We enjoyed our stay, but there were some downsides. Since we were driving for the first time, we did not know what to look for. Firstly, Alanya itself is far from the airport (until everyone was taken, it took at least 2 hours, or even more, then even to the hotel, all over Alanya for about an hour). Then the entrance to the sea. They read in the reviews - a stove, but what is it? It turned out that almost on the entire coast there are, as it were, pieces of "asphalt" that go into the water, consisting of the small pebbles that cover the beach. You can go into the sea, but it’s more difficult to get out, because strong waves (the Mediterranean Sea, they say, are rarely calm) and you can ride on this asphalt. Then they found the entrance to the sea cleared for another hotel and went in from there. The beach itself is quite wide, deserted, and clean (if you don’t pay attention to the nearby neutral zone) You have to walk 10 minutes to the beach (it’s not the first line) and you need to cross a rather busy highway (this is the biggest one, along with a bad descent into sea). The hotel is quiet, moderately clean, cleaned every day, linen changed every 3 days. The staff is responsive, until the matter concerns resettlement. If they do not have available seats, they can behave aggressively. We can say we got off with a slight fright, they brought us to 2 places. room (me and 3 children) with one bed. Right now, they speak in an incomprehensible Russian language, we will bring a cot and live. While I was trying to get through to the tour operator, I found a normal number. People gave $10-15 each, or boycotted their proposals in the lobby for several hours. I was impressed by their ability to forget the Russian language at the right time. They did not find any entertainment on the territory of the hotel (they didn’t even try), they took out those who wanted to go to discos in the evenings. The surrounding area itself is missing, the pool is small, without slides, but it was enough for us, we went a couple of times to "Klas dom" (their hotel, more starry on the next street, should be allowed free of charge), they had a ride on the slides, but my children liked it better our humble pool. You can find a lot about food in other reviews - everything suited us, but people who were in 4-5 * said "there is nothing to eat. " Ice cream and fruit bought in the store, because. because in the restaurant there were only watermelons and melons, and even then they were not always sweet. Was on the market twice - a kind of extreme. First you need to find out in general how much in neighboring stores, try to bargain, in short, try to find out what the real price of this or that product is, it is not always cheaper on the market. Especially souvenirs, by the way, in the immediate vicinity of the hotel there is a good variety of souvenir shop and well throws off. There are NO leather bags on the market! checked. Bought in the store. Why put a pretty high rating? Because it's cheap and cheerful!
