Rested at the beginning of June. I flew to meet my daughter, who lived in a hotel nearby, also a four and had something to compare.
With the settlement, despite the early arrival, there were no problems, for which many thanks to the reception. Two-room suite, although the furniture is old, reminded me of Soviet times. Someone from cleaning washed the floors so that the water stood on the floor in the room for another hour, as if there was a flood. For some reason, they are not cleaned in the morning, but in the afternoon, when people usually rest. Since there are no signs - do not disturb, the cleaners will find out that you are in the room by opening the door. The food is delicious, a lot of greens, only apples and pears were fruits, although the daughter at the hotel was given cherries, strawberries, and watermelons. On the last day of my vacation, I also saw a watermelon on the tables of vacationers, it was no longer on the counter - they ate it. I noticed that it’s better to come at the beginning of dinner, then you won’t see empty trays of sweets and untidy leftover food.
Breakfast is not sophisticated, monotonous: eggs, scrambled eggs (more like corn porridge), oatmeal cereal, waffles. three varieties of cheese and the same amount of sausages (I didn’t eat, I can’t say anything), olives and all sorts of mini-jars, which I also didn’t try. And so every day. The territory is small, I lived in building "C", adjacent to the construction site. For water for the kettle went to the main building across the road. It was strange. There is a kettle, but there is no drinking water in the building. Yes, the kettle was leaking. A fungus lives in the shower near the drain and it is not surprising that the water does not go down the drain well. The toilet is constantly dripping water. Therefore, only a three, no four.

Sometimes good hotels are scolded and bad ones are praised. And there is no contradiction here. It is also important how much you paid for your vacation. So, for this hotel we paid not very cheaply, as for a good full-fledged four (we believed the reviews and the travel agent), but we did not receive the services and the expected comfort for this money.

There is no territory - a small pool and that's it! The hotel is sandwiched between the same as he is. But we were ready for this. And the fact that you need to cross the road from the second building to the bar or dining room came as a surprise.
The food is the simplest, like in a factory canteen.
The reception area and dining room are absolutely miserable. Heat, no air conditioning, cats.
Drinks - beer is actually non-alcoholic, strong drinks are generally sad, Cola is only mixed with ice, coffee is only from a coffee machine (no real Turkish), juices are only yuppies from the machine.
The rooms are small but we only slept there.
Beach, as in the description, 250-300 meters from the hotel. There were enough places and umbrellas for everyone. The beach is closed in the evening.
The reception staff speaks good Russian, they did not extort money during the settlement. Staff more/less. The guys are smiling, smart, a little untidy. The barmaid in Russian no boom-boom, emphatically slow, pours beer and makes it clear what an incredible favor she is doing you.
In general, the hotel is somehow "unfinished".

On Turpravda only the truth. Didn't like the hotel. Starting from the reception, where you have to wait until the room is issued and prepared, you ask yourself the question "where did I go? ". Stuffy, not cleaned, worn-out furniture. The elevator works properly and shows not only the floor, but also the temperature.

On Turpravda only the truth.
Didn't like the hotel. Starting from the reception, where you have to wait until the room is issued and prepared, you ask yourself the question "where did I go? ". Stuffy, not cleaned, worn-out furniture.
The elevator works properly and shows not only the floor, but also the temperature. +33.
The rooms are complete minimalism. There is nowhere to turn. Cleaning is symbolic. But for a dollar they will wind swans. Under the bed is a layer of dust with a finger. Probably, as they put the beds, they didn’t look there. The lighting in the bathroom is extremely poor. Although it would be more accurate to say "bathroom".
There is no territory. The pool is more like a large bathroom, where there is one person per square meter. There are ten sun loungers for the whole hotel, and these are two buildings.
Animation and entertainment is not in principle.
There is only one bar and it is located in the restaurant, which limits access to it when, for example, the floor is being washed in the restaurant. When asked to brew real Turkish coffee or make fresh, even for money, you get a negative answer. There is a coffee machine and a yuppie machine.
Meals - student canteen. Heat. Virtually no choice of food. And the dishes are not restaurant-like at all. But the chef walks around the hall during the meal, collects dirty dishes and delivers drinks, which makes the guests absolutely delighted. Of the sea for the whole week, only once was fried fish. But it was not salted, not seasoned with spices, that is, it was simply spoiled. Maybe the chef is primarily a dish cleaner, and a part-time cook?
The beach is big. Coarse sand mixed with cigarette butts and other traces of vacationers. The first row of sunbeds cannot be occupied. We unknowingly occupied, we were asked to leave. Well, if so, then at least put up signs. By the way, this row is always empty. Nobody wants to pay local businessmen. The water is warm and clean. Simply fabulous! Immediately at the entrance to the water, overgrown and therefore slippery roofing felts are stones, roofing felts of slabs. If you know about them in advance, then there will be no problems with them. 10-15 minutes to the beach. There is a busy road between the hotel and the beach. Caution, local drivers on the zebra do not let pedestrians through.
In general, I liked the city. It has a place to shop. There is a beautiful fortress. Delicious ice cream. In the evening, you can eat delicious and relatively inexpensive seafood in local restaurants. I liked the trip on the pirate yacht. If we hadn't missed the choice of the hotel, we could say that the rest was a complete success.

