The rooms are bright, with lots of full-length mirrors and a large number of thoughtful and comfortable shelves, a cozy balcony with a towel dryer. It's nice that the design of the hotel is not made in a heavy pompous style, but in a modern one, there are a lot of successful lighting solutions, which is quite consistent with the light mood of a seaside vacation. On one side of the hotel there is an area of private villas and actually adjoining the neighboring hotel "Chenger Beach", and on the other side there is a clean green field - space and freedom, including from all the benefits of civilization)), evening promenade in the surrounding area, alas, so far not interesting.
Now the main thing is the beach and the sea.
The beach line itself is quite wide, sandy, but closer to entering the sea there are pebbles (this is both a plus and a minus: plus - the water is crystal clear, minus - I, for example, didn’t go there without corals, but some easily ran barefoot, that’s already who are used to it), when entering the water, after 15 steps, the depth is up to the neck, so you can immediately swim - for me this is another plus. The infrastructure on the beach itself is standard: a bar, a restaurant, toilets, changing rooms, foot and shower washrooms, three rows of long canopies - there is a lot of space both in the shade and on the very shore along the sea. Sunbeds, mattresses, tables - all in a large number, now they have already pulled a volleyball net and are leveling the sandy area. On the left, towards Alanya, a small island with a ridge of mountains is clearly visible - a beautiful view both from the balcony and from the shore.
The call to the reception from the room is 0 (for some reason, it is not indicated anywhere in the room itself, so I give it for reference).
In my opinion, the PROS of the hotel:
- a lot of sockets - we counted 7 pieces in the room, while the TV and refrigerator are connected somewhere behind the panel separately;
- good room lighting - 3 bright sconces, 2 muted bedside lamps on a flexible base with the ability to adjust the position, 3 more lamps in the bathroom and a lamp near the closet;
- toilet and shower room are separate (a big plus! ), with two translucent doors, between them there is a room with a sink, a hairdryer, a retractable mirror, as well as a convenient large shelf under the sink itself for personal hygiene products and cosmetics, so as not to be splashed with water and not touched maids during cleaning with hands in work gloves, rearranging from place to place;
- the rooms are not just furniture arrangement, but interesting design, so you feel comfort;
- on the balcony (our room 1237) one feels privacy, goes directly to the pools and the sea (a full view of the coastline, but, unfortunately, the route running along the coast is visible), separated from neighboring balconies, i. e. as if in the very center of the ledge of the hotel building - very convenient, completely free from prying eyes, it's nice;
- the orthopedic mattress on the bed is comfortable, but the pillows had to be upgraded by ourselves)) At first it seemed that they were slightly inflated, it turned out that between the pillowcase and the pillow there was also a kind of windproof cover made of some naked synthetics. We immediately took it off and everything is fine, so there are no complaints about the pillows either.
- in the room there are, in addition to light waffle blankets, a couple of warm ones (in the morning in spring this is quite important);
- the room also has control buttons for the LED display “Housekeeping” and “Do Not Disturb”, and if someone is present in the room, the numbers glow red, if absent, then blue, so that once again none of the maids disturbs, so and it was throughout our stay.
- a complex of 7 swimming pools (including a children's pool with attractions) of a beautiful configuration with artificial mini-islands with live palm trees and flowers, in the evening with a romantic flickering backlight, it looks nice from the balcony, even captivates the eye;
- good big water slides;
- the staff at the reception seemed to us friendly and benevolent, there are also Russian speakers. Without any problems and tips, we were replaced by two rooms we didn’t like, which we had time to pre-examine while the suitcases remained at the reception.
- in the corridors between the rooms there are carpets with cheerful colors and a lot of windows, which means light on the way from the elevator to the room, there is no feeling of deaf closed labyrinths, it's nice that this moment is thought out.
- the restaurant is large, both inside and outside there are a lot of tables, the chefs are trying with food, a wide variety of dishes, and coffee, hot chocolate, cocoa with milk, etc. , while everything is under the complete control of the management! ), but, alas, there is no variety of fruits - there were only 2 types of apples, bananas with black patches, hard pears and oranges, although in a shop next to the hotel (about 7 minutes walk to the right of entrance towards the hotel "Laphetos Beach") fresh large strawberries cost only $ 2 per kg, for the same price you can buy apricots, and medlar and mulberry (mulberry) are already ripe and freely available in the garden opposite the hotel, in the same place in line pomegranates and figs, but still green.
