Нам было хорошо! We were fine!

Seventh time in Turkey, there is something to compare. I gave the hotel a seven, rather evaluating the quality of the rest in general... And it was good. Numbers? 508, overlooking the sea and the pool - bright and not at all tired. Yes, perhaps for people who are used to wagons of shampoos and soaps, it was not enough to put soap in their suitcases, but there was no particular tension with him. Elevators, doors, air conditioners worked and these 4 elevators, even with a weight limit ~ for 2 people, did an excellent job. Food. . . People, what are you talking about? Is that how you eat at home? Stuffing full plates with meat, fish, cheeses, vegetables and fruits? Or were you expecting lumps of lard in Turkish sausage and frankfurters? Breakfast - scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, yogurt, pastries, vegetables. . . What do you need? Lunch, dinner - fish, meat, kebabs, kebabs, liver and more. Yes, not 10 types of shish kebabs and not 10 types of fish, but everything is cooked deliciously. Pastries are not in a huge assortment, as in Egypt, but there was enough of it and it was delicious. From berries-fruits, watermelon (at the beginning), melon, grapes, pears, apples, tangerines, peaches were served. There was enough, although starving tourists from the hungry regions of our eastern neighbors managed to fill full plates of these same peaches...
Wine white and pink bottled, sour, but common, red - not for everyone. There were few people in the hotel, the Germans were almost leaving, and the main contingent was Russians who did not stray into violent herds, a few Ukrainians and the remnants of peaceful elderly Germans. Therefore, there were no queues for distribution. The staff is polite and attentive. The only misunderstanding occurred in the snack bar, where a man who did not understand a word in all four languages ​ ​ ​ ​ known to me without a mask and gloves grabbed buns and a salad for a hamburger with his bare hands. With the help of the general manager, the situation was resolved. The beer is decent enough. 3 weeks ago in Larisa Phaselis, its quality was worse (and there they served crayfish under it! ) Finishing the topic of food and comparing its quality with the mentioned Tekirovskaya Larisa, I can express my opinion: there it was more and more varied, but in Likus it was tastier...
Beach. Sand, small pebbles at the entrance to the sea. No wonder the elderly Germans love this hotel - it's comfortable to enter the water. But I like the smallest white-shell pebbles, like on Cleopatra Beach in Alanya. There were enough sun loungers for everyone, no one occupied at 6.00 either on the beach or in the pool. Upon arrival, the sea was shaking and the water was unclear for a couple of days, but then it was crystal clear. Fun. Coronovirus, brothers. . . All contact games are prohibited. Darts and exercises-gymnastics, which were held by the charming Ksyusha from Kazakhstan (greetings from Kyiv! ). The tennis court is decent, but there was only one comrade, who was training serves in splendid isolation... For women, right across the road, 300 meters away, there is a huge clothing Grand Bazaar, in which you will find everything. Do not buy into a scam for a free transfer to expensive shops that hotel guides will sell you. You can find everything here and much cheaper. On the right, at the end of the complex there is a food Migros. Crossing the road - a tunnel, at the exit there is a kiosk, where they squeeze out delicious fresh pomegranate juice ($ 1), there are also other fruits.

If you need the most profitable exchange, then looking at the Bazaar, go left until you see the Vodofone pavilion. It's the best rate there. At the hotel, the rate was 7 lira per dollar, in exchange offices 7.35, there 7.5. It is more profitable to take dollars than lira. . . at bazaars and small points 1$=1€. In Migras, you can pay with dollars in small denominations 5-10-20 and change is given in lira, which is quite convenient and at a normal rate. If you want to go to Alanya, take the funicular to the fortress, swim on Cleopatra Beach, then stop right in front of the hotel, 250 meters away. Travel 8 lira. The funicular is 33 lira in two directions, in one - 26. From above, gorgeous views of the whole of Alanya.
Conclusion: I will give the hotel a solid four and my impressions of it are positive. Compact, green and clean area. No need to drag hundreds of meters, but through the tunnels to the sea, which is famous for hotels on the Alanya coast. There are no crowds of people prancing around the restaurant and the beach. There are no wild cries of "Tagiiel" and choral performance of "Victory Day". If you are late for lunch from an excursion, then you can have a hearty snack in a snack bar or gozlum with ayran. No ice cream? You in the hotel would be good and would not be offered. But for real delicious Turkish ice cream made from goat milk, come to Alanya. 5-10 lira. . . Thanks to Turkey and Lykus for a great vacation! Will I return to Lycus? Yes, but when I go to the second circle : ), because we have not yet covered a thousand hotels of the first circle! : )
P. S. Separately, I make a callout for men, lovers of fishing. Travel spinning and you can enjoy your favorite business here. There are at least 2 options: the sea and the Alara River. In the first case, you need a large float and several hooks with a heavy weight for long and medium casting or bombard. Bait baits - loaf, maggots (yes, yes, I took it with me so that my wife would not see : )). Catch - mullet, balloon (local variation of fugu) and all sorts of variations of small coral fish. You might get a garfish. You can try on turntables and small oscillators, such as a castmaster. It is difficult to catch on feeder rigs, stones, hooks... You can go to capes on the left and right. Local fishermen meet there in the morning.
It also makes sense to go to Alara. We managed to catch a few mullets there, although we were counting on a larger catch. Having shoveled a bunch of forums, I managed to find information that you can catch eel and carp there. But they did not cross. . . But there is beautiful nature, rock outcrops, rifts, lush greenery. You can also go to Alara to the mouth (far away, along the beach and it’s not beautiful there) or, bypassing the Grand Bazaar on the left, past the mosque and cemetery (remains on the right), along the road, going down to the greenhouses. Pass them and upstream 50 meters you will run into a rift. On the contrary, a beautiful, large grotto.

Phew and rolled! Sorry for so much buffoonery : )
