Tomatoes baked with cheese - but you will find them in the first half hour of breakfast, rice porridge seems to be in milk, but without sugar, salt, then there is a table with cheeses - one type of very salty cheese is cut into several baking sheets in different shapes, also delicious 1 type of cheese , watermelons, apples every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner, every other day-2 - oranges, honeycombs in a small waffle cup, 4 types of jam, coffee, tea. For lunch and dinner, the first days there was just not edible stewed grayish chicken, delicious rice for a side dish, pasta, spaghetti, then a rack with strange salads - pasta in some sour sauces like yogurt, cucumbers and tomatoes in different variations, greens, leaves salad - and all this is not tasty and not appetizing. For dessert, different shapes - a rhombus, a circle, a square)))) but one kind of pie, just cut into different shapes, like piemen, and all this is filled with some kind of slop of sugar, syrup! ? Why???!
Have you tried these cookies yourself? Vacationers did not like them, otherwise they would have taken them apart! After 2 days, there were small changes - they began to bake chicken, fry fries, once there was beef, never fish. I didn’t drink Jupi from the machine, the tea was always sour, I drank coffee from the machine in the morning, mostly water and several times cola. The staff worked quickly, quickly, quickly, collect dishes, wipe tables. For maintenance - the air conditioner did not work, the equipment was sent immediately, but in the future it worked intermittently, that is, on and you have to wait 10-15 minutes until it turns on, then an icy stream that was not regulated by temperature blows on you, because the location is right in front bed, which can be hypothermia of the body. The technical staff is cleaned daily, soap, shampoo, paper, towels and bedding are constantly issued without any problems - clean, in excellent white condition.
Wi-Fi did not work in the room and the problem was not solved after repeated requests, buying a SIM card for 7 days for $ 25 is simply not reasonable, I used it at the reception, the dining room worked without interruption. The location of the beach is not far from the hotel for me, it’s a quiet walk - min 7-10, on the beach there are sunbeds and umbrellas, towels for a fee, the entrance is convenient from the neighboring white in white beach of the hotel, there are fewer stones, waves ...well, what can I say the sea is the sea, you can’t spoil it in any way, I don’t consider it a problem))) There is no animation, not from the word at all - it was 3 times in 7 days, it’s held for about 30 minutes, for some reason there was no disco at all, if you like this type of entertainment - definitely not suitable - this is a quiet, family-run hotel, mostly local Turks, more like Arabs, many Romanians, not many Russians.
So cons - food, food and nutrition, not appetizing, no spices, flavors, etc. No animators and entertainment Pros - daily cleaning Clean linen Staff Contingent of vacationers, cultural, not conflict, did not get drunk to disgrace Iiii of course the sea !!! !
The rooms are small, shower, toilet in the room. The balcony has chairs and a table. The room has a wardrobe, bedside tables, refrigerator, TV, air conditioning.
The hotel is three-star, so nothing but towels (hygiene products, slippers) were given to us.
The rooms were cleaned daily (garbage was removed and paper was changed), bed linen was changed once, I think for a week's stay, this is adequate.
There was a safe in the room, but we didn't use it. They left money in a closed suitcase, once they even left their native lyres on the table, no one took anything. Very nice and kind women cleaned the rooms.
The food was good. But I'm more of a vegan, so it was generally cool for me. Buffet type, take as much as you want. There were cereals, such as couscous, pasta. A very large number of vegetables. And broccoli, and beans, and cucumbers with tomatoes in different variations, and lettuce, carrots with corn and buckwheat. Both fresh and stewed. Vegetable mixes. Lots of salads. There was meat too. Always either nuggets, or fried chicken, or meatballs, dumplings, once they gave grilled chicken. Ready to give even a whole chicken, if you wish. Of the fruits were watermelons, melon, oranges, apples. Lots of sweets, like cakes. There are no cakes, as stated in the photo. From drinks tea, coffee, various sodas. Free bar, beer and wine. But they say it's diluted. It is better, given the temper of the Russians.
