Aska Club N is an excellent hotel with a small and well-groomed territory. We rested on May 15-26 with my wife and a two-year-old child, rest for 5!
Whatever hotel you choose in Turkey, be sure to look at Google-mpes, wikimapia, where it is located and evaluate for yourself how many meters to the beach and whether the highway passes along the beach. Hotel Aska Club N is located at the beginning of Okurcalar village (Chimtur township), three hundred meters from the exit from the hotel - Alara Grand Bazaar and bus / minibus stop to Manavgat and Alanya. There is no noise or dust from the road either in the hotel or on the beach.
Territory.
There are nine buildings in total: in the first - reception (settlement), living rooms and cinna bar (round-the-clock); from the second to the eighth - only residential, the main building - the ninth - it contains living rooms, Topaz bar (tea, coffee), View bar, restaurant. In our opinion, Nos. 1.2, 3.5 are a bit far away, 4 and 7 are closer, and 6.8, 9 are 40 steps and 50 meters from the beach. We did not need the main building, because.
the child loves to walk and would still run around the entire territory of the hotel.
Number.
We, without any bribes, got a room on the 4th floor of the 4th building overlooking the sea. Perhaps this happened because of our two-year-old son, all the doors were open to our baby - almost every hotel employee strove to pat him on the cheek (by the end of the holiday, the baby simply began to fight off such close attention) and created all possible conditions for his comfortable rest.
The room has two single beds (we easily pushed them together), an excellent chair-bed for a child, comfortable lockers (including a minibar-fridge), a pair of mirrors and even an ottoman. In a small shower cabin, our miracle was not difficult to wash. We went on the UA system (ultra-all inclusive, orange bracelets upon check-in) and the minibar of the room was full, free daily - 2 waters of 0.5 liters, 2 beers of 0.33 and 6 cans of sweet water from Pepsico - clear, yellow and dark.
Naturally, we didn’t have time to drink it, besides, the replenishment of the minibar almost always happened during the child’s sleep, but for $ 1 the boy silently filled it, hid on tiptoe and the son slept peacefully. The room was cleaned daily, for $ 1-2 the bedspreads were laid out with “snowflakes”, the baby changed towels and bedding daily, for adults after 3 days.
The air conditioner in the room, unfortunately, is central, but after the first day and +24 it was moved to +22 in the building, very comfortable, the inclusion of the air conditioner is programmed.
The safe in the room is turned on by default and costs 2 euros per day, so if you do not need it, you must immediately refuse it so as not to pay the above-mentioned amount upon departure. We did not have jewelry with us, and we carried small cash, photos and mobile phones with us, however, when we forgot them in the room, nothing happened to them.
Nutrition.
In the main restaurant (minus the first floor of building 9) breakfast from 7 to 10, lunch from 12-30 to 14-30 and dinner from 19-00 to 21-30, for dinner you must come not in beachwear, shorts are allowed the rest of the time . If you don’t want to follow such a simple rule, then you should complain only about yourself, and not about the hotel employees, in our presence, one Russian lady was delicately pointed out that they don’t go to a restaurant in a bathing suit and a wet pareo.
Our advice is simple - do not take salads, they really are prepared from what is badly eaten "live", there are always fresh and fried-steamed vegetables, chicken, turkey, fish, oranges, apples, in the evening - watermelon, strawberries (at other times strawberries replaced with peaches), and it is at the strawberries and watermelons that you have to put a cook, because the corpulent and German and Russian ladies cheerfully put themselves on 2 table plates of berries with a slide and are indignant if they fail to “repeat the approach”.
Barbecue is often fried in the restaurant; in our time, it was made from poultry, lamb, and huge tuna. Cakes for lunch and dinner are very tasty (and there are often more than 15 types), so there is a chance to get better.
I assure you that if you do not abuse alcohol, then you will not have any problems with the intestines, and the abundance and choice of alcohol (even Turkish, diluted) in the hotel will pleasantly surprise you. Turkish vermouth, IMHO, is quite possible to drink, although not a martini, but, frankly, cognac is worse than Russian mountain ash on cognac both in taste and strength. If you complain that waiters like Germans more than Russians, then remember that the Germans always give those from 1 to 5 euros, and the Russians only if they need to bring a lot of drinks. All our acquaintances drank a little and culturally and were quite satisfied with the service and rest.
As for juices like "invite".
Yes, “Falez”, this is the name of this brand, these are not natural juices, but in Russia a lot of them are sold in packages like “Yes”, “Frustyle”, etc. , these are juice-containing drinks (10%), a couple of times they were too much diluted, but they are clearly more beneficial to drink than, for example, Pepsi - 120 g of sugar per liter and even more preservatives. For some reason, Pepsi no one is outraged.
In the snack bar by the pool from 12 to 16 there are a lot of all kinds of snacks, including barbecue, but even in May there was a queue, in season, it will probably be more difficult to get 3 plates of hot, given the small capacity of the bar. Closer to 17, they bake a lot of delicious rolls (they are always available in the restaurant) and treat them to delicious ice cream for free, however, you will have to stand in line.
