We went through Pegasus.
The beach is small pebbles, entry into the sea is a little complicated by larger stones, there are large boulders in the water a little deeper, they are not sharp, but sometimes you can not calculate your strength and hit. The sea was warm, when there were no waves, even transparent, when the waves were, then dirt accumulated in places from the means of protection from the sun washed off the bodies of people, it did not look very "appetizing". There were plenty of free sunbeds, umbrellas and mattresses both on the sea and by the pool, apparently it just depends on the season. An underground and very short passage leads from the hotel to the sea, this is a huge plus, because. no need to cross the road.
They ate with appetite, they cook deliciously and a lot, the only thing is that only chicken is meat, but it is constantly cooked according to different recipes. For lunch and dinner there is always fruit, a large selection of salads and hot dishes. No juices, only synthetic UPI. Freshly squeezed orange juice can be ordered for breakfast for $2. There is always hot brewed black tea, coffee from a coffee machine, sprite / cola / etc. , beer (rather tolerable), wine (very sour, but there were also lovers of such a drink) and other strong alcoholic drinks 24 hours.

Number double standard "struck" with its simplicity. For an exchange for a suite, they take from 20 to 50 dollars, as you are lucky and with whom you agree. But the suites are also different. I usually vacation in Europe, so this room was like a European 3 stars. There was a shortage of towels, in 7 days they changed only once and only one, the bed was not changed at all. The room had a hair dryer and a small bottle with some kind of soapy liquid and solid soap, there was no cup for brushes and a soap holder. The refrigerator did not work well, there was air conditioning and TV. Safe deposit $12, payment per week - $10.10 dollars returned. A friend had all her valuables in her suitcase, and they stayed there. On the day of your arrival, be sure to ask for the "welcome" water you are supposed to, then you will not prove that you were not given it.
Near the hotel there is a bus every 15 minutes to the Alanya Bazaar, the final stop (about 40 minutes to go), you can get off on the road near some shopping center (Aladium for example). The fare is 2 lira or 2 dollars, so first exchange small money for the road in the hotel shop, the rate is not very profitable, but save on travel. It is better to change money in Alanya, but this is not always necessary, dollars, euros and sometimes even rubles are accepted everywhere. It is better to go to Alanya not from a hotel or from a tour operator, but on your own, and look at the city and choose exactly what you need. The bus runs until 11pm. Every Tuesday, not far from the hotel, there is a local bazaar with things, leather and products. Prices vary, bargaining skills are welcome.
On the territory of the hotel there is a free disco in the basement, which is open from 23:30 to 2:30, everyone carefully hides its existence and offers a paid one in Alanya for 7 dollars. But in Alanya, the entrance to all discos is free, 7 dollars are taken only for travel there and back.
The entertainment program is repeated every 7 days, it was boring, almost no children were involved.
Delighted with the staff, the waiters are all very friendly, try, try with pleasure to entertain the kids. I liked the girl Anya at the reception, she always tried to help resolve difficult situations.
The overall impression of the holiday - excellent. All the pluses cover the minuses, if I decide to go to Turkey again, I will go to this hotel.
