Не советую I do not advise

In Turkey, we ended up in this hotel involuntarily, since Join Up canceled the planned tour 2 weeks before our vacation, and we hastily chose an alternative for little money, as we booked very early and therefore cheap.

I always try to choose a hotel as close to the sea as possible, and Melissa is exactly the same, if not for one BUT: there is an intercity highway between the hotel and the sea, along which trucks, buses and cars rush around the clock. We got a room with a direct view of the pool, the sea and, accordingly, the highway, so it was impossible to sleep with an open balcony, and the air conditioner was dirty and moldy, which no one cleaned for us during our stay.

The food was terrible, there was practically nothing to eat. The meat was only for dinner, I want to note the delicious grilled trout one of the evenings, but you always have to stand in line for meat. We went to eat in Konakli, in cafes where locals ate.

Animation: the bar played mainly Russian pop music, sometimes including the same song in a circle, so that the roof began to go.

It was nice to talk to the owner of the hotel, as we spoke only in English, he paid attention to us and told us a lot about his family, children and the hotel. He even prepared cocktails for us, from which we left the hotel with a decent hangover))

Now about the cons: the main disadvantage of the hotel is its guests. After this rest, I came to the conclusion that I would only rest in hotels for foreigners. Constantly occupied tables with panama hats, then with a rag, from which you have to walk with full plates and look for where to sit down to eat, sun loungers constantly occupied by the same people, both at the pool and on the beach. They came, there was nowhere to lie down - they lay on the sand, people leave, things are left. We return to the hotel - the same people are sitting on the sun loungers by the pool. Outrageous.
There are 30 sun loungers, what is there, what is there, there are 100-130 people in the hotel. But some frankly do not care about others. No one has yet bothered to hold the doors of their rooms when they close, so from 7 in the morning we woke up from wild slams of doors from drafts along the corridors - people ran to the beach to take sun loungers.

We did not try food and drinks on the beach. The beach is in the trash (((after Bulgaria, where special vehicles sifted the sand every evening, the sight was depressing.

Join up'a travel agent, like his "colleagues" in Egypt, imposed excursions from the agency, intimidating that we would be killed / stolen / sent into slavery and no one would help us. But this has nothing to do with the hotel.

Olesya is really pleasant, responsive, suggested how to get to Alanya and where it is better to buy a sim card for normal internet.
