In general, I will try to convey the information to the traveling as accurately as possible. So, let's start with a transfer at the Antalya airport. They worked for a solid four. The downside is that we stood for an hour, waited for a couple more fellow travelers.
The settlement went without problems (except for the worst English in the reception room of the hotel worker who met us. The guy didn’t know Russian at all. The porter (and they even have such a service) escorted us to the room, having received 2 Turkish liras for tea, bowed out. Upon a quick inspection of the room, it was found that the room, of course, is lousy - not a four-star interior. It was found that the breathing air conditioner (half-broken with a loose cover) had no remote control and no buttons. It was quite stuffy, one might say hot. The problem was crowned with success and a polite guy from the reception personally with a remote control borrowed from some other room set the temperature we needed, promising to leave a new remote control in the room tomorrow, which he did later.
In general, the general impression is that the young staff is trying to do the best they can. The hotel's customers are treated fairly politely. But. . . with a low budget overall, the hotel looks shabby. Poor environment and dirty.
The pool at the hotel did not impress, small with a lot of children. We never swam in it, preferring the sea itself.
The sea is not the best beach I have seen, but the hotel has its own area on the beach, but if you want to swim, you need to make your way down the steps to the sea, where you will be met by a rather unpleasant entrance to the sea with big waves. After walking a couple of minutes along the beach to the rock, you will see a more convenient place to enter the water. Or it makes sense to go to the pier, from where you can jump into the water - a height of 3 meters. The water is excellent, warm and clean.
On the hotel beach there are showers and toilets, a bar with snacks (afternoon) and soft drinks in the afternoon. Umbrellas and sun loungers are enough. There were no problems.
In general - the sea with the beach at eight out of ten.
After sunset, there is not much to do in the hotel except drink. Local alcohol (except diluted, but still beer) is a rare muck. Fortunately, there was something to drink from what was bought in duty free, so in the evening, having grabbed a table in front of the pool, they no longer parted with it until they went to the room to sleep.
Once the guys (local ringleaders, such as animators) offered to drive to a nightclub in Alanya for 10 bucks. There were people, my wife and I and two more girls from Russia, who were a little afraid to go this way. The guys from the hotel followed us quite closely, protecting us from annoying Turkish waiters offering who knows what. Drinks are not the cheapest in the club itself, but ok. In general, we drank together with the hotel staff and were happy to walk up to dance, trance and any remix music - a little later than three in the morning we returned to the hotel.
You can go to Alanya itself by bus. It takes about 15 minutes to drive. But, all you will meet are annoying traders who will sell you everything, calling you in both Russian and English. If you don't want to buy anything, walk past and look at the sights, pretending not to hear anything. Although, IMHO, it is worth pampering yourself and your family at home with Turkish sweets, which still cost many times more at a Turkish airport. All leather goods stores will offer you a wide selection of goods with a rather annoying and overly ingratiating service at high prices. If you have no experience of having a conversation in a Turkish bazaar - my advice is - just don't get involved and walk past. If you couldn’t resist, for comparison, a children’s sheepskin coat of very good quality (a five-year-old girl) with raccoon fur or some fur-bearing animal should cost no more than $ 150. First they ask for 250-300. In general, we spent an hour in Alanya (in the city) - another and back to the hotel. There is nothing to do there. Sellers of shops with souvenirs and leather traders - get it everywhere in the city, often reach the beach with their advertisements. But these are the features of Turkish trade - the local flavor, so to speak.
In general, my summary is this: this hotel does not deserve stars at all. Next time I will not go there, although now I do not consider the rest spoiled. I knew that I would not get good service for the money I paid. I do not recommend going there with a child. Look for a good hotel with good service, pool and conditions and a nice comfortable beach.
Have a good rest everyone.
