We rested for two weeks with my family: me, my wife and a six-year-old daughter, from September 13 to 27. The ticket was taken in CORAL travel. Flight, meeting and transfer went as it should. We arrived at the hotel around 9 am. The hotel was packed to capacity, so they settled only at 14:00 (even a bribe did not help). So the suitcases were handed over to the storage room, they changed clothes there, received bracelets at the reception and went to have breakfast. After breakfast until lunch we swam and sunbathed on the beach. So waiting for a room is not uncomfortable.
SEA, BEACH, WEATHER
The weather in September in Turkey is capricious, but not too much to interfere with, have a good rest. During the rest, two or three times clouds came up and thunderstorms occurred, they did not last long, so that in the heat of + 35-36 degrees everything instantly dried up.
Another unpleasant surprise was that it was stormy for almost a week and you could swim in the sea only on the neighboring beach, lifeguards were not allowed on ours (it should be noted that the hotel is very concerned about safety, lifeguards are on duty at each pool and on the beach).
The beach is sandy, well-groomed (regularly cleaned, “combed” by workers), there are not large pebbles when entering the sea. There were always enough sun loungers, despite the fact that we came later than everyone else to the beach (we never lay on the sand in two weeks).
The coastline is moderately gentle (ideal for children). There are large boulders, you can easily walk between them, they are clearly visible.
You can also enter (jump) from the pier. The pier is in good condition. You can fish from it, which is what the rescuers and the "hookah man" do.
RESTAURANT, SNACKSHOPS, BARS
The food is well varied.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are held in the restaurant (in the main hotel area) except Tuesday and Friday, when dinner is held on the coastal territory, in the open air. The food is good and varied.
For breakfast there are always rolls, scrambled eggs, cereals (clouds of species), cheese, sausage, olives, salads, sweets. Donuts or pancakes are also prepared. You can make your own toast, there are three toasters for this.
For lunch there is always soup, garnish (pasta, potatoes, rice), chicken or fish, meatballs, salad bar, fruit, cakes. Salads are available both ready-made and in the form of do-it-yourself ingredients. Three kinds of fruit: apples, plums, watermelon, tangerines appeared towards the end. There are 10 types of cakes, no less.
For dinner, everything is about the same as for lunch, plus stuffed peppers, meat or shawarma or grilled fish.
On Tuesdays and Fridays, cakes with cheese, shish kebab (made on coals in the grill), a cake cooked in oil or honey right in front of you are added on the coastal territory.
Late soup is served from 23:00 to 00:00 at night at the restaurant. Although, it should be noted that local soups are very specific (but this is a problem for all non-Slavic (southern) countries; we have a rather distinctive culture of soups, one might say, this is our national feature).
Eateries on the coastal territory are open from 10:00 to 17:00. There are three of them, the first one offers to collect a hamburger (there are cutlets, lettuce, cucumber, tomato and marinated platter), french fries, pasta (spaghetti with gravy). The second offers a variation on the theme of "pide" (traditional Turkish pastries) and tortillas. The third is made in ethnic style, where a woman in years prepares a Turkish pancake (half-lavash) with cheese or potatoes.
After 17:00 they sell popcorn (for $2) and cotton candy (I did not specify the price, but the portion is small anyway).
Ice cream is released during the day and night, the price is $ 1, they put more than generously, plus ice cream of excellent quality, so money is not a pity.
Bars, there are permanently two of them on the main and coastal territory. Plus, at lunch and dinner, a bar in a restaurant with a very colorful elderly bartender is connected. On Tuesday and Friday, for dinner, a second bar opens on the waterfront with the same colorful bartender (Louis de Funes turkish fashion). Every bar and restaurant has a water cooler (you can get bottled water), a syrup machine (children's favourite), a coffee machine (black coffee, cappuccino made from natural coffee) and an "electric samovar" for tea, open from and until late at night morning (I have never seen them not working).
Alcohol is poured properly, draft beer (TROY 3.5%), vodka, gin, crayfish (aniseed vodka), red and white wine are available.
