Read a lot of reviews about the hotel before leaving. Don't worry, it's not as bad as some make it out to be. It all depends on the mood.
Accommodation
We were at the hotel around 11:00. Gave at the reception $ 20 and got a room with a sea view. True, the settlement had to wait: we got into the room after about 3 hours. We were immediately brought a bottle of wine and fruit.
The room itself is quite spacious, it has almost everything except a bathrobe and slippers, but this is not critical. Swallows nested on many balconies. Our bird did not interfere with us at all, and by the end of the race there was a replenishment in general - chicks began to look out of the nest. To prevent the swallows from soiling the floor, they put a cloth under the nest and, moreover, changed it.
The room was cleaned every day. And very persistently, at 9.30 in the morning the maid was already knocking on the door. Swans were spun, garbage was removed.

The mini-bar upon check-in contains beer, two large bottles of fanta and cola, small bottles of mineral water, a large bottle of drinking water and juice. Juice and mineral water were added every day.
Still noisy from the road, even with the door closed. In general, if there are no small children, this noise does not interfere with sleep. In addition, the room has very thick black curtains, it saves from the sun in the morning.
Territory
A big hotel should have a big territory. And there is everything - a football field, and swimming pools, and a water park. In general, at least during the day, at least in the evening, everyone will find something to do. In the evening there are discos, live music, hookah, two lobby bars.
There is enough greenery, not Kemer, of course, but quite well. And outside the territory there is nothing special to do: there are construction sites around, the road, it is far from shops. Near the dolphinarium, that's where it's interesting. And if you want to go to the shops, then take the bus (fare - $ 3) and go to Alanya. Not far to go, they will bring you to the market right away.
The stop is right in front of the hotel.
Beach
He is. Yes, they need to be dealt with. The pier is being built, but somehow they are not in a hurry. During our arrival it was stormy, so it was not done at all. There are large boulders in the water, but when the sea is calm, they can be seen. There is a good entrance to the sea with sand on the right side of the pier, right next to the breakwater.
There were always enough sun loungers. On the beach, of course, it would be possible to update the sand. The beach is cleaned, but the sea periodically throws garbage ashore. I even saw a piece of glass on the shore.
Many do not go to the beach at all and relax by the pool with sea water. Although it is also chlorinated, those with sensitive skin were covered with red spots. At least they said that it was from the pool, although it can also be from the sun.
Nutrition
They feed excellent. The main restaurant hosts themed dinners, there are different types of meat, poultry and fish too. With fruit a little tight, but not the season.

Watermelon was constant, green plums and undersized peaches. Restaurants of the hotel are so-so, if you don't go, you won't lose anything. The menu is rather poor.
There was no case that at least one bar squeezed us a cocktail or a beer. In the lobby bar they always pour, no matter how many times they come up. Beer has nuts.
Animation
For children - a complete order. We don’t have our own yet, but it’s clear that the mini-club is interesting for children. On the -2nd floor there is a playroom for children.
The animation team is an amateur, obviously. There is a circle of vacationers with whom these 10-15 people communicate closely. Others don't bother much. In the previous hotel, not so big, of course, there were only four animators. And only Katya managed to run around the entire beach, the entire territory, find everyone, invite them to aerobics or dancing. And here it's zero. For 10 days, we saw how the girls stand at the passage to the hotel and monotonously howl: “Dance, Dance! »
Comedy shows performed by animators are frankly strange.
Maybe this is such subtle humor that is designed for the Germans, but it was clearly not clear to ours. The essence of many numbers is to beat someone properly, to show the fifth point. With us, a man stood up in the middle of the room, said: “Either I'm stupid, or something” - and left. And his compatriots followed him. The rooms are also unused. To start the same number 10 times, this, sorry, is not professional.
But when the hotel invites other artists, it becomes much more interesting. The whole amphitheater is packed. And they invite quite often, which is a plus.
And further
The staff understands and speaks Russian, all are friendly.
Souvenirs in the hotel are much cheaper than in the shops of the villages and Alanya.
If you take a photo shoot in a hotel, be prepared to pay 100-250 bucks. You will be untwisted with terrible force.
I haven't been to the hammam, I don't know. But spa treatments in the same hotel from their guides are $ 20 cheaper, take better from them.

Before long trips to Kirp or Israel, ask the guides in what currency to bring money there. Ours did not warn that in Cyprus 20 bucks is a large bill.
If you are annoyed by a huge number of children of different ages - you are not here. There are a lot of them here.
In general: no need to worry about the reviews. The hotel is good, and if you are going to relax, and not look for flaws, then you will have a great rest. We love to travel to different places, but I would return to this hotel.
