If you want to relax comfortably, then you are clearly not here, although judge for yourself. I had a rest at the beginning of June 2006 at the Club Alanka hotel - 3, all inclusive. Let's get it right.
The scorching sun met us in Antalya, great weather. The bus ride takes two hours to the hotel. We arrived at the hotel at 10 am. kind, sweets and those are not sweet, dry. But okay, food was not the main thing for me, there would be some fruits, vegetables. But who eats with men who like to eat meat well, then you should not go to this hotel.
The rooms are not big, they clean every day, the TV-set is ORT international. The air conditioner works only 2 hours at night from 23.00-01.00. The day of arrival left waiting to take a shower from the road, which did not work, and besides, there was no hot water. In general, the Turks have a problem with water, they heat it with solar panels. If you came from the beach after 18.00 or arrived late from an excursion, hot water and do not hope, you have to wait for the next day for it to heat up.

The staff speaks good Russian, but vacationers in this hotel are 95% Ukrainians, Russians, 5% Turks.
If you are forced to exchange dollars for lira, in no case do not change a large amount. You will only need lira for fruit if you want to buy extra at the market. Everything else is in dollars.
It is more profitable to buy excursions directly in the village 30 meters from the hotel. It is 30% cheaper there, but do not forget, wherever you go on an excursion at the beginning of a shopping tour in an unlimited amount of time, and for what you went on an excursion, it will take only a couple hours.
The beach is not bad, but not sandy, as promised in the travel agency, but pebbles. Entry into the sea is very poor, at first it is very deep and there are many large stones.
Always, no matter what happens, rely only on yourself. The guide does not come at the appointed time, moreover, he will pick up the return tickets for the plane and only before the departure with a big scandal will he give it back. Don't trust the Turks.
