We turned to the travel agency LLC "Tourism Center "Southern Territory", Minsk. Hotels and offers were changed like candy wrappers. As a result, the day before departure they changed the hotel to another one, assuring that it was the same. Nothing like that.
They sent us to the hotel "Acar". The hotel has a star or not, I do not know. I didn't see it on any sign. Met at the reception and sat down to wait. They waited for a short time by Turkish standards for Russian-speaking peoples, about 30 minutes. The girl is smiling, speaks good Russian, took the documents and offered a number. When he said that "first inspection, then settlement, " I was a little surprised. The concierge went for an inspection, who issued a pearl "I don't understand Russian. "
The attitude towards Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians is "exemplary": they settle in the old buildings, which cannot be said about the Germans, Poles, Estonians, etc. , who are settled in the new building. If you want to live in a new building - pay.
The room that we were given in the old building, neat with small ants and the smell from the bathroom (bath and toilet together), as for a hotel up to 3 ***. We, having looked, asked if it was possible to change for a surcharge. The Turkish comrades learned the mentality of the Russian-speaking peoples well, they offered to wait a couple of days, that is, to pause in order to earn cash and not sell too cheap. This is what they do with every Russian-speaking tourist.
The first time the room was cleaned, if it can be called cleaning, after 3 days, the linen was changed to the fifth, but since we lived very neatly, we did not see the difference, because after the change the white towels and sheets turned gray. The room was not washed at all, although cleaning is declared as everyday.
This is more and more for the tour operator anex tur and the travel agency OOO "Tourism Center "Southern Territory", Minsk, let them figure it out among themselves.
How can you disrespect your compatriots so much is a mystery.
Wi-Fi is free 500 MB, and for some reason this traffic ends on the second day, although it was practically not used.
No one announced the hammam and the Turkish bath upon arrival, although when the Poles were settled, they offered it immediately upon arrival.
On the beach, three rows of dead and more than once repaired sunbeds and shabby umbrellas are free of charge 30 meters from the sea, everything that is closer is 1 sunbed / $ 2 per day. The entrance to the sea is a stone slab and stones.
All negative emotions were smoothed out by the Chef and the team that worked around the bar and tables during meals. We really liked the food, it was cooked with taste, with soul. It was everything we wanted to try, thank you so much for that.

Came back with a child from this hotel. All negative reviews are true. A room in the new building was paid for, and we were given 223 rooms in the old building with a 7-year-old child. It's just rudeness. They promised to move in 3 days, just half of the stay, with a smile, the girl from the reception explained that no one leaves until the 15th.

Came back with a child from this hotel. All negative reviews are true. A room in the new building was paid for, and we were given 223 rooms in the old building with a 7-year-old child. It's just rudeness. They promised to move in 3 days, just half of the stay, with a smile, the girl from the reception explained that no one leaves until the 15th. I saw with my own eyes how people left the new building with suitcases. I realized that it makes no sense. They love not children, but bucks and euros, and foreigners who sit and drink near the pool from morning to evening.
The room is not cleaned there, only the towels for the feet were changed. And thanks for that. In the sea with your own towel, you can lie on any beach, but the sunbeds are only 12 free. It is better to buy corals, the entrance is everywhere with boulders, you can get hurt. There is nothing interesting for children, except for a mini disco. I have been to Turkey many times, but this is the first time such a hotel.
I really regret that I fell for the rating on the sites. Although at the travel agency my permanent manager dissuaded me from taking the tour. But the sea and the sun, and the company I met, erased all the negativity. I HOPE THAT MY REVIEW WILL BE USEFUL FOR YOU.

We rested at the beginning of June 2019 at the ACAR hotel, all inclusive. Hotel: He does not have any stars, at least I did not notice them anywhere on the signs of the hotel. Wi Fi and internet paid. The hotel is not suitable for the elderly, families with small children. The hotel is noisy, but if you are going to hang out until 12 am, then it is bearable, because 1/3 of the new hotel building is above the restaurant and loud music plays there until 1 am, on one side of the hotel, and on the other side, until 11 pm , local animators, loud, backward music, 90s, entertain the public of the hotel, as a result - a stereo.

Hotel:
He does not have any stars, at least I did not notice them anywhere on the signs of the hotel. Wi Fi and internet paid. The hotel is not suitable for the elderly, families with small children.
