*We rested with a company of four families (+4 children). Read the reviews before going and looked at the photos. I must say right away that my review is positive in the context of 3 stars. The trip with my wife cost 3800 UAH ($450) for two!!!! ! WE just returned from Europe, so we paid a lot of attention to the price.
Before that, we rested in 5-4 stars, so people who want to see the same service as in 5-ke will be disappointed, it is not there. I will try to describe all the advantages of the hotel.
1. Your own beach is not far away, go through the underpass across the road and you are on the beach. The beach has sun loungers, mattresses, umbrellas. You can drink water, juices. But most importantly, you can safely go into the water! Not like on neighboring beaches, where underwater cobblestones are everywhere. It stands next to a 5-ka in the form of a steamer, but they don’t enter the sea from the beach, or from the pier, or in the pool.

2. The hotel is located on the Antalya-Alanya highway, traffic day and night, but no cars are heard inside the hotel. The buildings are three-story, we lived on the first floor, with access to the communal pool.
3. Rooms are OK. We in the top five in Egypt have seen worse. The rooms have air conditioning, hair dryer, TV (our bad show). Almost all rooms on the second and third floors overlook the sea. You can agree for 10-20 dollars to put you in the best room.
4. In both directions of the hotel, if you walk 10-15 minutes, you get to the market, where you can buy almost everything that is on the market in Alanya. But most importantly, we found several travel agencies, which we used without fear. For our non-sitting company, it was very important to find excursions. Upon arrival, our tour operator wanted to sell us excursions....People DO NOT buy excursions from tour operators - they are EXPENSIVE!!!! ! We found a travel agency near the market (if you leave the hotel on the right), imagine the agent turned out to be almost a fellow countryman, he goes on vacation to Ukraine in Slavyansk to his relatives Turks. )), in short, an excursion to rafting cost us 25 dollars. We also rode on a pirate yacht with a foam party, it was great. So don't be afraid to buy tours from locals.
5. Children of friends were delighted!! ! Swimming pool, slide, mini-disco in the evening. Don't be afraid to like the kids.
Minuses.
1. For my wife and I, the main disadvantage was the large presence of ours. We can say the hotel consists of Russians. How tired of these queues for food....((((((Another 15 minutes before the opening of the restaurant, a crowd of hungry Russian (or Ukrainian, shorter than ours) tourists were at the start))))) in short, like at home....

2. In my opinion, the animation is weak. Maybe it’s like that in 3-ka, I certainly was in 3-ke for the first time... It’s normal for children in the evening, but for adults....we begged for our own leisure, evening discos did not inspire us very much, because none of our company drinks))). There is a tennis table on the territory, but the rackets are dead, a volleyball floated in the pool, but it was deflated, we took backgammon to play, but there was not one cube (I had to buy a cup in the market and get the cubes as a gift). In short, if you need an active holiday, take sports equipment with you and help the animators create championships, games, and competitions.
3. Food is average. Meat was given every day, but sometimes soya. Lots of greenery. But there was a lack of sweets. At lunch they gave a pie, but not everyone got it. And these queues....It is clear that the staff simply does not have time to update the dishes. We bought sweets at the market, so, in principle, food on a five-point basis is a three. It is interesting that we met people who ran away from 4 stars to our hotel, the reason was food, they were fed worse than ours..... So read the reviews before you pay for the ticket.
Well, that's basically it. I repeat, as for the troika, the hotel is not very bad. As with any place, there are pros and cons, so decide for yourself.
