We went to this hotel at the end of June 2010. We had a good rest only due to our own invention and enthusiasm. Now everything is in order: we flew well, settled on time in a "beautiful room" as in the photo with a view of the sea and mountains on this, all the positive moments of the first two days ended. The hotel is positioned as a family for a relaxing holiday. in fact it turns out quite differently. There is no bed for a child in any room, there is an extra bed - a folding bed, and right in front of the air conditioner (probably in order not to delay getting sick and not paying attention to other disadvantages for the whole vacation) The air conditioner is not regulated, but with an open door it is impossible to sleep because a spotlight from a neighboring disco shines in a quiet family hotel until the morning and the music yells so much that it is very difficult to fall asleep with the door closed.
Now a separate conversation about nutrition: the food is the same every day, and to such an extent spicy and peppery that you become like a fire-breathing dragon. My 7-year-old child ate only tomatoes and cucumbers for the first 3 days, although he is not picky about food. Why the first 3 days, you ask, by about this time, more than half of the Russian vacationers moved out and the hotel was filled with Czechs, Slovaks and Turks. They began to feed better, they gave portioned meat, chicken, fish (before that there was only vegetable stew with rare small pieces). True, the fish was fried in batter, along with fins, bones and uncleaned entrails.
I pay special attention to baked buns (not cakes and oriental sweets, namely BUNS, personally my child folded a piece of sausage on a bun and there was a nice little WORM under it! ) When this was shown to the administrator, he said "good" and ran away.
The staff at the hotel (waiters, receptionists, maids) DO NOT speak Russian, English or German. at the reception only 1 person spoke German (this is a more common foreign language) and understood the room number the first time, the rest had to write on paper to get the key, and then they repeated the number in Turkish and until you pronounce the key 3 times gave away.
The road to the sea is another story. Instead of the promised 500 m, there will be more than a kilometer. I’ll explain why: you can’t go directly to the sea, there is a five-star hotel with a wonderful underground passage on the way, but they DO NOT let you go there! You have to make a detour, dear. about which it is casually written, a high-speed coastal highway with three lanes in one direction and 3 in the other, there were accidents every day (if you don’t believe it, look at the map in Google Alanya, Kestel village) You have to focus on the service. The service is an old rusty rambler with a barely breathing gearbox (there are also photos of the hotel on Google, it looks like a minibus), so there are so many people in this service that you can sit on each other’s heads or stack in stacks, the children were sitting on the floor. The minibus runs once an hour according to the schedule from 13 to 15 does not run at all. There are not enough sunbeds on the beach for everyone, the sand burns your feet very hot, you just can’t lie on a towel.
What we liked: the pools with water slides are just super, the hotel grounds are well-groomed - there is a wonderful gardener, like a kind wizard from an oriental fairy tale, he fed us apricots and pears from the garden, showed us how pomegranates grow. A wonderful bartender in the snack bar gives a wonderful drink - ayran (who does not know salty kefir) perfectly quenches thirst in the heat. The animation is normal, there are many competitions, games, competitions, but mostly for adults, for children only a disco.
Loved the hammam and massage.
You can not tip the maids, because of this the service DOES NOT CHANGE (as they didn’t do anything, they don’t do anything! )
I described my impressions of the hotel, decide for yourself, but we will not go there again.
