A week ago we returned from the Utopia World Hotel Alanya. Stayed with my husband and son's family. Rest were very satisfied. And, as the grandson said, lying on the beach and eating the third ice cream: “Life is good! ". Now in order.

We were at the hotel from September 22 to October 03. Tour operator Coral, air carrier UIA. Boeing 373-900 aircraft. The seats are located at a normal distance and the knees do not rest against the front seat (for me, with a height of 163, it was 15 cm to the front back). Each passenger was given a half-liter bottle of water on the seat. Flight time - 2.20.


We did not want to use a shared transfer because of the long distance - 155 km, and ordered an individual transfer in advance. We went to the hotel separately with the children (they flew later) and the fare was $65 per car, and back with five of us in a Mercedes Viano car it cost $70. The trip took 2 hours. But most importantly, we left the hotel 2 hours later than the rest of the tourists of the general transfer. Yes, and the hotel arrived much earlier than everyone else.
We arrived at 9 am. At the entrance to the hotel they gave wet hand towels and then a glass of juice. All issued and said to come to 14 o'clock for settlement. They gave out cards for towels, they said where the restaurant was. We had breakfast, changed clothes in the SPA, left our clothes in lockers with an electronic lock and went to the sea!

The hotel is located on a mountain and therefore people with sore feet should not go here to rest. Walk from the reception to the final bus that takes you to the beach, 4 minutes downhill (the bus runs often and you can sit in the shade and wait). Then 82 steps to the bridge across the highway, then across the bridge to the elevators, there are 2 of them. But going back in the heat is hard and we always waited for the bus.

SETTLEMENT. Helpful staff at reception. The room was paid for in the main building, but it did not suit us - we wanted a sea view (they gave 3030). The money did not help, because it really was a big race, and they said to come in a couple of days.
But we decided to pay extra and took room 2038 with a jacuzzi. The room faced east and south, that is, the sea. The view is great and the room is quiet. Parking under the balcony did not bother at all - it was quiet. And the music from the amphitheater ended at around 22:00. Yes, we went to shows. Thanks to Victoria and Kurbat for a great room!!!


SEA. Great this time of year! The air temperature in the morning is 27, and the sea is 29! Out of 12 days, 2 days were stormy, but this also has its advantages - we jumped on the waves! There is always enough space for everyone. They put additional trestle beds. And on the sand, you can still stick umbrellas with tilting tops into the sand. Towels are issued and changed without card restrictions. You can also change towels at the spa. There are 2 bars, they prepare all kinds of cocktails with 10, in the left bar, if you look at the sea, they make mojitos. With 12 ice creams in packs. There was chocolate and white in horns, fruit on a stick in chocolate icing.
From 12 you can also have a snack with hot dishes, salads, fruits. There is enough space for everyone.

POOLS. A lot of them. Trestle beds with umbrellas. But we went there after 4 pm. Near the large one there was ice cream balls from 14.30-16.30, you could take it in a bowl or in a waffle cup. They also made smoothies there. But according to ready-made recipes, the list and composition can be read.

AQUAPARK. Disappointed. We always choose hotels with slides. Based on the photos and descriptions, we thought that the slides were bigger. But the "toilet" and the closed spiral did not work. In recent days, an engine was brought to them, apparently the previous one burned out. A few more slides in one pool. Good, but not what was expected. Liked the rafting. But the last roll was problematic - it was impossible to swim across and had to get up and push the circle. For everyone, even children. There is also a bar and at 12 you can eat hot, hamburger, pizza and ice cream in packages.

RESTAURANT. All liked it. Fish every day.
Monday is seafood day. All kinds of meat except pork. There are a lot of fruits and not cut into pieces: green and red apples, pears (very tasty), peaches, nectarines, plums, green and blue grapes, oranges, tangerines, bananas, watermelons and melons. Breakfast is always fresh juices. We drank coffee in the lobby. They already knew us there, and as soon as they saw us, they were already preparing coffee. Thank you! In short, by the end of the holiday I no longer wanted to eat fruit! And the grandson, a terrible lover of ice cream, also refused it. So we are happy with the food!

We went for a birthday to the A la Carte restaurant "Turkuaz" fish. He worked alone. Loved the food! There was also a very tasty little cake. Thanks to the chef and serving guys! A bottle of wine, a fruit basket and a greeting card were brought to the room.


EVENING ENTERTAINMENT. In the amphitheater from 20.30, first a children's disco, then a performance for adults. And every day there was live music and lighting effects at the ARENA.
There were tables and waiters brought various drinks on orders. Then a disco. In short, fun!

There are several shops. But we didn't buy anything.

We didn’t go to the SPA, we didn’t go on excursions. We walked and swam a lot, so this is the first hotel where I did not gain extra pounds!

Arrived back home with no problems. People left by general transfer 6 hours before departure, and we left 4 hours before.

I liked the hotel very much, I recommend it to all my friends! Thanks for the rest
