I welcome everyone! I want to share my opinion about our holiday. We liked everything. The distance from the airport to my hotel was long, they wanted to check into the room already. The Reception did not make us wait long, settled in the room within 10-15 minutes. The room was on the 4th floor and the view from it was amazing.

The Reception did not make us wait long, settled in the room within 10-15 minutes. The room was on the 4th floor and the view from it was amazing. Room service was top notch. The staff was friendly and ready to help at any time. The food was varied, buffet style.
As for the sea, it’s a bit far to get there on foot, but there are special buses that take you at a special time and then take you back. The beach is clean and there are plenty of sun loungers. When entering the sea, you need to be careful, as there are sharp plates at the beginning, but if you pay a little further, then you can safely swim.
There are animations for adults and children. You can also play volleyball and darts.
As for excursions, we read a lot on VKontakte about tours at Alik, but when a guide approached us, we decided to ask about the prices for excursions. The tour guide prices were great. Tried to bring down a little price, but the guide did not make concessions. Therefore, they wrote to Alik, booked online. Took tours on Sapadera Canyon and Rafting. Everything was of high quality and at affordable prices. You can also order a transfer from Alik both to and from the Airport.
Thank you Utopia for a wonderful stay! We will definitely come back here.

And so, being here and now for the third day I want to share information. To go 3.5 hours, after the plane is infinitely difficult, arrived at 9.00 check-in at 14.00. We were offered to go to a restaurant for breakfast, there is a lot of food, it is varied, there are no questions. Drinks in bars (I don’t drink strong drinks, so I focus on cocktails and beer mostly) are all completely unoriginal, they can make the same one in different ways, there is no intoxication because I doubt the quality and originality of the drink (but for vacationers this is rather a plus almost never met drunk people).

And so, being here and now for the third day I want to share information.
To go 3.5 hours, after the plane is infinitely difficult, arrived at 9.00 check-in at 14.00. We were offered to go to a restaurant for breakfast, there is a lot of food, it is varied, there are no questions. Drinks in bars (I don’t drink strong drinks, so I focus on cocktails and beer mostly) are all completely unoriginal, they can make the same one in different ways, there is no intoxication because I doubt the quality and originality of the drink (but for vacationers this is rather a plus almost never met drunk people).
Number: the first two days we lived in a hotel, on the second floor, a view of the mountains below the main entrance, the room is comfortable, 2 beds, one large, the second single. The bar filled up every other day. But today they moved to a villa, so to speak. To say that I'm upset for 100.
000 per person for a ticket is nothing to say, the floor is covered with something, everything is old (in terms of repair), everything in the bathroom is covered in lime and plaque, cobwebs on the balcony (I have a phobia for someone, it’s possible and it doesn’t matter), 2 single beds beds, no blankets (it's cool at night in October), apparently blankets for the main hotel building. They promised a villa next to the elevator and on the upper level, i. e. closer to the hotel, but apparently they forgot about it. Was given the lowest level, to which to cut on 2 elevators, so-so pleasure and a walk in the evening. I expressed my indignation to the tour operator, he pointed out that I should have asked for another number. I returned to the reception, dissatisfied looks sawed me for about 20 minutes, while we found out what was wrong, of course there were no other (type) places, but tomorrow they would be moved to a higher level, today we spent 4 hours hanging around idle with these evictions and settlements, the day was profukan. Animation in the evening from 21.15 to 22.15 nothing more, no discos - nothing. Like everyone sleep!
With horror I wait for what will happen tomorrow, I suppose that the number, although the level above, will be the same. She was expecting a talker, she came abroad for the first time with her son, and suddenly this happened.
I definitely won't come back here again.

The hotel was chosen based on the views in the photo. Pros: - legs in good shape! ) even if you use elevators, you will inevitably have to walk up/down. Joint problems - definitely a different hotel! And you will also experience certain difficulties with strollers (this is a minus) - multi-level pools - a lot of trees - of course the views! They are beautiful: both on the sea and on the city - unobtrusive animation (so unobtrusive that even if you wanted to infiltrate some kind of entertainment, you would not immediately understand where to run))) - the food is simple, but I don’t see the point in criticizing, somewhere better, somewhere worse, there was no caviar, but the plates were not empty either - I really liked the concept of performing groups with live music, the repertoire is excellent: both fashionable and familiar, and old, but cheerful) - good brands of strong alcohol in an honest assortment, delicious blackberry wine.

