Vacationing with my husband. It takes a long time to get to the place from Antalya airport, about 4-5 hours. They settled us quickly, there were not many people, the hotel was opened for the season on 04/25/2018, we arrived on 04/28/2018. We lived on the first floor overlooking not the pool, but another hotel. The furnished room has a large bed, a smaller bed (single), sofa, wardrobe, bedside tables, telephone, mini-bar, mirror, air conditioning. There is also a balcony. There is an old hair dryer in the bathroom, but it is there and works. In general, the room is spacious enough for two.
Minuses:
The hotel is old and tired. But if you go with the expectation of spending only the night in it, then you don’t pay attention to it.

From cosmetics, only soap and shampoo are brought to the bathroom, which does not foam well and confuses the hair. Shower gel, conditioner you need to take with you. Even when asked to bring these seemingly trifles, we were told at the reception that they do not give such things to guests at the hotel.
Wi-Fi is paid. The price for 1 day is $1. If you take 3 days, it seems like 2 dollars. Catches in the lobby, near the pool and on the first floor in the rooms (sometimes).
About the theft. At the meeting with the guide, we were warned about the facts of the theft of things in the hotel. We were asked to use the safes. We didn't use it, everything was fine.
Almost every morning, around 5:00, we could hear prayers from a nearby mosque. Guests who lived in rooms overlooking the pool and the sea, according to them, prevented sleep from road noise. This is more likely not a minus, but an inconvenience that the hotel management cannot influence.
Beach towels are paid. I will not write the price, since we took our own.
Pros: The sea is close. Directly on site there is an underground passage to the beach. A minute and you are already enjoying the warm breeze and the sun on the sun loungers. You can sunbathe both on the beach and on the pontoon, there are also sun loungers and umbrellas. The entrance to the sea is solid slippery, sometimes sharp slabs. We went down the stairs on the pontoon.
Everything is thought out on the beach: there is a bar with soft drinks and beer. There is also a snack bar. Non obtrusive music plays. It's nice to relax in such an atmosphere!
Water invigorates in such a period. The first time of the day was usually bathed at 10:00 in the morning. The main mood) The temperature is about +19 degrees according to the sensations. Before lunch, we swam 2-3 times, took snorkels and dived, watched the fish. After lunch, the water warmed up and it was more comfortable to enter.

The main restaurant is located on the 7th floor. The hotel has lifts to take you there. But there were cases when I had to stomp upstairs on foot, because. The elevator arrived already full of people. The restaurant is large, there are tables for 8.6, 4.2 people. There are also highchairs for children. The view from the restaurant on the outdoor terrace is simply gorgeous, especially during dinner! The food in the restaurant is very tasty. There was only 1 spicy dish due to the red chili. There is a large selection for both breakfast and lunch and dinner. No complaints! The chef walked around the restaurant every day, looked, checked, and scolded the staff if something was over.
Animation is top notch! The guys are really great, they try, entertain. Mini-disco for children until 22:00 seems to pass, after that there is a program for adults at the amphitheater. Then a disco: they offer to go to the city or spend it on the territory of the hotel in an isolated room. Music doesn't bother anyone.
There is a pool and paddling pool for small children. There are also a couple of water slides. Near the pool there is a bar, many shops, a hookah, a game room.
The village of Mahmutlar itself is not a very touristy place. There are unfinished hotels. If you leave the hotel and walk to the left, you can drink fresh oranges (very tasty, since it is the season during this period) and other fruits, see a couple of restaurants, hookahs. All streets are well-groomed, trees and bushes are cut, sellers are friendly. The streets are quiet, there are no liqueurs or noisy establishments.
If you leave the hotel during the day and walk to the right, you can get to the market. It's not there every day, but it's very big. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, berries.
You can also stop the minibus near the hotel and drive to the center of Alanya. This is convenient, as the minibus stops wherever you ask. Drive about 20-30 minutes. It costs 3 lira per person. There you can go to the clothing market and buy good textiles, spices, and souvenirs.
We bought excursions around the corner (at the exit to the left) at the first crossroads. We were on a jeep safari and in a hammam. Hamam loved it!
In general, the hotel did not spoil our holiday. We went to the beach to sunbathe, swim in the clear sea, breathe the air, enjoy Turkey. There are some shortcomings, but for us they were not significant)
