I didn’t want to leave Turkey, but they dumped us from the hotel and didn’t go there again, and we tell everyone about our stay there with pleasure and humor.
Gentlemen, I will write about the hotel in detail, because the site is not about the rest in general, which we succeeded very well, but about the Raina beach hotel, the locals, in consonance with the name, say "paradise for scourges. "
I would like to note that all the reviews on all sites about this hotel are the purest truth, and those who respond well are either super-optimists in life, or either ....well, I don’t know who might like it.

Everything in order:
1. Check-in, room and Hammam.

First of all, at the entrance to the hotel, the smell of homeless people catches my nose, at first I thought that this was the normal smell of Turkey. Then you are met by a young man named Zephyr, he says, - Throw things here, let's go, I'll show you a bathhouse. He sits me down in a chair and begins to breed in a natural way for a one-time Hamam + for this subscription for the entire time of rest to visit the sauna.
The Turkish one always smelled of urine, and the Finnish one was pretty good, by the way, so take your pick. My wife wanted to try Hamam, so we took it without resistance (having read the reviews), paying $ 50 for two. By the way, he also appointed us an uncomfortable time, we didn’t have time to relax after a difficult flight, and there was no way to choose another time. Hamam by the way is not very, to be honest. Even during the Hamam, they give a massage, saying about sedentary work, at the end of the massage, the specialist goes somewhere and returns with Zephyr, scribbling on his own in front of you, making smart faces, then Zephyrka says, - our specialist found out that your back is "bad" "and the muscles are tense, you need to do a course of 5 sessions, for all $ 100. I refused culturally, because again it looks like a competent divorce, because I recently underwent an MRI examination in Russia and went to rest completely healthy.
In general, about the settlement and the room.
He settled us at 12 noon, immediately after paying Hamam; -)
The first thing that caught my eye was cigarette packs, a dirty crap toilet bowl, a dirty bed and a persistent, pungent sewer smell in the room and mostly in the toilet room. As we later understood, there are very few workers and they simply do not have time to clean up from 12-00 to 14-00, but do it from 9-00 to 17-00; -)
On this day, after all, in the evening they cleaned us up and gave us! ! ! towels! ! ! Bedding and towels for 8 nights never changed.
The room they gave us was spacious and with a view of the sea, although they are all with a view of half the sea; -) The air conditioning worked, the tiny TV also showed a few Russian channels. The balcony door looks more like a gate, because the cracks there are the size of a finger and the whistle is very loud.

And in a storm it was simply knocked out, since the mechanism was loose and we were busy half the night, creating a structure so that the door would not open; -) Our room was far from the elevator, this is where the music plays until 23-00; -) So the early birds would be uncomfortable. The curtain also flew off, since there were no stops in the structure and the needle from the syringe was still stabbed in the curtain at the level of the hands. All furniture and armchairs are stained with unknown origin.
Safe $1 per day, locked with a key. 250 euros were stolen from one woman from her words, but she kind of kept the key to the safe under her pillow (like she was to blame). The gendarmes came, took the victim to the station, sorted it out, the result is unknown.

2. Food and bar.
On the first day we tried the food. The range is not very large. Delicious bread. Stood in line for the grill for 10 minutes, they fried fish there. Turned out to be very overwhelmed. Many simply spit out before eating.
Vegetables are on the verge of sourness, but sometimes it was possible to grab something. And sometimes you spit out the taste of mold. From fruits, sometimes watermelon and melon, grapes did not reach the table, they were snapped up along the way. The plates are all chipped, the glassware is always dirty. There is always a queue for plates and forks. Juice only tomato. Wine ends very quickly, so you have to keep up. the poor bartender can't cope and there is also a queue for tea. The coffee machine works intermittently, and at times just water flows out of it. Pancakes are fried for lunch, a boy stands and fries one at a time. Again, you have to stand in line for up to 30 minutes to try. Buns are quite edible, a large selection of different jams. Very tasty cupcakes soaked in honey, but they give off the taste of local tap water, which again causes a gag reflex. For example, we took excursions from the locals on the beach, so they fed them tastier at times.
They laughed at us on excursions when we said that they were fed slops in the hotel ...they didn’t believe, but looking at how we were eating chicken skewers on excursions, they mournfully offered to share from our portion; -))))) We also found McDuck in Alanya, it's also not bad there and delicious; -) It was very, very pitiful to look at our pensioners, how they poured soup for themselves in the slop, tears welled up in their eyes.

The bar offers a choice of red and white wine, whiskey, vodka and beer. And then it all ends very quickly. I was very amused by the picture in the restaurant and in the basement in the bar - Huge racks with a variety of drinks and liquors BUT !! ! ! ! consisting of empty bottles : -) Once in the evening we went down to the bar in the evening, offered only vodka, spat, bought good wine in the store and sat in the room. Yes, there is no mini-bar in the room. And the water was left to us after cleaning once.

3. Excursions.
Can be bought on the first day from the hotel guide. We had Alex.
He talked a lot and told lies about local excursions. I think it’s profitable to take only excursions by plane from them, since the locals don’t organize this. The rest is unreasonably expensive. Our Alyosha had such a trick, you don’t order a tour, you don’t give a voucher, they say take a walk for an hour, think ...I can give it back, but they won’t register you with the police and don’t fly away from here. THIS IS SO RIPPLE! ! ! (do not be fooled - a divorce). We took a tour on the Yacht and an excursion to the Canyon in open jeeps from Tolik (he walks along the beach during the day, in the evening in the office next to the pharmacy near the hotel), made a discount and liked the excursions very much, especially on the yacht. Alyosha also cheated us on the course. They exchanged 1000 rubles for 50 lire from him. There, in 50 meters, they change much more profitable! ! ! Keep in mind.

4. WiFi
The room catches from all neighboring hotels with a good signal, but not local. Local free catches in the basement in the bar area, you could check your mail.

5. Beach.
Very close, three minutes walk on an unoccupied road.
For this hotel, a zone 6 meters wide has been allocated. The sunbeds are almost all broken and not enough. The beach is sandy, it's very cool; -) All sorts of parachute rides and stuff right next to each other. The shower with fresh water is quite frail, but there is!

6. Administration and maintenance.
If you bought a hammam and you have any questions - don't give a shit!
If you haven't bought a hammam and you have any questions - don't give a shit!
With us, granny complained that she would complain to our President ...and Zephyr was rude to her in an uncultured way.

7. Gym.
Key locked. Three non-working trainers.

8. Zephyr.
My wife and I were rolling on the floor laughing as Zephyr was in front of his parents trying to calm two little boys in front of their parents.

- If, he says, you behave badly, let's go to circumcise you.
- Are you going to be good? Well done, stay, and you! Let's go for the cut.
Another funny story about him:
A bus with new tourists drives up, Zephyr, rubbing his hands at the top of his voice, shouts to the unfolding driver:
-Today we accept only beautiful young girls, if you didn’t bring it, go back!
Well, as for evil, 5-6 of our pensioners get off the bus, one grandmother with a stick. And he is so sad to the guide who has already brought tourists:
- Well, who did you bring me ...

I think I wrote about everything. Rested very well! Turkey, sea, beach, sun...Beauty. The hotel is not very...
P. S. A small feature of the site is the removed reviews, read more of them.
