Club Alanka Club Alanka

Dear future tourists!
We want to share our impressions about Turkey, in particular, about the Club Alanka hotel in Alanya. And at the same time, warn against negative emotions.
So, a 3 * hotel, "All Inclusive" services, i. e. "all inclusive". In fact, everything is not as cloudless as they promise. We were there in September-October and the air conditioner no longer worked, despite the terrible heat. Yes, there is air conditioning in every room, but in order for it to work, you need to pay a deposit of $ 10 at the reception, which will be returned upon departure from the hotel. And so, when we applied for the remote control of the air conditioner with a deposit, we received a devastating answer: "It's not the season anymore, the air conditioners don't work. " But the season in Turkey is from May 1 to October 31, and the hotel is full of people. Since it was impossible to sleep with the window closed because of the heat, and with the window open because of the annoying mosquitoes, we came to the reception again. The answer was no worse than before; we were asked $7 for each day the air conditioner was on. Given the 2 weeks of stay, the amount was not weak, especially against the background of the fact that, in fact, ALL INCLUSIVE (that is, everything was paid in advance when buying a ticket). With all this, even if we had paid the required money, the air conditioner would only work during strictly defined hours.

The hotel itself is located along the highway, the beach is across the road, and when we were there, the road was widened - the impression that you live at a construction site. The beach is with small pebbles, the bottom is rocky, the sun loungers are broken, you need your own towels for the beach, mattresses for money ($ 1.5 per person per day). And the pebbles are so dusty from the road that after the beach it was necessary to wash not so much from the salt as from the adhering dust. By the way, the underground passage to the beach does not work.
The room is cleaned every day, but cleaning is limited to a vacuum cleaner; towels are changed every three days. Miserable pieces of soap were put in our room only 1 (! ) Once, I’m not talking about shower gel and shampoo - they simply weren’t there. Since we were vacationing with two children, we had the bare necessities with us, including soap, laundry detergent, and soda to wash dishes for the little one. By the way, their laundry is awesome at a cost: one thing - $ 1. Considering a one-year-old child and the daily described panties in wild quantities, you can easily fly into the pipe.
The food for three rubles was good, although somewhat monotonous, but the fruits were diversified - everything except pineapples and bananas.
But this, as they say, particulars. All in all, I didn't like it. The Turks have become completely insolent, they are rude, they only send in Russian like that, they call them names, while pretending that they don’t understand Russian, they don’t understand English, but the Germans are openly licked asses. Bargaining - no haggling, prices go off scale for everything, even for the Turks themselves, and the prices for everything are in euros; it is possible and dollars, but there will be more. Yes, and the vaunted Turkish service is only in words - well, there is no such service there! Yes, and the guide of the meeting side works for Turkey to the fullest. Even if she or he is 10 times Russian, but the attitude towards us is completely Turkish. They offer you excursions to different places, for example, Pamukkale for $ 60, and on the street in any travel agency THE SAME for $ 23. Happy holidays!
