My friend and I returned from Verola Beach 4 *, in Avsalara, Alanya on May 31.2011. In Turkey, we are the 2nd time, the 1st was in a club 4 *, in Side. We went to Verola Beach in a bad mood, having read the reviews, but then we got used to it, in general we even liked the rest here, and it cost us a little less than 30 thousand for 2 for 9 days. There are no complaints about the hotel building, interior decoration, dining room, rooms - renovated, all with sea views. The territory of the hotel is small - a swimming pool with slides, tables around it and a platform in front of the stage. The entire territory is covered with a bright green, pleasant to the touch coating. At first, the choice of food was poor, then everything improved a little, a sweet table appeared and diversified. Of the fruits, there was once a watermelon, as well as oranges, medlar. Strawberries and cherries - for 3 and 6 dollars - in a tent by the road. The food is familiar to us, not peppered. Well trained staff. Moldovan maids. The wife of the manager or owner of a Turk is a Khokhlushka. The hotel has a hammam. For 20 dollars we were washed for 2 hours, massaged and given tea to relaxing music. The indoor pool at the hammam was not filled with water. To the beach-7-10min. slow pace down the hill. The passage across the road to the beach was under reconstruction - electric lighting and a tiled path were already being made with us. But the hands did not reach the beach or there was not enough money. Beach - sand, pebbles, stones. There are rocks in the sea. Running and diving is not recommended. But there are also good places to visit. The beach is small, in a secluded cove surrounded by a natural wall of stones. (you need to go down to it along a short steep ladder) There are free sunbeds + mattresses on the beach. Umbrellas of 3 types. Take your own umbrella, put it up yourself. It reminds us of our south. Towels - bring your own from home. The bar on the beach did not function with us - there was a water cooler and a machine with 2 types of juice such as yupi. No bartender, no food. We did not see a working toilet - there is one under construction. There are a couple of showers, one of them is just to wash your feet. When this is brought to mind, it will be possible to go to Verola Beach calmly. People with claims, or who have already visited 5 * hotels before, are not here yet. YET, unfortunately this is a first time hotel in Turkey. For example, two of our neighbors, 30-year-old lawyers from Kazakhstan, who were vacationing in Turkey for the first time, were simply delighted with the hotel. The poor choice of dishes for us was called plentiful. Summary - improvements in the hotel (judging by the photos and reviews of 2010) are evident. Gorgeous reception - a long aquarium, chandeliers, armchairs, sofas, plasma, panoramic elevator. But also, to improve the image, it is required to carry out a serious improvement of the beach. Perhaps by the end of this summer the hotel will be perfect in every respect. I sincerely believe, hope and wish it!
