Отдых замечательный, гостиница желает лучшего! Rest wonderful, the hotel wishes the best!

Hello everyone who reads my review. I will try to tell everything as I saw it - with all the pluses and minuses. Rested from 12 to 18 September. Starting from the airport and throughout the rest, the attitude was normal, “they didn’t wear it on their hands, ” as some tourists write, but they also didn’t see or hear rudeness, neither in relation to themselves, nor in relation to others. We were welcomed at the hotel with a smile. Settled in 20 minutes. The hotel "pulls" for 3 stars, but there were 3 * nearby, much better, and 4 * and generally chic and the difference of 1 * was somehow not perceived (I don’t know the criteria for assigning stars in Turkey, we would have such a 3 * hotel did not give - poor thing). The room was overlooking the patio with the pool. The pool is old, uncomfortable around, like the room (312). Cons - the shower door is broken, all the water pours behind the shower cabin when washing, there are no glasses for toothbrushes, there are no glasses at all in the room, in the shower fungus, although even at 3 * you can wash this thing, because the first rule for all hotels, despite the stars - cleanliness !!!!! , TV - stands on the counter like in a prison cell, you still need to learn how to turn it on - if someone gets into this room - the first button twice, next. book. once and 3rd button once - everything is included!!!! ! Sand on the floor - this is probably the norm - they clean up rather poorly. The air conditioner worked properly. Towels had to be changed 1/3 of the day. But by my perseverance, they changed it on the fifth day. Garbage was taken every day. Tual. paper was laid down every day. The bed was not changed, only made up, although I did it in my own way, and they did it in their own way. During our vacation, the locals had a holiday and under our windows they made a fire and roasted a lamb.... nearby residential buildings.....Well, as promised - all the pros and all the cons. It's not the same for everybody. Immediately, after settling in, we were a little upset and dinner seemed to us very poor...... but after lunch we went to the beach, by the way, a big plus is that the hotel is on the first line !!!!!! , then they came for dinner, yes, not gorgeous, but there was everything not to stay hungry - the first - mashed soups, the second potatoes in different variations, pasta, rice, chicken, meatballs......... , various salads, grilled vegetables, olives, fresh, pickled vegetables, cheeses, ham (one kind of normal color, and the other unimportant, as if the paints were mixed, but people ate nothing), boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, milk porridge in the morning , not a lot of desserts - shortbread cookies in honey syrup and chocolate cakes, honey, melon, grapes, plums, apples, watermelon, grapes....... Well, how can you stay hungry.....No, of course!!!!! ! On the bar wine, beer, vodka - drink as much as you want, Sprite, Fanta, Pepsi, tea, coffee....... what else do you need! The staff is friendly!!!! ! The only thing is that I throw away broken dishes at home, in this hotel they use broken, cracked dishes - it's ugly! Well, in principle - oklimatizirovalis! We came to rest!!! ! After dinner, we walked along the promenade - everything is chic, clean, everything is buried in greenery!!! ! There are many cats in the city, since I love them very much - I was pleased and there are special "feeders" for them right along the promenade - food, fresh water is always in plates, and for dogs as well. Even toilets for dogs are special, well, if the dog is with the owner. So in Turkey they care not only about tourists, but also about animals !!! ! The beach is sandy, the hotel does not have its own beach, we were opposite the hotel on the city, unfortunately, the beach is not cleaned, there is a lot of garbage !! ! the entrance to the sea - concrete is poured, but we got used to falling several times, knocking down our knees, but this is nonsense - after all, our knees were knocked down in the Mediterranean!! ! The sea is clean, not the right word, I specially typed water from the sea into a bottle of mineral water before leaving and brought it home so that my friends could see that there was still such crystal clear water - everyone was delighted (I am writing a review on October 20, still standing in the open bottle, as if you had just taken it). The first days it was stormy, but this did not affect our mood in any way, we still swam. The last days the sea was calm and very warm. By the way, we were on 12.09, and friends - 14.10 - it's still warm, the sun is hot, you can rest until the end of October, and maybe longer. Separately about excursions. There are no special attractions in Alanya. For a week of rest we went around almost all of Alanya. Wherever we rest, we do not lie all the time on the beach and do not stick out at the bar - we always walk a lot, walk, consider how they say "how people live"! In the evening we "wound" 4-5 km. from the hotel towards the fortress of Alanya and beyond.... the same way in the other direction, a little less by km. , and also back to the hotel 4-5 km. So we looked at everything ourselves. But still, at the suggestion of the hotel guide on the last day of rest, we went on a "Sightseeing tour of Alanya", for two it cost $ 70. They took them near the hotel, brought them to a fur and leather store, under the pretext that there is a gathering of tourists from all hotels here to transfer to one big bus, well, for one, someone can buy a fur coat). Then we went to the supermarket (everyone, of course, was indignant about what kind of a tour of the shops it was, but these are the rules of the travel agency (PEGAS). But after all these indignations, some tourists left the supermarket with bags, still could not stand it - they bought something! - We arrived at the fortress of Alanya - we stood near the entrance, the guide told a little history, took pictures, that's the whole tour of the fortress, although the guide promised that we would be led along the fortress along the walls, there are special paths. Did not happen. We went to a cafe for lunch. Even on the bus, the guide said that the dinner would be a la carte and that we should order in advance who would have chicken or trout for garnish. Since the hotel never served fish, we, like many others, ordered trout....... In the cafe we ​ ​ were all seated at the same table, like at our wake, sorry, they immediately put salad and bread. We sit and wait.....finally brought the soup. . . we sit and wait.... finally they brought some chicken, some trout.... trout whether boiled, or.... well, in general, no, like grass, and a side dish of mashed potatoes and rice. Then they brought watermelon, grapes and melons. Drinks were chargeable. We went to the cave, which is located on the beach, where we were every day, we just didn’t know about this cave, but if we knew, we wouldn’t go, there’s nothing to do there, ticket 6 USD / person. Asthmatics are treated in this cave from 6 am to 10 am. Then you can simply suffocate there - I withstood 5 minutes at the most. ! The next step - we went again to the fortress, only to the "Red Tower", the guide told the history of the tower, the husband and some other brave and healthy ones, the steps are very high and steep, climbed the tower 5-storey high, photograph the beauty of Alanya. - After there was a walk on yacht 1.5 hours around the mountain on which the fortress of Alanya is located. , promised by the guide at the hotel was more. Walking around the city, we went to one of the many tour agencies in Alanya - we were offered a tour on a yacht for 12 dollars / person and more in time, and entertainment on a yacht is more diverse. Hotel guides always offer excursions are more expensive than in agencies and they scare that there is no insurance, etc. etc. Nothing of the kind - and cheaper, and they insure! ) -Lena&Kemal Well here this is my story. Despite the cons, the stay was wonderful! The hotel lacks a bit of cleanliness and comfort! Happy travels everyone!
