We rested with my family, flew on the first flight from Ukraine, the transfer to the hotel really takes 2.5-3 hours, but after a night flight we slept like marmots on the road, we were not tired at all.
We were the first guests at the hotel, we were greeted very friendly, they even prepared a small breakfast, although, in theory, breakfast was not included in the price.
The room was a suite, everything was clean, tinted, the toilet / shower was also after cosmetic repairs, everything was clean, the furniture was not worn out, it was clear that they were preparing for the arrival of guests.
All rooms with sea views, which is good news, and if the top floor, then generally class! The standards on the first floors are a bit small of course. The difference in price between the suite and the standard is only 20 euros.
The only thing is that the design of the rooms is old-fashioned, but this is not a minus, but my opinion. . .

In terms of nutrition, everything is fine, I don’t understand people who write there is nothing to eat. Yes, the choice is not large, but there is always something to eat, and most importantly delicious !!! .
Breakfast: eggs, sausages (albeit local ones), fresh vegetables, 3 types of cheese, olives, two types of side dishes, milk, cereal, muesli, yogurt, there was always a cool watermelon for fruits and cherries, melons, apples, pears alternated. . .
Lunch: two types of meat, fish, soup, different side dishes, different types of salads, delicious mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus... several types of fresh herbs, there was enough for everyone, + sweets, delicious coffee pudding and cakes. And of course watermelon, and very tasty.
Dinner: something must be prepared on the grill + about the same as for lunch.
On the contrary, we liked that you don’t overeat all day, but ate and went to the sea, but there are no frills like in 5 *, but for 1000 euros for 2 + 2 we didn’t expect anything special.
In terms of alcohol, very good keg beer, believe me, even better than in some 5 *, dry white and red wine is of quite normal quality, just like everywhere else in Turkey.
Cleaning was done every day, whether I needed towels, everything was fine (there was a beach fee, but we bought it on the spot for 60 UAH at about a store, or take it with you)
The pool was washed every day + tiles around the pool, I really liked the courtyard, banana palms and roses, it is clear that everything is looked after.
I want to note the very polite and friendly staff, special thanks to Anya at the reception, no one has ever been rude, on the contrary, the waiters are like bees, well done, the cooks are also trying. , the bartender is smiling pleasant, everything is fine. The hair dryer broke down, we went to the reception, they gave it back, they immediately brought a new one, and once the watering can fell off the shower due to the strong pressure of the water, they also came and quickly fixed everything. I don't see any problem in this

The beach is generally nearby, sunbeds, umbrellas, everything is there, a bar on the beach has also opened, a small pebble, as you enter the water just above the knee, a natural stone slab, but it is flat, not slippery, standing on it and jumping on the waves is quite normal, just you need to get used to it, we got used to it in a day, the children were also afraid at first, but after 1 hour they already got used to it.
The sea was clean, unlike other regions of Alanya. The water temperature was just right, not cold or hot. WE ARE BAD!!
Animation was also, and mini-disco and evening shows, unpretentious, but sometimes even interesting. During the day, limbo, step aerobics, water polo and something else... In general, we did not get bored.
The hill also worked on schedule, everything is fine.
I was very pleased with the pool for kids, clean with mushrooms and very warm water, large umbrellas around, everything is well thought out.
Also, one of the advantages of this hotel is its location, there is where to go, a good embankment, a lot of shops, the village of Mahmutlar is quite large, we don’t like to sit still, we went around a lot, but not all for sure.
A bunch of bars, restaurants, shops, excursions and other delights.
I especially liked the local market, they swing it, it happens in different places, ask the locals where it happens on what day. And there... the prices are just a fairy tale, a huge selection of vegetables, fruits, olives 22-25 lire per 1 kg - this is about 88 UAH, a freebie... , cheeses, many kinds, natural olive oil, beauty.
Summing up, I want to say that go to rest in a good mood and then everything will be in order, but maybe there were some flaws, but they are not significant and you should not spoil your rest and mood. If you want variety in food, pay 2000 for Rixos and go... who's stopping you. And this hotel is pleasant and sincere and I would return to it.
