So, I'll try to tell you about this hotel. Seven floors, cruciform shape, private beach across the street. This is very briefly.
The building is quite old, but was renovated, so it looks fresh from the outside. What can not be said about the internal state, but do not be very demanding and better direct your ardor to rest, but if you still like to look for flaws in a standard room, in a city four, in the outskirts of Alanya, then come here.
Since I'm talking about the rooms, I'll tell you about them, nothing out of the ordinary, a standard room: floor - tiles, beds, bedside tables, armchairs. The remote control from the air conditioner is tightly built into the wall, not usually, but after half an hour you get used to it. TV is present, even detected 3 Russian-language channels. Cleaning is done daily, but somehow sluggishly, but it seems to me that the answer lies in the already well-known phrase "four, Alanya, ass of geography... "

A separate word about the hotel staff. At the reception there is a Turkish girl who speaks a little in Russian, a little in English, but this does not prevent her from immediately upon checking in to tell everyone that there are no normal rooms, but for $ 10 she is heroically ready to solve the problem and provide the best one.
In the lunch area, the "star" of the reception, the Russian-speaking Masha, appears. She didn’t solve a single problem, in case of negativity, she begins to smile wildly, turns around and withdraws into herself. Maybe just leave your job. During her shift, one feature was often discovered, wi-fi stopped working, at the same time, Maria, with her permanent charming smile, for a reward of $ 5, began to offer passwords from a secret wi-fi that "always works, and it's just very good"
There is a problem with wifi in the hotel. Either buy a local SIM card (from 20 to 80 local money: from 2 to 10 gigs of Internet, maybe there are some other subtleties, I don’t know, I didn’t use it), or sit on the reception and try to find the network. The distribution speed is low, but mail-news-social networks are enough for the simplest actions (again, if you score for a while and stupidly wait for it to go / download)
Nutrition. Surprisingly, there are no questions about food at all: 5-6 hot dishes, more than 10 salads, about the same amount of sweets, pickles, fruits. There was always meat, often chicken, sometimes beef, sometimes fish. Of fruits, almost always - watermelons, sometimes apples and oranges. For cooking, special thanks to the cook, tasty, edible and without pepper at all, which is important when stuffing food into a child, the child ate like crazy and demanded more!
A spoon of tar. Very often cutlery suddenly disappears, there is food, the chef smiles, but there are no forks. Or everything is there, the chef's radiant smile, forks, (oh, miracle! ) Spoons, but no plates. The problem is almost not solved through the staff, it's just worth the wait and everything will be, even moderately washed.
Do not come to meals first. Never. 40-30 minutes to the end. All meals are available. But there will be no queue for hot for 5-10 minutes.

Contingent: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova. Parents with children, grandparents + children, party-goers are minimal, from this we conclude: whoever goes for club life is definitely not for you.
Animation: Nominally yes. In the afternoon, there is 1 competition by the pool, in the morning - darts for 30-40 minutes, after lunch volleyball on the beach, and even then not always, in the evening mini-disco is standard with a delay and completely repetitive from day to day, up to cries at certain moments, movements and music.
Gym. Yes, do not be surprised, he is) But very nominally. 2 treadmills, a bicycle, a stepper, 2 multi-complexes that require maintenance not now, but a few years ago. There are practically no free weights - 1 straight bar and 6 different pancakes. There are no dumbbells. The air conditioner doesn't work. Zero ventilation. In general, you will definitely not get pleasure from visiting.
SPA center. Can't say, I didn't visit. On the first day at the hotel, a person from this center is guaranteed to come up to you and offer services, depending on your response and behavior, there will be his "attack". I was offered only on the day of arrival, he asked some guests quite demandingly and constantly during the rest.
Hookah. In the shop near the pool there is a hookah man and you can order this wonderful device for some miserable 30 lire. Delicious, but nothing more. It seems that someone has already smoked a hookah)) it is useless to understand, it is easier to move to the next street and enjoy smoking in full.
Drive to the center of Alanya. We used minibuses. 3 lira per adult. Quite far and hot too. Drive about 20-30 minutes. There is one caveat, from the hotel you are guaranteed to get to the center, but back - look carefully at the names of minibuses or ask the driver. It is enough for the driver to name the hotel or show the bracelet, the name should be Kargicak, otherwise you will go a little to the side or you will not reach 3-4 km.
Conclusion: if the budget does not allow more or you need the sea and average service, then you are definitely here.
