 Russian people (along with me) in the hotel, of which two are children of 5 years old. And for our entire vacation, no Russians were really brought there. Mostly Germans, Poles and Turks rest there, and these are either pensioners or Turkish families from some remote village.
8. The hotel is located at a distance of 3-4 km from the "central" discos of Alanya. Taxi is 10 lire. 1 lira = 20 rubles (+/- 1 rub. ). You can get to the center by minibus for 1.25 lira.
9. These discos are visited by almost all tourists of Alanya. I will say for those who like Europeanized discos like "Aura" and "Inferno" in Kemer and "Aura" and "Joy" in Marmaris, you will not like these discos in Alanya. Outside of Alanya, in Mahmutlar and Konakli, there are two Europeanized discos, they are called "Auditorium" and "Samer Garden". We were in the "Auditorium", by taxi it's 30 lire from the hotel one way, the entrance is 20 lire (one cocktail is included in the price). This open-air disco, with a pool, foam parties and mixed music. She works till 5-6 o'clock. We didn’t get to Samer Garden in Konakli, but I know from the stories of my friends that it is in the same style as the Auditorium.
10. Also in the center of Alanya are branded stores with fixed prices. Turks are traded in ordinary stores, but not very much. Factory jeans can be bargained for 30 lira, but I stopped at 40, because. I was already ashamed to buy cheaper, though it is very difficult to find such jeans, because. for the most part, this is handmake. In the Collin's brand store, jeans cost 79 liras, in Mave I bought, probably the most expensive jeans in Turkey, for 120 liras. Also in Alanya there is a "bazaar" that comes every Friday (and do not believe the guides who say that there is no market in Alanya), it is located in the very center, you will immediately find it, you will not get lost. In this market you can buy very cheap fruits and vegetables (I bought peaches for 2 lira and this is without bargaining). There are also souvenirs there, but they put a very high price on them, so you have to bargain to the “victory”, especially since the market is the only place where bargaining is really a pleasure for sellers.
11. Alanya itself is a very pretty green town, with countless parks. Mostly Germans, Poles and the Turks themselves rest there, Russians are much less than in Marmaris and even more so in Kemer. Not many people know the Russian language there, and if they do, they know the minimum set of words. But almost everyone knows English there. And although they say that Russian girls taught the Turks to “vodka, disco, sex”, after a trip to Alanya, I can responsibly state that the Germans taught them to do this. I have never seen such a number of obese, flabby, with a hanging belly and chest, and sunbathing topless, girls, women and grandmothers anywhere and never, and I was in Turkey for the fifth time. The Turks themselves in Alanya are absolutely straightforward and frank, without even asking your name, they offer you “vodka, disco, sex” and are genuinely surprised when you say “no” to them.
Finally, I would like to say that although Alanya is a beautiful town, I would not want to return there. I think once was enough for me.
