“Лучший в Конаклы” “Best in Konakli”

This is probably one of the best hotels in the Alanya area. A small and very well-planned territory (for those who have not been to Alanya, the specifics of the region are as follows, if you do not take very expensive luxury hotels - the territories of all are narrow and long, located perpendicular to the sea, and often the rooms overlook the neighboring hotel very, very close , these are basically the same type of buildings 3 *, 4 * or even 5 *. ) This hotel is the highlight of Konakli in design (everything is done in art deco style using natural and now fashionable fabrics with linen), external and internal. Everything is clean and fresh, no, of course, after a year of work, you can find a withered tree on the balcony railing or soiled tulle, but I think these are exceptions.
We arrived at the hotel early at 10-00, through the fault of Pegasus, we spent 2 hours in the lobby, for which they later apologized at the reception, and gave a room on the 5th floor with a side sea view. The room is beautiful, 2 electronic keys, etc. Accessories in the bathroom were left only upon arrival (soap, sewing kit, shower cap) Water in the minibar and juices. the ashtray was thrown out, but the traces of the ashes on the table were not wiped off. The food is excellent, there is a lot, there is enough for everyone, there are small queues. There is a diet table, all kinds of cereals for children, and semolina and delicious rice, buckwheat for breakfast, delicious pancakes and pastries. For lunch, fried liver, shrimp salad or pickled mussels. The most important thing is that there is a lot of everything, varied and tasty. And sweets and fruits (plums, peaches, watermelons, melons). A beautifully decorated restaurant with a fairly large number of tables both inside and outside, some people have lunch and dinner at the bar by the beach, there is a smaller selection. In general, there are a lot of people in the hotel with and without children, but everything in the hotel is cleverly designed so that no one hangs out in the same square, but they scatter somewhere around the territory. The patio (inside the horseshoe) looks like the square of a small town with different cafes, there is also a lounge bar with tables and a pastry shop with its pavilions (by the way, it has delicious Turkish coffee and tea for free). Everyone will find a place for himself both during the day and in the evening after dinner. Red wine is not bad, but it used to be better, Ephesus beer is excellent.
The sea is warm with big waves. Along all the beaches in Konakli there is a natural volcanic slab, wavy and non-slip if there are no algae on it. For many, it will be problematic to enter the sea from the shore, you need rubber slippers for the Red Sea. For the rest, there are ladders from the pontoon immediately to the depth. On the pontoon there is a sufficient number of sun loungers and umbrellas, there is enough space for everyone. And the fact that the administration takes towels left on the sunbeds for a long time is just wonderful - by 10 o'clock in the morning the floor of the pontoon and most of the beach have a bunch of free sunbeds, even in the first row. Everyone leaves in a disciplined manner and takes away towels. By the way, hot sand on the beach is constantly poured with water. It is always windy on the pontoon and you can lie all day without feeling the heat. There is no wind at all on the beach, but closer to the bar, pool and water slides. Among the nearby hotels in Quattro - the best pontoon, beach line and even entry into the sea. Unfortunately, specifically in Konakli, I would not consider and recommend other hotels (although before that we had reviewed a lot of them when choosing a tour).

In the evening, the hotel has animation for both children and adults, show programs and competitions for amateurs. A fairly adequate guide Artem from Pegasus at the hotel, although we didn’t need him. The only surprise I had was the complete disregard of the dress code for dinner at the restaurant by the visitors. All men are in plaid shorts, regardless of nationality. I specifically counted no more than five men in trousers and closed shoes per evening. By the way, about nationalities, the hotel is more represented by Germans and Poles, Austrians. There are fewer Russian speakers (without singling out the country), which is wildly pleasing. Although mostly Russia, Ukraine and Belarus are single tourists. Were from the Baltic States and many locals and Spaniards. The hotel staff is constantly washing something, cleaning, all the time at work, they control everything, they ask if everyone is happy. I recommend the hotel for a great inexpensive holiday in the Alanya area. So there are few really good and high-quality fives, basically everything is very expensive. I think that if you have a small budget and want 5 *, then you need to start with this region and this hotel. Each time preparing for a trip, I independently review a bunch of hotels and reviews to find the best option for us, then on the way I see most of the hotels live (albeit from the outside) and from each trip I bring a desire to go to a hotel or hotels next time, which I saw while relaxing. But in the Alanya region, there is so far only one hotel that I would like to visit, but in other regions there are much more.
