Rested in San Haven from 15 to 23 May 2007. What can I say… this hotel is one of the best in its class in Alanya. Despite its 3+ stars, it is comparable in level to a 4 or even 4+. Now I'll try to explain why:
Firstly, the hotel has a good layout, a lot of greenery, developed infrastructure (there are shops, a sauna, an Internet cafe, a gym, 2 swimming pools with a good water slide, a dance floor, bars inside the hotel), spacious rooms.
Secondly, the hotel staff is quite friendly, many speak Russian. There are no complaints about the cleaning of the room, it was cleaned every day.
Thirdly, a very good animation team. All day long animators (Abdul, Saahan, Seko, Sergey, etc. ) entertain and turn on tourists. And how they give all the best in the evening on the dance floor is a completely different story. The program of animators is very diverse. A charge of vivacity is provided for everyone. Including children, of whom there were quite a few in San Haven. And this is no accident - every day the animators are busy with the guys.
Fourth - varied and tasty food. I read a lot earlier that there is little meat on Turkish tables, this is not true. There was meat every day, both in hot dishes and in salads (sausages). True, I didn’t really like their soups, marinades and salads seasoned with mayonnaise (or something similar), but as they say, there are no comrades for the taste and color. Tip - do not rush to the beginning of the distribution of food. And after 1.5 hours on the tables will be the same (and hot or warm). You can just be left without fruit or a piece of cake, which is quickly taken apart.
Fifthly, you don’t have to worry about the safety of your belongings on the territory of the hotel. Forgotten towels and clothes are stored by the staff in special boxes near the pool. And my cell phone, which I forgot to pick up from the Internet cafe, was brought to me in 20 minutes by the owner, who found me on the dance floor. Nothing was stolen from my room either.
Sixthly, there is a large beach with enough sunbeds. The beach area is also constantly cleaned. Also on the beach from 10 am to 6 pm there is a bar where you can constantly take beer, cola, water, french fries, hot bun with cheese (all this is naturally free). You can even not go to the hotel while eating, but sunbathe, visiting the beach bar.
Seventhly, the hotel is close to the village of Konakli (15 minutes walk) and the city of Alanya (12 km. ). So if you need to buy something, you can quickly get to these settlements. By the way, on Wednesday in Konakli market day. Here you can buy cheaper.
I will note some shortcomings:
- alcohol provided free of charge in the hotel is not very good. It seems to me that he is being bullied. For example, in beer, as the bartenders themselves told me, there are only 2-3 degrees of alcohol. So you need to take care of a good drink back in your homeland by buying a couple of liters of good alcohol (alcohol, cigarettes and gasoline are very expensive in Turkey). For example, 0.5 liters of vodka costs 16-20 bucks, a pack of cigarettes 3-4 dollars, gasoline - 2.5 bucks per liter.
- the entrance to the sea on the hotel beach is very inconvenient (large stones begin almost immediately), especially when the waves go to the sea. When you leave the sea, you can easily hurt yourself.
- excursions offered by the hotel guide Aslan from Pegasus, roads. On the street, not far from the hotel, a woman Sasha is sitting, who offers the same thing, but cheaper. By the way, it’s not necessary to tell Aslan about excursions that are offered elsewhere, cheaper, since Aslan immediately starts to get furious.
But in general, Turkey and San Haven left me with unforgettable positive emotions. I advise you to go on such excursions as: Pamukkale (lime terraces, Roman amphitheater, Cleopatra's pool, mausoleums, museums), Demre (tomb of St. Nicholas), rafting, ATVs, yacht tour by sea. And be sure to go to a real Turkish bath and go to a night Turkish (foam) disco with animators.
