Турция, Алания, Justiniano Club Park Conti 5* Turkey, Alanya, Justiniano Club Park Conti 5*

Rested from 17.06 to 01.07. 07.
Good hotel for families. We traveled with 2 children - daughter - 14 years old, son - 8 years old. We took a family room, lived in the main building on the top floor, a side view of the sea and neighboring hotels (although many wrote in the reviews that family rooms are only in bungalows). Minus the room - the air conditioner is in the room with a balcony, and in the first room it is very stuffy, there is no window and the door between the rooms had to be kept open. We were well cleaned every day, for the entire stay the mini-bar was filled 3 times, the towels were fresh every day, in general, we have no complaints about the maid.
Food: maybe quite monotonous, but the choice is large, freshly squeezed orange juice in the morning - drink as much as you like (some of our fellow citizens poured it into bottles from under the water - a shameful sight), after breakfast, they start frying cakes near the pool, next to them - hamburgers, potatoes fries, salads, then lunch - we first went, and then began to dine at a fish restaurant on the beach - from 12 to 14 they cook shawarma, salads, hot, watermelon, melon, sweets, well, in general, the same lunch but with less choice. In the evening, dinner in the restaurant - fish, chicken or turkey, liver, minced meat. peppers, side dishes, salads - everything is full, there is plenty to choose from. As for fruits - watermelon, melon, plums and apricots (the latter were sorted out by more nimble fellow citizens who broke into the restaurant at exactly 7 pm and collected full plates). We bought ourselves apricots, cherries 50 meters from the hotel, near the tour desk, went to the sea, so we saw no reason to be on duty at the restaurant in order to snatch something. Coffee - unfortunately there is no good coffee in the hotel. The only place to brew espresso is the Rose bar in the main building, but that's not much better either.

Alcohol - we tried only wine - a normal table wine of local production, in bottles. They didn’t drink anything else - they didn’t want to.
The sea is very clean, the beach is good, there are small pebbles at the entrance to the sea, the sea is deep, we went from the pier, both of our children swim well, so there were no problems. It is not very pleasant to enter from the shore, the pebbles are small, the legs fall into it, so if you want to bask in the shallows, think about it. There is sand on the beach, wooden footbridges are laid, by lunchtime the sand heats up - you can’t walk without slippers. Nearby there is an island - they swam on it on a catamaran - it is interesting to wander, but you should definitely take slippers, the stones are sharp.
In the evening there is a children's disco at the hotel, then a program for adults. If the show is dance - we liked it, if there are some skits, then they are for the Germans, jokes below the belt. An example - we took tickets at the hotel for the Fire of Anatolia performance at the ancient theater in Side. I highly recommend it - a magnificent spectacle, based on the myth of Prometheus, the troupe with this production traveled around 50 countries of the world, 2 hours before the performance the theater (12 thousand spectators, the guide said the number) was packed, we managed to sit almost in the center in the aisle on steps. The cost at the hotel is $ 40 (they took it from mostrevel), from our guide - 45... , Turkish agencies do not sell at all. Traveled with my husband, the children left in the hotel. We returned very satisfied in the evening, in the morning the children say that there was a wonderful, fun program, they chose Miss Conti Park. the title had to go to the people and collect things, whoever gives what, for an ordinary thing they gave 1 point, for a bra 5, and for underpants 10... And they brought it, and the presenter measured everything on himself and everyone had a lot of fun... ( do not think that my husband and I are prudes, we like to have fun, but all the jokes are from this series).
Animators start working in the morning, there are always some games by the pool, water gymnastics, belly dancing, etc. , etc. Our daughter was always on the go. In general, for children and parents who want to take a break from them - a great place, we saw our youngest child 3-4 times a day, he had breakfast with us, and then he had to be caught either on the slides or in the large pool (I will make a reservation - our son goes in for sports and swims very well, we were not afraid to let go), then in a bar with boys like him. There is nowhere to go from the territory, there are always some games in the mini club.

Excursions: we took the KAS tour (Aspendos Antique Theatre, Kursunli Waterfall, Side) - all this is beautiful, but keep in mind that you will spend half a day in the center of carpets, then leather and gold. And see all the sights at a gallop. And if you are told that you will be at the hotel at 17.00, then it will most likely be 20.00. Well, maybe we were so lucky, but I think that this day was stolen from us (1.5 hours in the center of the carpets, then 2 in the skin - where everything costs more than in St. Petersburg at the beginning of the season), and then 30 minutes to the waterfall, theater and Side, and the driver also needs to eat 3 times a day, we were taken almost last, and people from Alanya traveled 1.5 hours, collected everyone in hotels...
Rafting - we really enjoyed it. I don’t remember who left the phone of the person through whom they ordered excursions last year, thank you very much, we also used it and are very satisfied - all excursions are cheaper than through the travel agency behind the hotel, the buses are comfortable and the river is the same. We took for 15 dollars, sailed next to us for 20 and 35.
I leave the phone number: +905324546496 Zakhar - we left a text message, the name of the hotel and the room number - he called us back, we ordered rafting, then we went to Mira Kekova, we really liked the guide - this tour was very interesting and without visiting shopping centers (we left the hotel at 5, arrived at 18.00) - sailed on a yacht to the sunken city, swam in the sea, then looked at the necropolis, an ancient theater in the mountains. Peace and Church of St. Nicholas. The cost through Zakhara is 35 dollars for adults, a child -17. We also asked for it and they left us seats on the bus right behind the driver. In general, we really liked the guide and a day later we went to Pamukkale (although we didn’t intend to go there at all - it’s very far). In one day we looked at the red springs, and spent 3 hours in Pamukkale (ancient city, Cleopatra's pool, travertines). We went to auction 2. center, but without tension - in one 45 minutes, in the other 30, we were still at the wine tasting. In general, for one day the program is very rich, the bus is new, very comfortable, the drivers were careful. Cost - $ 30 adults, 15 children under 12 years old. We paid for all excursions on the bus.
We went to Alanya on our own, walked along the promenade, went to the tower. They didn’t go up the fortress - a taxi is a little expensive, and a bus runs every hour from the mosque next to the embankment for $ 1, but we found out later.
In general, we consider the rest to be successful, the hotel corresponds to the money paid, this is of course not 5 stars, but a solid 4.

And finally, about the tour operator: Unfortunately, on the way to the hotel, an indistinct information about the country was given (more is written in the memo to the tourist), there was no guide when we were placed at the hotel, although we had some difficulties, cat. I had to decide on my own, on the way back to the airport there was an accident on the road and we stood for about 20 minutes, after that we are informed that there will be another stop at the confectionery center for 20 minutes (where everything is 3 times more expensive than at the hotel ), we ask - when the registration begins, in response we hear - it has already begun, but then 10 minutes. And although many on the bus were indignant and said that they would like to fly at the beginning of the plane, this did not bother anyone, we were brought there anyway, no one bought anything, we arrived at the airport, registered at a gallop, also they quickly ran into duty free and when they paid for a bottle of cognac, screams rushed from the speakers - passengers flying to St. Petersburg, urgently go to the landing. We ran to the exit almost the last...
