Enki Hotel-отдых, который удался! Enki Hotel - a holiday that worked out!

I'll start my review with the fact that we chose the place of rest and the hotel very carefully - after all, the first flight "abroad" of a 5-year-old child. We settled on Turkey, as there are already a lot of laudatory reviews from parents and children. So, we chose Alanya and the city-type hotel "Enki Hotel 3 *". Travel agency "Biblio Globus", airline "Russia". Ideal ratio "price/quality".
Now about the rest itself. The flight went off with a bang, at the exit from the airport there are counters of travel agencies. Checked in ours and went to the bus. Immediately, I note that a huge number of people arrive in Antalya, long queues at passport control, therefore, we had to wait for the collection of all tourists in our direction for almost 1.5 hours. Well, when everyone gathered, we went to Alania. The path is not close, the attendant warned, at least 2 hours. but, if you do not fall asleep on the way, you will admire the local nature, small towns, beautiful coastline. On the way do 10min. stop for "tea / coffee" and other needs. And again on the road. As you approach Alanya, a wonderful view of the Mediterranean Sea opens up. In our bus, we were 7th in line to check into the hotel. An employee of the travel agency personally accompanied all tourists to the hotel for check-in, which is nice, but added time on the road. As a result, we arrived at the hotel after 14.00. Arrived in Antalya at 9.00. Of course, we are tired and hungry, with some prejudice to our hotel.
The first thing that upset the hotel is not in the city center. Passing through the most beautiful city, we hoped to the last that we would live in the very heart of Alanya. But it's not. Our area was far from the first line with its shops, cafes and restaurants. Secondly, we were given a room on the 1st floor opposite the elevator. Upon entering the room, we immediately asked to change the room to another one, so that the child (and us, to be honest) would not be disturbed by the constant noise from the constant movement of hotel guests near the stairs and the elevator. At the reception, they went to meet us and gave us the key to the room on the 3rd floor. For which, many thanks. Let me tell you, it didn't cost us a dime. They gave us a password for Wi-Fi, the opening hours of the restaurant, a list of hotel services. Now about the number. The balcony offers a beautiful view of a beautiful, quiet street, mountains, nearby houses. On the balcony there is a table and chairs for relaxing. In the room itself, there is a double bed and an extra folding bed for a child, TV (several Russian channels, including cartoons for children), a table, a chair, a wardrobe, a refrigerator, a chest of drawers, bedside tables, a safe. The bathroom has a shower cabin, a large shelf with a lamp above the sink, a hair dryer, shampoos, shower gels, soap, slippers, a full set of towels. Two bottles of drinking water upon arrival. Is free. Looking ahead, we were constantly replenished with water and shower products after daily cleaning. And now, probably the most important thing for all vacationers. Wi-Fi catches and is free throughout the hotel, including the pool. This hotel is a big plus! We were late for lunch, but to our joy, Enki does not allow guests to remain hungry under any circumstances, and “snacks” came to the rescue. I will dwell on the hotel menu separately.

Daily for breakfast boiled eggs, puff buns, sausages, potatoes in different variations, porridge (rice or semolina), breakfast cereals, fresh bread, a set of portioned butter / jam / chocolate paste, natural yogurt, several types of local jams, fruits, cheeses, greens, vegetables, sausage.
There is always soup at lunch (during our entire stay there were cream soups or mashed soups) incredibly tasty, hot meat dish (chicken, veal), side dishes (pasta, rice, potatoes), and a great variety of vegetables, salads, herbs, spices, pastries, etc.
After dinner, the "snacks" also had a side dish and hot, and for an afternoon snack they took out several plates with cookies, muffins, buns, waffles and pancakes.
For dinner, there is also soup and a variety of hot dishes, including grilled fish, fried fish, the rest is on the breakfast and lunch list. Constantly cakes and pastries in a large assortment. If you want to "kill a worm" at midnight, then the hotel has a "soup" for this. At that time we slept in a deep sleep, so I don’t know what the “soup” included. Well, the incessant stream of drinks (cola, fanta, sprite, tea / coffee, beer). No one ever fought at the distribution, did not swear and did not push. There was enough food for everyone, and if something ended, they quickly brought another portion.

Sea. It is 300m from the hotel. So warm, clean, breathtaking. The hotel has its own beach. Sun loungers, umbrellas free of charge. Towels for a deposit of $ 10 are taken at the hotel. You can change every day. You are not allowed to bring water or food to the beach. In secret, everyone managed to drink and eat on the sly. But there is one minus that crossed out our vacation, especially for the child. The entire entrance to the sea consists of some kind of stone slabs. From this, as well as large waves knocking down, the pleasure of bathing and swimming was reduced to zero. They fell several times, hurting themselves on the stones. As a result, we spent the first half of the day at sea (the child refused to swim for fear of waves and falling), and after lunch in the pool. But there is no evil without good. Enki has two water slides, which not only children, but also us adults enjoyed riding. Plus, every day there were water polo, darts, water gymnastics, which made staying in the pool almost equivalent to the beach.
Animation. Songs and dances for children, children's playground, daily karaoke shows for adults, belly dancing, competitions. In a word, you won't be bored.
Alanium shopping center, playgrounds, work outs, mini parks are within walking distance from the hotel. Generally speaking, for children and photography enthusiasts, the city is a real beauty. We did not visit excursions, once we went to Cleopatra Beach (bus 1 and 101, fare 1 $ or 3 tur. lira). We got into big waves again, got upset and went to our own hotel. By the way, after visiting the city center, it's so nice to be back in our sleepy little neighborhood that Enki's location seemed perfect.
What would you like to say in conclusion? If you want peace and tranquility, come to the sea in September, if you like crowds, then July, August. And, finally, thanks to the sensitive attitude towards the guests, from the girls at the reception, chefs, waiters, animator, and ending with the cleaners, our vacation was a success.
