PROS:
- the best location - EVERYTHING is nearby!
- nutrition!
- waiter service!
- great beach!
- many positive young people in the hotel!
MINUSES:
- I did not notice any shortcomings, although even if they were - for such a price - it would be ridiculous to find fault with anything!
So, I’ll tell you in detail, because I arrived tonight and my vacation was filled with great emotions! We flew in a gang of 10 people, took vouchers from Anex Tour with early booking for 13.500 rubles per person for 10 nights (flight from Perm - about 4 hours, whoever lives closer will be cheaper). The plane was delayed on departure to and from there for 1 hour, but we forgave Anex Tour for this - because other operators had more expensive trips to this hotel, and the guides met us very well in Turkey!
The hotel is located in Alanya - from the airport to go there a little more than 110 km, but since we were counting on a minimum budget, we bought tickets to this city.
And, as it turned out, they did not regret it at all (we used to go to Side in the "Washington Resort" 5 *, Kemer in the "Matiate" 4 * - hotels are located in the suburbs, boring places, far from clubs and entertainment). The Hedef Kleopatra Golden Sun 3 * hotel is located in a very good location - in the city center near the best, in my opinion, beach in Turkey - Cleopatra Beach (for comparison: in Kemer the beach was with large pebbles - the size of a ball, and you had to get off the pier; in Side, the entrance to the water was made of small pebbles - it’s also not very convenient to enter) - a beautiful long sandy beach that you can go to even at night - which is very romantic!
We arrived at the hotel early - about 9 o'clock, had breakfast, we were given rooms quickly - already at 10:30-11:00 in the main building, with 10 people they gave a tip of about 20-30 dollars so that there were no pitfalls and all the rooms were on the same floor! We were given the number 415.408, 405.410, 411 - the numbers are simple, but everything you need is there! I was pleased that they did not have centralized conduits, but individual ones!
Our room 415 overlooked the garden side (the bar and the road were on the other side, so it was always quiet), although the guys who lived opposite did not complain! I don’t know who wrote in the reviews about the bus station next to the hotel (I found it only on the last day and I wouldn’t say that it’s right across the street from the hotel) and about broken showers (everything was in place in all five of our rooms )!
The food at the hotel is excellent, of course there is no abundance of lamb dishes, but there is always poultry, fish, liver and beef! Sweets! In a 4-star hotel last year we were fed worse! : (For alcohol, I drank: gin-sprite and whiskey [brandy]-cola, because I don’t drink beer. Friends drank beer - they said that it was very good.
We settled in and went to find out about the hamam (Turkish bath with peeling and foam massage), because it is best to go through this procedure before you start sunbathing - so that the result is more effective!
The hotels have baths, but no offense to their owners, they always cost 1.5-2 times more expensive and the procedure there is 1.5-2 times shorter due to the large number of vacationers! After reading reviews about excursions with great irony (because they thought that these reviews were just self-promotion), we went to look for the person who organized the excursions, about whom everyone writes - Dzhemala! They didn’t buy excursions from hotel guides, no matter how much they frightened them with “insurance” and seduced by “special conditions” - we already went through this when we bought excursions 3 times more expensive and people who bought tickets much cheaper from third-party Turkish firms!
Dzhemal's travel agency "Bulent Travel" was quickly found: from the hotel down to the beach and to the right (between 17 and 18 beaches), we met and decided to buy only a bath from him for $ 15: I liked it very much, especially I liked the oil massage in the bath ( this is already after peeling and foam massage) - 40 minutes a Turkish woman of short stature - washed me all - after that nothing was needed! Unfortunately I didn't ask her name : (
After we went to a night foam disco - all inclusive $ 25! It was sooo fun on the BIG BABA yacht, the good guys in general, the DJ is super! Well, foam! Only two pensioners were bored, who didn't know how they got to this party : ) Fire show in the rock and night swimming in the sea after dancing - unforgettable!
And be sure to take a day trip on a yacht - it costs $ 15 with lunch. There will be about 4-5 swimming stops - be sure to bring a mask for swimming and snorkeling - very beautiful views underwater! A professional photographer works on the yacht, during the voyage he takes pictures of everyone, and by the end of the tour you can buy a finished photo from him - I paid $ 5 - for 3 photos! Animators jump from rocks - very extreme! After the animators, my friends jumped, and this is no less extreme : )))
I agitated friends for raving, but for some reason everyone refused, and I, too, because of this - now I regret it: (because
on the plane, other guys said that it was a very good excursion!
One girl from our company went diving - she really liked it (I understand her, because I myself dived with a mask while walking on a yacht), but unfortunately I didn’t ask how much it costs!
I don’t want my review to look like an advertisement for Jemal, but this person made our vacation unforgettable and this is NOT ONLY because we bought GOOD excursions from him! It’s just that before that I had never met a tour manager in Turkey who would just give us a SIM card so that he could always contact us; who after work accidentally met our company - would invite her to sit in a bar to smoke a hookah at his expense; who called in the evening and said "come out, the taxi is waiting - I will now show you a place that no tourist will ever see for nothing!
"and took us to a special romantic place on the territory of the fortress, which only the local Turkish youth knows about (it offers a very beautiful view of the night lights of Alanya) and then brought back to the hotel; which, when we once again passed by his travel agency with camera, asked us "Looking for a place to take pictures? I have an hour of time - let's run to the bus! ", took us to a special restaurant on the mountain, arranged for us to be allowed to have a photo session there, bought ice cream for everyone and just calmly waited for us to get out there and take pictures; who arranged a surprise for our company in one of the bars - they arranged it especially for us there is a fire show; who, when we unexpectedly gathered for the second time on quads and called him (and he was in the hospital at that time), simply sent a car for us and said "don't worry, you will have quads, then you will bring the money after riding"!
And all this in just 10 days! !
For gifts, first go to the MIGROS supermarket - it is on the right side of the beach from the hotel, if you get a discount card - it will be very good (we took it from Turkish friends, from whom we bought some small things before); buy delight in ordinary stores - the red price for a large package is 3 lira (1 lira = 20 rubles); we bought clothes in a stock store, in which all things cost $ 7 (for example, the same jeans in neighboring stores could cost $ 50-100, and T-shirts $ 15-30) - packed a whole suitcase; we bought a lot of gift magnets - more than 20 pieces - they gave us $ 1 / piece, if you buy less - 1 magnet costs 2 lira!
A bus ride on our arrival cost 1 lira, during the rest it went up to 1.25 lira - it’s better to immediately exchange 20 lira in change for a bus! The last bus from the hotel leaves at 23:40, you can go to the disco on it - all clubs are located next to each other, admission is free!
Back from the club to go to the hotel on foot - 40 minutes of leisurely walking through the night city - absolutely safe! We went to the Robin Hood club 3 times in 10 days (although some of my friends stayed there almost every night)!
TOTAL: Alanya - the best vacation! Do not buy hotels in the suburbs - you will be constantly tied to bus-excursion movements! Hedef Kleopatra Golden Sun - this three-ruble note, which will wipe the nose of many fours with its location, food and the company of people gathered in it!
Huge greetings and thanks to Jemal from Vlad, Vika, Marina, Valera and the rest of the gang from Perm ! ! !
