Was in this hotel with children 4 and 16 years old last year in 2006 in the period from 16.06 to 8.07.

We were three mothers with children and everyone was unanimous in their opinion about this hotel. Everything was great and everyone was very happy. Both mothers and children. I can’t say that there were even small unpleasant moments. Although I'm used to relaxing in European countries and in Turkey was the first time. Of course, at first it was unusual for me to have such a huge number of people everywhere. But soon I got used to it and just stopped noticing them. Everything was obscured by the hot sun, the clear and warm sea, the light sound of the surf.


The sea all the time was simply magnificent, clean and very warm +26. The children and I did not climb out of the water, and did not go to the pools at all. The most striking thing is that both my daughter and I had all our dermatitis and eczema, which we have been treating for a long time, disappeared exactly three days later. I think that this is an indicator of both a clean sea and ecology in general.
And the food was of high quality, with the exception of the so-called powdered juices. The service is good, the hotel is clean and tidy, the animation is good. I saw my eldest son only at breakfast and at night after the disco. He was loaded to the fullest, made friends with animators and his peers, while in other countries he suffered from boredom. My daughter enjoyed going to the kids club, she was very interested. The child can be safely left from morning until 16.00 and even food for children is brought to the kids club.

Around, of course, the hotels are more luxurious than our Riva Club N. But we were looking for an economy option to stay for three weeks. There are places to walk around the area. At the end of the beach there is a small market where you can find clothes and souvenirs. We went for a walk around the village itself. Across the road from the hotel is a good gold shop. We went to Avsalar, 15 minutes from the hotel by taxi or you can get there by bus, but from the highway.
There are a lot of shops in Avsalar and prices are lower than near our hotel. Bargain on everything, yield twice. They didn’t go to Alanya, they didn’t want to torment the children in this heat. If you go across the highway, then there are two good pharmacies, where there are all the necessary medicines.

I finally remembered the negative. When we arrived at the hotel, and it was already at 3 am, the receptionist gave the manager $50 to put us in good rooms. And in the internet I read that the best ones are 8 and 9 buildings. But we have not yet orientated, and even at night. We go into our room with the children, I open the balcony, and right in front of me is the construction of a new hotel and the hum of working mechanisms. There is no sea and not close, only dust flies through the window. I'm angry how the vixen went down the elevator to the reception and how she started yelling at this manager. My indignation knew no bounds. I say, give back 50 bucks or sit in the 9th building.

He looks at me with an angelic look, did not expect that we, with small, aching children, after the flight and, in addition, at 4 in the morning, will consider where he settled us. And he quickly found rooms for us in block 9, which we were very pleased with in the morning, since everything was close by and overlooking the sea. And block number 1, where the reception is located and where he wanted to settle us, is the worst in terms of location. The main thing is that it was the only unpleasant moment in our holiday.

Full compliance with price and quality! And everything else is fine, this year we are going with the children again. Happy rest!! !
