Между небом и землёй Between heaven and earth

We thought for a long time whether to go to a barely opened hotel. We were preparing for a lot of inconveniences and shortcomings, we were ready to change our minds at the last moment, but we took a chance... And we did not regret it! : ))) With the exception of Koral, whose staff throughout the trip did everything in their power to screw up our vacation. But we didn’t give up on them : )), we just promised ourselves not to go anywhere else with this sharashka office.
The hotel turned out to be an island of abundance and luxury among the rather poor Alanya coast. Have you ever seen interior decoration with natural gold? And in volumes of many square meters? and we saw! Bravo to architects, designers and decorators. All and every five with a plus! Everything is ergonomic, stylish, slightly pretentious, but many people liked it. The performance, of course, limped, but this, unfortunately, is traditional for Turkey.
The food is excellent, the menu is quite varied. At a minimum, Turkish eggplant salads, a lot of human food: fresh vegetables, fruits, various herbs, grilled dishes, pastries, meat and fish dishes; who needs - diet food, kids - kinder buffet. Desserts are very tasty, and not all stupidly-same-tasteless-sweet, as is often the case in Turkey and Egypt. The bars have a good selection of liquor. For a smile, they will gladly prepare some simple cocktail, and if you award them with a conditional tip, they will go to great lengths.

I don’t know how it was necessary to behave there so that people were poorly served. Everyone was very friendly with us, new acquaintances were made in fluent English, everyone was smiling, even the maids, not to mention the waiters, and we parted ways with the animators in general. Service at a good restaurant level, although the food system is a buffet. Everything is new, clean, the tablecloths are ironed, the dishes are shiny. Coffee - natural from the coffee machine, sugar - brown, if you like, 7 types of tea, all this indicates a good level of the hotel.
I recommend to everyone to visit the spa. The prices are slightly higher than usual, but the quality of the procedures is quite high class. Genghis does an excellent peeling and oil massage. Taika performs Thai and Shiatsu well. The mud mask is of rather dubious usefulness, but it still comes "in the appendage", for free, so thanks for that.
The pool is spacious and the sea is nearby. True, the entrance is mainly from the pier, the beach is quite small. I was very pleased with the wicker beds on the lawn, huge pillows and bags stuffed with foam - just a buzz. You lie, sip BLUE ANGEL from the bar on the pier and catch yourself feeling that you are hanging between heaven and earth, or rather, between heaven and sea : ))) No one bothers with stupid ideas, but if you want to actively relax, there is animation near the pool. Everyone will be entertained. Also, in the heat (or cold), you can go to the gym, and from there - to the pool on the terrace, or to the sauna, and then to the indoor pool. Tennis or water slides, table tennis or darts or just eating ice cream. There are many good options for recreation.
In the evening, everyone disperses to their favorite places. The Germans are attacking bars, the Slavs are stuffing themselves with cakes in a restaurant, young people go to the pier to dance at a night disco, lovers can sit in romantic gazebos, or lay out seats and lie around : )) We chose the first, second, third, and then the fourth, and everywhere we felt wonderful.
It is a pity that neither memory nor camera can contain all our delight. It is a pity that people pay for a place to rest, and hope to find a reason for happiness there. And then they swear for a long time and obscenely on all kinds of sites. The reason for happiness must be sought in yourself and in those who are nearby, and Granada will definitely not spoil this feeling for you. I envy everyone who has a trip to Granada yet to come!
