I rested in this hotel with my sister and niece in late May - early June 2013. We chose a hotel for a long time and decided to stop at this one, because. relatively inexpensive and it was indicated that the hotel had good children's animation. Of course, upon arrival we were more disappointed. Before leaving, I studied the information about this hotel and realized that nothing good can be expected. So. The first impression was spoiled by our arrival, from the airport to the hotel we were driven 5 hours! ! Until now, I can’t understand which road they took us, because it’s about 2 hours to go. in front of us vacationers swore about the chosen number. There was no longer the strength to choose a room, took the keys that we were offered, and went. The room, however, turned out to be not so scary as in the pictures)) The pink-blue interior a la the USSR looked normal live)) The room was given on the 4th floor and therefore we could clearly see the sea)) It will be bad from floors 1 and 2 seen from the vegetation. The furniture was a bit shabby, there was some mold in the bathroom, but we did not pay attention to this, because. we didn’t come to sit in the room, but to relax)) The only huge minus of the room is hot water, for 15 days of rest we managed to wash ourselves under hot water 5 times only during the day ! ! Yes, yes)) Okay, adults will stand it, but how to wash a child, it was a big question. The room was cleaned well, however, the towels were not changed every day, but we were not upset. In other rooms, they said that they cleaned badly and the cleaners stole either cigarettes or something else, so you have to be careful.
Nutrition. I am an unpretentious person and therefore I don’t particularly complain, there was a variety in food, though meat, as a rule, was only chicken, sometimes they gave fish, and rice was always a side dish, there were french fries, but I don’t eat that. Fruits were apples, oranges and sometimes watermelons. There were few sweets and little choice. For breakfast, of course, there was little choice of food, but let's just say, you won't stay hungry. In the afternoon, snacks were prepared at the bar near the pool, so the food was all day)) As for the staff, everyone was friendly and did not notice rudeness or impudence on their part. She smiled at the staff, maybe that’s why they treated me well, I don’t know, but she kept everyone at a distance, no one tried to paw or pester me.
Territory. The hotel area is relatively large, a lot of greenery and therefore it brightened up the cons. There is where to take pictures)) On the territory of the hotel there are 2 large swimming pools and 1 small one for children. One pool near the bar is relatively deep and there is a small paddling pool for children. The second pool is shallow, it is just with slides (there are 2 slides that work according to the schedule) and next to it is a small pool for very small ones. The niece liked everything very much, both the slides and the pools. Because family-type hotel and many children, then your child will not be bored. We got acquainted with vacationers and sometimes our child ran with other children and we felt calm, because. there were parents around and always looked after the children, everyone knew everyone))

Beach. It is, of course, horror! ! There are no umbrellas, there are some canopies on the beach, the mattresses on the sunbeds are in a terrible state. On the first day I tried to take a mattress, but when I saw cockroaches running on them, I somehow got sick of it, and it lay well on the plastic. The passage to the sea is underground, which closes in the evening. It is very convenient that the passage is underground, because. traffic on the road is very active. Further. Entry into the sea is normal, however, during our vacation there were many waves and entry into the sea could be traumatic, because. a wave knocked down and threw on a pebble. Children practically did not swim. But in Alanya there is Cleopatra Beach and therefore we lay on the sand.
Animation. We came for children's animation and were disappointed. On the first day, the animation was both adult (very funny) and children's, then they changed the animators and that's it. The animators did not know children's dances, the parents themselves went out to dance, since there were enough children and they could entertain themselves. Sometimes they took us to a disco in the city, the hotel itself is located 12 kilometers from the city, so you won’t reach it yourself. I was once forgotten in the city and I had to travel by hitchhike, because. a taxi costs 50 bucks. , the next day no one even asked how I got there! ! Well, the main thing is that everything ended well. Even before leaving, I had a conflict with one animator after a disco, he even swung at me, I was in shock. Complained about him, but no one fired him! The manager apologized to me, but that didn't make it any easier for me. Simply, this animator came to rest, not work, and it pissed me off a little, you can play tricks with tourists in your free time, and not when the whole group is waiting for him after the disco.
As for the location of the hotel, as I wrote above, it is 12 km. from Alanya and 1 km. from the village of Konakli. We sometimes went to buy fruit on the street (leaving the hotel and going towards Alanya, walk for about 7 minutes), on the way we saw mini shops and a tour agency, by the way, Russian-speaking people work there and you can buy a sightseeing tour 2 times cheaper than with the tour operator. We were lazy and bought from our operator, but according to the stories of the tourists themselves, who bought tours on the street, everything was fine, no cheating.
It was possible to get to the city by mini bus for $2. Stop from the beach, buses run every 6 minutes, very convenient) We caught a bus that says Konakli - Alanya.

In general, the rest left a good impression because of the team of vacationers)) We talked with many, had fun, we didn’t get bored. They entertained themselves, because animation didn't work. The disadvantages of the hotel were ignored. Would I still go to this hotel? Definitely not))) Do I regret that I was resting there? ? No)) I met my soul mate there, so, of course, I don’t regret it)). But I warn you, it is better to consider other options than this hotel))).
