Review of Club Enjoy Beach 3 * (Turkey / Alanya) - the truth about reality

First, I will go over the points promised in the descriptions of the hotel on the sites. Description of the beach First coastline - YES own - YES sand and pebbles - NO! ! ! (dirty packed sand 50% + cobblestones and boulders 50%); there are sun loungers, but there are 30 pieces on the beach and 20 pieces near the pool (half of them are broken) - and this is for the number of vacationers 230 people ! ! ! i. e. 20% of vacationers are provided with sun loungers; therefore, they are forced to occupy sun loungers with their own towels in advance, otherwise there is nothing to relax and sunbathe on. Mattresses - NO! ! ! Don't believe the photos from 20 years ago! ! ! ; beach towels - NO! ! ! ; umbrellas - EXACTLY 7 small umbrellas on the beach! ! ! - and this is for 230 vacationers! ! ! ; There is 1 restaurant in the hotel - this is the DINING ROOM! ! ! 4 bars - FALSE! ! ! there is 1 - if you climb the stairs from the pool, not very far. But if you go up to it (the only one) from the beach and go down a steep broken iron staircase - it’s rather inconvenient.

There is NO bar on the beach. 1 outdoor pool - YES (chlorine stinks even if you just stand next to it). 1 water slide - YES. Works very rarely. safe at the reception - YES, PAID! ! ! wireless Internet Wi-Fi - YES, but not always, and only near the reception and in rooms located VERY close to the reception (the password is provided at the reception). Login to some social networks is blocked. For children, entertainment programs - 1 hour of the evening program of animators (the program did not change for 15 days). children's pool - YES (separated shallow area 1.5x3 m in the common pool); playground - IS, but miserable; mini club / children's room - NO! ! ! ; children's menu in the restaurant - NO! ! ! ; Recreation and Sports Darts - YES, chess - I DON'T KNOW, beach volleyball - for 15 days the animators called a couple of times to the volleyball court for a game. The area near the dining room, because on the microscopic beach, 30 sunbeds and 7 umbrellas fit with difficulty. Sauna - YES, FREE OF CHARGE.
bath - NO, hammam - IS, BUT PAYING; jacuzzi - 3 pieces of outdoor (near the sauna and hammam) dirty recesses with chlorinated water; in the evening with multi-colored illumination - therefore, at first they thought that these were decorative pools for beauty, but it turned out that during the day they sometimes turn on the air supply to them - and people sit in them, like in a jacuzzi. massage - YES, PAID; table tennis - YES (I don't know - paid or not); diving - YES, PAID (5 minutes of free study; 20 minutes = $ 20; + $ 18 for photos); animation - YES, 1 hour adult disco on site; at 23:00, life in the hotel stops, because the only bar is already closed by 22:00, the animators leave at 23:00 - they take those who wish to a disco in Alanya until 03:00 at night for $ 10 per person. In the evening, you can ask at the reception - and they will call a free bus from the nearest bazaar (they take you there / back with the opportunity to stay at the bazaar for 2 hours).
My own impressions (I will try to upload confirming photos): The hotel is located in the village of Karaburun. There is nowhere to walk. It's right on the highway. There are no shops, bazaars, illuminated streets nearby. Arrived around 12 noon. They didn't make me wait 2 hours for the check-in time. Looked 3-4 numbers. One is worse than the other. Each has its own problems. Selected with the fewest problems. We got a room in a bungalow. Bathroom - a moldy, unironed shower curtain, a non-working toilet bowl (they fixed it themselves), a current faucet (repaired on call on the 1st day), no paper (during the rest they asked for it at the reception several times), a hair dryer - there is, a broken soap dish, instead of a dispenser with liquid soap - open, without a lid, a third filled with a suspicious soapy liquid, a bottle of mineral water. There was no water for 3 days - then there was no hot water a couple of times; 1 day - none at all. Number.
The ceiling is wooden with rotten places from old smudges. The floor is an ancient torn linoleum thrown on the floor, crawling out from under the baseboards. The bed is old, it is impossible to sleep normally, because the springs are sticking out, we had to spread the blankets under the sheets. a separate component of the bed - the back - is nailed to the wall with a huge nail. Tiny TV, 2 Russian channels, shows disgusting. Refrigerator - tiny, fits 1 bottle of water and 1 kg of fruit. Air conditioning - for 2 days the shield was knocked out and I had to get up every 15 minutes and go to the front door to turn on the shield and only then turn on the air conditioner with the remote control. After 2 days of cursing and supposedly "repairs", apparently some powerful equipment was switched to another line, and the air conditioners finally stopped turning off on our bungalow line. Cleaning. The room was never cleaned for 15 days. A couple of times asked to remove - still not removed.

Towels and sheets were also changed only on request, they were given out wet, it was necessary to dry on the balcony. Balcony. There is. With one broken chair (instead of a table and 2 chairs). The territory is quite green and beautiful. But there are many dying, drying palms. Dining room - WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONERS! ! ! , the heat in it is terrible. Food - mostly vegetables and vegetable salads (cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes). There is - pasta, rice. There are never enough plates. There is no meat at all. There are soy sausages and soy sausage. For 15 days, 2 times cooked foul-smelling fish and stewed chicken, which was enough for the first 15 minutes of lunch / dinner. There is not enough food, there are not enough plates, cutlery, so people are forced to come to the canteen in advance and then break in line for dishes. Normal food seems only to a woman who came to sit on vegetables / fruits (like me, for example).
Of the fruits there were - one of the following: oranges (very sweet, tasty), watermelons (sometimes good, sometimes semi-green), apricots and plums (hard, inedible). with rotten steps, which soon someone will fall through. It is quite inconvenient to bring drinks from the bar to the beach using such stairs. And you can’t go up and down it. The beach is very small. The capacity of the hotel is 230 people, it was constantly full occupancy. 230 people on the beach - 7 umbrellas and 30 plastic sunbeds (half of them are broken) without mattresses and without beach towels. The shore is littered with huge boulders. The entrance to the sea was not safe. In the middle of the rest, several boulders were dragged away and thus made the entrance to the sea The bottom on the right - traumatic huge slippery stones: in the center - there are places with a more or less even bottom.
To the left on the beach - at the bottom and on the rock - clay. They say it's curative. People rub. So there are free spa treatments! ! )) THE WATER IN THE SEA IS EXCELLENT, CLEAR, AFFECTIVE, CALM. Bar one. Only on site. From alcoholic drinks only 2 - vodka and beer. Wine, cognac, etc. - never happened. Pour into tiny plastic cups of 50 ml. From soft drinks - cola, sprite, diluted dry drinks. We went to this hotel together for 15 days for 44 thousand rubles. That is, a fairly economical option. Next - it's up to you - whether to go to rest in this hotel.
