I liked everything very much! The atmosphere is magical!
Turkey is my favorite country! The flight is short. The climate is wonderful! People are friendly! The food is delicious!

Far from night life. This is true for young people. Who with children or looking for a relaxing holiday - that's it!

We rushed from the airport in 1.5 hours. They brought it back in 2.5. It seems that the road is the same, so it depends on the driver.

End of August / beginning of September - velvet season.


Shops near the hotel on the territory of Alara Grand Bazar, though there is nothing special to buy there. Rather, for unpretentious buyers. Although, there is also a pharmacy with all the necessary medicines, and an optician, where they will tighten the screws on your glasses for free or make cosmetic repairs. For more serious purchases, you should go to Alanya. On Fridays, there is a market in front of the Delphine Deluxe Hotel. There you can buy spices, and sweets, and grass-ants, and a lot of all sorts of little things and souvenirs. Prices as in Alanya.
If no serious purchases are planned, it is not necessary to go to Alanya.

Great hotel!

On average 2 hours drive from the airport. Honestly, time on the road flies very quickly. I didn't even notice.

The territory of the hotel is huge, shared with the Botanist. Despite the merger of the two hotels, there is no overcrowding and crowds anywhere. Lots of sun loungers. I came to the beach at 8.9 and at 10 in the morning - they were always free. but if you want to lie in a certain place, then you can take a sunbed before breakfast. Then a 100% guarantee! I can’t say anything about sunbeds by the pools, I sunbathed only by the sea. The smells of plants are dizzying! what kind of flowers, shrubs and trees does not grow there! Wow! Especially aromas tickle the nostrils after sunset and at night!

The building is ultra-modern in high-tech style. At 21:00 on the facade from the side of the main entrance there is a light and music show. Lasts approximately 15 minutes. You can watch it once. It's a bit chilly inside, I think.
But I am a southerner, and people did not complain about air conditioners. But I was dead. I always wanted to go outside.

I had a room on the fifth floor, in the very center, with a gorgeous sea view! They settled me in it completely free of charge, as a regular guest of the Dolphin chain. As a token of gratitude, she gave me a box of chocolates. They took it with dignity, thanked for a very long time, it was nice! )))

The sea is gorgeous! Warm, affectionate, clean, transparent, like a tear! The entrance to the sea is difficult with stones. But in special shoes - simple and easy. Depth starts very quickly! The kids are all wearing sleeves. Advanced swimmers in masks said that the fish are in bulk, and it is very diverse. Though not the Red Sea, but go! )))

The service is beyond praise! It turns out that Dolphin has its own staff training school. And they train there not only physical professional skills, but also psychological ones, as well as stress resistance!

I have never noticed that at least one tourist was given any remark, even if he is wrong a thousand times. And although almost all of them were majestic and noble, still some individuals managed to distinguish themselves. For example, one madam came to dinner in a bathing suit and a pareo with a completely wandering look, she also took out the brains of the staff, give her, you know, bananas in a peel, and not peeled and chopped. They endured, they found bananas, not a word about the dress code, they smiled politely! Although, at the entrance to all restaurants there are visual signs with photos of what you can and cannot wear. Men, by the way, were also not driven in breeches.

The food is just great! Someone wrote in the reviews that it is monotonous. Then I looked closely: a person rested for 21 days! Well, of course, maybe in 21 days the food will become boring, but for me, having a rest for only 8 nights, I didn’t have to try everything, even with a great desire! And the quality of products, and freshness, and serving - everything is just the highest class!
The staff are all just darlings. I saw one inflated waiter, sat down at a table that he served solely because of the lack of free tables from the guys who constantly served me. They saw, smiled, came up to say hello, and took my orders. They did not refuse, even though the sector was not theirs. Young, cheerful, cute, always in a good mood and work fast! Hero names: Mehmet Golikonan and Kasim? elemli. The girl's room was also cleaned very conscientiously, the swans were twisted, the flowers were laid out, the bed was changed every 3 days, there were heaps of towels. All sorts of detergents, toothbrushes, pastes, gels, etc. small things were reported regularly.

There is definitely entertainment. Only they all somehow passed me by! ))) In the afternoon, nothing reached the beach, even information about upcoming events. Well, in the evening I left after dinner. I visited only the Gala evening and the Foam Party. I liked Gala. Beautiful, fun, spectacular.
They do not spare money for fireworks and treats. The foam party on the territory of Delphine Deluxe is about nothing. The music is so-so, not enough foam! And mostly children.


In Okurcalar, the nightlife is not very good. The nearest more or less club is Summer Garden in Konakli. It's a 20 minute drive. Well, the club is not to say that straight wow. Normal music starts after 2 am. No go-go, show, etc. for you. Sometimes a couple of liquid fireworks torches are released, about once every 45 minutes. That's all the special effects! Mojito 33 lira, B52 - 17. Entrance for boys $ 10, girls - free of charge. If brought by animators - entrance is paid for everyone. I don’t even know if the animators take the Dolphins somewhere to the disco, because I haven’t seen these same animators in my eyes! In Alanya on the Marina, I like it much more. yachts, sea, clubs on the promenade! open air! Everything is as it should be! The only but: to Alanya 40 km! As for the club in the hotel itself, well, it's generally ridiculous. No smoking! What's the club? 3 people, kondei so shuruyut - frost on the tables! In a word - sadness!
The hotel is primarily focused on families with children. If you go with your company, it will also be fun. I, by coincidence, rested alone. And, despite this, I did not have to be bored. Russian-speaking staff surrounded with care and attention. Didn't get bored for a minute. True, they worked until 10 pm. Well, I left the hotel after dinner. )))

The advantages of the hotel are the building itself, the food and the sincere staff. They work like bees. From morning to evening! And thanks to this diligence, every tourist feels like a VIP, the most long-awaited and desired! Oh, and green space.

I did not notice any shortcomings. I read in the reviews that in the rooms, in the toilet sometimes there is a sewer smell. I have not noticed. And no other flaws at all.

The hotel really values ​ ​ its reputation and its guests! And the slogan of the hotel: "The pleasure of the guest is our main mission" - far from empty words!
