I will write a lot, about all the little things...
Start over....
We were met by a tour operator, the transfer is pretty good (with air conditioning), we drove for two hours to Alanya... but as it turned out, we didn’t reach Alanya itself for a couple of kilometers. (Konakli village). The hotel (only 4000 sq. m. ) is located behind another hotel (I don’t even know if there are rooms with a sea view). At the reception we were greeted by Turkish-speaking staff! and our guide helped us to communicate. We were escorted to the room by a guy who carries suitcases....showed us how to turn it on, took a tip and bowed...

The room is standard (nothing good but nothing bad either - I'm talking about the furniture and the view of the room itself) - pool view (third floor, there is a balcony), air conditioning (it worked, but either the batteries in the remote control are very bad, or the remote control is like that, we they couldn’t set the normal temperature in any way... and at 18+ it’s cool to sleep at night), a TV (many Turkish, 2 Russian, 1 Ukrainian channels - it was enough for us)), a refrigerator - it was not in our room at all (although the cabinet stands under it, and in other rooms there were refrigerators (although maybe not in all), shower and toilet (also good, but not for 4 *), safe (for a fee of $ 2 per day, and very small). As we were told, the bed should be changed every a week, and towels every three days... so... no one has changed anything for us for 8 days....(towels that spread under our feet near the shower on the 4th day we took it ourselves and asked to be replaced, only one towel was replaced and garbage was taken away at the same time... ) on the fifth day we hung a sign asking us to clean the room - we were swept up or they washed the floor only in the room (no one even went into the shower room !! ! And on the balcony too) (towels and bed, respectively, too, no one removed! )!!!
It’s dirty and miserable in the corridors..... the elevator (this is a completely different story) is slow . . you go up and down at the same speed on foot... (we rarely waited for it) and the dining room is on the seventh floor !!! ))) We had a couple of days with an electrician interruptions.
Dining room - the smell at the entrance and exit is terrible (it was like that all our days), if you come to the beginning of the queue... after you have collected food... it turned out that there are not enough tables and you stand with plates until someone gets up (and the people very polite. . . sits until you're blue in the face! ) and that's how you stand with plates. . . Food is an ASS! There was a chicken, but a couple of times....Fish too....Pasta, vermicelli, potatoes - this is what they ate) Salads are a kapets....they took separately chopped vegetables. Fruit)) - there were always cherry plums and apples (wormy), once there was a melon, four times a watermelon, a couple of times there were peaches (but you need to catch them, and they are rotten)) and oranges (also bad) and there is nowhere to buy nearby...
Bar - fanta, cola, sprite and iced tea (all powdered) (my child drank so much of this shit, because there is nothing else), water, vodka, Raki and gin (sometimes), you make coffee and tea yourself from the machine. (during opening hours, the pool bar is closed)
There is WI-FI near the reception (which was especially pleasing, you can at least contact your relatives))
No staff. . .

The pool is not big, but the children are pleased that there is a slide... at least one entertainment for them..... because. animation is not good! (every evening the animation starts at 21-15 for only half an hour, only dancing is the same every day... that's the whole animation! ) in the evening at the hotel you don’t know what to do except watch the animation....and people wait until 23-30 for departure to the disco for 10 dollars (but you can say “I’ll go to the disco only for $ 5 and it passes) (I didn’t go there, I don’t know what is there)...
The sea - the beach from the hotel is something....) from the sea you need to climb the stairs to the sunbeds in order to sunbathe normally or sit right in the water... when a wave blows you (it’s hard to resist) go into the water too (very large and slippery stone slabs, people they did that knees, elbows knocked down... I saw how the guy came out all covered in blood, broke his eyebrow (((. . . ) very slippery !! ! But we tried to go in anyway, otherwise we came to the sea and didn’t swim....There are a couple of sun loungers, which the water washes... you have to put them yourself, they are just a mountain... near the stairs....Nearby there is a pier, you can go down the stairs directly into the water and swim there normally... or go to the left side of the beach to the rock there are no stone slabs in the water... but also sun loungers, respectively...
We also went to Alanya to the "Bazaar", the sellers pulled their hands to themselves....the prices are two or even three times too high at once... so you can immediately divide by 2 and understand how much this or that thing costs... in the store while bargaining ( and this happens for a very long time) they invite you to sit on the sofas, pour tea . . the assistant girl comes and massages the arms and shoulders))) everything if only you buy) bargain on everything... even on water and chips, ice cream... and if you buy not one thing, all the more so... say that there is not so much money, there is only so much... and they will sell it! (it is advisable to take small dollars, otherwise, at the sight of 10 or 20, they will not throw off... )
That's all like. My advice - do not listen to any persuasion....the hotel is bad! I do not advise!! !
