Спокойный, уютный отель Calm, cozy hotel

Arrived at night, so settled, of course, immediately. We filled out paperwork on compliance with coronavirus safety measures and that was all the checks were over. Tests looked only at the exit from the airport. You can move around the hotel without masks, outside - too, but in public transport, in large shops and cafes you need to wear a mask.
The occupancy of the hotel is small, I think, somewhere around 50%, since it is not the season. The rooms were given with a balcony overlooking the street, 414 and friends 411. But this did not bother us, there was even a little sea view. The only thing is that during the day some kind of hoods worked there and hummed very loudly, you can’t sit with an open balcony, but it didn’t bother us, since there were practically no people in the room. At night we slept with a closed balcony, under the covers, it was already cool, about 13 degrees. There are no mosquitoes, only flies during the day. The room itself is good, not killed, no damage was observed except for minor scuffs on the furniture. Every day they put water in the refrigerator, sometimes mineral water. Cosmetics replenished once a week (shampoos, conditioners, soaps). Cleaning for 4, the dollar was left. Bed linen and towels are clean. The TV was not turned on, but the plasma looks good, friends said - there are both Russian and Ukrainian channels.
Beach towels are provided at the spa on the 6th floor. Towels are shabby, it would be nice to update (in the rooms too). The spa was not visited, the prices are not the cheapest in hotels, as usual.

The lobby bar has very tasty Turkish coffee, not the one from the machine. And we liked the hot chocolate from the machine. The bar also took ayran, champagne, whiskey, beer - it was delicious. We tried some cocktails, but we liked only sour ones, and not very sweet ones, too cloying. Once in the evening they brewed mulled wine, during the animation, it was good.
The food was good, I won’t say that it was a mega variety, but we ate and it was delicious. Lay the cook's food. Standard breakfasts with pancakes, boiled eggs, omelettes, cheeses, cereals with milk, yoghurts and fruits, pastries. There were no cakes for breakfast. Lunches are also standard with a couple of types of meat (mainly chicken, beef, fish), salads that can be mixed and seasoned with oils and sauces. Delicious grilled vegetables, steamed vegetables. There were cakes for lunch, too, many liked it. Fruits - melon, apples, pears, tangerines, oranges, grapes.
Dinners were a little more varied. Soups, by the way, can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even at night, from 11 to midnight. After midnight there is something like sandwiches with vegetables and sausages.
During the day, you can normally refresh yourself in the snack bar: pizza, pasta, sandwiches, nuggets, schnitzel, Caesar, I liked pizza and nuggets the most.
The staff is friendly, mostly understood everything, but better in English. Chefs and waiters are smiling, we gave tips for good service.
The hotel has a lot of Europeans, mostly Germans. There were also a few Turks and Ukrainians. I really liked that it was calm, quiet, no intrusive animation, no drunken noisy companies.
The air temperature was an average of 25 degrees, and the water - 22. There were not many people swimming, because it was fresh enough, not suitable for everyone. Basically, everyone was sunbathing, there were enough sunbeds. By the way, there were no long queues at the bars and in the restaurant, the maximum was 2-3 people. The beach is clean, although small, but well maintained. Entry into the sea is also normal, on the right, if you look at the sea, it is more rocky, on the left - smaller pebbles.
The pool is not heated, we did not swim, although it was cleaned every day and some "walruses" climbed there).

The hotel also has a shop and a hairdresser, did not use. If you walk around the area from the hotel, you will meet a bunch of shops with souvenirs, bags, textiles and other things, all are traded, so you can buy something interesting not for all the money in the world. We also went to Alania, also bought up there, were in Waikiki, there is a choice, prices are approximately the same as in Ukraine.
Excursions were not taken and we were not particularly offered them, even a guide, not in season. Therefore, we went to Alanya by public transport to ride the funicular, walk around the medieval fortress, there are gorgeous views!
We also went by taxi, the drivers are bargaining, but for less than $ 5 you will not be taken even a couple of stops (for example, we went to Avsallar). We also visited the Harbor restaurant in Alanya, we were not particularly impressed with the seafood there, it seems that they were not very fresh, there were too many sour and spicy sauces that completely interrupted the taste of the seafood themselves. And the service is 4 *, the owner of the restaurant revolved around the Germans, they say, is it tasty for them, is it convenient, but no one came up to us, although we never skimp on tips, if there is something for it. But the views from the restaurant are beautiful, of course, everything shone with night lights, the view of the fortress is mesmerizing.
On the day of departure, the bracelets were not cut off, we calmly dined and took drinks at the bar. Irem kindly accompanied us, a girl who meets and communicates with tourists, which also left a good impression. And in general, the Turks are sincere people, they will always treat you with tea and coffee, sweets, and chat with you. Let this be a marketing ploy, but a pleasant one)
In general, it’s also not bad to have a rest out of season in Turkey, but for the heat - to Egypt). I recommend the hotel, definitely, everything suits us personally. Location - far from the airport, but close to Alanya, you can always go there for a walk. The area is not so lively, but you can also find cafes and shops. For picky people who love silence and walking - that's it!
