I'll start with the check-in, it looks like they are doing this trick with everyone (with the Russians for sure). First, they take you to a room on the first floor, almost a semi-basement with a "beautiful view" of the fence and air conditioning. Of course you wrinkle your nose and get offered a room with a better view for some thanks. So we got a room in a building by the sea, with a good view of the beach and the restaurant. $15 is all fun. I liked the room itself, clean, bright and comfortable. Killed only by the fact that electricity only works when you insert the key fob into the special. socket in the hallway, i. e. when you leave the room, the light goes out and the sockets do not work and, accordingly, the refrigerator in the room. I also noticed that at night they turn off the lights for a couple of seconds, so that the air conditioner would turn off if you left it on and went to bed. Savings must be economical.
Food - we didn’t notice much variety, but what we had suited us. Many write that the trouble is with meat, it is true, chicken and turkey, sometimes beef liver. Some more meat in vegetable stews, but I don’t really like them, so I haven’t tried it. I really liked the cheese, like cheese, we ate it every day. From vegetables, cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs, pickled cucumbers, cabbage, radishes, beets. Several types of salads. Olives, peppers, something else, I don’t remember everything. Every day eggs, boiled, fried, omelets with different fillings to your taste. Different pasta, rice, eggplant, zucchini, beans in the filling, potatoes for garnish. For dinner, they often fried trout, mackerel, very tasty, I recommend it. A couple of types of soups, such as mashed potatoes with croutons. A lot of pastries, cakes and various jellies for dessert. Watermelon, melon, apples, oranges and grapefruits from fruits. At lunch, ice cream, but somehow strange, viscous. The bar on the beach gives hamburgers, grandmothers fry gozleme - I also advise you to try. Of the drinks, various lemonades such as Jupi, iced tea are also no better, sodas such as fanta, cola and sprite. That's what I liked so it's ayran, he drank 2-3 glasses at a time. From free alcohol - whiskey, gin, vodka, locally produced cancer (not very) red and white wine (also not impressed) and beer. Many write that it is non-alcoholic, but I think it’s just weak, but quite pleasant.
Hamam is a separate topic. Sauna, Turkish bath, jacuzzi and swimming pool, all for free. Be sure to go to them for a massage. Teztour gives a discount coupon, for $ 30 you will get fabulous pleasure, skin cleansing, foam massage and massage with oils. But I want to warn you, if they tell you that the massage therapist has identified problems for you and you need to go to them for more massages, do not believe it. So they tell everyone, this is their bread. And it’s not even about money, you just need to pay right away, and if you still get burned in the sun, then you won’t have time for a massage.

The staff is good, almost everyone speaks Russian, of course it is noticeable that their attitude towards us is not the same as, for example, towards the Germans, but here we ourselves are to blame. Hotel guides Teztura are always ready to help, you never had to look for them, they are always there. Special thanks to Maxim for advising me to go rafting.
The territory is a sea of ​ ​ greenery, flowers and of course palm trees. Huge flowering ficuses, ripening limes and figs. Everything is well-groomed, trimmed, the grass is mowed, there is something to please the eye. Part of the territory with buildings and a large pool was sold to another hotel. Also, part of the beach now belongs to others, you can swim, but don’t touch the sunbeds)))
The beach is the biggest minus of Kö shdere, it is poorly cleaned, heaps of dried algae and other garbage thrown out by the sea. Of course, the bay is good for kids, but the water is worse updated and more dirty. Someone advised to go to the beach of other hotels, you can of course, but you have to go on the rocks. Many go to the edge of the bay to take pictures, there are waves and stones, picturesque, shoals of fish, crabs, but do not sit on the stones, there are some malicious algae and they burn very much. On the right there is a pier, sunbeds on it are paid, but you can immediately dive into clean water.
Shops - you can go to Alanya, the guides will offer to ride their bus for free, but they will take you to expensive shops. Apparently they have% of the sale. There are several shops near the hotel, I advise you to go to ALDI for souvenirs, its owner Ahmet is not impudent like many, he makes real discounts + he can pay with a card.
Well, that's probably all, have a pleasant stay in Kö shder!
