Impressions from the rest in this hotel are good!
There are some shortcomings, but on the general background they were not noticeable to us. We went with a friend, we are 22 years old. We were bored at the hotel, because there were not so many young people in the hotels, most families with children.
As for the food: there is a main restaurant, it is in the building and smoothly goes out into the street, it looks like a large dining room, but you can always find places. food is enough, it is varied. the dishes are cleaned on time, cleaned, washed, the floors are rubbed to a shine, even slippery to walk. tablecloths are constantly changed, but traces of unwashed juices look untidy on them. juices included are not real, soluble, poisonous flowers, there was one cherry one that was not bad, it tasted like cherry juice. Gas water - sprite, fanta, cola some strange, as if with water, but you can drink. The beer is not bad, light, somewhere around 2 degrees, drinking in the heat is just right!

In a restaurant where the chef prepares meat - queues.
There is a sufficient amount of meat, enough for everyone, but there is a queue to take the meat immediately from the fire, only cooked. Meat: turkey, lamb, chicken, meatballs...a lot of things and delicious!
There is free ice cream near the pool, it is different there, we ate chocolate, we liked it, delicious!
Snacks are prepared at the pool bar, in fact, you can always have something to eat. Lots of watermelon, melon, cherry. Pizza is prepared by the pool, it is not very good, but you can eat it. I also really liked Turkish flatbread. There are also a lot of sweets in the hotel, the desserts are delicious, beautiful.

There are 3 more ala-carte restaurants for free, but you need to sign up in advance - there were no problems with this, but only 2 work: sea and Turkish cuisine. I liked both there and there.
The room was good, although it was small, it had a plasma TV and 2 Russian channels, although we did not find a single musical channel.
The furniture is new, good, individual air conditioning, which worked great, bathroom: bath with shower - clean, not rusty, sink, hair dryer, they always brought us new shower gel, soap, hair conditioner. Towels were also changed, I don’t know how often, we didn’t have time to think about it, but the towels were always clean. The cleaning lady is a very nice woman in her years. She was already cleaning well, but after we left her a few times a dollar tip, she did everything even better, every time she made swans on our bed from sheets and towels, such beauty and very nice!

The view from the balcony was of the mountains and the sea. We just got one, we didn't pay extra. We lived on the last 6th floor, our balcony was fenced off from the neighbors on the left and right, and there was no roof on top of the balcony, there was a blue sky overhead, swallows flew, and stars at night. The beauty! And they went undressed to the balcony, because no one sees, the neighboring hotel is very far away.

In general beauty and comfort! True, it is stuffy in the elevators and it stops on each floor and it takes a long time to go to the 6th floor, but for the sake of this view from the balcony you can endure, the elevator did not bother us.

Vacationers are 45% Russians, 45% Turks, and 10% are Ukrainians, Poles, Germans.
There are few animators, 6 people. They speak both Russian and English. The animators were 3 Russian girls and 3 Turks. And day and evening they entertain guests, they try. And water polo and darts and aerobics and water aerobics and competitions in the pool ...a lot of things, but the evening show program leaves much to be desired, the animators themselves admit that they have been working as animators recently, inexperienced, and the show is weak from this. But it will. For 2 weeks, a Turkish dance group came to the hotel 2 times, there was a show "Turkish Night", where they showed their national dances, an interesting, colorful show. Before the show, by the way, a children's disco is held every day, in the same place in the amphitheater.
As for the disco for adults, it runs somewhere from 00:00 - 03:00, I don’t remember exactly, because we didn’t go to it. The music is terrible! Boom-boom-boom - and this is all the music, none of the vacationers liked it, so almost no one went to the disco, sometimes the hall was generally empty, but for free))) We went to the disco at the Summer Garden club - it's 20 minutes to by bus in the direction of Alanya, tour agents pick up groups in it, bring them there, they monitor the safety of tourists and take everyone back to the hotel at 03:00. All discos and Summer Garden and in Alanya until 03:00. Tour agents charge $10 or $15 for this transfer. But it's worth it. If you go by taxi yourself, the money will also come out, but the tour agents will look after you.

Sunbeds by the pool should be borrowed in the morning, because there are a lot of vacationers and if there is no place near the pool, you will have to go to the sea, there are always free sunbeds there.

The sea is beautiful, clean, even people do not shake it when they swim, the water is always clean, the beach is large, there are no crowds, spacious, good. however, the beach is sandy and pebbly, you need to take flip flops with you.
Towels and all kinds of sunbeds - all for free, which is very nice!
On the sea near the bar there is a shower, near the pool there is also a shower and another toilet. Go to the sea through the underpass, it takes a minute or two, quickly and not annoying.

There are actually 3 bars, near the pool, near the sea and near the reception. The rest of the bars are mythical. For example, there are tables, fenced, there is also a machine with coffee and it says Irish Cafe, you pour yourself coffee from the machine and drink it.
These active 3 bars are enough. Bartenders prepare cocktails both alcoholic and non-alcoholic - delicious!
All the staff are friendly although some only speak Turkish.

All in all, we really enjoyed our stay!
