Hello everyone!! ! rested from 08/05/2010 to 08/12/2010. I will start my holiday story with a story about the last two days before departure. So, we are a young couple gathered in some heavenly place for 7 days... we went to a travel agency. . . we were counting on the hotel for a threesome.... it took a long time to choose. . . and then the travel agent offered us a foursome at a good price. . . showed photos. . . we kind of liked everything. . . agreed. . . In the evening of the same day, we decided to read the reviews about the hotel... they read and almost sobbed....they wrote that they already wanted to refuse... in general, frustrated to the point of horror, they collected things. We got to Turkey for a day. In Antalya, upon arrival, I was immediately met by a travel agent and escorted to a rather comfortable bus . went to Alanya for more than an hour. We drove upset and were ready for the worst... We arrived....When I saw the hotel, I wanted to swear... no... not at the hotel, but at those who wrote everything these terrible reviews!!!!!!! ! We arrived at 9 am, check-in starts at 2 pm. e people " wait for check-in sitting on their suitcases at the reception and grumble angrily... they left the luggage in the luggage room, changed into swimwear and went to the sea! We were immediately put on bracelets and we could use everything! Now specifically on the points:
1. CHECK-IN: as I wrote above, it starts at two o'clock. Until that time, you can swim, explore the territory of the hotel. Eat. We didn’t give any money so that we would be settled earlier. We didn’t carry the luggage ourselves, the Turk boy took it to the room and showed where and how everything turns on and works.
2. ROOM: perhaps the only thing that we didn’t really like. The fact is that the hotel is old, the rooms are also not so hot. In general, the hotel consists of a large number of 3-storey cottages. We were settled on the first floor. The room has air conditioning, TV, refrigerator, hair dryer. The room is divided into two rooms, as it were... in one there is a large bed, TV, wardrobe, mirror, table, and in the other a children's bed (2-tier) and access to the balcony ( on which there is a drying rack). The toilet and shower are combined, there is still a sink. Of course, I'm sorry for the rudeness that I will say to those who wrote not flattering reviews, but what sizes do you need to be in order not to fit and crawl into toilet bowl???!!! ! I’m not a petite girl, we never had problems with this....a person with very large dimensions will fit there !! ! so don’t believe it! and there was no need to carry out any manipulations with the shower in order to get to the toilet!! ! There was always hot water, the TV worked properly. . . and the sound and image were there, the air conditioner also worked fine. no one had to pay for it or go twenty times and ask for it to be fixed. even though we lived on a on the first floor. . insects never bothered us. . . and we always had a balcony open. . . there are almost none of them (we saw a mosquito once and once). but there is one minus: no soundproofing. . . if yours is open the door to the bathroom, then you hear everything that the neighbors are doing in their bathroom, but if you cover it, then it seems normal. peacocks didn’t yell songs at night and didn’t wake us up. In general, we didn’t stay in the room much... we were always busy with something. The rooms were cleaned every day, but in different ways... they could only make the bed, or they could wash the floors

3. TERRITORY: Great!!!! Green, clean, large!!! on the territory there are two swimming pools: one deep, the second with 2 slides; two bars, restaurant, shops for clothing, sweets, beach accessories; mini zoo with geese , chickens, peacocks), Internet cafe ($ 3 per hour of Internet); Turkish bath, massage room, tennis court, volleyball court, make a tattoo for two weeks (you can renew it for free before leaving), you can buy cotton candy, popcorn , boiled corn, ice cream; photographers work. In general, the territory gives a huge plus to the hotel.
4. FOOD: In general, the food is good. a little monotonous, but the choice is large (we never ate the same thing, combined salads, side dishes, meat). MEAT... it is there !!! ! And there is enough of it (not only chicken and fish!!! )!! ! Breakfast starts at 7 am and lasts until 10 am. For breakfast, they usually make either pancakes, or croutons, or scrambled eggs, or vegetable pancakes, sausage, cheese, jam, honey, pastries... in general, a fairly large selection. An hour after breakfast, a snack bar opens where hot dogs and french fries are served. Lunch lasts from 12 to 14. There is also a fairly wide selection of dishes. donuts and sweets. And dinner lasts from 19-21. For dinner, grilled meat is fried every day (it can be chicken, fish, sausage, and shawarma, etc. ). Also at 23 o'clock and one in the morning you can come for a night soup, but it is quite specific... ))) About drinks: on the territory of the hotel at any time of the day, absolutely free of charge you can take a drink of different tastes, water, tea and coffee, beer, wine (white and red), aniseed vodka. Tea and coffee are normal, beer too (like our usual tuborg), I didn’t like the wine (too dry). In general, I liked the food. but what delicious ones!! ! especially watermelons. A large selection of sweets (we didn’t even try everything). I’m picky about food and my stomach is very capricious, E. coli often throws tantrums, but I didn’t have any problems there !!! ! There is a children's table. Queues sometimes happened, but not for a long time and not big... you wait a minute and that's it (who's to blame that a lot of people are resting there)
5. SERVICE: it works great! Friendly. Just don’t swear with them, smile and they will do everything that you would like to relax here.
6, ANIMATION: To be honest, they never hit her... usually at that time they were walking or sleeping somewhere. But the animators are cool guys. Every day they called people to a disco in Alanya and made people laugh. . For children, the animation is good... they like it fun. In general, games were held on the territory all the time: darts, water polo, aqua aerobics in the sea, belly dance, they danced near the pool. For children, the Tukan Club. There they will definitely not be bored ! ! ! in general, there is something to do.

