We rested at the end of the season, there were already few people, the weather did not indulge. On the first day there was a real storm and the shortcomings of the beach were immediately revealed. It’s not realistic to enter the sea, and it’s not fun to swim near the shore in the waves, besides, after 5 minutes of my attempts to swim, bartenders with sirens flew in and began to dissuade me. At the same time, we walked along the shore to the left and there, on the beaches of other hotels, children splashed merrily in the waves. The problem with Dimond Hill Beach is that the depth immediately begins abruptly. It's definitely not for kids. There are large pebbles in the sea, the sand on the beach is gray from a quarry, but not sea. But there is a bar, snacks and a toilet. The beach is not as small as it seems, there is where to lie on the sand.
The hotel itself looks brand new, the rooms are interesting only on the upper floors, because. around the city and houses. Everything is fine in the room, a free safe, new furniture, brand new plumbing, although for several days their soul stank of sewerage, but then it seemed to stop. With cleaning, the girl did not particularly try despite the tip. Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. No problem during the day, worse in the evening.
The staff are great, unobtrusive and friendly. We went to the hotel for a rooftop bar, and it was already closed until spring, so we chatted the guys and took us there on a tour. It's really cool there. Gorgeous view of the lights of Alanya.

The food is not 5 star, everything is tasty but without frills. I was pleased that there was always a slave, and sometimes even two types. With fruits, too, everything is fine, there are already two types of grapes, melons, pears. Of course, it’s also convenient that they are fed almost around the clock, you can safely walk until late, you won’t go to bed hungry. But also not without flaws, there is no black tea at night, only fruit from bags. Red wine from bottles, not bad.
The location of the hotel is very convenient for buses 1 and 101 (stop on the left on the embankment) you can get to Cleopatra Beach in 15 minutes and 2 lira. Two blocks to the right there is a market on Thursdays, everything is there and very cheap. You can walk along the seashore to the left, you will have to ford the river, this can be done closer to the sea. On the right, you can walk along the coast to Alanya.
The guide at the hotel Svetlana liked the fact that she did not try to sell expensive excursions, they asked her to find out if they would give a kayak for rafting, she called everyone, did everything she could, but unfortunately the group did not get enough.
The most interesting place in Alanya is of course the fortress. You can get there by bus. The entrance fee is 15 lire, but it's worth it, the view of the sunset is amazing, we went there twice. And you can go down along short paths that will lead to the embankment from the side of the fortress opposite the beach. On the way, you can visit a restaurant where for 100 liras you can eat seafood looking from a height at the evening Alanya and the rising moon.
Even at the stage of reading reviews about the hotel, I was intrigued by Kamal, whom everyone writes about. We met Kamal on the very first day and for some reason we immediately recognized him, although we had never seen him before. He offered tea and did not sell any excursions. It turned out he was just a good person, a Turk, but ours from the USSR, very pleasant and hospitable. Therefore, in the evenings, Russian tourists are so fond of gathering with him. Kamal has Husky dogs and bicycles, which he gives to ride those who took excursions, by the way, the prices for excursions are quite humane. We went to the survey in Alanya, and in Side. And either is normal. It is also better to change the currency with Kamal at the exchange rate.
In general, the hotel is not 5 star but quite decent. You can go.
