In many respects I agree with Maxim and Ira. My wife and I made friends with the guys during our stay at the hotel. The hotel is weak in every respect. Of the positives. . . I was pleasantly surprised by the hammam with a real massage (you can believe me as a health worker), Russian-language animation after 21.00 (maybe we were just lucky). The unobtrusive service even began to please with time, because there was no control by the hotel staff over the removal of food from the dining room (which saved during excursions), mattresses on the beach (vacationers could take them for free), towels from the room (which many take it with you to the beach and to the pool). The advantages of the hotel include a wide beach compared to even neighboring 5-star hotels and a fairly large territory (there was enough space for everyone). Of the active beach games, only volleyball was present. If you start to get bored in the hotel, go on excursions. It's cheaper to order them from the agency across the street. But so that the excursion does not turn into "hard labor" for you, it is better not to book excursions with long journeys in transport. Otherwise, you will either get fried in an air-conditioned bus, or your tour will turn into a continuous shopping trip along the way. I recommend a yacht trip to Alanya. On the eve of departure from the hotel, do not forget to buy gifts for family and friends, if you did not have time to do it in Alanya during the yacht tour. In mini-markets across the road, everything is much cheaper than guides will offer you during excursions. My wife and I enjoyed our holiday. But if you want impeccable service, then look for another hotel.
