Good afternoon to everyone who reads my review. In order not to be negative about the room, try to stay in rooms not on the first floor. These are rooms without a balcony, the balcony door goes directly to the path along which all vacationers walk. The sea is relatively clean, the entrance to the sea is not good (small unpleasant pebbles), but there is a pier and you can swim in clear water, away from the coast and where there are few people. The water is clear, the children dived all day and got coins from the bottom. The food is relatively good, the children were full, no one got sick. There are few fruits in the restaurant, but watermelons every day, very sweet oranges. But across the road from the hotel, in shops, five minutes walk, all the other fruits are for ridiculous money. 1 dollar strawberries, 2.5-3 dollars large cherries, apricots, peaches, everything you need.
The hotel is family run, but the animation is very weak. Perhaps this is one of the weakest sides of the hotel, although at the end of our holiday a couple of new guys arrived and are trying to rock it, but....You can’t jump above your head. Evening shows are very long, there is no disco in the disco bar. As pluses, one can note an amazing afternoon snack from 16-30 to 17-30. A huge number of cakes, biscuits, cookies and pancakes with chocolate cream. Here in how many hotels in Turkey I have been (and in several fives in Belek), nowhere was there such a tea party on a grand scale. Usually they will set one table for children with cookies and that's it. And here we were pleasantly surprised. Odeon tour guides are intrusive and extort you to take a tour from them. Do not be fooled by this, do not rush to buy these excursions on the first day, think, on the street across the road they are the same and 2 times cheaper, but the service is the same. The Turkish bath is weak. A peeling and massage session is $40, but this is also weak. Buy yourself a $1 exfoliating mitt and let your significant other exfoliate you. See how masseurs do it and go ahead. And eat the rest of $39 on fruits. It's healthier. There is beach volleyball, the football field is overgrown with grass and unusable. Feel free to buy a phone card to make calls. That in the hotel, that in the city they cost the same. When calling landline phones, a 4-dollar card was enough for us for all 2 weeks (they called all parents, employees and colleagues). There are no problems with the transfer. Extend the room for six hours (if the departure is late) - $ 30. I think it's ok. Drinking for lovers of alcohol - no. You can only drink beer (well, or already stock up at the airport) And whoever likes to drink should stock up for the whole vacation. In general, the sea is warm and gentle, since it is Alanya, it is inexpensive, the food is decent, the contingent is Russian, crests, and Turks. A lot of children. If you're lucky with the accommodation, then everything is Ok!
