Hello! When choosing which hotel to go to in Turkey, my boyfriend and I, of course, read the reviews of other people, in addition to looking at beautiful pictures in catalogs and recommendations from consultants from various travel agencies. We rested from 24.04. to 1.05 of this year (2011). My boyfriend is not the first time in Turkey, and he also rested in different hotels, which I cannot say about myself. In general, ideas about what a vacation should be were relatively definite.
We immediately decided on the region. We chose the coast of Alanya. There was an issue with the hotel. Looked, probably, all the hotels on this coast. I must say right away that the main criterion by which we chose the hotel is a large green area. There were a lot of beautiful buildings, but around which there were several palm trees and bushes, and in the end you were in front of everyone. Therefore, the criterion of green territory was decisive.
Firstly, you are not visible and other people do not interfere with you, and secondly, it is still more beautiful when it is green than when everything is bald.

We chose the hotel Ozkaymak Incekum (Ozkaymak Incekum) 5 *. Let's clarify right away that this is not a luxury hotel, but a budget one, but very worthy. The territory is large and very green, perhaps the greenest on the coast. Nearby (you just need to leave the hotel and cross the road) is the village of Avsalar. A very pleasant place. We went out for a walk almost every other day. Of course there are a lot of shops, cafes, too. Very clean and beautiful.
Now about the hotel. We went from the company Anex Tour. There were no problems here, everything was clear, on time, organized. Well done boys. The hotel guide did not bother with all kinds of excursions and shops (as many write here).
We met with him as expected at the information consultation, he told us what and how, what excursions there are, where the hotel is located, wished us a good rest and contact us if we have any questions. Gave us insurance. We only saw him when we passed by his table. We decided that we would book excursions in the village itself (it’s cheaper by 20 percent), so we didn’t have any questions about the hotel guide later, and he didn’t impose on us.
He accommodated us immediately upon arrival. Check-in is from 14:00, and check-out is until 12:00. We arrived at 7 pm. The entire registration took about 5 minutes of our time. Settled in a room with a great view of the interior and the sea. So if you arrive at the hotel before two o'clock in the afternoon, there may be delays in resettlement, but once we were present at such a moment, and people were also settled quickly enough.
The service at the hotel was also flawless.
We always left $ 1 for the cleaning lady (we didn’t even experiment). Clean towels every day, washed bathroom, cleaned room and made beds. All things are in their places. In short, there is nothing to complain about.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner always went to the same table (on the street). We were served by a waiter named Mehmed (older than all the young people who served other tables, pleasant, tactful, took away empty plates and changed ashtrays in such a way that we did not notice when he did it). We also left him a dollar every day (there were four of us at the table, a couple of guys, whom we met there, alternated for this). About food. We got the impression that half of the people who came there eat black caviar for breakfast and lobster for lunch. We tell what was from the food, and let everyone decide for himself whether this is enough for him or not enough.
For breakfast: there were always soft-boiled and hard-boiled eggs, sausages and sausages, cheese, cheese, salads, various pastries with all kinds of jams, and you could also make milk porridge to your taste (the ingredients were cereal, oatmeal, raisins, etc. and, accordingly, milk (you want cold, you want hot, it was where the coffee and tea machines were) and fruits and sweets. For lunch: potatoes, rice, pasta, some meat (chicken, turkey, beef), all kinds of greens, vegetables (if you want to take a ready-made salad, if you want to make it yourself), various salads, cakes, again, fruits and sweets Dinner: for dinner, add pancakes, pizza, and meat hot salad to everything that was for lunch everything is done right in front of your eyes.
As for salads. Turks are very fond of pickles, so in almost every salad they have some kind of pickled or salted vegetables. On the second day, we chose those that we like best, and they took them.
The staff there is friendly. Unlike vacationers, especially the Russians, who always tripled scandals. I do not want to offend anyone, but shamelessness, tactlessness and arrogance of Russian vacationers was on the verge. People, no one owes you anything. Address the locals in the same way as your neighbor in the number, and then there will be no conflicts. Although the hotel staff is quite tolerant. They can mutter something under their breath, but they will not raise a panic, unlike Russian vacationers. It was just disgusting to watch such people. And then everyone wonders why Russians are so disliked in hotels. Take a look around, here is your answer. Guys, be more cultured, leave the "show-offs" at home.
Separately about excursions. We booked excursions in Avsalar, from our woman (in the sense of Russian) named Svetlana. There is a monument in the village: 3 columns with different symbols, and in front of them is a ball supported by two palms.

Now, if you stand facing this monument, then this excursion company is located immediately behind it, a little to the left. Or, in other words, right after you pass such a clothing market called "Bazar", it looks like a recess in the street. This woman, Svetlana, is short, with a short haircut. Very pleasant, she told us how to bargain and about prices, where you can change and withdraw money from the card. We went from her to the bathhouse, to ride quad bikes and on an excursion to Demre-Mira-Kekov. She gave us a discount. In short, everything is human.
Yes. About the bath. At the hotel, spa workers will pester you and invite you to the bathhouse, saying that everything is very wonderful with them, and if you are lucky with the guide, they will spoil your mood there. This is complete nonsense! We went to a bathhouse (hamam), which was a 3-minute drive, this pleasure cost, it seems, 20 dollars, and it was really a pleasure!
Our advice, decide what you need from your vacation, and then your vacation will succeed. And if you deliberately choose a hotel that will not have something important for you, then there is no one to blame but yourself.

Have a nice holiday!
