Just got back from vacation a week ago. Opinion about the hotel is unequivocal - greed on the part of the hotel. And a lot of vacationers. Just an unrealistic amount.
Hotel(location)
The hotel itself is located on the outskirts of the village of Mahmutlar, perhaps only the price tags in nearby stores are due to this. From 30 to 50% lower than in the center of the village. It is a 10-15 minute walk to the center of the village. The minibus stops right in front of the hotel.
Hotel (territory)

Four five-story buildings in a fairly small area. Outdoors, only the main pool and a pool with slides. On the territory of the hotel there is a shop with small things and local alcohol, which has a wonderful seller, a shop with leather goods, a hammam bath (it is offered very aggressively at the beginning of the holiday. In terms of active steaming, “disco tour to Alanya” - $ 5, “take pictures” - $ 5, "discs about Turkey" - $ 10 (in all languages ​ ​ ​ ​ except Russian), etc. I was amazed at the activity of the animators. For the first time, they actively sold it 2-3 times a day). The hotels have a restaurant, a bar, a beach bar and a tent by the pool. The beach bar comes down to 2 vending machines, one with plain water, the other with juices. A tent by the pool - during lunch, they bake cakes there, and there is a machine with the likeness of Ayran. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, as well as the schedule includes a late dinner, which is actually missing. Bar - open from 10 to 23. Near the bar are vending machines with water and juice, coffee and tea. Alcohol - one glass in one hand, poured strictly according to the norm (order of the authorities) and into glasses of 180 ml (we drink vodka from such on holidays). Vodka, whiskey, gin have a bad tendency to run out periodically (as I understand it, there is some kind of temporary norm for a bottle). Terribly diluted, once diluted beer came across; . Provided that the local alcohol is already not so hot diluted and poured to a minimum, it brings a particle of dissatisfaction among vacationers (not only Slavs, Italians and Albanians were also surprised. Especially by the constant lack of ice). By the end of the rest, coffee cups and saucers were replaced with 180 ml plastic cups.
Food is economical and monotonous. One cannot dream of European cuisine, there are a lot of stewed vegetables. It's just unrealistic. Meat in the form of spicy cutlets, chicken was quite often. On Saturdays, chicken meat is fried like for shawarma. There was fish, but its appearance and smell made it clear that this was the cheapest offer on the market. Fruits - half the vacation alternated between oranges and watermelon, at the end there were only watermelons. There are quite a lot of different salads and sweet desserts, salads are not worth taking (their freshness raises many questions). During lunch and dinner (since not all tables are covered) there are not enough cutlery, then forks, then spoons, then plates. Because there are a lot of people. In general, the impression left on food is that those who distribute food have an attitude: the less they eat and drink, the greater the bonus to the boss.
Number.
Old dead numbers. Partially the light in the room did not work, but the hair dryer in the bathroom. True, it’s scary to use a hairdryer on which water flows from the shower... Since there were no curtains and a side in the shower. That is, you take a shower, and water is sprayed all over the bathroom; . Vasily, a big black cockroach, lived in our bathroom. Since the rooms are divided into pairs, they have one balcony, but one room has a door to the balcony, while the second does not. Neighbors climbed to dry towels and swimwear through their window. There is a telephone in the room, but access to the city is closed. You can call toll-free numbers (tour operator, insurance company) from the reception or from a payphone, of course for money. And so that everyone can hear.
Beach and pool.

Underpass to the beach. 2 sectors of sunbeds along 3 lines are under awnings. The sand, where the sunbeds are very dirty - gobies are some kind of chips, etc. the entrance to the sea is strewn with slabs, only one place has been cleared. It is natural that there are 90% of bathers. The pool is standard. Located near the buildings - everything is standard. Since a lot of vacationers have to borrow sunbeds from seven in the morning, both by the pool and on the beach. The number of people in the pool and in the sea - as in Sochi;
The overall impression is that the hotel is shit, but the vacation is still good!