The hotel is noisy, but if you are going to hang out until 12 am, then it is bearable, because 1/3 of the new hotel building is above the restaurant and loud music plays there until 1 am, on one side of the hotel, and on the other side, until 11 pm , local animators, loud, backward music, 90s, entertain the public of the hotel, as a result - a stereo. At 4 o'clock in the morning, you, within 5-10 minutes, persistently, will be invited to prayer in the mosque, which is located half a kilometer from the hotel. If you paid for a standart room, you should be given a plastic card, and if you have an economy room, you will be given a plastic card with a key and settled in the old building.
In a new building, very noisy rooms: from 101 to 110, from 201 to 210, from 301 to 310.
Noisy: 111 to 115.211 to 215.311 to 315.
More or less noisy: 116.216, 316.416, 515.516.
The old building is very noisy: 122.123, 124.222, 223.224, 322.323, 324.
Quiet in the old building: from 117 to 121, from 217 to 221, from 317 to 321.
Maids:
When the guests are at breakfast, then, until 12 o’clock, on the beach, the maids make tea in the morning, have a snack, arrange meetings, and when after dinner it’s + 35 and you want to relax, they start to break into your room and hang a sign “ Do not disturb, they don’t care, they need to clean up your number, my requests are in English, don’t break into me like that again, the next day - like a “stop” signal to a hare. Baksheesh, 2 dollars each. left, did not conflict, it is felt that the hotel is without stars.
Swimming pool:
In the mornings and evenings, I watched how 5 liters were poured into the pool. a tank of smelly liquid and throw pieces, judging by the smell, of bleach. When I asked one of the waiters on what days of the week they change the water in the pool, he opened his mouth in surprise, said that they only add water to the pool, he never saw when the water was changed. You have to hate yourself so much to swim in this shit, this applies, first of all, to the Germans, Scandinavians, who spend all day near the pool, swim in this shit, swim in the sea they are not allowed by insurance, insurance to the sea, swim they can't.
Nutrition:
You won't die of hunger, but nothing special to enjoy.
Do not eat maroon sausage, even local cats do not eat it.
Fruits - hard apples, tasteless watermelon.
Ice cream and freshly squeezed juice - for a fee.
Warning: If you decide to have breakfast near a smelly pool, 2 cats live there, do not feed them especially, cat-cats in Turkey are like holy cows in India, do not try to offend them.
Staff:
On Facebook, the hotel declares that the staff communicates in Russian, English, German - this is far from the case, with the Turks, you can negotiate in any language - for money, but the staff is friendly. We, the Russians, are not liked in the hotel, the brothers Slavs, as always, for free, they don’t know the limits. I made friends with a German, he asked me if there were problems with vodka in Russia or if it was very expensive. For half an hour I tried to explain what the Russian mentality means for free, I'm afraid that he did not understand the size of the breadth of the Russian soul. I myself saw a drunken German, Scandinavian, Russian in the smoke. Difference: a German, a Scandinavian stands quietly swaying and smiling, does not particularly stick to anyone. The Russian, with an embittered face, begins to ask the bartender why he does not see the edges in the glass, noisily and in a combat stance. To tell the truth, in this hotel, as a rule, Russians are poured 1/3 less, both wine and whiskey, although in Alanya, every fourth speaks Russian, alas, they do not appreciate breadwinners.
Beach:
from the hotel Nr. 7 paid, Nr. 12 free, but only 3 rows of sunbeds from the volleyball court on the right side, there is a sign, an administrator with a "higher education" walks there, who moved sunbeds on the beach all his adult life, he can tell you, so that later, you put the sunbeds in place, you can answer him that you have all inclusive. WI FI is paid everywhere.
Bazaar shopping:
Bazaar on Mondays, from the hotel to the left after 100 m, on Thursdays, after the 17th beach, the first turn to the left. It is best to buy for bucks and after lunch at 14-15 hours. Prices, if you are offered to buy a thing for 10 bucks, then the cost of the thing is 2-3 bucks, for 4-5 bucks you can take it. Your tour operator can offer free shopping at a jewelry store and a leather, fur store, I bought my wife a mink coat without a hood with detachable sleeves, a hem, of good quality, sang 1800 euros, agreed, within an hour, for 1070 euros, also with jewelry, bought with Turkish sultanite, the stone is mined only in Turkey, he asked for 127 bucks, in half an hour they agreed for 55. Tip: if you want a tangible discount, it’s better to buy in cash, because. when paying by card, you will not get a good discount, VAT is shown for them.