We have not been to a la carte restaurants, because
their menu and duration of service are not at all suitable for our two-year-old son, but the reviews about them are different, and on May 25 there was a shortage in the Chinese restaurant, from 11 am to 12 pm they sign up for the restaurant and we were approached with an offer to go to the restaurant, this is clearly not an indicator wild popularity
If the described rich and varied diet did not suit you, for example, you cannot drink salty ayran instead of kefir or eat cottage cheese with onions instead of curd mass with dried apricots, then go to the store behind the hotel, 150 meters away, the sign "Manav" - vegetable, we are there bought sweet strawberries for $2 (3 lira, 1.5 euros) per kilo, yoghurts, juices are also available there.
Other services.
We didn't go to the hammam or the spa. We only note that a 90-minute course of spa treatments, which cost $ 50 at the hotel, can be purchased for $ 30 in other places in Turkey.
We have not been to the disco either, but this hotel is positioned as a place for families with children, pensioners, a relaxing holiday, so the claims of our compatriots that the songs are “wrong” are not accepted. Come to other hotels to “clubbing”, there are neighboring Arikanda de Luxe and Leodikia Kirman resort, discos are better there, according to reviews, but the cost of living in these hotels is 2-3 times higher, the territory of those hotels is also small, on the shores of Justiniano Bay it’s not in vain not a single square meter of land will be wasted.
Do not contact local photographers, these are the only people who chase small children from the playground, as there you need to photograph an overweight couple (well, the photo turned out, apparently! ) And they charge $ 5 per photo.
Beach and pools.
Both the beach and the pools are cleaned daily, the main thing is to clean everything up in numerous bins, and not throw cigarette butts under your feet, there were enough sunbeds and mattresses for everyone in May.
Hotel cats love to drink water from the pool, on the one hand, the paws of these cats are not very clean, on the other hand, this indicates an acceptable water quality.
Clean towels are given free of charge on the minus second floor of the main building, building 9, but only from 9-30, due to the late arrival of towels from the laundry. Towels can be changed until 7:30 pm. The sea is not the cleanest (bay), but the warmest on the Antalya coast, at +21 in Kemer and +22 in Alanya, we had +23 after May 23. The entrance to the sea is convenient, small pebbles, if you walk three hundred meters past the Justinano Park Conti hotel to a wild beach (on the left, if you look at the sea), you can swim in the shallows and catch crabs under the stones.
Beach pleasures are not cheap - from $ 10 for a trip on a banana to $ 60 for a parachute flight, and, like everything in a hotel, it is more profitable to buy in euros, they give 1.5-1.6 dollars for a euro, due to the fact that the hotel was originally oriented on the Germans.
Tours and shopping.
Exit the hotel and go straight along the path, then go left along the "subway" route, and that's 300 meters from the Grand Alara Bazaar. In Alanya, where we went by bus (fare = 3.5 lira per adult), everything is the same. Bargain until you win, but to our chagrin, no one (except for a trip on a yacht) “doubles” throws off, however, we probably were not assertive enough and received a discount of only 20-40%, this suited us. Do not buy excursions from hotel guides, you can get to Alanya yourself three times cheaper, a trip on a yacht cost us $ 5 per person (the price started from $ 10 for each), you can also get to the Water Planet water park without problems - one bus stop, the fare is worth , about 1 lira (20 rubles), a day in the water park - $ 17-18.
Unfortunately, we traveled with Pegasus, the advantage is one - cheap, there are many inconveniences, the transfer from the airport (90 km) - 3 hours, because the bus broke down, and we stopped by the “lured” shops, God forbid, there buy something, everything is twice or three times more expensive.
We flew on an old “carcass” (in our case, the cost of the net flight turned out to be = $ 300, as indicated in the ticket price certificate, but they sold us a tour based on the calculation of the ticket price = $ 420, this is a Pegasus tourist commission of 40%), the hotel guide Umar (Pegasus) didn't give a damn about the tourists, charged them two prices for excursions and demanded that we warn the tourists who came with us from the same city about the time of the return departure. We told him that it was his job, and with laziness he nevertheless called some of them in the room. In general, the type is unpleasant, it is better not to have anything to do with him!
Animation.
Children's animation is designed for children 4-8 years old, they will like it, the girl Gyozda tries very hard, although she does not know much (the leaders of Russian camps are more professional). Take discs with your favorite cartoons with you to Aska Club N, if you are traveling with kids, give Gozda a disc and she will be happy to turn them on on the big screen of the animation arena every day at 20-15.
In the meantime, in the hotel catalog there are only “Well, wait a minute”, and “Ice Age” and a few more cartoons in Russian, including the terrible Shrek, which provokes problems with the children's psyche.
German children, according to observations, are more aggressive than Russians, more cocky and ill-mannered, no one upsets them and their parents are not visible. An unfamiliar man very simply formulated a rule for his five-year-old son: “You beware of these Germans, for no reason, they can even give you a melon. ”
Adult animation consists of shows like "Gorodok" for the needs of the public, sometimes more vulgar, sometimes more resourceful, they try very hard, but as best they can.
Summary - in the hotel, almost every employee strives to help you, excellent accommodation and food (well, there are no Russian soups, pork and pies in Turkey, you are abroad) and even a Pegasus tourist cannot spoil the impression of a great vacation.
