We rested in Dinler in the middle of summer. They immediately warned: it would be hot, but I had no idea that it was so hot... Therefore, we got up early. Right on the sea. It is gentle, warm - like fresh milk. In July there were a lot of Germans and they mostly rested by the pool, so there was almost no one on the sea. The beauty!! ! To be honest, I was afraid of sharks. No, it was not. In addition to small green fish, pleasantly biting our bodies, no one. The beach is good. There were enough sun loungers. Mattresses, beach towels - free of charge. There is a pier. When there were waves, we went straight from the pier into the water and went in and out of the water. For lovers of something unusual: there are rocks on the left outside the hotel. 15 minutes along the coast and exotic. You can take a picture below, you can go up the stairs - the view is wonderful. And the sea. . . emerald blue. Photos - class! . On the right, on the territory of the neighboring beach (free admission) - also a little exotic - the entrance to the sea on stone slabs, and boulders of stones at their pier. We climbed everything we can.
Games are constantly offered on the beach: volleyball, boccia, gymnastics. Children are taken to the club every day. There, under an awning, they draw with them, sculpt something. Moms are all under awnings. They offer to play children's bowl, darts. In general, children are very professionally occupied. That is what the hotel is famous for. In the evening: from 7-00 the music starts and the animators collect all the children on the stage. They begin to perform dance movements to various cheerful music. Children of different nationalities, without mothers and grandmothers, dance with such pleasure. . . I have never seen anything like it. Then the entertainment program for adults begins, but the kids all sit with the adults and watch. Only three-year-olds and younger are taken away (there are many mothers with strollers - with babies ???!!!! ). But there is no one at the disco. So, who wants to hang out at night, it's not in this hotel. It is for an active family holiday with small children or for older couples: those who go not to drink, walk, hang out, but just relax culturally. By the way, for the whole holiday we have never seen a drunk tourist (and not a tourist either). Although low-alcohol drinks were offered free of charge and constantly: in the bar, in the bar on the beach, there were barrels of wine on the territory of the hotel. But there were no drunks. Fed to death. All inclusive - all and ate. Many write: they are tired of watermelons, writing monotonous... There are a lot of dishes: you can’t count them. And for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There was not enough porridge (given that there are many children - porridge is not cooked) and I wanted soup. But I think everyone will agree with me that it can be endured. Watermelons are everywhere: in the hotel, on the beach: wash the kidneys, wash the stones! I added 5 kg.
In the room: air conditioning (we worked well, as soon as she learned to switch the temperature herself). Two beds. TV (I didn’t watch it - I’ll watch it at home). Bath, shower, hair dryer. Mini bar is paid. And why is it needed. We collected fruit drinks, water, sprite, cola, tonic, beer (all this in a huge amount for free) in bottles and put them in the bar to cool down. They took it with them in the morning. But on the beach everything is free and in a large number (the same cola, etc. ) My daughter drank hot chocolate from vending machines (free of charge) until she got drunk...

The hotel is 6 or 7 storey. We lived on the second floor with a sea view. Shampoo, shower gel, towel change - daily. The maid left 1 dollar. They didn't spin swans every day.
On the territory there are water slides, a swimming pool, two simulators (near the slides). I only went into the pool to take a picture. Water with chlorine. But, I repeat, foreigners and mothers with small children, only by the pool.
Excursions. We independently went to Alanya for shopping. Buses run constantly. Just passing by, they slow down. We went on our own, wandered around the shops. I found a towel for 10 lira. I regretted not buying enough. Now I'm wiping myself: it absorbs well, soft... It's just that when they offer more expensive, just like in network marketing, experiments show that for 10 lire it does not absorb water and hard and so on. Nonsense. Anyway.
The coolest excursion: Pamukalle (two-day: + Demre, Kekova). Do not spare money, go. On the road, do not sleep when you drive along the serpentine. We were all asleep. A girl from behind accidentally kicked me - I woke up. Here we saw this beauty together. Sightseeing in Alanya - normal.
In general, I liked the rest. Anyone who wants to relax decently, without fuss, especially with children, I strongly advise the Dinler hotel.