Bottom line: I didn’t like the hotel, I won’t go there again, I respect myself and my money.

I copy from Tophotels. For the first time we were on vacation with a child (1.5 g). There were many plans, many things were expected from the rest, and, as it turned out, in vain. You need to have a rest without children, then it will be a real vacation))) So: round-trip flight Onur, everything is fine and on time.

I copy from Tophotels.
For the first time we were on vacation with a child (1.5 g). There were many plans, many things were expected from the rest, and, as it turned out, in vain. You need to have a rest without children, then it will be a real vacation)))
So: round-trip flight Onur, everything is fine and on time. Ekb-Gazipasha-Ekb, we had to pay extra, of course, but it was just so important for us: we specifically chose not to Antalya, because we didn’t want to stick on the transfer for three hours. We arrived in the morning, around 9.00 were at the hotel. Checked in at 14.00, earlier in any way, the hotel is full. The room is nice, new building, but the balcony is stupidly shaped and tiny. Two chairs and a table, some of this was clearly superfluous. Very closely. There is a clothes dryer, which is important. Dissatisfied with the cleaning, they never left a tip, for what ?? ? Chat with a mop in the shower and then wipe the whole room in this way? As soon as the child stepped on this floor in clean socks, the socks could be washed immediately. Some did not reach at all, they threw it away.
Bed linen and towels, however, were changed almost every day, they did not forget to put paper. But the floors are tin. Small rubbish, crumbs, sand - it was all stuffed into the corners and no more.
Food ...we went with the hope that the child would have something to eat, but ...Of course, they brought food with them just in case, plus on the way back, they eventually brought half back, because my daughter ate quite a bit compared to home. But I immediately tell those whose children are firmly on canned food: there is a very meager assortment in stores, mostly fruit, I didn’t see vegetables at all, there is syutlach (rice porridge) - my daughter ate. They saw meat and vegetables in the pharmacy, but did not take them. We bought local milk in boxes and bottles, my daughter drank it, her mixture and water. I developed a strong allergy to juices almost all over my body. There are no children's juices in stores, we tried regular ones, drank for two days and stopped, Zirtek saved me.
I will return to hotel food: for adults and those children who have been eating anything with their parents since a year, it will be fine. I will not paint the menu in detail, what we personally ate - we liked it. True, for the first time I see lentil soup every morning ...I have never seen anything like it. Moreover, it happened that they gave it both in the morning and at lunch ...As if there was nothing more to cook besides lentils. A lot of vegetables, from fruits: apples, oranges, grapefruits and something else. Sweets are so-so, the choice is large, but almost everything is about nothing. We came across squid rings twice - yummy. The beef on one of the evenings was simply amazing, with mushrooms, soft-soft. Well, everything is chicken and turkey, cooked in different ways, delicious.
I will say little about alcohol: the beer suited us, delicious. Took a couple of times a gin and tonic, okay. My husband drank raki once, and that was the end of our assortment, you can’t drink much with a child.
I thought to take some paid cocktail, but while I was thinking - the vacation was over)))
A lot was said about the beach in the reviews, I won’t add anything special, be careful with the plates, I cut my leg in two places and my hand the same way on the first day, my husband cut his finger deeply by the end of the holiday. We were mostly on the Avena beach, we didn’t take sunbeds, again you can’t get enough with a child when she realized that the water was cool and wet - they couldn’t drag it from the sea. We have never been to the 12th beach.
She sent her husband on 4 excursions: twice buggy, diving, ATVs. From three different agencies, I can tell you in more detail personally if anyone is interested. We ourselves went to the center by bus and together and one by one, Waikiki, Coton, went to the market once on business, and also walked a lot in the vicinity of the hotel itself. We drove a rented car in Side, a friend drove us. For me personally, the rest turned out to be quite passive, since I had already seen a lot in Alanya.
Of course, it was possible to visit the funicular from new places, but it became too lazy, I had already seen this mountain and the coast from all angles))) Devlet Bahceli was not going to get to the new park at all.