The reception staff is quite pleasant. The girl speaks tolerably Russian, the guy speaks English.
Were satisfied with the waiters. Very nice, handsome guys. Everything was cleaned very quickly, drinks were served immediately.
There is a small pool on the territory, but we didn’t go there, we went to the sea.
The sea is 2-3 minutes walk, a hypermarket is nearby, a bus stop. The beach was with stones on the shore, but you can always go to Cleopatra beach, it's a maximum of 4 bus stops.
There was Wi-Fi, but it was very bad in the room, better in the hotel lobby.
The hotel itself is very pleasant.
Now the cons.
More than 80% of the guests in the hotel are Russians. Accordingly, it creates the feeling that you have never left the country. On the first day there was a football match, the men yelled all over the street.
The walls in the hotel are very thin and you can hear everything. But only Russians arranged family fights and scandals every evening. In general, they were very noisy. During lunches and dinners, they collected a huge amount of food, as if they were eating for the last time. In short, the Russians wildly spoiled our intellectual holiday.
I leave a positive review for the hotel, but a negative one for the Russians. If you are in a hotel at a minimum, then the Russians are not a hindrance.
The only thing that upset me was the bottom of the sea. Slabs of stones. When the sea was calm, it didn't bother me. You see where you are going. But we have waves all week, so you can't jump or swim. . . although they sell special slippers for $10, and then stones are nothing!
Of course, they stomped to the sea for about 10 minutes. On the beach, sun loungers with umbrellas are paid and prices at the bar are curly. But we came with our umbrella??? ? the beach is clean, the sea is just gorgeous warm and insanely clean!!!
In general, we were very satisfied!
If you walk along the embankment, you can stop in a park with multi-colored fountains and then a playground and a sports ground for children.
We liked!????
Thanks!! !
because I was afraid to catch a cold (I can’t stand air conditioners), we slept with an open balcony, that was enough for us. There were two beds, we pushed them together. There is a small refrigerator, but once the key is removed, the electrician disappears. There is a safe, but they did not pay for it and, accordingly, did not use it. There were no cases of theft and have not heard. Cleaned every day but superficially. They took out the garbage, they folded the bedspreads on the bed that we made into a bow tie)), the sheets were not changed. Towels were changed if necessary, toilet paper was not asked, they brought it themselves. There is liquid soap in the shower and near the washbasin, there is a hair dryer. Other accessories must be taken with you. It was quiet and calm at night, you can not hear the night gatherings near the pool and the noise of cars from the road. Yes, and we did not come to rest in the room. There was a TV, TNT only with Russian channels, it showed well. The water was always hot, the water was soft, the water pressure was good, the sewer was not audible.
The elevator always worked, stuck me did not catch my eye. As it has already been written by many below, the hotel has two buildings. In the main food, the pool (always clean, the slide is turned on twice), we could take sunbeds near the pool at any time, there was no hype during our stay, a bar, tea, coffee, drinks like UPI, water cooler, alcohol. In another building, animation began after dinner and until 23:00, also a UPI device, a small playground, there was a bar counter, but I can’t say if it’s there or not, I haven’t been there much, I’ve been to animation twice, well done guys, initiative . After the animation, those who wished were taken to a disco in Alanya. Entrance 10 dollars. + pay for drinks, they bring you back at 3 o'clock. Since I was resting with a child of 6 years old, I couldn’t get to the disco. On Tuesday and Thursday at 5 am, a mosque begins in our entire village, very loudly, only for 10 minutes. The second time she didn't respond. Breakfast from 7 am, 3 types of cheese, muesli,
