No matter how much you tell me about the banality of a beach holiday, I still think that there is no better option for a family holiday than Turkey. The main thing here is to have a good hotel with quality service, good weather, and that there are no problems on the part of the tour operator.
We went to Alanya to the Utopia World 5 * hotel and returned completely delighted. We flew from Yekaterinburg to Alanya, where we were met and safely delivered to our hotel. Utopia World is a fairly new hotel (claiming to be 7 *), well, sooo big. When we were there, some things were still in the process of being completed (for example haha, the heliport had not yet been built), but despite this, there were no inconveniences.
The first thing I want to note is that the hotel stands on top of a mountain, and the entire area around it is a pine grove. As a result, everything together: pines, sea and mountains create such incredible air that, in my opinion, you can go there just to breathe there, not to mention other resort benefits.

There are many pools in the hotel (now from memory I can even tell how many exactly): 4 pieces at least in water parks (there are 2 of them - for children and adults), around the hotel there are 3 large pools, and, for sure, somewhere a couple of them were missing, which we even did not see.
The hotel, of course, has a Turkish bath, a SPA salon, a huge gym overlooking the sea, and I really liked the local massage. There were a surprising number of sports fans among the guests, who could kill themselves in the gym or play tennis all day long. Personally, I felt like an amoeba looking at them, because the maximum that I can do while relaxing is to swim in the pool, thank God there were plenty of them. Those who still did not know how to relax sat on the Internet right in the lobby, therefore, there is such an opportunity there, that is, access to the network is provided.
In general, there are only positive emotions about the hotel: to all the standard conditions of a good 5 * hotel, a chicly landscaped area is added, where you can safely walk in the shade of pine trees, enjoying the magnificent air and landscape
Service at a fairly high level. The quality of food also caused only positive emotions. Separately above the common restaurant is a Turkish restaurant for those who want to more fully experience the local flavor. The food is like in a good 5 * hotel - a lot, tasty, often and varied.
There is also a disco right on the territory of the hotel, at first it alerted us, but it turned out that it was far from the buildings, so the loudly dancing did not interfere with the peacefully sleeping (we visited both, and we can confirm this).
Turkey is still an amazing country, we arrived so happy and tanned that we definitely want to return, and definitely again to this fabulous place. Of course, I cannot but say thanks to the organizers of the trip for the fact that everything was on time and strictly according to the plan of events. A comfortable rest always charges me with a good mood and, in my opinion, the more comfortable it (rest), the longer this charge lasts.