Entertainment at the hotel: we didn’t use the pool (I took a dip only once), we didn’t smoke a hookah, we only attended a mini-disco, we didn’t stay at the show after the mini-disco, because we went for a walk with my daughter, she doesn’t sit still for a minute. From the loud music on the first night we were a little stunned, then we got used to it, the stage was almost at our side, for whom a restful sleep is important - ask further or higher from the animation. We, having run over during the day, fell dead all three of us. In general, the animators are great, and the staff is almost all worthy, friendly people. There was one of the waiters, middle-aged, who endlessly mumbled something under his breath, incredibly annoying.
Others smiled or said hello or something else, but this one just bubububububububu with himself like a madman, either in English or in Turkish. Well, there were still some moments, for example, they kept us for a long time with a crib, which actually had to be in the room at the time of check-in or they could not answer questions, in general, it doesn’t matter anymore.
We didn’t get to the information meeting with the guide at all, while we were sleeping off, while having breakfast, we simply forgot that’s all. They didn’t lose anything from this absolutely, listening to nonsense about how it is necessary to urgently reserve excursions at exorbitant prices, how you can’t go anywhere and communicate with anyone except a guide, etc. , etc. - thank you, somehow without this can be lived.
In principle, I recommend the hotel, but I definitely won’t go a second time, mainly because of the beach. Far from the center, but it did not bother, buses run frequently. Well, just twice in the same place is somehow not interesting to me.
Well, that's all, probably, ask if you're interested)))
For the first time we were on vacation with a child (1.5 g). There were many plans, many things were expected from the rest, and, as it turned out, in vain. You need to have a rest without children, then it will be a real vacation)))
So: round-trip flight Onur, everything is fine and on time. Ekb-Gazipasha-Ekb, we had to pay extra, of course, but it was just so important for us: we specifically chose not to Antalya, because we didn’t want to stick on the transfer for three hours. We arrived in the morning, around 9.00 were at the hotel. Checked in at 14.00, earlier in any way, the hotel is full. The room is nice, new building, but the balcony is stupidly shaped and tiny. Two chairs and a table, some of this was clearly superfluous. Very closely. There is a clothes dryer, which is important. Dissatisfied with the cleaning, they never left a tip, for what ?? ? Chat with a mop in the shower and then wipe the whole room in this way? As soon as the child stepped on this floor in clean socks, the socks could be washed immediately. Some did not reach at all, they threw it away.
Bed linen and towels, however, were changed almost every day, they did not forget to put paper. But the floors are tin. Small rubbish, crumbs, sand - it was all stuffed into the corners and no more.
Food ...we went with the hope that the child would have something to eat, but ...Of course, they brought food with them just in case, plus on the way back, they eventually brought half back, because my daughter ate quite a bit compared to home. But I immediately tell those whose children are firmly on canned food: there is a very meager assortment in stores, mostly fruit, I didn’t see vegetables at all, there is syutlach (rice porridge) - my daughter ate. They saw meat and vegetables in the pharmacy, but did not take them. We bought local milk in boxes and bottles, my daughter drank it, her mixture and water. I developed a strong allergy to juices almost all over my body. There are no children's juices in stores, we tried regular ones, drank for two days and stopped, Zirtek saved me.
I will return to hotel food: for adults and those children who have been eating anything with their parents since a year, it will be fine. I will not paint the menu in detail, what we personally ate - we liked it. True, for the first time I see lentil soup every morning ...I have never seen anything like it. Moreover, it happened that they gave it both in the morning and at lunch ...As if there was nothing more to cook besides lentils. A lot of vegetables, from fruits: apples, oranges, grapefruits and something else. Sweets are so-so, the choice is large, but almost everything is about nothing. We came across squid rings twice - yummy. The beef on one of the evenings was simply amazing, with mushrooms, soft-soft. Well, everything is chicken and turkey, cooked in different ways, delicious.
I will say little about alcohol: the beer suited us, delicious. Took a couple of times a gin and tonic, okay. My husband drank raki once, and that was the end of our assortment, you can’t drink much with a child.
