From the minuses, as they wrote, the poor sound insulation of the walls, but for us it was not significant. There is also paid internet - $11.
Animation is a separate love: my 14-year-old daughter wants to go there again just because of them) you guys! In general, the impressions are excellent! I recommend it, we will come again.
Drinks like in Turkey, juices from Jupi, but freshly squeezed for a fee, wine, when from a bottle, very much nothing, good table wines, but as soon as from a barrel, they give it away with vinegar. Animation is just class, do not let children or adults get bored. Large adult pool, pool with children's slide and adult slides. Beach sand with pebbles, sea-pebbles, sand, slabs. You can find a quiet entrance. Near the pier (neighboring hotel). during the big waves you can swim there, it is completely safe. There is a bar on the beach, also with drinks, poultry, burgers and french fries, so you won’t die of hunger ??? ? .
The room is good (standard), both the mountains and the sea are visible from the room, but unfortunately ours overlooked the neighboring hotel and the noise of the pumps was somewhat annoying. I would have changed, but my husband did not want to, the view was very captivating ...cleaning daily, towels changed on request, at least every day. Very satisfied with the rest, once again many thanks to everyone.
Everything is clean, well maintained, rooms are cleaned every other day (theft
They didn’t notice, they left both their iPhones and wallet, everything is fine. We paid an extra $10 for the room.
For food: Huge selection of everything, everything tasty and fresh. There was little fruit - apples, oranges, mashmula. National food is prepared on site at certain hours - flatbreads and pizza, burgers, fries
From 16:00 to 17:00 ice cream at the beach bar.
You can always drink coffee, tea, ayran at a bar or on the beach. Coffee in Turkish is paid. In the canteen you can buy delicious freshly squeezed orange juice for 7 liras. Of the alcohol that we tried (beer and wine), everything was like in Turkey. Gin, crayfish, vodka. Whiskey is also colored vodka.
Wi-Fi is $11 for the entire stay, for 1 phone. It won't be possible to distribute. If someone from the family joins, the other one is immediately thrown out. But we were relaxing, not sitting on the phone.
Beach towels are provided and changed 2 times a week.
As a minus, I can note the audibility in the room. When the neighbors came into the toilet and talked, it felt like they were with us, the walls in the bathrooms were so thin. But this problem can be easily resolved during negotiations, since almost all vacationers are Belarusians or Russians. There are very few Germans and Turks. There were vacationers from the Baltic states and the Netherlands.
Within a 20-minute walk there is the MEGAMOLL shopping center, there are many different stores, including Migros.
I advise you to go to Polo ASSN, you will be pleasantly surprised by the prices and competent consultants Alex and Tatyana.
We read about excursions in forums and other social networks. networks and came across the agency "Tours at Alik's". He is on VKontakte. Reservations can be made online. Payment on the spot. Very cool. We booked a Dolphinarium, a Yacht Tour and a Water Park. We advise everyone to book online through the agency "Tours with Alik". You will not regret! By the way, you can order a transfer to the Airport from Alik. Overall, we were very pleased, especially since we have something to compare with - we always stayed in fours. I liked it in Konakli. We wish everyone a good holiday. Thanks to Alik for the transfer and excursions.
The hotel is medium in size, the territory is compact, but well planned, neat and comfortable. There are no crowds of people, although the hotel was full to capacity... long queues and problems with free tables were once in the dining room on a Turkish night when everyone came at the same time to the opening... otherwise everything is ok. The room is quite spacious, furniture and su in good condition, ind. air conditioning, LCD TV, refrigerator, safe (fee $ 2 / day). The su has poor ventilation and simply catastrophic soundproofing - it feels like the neighbors went into your bathroom... although the soundproofing of the room itself is normal... in general, there is such a minus of the room... Cleaned well.
The staff is very friendly, many understand and speak Russian, the hotel mainly Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Czech Republic. . .
The food is very tasty, quite varied, considering the level of the hotel, especially lunch and dinner. . . breakfast is not so good, but you can still choose something, it seems they think that breakfast should be light. . . well, pizza snacks during the day on the beach, gosleme, ice cream. . . you won't go hungry. . .
I won’t say about the animation - I haven’t watched it much - they entertain mainly near the pool (and we went to the beach... ), at 4 o’clock on the zumba beach and they also offer to play volleyball on the beach... In the evening a small show - contests. . . well. . .
Beach - sun loungers - there are mattresses, there was enough for everyone, common awnings are also normal, they protect from the sun... The entrance to the sea is normal - very small pebbles with sand (it's strange that in the previous review they wrote that it was not comfortable to go in). But probably 10 meters from the shore in different places under the water there are stones (not very deep yet), some are sharp, you can easily get hurt or hit... especially considering that the sea is mostly stormy and the water is not clear, these stones are not visible . . people mostly swim on the right side of the entrance, there seem to be fewer stones... Another minus of the beach is "sand", although it's more like some kind of dust - it sticks to the feet and gets dirty, incl. soils mattresses and deck chairs, when people pass by and do not raise their legs (and many walk like that), this dust rises and flies everywhere... A blue flag hangs by the beach, but the water, although clean, is not transparent due to constant excitement and probably because of this "sand"...