bread and different types of jams, milk, eggs, vegetables, fresh, grilled, stewed. Lunch from 12, pasta rice (or something similar to it), potatoes once, only chicken from meat or stew with vegetables or from the oven and soy products, but this is not meat already). A lot of vegetables in different forms, greens. Dinner is similar to lunch. I have not tried sausages and salads with mayonnaise. I would say the food is "spicy" but for a child you can choose from an assortment, although it was unusual for him to taste. From fruits only watermelon. For dessert, like on semolina, cooked products that differed only in fudge on top. They weren't hungry. The tables are outside which is good, not stuffy. To get to the tables with plates from the buffet, you need to go through the reception, but in fact it didn’t really bother you. The service is good, at lunch and dinner they came up and asked what to bring to drink. Since some wrote below, no one personally looked into our mouths and didn’t take the plates from under our noses,
but the empty ones were taken away immediately. Since I didn’t drink alcohol, and those who did drink it, I didn’t hear someone say “You have already drunk a lot, you have enough for today” (although there was one settler (fortunately not from Ukraine) - not sober never seen). Bar: white, red, dry wine, I took a sample for a sample (not a fan of dry wines + they were diluted), I didn’t try beer. There is a private beach (they were not on it) and on it, like on any other, everything is paid. This did not bother us, we took a beach towel and it was enough for us to sunbathe until lunch and from 16 o'clock. Were on the 13th beach, sand, but stones slabs in the sea. Were careful. We did not buy shoes (sold near the hotel), we did without them. There are 11 beaches, they were not on it, they said there are pebbles and there are no stones in the water, the beaches are signed, 11 to the right along the embankment. We were on Cleopatra Beach, in 101 or 1 (price 3 lira) the stop route is announced, and if it’s not announced, you can ask on the bus, I assure you, half of the Russian speakers are sitting there. They changed dollars at 3.4.
Even if the exchanger writes 3.3, then when bargaining they will raise it even in exchangers. The beach is beautiful. Excursions with all due respect to the representative of TEZ TOUR (the service of this tour operator is at the highest level !!!! ! We had a guide Daria, she was constantly at the hotel, rarely when we didn’t see her there), but we refused to take them, because we knew that even with a discount, prices are overpriced by 2-3 times. Therefore, according to the reviews below, we knew where we would go to take. You will go out onto the road to the beach and on the left there will be a bus stop behind the stop down the stairs there will be an office "excursions from OSMAN", he will show you everything, the Russian understands quite well. They wanted to take a jeep safari and already paid for it (20 dollars in our time of stay), but since the child got sick they exchanged it for a quiet excursion on a pirate ship (the price is also 20 dollars). The guys from the ship gave us the second trip on the ship on the last day)), we had a great time, both on the first and on the second trip.
Someone might not like it. All excursions for an amateur for every taste and pocket. Near the hotel there is Alanium shopping center, min 10 slowly. On the street, if in doubt where to turn, ask passers-by, they will tell you. In the market in the center, prices drop with good bargaining. Women's sheepskin coats were lowered from $600 to $350, T-shirts from 40 liras to 13 liras (in Alanium shopping center men's T-shirts from 20 liras). Gold at 40-45 dollars per gram, can be lowered to 30-35 per gram. Everyone asks "hello, how are you? ", and no matter what country or city you are from, you will definitely be either a fellow countryman or somehow connected with this seller. For some reason, their girls are all Lena and Natasha, no offense, but I concluded that these are the most visited names in Turkey)).
In general, the rest was a success for 5+, the guys are all great in the hotel, hello Ali is waiting for a visit)) and next year I will definitely come back here for the same, unfortunately, already lived wonderful emotions !!! !
Service. the waiters are very fast running clean up instantly sometimes you don’t even have time to come to your senses, they have already taken the plate. It was a little annoying if they didn’t like something, they could pretend that they didn’t understand. The bartender also selectively poured drinks. He could pour hot wine without ice if someone didn’t like it, but we didn’t sit at the bar very often, so they always served culturally in general, they look at the state and can say that they don’t pour or there is no drink. Free poured white red wine vodka rakia beer gin tonic and Cola mineral water tonic.