- good brands of strong alcohol in an honest assortment, delicious blackberry wine.
Minuses:
- despite the fresh bulk sand, for some reason the beach as a whole looks untidy, somehow gloomy. Maybe its rocky part painted with green paint creates such an impression. But it is comfortable to sunbathe on it)
- far from the airport, but we took an individual transfer from the tour operator and we were rushed in less than 2 hours (the cost of the round-trip turned out to be something around 70 euros, I don’t know if it depended on the number of people, we are 3 adults and a child of 8 years old) .
- you can, of course, not focus on this, but they won’t make a good cocktail. You can safely count on decent 2-component drinks, taking into account the above about good strong alcohol.
- those who love walking along the coastline should give up this idea - the beach is surrounded by rocks (but this can be seen in the photo, so no surprises)
- inconvenience with cutlery in the dining room, serving involves a set of fork-knife on the table for a person, they give out a spoon for soup on the spot at the distribution, but if you take dessert, you start rushing about in search of cutlery or waiters, why can’t you put dessert spoons or forks at the access point ? Anyway, in kraft bags. . .
Normal hotel, without euphoria, but there will be no disappointment either. Definitely worth your money. We do not regret!

We were in this hotel in 2019 and 2021, just arrived, the only difference is in the food, it was a 4 * hotel, there is no variety, in 4 places in the restaurant everything is the same, all other visitors also said that this year is worse became on food. Who wants to go to a hotel where the sea is calm and for small children to swim, this is not the hotel, we knew what we were going to, we were told that last Sunday the boy drowned, because every day big waves, only one day was calm.

What to do in the hotel is something for both adults and children. Minus the hotel is food (for the money you can find better) and the sea.

We were satisfied, we were impressed by the views and the territory, we have been to different hotels and there is something to compare with, I am writing a review for the first time, I just cannot help but share it! The staff is very friendly, well-mannered, and there are a lot of them here. The territory is simple, it is impossible to describe this beauty) just a tower!! ! We lived in the main building, the room was cleaned every day, everything is clean and tidy.

According to the local population, this is one of the best hotels in Alanya. Maybe. Yes, this is a huge area, beautiful, well-groomed. Beautiful views, everything is super outside, the service is good, everything is good with food as for quarantine, well, what to write about the good, there is a lot of it, better about the minuses, or rather what the hotel saves on.

1. The designer of the lobby (this is the first impression of the hotel) to shoot. Throw away dirty sofas - well, a shame, as for a 5 star hotel. It is clear that all this was done by tourists with dirty shorts, but you can choose the right upholstery, you sit like in an airport. Dear owners - buy designer services! Everything is very depressing. The main bar does not differ from the dining room, well, this is your face and the first impression of a tourist!
2. The number of rooms got tired, well, probably because the jumshuts worked and there was only silicone from the tool. The dishes are old, the plastic glasses on the beach are cracked, they cost a penny, but they spoil the impression. With all this, the staff is trying, trying to pull the hotel by 5, but because of the large areas, the filling does not smell of high-quality furnishings. Animation team, dissolves, it's gone. Despite the fact that 1 performance took place in a week, and then - such a low-grade gravy, well, for a plus sign.
Overall rating 4. Will not come again. I don't understand people who are regulars. Not impressed.

We were two adults + a 15 year old child. Standard number. The remoteness of the hotel from the airport is large, it takes a long time to drive, but a bottle of wine along the way solves this problem. The hotel is territorially the last in the list of vacationers, so consider this feature when planning excursions - you will be picked up first, go around all the other hotels with you for about 4 hours and return last.

