vacation in ideal beach (alania)

Written: 22 june 2010
Travel time: 8 — 18 june 2010
Who does the author recommend the hotel to?: For a relaxing holiday; For families with children
If this hotel had 3 stars, then most likely there would be much more satisfied ones. Up to 4 stars, the hotel lacks normal food and animation for adults. If in order.
Rooms: In principle, decent enough in size. As a rule, 3 single beds, TV, refrigerator (of course, empty), bedside table, wardrobe. But we had very old plumbing in the room... They cleaned the rooms very well. The view from the rooms is of the sea and the pool, so if you like to go to bed earlier, this is unlikely to work, there is almost no soundproofing, until 11 you will listen to music from pool bar.
Territory: Almost none. Restaurant, swimming pool for adults, one slide (although it is designed for children, at least with my 50 kg. The stream of water did not bleed, I had to help with my feet, but the children are fine). The children's pool is very small. A one-year-old child does not reach the waist. In the basement there is a sauna and a gym with several exercise machines. A visit to the Turkish bath is $ 35, but those who went say that it’s not a pity. In a neighboring hotel, a bath for $ 25. But you can find it cheaper if you want. There is a tour desk next to the hotel.

Beach: small, through an underground passage. The entrance to the sea is good, in the sense that 1.5 meters from the shore it already hides with its head. There are pebbles on the beach, there is no sand, but to some extent it is even better. The sea is clean, as the hotel is far from the city. There are 60 sun loungers, so if the whole hotel goes to the beach, of course, there will not be a place for everyone. True, we came at 8 am and calmly occupied sunbeds, though in the 3rd-4th row. In the bar, the assortment is limited - two types of juice concentrates, water and beer. The bartender, if you ask, also has a sprite and cola (Turkish production). There is also a dressing room and a shower.
Food: very monotonous and not rich. For lunch and dinner, 4 hot dishes, of which, at best, one of chicken or fish. Salads are mostly different variations of cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs and cabbage. From baking - 3-4 dishes, and one cake with whipped cream is a must. In general, you will not stay hungry, but there is nothing to choose from, you cannot compare it with other four-star hotels in Turkey. In terms of food, the hotel is a solid trio!!!
Staff: in principle, as everywhere. Almost everyone understands English and Russian, but only if you have no complaints!! ! By the way, at the reception they often "forget" to order a lunch package (the case is not a single one), so if you go on an excursion at night or early in the morning, take care of yourself.
Entertainment: almost none, children's animation until 10 pm, disco in a nearby hotel (free entrance, drinks for a fee). If you wish, you can go to Alanya by bus for 2 lira and get there for half an hour.
Composition of vacationers: The main mass - from Ukraine (more than half), a little from Russia, Poland, Germany and Turkey.
Hotel guides: there are 3 tour operators in the hotel - Odion (coral travel and sanmar), Tez tour and Karya tour. Guides Tez tour and Karya were seen every day, so if you go with these tour operators, they will help you solve your problems. Guide Coral Travel for a week nobody !! ! did not see, had to call to come. So, if you are relaxing with coral travel or sanmar - get ready to solve your problems yourself!!!
In general, families with children can relax in the hotel (prada, there may be certain problems with the nutrition of babies, but there is a Beam supermarket relatively close by, where you can buy cottage cheese, yogurts and juices). For the money it's worth, note that there are triples that cost a lot more. Young people will probably be bored, although it all depends on the company. Have a nice holiday!!! !
