Mukarnas или первый раз в Алании Mukarnas or first time in Alanya

The hotel was chosen by our friends. We arrived in the first half of the day, but $20 in the passport helped us settle in quickly and provided a spacious room (we saw other rooms, in our distance from the edge of the bed to the tabletop with the TV was a little wider). Room 1285, on the second floor, on the right side, a balcony in the corner of the building (therefore slightly sloping, smaller than usual) overlooking the courtyard and the sea. It would be more convenient if the room was in the left wing, where the main restaurant is located.
ROOM: Very thoughtful design, with muqarnas symbols on curtains, pillows, wall panel, muqarnas mirror. In a word - beautiful and pleasant. A long tabletop covered with glass above the minibar, it is also a table and a TV stand. There are pull-out drawers, a place for a suitcase, very convenient. I have never seen a separate full-fledged bed for a child in any hotel before. This was very pleasing, because in May we were in the Amara Club Marin, and their folding chair was a little flimsy. Attention in the rooms - mosquitoes! I don’t know how it is at other times of the year, but I noticed the dead mosquitoes on the ceiling immediately after we were all bitten the first night. Take a fumigator and you will sleep peacefully. Or you can call the room service, they will sprinkle something. I didn't call.
The bathroom has new plumbing, but the glass door is not very comfortable, it only opens inside. To reach the mixer you need to have sufficient flexibility and long arms : ))

Cleaning is good, but we were never blinded with swans even for a dollar, while our friends, on the contrary, were blinded without a dollar. Depends on the cleaner.
There is a folding clothes dryer on the balcony, I use this at home, it’s very convenient, I’ve also never seen it anywhere before.
MAIN RESTAURANT: I ​ ​ did not notice the simultaneous diversity, but on the other hand, the main dishes differed from day to day: either lamb, or tuna, or river trout, etc. Chicken, turkey and beef were constantly present. Sometimes spinach, which I love very much, disappeared : ((
I often met chipped dishes, I think that this should be disposed of, and the hotel saves.
ALA CARDS: The recording system is stupid, like it was designed to keep nobody from recording. They all worked in turns, even every other day. On the morning of the day before going to the restaurant from 9-11, you had to stand in a kilometer-long queue, first to get a ticket, and then again to sign up in more detail. Accordingly, you sign up for the next restaurant the next morning after the previous one. It is impossible to visit all of them in 10 days. Either the weather is not the same, then the Turkish night in the main restaurant, then the coupon did not get. You order the main course in advance to choose from two, and the rest is simply brought to you - whether you like it or not. No one will give you a menu. I liked FISH very much (rolls with salmon, spinach soup is very tasty and grilled fish, colmar rings), and ITALIAN was so-so, there was chicken or steak to choose from, tuna salad, minestrone soup and lasagna.

MINI CLUB: Weak animation support, but technically there is a lot for kids: on the -2nd floor there is a children's room with a labyrinth and a climbing wall, on the street there are cartoons in the room with pillows and tables for drawing, the children's buffet was not covered, probably due to the end season, an inflatable attraction, a playground with slides and ladders, swings, children's slides in the pool for my 4-year-old son turned out to be cool. There is also a playground on the beach. No competitions, treasure hunts and competitions were held. Our children only occasionally drew with the animator or danced on a mini-disco.
ANIMATION: One Russian girl Nastya in the mini-club, all the rest are Turks. Comedy show was 2 times - very vulgar and primitive. On the Turkish night there was a very cool imported show, they danced well, drummed, there was a dance of an oriental beauty, who then made 4 men shake their bellies, amused. Everyone danced at the end.
BEACH: Despite the end of the season, sun loungers had to be occupied in the morning, otherwise there were not enough. Sometimes I had to go myself to look for a deck chair, pull it out of the pile and look for a mattress for it.
ICE CREAM, WAFFLES, GÖ ZLEME BAKES and SNACKS at the snack bar - you always had to queue. All in time!
DRINKS: Only in the Lobby was baileys, martini, whiskey, or after its closing on the -2 floor in the bar everything was transferred.
In other bars, only beer, gin, wine.
SPA CENTER: We took a Turkish hammam complex for $60. I liked it very much, the next day the Tezturovets offered to go to the hammam in Konakli for 30 dollars. The huge indoor pool was not heated even when it was cool, jacuzzi, small pool for children. Sauna with menthol, steam room, another sauna and a large hammam came in handy when it rained.
The reception and lobby are very nice and comfortable, lots of places to sit with company, play cards and have a drink. The furniture is true, some kind of all different, but in the same style.
SHOPPING: In large beautiful centers you will not be offered low prices even with bargaining. Drive or walk to ALARA GRAND BAZAAR, on the right side of the hotel, 20 minutes walk. There is a decent assortment and prices of 200-250 dollars for a leather jacket or sheepskin coat. You won't find mink coats for next to nothing. I recommend: CEYLAN LEDER HOME, in the second row from the beginning of the bazaar from the side of muqarnas, opposite it are souvenirs with good bargaining and scarves and Angel Leather VIP in the first row in the middle. We just didn't go any further.

Alanya was very surprised, we went there ourselves by car, the port is beautiful and large, there are many shops, the embankment. The city is bigger than Kemer. Take a tour of Alanya City as it is hard to find anything on your own. You can only wander around the shops.
In general, the rest was successful, and the Mukarnas hotel turned out to be the most beautiful of all in Okurcalar and the surrounding villages.
