I would like to share my feedback about the stay at the OBA STAR ALANYA hotel
I'll start with the cons of this hotel, because there were not many positives.

Average age of guests 50+
THIS IS NOT A YOUTH HOTEL

The hotel is located on the second line and has its own beach. The beach is dirty, sun loungers are old and sometimes broken, umbrellas are also old and torn. The beach staff only works for tips. The Internet on the beach practically does not work, and if it does, it disappears all the time.
It takes 5 minutes to walk to the beach from the hotel, on the way you will find an underground pedestrian crossing with unpleasant smells.

The hotel itself is far from new, it looks decent from the outside, but inside it is far from four stars.

We lived in the main building of the hotel, the view from the balcony was of the pool, there are two more buildings on both sides of the main building, the side buildings overlook the street where street restaurants are located, loud music plays and cars drive.
All buildings are equipped with elevators, the elevators are very slow and you have to wait a long time for the elevator after calling it. The reliability of the elevator leaves much to be desired, in my eyes 3 elderly tourists from Denmark were stuck in the elevator and could not get out for 20 minutes, when they were rescued they were in a pre-infarction condition.
The pool at the hotel is not big, there are not enough sun loungers for everyone, at the point of passage to the second building, the water from the pool overflows and floods the passage and it is very slippery there, the “slippery floor” sign that stands there constantly warns of this.

I want to pay special attention to the animation in the hotel and the DJ. One person is responsible for music and animation, he is a real parasite, a boor, a scoundrel and his qualification raises many questions.
The main interest of the DJ is the persistent sale of tickets to the worst disco in the city with which he has his share.
The second interest is the free girls and women of the hotel, with whom he will happily spend the night.
Many free girls of the hotel complained that he molested them with indecent proposals of an intimate nature.

Regarding the music in the hotel, I would especially like to note the complete monotony of electronic music, which plays intermittently and with pauses while the DJ goes about his business. Turkish music was especially boring after 10 days, a playlist of 50 songs was learned by heart and it was easy to guess the next song.
To the request to change the repertoire, we received a response from the DJ: IF YOU DON'T LIKE, MOVE TO ANOTHER HOTEL.
After complaining to the hotel manager, the situation did not change, although the manager made every effort to change anything.

The animation takes half an hour in the evening, and all he does is play music to which unqualified people put on a snake show, belly dance or fire show. At the same time, the music sounds loud and with noise.

After the show, monotonous electronic music plays loudly for another half an hour, after which the DJ takes his "victims" to the club, then there is silence in the hotel, but animation and music from neighboring hotels are clearly audible.
In the evening after 22:30-23:00 complete boredom sets in. Everyone goes to their rooms or leaves the hotel. Guests in small groups drink alcohol at the bar or play board games.

The Internet in the hotel is weak, in the evenings it does not work well or does not work at all.

Dirty carpets, walls with defects, plaster fell off on the ceiling near the pool, the smell of mold in the bath complex in the basement.

The rooms are small, the TVs are noisy, there is mold in the bathrooms, in my room the shower cubicle was also broken and all the water was spreading on the floor.

Cleaning every day, the quality is C grade, despite the fact that they left 1-2 dollars for a tip.

POSITIVE SIDES

one.
The restaurant is good, breakfast is a bit monotonous, lunch and dinner are varied and tasty.
2. Soft drinks juices and coffee are disgusting, good quality Coca Cola Fanta Sprite.
3. Alcoholic drinks and cocktails based on them are not of the highest quality, beer is 2-2.5 degrees by strength, tastes like a triple.
4. Special thanks to the only good bartender named ZAFIR. He is polite and pleasant in communication, tries to make good cocktails and please everyone.
5. The beach is not far away and this is also a plus.
6. Transport to city 101 is also nearby (cost $ 1)
7. There are many shops and shops around
