Впервые в Турции First time in Turkey

We rested together with a guy on August 13-22.2013. We arrived at the hotel around 9 am. No one wanted to check in, as if the rooms had not been cleaned. But when the guy went to their closet behind the reception there he was shown a bunch of free rooms. They asked for $40 for a room with a sea view, but the guy agreed for $20.
Room 3211 was good, tidy, the refrigerator only froze badly and the shower was terrible (drainage was bad), their water is heated by the sun - therefore it is hot only during the day.
The food is good, we went to eat half an hour after the start of the meal (just the people were resolving and the choice is still large). The food is not much different from Russian, only heavily seasoned. For breakfast - cucumbers, tomatoes, cereals with milk, soups, rice, sausages and sausages. For dinner they gave 2 times shawarma, baked fish, meatballs, potatoes, pilaf, rice, salads, cheeses, sausages. In the bar on the beach you can have a bite-hamburgers, salads (cucumbers, tomatoes), cakes (very tasty), pizza. In bars from 10 to 23 - fanta, sprite, cola, beer, crayfish, wine, gin and tonic, juices diluted with water, tea, water. We had enough food, although the choice is not huge. Sometimes it’s true that the cook himself distributed meat and may regret some (it’s normal for girls, but for guys it’s a small portion). But the tourists are greedy, they always took 2-3 plates and then half was thrown away. Fruits were only for lunch, dinner - watermelons, melons, apricots, plums, nectarines, grapes, apples and (everything was quickly snapped up, some were not very sweet, as if underripe). Their soups are very tasty, constantly warmed up, their own baked bread, a lot of insanely delicious sweets.

The staff is very different. The cleaning lady on the 2nd floor of building 3 was Turkish, she did not understand Russian. She did not respond to our sign. for the whole vacation, I never completely cleaned it, only swept and changed the trash every day. I could enter the room without knocking in the morning. I changed the towels myself 2 times, but they are insanely dirty (with blood stains and other things). We took free towels in the hamamma, these are always clean and changed every day. The chef is good, cooked deliciously, went to the dining room and joked with tourists.
The hotel area is not bad, small. The nearby 5 * hotels bought everything. The beach is very close, 3 minutes walk. big. The sea is super. The pool is small, clean. The slide works. Sometimes there are camels on the beach. There is a pier on the beach of a neighboring hotel
Animation is students from other countries. In the morning, exercises at sea, in the afternoon, beach volleyball and water polo, darts. In the evening, for children, such as dancing, for adults, Mr. and Miss Kizilot, a lottery and the like. It’s scarce, but we came to relax, not to play. At 11 pm until 3 we went to a disco every day. Drive 10 minutes, cool open-air club, foam party at the end, few people, almost all English music is cool, 2-3 songs were Turkish. There is an opportunity to play table tennis, but the big one does not work. There is a hookah.
From the annex tour, we took excursions-pamukkale, sealaniya park, quad safari. everyone is very cool, they didn’t regret it (although it’s a little expensive, everything for two was about 15 thousand). Our guide Aslan is constantly at the hotel (until 7-8 pm), you can ask, he will always help. We went to the market in Alanya ourselves, he told us helped (travel $ 5, drive about 1 hour).
In general, anex-tour is a good operator, a 3 * hotel is good. For those who want to save money and swim in the sea (rather than sit in a room), this is an excellent choice.
