Arrival, transfer accommodation were without delay and comments. The hotel rooms are of course very small and poorly equipped, there are no bedside tables, there are not enough hangers for clothes. some shelves would be needed to accommodate clothes, glasses, etc. There were mosquitoes at first, we easily dealt with them. We had no complaints about the food. The food was fresh and delicious, a very varied menu, something new every day, wonderful pastries, jam, honey, fruits, desserts, very tasty fish, stewed and baked vegetables, wonderful salads, and without meat we ate to satiety. The staff of the restaurant is very helpful and polite, mostly men, and in spite of this it was always very clean and neatly prepared. I think that it is convenient to relax there with children, the beach is very close to the hotel, well equipped. Of course, the bottom of the sea is for experienced swimmers, children need to be carefully watched. Surprisingly clean and gentle sea was at that time, plus 22, we swam several times daily. We went on two wonderful excursions, a 2-day trip to Cappadocia and a jeep safari, we liked it very much and were in a Turkish hammam in Alanya, we had a wonderful rest there. A magnificent trip through the night Alanya, it must be seen! For long excursions, it is advisable to take bottled drinking water with you. (5l - only 1 dollar) in a restaurant a glass of water or tea is 3-5 dollars, and lunches there on excursions are paid, 10 dollars on average. We made wonderful purchases in a small town of Konakli, 2 stops from the hotel, the fare is only $ 1, you don’t have to go far anywhere, from beautiful swimwear, underwear, knitwear, bags, shoes and ending with excellent leather outerwear and sheepskin coats. I can give you a phone number, they will come for you, help you choose and bring you back. It would not hurt to know a few words in Turkish, it makes communication so much easier when you know how to say hello, thank you and make small compliments, it brings you closer and improves relations, including cleaning the room, it’s only a plus for you if you can communicate, but when buying things you will be very good concessions, tested on yourself, buy a small phrase book, that's enough. I also want to wish our tourists to have a little respect for themselves and the hotel staff and not leave garbage, bottles, glasses, leftovers on the beach, I went to the sea to exercise in the morning and saw all this and even cleaned up after them, because it’s a shame for the state, and then we want a good relationship with ourselves. There was a very good impression about the country, and their government, that a lot of funds are allocated for the development of resorts and the city of Alanya, the people are very hardworking and friendly. We did not meet a single untidy, drunk or rude person. We are still resting in the morning, and they are working, we are already resting, and they are still working, very diligent and hard-working people, they have a lot to learn from us. Houses in Alanya are built compactly, neatly, in small areas, there is no monotony and repetition, it pleases the eye. Our goal was to travel, and we managed to achieve it as far as possible. We want to continue traveling there, there is something to see there, and this is true.
