We rested in May from the 1st to the 15th, well, what can we say, the hotel left some ambiguous impression. It seems that the hotel is quite modern, compact, the rooms are cozy, but all sorts of little things spoil the impression.
1. Soap dispensers, when we entered the room, we didn’t immediately notice that the dispenser was broken, it’s generally some kind of tricky system and you’ll figure out how to use it, when using it, it just fell off the wall, we called the master at the reception and waited for him 3 days, every day, reminding us of our problem, until we stumbled upon a senior manager, and he sent a master to us in 10 minutes.
2. Number. the windows of the room overlooked the roof of the stage for animation, in which the animation went on until 11 o'clock, interfering with us every evening, at the request to relocate, we were refused, there are no rooms. So, if the windows of your room overlook the pool with slides, and you have small children , immediately go and change the number, you will not have peace, only after 12.00, when the animation will take place in the hotel and in neighboring hotels. Moreover, closed windows will not save you, because. double-glazed windows do not hold back noise at all.

3. Here everyone wrote about good food, to be honest, for the first time I came across a "5" hotel, where for breakfast there is nothing but scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, rolls, cucumber, tomatoes, 2 types of soy sausage, it saved that there was cheese , bread, apples and olives, for 15 days there were pancakes 3 times, portioned omelettes with different fillings were not as classy, ​ ​ there were no cereals either, there were breakfast cereals that tasted very nasty and muesli.
Food for lunch and dinner as in a boarding house for diabetics, little fried, everything stewed, boiled, tasteless, with a minimum of spices and salt, at least there were more vegetables. There was no grill on the street. There was meat, veal, fish and chicken, mackerel fish, and all soy cutlets. It seems that there is a lot of food, but there is nothing to choose. there were no other seafood, some powdered soups, for some reason rice was mixed with pasta and some kind of cereal. Sweets seemed to be normal and tea was delicious custard. The only plus of the restaurant is the good service of the waiters, they quickly cleaned the dirty dishes, brought the ordered drinks quite quickly.
4. beach and sea. Of course, entering the sea is the problem of all Konakli, the entry is bad, you can’t go in without slippers, the stones are sharp, the sea is constantly not calm, a couple of times there was calm on the sea. The pier was assembled only on the 5th, but you can’t dive from it, the depth is written 1.5 meters. So you have to suffer with the sunset, the waves really blow into the sea, it’s scary to swim. Another minus is that the sun beds are without mattresses, the mattress costs 1 euro per day. There is a bar on the beach, where from 11 to 16 you can have a bite to eat with hamburgers, potatoes, dough tubes with cheese, spaghetti and salad. 5 minutes to the sea, you need to go around the merhaba hotel
5. The animation seems to be good, they constantly did something with the people, but we are not fans of it, we don’t need it, the children’s disco is not bad in my opinion. a fat man with wings will perform with her, he got the nickname of a titmouse from us, for his huge belly.

6. The territory is not large, but very cozy, there are a lot of trees around the perimeter, everything is blooming and it smells very good, we liked to pull out a sunbed under a tree next to the gazebo and sunbathe. The trees are not big yet, since the hotel is new. They wrote that there is a wasteland opposite, now there is no wasteland, there is a park and a children's complex with a swing.
7. There is WIFI in the lobby bar, which is very convenient
8. Slides are open from 11 am to 1 pm and from 2 pm to 4 pm.
The hotel is a 20-minute walk from the center of Konaklov, they took excursions to the Aldi tour, I really liked the jeep tour from the hummingbird tour, it's just super, it consists of a jeep trip through the mountains, visiting an orange orchard, trout fishing, I personally caught 3 fish , a very decent picnic and a visit to a farm where there are ostriches, llamas and....a lot of pigs, they breed them for visiting people who live in Antalya or Alanya.
We ourselves went to Alanya by public transport, climbed on foot to the top, where there is an observation deck (entrance 10 lire), on the way back we found a turtle on the road. We got back to the bottom on bus number 4, it goes to the damlatash cave, we visited it too, it’s very beautiful inside, stalagmites, stalactites, dusk and very humid. We also went to the museum in Alanya, where peacocks walk nearby in the park and turtles live in the pool. We also went to Dim tea, but apparently it’s not the season yet, except for us there weren’t any tourists at all. I really liked the excursion on the Big Baba yacht, it was very fun and beautiful.
Souvenirs and sweets.

near the station in alanya, there is a bakery, they sell Turkish delight, very cheaply at 7 and 10 lira per kg, loose baklava and Turkish sweets from dough like thin hairs for 2 lira. Very tasty and fresh. Cheaper nowhere seen. In Konakli, we found 3 grocery stores with fixed prices, we liked Hasbul the most, they took awesome loose olives there for 7 liras per kg, halva with fruits for 5 liras, extra virgin olive oil for 9 liras and all sorts of things, be sure to try Turkish seeds , I don’t like them at all, but I really liked them here, they are so big and very salty. I liked Ayran very much. It’s not difficult to find shops, you need to go straight at the mosque first, turn left at the first turn, go straight, cross the two-lane road, go straight, don’t turn anywhere straight, the hospital landmark should be on your left, by the way, every Wednesday there is a market opposite the shops, where there are a lot of fruit is sold and all sorts of things, we bought bamboo towels and souvenirs there very cheaply
