The hotel is bad ... Although maybe I'm just very harmful?

Written: 19 july 2008
Travel time: 20 — 27 july 2008
Who does the author recommend the hotel to?: For families with children; For recreation with friends, for young people
Rested in Sunlife Plaza 4 * from July 2.2008 to July 12.2008 together with a friend. If it were not for my work in a travel agency and places to visit after all a couple of cool fives in Turkey (after all, there are good hotels! ), I would swear never to go to Turkey again. Before that, I was in Egypt 2 times in 3 * and 5 *. Everything was JUST GREAT!! ! And here on you...4*...........
If objectively:
"-"
1. The food is bad. The food is not fresh and not varied, a lot is missing, queues for food. Dirty tomatoes and rotten cucumbers just killed us ...
2. The ALL system in bars is valid only from 11:00 to 23:00.
3. Only 2 glasses are given to 1 person at the bar at a time. By no means more.
4. You have to pay $10 for a good room at the reception, otherwise they will put you in the worst room.
5. There are no beach towels, and it is also not allowed to take a towel from the room to the beach.
6. Drinks are not allowed on the beach.

7. Swimsuits are not allowed in the restaurant. Even if you are wearing a skirt or shorts, but no T-shirts, only a swimsuit, they will not let you in.
eight.
At the bar, free spirits are limited to beer, wine, raki (local vodka) and gin. Everything else is paid, including cocktails.
9. Clean up terribly! We lived on the 5th floor. The cleaning lady didn't clean the room for 2 days until you tell the reception that they don't clean it. I went into the room without knocking, opening with my key at 8 in the morning. For 11 days, NEVER changed either towels or bed linen. Vacuumed carpet 2 times in 11 days. Her whole work mainly consisted in the fact that she folded the bedspread with a flower, without even straightening the sheets and pillows ...
10. In our room, the light in the room itself above the mirror did not work, and for the entire check-in, no one fixed it for us, although we asked.
11. Flat cakes are given out during the day not from 12:00 to 17:00 as it is written in the schedule, but only from 12 to 13 and from 15 to 16 hours.
12. The restoration, which was carried out in 2008 in the winter, gave the impression that it was done in haste: the lid on the toilet bowl fell off all the time.
The flush button fell on my head all the time, the sheets were stained from someone's critical days ...We hid wallets and phones under the nightstand, very securely, since no one ever looks in there to sweep.
13. The hotel is located in the village of Avsalar, it's about 40 minutes by bus for $ 3 to Alanya. The last bus from the city to Avsalar leaves Alanya at 1:00 am, after which you can only get to the hotel by taxi - $ 30-40...........
14. Safe in the room for a fee!
Well, from the minuses like everything ...
Now the pros ...I don’t know how many there will be:
"+"
1. This is the first coastline. No matter what they write or say, THIS IS THE FIRST LINE! To the sea 2 minutes on the territory of the hotel past the Grand Sunlife buildings.
2. The hotel has a gym. True, the simulators are broken, but still the gym is open for free access!

3. Great animation. Starting with dance on the beach, morning gymnastics and dance aerobics, ending with the obligatory evening entertainment show and disco.
True disco without foam ...
4. Two active water slides!
5. A good entry into the sea, there are not many large stones, the beach is more sandy than sand and pebble. Pebbles are only sprinkled here and there for the sake of appearance.
6. The beach is clean, apparently because drinks and food are not allowed to be brought there ...
7. A volleyball net is stretched on the beach, where people actively play.
8. There is a pantone from which you can dive into the sea.
9. Security is on duty at the beach.
10. Sunbeds and mattresses on the beach and by the pools for free.
11. There are a lot of young people, but there are even too many children ...
Well, in principle, probably everything about the hotel ...The nearest disco with foam in the neighboring hotel Ozkaymak Aladdin. Entrance to all discos in Alanya and the suburbs is usually free. The closest discotheque is Summer Garden in the village of Konakli, a 10-15 minute drive from Avsalar towards Alanya.
Sunlife Plaza Hotel and Grand Sunlife are one and the same! It's just that Plaza and Grand are different buildings, Grand is a little closer to the sea.
The hotel generally left 50/50 positive and negative emotions, because after all, the rest in general and Turkey in particular brought positive.