I thought to take some paid cocktail, but while I was thinking - the vacation was over)))
A lot was said about the beach in the reviews, I won’t add anything special, be careful with the plates, I cut my leg in two places and my hand the same way on the first day, my husband cut his finger deeply by the end of the holiday. We were mostly on the Avena beach, we didn’t take sunbeds, again you can’t get enough with a child when she realized that the water was cool and wet - they couldn’t drag it from the sea. We have never been to the 12th beach.
She sent her husband on 4 excursions: twice buggy, diving, ATVs. From three different agencies, I can tell you in more detail personally if anyone is interested. We ourselves went to the center by bus and together and one by one, Waikiki, Coton, went to the market once on business, and also walked a lot in the vicinity of the hotel itself. We drove a rented car in Side, a friend drove us. For me personally, the rest turned out to be quite passive, since I had already seen a lot in Alanya.
Of course, it was possible to visit the funicular from new places, but it became too lazy, I had already seen this mountain and the coast from all angles))) Devlet Bahceli was not going to get to the new park at all.
Entertainment at the hotel: we didn’t use the pool (I took a dip only once), we didn’t smoke a hookah, we only attended a mini-disco, we didn’t stay at the show after the mini-disco, because we went for a walk with my daughter, she doesn’t sit still for a minute. From the loud music on the first night we were a little stunned, then we got used to it, the stage was almost at our side, for whom a restful sleep is important - ask further or higher from the animation. We, having run over during the day, fell dead all three of us. In general, the animators are great, and the staff is almost all worthy, friendly people. There was one of the waiters, middle-aged, who endlessly mumbled something under his breath, incredibly annoying.
Others smiled or said hello or something else, but this one just bubububububububu with himself like a madman, either in English or in Turkish. Well, there were still some moments, for example, they kept us for a long time with a crib, which actually had to be in the room at the time of check-in or they could not answer questions, in general, it doesn’t matter anymore.

The hotel was booked in April 2017. reviews and photos.
In fact: they settled in the old building, the room is a little less than 10 sq. m. There is a refrigerator, TV and pluses ended there. The bathroom is combined with a toilet, poor lighting, but this is a plus, because. I didn’t really want to look at the broken tiles and dirt.
Because arrived at the hotel at 23.30, then at first did not pay attention to the fact that dirty towels were left in the bathroom, not just dirty, but terribly dirty. Well, that I dumped these towels in a corner, and in the morning I went to the reception. Faya didn’t even apologize, she just nodded her head, thank you, even though the towels were taken away during the day.
They cleaned the room every day, but despite the fact that I left a tip, they cleaned poorly. Someone wrote about flowers on the bed, apparently there were not enough flowers for me)) Yes, torn sheets are not allowed for a 4 * hotel, but after dirty towels, this did not surprise me. There is no soundproofing in the room, even ear plugs did not save (
The food is normal, but it can be better, finely chopped vegetables are most often already sour)) Fruits: watermelons, melons, apricots, plums were always there, as soon as they ran out, they were immediately brought.
There have always been fish or chicken. I put 3+ for the kitchen, but only because I rested in other 4 and 3 star hotels, where the food is much more varied and of better quality. Dirty tablecloths - yes, it was. Very unpleasant. But thanks to the chef - he always wished you a pleasant appetite and was positive. Staff, also smart - quickly took away dirty dishes. Drinks are normal. The pastries are good.
To the beach 10-15 minutes walk, in 35 degree heat - this is a big minus. The entry into the sea is disgusting. On the beach I met several people who complained about broken and skinned legs. The downside is that the caretaker on the beach lets local Turks onto the sunbeds of Adjara, often very noisy, as a result, there are not enough hotel guests closer to the beach.
In general, the hotel is not 4 stars, it is a very weak three. Even 2* hotels are better.
Do not believe all the positive reviews about this hotel. I never thought that a bad room could spoil the impression of the rest (because you only spend the night in the room), but, apparently, I had never been to Adjara before, he managed to convince me. Conclusion: I will not return to this hotel and will not recommend it to my friends.

Beach. There are two beaches. The nearest non-hotel property is a 7-minute walk away. An underground passage leads across the road, partially filled with stagnant water. Everything, except sand and the sea, is paid on it. One sun lounger - $2. The second beach belonging to the hotel is a 15-minute walk - the city + embankment.

Beach.
There are two beaches. The nearest non-hotel property is a 7-minute walk away. An underground passage leads across the road, partially filled with stagnant water. Everything, except sand and the sea, is paid on it. One sun lounger - $2.