Did not like the guide from Pegasus, Ruslan. We had an appointment at 6:00 near the reception, we came 5 minutes later, we didn’t find anyone anywhere. Although there was no tour tour, he was constantly in the lobby and we saw him every day of ours, we couldn’t find him for 3 days, it turned out that he held meetings in the neighboring building about no one said anything about this, they didn’t say anything. So we checked in with him only for 4 days out of 7 days of rest, he praised the excursions very much, he persuaded him to take a free trip to the supermarket, he said that everything is much cheaper, even than in the bazaar, everything is a lie, in fact, they transferred a lot of time to the supermarket seven floors did not differ in particular variety and choice. In addition, they waited a very long time for us to be taken back. We waited for an hour and a half. If you wish, you can go see the sights in the mountains yourself, it will cost less, you can always ask a lot of Russian speakers. We took an excursion from Osman, located opposite the beach, went to the hammam, In general, we liked it. We would go again.
Hotel location
The hotel is on the second line from the sea, but not far to go for about five minutes. Also, not far from the city center by bus (No. 1 or 101), the one that runs along the embankment, stops three or four. We walked to the harbor and the red tower for 20-25 minutes at a leisurely pace, it’s still better to go to Cleopatra beach by bus, it’s far on foot. The fortress itself on the mountain and other sights are better to visit with a tour, it is not expensive.
Meeting at the hotel.
We were received kindly. Everyone smiled and things were immediately taken to the room. We and the godfathers had rooms with new furniture. Everything was clean and tidy. Everything in the room was perfect for the entire stay. WiFi also worked flawlessly and very handy. In general, the hotel for three rubles pleasantly surprised. I didn't leave tips often, and my friend overdid it, but we were served no worse than they were.
Nutrition.
Food is also beauty. Everyone liked the food. Everything was fresh. We thought there would be no fruit in April, but everything was normal - oranges, apples, strawberries, etc. For breakfast, a full set of cheeses, cottage cheese, butter, olives, fruits. For lunch, meat, fish, salads, rice and much more. Drinks are also a complete set and alcoholic (very handy) and non-alcoholic. For dessert, a lot of different sweets, I liked pistachio baklava and kunafe the most, I recommend it.
Beach.
Beach across the block. The beach itself is sandy mixed with small pebbles. The entrance to the sea is shallow. We took the bus to Cleopatra Beach several times. In my opinion, it was worth coming to Alanya just for the sake of this Cleopatra beach. The sea is clean and transparent, no algae for you.
City and environs.
Before leaving, we were offered a choice of hotels in Alanya itself and a couple more in the villages of Okurcalar and also in Konakli for 4 stars, but we chose in the city itself and were not mistaken. We planned routes with our godfathers to the fortress then to Dimchay, to Cleopatra beach. We thought about renting a car and taking turns drinking, but on the second day in the evening on the Internet I came across a page in the contact of an excursion from Osman. It turned out that his office is around the corner from our hotel, i. e. if you go straight to the sea and turn left immediately, his office is opposite the 12th beach. As I later realized, thank God that we did not have time to rent a car. We ourselves would not walk around like that and not see enough. Yes, and the money would have come out more expensive given that gasoline there per liter is more than 2 euros. Osman made a program for us, chewed it up and put everything on the shelves. Young guy. We took a “minimum” package from him for the whole company - a sightseeing tour of the city, a Starcraft yacht and a jeep safari, and, in between, we went to the hammam. A Russian girl was a guide around the city - the “big clever girl” told everything. We stopped by the fortress, to the Cleopatra beach on the terraces. There were great views everywhere. On the Yacht, we went crazy with the whole company. I probably lost a couple of three kilos at the foam disco. Well, jeep safari is really cool. Thanks to Mustafa, it was a lot of fun and the guys in the restaurant on the mountain river cooked delicious trout. In the end, we went with the whole crowd to Pamukkale, otherwise they say that this miracle will soon disappear. Pamukkale also liked it, but all the same, I liked the excursions that were in Alanya more. There are many good impressions left. And in general, Alanya sunk into the soul, probably next year we will come again. I recommend the hotel and excursions and Alanya to everyone.
