We chose the hotel ourselves. We were on a tight budget, so out of several options that were priced right for us, this one seemed to be the best.
10 days and 9 nights 2 + 1 at the end of June-beginning of July cost us 1100 dollars. Would rather not go there.
In general, the hotel corresponds to its low price. The reviews I read in advance gave the full picture and it turned out to be so.
Nutrition
If you are unpretentious in food and can live a week without normal meat, you can safely go to this hotel, you will not stay hungry.
From the meat several times there were chicken wings. The rest of the time unknown parts of the chicken. The husband called them "navels" and "butts". Almost every day there was fish in the form of some kind of stewed herring and fried small sprat. Doesn't taste very good. And all the time semi-finished cutlets.
Spaghetti garnish, pasta, rice, bulgur, lentils, mashed potatoes, stewed stuffed peppers.
Salads, greens all the time.

Sweets in the form of biscuits soaked in syrup and puddings came across quite tasty.
From fruits, we got watermelons, melons, apricots, plums, apples and oranges.
Didn't like the meal plan. If you don't make it on time, go hungry.
Breakfast from 7.00 to 10.00
From 11.00 to 16.00 in the bar on the beach there are french fries, rolls, cutlets, tomatoes, cucumbers, delicious rolls of pita bread with cheese (I advise you to stock them up in your room - they will come in handy).
Lunch 12.30-14.00
Coffee and sweets 16.30-17.00. But I would not take this meal into account at all. You have a unique opportunity to pour yourself coffee from the machine or tea and eat tasteless dry cookies (without the slightest hint of sugar).
Dinner 19.00-21.00
It turns out that if you come for lunch at 12.00, then you can eat normally not earlier than 19.00. For those with children, this is not very convenient. Too much time for a child.
And if you fed the child with dinner at 19.00 and went for a walk, having come from a walk, the child again has nothing to give.
In general, parents, keep this in mind. Many came to lunches and dinners with food boxes and took food with them. The hotel administration did not prohibit, although there is a sign with a ban on take-out.
At 23.30 there is another cream soup, but we did not try it.
Rooms
Rooms are tired. The rooms are small. We had everything in good order, but other vacationers heard complaints.
The safe is tiny, costs $2 per day.
A bottle of water is waiting for you in the fridge upon arrival. But this is a one-time attraction of unprecedented generosity.
The rest of the time you can drink water from the coolers, which are at the reception, the beach bar and in the dining room. The water is normal, the child also drank it.
Check-in from 14.00
In the season, even for money, they will not settle earlier simply because there is nowhere to go.
There is no left-luggage office, all things remain in the corner of the reception.

If you arrive at the hotel early, I advise you to eat first (why - I wrote above). Put swimsuits, panama hats and sunscreen in a suitcase in advance. And instead of boring sitting in the lobby for a few hours, head to the beach.
There are changing rooms and showers on the beach.
Beach
One of the key points why we stopped at this hotel is the proximity of the sea. No need to cross the road or go through the transition, as in many others. From the farthest building to the beach 300 meters. Bar right next to the beach - convenient.
The entire coast in this area is covered with stones and boulders, such a feature. Good sand was brought in expensive fives, stones were removed.
For a budget holiday, this hotel has a pretty good beach. Boulders in the water only at the edges. If you go to the center, there is only sand.
The sunbeds are quite far from the water and also tired. Particularly smart ones occupy them from the very morning, leaving a towel. And the smartest do not take this towel at all.
And in fact there is no one on half of the sunbeds, only towels. Feel free to come and clean up, something needs to be done with this soviet relic.
Wi-Fi
We can say that in this hotel it is almost non-existent.
I read in the reviews that vacationers used paid. But at the time of our vacation, he did not work.
Free is only at the reception. The password to it is the full name of the hotel in Latin letters (there is on the bracelet that is worn upon check-in).
Internet speed is very slow. Before 7 am and after 12 midnight you can still send a message with a photo. The rest of the time, even text messages are barely loaded. You can forget about skype communication.
Therefore, I advise you, when you drive from the airport and stay at other hotels, try to connect to their Wi-Fi. For all fives where we drove up, it was open and with a fairly good speed. You will have time to write a few words to relatives, as soon as you get there.
And just a few tips
If you leave the hotel and go right for about 15 minutes, there will be a shopping center. Open until 23.30.

It has a Migros chain grocery store. If you need something from the products, it is better to buy there. For example, water in a shop on site costs $1.30 cents in the supermarket.
I advise you to look at the Waikiki store. The prices are more than democratic and much cheaper than in the stores of this network in Kyiv. For example, men's and women's 100% cotton T-shirts cost 20 lire.
In the same shopping center there is a shop with cheap Flo shoes. Children's sneakers with luminous soles came out a little less than 3 dollars.
Try to go shopping before 20.00. Later - a raid of tourists, at the box office and in the fitting rooms there are huge queues.
All stores accept local lira, dollars, euros. At the time of our stay there, the exchange rate was 1 dollar = 4.6 lira.
Near the shopping center there are children's attractions. Pretty mediocre, but the child was happy.
If you walk a little further behind the shopping center, there will be a small playground, and then shopping arcades.
To the right of the hotel, a two-minute walk away is the bus stop to Alanya.
In general, I liked the rest. We knew where we were going, what the conditions would be, and they turned out to be so.
