Main disadvantages:
- Beach. Rough prickly pebble. The sea is very dirty. A large amount of debris floats on the surface. There are boulders in the sea a few meters from the shore. On the first day, I cut my leg (to the point of bleeding) on ​ ​ these lumps.
- Rude staff. When checking in, they demanded money from us to put us in a room with a sea view (seaside) or they will put us on the side of the highway (road side). The asking price is $20.
- Everything is busy. All places (both on the beach and by the pools) must always be taken before breakfast (until 8:30), otherwise you will be homeless all day.
- Internet. Free internet only in the hotel lobby and very poor quality. Outside the lobby, the Internet is only paid. And in building E (the easternmost building) there is no Internet at all, neither paid nor free.
- Bartenders dilute free drinks with water. They take a glass almost half filled with water, cover this water with their hand and add cola or sprite there.

It is almost impossible to interrogate an extra piece of lemon or ice.

Minor disadvantages:
- low quality and catering (all inclusive). Expected more. The food was not that tasteless, but very quickly got bored with everything. Unripe fruits, wine and beer - garbage is full, even milk in coffee machines is diluted with water at least half. One of the entrances to the restaurant was closed (tied with plastic collars), which created a large accumulation of people at other entrances. Hungry people knocked down. In the first minutes after the opening of the restaurant, it was really dangerous to go there with a child. They could trample.
- Poor quality of the rooms. Poor plumbing, the shower door and the door to the balcony barely opened because they were very rusty. The towel holder is broken and hanging down. The air conditioner stinks and has never been cleaned.
- someone put dirty dishes with leftovers in the corridor.
He stood there until the end of our vacation - for almost a week no one removed him.
– At 17:00, the staff began to collect mattresses from the beds on the beach and by the pools, although it was still a few hours before sunset.
- Water slides start at 10:00 and they are only open until lunch (until 13:00).
- In children's pools (there are 2 pools with a depth of 40 cm) - the coldest water. Even in the evening, the water does not warm up to a comfortable state. I don't know why. Children quickly freeze in the water.
- A lot of paid things on site: trampoline - $2 for 10 minutes, orange juice (fresh) - $2, cotton candy - $2 ...etc.
- from free drinks - circles / fanta / sprite and khimka ala Yuppi in vending machines with the inscription "100% natural juice / nectar"
- Neighboring hotels are constantly competing to see who will have the loudest screeching music. Lots of old Russian pops like Shatunov, Kirkorov and Hands Up. It seems that I got into a village disco in the late 90s. My psyche could barely handle it.

- In the courtyard of building E, they organized a CITY (they grow peppers there) and a KURNIK! With chickens and ducks! On the territory of the hotel on the first line, where the most expensive land

Pros of the hotel (what I liked):
The animators tried their best. With a rather passive audience, they were really able to constantly pull people out for morning yoga, aqua aerobics, competitions and entertainment. In a nearby hotel, I have never seen that the animators managed to organize at least something.
– The hotel staff knows the difference between Ukrainians and Russians. Ukrainian is the fourth language in the hotel (along with English, German and Russian). They have not yet learned to talk, but at least they say hello "good morning / afternoon / evening. " The animators even learned a few phrases in Ukrainian and know that Lviv, Odessa, Kyiv and Kharkov are Ukrainian cities, not Russian ones.
Near many hotels hangs the Ukrainian flag, next to the Russian, German and EU flags.
- If you do not strain yourself with shortcomings and score on the beach and the sea, then you can relax and lie by the pool for a week or two.
- There is a minibus (number 50) Konakli-Alania near the hotel. The final stop is at the bazaar in Alanya. The fare is 1 euro, or 1 dollar, or 4 lira. Drivers are friendly, stop at every pedestrian standing by the highway and asking where you are going. Know all the hotels on the route. They will take you and advise you. A good opportunity to inexpensively get to normal shops with normal prices, walk around Alanya, take pictures, buy. And just a closer look at their culture.