The main disadvantage of the hotel for me is complete freedom for "smokers". It is forbidden to smoke only in the rooms, but on the balconies, near the pool, on the beach - it is possible that people do it actively... it is unrealistic to hide, someone is sure to be nearby with a cigarette... It is strange that the hotel did not at least make it on the beach and there is a separate smoking area by the pool. . . everyone would be comfortable. . .
It is worth paying tribute, upon arrival at the hotel everything was organized, after filling out the forms, we were immediately settled in the room. (Even in the most popular hotels there are problems with check-in time).
The room is not small, there is where to turn around. Cleaning every day, bed linen changed every two days.
On account of food. Everything is wonderful! Chefs, waiters, bartenders, all well done. Empty plates appeared on the table, the waiter came to take away. Tables are cleared and sanitized behind you. After the meal is over, the restaurant is cleaned and disinfected. It can be seen that the management carefully monitors the performance of work. And it is not unimportant that the hotel listens to the wishes of the guests.
Animation. We really didn't expect it. Cool, funny guys! Thanks to the active program, there was no need to be bored at all. I quote: "This is not a vacation - this is an army! ".
The territory of the hotel is small, but compact and well-groomed. But you will definitely get tired by the time you get from the amphitheater to the bar.
Swimming in the warm but choppy sea. Entering the water is not convenient, especially for older people. It would be nice if there was a pier with a descent nearby. This is the only downside.
We are very pleased with the rest, we promised that we would return soon. We wish prosperity Caretta beach hotel!
2. Check-in took place within 10 minutes, the room was clean, without any questions. This hotel was chosen because of the first coastline. The beach near the sea is pebbly, as you go further into the sea there are sharp drops and you can injure your legs, and under a canopy where there are sun loungers there is sand. We were scared about the pebbles, but there were no problems with the pebbles.
3. The advantage of the room is a well-functioning air conditioner and wi-fi. The rooms were cleaned every day and the sheets changed, if I'm not mistaken, every day. Very comfortable balcony, you could constantly dry clothes. The audibility of the neighbors is in the bathroom, most likely due to ventilation, and if you close the door, it was quite quiet. There was a large gap at the bottom of the front door, but we covered it with a rag so that passers-by in the corridor could be heard less, but it didn’t cause much discomfort. I heard how they calmly changed the numbers of newly arrived vacationers at their request. There were vacationers who come to this hotel for the fifth time on vacation and this means something.
4. Food for a 4-star hotel is just space, my eyes ran wide, everything was very tasty! The point on the beach is generally a highlight, there was a bar and a snack bar in which you could eat quietly and not go to the hotel restaurant. In the morning, pizza, french fries, burgers, salads and much more were cooked on the beach all day long, the bar was open from 10:00 to 18:00 and ice cream was brought every day from 17:00 to 18:00. We missed lunch a couple of times and it's okay, we ate well on the beach. Although it was forbidden to take food from the restaurant to the room, but we and others took food to the room, the service staff never made a remark. The staff is very nice, friendly and probably 80% speaks good Russian, very comfortable. From the staff we are delighted with the family. The entertainment program began at 10:00 and ended late at night, in the evenings in the open amphitheater every day there was a show, an entertainment program for vacationers. For children and adults disco and competitions.
5. I can probably note one minus this beer, it seemed to me that it was non-alcoholic or maybe it doesn’t take it in such heat, the beer tastes normal. The wine was not very good, for a fee, the wife took cocktails. Better to take with you.
There are many more good and positive moments to describe, but you will come and see for yourself.
I recommend this hotel!
Tour DBL1CHLD, AI.
Standard room 7/8 days cost only $800.
Assessing the price / quality - we really liked it! Would come back here again!
The hotel is compact, located on the 1st line, there is a water park for kids and adults, a swimming pool, warm sea and delicious food.
Now I'll tell you more...
Settlement:
The road from the airport took about 2 hours, we arrived at 11 am and we were immediately settled. I was pleasantly surprised that my request to the guest manager about settling us next to friends was taken into account and when settling we were given two adjacent rooms on the 4th floor. The bracelets were put on right away.
Number:
Room 443 overlooking the entrance to the hotel and side sea view.
The room is not big but tidy. Everything is brand new, everything works fine. Safe is paid - $ 2 / day.
Beds/towels are white.
The bathroom has a hairdryer and telephone : ) TV with international channels. But the audibility in the rooms is just horror!
You can hear all the conversations of the neighbors, it seems that we have one toilet for 2 rooms. You can even hear how a person brushes his teeth, well, everything else too ...they came to the conclusion that we have a common space above the suspended ceiling in the toilet, which is why such audibility. My neighbors and I almost became related; ).
In the room itself through the wall is not so audible. This is the only significant minus of this hotel! But nothing can be changed here...
