Абсолютно не отвечает заявленным 5* Absolutely does not meet the declared 5 *

We rested at the end of June 2021. Well, that’s it... I don’t know why this hotel goes like 5 *. As for me, 4 is a stretch. If in order, then check-in at the hotel - all the rules. Air-conditioned room with double bed. Cleaning is so-so. They can, for example, change towels, but they won’t wipe the floor - we once came from the sea, some sand got into the room, so this sand lay on the floor in the bathroom for several days. Faucets are old in the bathroom, already shabby in some places. We have never had the idea of ​ ​ rolling swans on the bed or something like that, even for a fee. Other vacationers said that they had, but we do not. So in general for the accommodation itself, I would put no more than 5/10. The pool is excellent, the slides work, the children are delighted, there are no questions asked 10/10. The sea is good, the water is clean (if there are no waves), at a depth of a couple of meters you can see the stones at the bottom. The spa salon works, I did a massage there, everything seems to be fine here too. But here's the food... it's certainly something...
The food spoils the overall impression of the hotel. I give 3/10 for the food. No more. It's my opinion. You can describe for a long time what and how it was prepared, but I will describe only one point. It refers to the a la carte restaurant. It goes by appointment, once per check-in, the rest of the times are paid (although I would not go there even if they paid me extra). Looking ahead, I note that the only thing we liked about this "restaurant" was... live music. Here is such nonsense. Two guys, one on the guitar, the other on the saxophone - well done, they somehow decorated this action, conceived as a "visiting a restaurant", with their playing. So, among the dishes we were served a kind of puff pastry envelope, cut diagonally. With sauce. If I manage to add a photo, I will add it, but I will describe it like that. So, on the cut inside the envelope in the bottom layer was... a piece of their local sausage, on top of it was a piece of cheese. AU! ARE YOU NORMAL?? ? A piece of boiled sausage with cheese, wrapped (well, roughly) in pita bread and fried in oil - do you think this is a restaurant dish ? ! Is this a dish from the restaurant where they accept and serve only by appointment? ! But that is not all. This "exquisite" dish was covered with some kind of tomato sauce. And in the sauce I saw... a piece of spaghetti, four centimeters. Question - where in the dish, where there is no spaghetti, THIS appeared?? ? I found only one answer for myself: at dinner every day they serve spaghetti (in one tray) and spaghetti sauce (nearby, in another tray). People could type it carelessly, and pieces of spaghetti ended up in the sauce tray. This very sauce, left over from dinner, was poured on us in the a la carte restaurant, a dish of boiled sausage with cheese. How do you like this food for 5 * ???
If a "restaurant by appointment" serves this, you can imagine what people are fed at lunch and dinner. In fairness, I’ll note, of course, that they also had good dishes, but there were only one or two of them and they were counted, and not every day. Plus, a spoonful of honey will be the moment that the sweet dishes in the main hall were very worthy, all sorts of cakes and similar sweets. And they have a platform, such as an open dining room (if you stand facing the hotel and with your back to the sea, then to the left of the pool), and ice cream is served there during the day - also very tasty. In the same place, on the edge of the platform, there is such a covered shed, and there a Turkish woman bakes flat cakes, simple and sometimes stuffed with unleavened cottage cheese and herbs. We really liked these cakes, I recommend. Here she is - a craftswoman, and about the head chef, I got the impression that he is more of a culinary specialist than a main course specialist: the sweet table is good, but the rest is quiet horror. I repeat, I am writing exactly my opinion, for sure many people liked what was served there, but we didn’t. You won't be hungry, but don't expect much.

And for alcohol, the situation is quite interesting: there is a bar near the pool, it is the most popular during the day, and so beer is poured there, for example, for vacationers, they pour it into plastic cups with a volume of 240 ml (there is a marking on the bottom). This, of course, with foam - and foam can be up to a third of a glass, that is, to drink a liter of beer you need to take 6 glasses, no less. In the Atrium bar, which is in the hotel building itself, the situation is better - they pour 0.33 into glass, but you can’t take the container out of this bar. In short, complete nonsense - to drink beer in the heat, you have to constantly run. I wish I took two glasses of 0.5 each - and the norms, but no, they pour them into beakers, and sometimes there are queues of 15 people at the bar, it turns out that you don’t enjoy beer so much as you stand in line for it. With me, the guy came to the beer with a spacing (where he got it - a mystery), and immediately scored 12 glasses on him. Our friends were resting just at the same time, but in a different hotel - so they had beer in cans, 0.33 and 0.5 each. Take as much as you like. No one stands on the spill and does not create a queue. Our conclusion is this: if nothing changes, I see no point in going to this hotel. IMHO.
Not about the hotel, but purely in the form of a recommendation - go to Alanya itself, to the mountain-peninsula itself, climb the cable car, the view is gorgeous. It is easy to get there: buses run along the highway, such as our minibuses. The journey from Konakl to Alanya is about 6 liras (pay in liras, it's cheaper), it takes 15-20 minutes to drive. Tell the driver "teleferik" - this is a cable car in Turkish. He will tell you where to get up, but even if you drive to the final one, in the city center, it doesn’t matter, it’s not far to return there. The return trip on the cable car costs 39 liras per adult and 26 per child, in time 5 minutes, no more. Even from the cabin of the cable car, and even more so from the top of the mountain, simply excellent panoramas open up, a great place for a photo shoot.
