Good day to all! After 6 months, I still got around to writing about a wonderful vacation spent in Stella! In the spring of 2010, I personally chose a hotel for a long time (I read a lot of reviews), after the trip I already gave advice, but I never got around to reviewing it : ). Chirkan perhaps now. In most of the reviews written the true truth - the hotel for its price category is simply excellent. If it is considered as a top 5 for a fashionable holiday - then modestly (a small area, for example), but look at the prices and everything will fall into place. The staff is well trained and friendly! Most speak Russian (quite understandable for communication). A few do not use the "great and mighty" (a man who writes down at the reception for a visit to an a la carte restaurant), but he is fluent in German and English, so do not accuse him of ignorance, but pay tribute. School knowledge of English was enough for me to book a table.
The rooms are standard with everything you need for a comfortable overnight stay. In vain they write about dirt - for example, my eyesight is -2, so everything just shone : ) Animators - honestly work out their bread. A standard set of entertainment (bocha, darts, aerobics, water polo, volleyball, in the evening - a disco). Food is always and wherever you want. You should have seen the eyes of an old woman from the islands of Great Britain, who sat down next to us to have breakfast with one boiled egg : )... Somewhere here I read that in a restaurant a man was kicked out from the table, since the Turks had nowhere to sit... Complete nonsense!! ! Well, except that he slept with his face in a salad : ) For children, expanse - with us (two couples) there were two boys - 8 and 12 years old. They had time everywhere - and slides, and pools, and darts. Turks and animators show noticeable sympathy for children, try to pay more attention, etc. For children younger than (3-5) years old, there is a children's room (NOT the police! ) - they work with them, decorate, play.
For the little ones, high chairs are provided in the dining room, a children's pool is available (a puddle in depth). The sea is nearby (behind the fence). The beach is small pebbles, the strip is not wide, at the entrance after 3-4 meters - depth. The sea under water in terms of living creatures is dead. There is almost no life. In this regard, it is inferior to Black (I am silent about Red - because I am still just going). There is a spa in the hotel - upon arrival they grab your hand - run show, tell, faithfully look into your eyes, smile... "Only for you and only now Promotion, discount - 49 dollars per person, but generally 60 !! ! "It affects the Germans (there are quite a lot of them in the hotel) - I got it, paid, rested. We slowly checked into the room, had lunch, went out to the pool and a Russian girl from the same salon approached us with an offer of $ 35 per person.

After conferring with a friend and smiling with the girl, we sent our wives for procedures for $ 30 (and this is the price of a city bath with more modest conditions and you still have to go there). BUT! And the kids were also taken away from us for a free soapy massage : ). With a sense of accomplishment, we went to drink beer and watch aerobics : ) We had very "hot" battles in water polo - during the rest period, more or less permanent teams were formed (the hotel is small) and peculiar teams were formed: the CIS (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus), Poland, Germany. The Poles lost a little to everyone in a row, and the guys from the Bundestim turned out to be a good opponent, but they are still powerless against our Belarusian striker Max! Battles on the water did not develop into an interethnic conflict and, fortunately, did not become a pretext for the 3rd World War... Of the entire contingent of vacationers, I have never seen ugly drunks! Not,
I’m lying - on our last day of rest, “Madam Broshkina” from the Commonwealth drove in - she bit for 3-4 hours and “pshekala” with a disgruntled look at the staff that “they don’t give her watermelons and don’t speak Polish. ” What can I say. . . The human factor! Such individuals are found among any peoples and... God be their judge!
We walked along the seashore - the passage is free. In Stella, our bracelets were white and the same turned out to be in Mukarnas (a gorgeous five meters 600-700 meters along the coast towards Alanya). Therefore, turning them inside out (to hide the inscription), we freely walked around another hotel, rode their slides and tasted their food. Everything is known in comparison - in Mukarnas the range is much wider, the area is larger, the slides are higher, the pools are full-flowing, BUT !! ! There are funds - pay much more (I don’t remember the price now), but Stella was enough for me, and for the difference you can collect souvenirs, go on excursions, and in general - save money.
We personally did not go on excursions, but we chose to take a walk in the nearest town - Alanya. On the minibus (they run every 15 minutes) we went for 4 Turkish money to the very center (about 30 km, which is really inconvenient - it often stops and can go 50-60 minutes) and there we walked along the embankment. On another day, having reached the same embankment in the same way, they paid 10 American money per person and sailed away for a boat trip (4-5 hours with lunch). Beautiful views, swimming in the open sea and all this for 80 UAH. . . (these are such Ukrainian papers: ) In the Crimea for 80 UAH. you will be taken out for 1 hour 500 meters from the shore on the motor ship "The Way to a Bright Future", thrown overboard (everyone is also swimming in the open sea) and asked "do not be late, the ship is sailing".

On the eve of the day of our departure (17.05) there was a show - "Mr. and Mrs. " of the hotel. Two couples from Ukraine (Kyiv and Nikolaev), Russia (somewhere far away) and Germany (the poor - how hard it is for them to understand our humor... ) took part in the competition.
Your obedient servant, Adrenaline D. A. turned out to be one of the participants in a pair of Nikolaev. The contests were cool from the series "Oh, this wedding, wedding... ". Since I often do photo and video recording of wedding celebrations, I was familiar with competitions, respectively! And the Germans. . . It would be better if they surrendered like in 1945. . . : ) to understand what they want from them : ) With a sense of accomplishment and a bottle of Turkish wine as a gift, we left to pack our bags... It's time to go home.
Summing up, I’ll say: for resting your soul and body, the choice is excellent, but I won’t go there a second time - there are still so many places in the world to visit... BUT I WILL RECOMMEND "STELLA" TO OTHERS. Have a nice holiday everyone!
