Realizing how difficult it is to choose a hotel for a holiday, I add my review : ) Do not judge strictly. I write as it is : ) I will try to be brief, in fact.
Location: The hotel is on the first line near the hotel there is a road, there is emptiness behind the road. In fact, this is a new strip of hotels and they are all on the first line. The road did not interfere. At least we didn't feel it at all. Not far from the hotel, a river flows into the sea, which made the water a little muddy. When we were in the place where it flows into the sea, we practically fell asleep. During our stay, the sea was a little washed out 1 time. So the water is clear. Naturally, it became a little cloudy when it was stormy. In general, a beautiful, warm, beautiful sea. Building and interior: The building itself is not bad. Everything is very harmonious. There is a bar in the lobby, there is an open area overlooking the sea. It's stuffy in the lobby. They spent little time there, mostly on the street.
Services: The hotel has a spa. Of course, the interior is weak : ) For example, a recreation area is right where the SPA reception is : ) But in general, you can walk. The massage was excellent. We ordered a full service for Hamam (Foam, peeling, massage) very much. In principle, you can walk by yourself for free, but you will also rub yourself : ) There are also shops in the hotel: leather, T-shirts, T-shirts, bags and jewelry. Prices are basically normal, although when you recalculate at the dollar rate, you get a little upset. They accept Euros, dollars, rubles and even hryvnias! ! : ) I recommend taking a little bit of everything, as they recalculate differently, sometimes it's more profitable to pay in dollars, sometimes in euros, etc. Not far away, 1.5 km away, there is Alanya Grand Bazaar, about which all guides politely keep silent when offering their shopping tours. You can go there. And save time and walk not far from the hotel. There is a tennis court (did not go). You can take checkers and chess (did not take).

Room: The room is cozy. Good furniture (not vulgarity of the 90s . . ) TV, refrigerator. Remember that when you leave the room and pick up the key, everything is cut down. The bathroom is good. Of course, you can find fault with the slightly yellowed seams, for example, but this did not bother us at all. The sink is large in stone. Large mirror, hair dryer, small makeup mirror. The balcony is big. Will comfortably accommodate 4 people. It has 2 chairs and a plastic table. The room has a cool bluish backlight : ) Romantic....: ) Air conditioning worked properly, individual.
Territory: Although not large, but very well-groomed. Everything is beautifully trimmed, a lot of flowers, palm trees - it was nice.
Beach and pool: The pool is large. All around in sunbeds. There are slides. They worked by the hour, everyone rode - both adults and children : ) Basically, everyone spent time there, since the entrance to the sea is rather difficult on the beach - pebbles. We liked it : ) because there was always a lot of space on the beach, even by the water, even under an umbrella : ) The beach is normal Umbrellas are fixed, but it's good, there is no chaos. There are sun loungers, no towels - you need to take your own. The hotel does not have its own pier. So lovers of jumping will have to walk 100 meters to the neighbor's. There are no problems with this. There is no bar on the beach, but it's not at all difficult to walk 150 meters to the hotel bar and take whatever you want.
Food and Drinks: Yeah. . definitely not for meat lovers. Chicken boiled, fried, steamed, stewed, smoked . . in general, you know what I mean. There was a trout fish. We had enough, but some may not like it. There are a lot of salads, there are ready-made ones, but you can also pick up whatever you want for yourself. A bunch of vyakih herbs and dressings for them. The garnish is mainly potatoes, vermicelli and cereals. There were soups. There are desserts. Mostly biscuits with cream (similar to protein), something like our "potatoes" and in bowls something like custard. Sometimes in the evening there was ice cream. For breakfast, pancakes were cooked in front of you. There was no sour cream, I used yogurt : ) Probably not enough fruit, but not a big problem. There was always a lot of watermelon, apples, plums, grapes in the evening. At 16:00 - donuts... oh, as I remember, my mouth is drooling . .

Drinks: you can't drink local cocktails... every time they beat at random. The most edible is Gin-Tonic and you can drink it and put it in : ) Coca-Cola and Fanta are excellent. Juices also can not be drunk - diluted UPI. Freshly squeezed - for money. Tea is delicious. There is a la carte restaurant. Like everywhere else - you will leave hungry : ) But it's worth going. Sit by candlelight, drink good wine, eat fish.
Service: the saddest thing in the hotel. We had a problem with accommodation. They tried to settle in another hotel that belongs to the same owner of Holiday Park. We said that we lie with the bones, but we will not go anywhere. The voucher was not given. With grief in half, we were settled and given a lousy room on the balcony of which blocks of neighboring air conditioners went out. I went to the reception, said thank you - they gave an excellent number at the very top. Brought 20 bucks to the reception. Apparently not enough, since the young lady, at any meeting with me, tried her best to express her displeasure. Of course, after the scandal with the settlement, they should have kissed our legs in general... but oh well. The waiters are not bad guys, but the owners don't care about them and this affects the service. They plow there 7 days a week. . Here is the result. The maids consistently forgot to shampoo, vacuum, etc. But it didn't really bother us. : )
Animation and kids club: I'm not a fan, and there were no children with us, so I'll tell you as an outside observer. The animation is weak, in the morning some incomprehensible body movements by the pool, then exercises. There were darts and volleyball games. In the evening, like a show - vulgar scenes at the level of school amateur performances. The kids club is not bad. The kids were always drawing, gluing, running around the hotel . . In general, they were somehow entertained there. There is a playground with a slide and a small swing. On Tuesdays - Turkish night, for dessert - oriental sweets, in the evening Show - belly dance and for some reason Georgian dances : )
In general, everything is very positive. There was enough food. The sea too. Didn't want to leave. The description is not very short, I hope it will help you in choosing : ) Have a good rest.
