This is a five star hotel. I don't know why it says 4 stars.
Before I begin the description, I will say that I did not want to leave at all. Even two weeks later!
For those who need a break from the hustle and bustle of the city - go here!

The hotel has a very large area, which is essentially a botanical garden. A huge amount of greenery, grass everywhere, a variety of trees, date and banana palms, shrubs, flower beds. Everything blooms and smells! Alleys, where you can walk and relax, are equipped with comfortable benches. Everything is immersed in greenery. Every day, gardeners take care of this garden, water the plants so that they do not wither, remove fallen leaves and debris. There are also coniferous trees that fill the morning air with the smell of pine needles. It is very pleasant to breathe such air when you leave the room and go to have breakfast. The hotel buildings are entwined with some climbing plants, which in turn also bloom. The names of all plants and trees can be read on the plates that are located next to them.
-
The hotel has three outdoor swimming pools. There are sun loungers and umbrellas around. There is another indoor pool, which is located in the spa center. The disadvantage of the pools is that sunbeds must be borrowed in advance in the morning. Since some smart people throw towels on sunbeds, and then hang out for about half a day. It may not be enough if you suddenly want to lie there after dinner. This can be very annoying if you pay attention to it. But personally, I don't really like swimming in pools. Yes, and there was no need for it. Nearby there is a huge beach and the sea. There is always enough.
-
The beach at the hotel is also very large. The coast is covered with sand and small stones. Lots of sunbeds and umbrellas. Choose any. For some reason, there were few people on the beach, which could not but rejoice. Nobody bothers anyone. Everyone swims and sunbathe for their own pleasure. The beach is clean. It is also removed all the time. On both sides of the beach there is security, which does not allow any suspicious persons into the hotel.
-
The sea is special. His Turks call "White". A little fog forms on the surface of the sea. After swimming for several days in the sea, I understood where this fog comes from.
The sea is very warm. So much so that you almost do not feel the difference in temperature. At this point it is salty. But I also realized that there is a kind of fresh current that sometimes dilutes this sea. The water becomes almost unsalted, and the temperature drops noticeably. Some people don't like it, but I do. In hot weather, it is better to plunge into a cool meor than into a warm one. Also, the water becomes clearer. And from this temperature difference between the warm sea and the cold current on the surface, this white fog is formed above the surface. Jellyfish brrr no. : )
-
There is a tent on the beach, where for a fee you can order a ride on a banana, cheesecake, jet ski, sailboat, paraselling, catamaran, skiing, etc.
-

The sun is very aggressive. Therefore, I advise you to stock up on all sorts of creams. For sunburn and burns.
-
Also, if you are traveling with children, then the hotel has a special area with a rubber coating instead of concrete, where children can have fun. You can also leave children under the supervision of hotel staff. I saw that next to the playground there are benches and tables where children are looked after while they play various games.
-
Also on site there are three bars where you can sit, relax, drink water, eat, play board games. Fanta, cola, tonic, other carbonated drinks, juices (not fresh, of course, but not nasty jupis either). All inclusive. Get in at least. I will not say anything about alcohol - I did not drink it. A glass of fresh costs one dollar.
-
Food. How can you not say about the food in the restaurant. All inclusive. Lots of food. Lots of. Diverse. All meats except pork. Chicken, turkey. Fish. Vegetables. Roast. Stewed. Boiled. Grilled. There were also spaghetti, pasta, rice, etc. But personally I didn't eat it there. : ) There is enough at home. Pizza. There are all sorts of sauces. They did sushi. Served shrimp and squid. Cheeses of different types. Ice cream. All kinds of sweets. Cakes. Bakery. Honey. Fruits are fresh. Watermelon, melon, apricots, plums, grapes, etc. It's impossible to list everything. In general, you can just burst and your eyes run wide. Everything is very tasty. Free white and red wine.
Also!! ! I want to note that the restaurant hosts themed evenings with the preparation of corresponding dishes from one of the cuisines of the countries of the world. Waiters also dress up accordingly.

Special thanks to the staff! Almost worn on the hands. Courteous so that it becomes directly uncomfortable. They bring it, they take it away, they serve it. I put the empty plate aside - they immediately removed it. The room is cleaned every day! Qualitatively. And no tip is required! There are some hotels that actually do this. : ( But even if they don't ask for a tip, you can still leave one dollar for a tip. I think it won't hurt, if you don't mind, of course. . . Believe me. It will be nice for you and the staff. Personally, I am in the restaurant and left it in the room.
I also want to say a separate word about risepshin. Although the Maritim hotel is German, there are Russian-speaking staff on the reception!! ! It's just great!! ! Special thanks to the girl Evgenia at the risepshina.

The hotel rooms are beautiful and comfortable. Almost all with sea views. My wife and I were in room 3407. I liked it very much. Last floor. The room has a TV and air conditioning. Found only two Russian channels. Everything is clean and tidy. Two wardrobes, a table, a chest of drawers, an armchair, a balcony with a table and chairs, on the balcony there is a hanger where you can dry your clothes. There is also a safe deposit box. I don't remember how much. We didn't order. Things were not missing. Two floor lamps by the bed and three wall lamps in the room. Tulle, curtains. Everything is great!
-
The hotel also has animation. The truth is, I don't like self-employment. Therefore, my wife and I went only once. We laughed a little. There are Russian-speaking animators.
During the daytime, animators entertain people. They play darts with them, shoot from a bow, water polo, boccia (I still don’t understand what it is), exercises. aerobics, all kinds of water fun, dancing, volleyball, mini golf. All in all, they don't get bored. There are table tennis, tennis and tennis courts. Billiards is paid. There is a free gym. But only sports shoes are allowed.
-
Another plus. Toilets on site are clean and cleaned throughout the day. Everything is clean and as it should be.
-
Barkers go around the hotel to the hotel spa, but my wife and I found the prices a bit high. We booked a trip to the spa from our guide for only $25. It was cool! Order. You will not regret. Hamam, bath, sauna, jacuzzi, peeling, foam massage, aroma massage. It's all included in this price. The spa center is delivered in 15 minutes. Then they are taken back to the hotel.
-

Also, a photographer runs around the hotel, who can click you a couple of times. Don't give up. Then you can find sketches of your photos at a special stand and, if you wish, order a photo for yourself. Also, if you want to make a professional photo shoot, you can contact the same photographer. He takes at least 10 photos, which cost $5.5 each. Total $55 for at least 10 photos.
-
We also booked an excursion on a yacht in Alanya from the guide. It was also very interesting. $40 per person.
-
Before the trip, do not forget to change small dollars. It is difficult to exchange them at the hotel.
Dollars and euros go freely. With a guide, we paid in dollars, shopping centers in Alanya are more willing to accept dollars.
But the prices of the shop on the territory of the hotel were indicated in euros, although you can also freely pay in dollars at the exchange rate.

By the way. You can take laptops with you. There is internet. Free. By WiFi. On the reception take the login and password and use it. Very good at the bar. I also got it to my room, though not very well... But as I understand it, the antennas are placed throughout the hotel.
-
I hope I haven't missed anything. . . If anything, I'll add. . . : )
By the way, I am attaching a photo to my story.
All soft landing and pleasant rest.
