Красивый отель на первой линии для семейного отдыха, на 5* не тянет, Wi-Fi никакой Beautiful hotel on the first line for a family holiday, 5 * does not pull, no Wi-Fi

In short, the hotel is beautiful, on the seashore (does not reach full 5 *), a large clean pool with slides (chlorine is normal, but cold), a large restaurant, partly open, partly in the building. Clean, warm sea. The beach is with small pebbles, but the entrance is not convenient everywhere. There is a small animation and show programs. The staff are all friendly, with the exception of a few hard workers. Suitable for a quiet family vacation. Lots of retirees. Not suitable for noisy youth, because there is little territory, entertainment and weak Internet. Go to Alanya for half an hour on the Konakli-Alanya bus number 50 for 4 lira. On the way to the stop, you will see several department stores where, in addition to souvenirs, there are household chemicals, clothes, goggles, masks, flippers. The hotel has a number of limited-stock shops. Most vacationers are from Russia and Ukraine, there are from Eastern Europe, the Baltic states and a few Germans. The staff speaks English, some Russian and German.
We went in the first half of October 2018 with a family of 4 people. We were lucky with the weather, there was only one rainy day. Later, at the end of the season, it gets colder, it rains more often and the service at the hotel worsens. We drove from Antalya airport at night, got to the hotel at 0:30 (By the way, you don’t need to change the currency at Antalya airport with Global Exchange. The dollar exchange rate is 5.1 lira there, at the hotel 5.5, and in the city 5.7). The voucher indicated standard room ROH (Run Of the House), they settled quickly, for an extra charge they settled in a family suite with two rooms, balconies and sea views. Surcharge 8 USD per day, but tradeable. The rooms are better in the main building from the 2nd to the 5th floors, and on the top 6 there is a cramped balcony and it's hot. There are two more small cases, but they look worse. A good room will add to the pleasure of relaxation, and if the view is towards the backyard, then there may be noise from cars, the smell of the kitchen, etc. The room has two air conditioners, two refrigerators, a hairdryer, liquid soap and a safe (for an extra charge). There are no bathrobes and slippers.
Cleaning every day, but not thorough, dust and debris under the beds as it was and remained. Beach towels are provided for the entire stay. Replacement for a clean one costs 1 euro, loss 10 euros. There is only one key card (with a chip) from the room, and without it, the electricity in the room is cut off.


The food is varied, sufficient, but inexpensive. There is meat, eggs, fish, cheese, salads, bread, sweets, honey in combs, etc. Junk food (aka junk food, fast food) is always there, but there are always dietary unsalted side dishes: rice, potatoes. Drinks are cheap. From vending machines, powdered coffee, cola, etc. , black tea in large bags in teapots, low-quality red and white wine (a lot of water and alcohol). Powdered cold tea and brewed black tea turned out to be the most delicious (so that it is not hot, you can add cold water from the machine). The à la carte restaurant on the second floor is closed. Bars on the territory with similar drinks, light beer (not bad), vodka, whiskey.
Glasses are plastic or paper. Other drinks 5 euros. There are french fries, hamburgers, tortillas, watermelon (unsweetened), pizza (tasteless).
Lunch boxes at the entrance, excursions, departure are not provided, so you need to take food in the restaurant yourself in advance, although this is not according to the rules. At night, in a restaurant, besides bread, it is difficult to find something.

The sea water is very clean and warm. The bay has an underwater barrier, due to which the water is noticeably warmer than on the beach nearby. The pebble beach is not bad, but crowded, because it is for two hotels of the same owner. There are not enough sun loungers in the morning. But to the left of the breakwater there are already few people, then a half-empty foreign beach, and behind it an empty wild beach. In the bay, the entrance to the sea is on pebbles, and to the left there are flat stones, but you can carefully go in looking under your feet. Nothing interesting under the water. Gray fish, stones, pebbles. There are a lot of scattered concrete blocks, metal pipes and an I-beam on the edge of the bay, but it's all deep.

During the day it is always quiet and calm, at night you can hear show programs and non-crowded discos. Of the noisy ones, there was one case with young people who apparently did not have enough money for a hotel in a big city. In the evening, a group of boys and girls who had just arrived drank vodka by the pool, smoked, and made noise. The people at dinner looked at them like they were idiots. Then they started throwing each other in clothes into the pool, pulling, throwing again, running. They thought that the Russians, but no, from the Baltic states.

Wi-Fi only works near the reception and at the fence on the floor above, slow and disappears. Not suitable for voice and video calls. Normal internet only when the hotel sleeps from 11 pm to 7 am and five people sit at the reception. This is a big minus, in the evening you won’t talk and work. And the Wi-Fi of neighboring hotels is visible throughout the territory.
Souvenirs are better to buy in Alanya, and at the end of the holiday in the shop on the corner near the hotel, buy Turkish delight roll by weight for 6-8 dollars / kg (or for the remaining lira). It's cheaper and tastier than boxed. Although the bus in Antalya in front of the airport will stop for 15 minutes at a large store, where the choice of sweets is huge, but the prices there are 3-5 times higher.

In general, they were satisfied with the rest, because they initially counted on a budget family option on the first line.
