Dear travelers!
I still covered the time and decided to write a review of this "5-star" hotel to save at least one potential tourist. I stayed in this hotel from 30.06 to 09.07 with my sister 23 years old (I am 28 years old - I write the age so that you understand what we would like from the holiday) and with my son 3 years old. Previously, I reread the reviews of this hotel - they were as always positive and negative, and I had a crazy idea that it may not be worth it, but at the time of reading the ticket was paid (in the amount of 1880 USD - for comparison price-quality ) and it was too late to change something. Well, in my naivety, I hoped that the negative reviews are written by people with clearly inflated demands on life and believe that the world should revolve around them, and to me that - the sea and sand. Holy simplicity.

In short, we arrived on time and took us to the hotel promptly.

Since we first paid for this five, we did not experience any special joy of staying in this hotel, as tourists who settled here instead of four. And such terribly "happy" tourists in this hotel, indeed, full. It feels like they have a shortage. At the same time, those who paid 1.200 and those who paid 1.900, of course, keep the same. Okay, distracted.
We stopped by immediately, gave $ 15 to the front desk and happily sent us to a room overlooking the pool. The room was quite decent, except for the mold in the bathroom, and so sluggish and old that it is unlikely to be removed. well, the view of the pool later played a nasty joke with us, as Dear travelers!

The room was quite decent, except for the mold in the bathroom, and so sluggish and old that it is unlikely to be removed. Well, the view of the pool later played a nasty joke with us, as all the animation takes place in the pool - or during the day is such that with closed windows and doors, the child could not sleep during the day.

Then I was impressed by the territory of the hotel - to accommodate 1900 people on 2 hectares of land !!!!!!!!!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! (Figures from the words of the guides). TIN ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! We went out to eat and spent half an hour trying to get somewhere with these plates. Everywhere is busy, the mountain of dirty dishes. As for the buffet itself - only breakfast was decent - the food is similar to ours.
Of course, they write that they say you are in Turkey, so why is Turkish food surprising, they say, adjust. I will tell you that I am not a pretentious and omnivorous girl, but in those 10 days I lost 2 kg. Have you heard this from tourists who came with all inclusiv? And actually, horseradish with him, I and watermelons can eat alone, but my child at home at lunch is always the first, and never eats fries and sausages (he is 3 years old and I think shit will still eat when he grows up), so here, except for the infamous french fries and sausages, he had nothing ((Soups - horror - stupidly hot tomato paste or water with noodles. not even salty. The rest - all sour, spicy or even tasteless. I pushed a small force eat, but at the same time he also came as thin as a cousin Grandma in shock!
For the egg queue as in the Mausoleum, you can not eat anything more, and these basins are unclear why - full all day and stand.
Beach. The beach is a separate story.
Although we were previously told that it was our own near the hotel, no one clarified that it was across the road and trail along other hotels. Well, that's not a problem. Trouble - on the beach. The width of the beach from one hotel to the next - about 50 meters. There are sunbeds, but they are catastrophically few. there is a general coverage from the sun. There are no umbrellas. the entrance to the sea is awful - 2 meters from the west in the water there are some boulders about a meter. About them the floor of the hotel in ignorance and scratched his hands and head. There is no possibility to go with a child.
We tried to go to the neighboring beach of a 4-star hotel - we were kicked out by a security guard, saying that your beach is bad, but you chose the hotel yourself.
We had to lie by the pool. Pre-occupying the deck chair at 7 am))))))))) It stinks of chlorine pools scary, but what can you do ...

Then the child liked the children's pool (knee-deep water), it was not chlorinated water and it was changed daily. It was comforting.
I think, well, I was unlucky with the sea, even if I lie in unchlorinated water. But here we were in other danger - we changed this water a bit, but we filled the pool with such ice water ....it warmed up until the evening, but in the morning - you can't put your foot down. And you can't persuade a child not to climb, here we are until the 8th day of rest and bought a sore throat there and got to the hospital, but more on that later.
Animation - noisy and uncomfortable. There is a lot of noise, but no sense. During the day, competitions are held among the pools, but imagine a good part of the 1.900 vacationers want to take part - the show is not for the faint of heart. In short, children are being kicked out of the pool, which is filled with so many aunts and uncles that it's just a nightmare.
And it's hard to say which evening animation - we tried to get to their amphitheater several times, but there was nothing to sit there - there was nowhere to stand.
Restaurants by prior arrangement. There are 3 of them in the hotel - fish, barbecue, Ottoman.
Let's not say we didn't get for the Ottoman one, because we signed up and came, and for some reason they didn't find us in the lists. As it turned out, this is a common picture for these restaurants, but judging by the reviews of those who visited - we have not lost anything.
Fishy. we arrived late. The restaurant is open from 19 to 21. We arrived at 20-15. They gave us fish and forgot about us. If we asked for something reluctantly, they said that it was too late and demanded. Exactly at 21 they began to demonstratively drag chairs and tables, ring dishes, forcing them to leave. They asked for water, said that the restaurant is not working, if necessary - go, take yourself, if there is still. To drip.
Barbecue. The food itself is delicious. Ordinary chicken kebab, but compared to the rest - a delicacy. But it's time.

We stood with the child in line for a portion of 45 minutes! ! ! ! ! ! ! The child said that she no longer wants to eat, but wants to sleep))
In short, we can't help you do what you want. And only when the floor of the reception hall stood on his ears and threatened almost physical violence - one Turk took one minute to dial a number known to him and call a doctor in 5 minutes. Strong nerves in the guy, 5 hours held. By 10 pm, a car arrived from the hospital and took me to the hospital. Immediately a bunch of medical staff came, examined, all very quickly and efficiently - put a drip. Even a Russian-speaking Turk called his sister's room and told her not to worry.
And when it should. day the child's temperature rose to 39, I no longer turned to the reception staff, but directly called a taxi and on their own went to the clinic, where the doctor said it was a sore throat because of the cold pools.
By the way, thanks to the insurance company - they didn't take a single dollar from us, they even gave us medicine.
Although a woman with a skin allergy paid $ 80 for a doctor's appointment. ((((
When we approached our guide on the Annex Tour with a complaint about the situation, he said that he understood us, but no one took into account the unsubstantiated words and offered to write a complaint to the letter. kind of. And showed that he already has complaints about the lack of complete cleaning in the hotel room, the product at the pool, a broken arm on the beach, etc.

In short, not a hotel, but a "fairy tale". By the way, when we told the administrator that I was poisoned in your hotel, he said that it was nonsense - no one but you complained, there is nothing outside the territory. Although we did not leave it that day. And when leaving the hotel we talked to vacationers, so they also got sick in the room, with the same symptoms, just did not turn to anyone.

We left with tears of happiness in our eyes.
Some guys helped to pull the suitcases and enviously said: "Great for you - home! "

Here is a holiday in a 5-star hotel near Alanya. So I do not advise everyone. And the one who takes risks - the main thing is not to get sick, and the rest you can close your eyes ((And God save you! )).