The second beach belonging to the hotel is a 15-minute walk - the city + embankment. For residents of the hotel there are free sun loungers and umbrellas. But not all. Those that stand near the coastline cannot be occupied. They are supposedly intended
for the inhabitants of certain apartments. Who are they and where are these apartments, I did not understand. For me, this is just a scam for money.
As a result, the best places on the beach are either empty or quickly vacated, abandoned by bewildered vacationers,
who a minute ago were contented with such a well-occupied place. This beach has another advantage - there is Wi-Fi. And if one of the sunbathers does not want to show their relatives on Skype, devouring the entire channel,
then you can use them just fine.
The beaches are covered with sand, by the sea - with pebbles. And on one and on the second one can enter the sea only in two narrow passages between the rocks. Sections of rocks are hidden by water, but are distinguishable in clear water. I advise you to see the passages between them on the first day, and not run headlong into the sea. With all this, the sea is quite deep already 10 meters from the shore. As a result of this relief nuance, a place where you can comfortably be standing on your feet
and not on a rock, rather limited. And if you are going to swim with children, then divide it by three. Thus, during the bathing prime time, a jostling mass of bathing parents gather in these areas of the sea, accompanying their children splashing in all directions. Those who know how to swim, to some extent, push through their ranks, trying to quickly leave this infernal family zone. But even here it is important not to overdo it - 10 meters from the shore and already deep.
I saw drowning people, but no rescuers. To be fair, I note that, having adapted, you can walk on the rocks. They are not sharp enough for this. But their surface in the drops and gorges - a little carried by the wave and you can
get hurt. On the second, distant beach, sections of rocks are smoother in relief and thus pleasant when walking, but this does not make them less stone.
Swimming pool.
It is frankly small - this is its main attraction. The children's part of it was especially successful in this. Four children are already cramped there. Adults are also not so hot as spacious, especially if someone starts playing there with a ball.
During water aerobics, everyone who does not participate in this is politely asked to leave it. At 6 pm, the establishment closes by ritually throwing a bucket of bleach into it.
Numbers.
We are all adults and we think that we know how to choose hotels by reading reviews and looking at photos. This is the case when you can choose one thing and get something completely different. Choose 4 stars and get 2.
There are two residential buildings - old and new. And if this in itself is not surprising, then the difference between them is impressive. Especially those who were settled in the old one. In fairness, this difference is great mainly because of how good and modern the new building is. Everything is stylish, yet new and technologically advanced. The old building without an elevator is shabby and dull in this contrast. There are two-room suites and some lucky ones get them, but this luck pales in front of the 4th floor with high spans without an elevator, a tiny balcony, ancient plumbing and a light that turns off for a day.
Service
I never bothered about cleaning the rooms, but the towels could have been changed in 8 days. At least once. And you can’t say anything bad - they clean it. Lots of toilet paper. You hang a sign on the door asking you to get out - they put a roll of toilet paper under your door. You throw a towel on the floor, hoping that it will be changed. As a result, what? That's right - an extra roll of toilet paper appears. The staff is friendly and trained. It is noticeable that they are uncomfortable for all the available jambs. For the constantly breaking Wi-Fi,
for the daily lack of electricity in the old building, for broken air conditioners and other problems so difficult to solve in this country. They say they are doing everything in their power. But, looking into their eyes, you understand how different the problem can look when you are on the other side of the reception desk.
Nutrition.
They are fed without frills, and with what is customary in most Turkish hotels.
Food from fresh products, which is perhaps the main thing.
The drinks are of the same quality. Good beer, bottled wine.
But there is one unpleasant moment. If the food in the pan is over, then they are not in a hurry to fill it with a new one. They will fill it, yes, but not soon and not always the same as it was before. That is, if the last fried trout was taken from under your nose, then after 30 minutes you , opening the same tray, you can find Florentine spinach or peas with chicken in it. And since some of the visitors, judging by their plates, decided to commit suicide from gluttony and it is desirable for them to do this right from the first plate, then they are all, of course , cut through and strive to be the first. Which makes eating very difficult, including for themselves. The dining room, like many things in this hotel, is small in size. And if the hotel is more or less full, then the lack of space affects everything, and first of all there. Especially when everyone is eager to come
the first to understand the peculiarities of the local restaurant. But this does not improve the situation, but only adds to the imminent exhaustion
food resources depletion of furniture and serving resources.
