Хороший отдых за пределами плохого отеля Good stay outside of a bad hotel

All positive reviews, in my opinion, are custom-made. Or they write about a completely different hotel. The hotel is not located in Konakli, as stated on the website, but in Alanya itself. When checking in (regardless of the time of day), a well-established scheme operates - first they check into the building opposite the main building, into rooms where the air conditioner does not work, or something else like that, motivating this by the fact that now is the hot season and free rooms not in the main building. On this occasion, dissatisfied guests of the hotel uselessly brawl at the reception all the time. Paid 30 dollars. for a double room, after which they nevertheless settled in the main building, where everything was fine with air conditioning, but we had to wash the dirty toilet ourselves, the shower was constantly leaking, etc. There is no shower gel, shampoo, refrigerator, so count on these unpleasant nuances. Once they even turned off the water, felt at home : ). I had to come up with a way out of this situation - either swim with mineral water, or draw water from the pool. Meals - except for bread, vegetables and watermelons (which are the only fruits served! ) There is no normal food. We ate at street restaurants. Unsanitary conditions in the hotel are everywhere, forks and knives can be served with dried food remnants. The elevator either works or it doesn't. The pool is open only until 19.00, which surprised us very much, because you want to swim and not in the heat. There were no such restrictions in the "fives" in which they rested earlier in Turkey. These are the basin features of the "triples", apparently. . . However, the location of the hotel is excellent. It is better to pay in Turkish lira, although the dollar, and rubles and euros are also taken without problems to pay for services or goods, but often at an unfavorable rate for you. By the way, about restaurants. When choosing, you need to be very careful. For example, to the right of the exit from the hotel, about 500 meters along the street, there is a Milano restaurant, where customers are impudently deceived. When ordering, instead of fried shrimp, they served stewed vegetables in tomato sauce (similar to vegetable stew served in a hotel), proving that this is the dish you ordered, but you simply don’t see these shrimp, because they are crushed in this vegetable sourdough, And for this rubbish pulled off the equivalent of $10. For your information, it is simply useless in such establishments to prove anything if you are a visitor, and not a local resident. I had to pay and leave hungry with a very unpleasant aftertaste and spoiled mood. Therefore, I advise this so-called restaurant "MILANO" to bypass the tenth road. But we found an excellent restaurant "Gallion's" (however, located far from the hotel - about a kilometer from the hotel, if you walk along the embankment Ataturk Caddesi street, 109 (left turn from the hotel Cleopatra 4 "), where the owner of the restaurant values ​ ​ ​ ​ the reputation of an institution where excellent cuisine and sincere Murat, who works there, create an atmosphere of relaxation and celebration. The choice, of course, is yours, but I strongly advise you to visit this cozy restaurant at least once. By the way, on Thursday evenings, a couple from Bulgaria performs with a song program there, endowed with an ear for music and talent, they sang very beautifully and the repertoire was unobtrusive and pleasant. The choice of entertainment is great in Alanya - from diving to hammam. It all depends on financial capabilities and on who and what they want from the rest. A good hammam in "Aqua City", where for 25 dollars. we had a lot of fun. Entering the sea is a slippery stone, but the water is divine - clear and warm even at night. I also advise you to visit the water park "The land of Legends" in Belek (on the basis of an expensive hotel, I don't remember its name), it's about a couple of hours drive from Alanya, but it's worth it. Night yacht for 45 dollars. and expensive drinks in a bar (with a foam party and a disco) are only suitable for young people, and those over 30, like us, will not be very fun, wasted money and time. In general, you can get used to this hotel mess, and this hotel is only suitable for spending the night and enjoying your vacation OUTSIDE of the hotel. This is not my first time in Turkey, and I have been in hotels of different levels. but this is not a "troika", but an ordinary hostel that has attached stars to itself : ). For those who bought a cheap last minute trip and are planning to spend money on excursions rather than on good service and relaxation in the pool and on the beach in worthy "fives" - normally, this hostel will do : ). To whom "all inclusive" is important in the truest sense of the word, even at the level of the "troika", then you DO NOT HERE. Have a good holiday everyone! !