I have visited a lot of places before, I didn’t always write reviews, but it’s impossible not to write about Kandelore. After reading positive reviews, we planned a vacation in Candelore with a big company. In addition to me, 6 more families went to this hotel (15 people in total). These are my friends and we decided to celebrate a birthday in Alanya.

I have visited a lot of places before, I didn’t always write reviews, but it’s impossible not to write about Kandelore.
After reading positive reviews, we planned a vacation in Candelore with a big company. In addition to me, 6 more families went to this hotel (15 people in total). These are my friends and we decided to celebrate a birthday in Alanya. But...
ACCOMMODATION. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were informed that our rooms were occupied. Despite our indignation, some were sent to another hotel for a day, and one family was settled for a day in some kind of dirty building, where even the room was not cleaned (for example, someone left their dirty underpants in the closet). It was promised the next day at 12-00 we will be picked up from a temporary hotel and placed very well. Forgot to pick up. I had to send a messenger to Candelore and only after that did the transfer arrive. So, instead of swimming in the sea, we were busy moving from the makeshift hotel back to Candelore. But even now everything was not decided quickly.
There was a problem with available rooms. In solving this situation, the guide of the Anex tour helped us, and after several hours of swearing (sometimes very loud), we were settled. In connection with this problem, I contacted my travel agent, and he contacted Anex-tour directly. He texted me via viber that the hotel replied to Anex tour, that all our problems were successfully resolved and my family was provided with an improved room and a free safe. It was a lie. The room is ordinary at the end of the corridor of the top floor. They charged $12 for the safe for 6 nights. The safe that I paid for was broken and I had to run around until it was fixed. Tellingly, they asked me for a statement of no claims, which I did not write. By the way, other people I didn’t know who came to Candelore that day also suffered from the fraud with the settlement. Therefore, the accommodation is a complete disaster.
THE LOCATION OF THE HOTEL is good. Around a full-fledged urban infrastructure.
To the beach 10 minutes at a leisurely pace.
The HOTEL is small. There is practically no territory. The pool is very small and sometimes crowded. There are not enough sun loungers by the pool for everyone (photo). There is practically no lobby, it is decorated exclusively wretchedly (photo). The lobby turns into a restaurant with a bar. There were always enough tables in the restaurant for everyone, but the room was not air conditioned. The open doors did not save us from stuffiness, because it was 35-37 degrees outside. As long as you drink warm soup, seven sweats will come off. Since the main dishes were located on the same showcase, there were queues. The restaurant and the bar are unsanitary. It is impossible to understand who is the bartender in the hotel, the functions of the bartender are performed by all employees. He just washed the floor, now he pours me a beer. No one washes their hands between these operations. At the same time, apparently, a special chic is to take a glass with dirty hands not by the leg, but by its very upper edge. Drink if you don't mind!
After dinner, the collected dirty dishes are stored on the bar and only then carried away to the sink. As an illustration of dirt - a child seat standing near the trash can and sprinkled with garbage (photo).
The ROOM is small, but with a balcony and furniture not completely killed yet. TV, air conditioning, kettle. Everything worked. The fridge didn't cool much, but it was there. The bathroom is extremely compact, one and a half by one and a half. Plumbing and hair dryer were serviceable. But the things removed before the shower have nowhere to hang - neither a hook nor a carnation. There is simply no place for them. Very closely. One bottle of water was supplied per day. The bed linen was changed once in a week.
NUTRITION. The hotel has a good chef. The range of dishes offered is very meager, but everything is cooked to the conscience and quite edible. The exception is breakfast.
BEACH. The description of the hotel states that sunbeds and umbrellas on the Cleopatra beach area No. 7 are free.
But when I came to the beach with my wife and daughter for the first time and took a free trestle bed, a local approached me and began to demand payment. I asked him to introduce himself and explain why he wants money. Immediately another person came up and already the two of them literally yelled at me. Or took place in broken English. But I clearly recognized the words pay, not free, crazy, get out. These people were clearly overexcited, so I didn't wait for the discussion to get hot and "did get out" somewhere else. One, the older one, called himself Erdogan. After returning to the hotel, I asked at the reception what it was all about. After all, number 7 is free for vacationers. The girl from the reception agreed with my indignation, but explained that they have such realities in all hotels. She promised to report the incident to the manager. It is known that all sorts of crooks revolve around tourists in many countries. At first I could not think that these people were hotel employees.
But what was my surprise when I saw this Erdogan in the evening talking with a hotel employee at the reception. He was clearly his own person there. That is, on the beach I was threatened and extorted money by a hotel employee?!
The next day, the situation repeated itself with other tourists - a young couple. As soon as they took the "paid" place, this Erdogan literally ran up to them (pictured with glasses) with another hotel employee and drove them. At that time, I had a camera in my hands. I am attaching pictures. I have no doubt that this is regularly repeated with other vacationers.
The fact that the other person is a hotel employee is beyond doubt. I regularly saw him at the hotel washing the floor in the restaurant, cleaning dirty dishes, pouring drinks for vacationers.
Although in general most of the staff are normal, although not trained, people.
Something like that. Of course the hotel is not four stars.
Maybe if we changed the manager in it, we would be able to solve some problems and then it would correspond to the official description. But so far this is the worst hotel I have ever been to.