Animation
There are two animators and they perform 3 functions - they stand at the door at dinner, hold minidisco and aqua aerobics. The rest of the time they are successfully replaced by two cats - Scratchy and Poppy. Occasionally, twice a week, local artists perform their actions at the hotel - a woman with a boa constrictor and a pyromaniac fakir.
All this is strong for an amateur and, in addition to the pleasure of the public, is clearly sharpened also to "cut the dough" in the photographs. In fact, it entertains. What, by the way, I saw here for the first time - this is a game of bingo, paying money for prizes. I was mentally unprepared, so I refused. All these activities: performances, mini disco, bingo, etc. take place in a rather narrow elongated space, surrounded on three sides by walls. Therefore, it is quite stuffy there. Considering that a third of the guests prefer to smoke there, then being a spectator, and even more so dancing, is rather uncomfortable. This is probably why I have never seen so few children at the minidisco as there are. 5-7 kids from strength, no more.
The world.
We were in Alanya 7 years ago. It is still beautiful in the evenings and the embankment. It can be seen that the city is being looked after. Weeding lawns, sweeping and washing streets.
It's nice to walk on it. Nice neat Turkish resort town.
But the Turks spoil it very much. I understand that they have this mentality, but this aggressive marketing starts to piss me off from the first attempt to walk past the store, not to mention such a bold act as buying something from them.
By the way, things have gotten a lot worse. If 7 years ago here, 6 years ago in Kanakly and 3 years ago in Kemer, there was a choice of good and high-quality fakes, now there is almost one piece of junk. If there is something to catch the eye, then they break it at exorbitant prices. Previously, it was possible objectively
negotiate half or more of the amount. Now, very rarely it is possible to throw off a quarter, and sometimes they don’t even do it. If you don’t want to spoil the evening, go past the store. Which is also not easy - they have a task so that you do not pass by.
It is better to walk along the embankment, sometimes dodging cyclists.
General impressions.
The hotel in the general mass and for the money is not bad. I have something to compare.
But there was a strong impression that there should be only one residential building there.
Two buildings bring income to the owners, we - tightness and inconvenience.
The hotel, like most city hotels, is small in size. And one more building was added there, without increasing everything else for it. And if, with incomplete occupancy, this is still tolerable, then when the hotel is more or less
filled it becomes very critical. There are not enough tables and dishes in the dining room, sun loungers by the pool. The presence of two beaches saves the situation, but the shortcomings of the bottom make staying there not quite comfortable.
And it would seem that everything there is good, beautiful and technologically advanced. From elevators to water in plastic boxes and in unlimited quantities. And Fanta and Pepsi in the fridge for free, and courteous waiters, and Wi-Fi on the beach,
in the room and by the pool. But there are many, it would seem, trifles. Either the light is cut off, then there is no Wi-Fi for a day, then the towel is already turning black, then a finger is poked on a rock at the entrance to the sea, then a woman who spent the night with her children without air conditioning is screaming at the reception desk and she will have to spend the same second. In the end, all these little things add up to something big.
And you understand, listening to people from the old building, who lived a day without electricity at 40 in the shade - you were just lucky that you got off with nothing.

Hello! Rested with a friend in the hotel Acar. There are a lot of positive impressions, so I really want to share with those who are still going on vacation. Come to Turkey, to Alanya, to Acar - this is a wonderful country, a city and a very cozy city-type hotel. There are 2 swimming pools on the territory of the hotel, one of them is located directly on the territory itself, the second is inside the hotel in the basement, the hotel also has a SPA-zone, it is Hamam (Turkish bath). The hotel also rents 2 beaches, one of them is paid, it takes 5 minutes to walk and the second one is free (according to hotel passes), it takes a little further, 10 minutes, but it's not annoying because it's nice to walk along the beautiful and clean promenade.
As for the rooms - the room is clean with new furniture and good plumbing. The room has: air conditioning, refrigerator, telephone, balcony, safe, bathroom with hairdryer, TV with satellite channels.
