Tour operator Anextour, took Fortuna 5 * Antalya coast all regions all inclusive, got to the Hedef resort and spa hotel. I will not describe in detail. The hotel is normal, the territory is small. I was pleasantly surprised that the hotel operates on the Ultra All Inclusive system, although we just paid for the ol.
One building - two wings, the standard room is good, we took a double + extra bed, one double bed and a full second bed, bath, plumbing, everything is clean, it worked properly. Balcony - table and two chairs, dryer, light. The room has a TV (1 channel, RTR, Russian music channel), air conditioning, hair dryer, a bottle of water.
There are two pools on the territory: one is a relax zone, the second is lower level, animation takes place there and is generally noisier. Another indoor pool in the spa area, Turkish bath, hammam, massage, hairdresser, etc.

Meals in the main restaurant, there are a lot of places both inside and outside, there is a lot of food, quite varied, there were no sweets at all, only butter cookies. Breakfast, lunch, tea break at 4)), and decent, the choice of pastries is impressive, not only a couple of types of cookies will be put and that’s all for you, dinner, night soup, ice cream every day from 12 to 16 is very tasty, not frozen water, but really tasty ice cream. There are three restaurants: fish, barbeque and some other, were only in the barbecue, located on the lawn under the open sky, very tasty barbecue and grilled vegetables, but there is nothing else to eat there. Bars: one 24-hour lobby in the main building on the ground floor; by the pool, at the relaxation pool - from 10 am until the end of the animation, the beach bar is open until 5, probably, you can also eat there during the day. Alcohol is like everywhere else in Turkey: sour wine, red, white, normal beer, whiskey, rum, vodka, there was a local Baileys, gin.
The beach is across the path, not across the highway, but through a small rarely driven path, you cross, you pass through the volleyball court and you go to the right, there is Hedef beach. The beach is covered with sand, the entrance to the sea is large pebbles, there is a large stone platform, it’s normal for adults, for kids, in my opinion, not the best option. There is a pier, stairs to the sea, you can go down there. The lifeguard is working.
Animation half live. In the morning they dance a dance, then there should be step aerobics, but we were so "lucky" that just during the days of our stay, the animator Dasha did not feel well and there was no aerobics. They play water polo, like darts, but I have never seen this, there is a mini club, they are engaged with the kids. There are two tennis courts, rackets, balls for free, you leave a deposit of $ 20, play, then return. There is a disco in the hotel - no stuffy room in the basement, no air conditioning, no people. Every evening, the animator takes those who wish to the Robin Hood disco in Alanya. $ 10 for the round trip (entrance there is free), at 23:30 you leave the hotel, at 3 o'clock in the morning you return. Fun enough, very crowded, but the atmosphere is positive, three dance floors. You can go out, go to any other disco or just take a walk along the embankment, the main thing is to return to Robin Hood by 3m.
There is free internet, there is a computer right next to the entrance, supposedly you can sit for 5 minutes to check your mail for free, for example. It is difficult to find him free, from the side you walk around feeling that one Vkontakte site is running on the computer! )

I advise you to take excursions, of course, not from hotel guides, but you leave the hotel to the right, you reach the path, to the right, you pass the neighboring hotel and you see a small shopping mall, there is a Bey tour travel agency, there is a wonderful man Yasar, speaks Russian, he will tell you everything, advise , drink tea. We went from him to the Turkish bath and a great tour on a pirate yacht - all day, with lunch and soft drinks all day, fun animation, contests, cool music plays all the way, landing in Alanya free time 2 hours - $ 20.
Not far to the left of the hotel is the bazaar of the village of Konakli, you can buy something, but the prices are not cheap, at the bazaar in Alanya the prices are the same, there is a shopping mall next to the hotel on the right (wrote above), you can look there.
The hotel is 80% Russian, Ukraine, Belarus. There are quite a lot of young people, and all because the hotel is never 100% full and you can always get a ticket here in 1-2 days (as most young people do) or get by luck.
That's all, the territory and the room can be seen well in the photo. There will be questions to ask.
