It so happened that I chose this hotel by chance, because in the two previous hotels (in the center of Alanya, near Cleopatra) there were no more places (as I was told: this year - a boom), and the vacation time was already running out, although I applied to several tour operators.
I chose a hotel from the tour operator TEZ Tour, tempted by its five stars - Club Sunny World. By the way, the manager Evgeny Satunkin suggested the 4 * BIN BILLA HOTEL hotel - because his rating was higher and it was only 150 meters from the sea, and the Club Sunny World hotel had “a low rating and far from the sea”, but my inner instinct, something prompted - take this hotel! When all the documents were ready and paid, I began to read the reviews and was horrified by the many negative reviews of this hotel! ? Why is that?
I will try to give an objective assessment, although I am unlikely to be able to, because I have not rested in Turkey, Egypt and other countries yet, but have only been in Europe in 3 * hotels.
Upon arrival (5.
30 am) to the airport, having received luggage and checking in at the counter of our tour operator, we were directed to the bus, which “collected / transported” tourists to their hotels (only 8 people had to be separated). Our hotel was the last one we got to at 9.30. There was no need to get bored on the road, it was interesting to observe everything from the bus window and even take pictures. By the way, the manager Eugene was always in touch, he was interested in how they flew, how they got settled in the hotel, whether everything suits the hotel, etc. , a separate THANK YOU to him - for his care.
At the reception, we were immediately warned - check-in after 14.00, we, wearing bracelets, hurried to a late breakfast. Really long check-in is a minus of the hotel. The queue of arriving tourists, then arrived, then “dissolved” (perhaps someone paid extra for accelerating the settlement or a better room), time passed - we sat up to 14.
30 and began to be indignant - when they settled us (we are us, a couple from the Dnieper and three from Perm).
In general, the receptionist turns out to have finally kept good rooms in the main building (for his earnings) and after giving us the keys on the 3rd floor (by all appearances showing what kind of extra payment it is) - he asked to see the rooms, whether we like the conditions. It cost us $25. The room (1206) is relatively spacious and was well located, the sun “peeped” at us after 16.00, the view was partially - the sea, the city and the mountains, and went down the floor and you are already in the dining room, another floor is poor and reception. Hairdryer, TV, refrigerator - all working.
The main building is uphill, the other 3 buildings are even higher, there are 2 pools + one for children (the third pool is closed), 3 water slides.
The territory is surrounded by greenery, a lot of different trees, the paths around the territory are paved, there is a sports area, a tennis table, 2 open gazebos with a canopy and soft sunbeds with pillows, a small garden with soft portable ottomans and just wooden benches. In the evenings, my wife and I lay down in the gazebo on these soft cushion beds and looked at the evening glowing city, located in the "lowland" - class. In general, the territory is large, immersed in greenery, there is where to walk / retire.
On the first day in the room upon arrival, there were 2 towels and 2 shampoos, everything was cleaned and clean. Perhaps we are not picky people and did not notice or did not want to notice / sharpen some of the “imperfections”, but again I repeat - my wife and I really liked it. A sign for housekeeping was hung on the door handle rarely (once every 3 days), leaving a couple of dollars in a tip and a couple of chocolates. sweets in the hallway.
Upon arrival from the beach on the trail.
the day they found a couple more bottles of shampoo (although the previous bottles were almost full), a couple of soaps and a couple of bottles of clean water in the refrigerator.
It took about 15 minutes to go to the beach (if you do not go to different shops) - it was not difficult for us, it was interesting to warm up for the legs and look / take pictures. Sometimes they returned by bus from the sea. The beach is private, sandy and pebbly, entering the sea along pebbles - the width between large stones is 10 meters. This is a minus, but in these places there are often such stones, except from the side, where Cleopatra's beach - beaches with very small pebbles - like beads. But there are underwater plates, my wife did not like to go into the sea on them.
By the way, the water on our beach is less salty, but it is “layered” - tides of either warm or cold water. As it turns out, a mountain river with cold water flows into the sea 200 meters away.
Since this is the outskirts of Alanya (6 km to the city center, from the village of Kestel), it is quiet and calm here in the evenings, which is what we needed.
There were enough shops to buy gifts home and the prices were reasonable. An excursion to a pirate ship was bought while walking along the embankment - in the city near Arsen.
Wifi was at the reception for a couple of days, then disappeared. I turned it on when I needed the Internet of a mobile operator 100Mb per day - for 35 UAH. and this was enough for me for instant messengers (by the way, there were 10 more minutes of calls in the tariff).
Breakfasts, lunches and dinners suited us, but we saw a large queue of people who were standing for - what do you think - for an egg! ? For me, it's crazy to stand behind an egg when there are many other foods. Yes, there were a lot of people (4 buildings), so after a 10-minute opening of the dining room, there were not enough dishes. But once, we were 40 minutes late while walking around the city and as it turned out - there were free dishes and meat (we thought that they would already sort it out) and there were plenty of pastries / cakes left (in the evenings there were 6-8 kinds). We ate "famous" salads - cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.
, once they took a salad filled with their sauce - we did not like it.
Alcohol - wine, we had almost every evening, once we didn’t get it. Chicken meat (pork is not allowed - a Muslim country, lamb is expensive) has always been, chicken offal (stomachs) were stewed in sauce, chicken: thighs, wings, etc. were both fried, stewed and in pilaf and barbecue. Even once a week there was shawarma (I don’t know from what meat - they didn’t take it). From the liquid was not enough - in the morning dairy rice. porridge, cream soup for lunch, but there were few deep plates (we didn’t take it). There were fruits - apples, grapes, watermelons, peaches, plums. The bar has free drinks, water, food.
PROS - no city bustle in the village, a beautiful view of the mountains from the room, and in the evening - the glowing city from the gazebo, large, green, well-groomed hotel area, 15 minutes from the city center by bus, food - confectionery.
MINUSES - a long settlement in the hotel, the beach is 800m (walking 15-20 min.
), the water in the sea is “cool” in places, a narrow entry into the sea between the stones, the bus to the city has to wait 10-20 minutes, recovered by 2 kg / 6 days.
And so, mine almost let me down! Probably not a five-star hotel, but we left a very, very pleasant impression. Although I pointed out some minuses, and if we were picky people, then there would probably be even more of them (minuses), but for us these minuses were, if not pluses, then definitely they didn’t bother us or we didn’t pay attention to them! !!
In conclusion, I can recommend this hotel to those who have not yet been to Turkey or Egypt in order to understand what you want / need next. once.