Meals: the food was delicious, in the morning there were various cereals, fried eggs and scrambled eggs with cheese or sausage, pancakes, a lot of different pastries. Lunch was always turkey, chicken, sometimes beef. The only thing at lunch was not the usual soups for us - mostly mashed soups. There were a lot of greens, vegetables, fruits. Large selection of cakes, tea, coffee - in general, the food is varied and tasty.
The staff is friendly, half of them are Russian-speaking, promptly respond to requests. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, there is a local market near the hotel where you can find a lot of interesting things.
From entertainment, the hotel has animators who periodically come up with various games and shows.

I took a ticket at an auction, at a price 2 times lower than usual (all inclusive, but in my opinion there is no other option in this hotel) The goal was this - my child wanted to swim in the warm sea. We also have it, but the summer was cold, windy, waves, the sea did not warm up at all, in general, the local was not an option.

I took a ticket at an auction, at a price 2 times lower than usual (all inclusive, but in my opinion there is no other option in this hotel)
The goal was this - my child wanted to swim in the warm sea.
We also have it, but the summer was cold, windy, waves,
the sea did not warm up at all, in general, the local was not an option.
The contingent of the hotel was mainly Russian-speaking from small towns, young people (as I understand it, they also came on cheap or last-minute trips)
And besides me, there were about 20 Dutch people who also decided to take a simpler hotel (at an auction) and save some money.
The staff understands Russian, the girl Nadia works at the reception,
Russian-speaking.
Everything is quite simple, the attendants are normal, some younger ones are very shy, they walk without looking up))
Those that are older - come up, ask if everything suits.
Food - something with local sausage, inedible. The choice is small
chicken or meat, kebab, sometimes fish, salads, fruits and desserts - limited, but no one was left hungry.
What is not eaten at lunch is converted into some kind of dish for dinner)). But it is always visible, and you can choose fresh.
A slight inconvenience - drinks such as wine and beer - in a bar on the street, well, that is, wine at dinner will not work, only after it.
Tipping should be left on the table, something else in the tipbox (for managers) and separately to the bartender who is in the bar on the street.
Then they will quickly clean up dirty dishes and pour you drinks into glasses and not plastic cups (I just hate them, I can’t drink from them) Plastic cups - they absorb odors and any drink from them is tasteless.
The rooms are ok, air conditioning works, but a bit noisy.
And also nearby bars where the music is all night, there is no silence in the room.
I did not ask to change the subject, because the bars are there from all sides.
Cleaning - left a tip, but so-so, never vacuumed, towels were changed of course when I put them on the floor,
the bed was changed once (I'm not complaining, at home I don't change every day either))
There is a swimming pool, you can swim. Not far from the sea, there were a lot of people, there were places on sunbeds. My daughter did not get out of the water for 4 hours, found children, made friends, in general, the purpose of the trip was achieved, my daughter liked everything.
Once we went to the water park, and once on a tour.
I would say "everything is fine", if it weren't for the heat during the day, I can't stand it well, but the hotel has nothing to do with it))
In general, there is where to go, young people - and there are bars nearby, and for 1 local tugrik you can get to Alanya by bus, and taxis are inexpensive. Guides tell everyone who is interested in nightlife -
where what discos, bars, what features. Those guides that are from the tour operator with whom you came.
If you are interested in excursions, they are cheaper in street travel agencies than in a hotel, but this is the case everywhere. The travel agency can give a good discount to the same.
Most Russians were dissatisfied with the service and the small selection of dishes, and much more.
The Dutch came to the conclusion that "for the money it's very good"
I have the same opinion, if I took a ticket to a luxurious five-star hotel, it would cost me 2-2.5 thousand euros more. And the sea (the main reason for which we went) is the same everywhere.
The significant amount of the saved amount therefore eliminates the shortcomings of the hotel))

the hotel looks attractive only from the outside, inside like in Soviet hotels. The air conditioner often failed, the water tap was not fixed, the drain in the shower was clogged. Towels are washed, some with holes. cleaned every day, but not very high quality. the food is very monotonous. from meat only one dish a day, not always tasty cooked.

the food is very monotonous. from meat only one dish a day, not always tasty cooked. in order to save money, they use the same products for several days. One day we decided to have dinner at a restaurant. we were in for a complete disappointment. the portions are very small, the meat is not salty. for three (without alcohol) we paid 53 euros. the beach is three minutes away. dirty.
