In short, the hotel is wonderful, but more family than youth.
1. Settlement. We arrived at 9 am, we were put on bracelets and sent to breakfast, the room was promised after 12 (and not after 14, as stated). There are changing rooms on the territory of the hotel, we changed clothes, went to the sea, returned exactly at 12, the room was already ready.
2. Number. We had the 4th floor (in fact, the 5th, because the first reception and lobby) in building A (the one that is further from the beach). There are two elevators, there were never any problems with them, but we walked heroically, especially after eating))
Everything in the room is quite new, during the settlement the light bulb above the mirror did not work, but it was replaced for us immediately, nothing broke later.
The only thing is that our balcony overlooked the highway, at night if you do not close the door, trucks and motorcycles interfere with sleep. So if you have a light sleep, change the number. We didn't change.

3. Cleaning. The nuance is that they clean between 13 and 16, so if you have an afternoon nap and put up a "do not disturb" sign, then there is a chance that you will not be cleaned. But if you leave your room at about 15, and hang a sign asking you to clean it, then they clean it.
They clean it quite efficiently, wash the floor, change towels, change the bed for us on the 4th day.
4. Sea and beach. 150 meters to the sea, or 2-3 minutes at a leisurely pace past the shops, then along a beautiful alley with flowers. The beach is small-pebbled, but after lunch, hot pebbles burn the feet, so it’s better to go to the sea in flip flops and leave them there. There are enough sun beds for everyone, whenever you come - at least at 11 (although this may be due to the end of the season - we were in early September).
The entry into the sea is quite sharp - 3-4 meters and deep, though then after 10 meters there are stones that you can stand on. The sea is very warm and clear. True, in the last 2 days we had a storm, the waves were 4 meters long and the water was muddy, but jumping on the waves is a lot of fun. Most of the children were wearing armlets and inflatable rings, and calmly splashed in the depths (of course, with their parents).
5. Nutrition. Very tasty and varied. Vegetables of different types, meat of different types (mainly chicken and turkey, beef was most often given out in portions), various side dishes. Every day, something new appeared on the menu along with standard dishes.
There was almost no fish (but for me this is not a minus, I don’t like it).
Delicious watermelons, melons, grapes. They also gave plums, pears, oranges, I did not try.
The cakes didn't work for me, they were too sweet.
Drinks - coffee (quite tasty), juices (yuppies, chemistry is terrible, although the children drank liters)), ayran (on the beach, quite tasty), cola / fanta / sprite. Of the alcoholic - red-white wine (I did not like it, too dry), beer (tasty).
Another nuance - there are several layouts with dishes, with me, two women were indignant at the lack of meat, because. for two! day did not bother to reach the layout with the grill)). So watch where people go

6. The territory of the hotel and around the hotel. The territory of the hotel is small, except for the pools, nothing fits, but outside the territory there is where to take a walk.
Firstly, next to a large quarter with shops.
Secondly, to the center of the village of Konakli, where there are even more shops, as well as cafes, children's entertainment - about 10-15 minutes on foot.
Thirdly, across the road from the hotel there is a bus stop to Alanya - 3.5 liras, 20 minutes drive, and there you already walk on your own (I recommend, this is better than a 20-dollar excursion with a guide, on which you will not see anything other than shops)
7. The rest. The contingent is mainly families with children, and European pensioners, there are few young people.
Animation - we didn’t go to the daytime, I don’t know how it is, the evening one, as for me, is not very interesting, except that once there was a fire show, not bad. Unfortunately, there is a beach disco, but no one dances there.
Wi-Fi is paid, $ 10, the quality suited me just fine.
Pools 4 - two adults, two children, slides only for children.
In a word, a very solid four, with a claim to 4+, more for families with children, but if you know how to entertain yourself, then you can safely go here))