Territory:
There are 2 swimming pools with slides - for children (35 cm) and for adults. Bar by the pool. There is also a bar on the beach. There is an amphitheater for animation. Mini club with swings for children. Our baby is already an adult - we didn’t go there, I won’t leave a review. Everything is compact, you won't have to go far!
Wi-fi on the territory of the hotel paid $ 10 / person. Catches well. And it is more profitable than buying an operator card.
Beach:
The beach strip is wide, sand and pebble. At the entrance to the sea, pebbles are a little uncomfortable without specials. shoes.
There are covers from the sun, a lot of sunbeds - plastic with mattresses - in good condition.
Beach towels are now issued - 1 towel for the entire stay. If you want to change - 1€. Sunbeds bring extra, if you ask, the trash cans are cleaned, everything is ok!
Nearby there is a rental - a scooter, a banana, a bun, a parachute. For a scooter bargained $40/15 min.
Nutrition:
Food is served in the restaurant, all waiters are wearing masks and gloves. The instruments are individually packaged.
Cooking delicious! The choice may not be very large, but you will not go hungry! For breakfast, cheeses, sausages, scrambled eggs, pancakes, yogurt, cereals, fruits, vegetables. My husband did not have enough toaster, he was used to eating croutons.
For lunch, there are usually 2 types of soup, meat or grilled chicken, stewed vegetables, meat, fish, salads, rice, spaghetti, potatoes, pies, fruits (apples, oranges, watermelons, grapefruits).
For dinner, the same as for lunch, a little more choice. Often the meat is on a spit, grilled. There were a lot of goodies from meat on the Turkish night.
From drinks in the restaurant wine and beer, juices, cola, tea, coffee.
Coffee is bad! They also have trouble with soft drinks - yuppies are highly concentrated.
Alcohol in bars is quite normal. We took beer, gin and tonic and martinis with tonic.
At the bar on the beach, from 11 they start preparing snacks - pizza, tortillas, burgers, french fries, nuggets, or meat on a spit. From 16-17 they give ice cream-delicious!
We liked the food at the hotel!
Animation:
A team of 3 animators - generalists - and dances, and walk on the glass, and swallow the fire, and play with the children.
Animation is not intrusive - at will - dancing, polo, volleyball, darts, aqua aerobics, evening program. Miss and Mr. hotel contests are exactly the same as in Egypt 3 months ago. No creativity - pioneered somewhere in youtube, probably! The fire show is apparently done by the animators themselves in order to save money. It was a Turkish night, a dance group was invited. In general, the animation is so-so, but you can pass the time.
Service:
Smart staff! Everything is cleaned up! The waiters are attentive, all wearing masks. Tables are cleared quickly. At the distribution, they also pour even more than you ask. The room was cleaned well. In general, they try! Everyone is friendly and hardworking!
Entertainment outside the hotel:
On Wednesdays, the crossing bazaar arrives. It is not far from the hotel. There you can buy fruits, sweets, and textiles at a normal price. But no one told us about him, we missed the arrival of the bazaar.
A 20-minute walk, to the left of the hotel along the highway, there are 2 shopping centers Neva outlet and Konakli time center - there are a lot of shops with things - Waikiki, defacto, colins, watsons, a grocery store ...It's better to pay with a card - it's much more profitable at the rate.
Near shopping centers there is a fortress Caravanserai Sharapsa Khan built in 1246. Seen from afar, they say abandoned.
There are also shopping arcades near the hotel - there are souvenirs, and slippers / flip flops. They strain me, everyone shouts come in! I prefer shopping malls.
There is a bus stop in front of the hotel. On the 50 minibus for $ 1 / 4 lira you can get to Alanya. We went to Lokus fish restaurant. Located on Cleopatra Beach - delicious and the views are just awesome.
I think I've said it all, I hope it was helpful!
Also many thanks to the kitchen staff and the woman who baked the cakes - well, just very tasty. Grilled vegetables, meat and fish were incomparable, but in general everything was delicious. I don’t remember that we didn’t eat something))) About sweets is a separate issue in general, in a word - pleasure... We all returned 5 kg more. Alcohol is normal, they poured it from the heart))))) I can’t say anything about the audibility - we left the room at 7 in the morning and returned after 11, so we didn’t experience any inconvenience.
We were worried about entering the sea, but it turned out to be normal, right next to the shore - a depression in which children and adults hang out, but if you have a desire to splash like a fish, dive like a dolphin, swim to the buoy like Phelps, etc. , then - buy slippers, because it gets shallower and the slabs begin - I cracked my finger, there was a lot of blood and the rest of the day I had to spend the rest of the day in the room under the TV, nothing like this happened to my friends, but they are not big fans of swimming. But they really liked the slides in the pool, from which it was difficult to pick them up. The waves in the sea were very strong, once I got under 4 waves in a row, I almost suffocated, it was a cool feeling, but better watch out. There are no waves on the very shore - there are where the plates are.
In general, I did not want to leave the hotel at all. Next year we plan to come to Caretta for 20+ days))))
