Hotel ratings by criteria:
The hotel was chosen based on price and reviews. In principle, the hotel lived up to its expectations. In the photographs, I didn’t really like the hall, with sovdep chandeliers. The hotel, in terms of architecture, may not be the most chic among the hotels in Alanya, but it is quite good. On excursions I had to meet Russian-speaking tourists who were not very happy with their hotels, although the buildings of their hotels themselves looked more luxurious. I didn’t notice any special shortcomings behind the hotel, except perhaps for burnt-out umbrellas and a not very beautiful (for my taste) hall. There is one more thing - their lunch bags are disgusting. It is better to take care of your own breakfast during the tour. Take eggs, pizza from the hotel and most importantly bring water. On excursions, all drinks are paid, but you really want to drink, because it's hot. The reviews read that there is a cemetery near the hotel, it really is there. But it is fenced off from the beach, and in general, it does not cause negative and depressing emotions, like our cemeteries. All in white marble. Grasshoppers chirp. I liked the good organization. Cleaning every day. Young friendly maids are removed. The bar serves delicious Turkish coffee in addition to local spirits. The Internet costs - 3 dollars for half an hour, 5 - for an hour.
The territory of the hotel is just right in terms of area. Not big (where you get tired to reach the center), not small. Very green. Mountains are visible behind the hotel. There is a beautiful children's area. Does the hotel have a tennis court. Billiard room. Turkish bath with sauna, swimming pool, Turkish bath, massage room, fitness equipment and relaxation area. Two outdoor pools. One is quiet. Another with slides. There are several lobby bars. Closed (inside) and open (overlooking the sea) restaurant. Live music. Animation. Works every day. In the morning and afternoon exercises, competitions in the pool, water polo, volleyball. Show in the evening. Sometimes by local forces, sometimes outside teams come. They performed a typical Caucasian-Georgian dance . . but at the end, for some reason, they brought out the flag of Turkey.
Again, in the reviews we read that you can go on a leather tour, buy nothing, and then walk around the city. We tried. As a result, as the hostages were sitting in the mall. We just left and were taken back immediately. The city has never been seen. But if you go from the local hotel leather shop, then this is possible.

I was pleased with the local guide from Pegasus - Renat, who is constantly at the hotel. Renat was born in Kazakhstan. He speaks excellent Russian. Very responsible. I somehow lost my purse, turned to him - they found it.
Souvenirs home is better to buy in Kestel. It's cheaper there. Leave the hotel, and go left (if you stand with your back to the hotel) to the nearest gas station. Before refueling there is a sign - Shopping center. Rise up. Find a pharmacy there. To the left of the pharmacy (if you stand facing it), there is a shop whose owner made very good discounts.
From entertainment, be sure to visit the Turkish night and the fires of Anatolia (or Troy). Excursions - Demre-Mira-Kekova and Pamukkale (it is better to take two days).
They offer excursions to Jerusalem, Cairo, and Cyprus. All cost about $400.
Meals three times a day. Tasty. There are dishes for vegetarians. The main problem is how not to overeat. From fruits - watermelons and melons in unlimited quantities. They gave me peaches. In fact, they were taken apart very quickly. Plums, grapes, apples, pears. Lots of desserts.
In between breakfast, lunch and dinner, gozleme, pizza, fried cutlets, french fries, donuts and a couple of flour items are baked on the street. As for drinks, there is always airan, colored chilled citrus drinks, cola, fanta, sprite, schweppes, beer (near one of the pools and in restaurants and bars), hot coffee machine, chocolate, light coffee, espresso, mocachinno, cappuccino. Fruit, herbal, black and green tea. From local alcohol - cognac Napoleon, crayfish, whiskey, vodka, etc.
We were placed on the first floor. From the room the sea was not visible, and there was no balcony, but from the room you could go straight to the street and walk to the pool. The rooms have a bathroom, TV with Russian channels, air conditioning, which turns off if the balcony door is opened. Pair of bedside tables. Pair of wall lamps. One outdoor. Closet. table and a couple of beautiful chairs. The room is quite comfortable.
