Как же не хватает нам свежих отзывов! How we miss new reviews!

There were three adults and a 6 year old child. We carefully monitored hotels, we wanted everyone to be comfortable. But! There are very few fresh reviews, it is simply impossible in the light of the coronavirus events to understand at all whether the hotel is working or whether we will be shoved on the spot, at least somewhere, as is often the case lately. We chose Grand Kaptan 5 because two of us rested there two years ago and were satisfied. They caught a good price: 43 thousand hryvnias for four. The hotel opened in July, as they said on the spot, it was 30 percent full, but it seemed to me that everything was occupied, and there were no tours to it for all dates on the website! But it does not matter, there was no crush, there was enough space for everyone. The territory is compact, but there are plenty of places to relax. Every corner is effectively used and everywhere you feel comfortable. The hotel is 30 years old but looks like new. Interior: classic style, lots of wood and marble.
The rooms are probably after restoration, everything is new, working, clean! Comfortable mattresses on the beds, lots of lamps in the room, bathroom with modern shower, balcony with table and chairs, free safe, kettle and fridge. Tea, coffee, sugar, cola, fanta, beer, water were replenished every day. There are slippers (however, we only had two pairs for four), shampoos, gels were replenished every day. Cleaning and change of towels daily, while blue towels are for the beach. A couple of times they put a dollar, but the swans did not wait. Maybe this is the influence of covid and they can’t twist the figures? In May, I rested in another five in Antalya, they didn’t spin swans there either. The windows of our room on the fifth floor overlooked the mountains, to the east, and in the morning the sun greeted us.
The food is excellent! Meat, fish abound! From the abundance of cheeses, be sure to choose your favorite. Vegetables, fruits, Turkish sweets, buns, dried fruits, various pastries! Super! Bottled wine, coffee, tea from a vending machine, juices, cola, etc. bottled water 0.5. There are no queues at all, we always came at the end of the meal, everything was full! And if you didn’t have time to eat in the main restaurant, a pool bar opens at 10 and you can drink Turkish coffee there (real coffee is brewed in Turkish) and eat ice cream and cakes. Or on the beach to eat cakes or grilled dishes. There is also beer, juices, water. In the evening, you can eat in a restaurant on the seashore, for example, Italian cuisine (you must pre-register and select dishes), or go up to the roof and admire Alanya at night, sitting in an open-air bar. There are many places to relax in the lobby and there is also a bar where you can have a delicious cocktail, both for kids and adults (alcohol).

By the way, the Internet is free only in the lobby, if necessary in other places, you can buy a day for 2 euros. On the territory there is a pool for adults (also with a bar), a pool for kids 35 cm deep and on the other side of the building a pool with three slides. There is a place to roam for both adults and children! There is an underground passage to the sea, which starts right at the pool and goes to the hotel's beach. Well equipped, with toilets, showers, own bridge, bars and attentive beach workers. Walk through the tunnel for a minute. It is clean, with a toilet and an elevator for people with disabilities. By the way, there are three elevators in the hotel, two more near the pool and one this one in the tunnel. There are enough sunbeds, we always rested on the first line, although we came at any time (my friend rested in Lonicer 5 and occupied sunbeds at 7 in the morning - a nightmare! ).
The entrance to the sea is wonderful - sand, there are large stones in the depths, we swam with masks and watched the fish. It was stormy for a couple of days, it was forbidden to swim on neighboring beaches, because stone slabs stuck out close to them and you could get hurt when the wave was big, but we calmly jumped on the waves. Every evening, except Sunday, the guests were entertained by animators, they danced round dances with the children for half an hour and made performances for adults for about forty minutes. Our kid after one such show is still learning the moonwalk of Michael Jackson. By the way, there is also a bar with drinks. Since the hotel is located 5 km from the center of Alanya, the hotel's free bus runs according to the schedule, and we took it for a walk around the city a couple of times. Very convenient, well done!
And in conclusion, I want to write about the cons, in my opinion, of course. A long road to the hotel turns out, from the airport for another three, four hours with the delivery of other tourists to their hotels. Given this path: the road to the airport, waiting, plane, road to the hotel - well, it's very hard, especially with children. It’s not the hotel’s fault, I’m talking about the trip in general... And one more thing: the hotel stands between two roads, one of which is six-lane, our window just looked out on it, cars roll day and night, I wanted to sleep with an open window, but I didn’t always succeeded. Therefore, I would rate it 8.5 points. People, please write reviews!
