Weather: at that time it was +22-24 degrees for sunbathing in the shade, we even got sunburnt, the water in the sea was somewhere around +18 degrees (when you warm up in the sun, then just take a dip).
The hotel is beautiful all over. There is a lot of greenery on the territory, many places where you can retire, sit down and relax - on the territory and in the building itself. The staff is friendly. During our stay there were no insects, only snails falling from palm trees  .
Food: the food is good, but not very varied, a little boring in 7 days. At that time, the fruits were: oranges, grapefruits, local pears (no taste), apples. Also a lot of greens and a variety of cakes. From meat: chicken, turkey, sometimes lamb, also fish. From side dishes: mashed potatoes, french fries, rice, potatoes with meat. Various vegetable dishes. Delicious brewed Turkish tea and Turkish baklava.

Main restaurant and bars: beautiful. There is a separate buffet, a separate indoor dining room and a separate summer terrace overlooking the park area and pools. The waiters are friendly and do a very good job. If you ask, they will bring you both tea and drinks.
There are bars on the territory of the hotel that will not let you get hungry between lunch and dinner and will not let you die of thirst. All bars offer hot and cold drinks, as well as low-alcohol drinks. Hot dogs are being made on the beach, and between the beach and the pools, a woman is making tortillas with fillings. You can also taste ayran. From 16:00 in the Snack bar coffee time (with biscuits). If you don't want to run to your room to change and go to the main restaurant for lunch, you can dine in beach clothes at this Snack bar, but there are no soups and food is not much to choose from. In the evening you can sit and check the comfort of the sofas near the reception, here is the Lobby bar already + alcoholic drinks.
Room: standard rooms are nice and cozy. The only difference is the view from the window and the number of beds. The balcony has a dryer, 2 chairs and a small table. The room has air conditioning, you adjust it yourself, but when you open the doors to the balcony, it automatically turns off. The room has a safe, you can hide everything valuable there, put your password and relax on vacation. Change of bed linen, replenishment of shampoos, gels, toilet paper and soap - every day. Replenishment of the bar with soft drinks - every day until 17-00.
The room has a hairdryer. Only bathrobes, slippers and scales are missing in standard rooms. Upon check-in, we recommend either paying a little extra or bringing some kind of present in the form of alcohol to the hotel staff.
Entertainment: table tennis, billiards, water slides (what worked during our vacation). The animators entertained, but rather weakly: darts, pneumatic gun, mini-football. Every day, before lunch, there was a warm-up for adults near the pools, then for children. Evening animation was weak and not interesting for adults. The amphitheater was not yet open during our holiday. There is also a fitness center on site.

Beach: half of the beach is sand, and near and at the entrance to the sea there are medium pebbles. You can’t do without aqua shoes, because. you can hurt your feet and toes. And when the sea waves are strong, they can push so hard that you fall on your knees on this pebble. Beach towels are issued once for the whole day and you are with them near the pool and near the sea.
Pools: there are two adult pools, 1.4 m each, which are separated by a bridge, there is a separate children's pool. If the weather is bad, you can visit the indoor pool, soak in the jacuzzi and warm up in the hammam or sauna.
Shop: there is a shop on the territory of the hotel, but there prices are higher than everywhere else, but there is everything you need and even magnets for $ 1.5. There are no pharmacies nearby. Therefore, take medicines for your ambulance with you.
Money: take dollars with you. It is advisable to take small ones. no one has change and it is unrealistic to exchange for small ones.
Hammam: The hotel has a Hammam in the Spa. A visit to the hamam itself is free, and if you want to order the procedure, you already pay according to the price list. Your guide will offer boors half the price somewhere in the city, but better not agree, they do it badly there (but this is our case).
Remarks: if you have any comments or wishes, then there is a representative from the hotel near the reception, who reports all comments to the manager. You can also sign up for a visit to the A la Carte restaurant.
Shopping: You can shop for yourself or your family if you go on a shopping tour with a guide, but it will be expensive there. You can also visit the bazaar, which comes every Friday and is open from 9-00 in the morning (opposite the hotel, go to the other side of the road) and you can already bargain there. There is also a bazaar, which is open daily until 22-00 hours (when you leave the hotel, turn right and walk for 20 minutes, cross the road at the second underpass and here it is). Some people go to Alanya to see the city and go shopping locally. You can get from the hotel by minibuses, which constantly travel, or by taxi.
Adviсe:
1) When checking in, it is better to give money or some kind of present in the form of alcohol, if you want a normal room with a view of the inside of the hotel.
2) Take the necessary medicines with you.

3) Exchange small dollars in your country.
4) Take aqua shoes with you.
5) Learn a couple of Turkish words (Merhaba - hello; Selam - hello; Gyule Gyule - goodbye (wish to the departing); Alla Ismarladyk - goodbye; Teshekur - thank you), they will be pleased.