I went to the hotel with a friend, focusing on the positive reviews. I used to love to travel to Turkey, rested in hotels of various levels. Trust me! It's not 4*! Unsanitary conditions, vacationers are forced to drink from dirty glasses and glasses, if you ask to pour it into processed dishes, they are indignant and wave a pen at you ("they say, go home, go home").

Unsanitary conditions, vacationers are forced to drink from dirty glasses and glasses, if you ask to pour it into processed dishes, they are indignant and wave a pen at you ("they say, go home, go home"). When a young man is on duty at the reception, check-in is problematic, even if there are free places. Cleaning of rooms for a double (circle of other people's hair). Even the ants were bred.
Thank you for smoothing out the Russian-speaking girl at the reception and the cook, who "sick at heart" for the hotel. Without them, there would be nothing pleasant to remember. The food is not bad, well-prepared, we constantly thanked the chef (he is always in the hall, polite, helpful, always happy with a good mood). The girl from the reception tried to solve all the problems, and whoever checked in on her shift was lucky.
At the same time, the hotel is favorably located, close to the beautiful Cleopatra beach (part of the beach is assigned to the hotel, sunbeds and umbrellas are free). If it were not for the heat and the pandemic, there is where to take a walk.
But, in general, the opinion about the hotel is negative. I do not recommend it to anyone. If you are traveling, keep the dishes clean and take medicines for intestinal infections (((

