So many people, so many opinions. . . A trip to Turkey has always been a big dream for me, which was constantly postponed for some reason. After my trip, I just fell in love with this country, and the rest in this hotel also played some role. I think that the point is not primarily in the hotel and service, but in the purpose for which a person comes there. If your goal is relaxation, and the inner component is a positive charge of emotions, then you will like any place you would not go to. Everything that will surround you will be pleasant and sweet. But, unfortunately, not everyone sets such a goal for themselves, so they see what they want to see: dirty dishes, disgruntled faces of the staff, flaws in the surrounding nature and much more. Such a number of negative reviews is only because there are people who feel bad everywhere. It's just, I think these people just had nothing to do. It was so funny to me when people screaming at the reception were indignant that they had not changed their bedding for two days, you might think that at home they change it every day. I just wanted to come up and say: “Guys, you came to relax for a week, there is such a beautiful sea next to you, and you are wasting precious time on some kind of nit-picking. ” Here are the morons!
My friend and I just wanted to leave all the daily worries and problems and have a real vacation. Everything around us was something new, not at all like the Russian counterpart. This does not mean that Russia is bad, just different. Every day was planned for us and therefore we had no time to “sit and wait whether they will come to us today to clean up or not, whether they will steal a cotton swab or not... ”.
I completely disagree with the opinion about the disgruntled staff. I was very surprised by the constantly cheerful mood of all the people who work here: there is always a smile on their faces, a constant desire to somehow help. On the first day, I badly injured my leg when I went deeper into the sea (I was too lazy to wait for the seller in the hotel store to be free), the bartender came up to me with everything I needed and treated my leg, and when we left the beach he gave me the same rubber slippers, just so. (In general, buy these slippers right away and everything will be ok! ) Even a sore leg did not spoil my positive attitude, although I bandaged the wounds until departure. The guys who work at the bar on the beach are always friendly and, not knowing Russian, they always try to joke somehow. And the main bartender is always humming something, he doesn’t care how much! The guys from the pool bar work so quickly, especially in the evening, and one of the bottom does everything so skillfully that I even somehow tried to capture it on camera.

As for animation, this is an amateur business, as they say, you can't please everyone. Some were cool, because they were chosen for those people who were resting at that moment in the hotel. Of course, they were interesting for everyone, these were the Miss Happy Elegance and Mister Happy Elegance contests, the confrontation was not between people, but between countries, thanks to these events, many guests became friends. Some did not like the gay animator, but I found his behavior even funny. But most of all I liked the animator BOBO, a cool and cheerful guy who does not let people get bored around the pool during the day. Once he invited me to take a walk around the town in the evening, there were four of us, for a long time I didn’t make fun and laugh like that night.
Every day it was possible to go to Alanya for a disco, 15 minutes and already in place, and most importantly, much cheaper than through a guide 8 dollars instead of 20. The entire animation team went with us, so it was not boring.
In terms of food, I am not a picky person, there is always something to choose from and in whatever quantity you want, be it meat or fish. In the end, I came there to rest, I don’t eat!! ! I even gained 3 kg.
The Turkish bath was very memorable, I had no idea what it was and what it was eaten with, but it turned out to be very “tasty” and at a normal price. In some hotels they overestimate, here 25, as in the most famous one, which everyone is offered to go to. Don't go anywhere, it's cool here too, especially the last stage, when they do a relaxing massage.
It is a very calm place where you can hear the sound of the waves at night, feel the sea breeze, sitting on the balcony in the evening. At first, my friend and I were very upset that our hotel was not in Alanya itself, and then, after we arrived from the disco, we realized that we were even very lucky, you can sleep with an open balcony and you don’t have to close it because of loud music. In the very center it is very noisy, but this is again an amateur.
My letter is addressed, first of all, to those pessimists who, like me once before leaving, read reviews and instead of thinking about the good, wind themselves up.
Guys, if your goal is to relax, then close this Internet and be in anticipation of a wave of positive and super emotions. Have a nice holiday!! !
