If you walk towards the wild beach, then there is a very atmospheric place ...If anyone likes to snorkel, then that's it. The service at the hotel is so professional that you really want to give a dollar, another, just as a token of gratitude, and not because you are actively hinted at all the time ....No familiarity, like hello, how are you. What are you doing tonight. etc. , while the staff is very welcoming and friendly. Waiters in white gloves, everything is very dignified and unobtrusive. Personally, I saw such service in hotels of a higher class, so I was pleasantly surprised. Alcohol is normal, clean - they open it in front of you. Vodka, gin. crayfish, wine, beer....Drink as much as you want, at least get drunk....The entertainment program is standard: fire show, Turkish folklore, We asked for a disco in the style of the 80s, / we had a flash drive with us / they went to meeting and everyone lit under Boni M..
The audience in the hotels are mostly Russians and a few Europeans, Germans, Czechs, etc. Tagil rules - no. I didn't have it. One of the few hotels where you want to return. Shall we go again? Most likely yes!
Staff - all very attentive, friendly, always listening and helping.
The restaurant was always greeted as dear guests))) Food at a high level, very tasty and varied.
I would especially like to mention Eugene - Guest Relation approached the guests every day and asked if everything was fine, if there were any wishes and how the magician fulfilled them. We had a situation with buoys, or rather with their absence))) We used to swim to buoys, but there are no buoys. Met Eugene and made remarks and literally 2 days later did everything)
The animation team is a bomb.
There were only three of them, but they were always, constantly and everywhere. Morning exercise, darts, table tennis, aqua aerobics (Anila even did aqua aerobics for men !!! ), beach volleyball, water polo, pool competitions, zumba, children's disco and evening program for adults. Nadia, Gigan and Anil - you are super good and unrealistically cool))).
Beach - fireplaces, no sandy entrance to the sea. Entrance to the sea from the pontoon. The sandy beach is nearby - 200 m to the right and 400 m to the left of the hotel beach.
Thank you all for a great mood and rest! ! ! ! !
The animation in the hotel for adults is excellent, there are some activities and entertainment all day long. As soon as one ends, another begins. Every day - volleyball, morning exercises, aqua aerobics, water polo. In addition, there are fun games of darts, beer pong, etc.
The buffet in the restaurant is varied, you will always find something to eat, although some dishes are very similar to each other. The restaurant is located on the second floor of the building, there are places on the open veranda (of which the majority) where there is a beautiful view of the sea (50 meters), in the evenings it is especially beautiful to watch the sunsets so that fans are installed on the veranda so that it is not hot.
By the way, from the buffet, to our surprise, it turned out that you can take out food, and no one will say anything. Even though it says it's forbidden. In principle, nothing really needs to be taken out of food, the only thing we took out was fruit and sweets to the animation zone in the evening when the restaurant was closed.
The alcohol bar is included in the price of the stay - hence everything is free. Two bars - one in the main restaurant and is open during meals, the other next to the pool, open from 10 to 00. A large selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic products. Alcoholic: beer: tuborg and carlsberg (2 taps to choose from), some write that beer is weak, but in my opinion, light beer in the heat is not to get drunk, but to enjoy. From alcohol further - Vodka, Rak (Turkish vodka), Malibu (local), Gin, Baileys (local), white wine, red. Also on the bar - cold black tea fuzetea, fanta, coca-cola, sprite, tonic, ice.
Next to the pool there is a snack bar open from 11 am to 5 pm, where there is a mini buffet, where all the dishes are prepared here, very tasty, there is also a machine with juices, water, and a coffee machine. Nearby are two refrigerators - one with cold bottled water, the second - with ayran (a sour-milk drink similar to tan).
From 16:15 to 17:00 next to the snack bar mono taste ice cream (free of charge), different to choose from, I tried it a couple of times, it seems not bad, it differs from ours in that it is very viscous. It melts quickly on the arena.
From 17:15 to 18:00 at the snack bar they prepare Viennese waffles with fruit filling, very tasty, take as much as you want.
Sea. Access to the sea, as in principle on the entire coast of the village of Konakli, is a rocky base, someone calls it a concrete-sand slab, but it is hardly possible to make slabs of such dimensions.
The hotel took care of its guests and made a cut in the rock for a more successful entry into the sea, but still it is not very convenient to go down there. Nearby is a pier from which you can go down the stairs or jump off (height from 1 meter). The sea is clean, transparent to the bottom. Sometimes it is possible to have a small amount of extraneous fine suspensions.
There are sun loungers on the pantone, on the beach and by the pool. Those who want to lie by the pool wake up earlier and take the sunbeds with towels. Mostly foreigners rest by the pool - the Russian-speaking population is on the sea.
In the hotel building there is a hammam, massage, a shop with goods for vacationers. The hotel itself is located in relative proximity (unlike other, more distant hotels) from the center of Konakli, on foot 40 minutes. We went once to the Time Center shopping center where boutiques are located. A 5-minute walk from the hotel a lot of shops, cafes and entertainment.
The hotel itself is located close to the sea well nowhere closer, the location is very good.
We flew to Antalya and traveled from the airport for 3 hours (we were the last hotel), back through Alanya, which made us very happy, 40 minutes to the airport. So if you have a choice, fly through Alanya.
In general, I really liked the rest, the advice is to learn a few phrases in Turkish and you will see how all the staff will change their faces. Basic phrases such as - hello, good afternoon / morning / evening, bye thanks. But we learned much more than surprised the locals.
Of the shortcomings, read the comments of other tourists. Of our shortcomings, it's up to you to decide whether or not - paying $ 5 for a view for a room with the sea. we had 4 eta in the very center of the hotel, on the sunny side, the view is amazing, but at the same time, the noise of the sea at night can disturb someone, although this is easily solved by turning on the air conditioner at night and closing the door on the balcony. And the second flaw that surprised us was the fee for the safe.
1 or 2 $ per night, since we took a room with a sea view and a safe, it turned out to be $ 96, we were given a small discount of $ 6.
The room is clean, tidy, the furniture is pleasant, maybe not the newest, but neat and clean. The room was cleaned well, there is a hairdryer, refrigerator, air conditioning, LCD TV - Russian channels - channel 1, TNT, NTV. There is also a Ukrainian music channel where good music plays, including Russian-language. Channels in all languages English, Turkish, Ukrainian, German, Polish, etc.
The peculiarities include the lack of an iron - ironing is paid, as well as washing things.
In the event of a malfunction in the room (the refrigerator did not work upon check-in, it was discovered on the second day), the malfunction was quickly eliminated. Everything is very fast and neat. Nobody asks for any tips, friendly staff.
We went to the hotel according to our budget and according to the reviews of other people, in this price segment, according to reviews, there were no equals.
Thanks to other vacationers for the reviews, which helped us, among other things, to choose a great hotel.
Good luck everyone, have a good rest!