Well, I want to show off our cool stay at the Kandelor 4 * hotel, period 06/03-06/09.2021.
So, I'll start with the fact that we are resting in Turkey for the 4th time, and have been in different categories of 4 and 5 * hotels, we always go to different regions of Turkey. There is little to compare with.
Our vacation was not as usual, that is, not planned. We decided: we want to go to the sea! decided on what budget (this time they were very limited) and the GOU to choose where)))
It was interesting to look for our budget) And just all all the tour operators persuaded us for this budget for Egypt. Almost disagreed...
But we don't like Egypt. But Turkey ...mmmmm, we love it)
for a year now I wanted to go to Turkey, namely to the city of Alanya, and not the region of Alanya (where I have been to mostly 5 * hotels). And in a year I studied all the routes, all the places, and where I need to go).
And now, book a tour for June 2, and the seats on the plane have run out (((ok, we are transferred to fly out the next day.
At 9 pm on May 31, we book a tour, but we were still persuaded to go to Egypt ...I call up the travel agency to clarify where to drop my passports.
Iiii, in one second we decide that we still want to go to Turkey! ! ! I call the hotel Kandelor))) The tour operator is sad, well, ok ....Well, like the hotel is small, not the first line ....etc ....
Everything, we decided! ! ! ! Let's go.
In general, everything is as usual, they arrived, arrived ...At the reception there are very pleasant managers, they can contact you with all questions, help, tell, show. So bring a souvenir or a chocolate bar with you))) For pleasant communication, I would like to somehow thank)))
And we got emotions from the vacation and the hotel much more and better than expected.
We liked everything! ! ! ! The hotel, the food, the distance to the sea and the distance to all the places where we planned to take a walk and, of course, this is the atmosphere and the attitude of the staff.
The rooms are small but clean.
The bed, white towels, plenty of soap, mini fridge in the room, kettle, coffee, tea, sugar, water. Free Wi-Fi caught in the room and on the territory of the hotel everywhere. We lived in the main building, on the 4th floor, from the balcony there was a view of the mountain on the left, and the fortress was visible on the right) The hotel is not the first line in the city, so if you look down, there are houses and hotels nearby.
We liked the food at the hotel. Everything is oh so delicious. Yes, the variety and presentation of dishes is not like in 5 *, but really very tasty. For the first time I have, that for 5 days of rest, plus 1.5 kg ...Therefore, BE CAREFUL, everything is very tasty, and this is probably a minus ???????? ? ? ? ?
Alcohol is also decent, we tried wine, beer, delicious cocktails. Some cocktails are made from a freshly squeezed orange)))) They specify whether alcohol is needed or not) Our 11-year-old son did not climb out of the bar)))
The service in the restaurant is top notch. So, I want to give a tip to everyone in the hotel))) The chef is always in the hall, everything is under control. There is always enough food for everyone.
There were seasonal fruits every day, and everything was ripe. Desserts...Mmmmm...And taking into account the fact that we were with a 1.5-year-old baby, I was worried about the food, and even more so about the quality, he was also full and satisfied. Always found something to feed the child.
By the way, the owners of the hotel are also every day at the hotel) Everything is under control. It looks like they're trying. )
The hotel was a lot from the Baltic States, Belarus and Ukraine. We had a quick meeting with the guide Joyne up. We said right away that a small child, we arrived purely at the sea and walked by ourselves. Thank him for not showing up.
The sea is cool, walk for about 5 minutes, but it doesn’t bother at all, but on the contrary we even liked it. We went back and forth 2-3 times a day. And swimming with a view of the fortress and the mountains, walking barefoot on the gorgeous Cleopatra beach is a thrill. The only thing I wanted was that sometimes there was calm on the sea, since there were always waves.
Sunbeds, umbrellas for free.
urban beach. There is no bar from the hotel on the beach. We took water with us from the hotel.
Towels are not issued, we bought in a store nearby called A101 bedding for 0.5 dollars. Towels are also available for purchase.
We took the funicular up to the fortress. Very very beautiful. How to go to the beach, turn left and there is a funicular. Climb and Many can walk the route for free, and only further there is a paid part. We got free. Near the mountain, i. e. near beach number 1, there is a salt cave.
By the way, it is more profitable to pay in lira. We exchanged dollars for lira and paid with them. There was a course of 1 dollar 8.35 lira.
Also, We went to the local market on Friday, it's so interesting))) 1 kg of strawberries is less than a dollar.
We went to the shipyard and climbed the red tower. It was also a great walk. The views there are unreal. If you go during the day, you can take a swimsuit, near the tower there is a bay where you can swim. An embankment with pirate ships, a walk to the lighthouse....Turkish ice cream....Ohhh, how I love Turkey.
Alanya was a very pleasant surprise for us.
From the hotel there is where to go for a walk yourself, and you do not need to go anywhere. In the evening along the promenade, along the Cleopatra beach, or Turkish coffee in a cafe (by the way, it is also made at the bar in the hotel), quiet city streets. We found a lot
The location of the hotel is very good if you like a more active holiday))) I went constantly and whined, well, it's so delicious ...And at the sea - well, it's so beautiful)))
