I doubted whether to write a review, because this year they are of little relevance to anyone.

We got to this hotel by chance after repeated rebookings, initially we booked at the beginning of spring in an inexpensive 3 * hotel for June, then we found out that the booking was canceled (thanks to the Join Up company), only the money remained on the deposit, thanks for that too : ). Then they chose another one from the available ones, already at a different price, of course, it was also canceled later, it finally happened : )

The hotel is located in the village. Okurcalar, the village itself is unremarkable, in addition, this year there is a terrible emptiness around the hotel, all nearby hotels are closed, this is slightly depressing.

The hotel is one large building with a beautiful lobby with glass elevators and rooms, almost all overlooking the sea.


We arrived at 4 o'clock in the morning, and it should be noted a pleasant moment that we were immediately settled, and we could sleep a little before breakfast.
True, out of the declared 5 nights, it turned out 4, because we left late in the evening.

Stayed in a standard room. The room itself is small, one living room with a 2-bedroom and a 1-bed. The mattresses are soft, everything is clean, there was nothing to complain about. A large closet with a free safe, the bathroom has everything you need, towels, slippers, only there were no bathrobes, but this is not critical. LCD TV with several Russian and a couple of Ukrainian channels. There was no Wi-fi in the room, only in one place on the -2 floor it was somehow possible to catch something. As an option - it was possible to connect a paid one, it seems 4 dollars / euros per day. By the way, in Turkey, the euro is equal to the dollar, so it’s better to go there with dollars.

A pleasant moment for me is the carpeting in the room. It may not be so fashionable now, but it creates comfort.

A couple of minor nuances - there were no glasses in the room, you had to take cocktails from the bar, carry them to the room in order to simply brush your teeth.
And yet, our room was closest to the road, so there was constant noise.

Cleaning every day, with what you can leave a tip or not, we did not depend on the quality of cleaning.

The food was excellent, though this year we don’t serve food through glass ourselves. And in the mornings there were not enough sweet desserts, but in the afternoon and in the evening they were abundant. And even closer to the beach there is a snack bar where you can also have lunch. The same bar serves drinks for free, spirits, beer, about 6 types of cocktails.

The territory itself is small, and it's amazing how so many things are located on it - 2 large pools, one with smaller slides, a children's pool with sand, and an upper pool with white beautiful curly sunbeds.

When we first checked in, the hotel was about half occupied, then residents of other regions of Turkey arrived, and sunbeds by the pool had to be occupied almost before breakfast.


Animation every day (except Sunday probably, or so we got).
In the morning gymnastics on the grass, in the pool, water polo, volleyball, competitions in the pool. In the evening, on the stage of the amphitheater, contests such as miss, mister or performances. In general, do not get bored.

The beach is sandy and pebbly, right next to the hotel behind the bar. There are sun loungers, but the mushrooms are too small, and they didn’t give much shade, so we came for a swim and went to the pool, since everything is nearby. It is difficult to enter the water because of the pebbles, so if you have sensitive soles, I recommend wearing special shoes. there is also a pier, which also has sun loungers, and a couple of these closed bungalows, they are paid. You can dive from the pier (actually it is forbidden according to the signs), the water is clear, blue.

There is also something like a spa in the hotel on the -3rd floor (they give out beach towels). There is a free massage, gym, salt room, sauna. I really visited the gym, but they divorced me for a massage.
They crushed, then I found out that I had big problems, and I urgently needed to do a complex for every day - $ 25 a session. I took one paid session, but I don't know if it's worth it. The same applies to other procedures, so if you keep a deaf defense against divorce, you can really relax only at the price of a tour : )

The same goes for the guide. Naturally, the guide at the meeting began to tell that it makes sense to go to Alanya only by taking an excursion from them, which includes a visit to the cave, a cable car to the mountain, wine tasting, and boat rides. We agreed. In fact, it turned out that if you add all these options, it would turn out exactly 2 times cheaper, and the tasting is another scam for money. There is a fortress on the mountain, but it does not work, we reached the closed mosque, and returned, everything, and this is in the wild heat. The ship had free beer, and a modest dinner, everything else was paid.

Another guide (hello Arif, and his whole company in red pants) offered a free transfer to shopping the day before. But nothing in this world is done just like that. We were brought to "their" stores, where prices are 2 times more expensive than the average market prices. Already on the last evening we went to the Alara Bazaar in our village, where it was quite possible to buy everything cheaper.

Also, we were forced to go at the end of July, because it would not have worked out later, and the year is unusual today. But if there is a choice - it is better either in May, or September-October, we really suffered from the sweltering heat.
