I’ll write a review too) I read other reviews before leaving, I’ll write my own. I must say right away: we went to rest, warm ourselves and swim in the sea with our daughter. Rested from September 26 to October 3. The UIA flight is at night, it is quite difficult without sleep, the plane is dirty and with very narrow distances between the rows. We still somehow fit in, our neighbor was sitting sideways with his feet in the aisle. Transfer: we were dropped off first after 1.5 hours, by the way, and picked up last, which is very convenient. At the reception were at 6 o'clock in the morning. Tired and sleepy, they filled out a questionnaire and we were offered to leave things in a storage room and go to breakfast and the beach before settling. The storage room shocked me: a key on a $10 deposit does not guarantee the safety of things, because it opens all the cabinets and in each cabinet the things of several families. That is, open bags can be easily inspected by strangers. This upset... After breakfast, we decided to sit at the reception on the Internet,
but it did not work - neither free nor paid. This was frustrating again. Plus, the fatigue from a sleepless night was superimposed. On this frustration ended) At 11.30 (instead of 14.00) the administrator approached us and offered to settle. But not in the room that we booked, but in Moonlight. When I bought the tour, I specifically paid a couple of hundred dollars more so that it was not in Moonlight (it was cheaper). I told the administrator about this, she changed the key in 5 minutes and apologized. ROOM : excellent, 5327.3rd floor. Large, spacious, large beds with excellent mattresses. Side view of the sea, buildings and mountains. Everything worked, the air conditioner did not turn on. In the bathroom, the water really poured on the floor when taking a shower, but this is nonsense. The safe is paid, we did not take it. Cleaning is weak, the maids can't cope, but it didn't matter to us. At home, I don't dust every day either. The garbage was taken out - and okay) MINUS: towels on bail, return of towels only with a receipt,
change of towels 3 times a week at certain hours. SEA: super-super-super))) clean, warm. The beach is big. Despite the fact that there are a lot of people and many, according to the stupid tradition, take sunbeds for the whole day, you could always find a free pair of sunbeds. Pebbles are small, shoes for the beach did not get out of the suitcase - walking is not stressful. I can hardly imagine how people here endure in the summer: we didn’t really need umbrellas in September, but how can we withstand a temperature of 40 degrees? These umbrellas do not give shade, only a small patch that moves all the time, you won’t walk around with a sunbed) INTERNET: hmm..... what is free, what is paid... at free, in the room did not catch at all, sometimes caught on the beach. In the lobby, she had to sit on the stairs, because he did not "reach" the chairs. This is a serious shortcoming, because the Internet is very necessary. TERRITORY: very well maintained, pleasant, clean. The beauty.

POOLS: did not visit, because even the guide warned that because of coxsackie, a triple dose of chlorine was poured there. But they are large, there are many free sunbeds. There are few people on the hills. FOOD : ))) It is interesting to look at people who write that there is nothing to eat))) I was in the top five, I can compare. Yes, I agree, there are no frills. But the food shaft : from fast food to normal meals. A lot of fruits. Baking is the same type, rather weak. But you won't be hungry for sure. I repeat what has already been written many times: inconvenient opening hours for ice cream, gozleme and hamburgers. That is, either-or: either lunch or fast food - they are almost at the same time at lunch. Alcohol. . . well, it didn't matter to me, I took beer sometimes, as if non-alcoholic) Good coffee is brewed in the bar, you can always get high with a cup of coffee, enjoying the beautiful view. Observation: in the bar on the 2nd floor, where coffee is brewed, for some reason the girls who brew it are emphatically unfriendly. Unlike the rest of the hotel staff.
WHAT I WANT TO WARN ABOUT: this does not apply to the hotel, but it will be useful. I'm talking about Alara Bazaar outside the hotel. And this is not only my opinion: we talked about this with many tourists, many faced the same situation. Very aggressive sellers in the market. If you have the imprudence to say that you don’t like what they poke you in the nose (in our case, shoes), they start yelling aggressively and pushing you out of the store. I tried on several pairs of shoes - the size did not fit, mine was not. So the seller yelled that you were trying on shoes here and you HAVE to buy... stupor... what to buy? If there is no size and at his request, I measured 2 sizes more. They pour mud on each other, call prices 5 times too high. In general, we went 2 times, spoiled our mood and decided not to go there again. The vendors used to be friendly. Now - very aggressive and inadequate. Yes, and the road to the bazaar is dumb: through dark streets and a dark underground passage...
SUMMARY OF THE HOLIDAY: we liked everything, from the room to the food. I fondly remember Justiniano, the sea and the sun. If I sent my parents, I would recommend him to them. Everywhere you can find a lot of flaws, I agree. But we had a great time. Thanks to Justiniano staff) Victoria and Anna