I am happy to recommend the Candelor hotel for a pleasant stay and a charge of positive emotions)
If I missed something, you can read the reviews of other people, there I found a lot of useful information before the trip)))
Take a good mood and get high from this Turkish flavor too!
And in short, EVERYTHING VERY LIKE)
Well, I want to show off our cool stay at the Kandelor 4 * hotel, period 06/03-06/09.2021.
So, I'll start with the fact that we are resting in Turkey for the 4th time, and have been in different categories of 4 and 5 * hotels, we always go to different regions of Turkey. There is little to compare with.
Our vacation was not as usual, that is, not planned. We decided: we want to go to the sea! decided on what budget (this time they were very limited) and the GOU to choose where)))
It was interesting to look for our budget) And just all all the tour operators persuaded us for this budget for Egypt. Almost disagreed...
But we don't like Egypt. But Turkey ...mmmmm, we love it)
for a year now I wanted to go to Turkey, namely to the city of Alanya, and not the region of Alanya (where I have been to mostly 5 * hotels). And in a year I studied all the routes, all the places, and where I need to go).
And now, book a tour for June 2, and the seats on the plane have run out (((ok, we are transferred to fly out the next day.
At 9 pm on May 31, we book a tour, but we were still persuaded to go to Egypt ...I call up the travel agency to clarify where to drop my passports.
Iiii, in one second we decide that we still want to go to Turkey! ! ! I call the hotel Kandelor))) The tour operator is sad, well, ok ....Well, like the hotel is small, not the first line ....etc ....
Everything, we decided! ! ! ! Let's go.
In general, everything is as usual, they arrived, arrived ...At the reception there are very pleasant managers, they can contact you with all questions, help, tell, show. So bring a souvenir or a chocolate bar with you))) For pleasant communication, I would like to somehow thank)))
And we got emotions from the vacation and the hotel much more and better than expected.
We liked everything! ! ! ! The hotel, the food, the distance to the sea and the distance to all the places where we planned to take a walk and, of course, this is the atmosphere and the attitude of the staff.
The rooms are small but clean.
The bed, white towels, plenty of soap, mini fridge in the room, kettle, coffee, tea, sugar, water. Free Wi-Fi caught in the room and on the territory of the hotel everywhere. We lived in the main building, on the 4th floor, from the balcony there was a view of the mountain on the left, and the fortress was visible on the right) The hotel is not the first line in the city, so if you look down, there are houses and hotels nearby.
We liked the food at the hotel. Everything is oh so delicious. Yes, the variety and presentation of dishes is not like in 5 *, but really very tasty. For the first time I have, that for 5 days of rest, plus 1.5 kg ...Therefore, BE CAREFUL, everything is very tasty, and this is probably a minus ???????? ? ? ? ?
Alcohol is also decent, we tried wine, beer, delicious cocktails. Some cocktails are made from a freshly squeezed orange)))) They specify whether alcohol is needed or not) Our 11-year-old son did not climb out of the bar)))
The service in the restaurant is top notch. So, I want to give a tip to everyone in the hotel))) The chef is always in the hall, everything is under control. There is always enough food for everyone.
There were seasonal fruits every day, and everything was ripe. Desserts...Mmmmm...And taking into account the fact that we were with a 1.5-year-old baby, I was worried about the food, and even more so about the quality, he was also full and satisfied. Always found something to feed the child.
By the way, the owners of the hotel are also every day at the hotel) Everything is under control. It looks like they're trying. )
The hotel was a lot from the Baltic States, Belarus and Ukraine. We had a quick meeting with the guide Joyne up. We said right away that a small child, we arrived purely at the sea and walked by ourselves. Thank him for not showing up.
The sea is cool, walk for about 5 minutes, but it doesn’t bother at all, but on the contrary we even liked it. We went back and forth 2-3 times a day. And swimming with a view of the fortress and the mountains, walking barefoot on the gorgeous Cleopatra beach is a thrill. The only thing I wanted was that sometimes there was calm on the sea, since there were always waves.
Sunbeds, umbrellas for free.
urban beach. There is no bar from the hotel on the beach. We took water with us from the hotel.
Towels are not issued, we bought in a store nearby called A101 bedding for 0.5 dollars. Towels are also available for purchase.
We took the funicular up to the fortress. Very very beautiful. How to go to the beach, turn left and there is a funicular. Climb and Many can walk the route for free, and only further there is a paid part. We got free. Near the mountain, i. e. near beach number 1, there is a salt cave.
By the way, it is more profitable to pay in lira. We exchanged dollars for lira and paid with them. There was a course of 1 dollar 8.35 lira.
Also, We went to the local market on Friday, it's so interesting))) 1 kg of strawberries is less than a dollar.
We went to the shipyard and climbed the red tower. It was also a great walk. The views there are unreal. If you go during the day, you can take a swimsuit, near the tower there is a bay where you can swim. An embankment with pirate ships, a walk to the lighthouse....Turkish ice cream....Ohhh, how I love Turkey.
Alanya was a very pleasant surprise for us.

