So I returned once again from such a native Turkey! I must say right away that this time I chose the hotel myself, shoveled a bunch of reviews about different hotels in Alanya, both on Russian and foreign sites. Therefore, all responsibility for the hotel was completely on me : ) For 5 days, I checked the availability of the hotel and the price again. Wow, only 10550 in 7 days!!! ! Awesome! So, there is money, a printout with the name of the hotel and the flights I want to fly with me too, I run to buy a tour. The travel agency asked if anyone went through them to this hotel. The girl smiled sweetly and said that I was the first!!! ! Yeaaaa! And then the hope flashed that perhaps there would be few of our compatriots in the hotel ? ! (I’ll say right away that indeed, there are a lot of Germans resting there, but there are also enough of ours, especially young people). So I would not recommend this hotel to mothers with children. At least if I went with a child, I would choose something else. Well,
the tour is bought, the dollars are also with me, things are collected....to the airport! Yes, when buying a tour, I immediately requested a return flight from Turkey not at 13.30, as it was automatically suggested on the site, but at 11.20 (when buying a tour, do not be afraid to ask if there are any other flight options, or check in advance on the site, and then tell the operator your wishes). By the way, I didn’t regret a bit that I flew on the first flight, because there were only 16 people on the whole plane, but the second flight was packed. In addition, because of the eruption, the volcanoes closed the sky over Ukrina on the day of departure, so our flight took off at 13.15, but the 2nd flight was about 2 hours later.
But it was a small digression, and now about the hotel. I must say right away that the hotel consists of several buildings - the main one and 2 or 3 more (each on its own territory). At the time of my vacation, only the main building was working, while the rest were being renovated. Therefore, I will talk about the main building.

I will say that I have never regretted choosing this particular hotel. Nearby is Cleopatra Beach and Cleopatra Hermes, so people from these hotels complained about terrible food and a small selection of dishes (1-2 hot dishes, a couple of salads, rarely sweets). And in Cleopatra Hermes, the restaurant is generally on the street, so the food immediately cooled down. But this is a small digression. With regards to Hedef, the hotel can be put 3+. I'll start with the fact that it is conveniently located, there are many shops nearby, an internet cafe (1.5 lira per hour) and a bus station (that is, you can go to Antalya and other cities on your own). By the way, very clean. A maximum of a minute walk to Cleopatra Beach. We sunbathed on the sand (we took bedspreads from the hotel, but unnoticed), or you can lay your own towel or pareo and sunbathe. I went alone several times, so no one stole things. Beach chairs are paid. Didn't ask for prices. Further, the hotel (master building) is 6-storey. On the 1st floor reception and dining room,
there are also tables on the veranda (some overlook the street, and some overlook the pool). The rooms either face the garden with the pool or the street). I lived in a room overlooking the street (the road and the neighboring hotel building) + a piece of the sea on the left, and the bus station square and mountains on the right. Nice look. The room has a TV, 2 beds, wardrobes, bedside tables, a mirror, 2 plastic chairs and a table on the loggia. There is a conditioner. Cleaning every day, but towels changed only if requested. I must say, the towels are grayish in appearance : ))) In the bathroom there is a shower, sink and toilet bowl + toilet paper and soap. Therefore, take shower gel, shampoo, toothbrushes, rinse aid, toothpaste and other accessories with you. Thank God I carry all this with me, otherwise I would have to buy it there : ( I liked the staff at the reception. Perhaps due to the fact that the hotel was not yet completely full, they told me that if I didn’t like the room, I could change it. At the same time, I did not give money, but according to people's opinions,
who rested in the same hotel in the summer, when all the rooms are occupied, it is better, if possible, to settle in the main building, because it is better. As for food, they gave fish, chicken, potatoes, rice, pasta, stew, a couple of times they gave meat - this is from hot. I don't know what kind of meat, because I'm indifferent to it. Therefore, I had enough vegetables, rice, fish and chicken dishes. They cook delicious. Different bread, pizza, tortillas with potatoes and cottage cheese with herbs. A lot of greens + tomatoes, cucumbers, salads, canned peppers and something else. From fruits - oranges and apples. There are a lot of sweets, even baked cakes. Still all sorts of sauces, etc. + Yoghurts and canned fruits (for breakfast) - instead of baking. Yes, I completely forgot, some complained that some of the dishes were spicy. I can’t judge objectively, because I’ve been used to spicy food since childhood, so everything was fine for me, I even had to add pepper : ))) From drinks - beer, red and white wine, tea, coffee, hot chocolate,
Oh, and sprite-type drinks. Juice can also be made from fresh oranges, but for a fee. There is a juicer there. The pool is small. but clean, next to a bar. There is a water slide in the neighboring building, which was being renovated.

So, what else, about washing - ironing at the hotel, I won’t say the price, because I was traveling with my travel iron : ) It seems that I wrote everything. If you have questions, ask. The general impression - for 10550 I had a great rest. If next time I go to Alanya, I will choose this hotel. Although, there was the Aladdin hotel, also not far away, I want to look for reviews about it, I liked it visually : )
Oh, I almost forgot, there is a mosque nearby, so somewhere between 5 and 6 in the morning you can be awakened by the call of the muijin to prayer. But, as a rule, from a conversation with the topic of who lived in the hotel (many young people), this did not bother anyone. There is also a telephone box next to the hotel, so you can call by card without any problems. In 5-7 minutes there is an exchange office (change dollars and euros for lira at the rate of the bank).
The point is located south of the hotel exit along the road (behind the Bim store, turn to the taxi stand and behind the trees the building and the first floor are painted yellow. This is what you need)
Well, actually let me finish the short story on this. If you have any questions, please contact : )
