Overall impressions of this hotel are more positive than negative. Well, let's break it all down.
1) a long drive to the hotel on the day of arrival, about 4 hours from Antalya Airport.
2) upon arrival, we were given a room (maybe due to the forgetfulness of a friend at the reception - Boris) in a terrible state (not cleaned, the plaster has fallen behind the walls, there is sand in the bathroom, and in general it feels like someone was recently killed there), only after , as we raised kipezh, we were given a room in a more or less normal condition.
3) no one from the staff speaks Russian.

4) food uzhOs (mainly fed with scrambled eggs, there were melons and watermelons from fruits, well, a common distinguishing feature - everything was very spicy). For lunch, we went to a gas station (1 km towards Alanya), where you can get drunk on 5 dollars of chicken kebab (there is no other in Turkey along the way) with vegetables and cola, like an ace in the garbage, yes, the soup is delicious there, it’s called corbe, I advise .
General advice - if not ol inclusive, then I advise you to eat anywhere, but not at the hotel. So the menu is unlimited and less money will be spent. So, the cook from Mikado offered us to buy a bottle of cola 1.2 l for 7 dollars)))
5) the hotel has its own beach, well, that is, a piece of the coastline, well-groomed, nothing is lying around, sun loungers with umbrellas are issued free of charge - just say the password - MIKADO. The sea, of course, is cool, but very salty, after each diving you want to drink terribly, in the bar on the beach there is water - for $ 2, half a container of ordinary non-carbonated water. The beach is small pebbles, it doesn’t hurt your legs, but it’s harsh to walk. At the bottom of the stones, all sorts of fish swim. Personal advice is to buy diving goggles upon arrival or at home and do not bother with diving or anything else. And if there are flippers, then this is a dream of a poet.
6) the hotel itself was built recently, so that ragged room along the way is more an exception than a rule. The room has air conditioning, a TV with one Russian channel (1), all the rest are either German or Turkish, a refrigerator, a bar - by the way, everything is included in the bar when you check in, fruit soda, cola, steam chocolates - all at crazy prices in euros, if you can’t resist and grab it))) Yes, and there is no animation in the hotel at all. It’s just a roof over your head)))
7) supposedly it is impossible to bring food and drinks to the hotel - we carried everything quite freely, though in opaque bags, so as not to be grumpy - no one looked into the bags.
8) they have a safe behind the reception, a buck a day or something.

9) we flew with a pegasus, (buck-winged horses) so our guide came to us only in the middle of the rest, for nothing that he also lived in our own hotel. Sadly, she offered us rafting, diving, etc. vouchers. By that time, we had already rolled up on a yacht and ordered a diving voucher, so we politely refused. By the way, it is better to book tours in Mahmutlar, Mikado is located in the middle between Alanya and Mahmutlar. This town is quite interesting with numerous shops, cafes, etc. So, vouchers there are much cheaper, almost twice.
10) everyone for a triumphant return home (gifts, souvenirs, cheap clothes, real Turkish delight - not in boxes, but by weight !! ! in boxes it is the same as it is sold in the Carousel) you can stock up on the so-called Bazaar, this is a nomadic market - one day he is in Alanya, the other is in Mahmutlar, etc. I say right away that you can go there only with a clear procurement plan, because you want to buy everything at once, and at the exit you realize that you stocked up on a bunch of junk you don’t need. Cosmetics and perfumes are mostly FAKE.
11) when returning to the hotel, at the reception there is a computer with internet, 2 euros per hour.
12) the shower cabin in the room is rather narrow. By the way, in front of the hotel there is a tap with water, such as to wash your feet after the beach.
In summary, the Mikado Hotel is quite suitable for a budget family vacation to swim in the sea (the sea is cool), sunbathe and sleep in the hotel. Have a good rest))
