We rested with a child of 11 years in August 2021.
The sea is clean and warm. Pebble coast. Bottom stones. It hurt to go in. In some places there were huge boulders. In the first days I hurt my leg about them. Because of this, people bathe in one place. Sometimes the water was filled with ash from fires, even charred pieces of wood were found in the water. Once my husband saw a plane that threw water on the mountains, in the place of the fire.
The room is small, but we didn't really stay in it. The air conditioning worked very poorly, at a minimum temperature of 16 degrees it was constantly hot. It looks like he just drove hot air, but did not cool. Even the open balcony did not save. Sleep was unbearable. The fridge was also barely cold. Looks like the room was empty for a long time. Even for a surcharge, they did not want to change it for us. The food is monotonous but delicious. They weren't hungry. Every day chicken, fish, many different salads, stewed vegetables. Very tasty cakes. Large selection of sweets. From fruits: watermelons, melons, plums, peaches, grapes, oranges. A variety of cocktails at the bar, beer, cola, sprite, juices. The wine is disgusting, the taste of colored alcohol. The queues for everything are huge, you had to stand for a long time. At the entrance to the restaurant, the temperature was taken and masks were given out.

The pool is not heated, with a pleasant comfortable water temperature. There are few sun loungers, we had to borrow from the very morning, otherwise we could only sit on a chair. Many who left towels on the sun loungers and did not come for half a day. The same situation with sun loungers on the sea.
There are a lot of people. Mostly from Russia and Ukraine, units of the local population.
Of the animators, 2 guys for adult animation and a Russian-speaking girl for mini-disco for children. Program every evening. There was a foamy disco, a Turkish night. During the day, morning exercises, water aerobics, water polo, volleyball, darts.
Hamam paid, more expensive than outside the hotel in the village. All visitors immediately begin to process and lure.
Beach towels are free. You can change every day. The room was changed once, and then she asked. To clean the room, it was not noticeable. But once or twice the garbage was taken out.
The tour operator from Tui is not a very friendly girl. If you don’t take a tour with her, she doesn’t really want to communicate. There was no such thing as a free excursion to the waterfalls, I didn’t hear anything about it at all. They took from her only free shopping, but they took her not to Alanya, but to a place in Konakli, and then only to one leather and fur store. Here, too, they process it to the fullest, so that it doesn’t come out without purchases. In general, I didn't like it very much. Turks are very obsessive.
We went out for a walk in the village. We took an evening sightseeing tour of Alanya from local tour agencies. It was disappointing that at first there was a purely Polish guide, since there were a large number of Polish tourists. Then a Russian-speaking guide appeared, but he did not pay much attention to us and constantly got lost somewhere. From this, they did not feel very comfortable and were afraid to get lost themselves.
In general, I liked the rest, if you close your eyes to some cons. As for the first time in Turkey, just fine.
In general, next time we will be more selective when choosing a place to stay.
