We went to Fugla at the end of September. At this time, the weather is the best there - there is no sweltering heat, the sun has a maximum of +30, the water is warm.
The main plus of the hotel is a beautiful park. Clean paths, lots of greenery, flowers, palm trees. There are picturesque stones near the restaurant. In general, he was chosen because of the territory.
The hotel consists of three-storey houses. The walls there are like paper, you can hear what the neighbors are talking about. We were lucky, we had a TV and the air conditioner worked (neighbors from St. Petersburg complained that they didn’t have a TV in their room). True, for the remote control you have to leave a deposit of 15 bucks.

Fed just for slaughter - six times a day. Food without frills, but you won't leave hungry))) It's bad that they give only colored "yupis" from drinks. Freshly squeezed juice costs one euro. Desserts are delicious, for lunch they serve a lot of greens, fish, beef or poultry. Garnish - rice with various seasonings, eggplant, potatoes. By the way, the fried potatoes in the restaurant are tasteless. We did not eat Turkish soups. The wine is tolerable, but the local beer (called "Efes") does not taste very good, and the brandy smells like children's mixture. It's better not to go crazy and take "all inclusive". Our neighbors took HB and then regretted it very much.
We took our own towels to the beach, mattresses were paid. Sunbeds on the "first line" near the shore must be borrowed before breakfast. Otherwise, then you will get broken ones.
Now about entertainment. There was no disco in the hotel. Therefore, the animators (there were about ten of them) offered to take them to the Bistro Belman disco in Alanya for 5 bucks. A cocktail is included in the ticket price. It is very beautiful in the harbor at night, in "Belman" they are allowed to dance even on the table. But there are a lot of annoying Turkish men. We also went to the nearby Robin Hood club. It's great there, different music on each floor. We went to Alanya every other day, in a large company of 50 people from the hotel.
The hotel has a good children's animation - the guys Alleluia and Ayhan. The kids were very happy. In general, there are many families with children and the elderly in Fugla. For those who are older, there is an animator Derba - in volleyball, Musa - aqua gymnastics, exercises, yoga.
All animators are very sociable, talented, they speak a mixture of Russian and English. In the evening there was a KVN-type show, funny and ridiculous contests (you can’t describe many words, you have to see! )
Hookahs, magnets, sweets, CDs, jewelry - all this is sold on the street a stone's throw from the hotel. The choice is large, the Turks willingly give way. Even just walking around is great.
The shopping center in the hotel itself is very weak. So they didn't take anything.

A few words about the phone - do not get caught like us! We bought a card for a payphone at the post office to call home (it's much cheaper than roaming). The main thing is to insert the card with the CORRECT side. If you make a mistake at least once - all minutes (and, accordingly, money) are immediately erased.

Sea excursions (Alanya, Side) were taken not from guides, but on the beach. It came out cheaper by half and everything was super. You just need to take more water with you, especially if you are traveling with a child. A free tour to Antalya is good only if you come for a fur coat or gold. Jewelry in Perge is beautiful but expensive. although they can be exchanged within five years. It is worth a trip for the sake of the Kursunlu waterfall and the ancient mosque.
Now fly in the ointment. They don't like Slavs there. I'm not talking about the drunk Muscovites who smashed the glass table on the second floor of the reception. They love the Germans. Remember this.
If there are problems, the staff pretends not to understand a word even in English or German. But if you order a tennis court, then for each lost ball you will pay 3 bucks. This will be said in the purest Russian.
We flew 15 people from Ukraine. And we swore for three hours until we were hoarse to be settled. I guessed to threaten the embassy (this is the only thing they are afraid of). Only then did the guide arrive and explain that the cover had come out - the rooms had not yet been released because the travel agency had messed up something.
Finally, tired and hungry, we begged ourselves to have a bite to eat (9 there were small children with us) - they brought a large loaf with vegetable filling and cola. After the scandal (the whole hotel came running to the scream) we were taken to spend the night at the Sapphire Hotel in Konakli. Everything was really great there. Only the next tribute, at lunchtime, we were settled in Fugla. The guide took a receipt from each that we have no complaints against them.
Here is such a story. If you do not bother with the bad, the rest is normal.
