Our time in Turkey Our time in Turkey

Our family loved our time at this hotel and would recommend it without reserve. When we arrived, we had no problem getting settled in within 10 minutes of waiting in the lobby. Very friendly staff. We have two children under 3 years old, and we had a great time. This hotel has a great little pool for the kids with a mini slide on it and our kids enjoyed it thoroughly. Also, the food menu had a great variety with fish almost every night. Meat whether lamb, beef, or pork were also regulars of which we enjoyed as well. Our room was on the fourth floor with a great view of the hotel property as well as the Green Hill Bay property next door as well. I took the opportunity to brush up on some free Turkish language lessons on the internet about a week before our trip making our time even more pleasant. We went to the city of Alanya twice during the 7 days we were there and purchased some souveniers and gifts and had some nice cultural experiences with some nationals near the open bazaar there as well as tasted some great olives. The Hotel offers some shops on the property, but they are very expensive. Prices are better in town. as we have small kids and in the afternoons they would take naps, but music by the pool during the day was really loud and kept our kids from being able to sleep, so we modified their sleeping times a bit. We spent the majority of our swimming time in the pool, only one day did we go to the beach in front of the hotel. We met one couple whose little boy (2 1/2 years old) had multiple bite marks over his body that his parents said were due to mosquitoes, but later, when we went to the beach and swam a bit, once we got out of the water, I started having similar bite marks on my body. Perhaps, something was in the water that caused this. I don't know. But, even a week after our trip my skin is still itchy. As the beach is set in a cove, unlike an open beach, there isn't steady moving water and bacteria and sea lice and other such things can get caught in a cove like setting and be very difficult to avoid. Or it could have been just a coincidence. All in all, it was very nice and relaxing.