Arrived on November 8, at 17:00, alone! We met with warmth and care (things were brought to the room, having previously been treated with a disinfectant, Covid is the same!! ! Everything in the room was shown, told! ). My room was on the first floor, but that's okay. I have a chic spacious balcony-terrace outside my window, where it is very pleasant to sit in the morning or in the evening with a cup of tea or coffee, having brewed it in the room!!! Fed great!! ! The food is varied and delicious! Cleanliness and order in the hotel and in the room were maintained! The only thing that bothered me a little was the sound! The walls between the rooms are thin and you can also hear everything from the corridor, there is not enough door between the entrance and the room (in the hallway)! But in general, everything is fine!! ! I can wholeheartedly recommend this place!! !.

Good afternoon to all of you guys-travelers, families of vacationers, and just those who are looking for a good vacation!! ! I want to tell you the story of the most wonderful vacation that I spent with my family (wife and daughter) and with another wonderful friendly family in the fabulous city of Alanya and the most beautiful Xperia Kandelor hotel. I want to warn everyone right away - an urban-type hotel, and is located in the very center of the city, because there is no huge territory and its own water parks, a dozen restaurants, etc.
Next in order:
1. Reception. We were greeted like family with smiles and hugs. Since we were two families, they asked us to settle in neighboring rooms. And-and-and no question, the rooms are on the same floor opposite each other. Any questions about the hotel were resolved on the spot, without any "think about how we can help you", all by mutual agreement. Special thanks to Elvira, for all her advice, what, how and where, I recommend. Especially the SPA. . . Yes, everyone at the reception speaks Russian.
2. Buildings and numbers. The hotel consists of three buildings A (rooms, reception, restaurant, swimming pool) and buildings B and C (residential 5-storey buildings). We had standard +1 rooms with double beds and an extra bed for a child. The room has a 3-door wardrobe in the hallway with a safe (paid $ 2 per day), a bathroom with all accessories (+ hairdryer), plasma (3 Russian-language channels), refrigerator, kettle, coffee, tea, water. Lots of bedside tables and a balcony. Rooms are clean, beds and towels are white. Cleaning was every day, and I believe that not everyone will clean houses like that. One (our personal opinion) drawback is that everything in the room works only in your presence, when you insert a key card (which is also one per room), but as I understand it, this is for security purposes.
3. Restaurant and kitchen. Here, friends bow low to the chef Simas, the administrator of the hall Osman and all the chefs and employees of the hall for very tasty food and great pleasure spent in the restaurant. Dyakuyu for smiles, attention, patience and understanding.
Meals are buffet style. Breakfast 8-10, lunch 12.30-14, dinner 19-21, BAR (alcoholic drinks, drinks, cocktails, coffee, tea) worked 10-23. The food is varied, very tasty and in bulk, rarely something repeated. Everything is fresh, appetizing and prepared with love. The guys in the hall under the strict guidance (now my friend OSMAN) are very polite and attentive to each guest, everything is served and cleaned on time, in general the boys rustle at 120%.
4. Beach and sea. The hotel has its own Kleopatra beach No. 7 (the most luxurious beach on the coast), you need to take slippers at the reception. The beach is clean, the workers on the beach are also friendly and helpful. Sunset in the sea and sandy beach. The beach has a bar, paid. The beach has sun loungers and umbrellas. The sea is very warm, we had 28-29 degrees.
5. Entertainment. Since the hotel is a city hotel, there is no animation and entertainment (quarantine ((, but do not forget that we are in the city center, and here are all the bars, restaurants, a bunch of shops with anything at prices lower than ours (do not forget to bargain, they really drop), water park, harbor, Kyzyl-Kul, a fortress, and just cool streets, with a lot of ornamental plants.
Near the hotel there are many tourist offices that offer excellent excursions (again, do not forget to bargain).
6. City of Alanya. This is a pearl in the very south of Turkey near the Mediterranean coast. Turks are very welcoming and friendly people. Go don't hesitate.
Ask me would I come here again? What do you mean, I didn’t want to leave, I drove with tears in my eyes.
I wish the staff of Xperia Kandelor good vacationers, prosperity, development, kindness and happiness. Hope to see you soon.
P. S. Special thanks to the travel company Anex Tour for the tours, and Azurair for a great time in the air, for their attention and safety.