Everything is drunk with a bang without consequences in the form of a hangover and, as I said above, they pour it properly (four glasses per hand) into the glass (there are good plastic glasses for the beach).
ROOM, TERRITORY, SURROUNDINGS, ALANYA.
I can’t say a bad thing about the room, but there’s nothing special to praise either. Everything worked, lamps, refrigerator, telephone, TV, air conditioning, remotes, hair dryer. Large balcony (except for the first floors in some buildings). Cleaned every day at the neighbors, we posted a sign not to clean, so for all the time they cleaned three times, but it was our decision. There was a safe, but we didn't use it.
The area is the main highlight of the hotel. Everything is just buried in the greenery of a kind of village in the jungle. Everywhere lizards scurry and birds fly. On the main territory, chickens live, there is a rooster (which crows at five in the morning) there was also a chicken with chickens.
A herd of geese lives nearby on the football field (children feed them with bread with pleasure). When reservishing, there is a cage with parrots on the street, and a paddock with ducks on the coastal territory. One morning, goats were grazing near the hotel. Two kilometers north of the hotel there is a village where you can see the way of life of the locals. And also a cedar forest, blackberry thickets, a lemon plantation, pomegranates, fig trees, a cafe on a river cliff and a dog kennel. There are bazaars to the east and west (left and right) from the hotel at a distance of about a kilometer + -200m. Where you can buy clothes, sweets, souvenirs and other junk (prices are about the same as in Alanya). But, despite the fact that the bazaars near the hotel fully satisfy the needs of tourists, you must definitely go to Alanya, because the fortress of the 13th century delivers and in general I liked Alanya more than Antalya (I was in Antalya twice).
There is also a dolphinarium across the road.
Issue price $25/person.
INFRASTRUCTURE, ANIMATION, STAFF.
The hotel is across the road from the sea. Access to the sea is carried out by means of an underground passage. The latter is a marvelous engineering structure, always cleaned to a shine and lit (warm, lamp-like) gives the impression of the integrity of the main and coastal territory. The fact that the beach is across the road from the hotel is not felt at all from the coastline, the road is not visible, it is closed by a fence of palm trees and other thickets. You can leave the room in just swimming trunks and, without feeling any discomfort, walk to the beach. There are also two adult pools (one on the main territory of the other on the coast). One children's pool with a mini slide on the coastal territory. There are also three water slides on the coastal territory (when we rested, only two worked), the slides work 2 hours a day at 11:00 and at 15:00.
On the coastal territory there is a ping-pong table (free of charge), a tennis court (racquets cost $ 5 / hour). On the coastal territory there is a disco, it works every other day.
There is a shop on the main territory (prices are not much higher than in the bazaar, and for some items even lower). Leather shop "mondeal". And a photo studio can order a photo session. Or take a picture with a parrot on the beach.
During the day, the animators organize exercises, darts, bocha, ping-pong competitions, beach volleyball, water polo, pool games, belly dance lessons, evening shows, evening competitions such as Mr and Miss hotel, as well as trips to a disco in Alanya (price $10). And also a lot of small competitions for dexterity and attention or board games.
The staff is polite and attentive, almost everyone speaks Russian at least at the initial level. There are two women working at the reception who speak excellent Russian.
There is also an administrator who speaks fluent Russian (works every day).
FOR KIDS
Two playgrounds on the coastal territory. The children's club is also on the shore, Russian teachers work there, children can be left as in a kindergarten. The club hosts games, watching cartoons (most of the time), they also do children's body art. The restaurant has a children's buffet, a baby seat, a blender, a microwave and some other thing for bottles. There is also a rental of strollers (price not specified).
PROS.
Territory, beach, staff, food.
MINUSES.
Not always high-quality cleaning in the room. Lack of brandy, cognac or whiskey in the bar. By the end of the season, the catamaran was broken. One of the water slides didn't work.
P. S.
The hotel is ideal for families with children and the elderly. The vast majority (95%) of vacationers are Russians, so if you don't like to relax with compatriots, then you'd better choose another hotel.