7. EXCURSIONS: We were in a Turkish bath, on a yacht and in a water park. I really liked the bath (In the bath there is a steam room, a pool, a jacuzzi, a mud bath, peeling, foam massage, massage with olive oil. The yacht is nonsense... I was terribly sick , the pills didn’t help... in general, it’s somehow boring, they swam in the sea, the lunch was not tasty, they only saw the caves from the yacht... no one let them in. In general, they regretted that they took the yacht. 14 slides for adults, and children's slides. I didn’t even ride all of them... I was afraid . . )).
8. PEOPLE: mostly Ukrainians, Russians, Belarusians are not many, even fewer foreigners. All the staff are Turks (they speak Russian), except for the guides, they are mostly Slavs. The guides are good, especially many thanks to the guide Danila, very friendly and attentive.
9. BEACH: - this is the best thing in the hotel ! ! Sand... no pebbles, the entrance to the sea is super !! ! the sea is clear bottom can be seen even near the buoys. We didn’t want to climb out. You can swim at night, but you can catch a cold.
Well, everything seems to be. . .
I want to CRITICATE some reviews:
1. "The rooms are stuffy"-what's the problem, turn on the air conditioner and go out on the balcony and sit for 10 minutes (so as not to catch a cold). I already wrote about the toilets.
2"There is a viral infection in the hotel!! ! All children get sick"-well, there may be a viral infection in the hotel called underdeveloped mothers!! ! at that time they don’t get out of the pool during the day !! ! and then they put it under the air conditioner so that the baby is not hot !! ! And then they write a viral infection like this!
3. "Poisoning"-well, it's the same thing as with infection.... overheating in the sun, which can cause vomiting, they call poisoning....
4. "there is no meat, there is nothing, everything is monotonous"-sorry, of course, but there is meat and there is enough of it!!!!! Chicken and fish are no longer meat for you???!!! And if you do not have enough brains to combine side dishes and MEAT and salads, then the hotel is not to blame.
5. "no juices, drinks like yuppies. Coffee and tea slop "-Do you want natural juices ??? -Forward to the top five, and then I doubt that they will be given there. soluble. Natural, brewed, I think few hotels can offer it to you....About tea....That's when you poured tea for yourself... did you accidentally notice the faucet next to you ?? ? Well, this faucet with hot water . . and the one from which you pour tea is brewing!!!!

6. "Terrible children, they are everywhere"-there are a lot of children. . . but if you don't like children, you will even have 2 children per hotel!!! ! They didn't bother me at all.
7. After 7 in the morning there are no free sunbeds"-Bred!!!! ! At any time of the day there are sunbeds near the pool and on the beach....just if you didn’t think of moving it from the sun to the shade (not that He's tough, no one's to blame.
8. "People get injured on the hills" - not a single child or adult was injured during our vacation. You just have to ride normally. . . and not standing on your head.
You just need to understand where you are going....THIS IS NOT 5... THIS IS A 4 STAR HOTEL!!!!!! For little money you want everything to be perfect !!!!! a hotel for the middle class of people! ! !!
A few helpful tips:
1. It is better to go to this hotel for families with children, for those who are vacationing abroad for the first time, and for people who were previously in hotels of a lower star rating.
2. If you smoke, please take more cigarettes with you. Because a pack of Winston costs $5.
3. Do not buy anything on the territory of the hotel, it's expensive!! ! Better go to the mini market next to the hotel.
4. You can take a bottle and collect water in the dining room or bar and put it in the freezer. Then you can drink water whenever you want in the room.
5. Take medicine. A particularly common ailment is a plug in the ear. (Her insurance does not cover)
6. Do not forget to bring beach towels with you. Towels cannot be taken from the room to the beach.
7. Excursions are cheaper to buy not from guides, but from the Turks (there is a travel agency on the market). Although the guides tell scary stories about private companies (this is in their own interests)....better go there.
8. And smile....)))) Turks love tourists. )) Bargain....they usually drop a dollar or two...
9. It's better to buy everything in one place... The more you take, the more discount! )
so my story has come to an end. I want to say that we liked everything very much, we did not want to leave...