We rested in this hotel from June 6 to June 20.2019, with my sister and girlfriend. We arrived at the hotel late at night. At the reception we were met by a Russian-speaking, very friendly man - Ali. Immediately settled in two adjacent rooms and told where to buy groceries in order to survive until the morning)).

We rested in this hotel from June 6 to June 20.2019, with my sister and girlfriend. We arrived at the hotel late at night. At the reception we were met by a Russian-speaking, very friendly man - Ali. Immediately settled in two adjacent rooms and told where to buy groceries in order to survive until the morning)). The hotel consists of two buildings. Basically - reception, restaurant. In the second - a souvenir shop. The rooms turned out to be very pleasant - everything is thought out for a good rest, even an electric kettle on the table and cups with saucers and glasses. Tea, coffee, sugar and water were replenished every day. In the shower - shampoo, gel, soap - in large quantities. WiFi is free in the rooms. Room cleaning every day. The hotel is urban, so there is practically no territory. There are two pools, but we swam in the sea. The hotel's beach is located on the territory of the famous Cleopatra beach, it is better to read about it separately). On the beach, umbrellas and sun loungers are free. There are showers and changing rooms. In the bar (it does not belong to the hotel) you can order any drinks - for a fee, but not critical. At the reception, we met with the representative of the hamam - Osman. We wanted to go to the hammam from the tour operator, but after talking with Osman, we bought from him, although more expensive, but it was worth it. 5 years ago I was with my sister in a hammam from a tour operator, where everything is put on stream - a dubious pleasure). Osman also brought us to the hammam, a three-minute walk from the hotel. Here, special attention is paid to each client, everything is done with feeling, properly, slowly, with relaxing music. I had a stuffy nose, so they anointed it with something and removed it like a hand)). In general, we liked it very much, many thanks to Osman! Now about food at the hotel. The chef here is just amazing! People from other hotels came, for money, to eat at our hotel. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are delicious and varied. Meat, fish, chicken, cheeses, awesome mashed soups, a lot of fruits, sweets and God knows what else)) - you won’t be able to lose weight for sure. The chef himself is a very nice and pleasant person. Always in sight, not only manages the staff, but also participates in everything, so that tourists are fed and satisfied. It is largely due to the skill and charm of the chef that this hotel is so good. I must say that the people who work here are all very friendly and positive. . For two weeks of stay, they never saw a crooked face or an oblique look). For rag purchases they went to the shops of Waikiki, there are two of them, for textiles in Madame Coco, for fruits to the markets. Near the hotel there is a small travel agency - "At Lena", a wonderful girl Lena works there, from the Kuban, who showed us everything that interested us - shops, markets, pharmacies - completely free and disinterestedly. From her we learned which teas, cheeses, coffee and much more should be brought home and which should not, what and where it is cheaper to buy. In general, a very interesting person - always happy to help. Lena showed us Alanya at night - the view from the fortress is amazing! With her we went swimming in the night sea. They bought tours from Lena in Pamukkale, a sightseeing tour of Alanya and Demre-Mira-Kekovo, I must say, cheaper than from a tour operator and by a lot. In Pomukkale, in order to fully enjoy it, it is better to go for 2 days. Then you have a lot of time to walk around everything slowly, swim in the travertines and Cleopatra's pool. Take more money in Demre-Mira-Kekova, because you will definitely want to buy an icon for yourself and your family, attach it to the tomb of St. Nicholas. I can write endlessly)), but the result is the same - we are very satisfied with the hotel, its cuisine and meeting people like Lena and Osman - they made our vacation unforgettable!

The hotel is not for discerning tourists who stick out all day on its territory. Because it's almost gone! There is nothing to do with children there. Animation on Wednesdays while skins and furs from local vendors, belly dancing and traditional Turkish. But my review is about something else: amazing food, because the restaurant cooks not only for tourists, but also for locals; the wine is tasty, and not diluted; beer like everywhere; Guzel speaks Russian at the reception, and so, friends, learn English, or go to Kemer.

It was precisely the fact that there were almost no children and Russians there, the rest turned out to be chic, even in the four! The beach is not far, there is a beach, you must first take coupons. Towels for the beach are also given out, you leave a deposit of $ 10, and you are free from the need to drag a huge heavy towel with you.
I liked everything more than!