Restaurant opening hours:
breakfast from 7 to 10, late. breakfast from 10 to 11,
lunch from 12-30 to 14-30 (better open from 12-00! ),
dinner from 19 to 21,
a snack by the pool from 11 to 18, on the beach from 12 to 16, ice cream is taken out twice a day for an hour at 16 and 20 and a bunch of bars on the territory.
There are two a la carte restaurants (Turkish and Italian) by appointment from 9-30 to 11 am, but only, as indicated in the hotel concept, if you have arrived for at least a week, but they are not interested in this when making an appointment, in any case, I have never heard of it;
CONS OF THE HOTEL:
- in the evening, poor free Wi-Fi in the lobby - Pts. overloaded, although in the morning and afternoon it is quite normal, but in the rooms and on the territory it is paid ($ 7 for 1 gadget per week);
- when the hotel is positioning the first line, the passage itself to the sea through the underpass under a busy highway (when the balcony is closed, there is good sound insulation, but when the balcony is open, there is quite a lot of noise - there is a lot of traffic along the highway, both day and night, so whoever likes only silence and the singing of birds on vacation, then this is clearly not here)), but the only small plus is that it is very close to the sea at the transition (exactly 2 minutes) and, indeed, there are no other buildings between the hotel itself and the sea. But still across the road! In my opinion, this is the biggest disadvantage;
- on the beach there is clearly not enough wooden flooring to the sea, although the place for it has already been prepared, but probably has not yet been done;
- there are not enough hangers in the locker rooms on the beach;
- in my opinion, the territory is too compact (only 20 thousand sq. m. ) and greenery has not yet grown, although large palm trees, tall cacti, needles, colorful hibiscus, oleanders, etc. are planted around, but they need to grow for several more years, and in general, the landscaping there is done with taste.
- the safe in the room is paid ($ 2 per day), but at the same time it looks very compact, but it is not screwed to the wall. We got along well with our suitcases with locks, there were no problems;
- the hotel saves on hygiene products for guests, too meager set (shampoo, gel, conditioner and ear sticks) + liquid soap near the sink and another shower gel in a tube in the shower room, there are no slippers and bathrobes, as well as other useful small things, alas , although on many sites this hotel is positioned as an elite one - it does not match;
- when checking in, there were too few towels - 2 small, 2 large and a foot mat (beach ones are issued separately in the spa center without a deposit and changing any cards), but, having made a remark about the small number of towels in the room, the senior maid , began to receive 4 large, 4 small and 2 rugs, but then again they tried to return the initial minimum, after a call to the reception, this shortcoming was quickly made up, but it would be better without reminders.
- there is only 1 bottle of water in the refrigerator (when emptying, they put a new one, and the restaurant is full of bottles of water, there are no problems with this);
- there is no kettle with a tea set in the room, although there are a lot of tea and coffee machines around, but for some especially lazy guests, like my husband, sometimes it’s hard to go down));
- when leaving the hotel early, lunch boxes are not issued, citing the fact that the restaurant is open around the clock, but who can have breakfast at 3 or 4 in the morning? )) To this, the manager replied that it was not forbidden to collect food in packages with him, but this was additional trouble, alas, so it was clearly a minus for this.
Well, what else to add, so as not to end the review on the cons of the hotel, because. we really liked it here, and the price-quality ratio is even quite consistent (we took a package at the minimum promo price from the Intourist NTC at the end of April 3 days before departure). The spa center of the hotel is large and beautifully decorated in oriental style, the hamam is free (temperature is from 80 to 120 degrees), next to it is a salt room with spectacular multi-colored lighting and next to it is a menthol room, there is foot peeling with Gara Ruffa fish ($ 10 for 20 min. ), the rest of the numerous procedures, including massage, of course, at a separate price tag. The day before yesterday we visited the a la carte restaurant with Turkish cuisine "Divan", we liked the service and the constant change of dishes for 1.5 hours. Yesterday we sat in the second Italian restaurant a la carte, but we liked it less than the Ottoman one.
All towels, linen, plumbing, refrigerator, TV, etc. are new, of good quality and it's nice, so have a wonderful rest and mood! For us, the pros outweigh the cons for this hotel.
Now the main thing is the beach and the sea.
The beach line itself is quite wide, sandy, but closer to entering the sea there are pebbles (this is both a plus and a minus: plus - the water is crystal clear, minus - I, for example, didn’t go there without corals, but some easily ran barefoot, that’s already who are used to it), when entering the water, after 15 steps, the depth is up to the neck, so you can immediately swim - for me this is another plus.
