We have been in Turkey since 2008.
Against the backdrop of inexpensive 5 star hotels in Alanya from Konakli to Mahmutlar, this hotel is quite consistent with 4 stars, because it does not have a sea view. By the way, the private beach is the same 150 meters as many fives, which are separated from the beach by a motorway. In our case, the highway is far away and does not create excessive noise.
The staff is friendly and not spoiled for tips, although TIP BOX boxes are everywhere.

Considering that mostly foreigners have a rest, there is a language barrier. But this can only negatively manifest itself in the event of a problem, which in itself is rare. And if something - the hotel guide speaks Russian. It is easier for Europeans - the staff is already trained. But to this it should be noted that all newcomers traditionally fall into the area of ​ ​ attention of SPA services. The main player of this team, Anya, speaks all the necessary languages, is friendly and sociable. Unlike the guide, she is at the hotel every day. If you do not have the talent to set people against you, then in difficult times, Anya will not refuse to support you. We are not SPA lovers and visit the hammam only if the weather deteriorates. This time I didn’t have to, so there’s nothing to say, except that they didn’t hear criticism from friends. This has happened in the past.
Among the guests were mostly friendly Dutch and Germans with children. They lay all the time by the pools and slides. Ukraine is at sea. Russia is not enough - and those restrained who are in no hurry to relax with their fellow tribesmen. There are already some like that.
I was surprised that in October the hotel was sold out. This is despite the fact that the neighboring Mc Arancia Resort & SPA, CARETTA BEACH, Telatiye Resort are noticeably empty. Adequate value for money.
The beach is sandy. Canopies, deck chairs. For beach towels they take some euros, so they used their own. The disadvantages of the beach are smokers and their cigarette butts, although there were enough bins for everyone. The entrance to the sea is normal in the left third of the beach. First, some pebbles, then sand, then after 30 meters a step half a meter up and a flat stone bottom. The main thing is to immediately calculate this step under water. On the remaining two-thirds of the beach, the entrance is full of large stones, take care of your feet. With increased excitement, a lifeguard sits on the tower and a red flag is hung out.
The menu is traditional. There is enough food for everyone and always. Both the first and the last. From meat (we do not discuss semi-finished products) - chicken is available every day, lamb and stewed beef almost every day, fried fish - almost every one, fish fillet - a couple of times in 8 days. There were also shrimp and mussels, but this is not very much among salads. We got it.
On the beach - shawarma, potatoes, beer, cola, coffee.
By the pools after dinner, ice cream is good and something sweet is baked, as much as the queue runs. There is a hairdresser and tattoo parlor on site. There is a room with some gaming devices, but for some reason it was always empty.

Animators on the beach are almost invisible, and inside the hotel they turn on the audience quite well before dinner and the kids before bed. In the evening, in parallel with the lobby bar, there is a paid exit. Ask why? I myself am surprised - it is in demand among women.
The hotel has luggage storage, but they don't really offer it. The conclusion suggests itself. For beginners, things in the lobby do not look cozy. The people want to move in before 14. They are met for a fee. As everywhere. Choose yourself. We haven't bothered about this for a long time. Documents in a backpack and on the sea.
On travel - the topic is the same everywhere, therefore it is not discussed. And for those who like to walk around the neighborhood - the center of the village. Konakli one km. You can ride the shuttle bus for a dollar from the nose 4 or 5 stops. There, on Wednesdays, there is a long traveling bazaar. Prices for everything are lower than in stores.
That's all. They did not leave willingly. We are not fans of repeat visits, but if there are doubts with the choice, then we already have a fallback option for ourselves.