The hotel is territorially the last in the list of vacationers, so consider this feature when planning excursions - you will be picked up first, go around all the other hotels with you for about 4 hours and return last. The territory of the hotel for 5+ everything is well-groomed, trimmed. The hotel has a cascading territory, steps, so people with problems of the musculoskeletal system should not go here.
Chickens and roosters roam the territory, crowing loudly in the morning, so you may not need an alarm clock if you sleep with an open balcony. The rooms are good, with traces of fresh renovation. Cleaning is normal, only the mini-bar was replenished every other day, sometimes there were no bath towels at all. We had a room on the 2nd floor, indicated the wish when buying a tour after reading the reviews. I don’t recommend the 1st floor at all - we weren’t there, but in fact the numbers on the 1st floor look like 0, because dug into the ground, they write that it is damp there.
Animation: we didn’t see it at all, except for concerts in the evenings - it suited us personally - we don’t have small children, but I’ve seen good animation in hotels in my life, when both adults and children had fun, so the rating for animation is 1. Before The beach is driven by a bus - there are no problems with this - it runs often, they give out masks, but it’s not far on foot either. The alcohol in the lobby is decent (I love brut champagne) - everything suited us, the lobby is open around the clock. On the beach and in the dining room, the wine is worse. I didn’t write “dining room” for nothing, because. food quality is disgusting. I'll tell you that there is everything, but it's all DELICIOUS. It seems to me that the owner of the hotel needs to pay special attention to this, the amount of food thrown out goes off scale. There were also shrimp and crabs, but guys, this is only good for bright photos - it's not edible at all. Vegetables are tasteless. For some reason, the red fish was fried and it became dry. Perhaps it is beneficial for the owner to work in the trash. As our tour operator said, food is an indicator of the star rating of a hotel. But this hotel has a big problem with good quality food. Of course, if you like french fries and spaghetti, then here it is served three times a day in unlimited quantities.
A separate topic is excursions from the Anex tour. This is generally such a @balovo. We bought Pamukalle, paid $200 for 3 people, and also bought Cleopatra's pool separately from the guide at a price of $13 per person - Anex-tour infolist price is $10 per person. For information: at the box office on the spot, tickets can be bought for $ 5 per person and Pomukalle itself is worth it if you buy it at the box office, in my opinion, for $ 7 per person - you just need to get there yourself, because apart from the photos you will not receive any interesting information from this excursion, you will be taken all day to some shopping centers, where you will be offered Turkish wine at $ 80 per bottle (we decided that we are not so rich and will be content with proseco for 10 euros) and Turkish towels at an exorbitant price , and you will spend almost a day on this trip, about which no one will warn you.
Anex-tour also offered a free trip from the hotel to shopping. We went to the leather and fur center, where I wanted to buy a leather jacket. We arrived at a shopping center with an assortment of "hello from the 90s for women of Balzac age. " Some jackets with fluff and feathers, I was generally scared, because. I have not seen such a g... vna in large numbers for a long time. After a short conversation with the manager, I was shown an assortment of leather jackets. I tried on something, I can’t say that I really liked something in particular, we approached the conversation about the price and TAAAAAAM: only today and only now they were ready to sell me this jacket for only $ 450. I just don’t know, it seems that we looked like intelligent people, but when I said that in Kyiv at a sale I would buy one at a sale for $ 200, they started telling me something about super quality, when it didn’t affect us , the price was brought down to $ 390, and when this did not work, the seller began to get frankly angry, and the Anex-tour manager was clearly interested in my purchase, because. this girl also sincerely wondered how I could refuse such a "profitable" purchase. In general, as usual, I do not recommend the Anex tour.

10 years in the travel industry. Probably it is not necessary to say that I have seen more than enough hotels. Usually I share information about hotels with my tourists, but in this case I cannot help but write my review here and share it with others.
We arrived at the hotel at 10 am, settled at 14:15 (they said the room was still busy). Although, how to evict from the hotel all MOT masters pick up early, how to settle - everything is busy. Well, okay, you can't prove it. We had a family vacation with two adult children. The hotel immediately captivates with views. The room was in the main building -Corner Suite. Stained glass windows overlooking the sea and the mountains with a swimming pool. The bungalows cascade down from the central building and can be reached by elevator (two levels), but you still have to walk up the stairs. Therefore, the hotel is not for people with problem joints. To the sea - the same thing, although there is a bus to the elevator, but the steps cannot be avoided. Conclusion - a hotel for the young.
The beach is not impressive. The narrow coastline is packed with tourists. From one of the pontoons there is no entrance to the sea. You need to return to the coastline to go down - inconvenient. There weren't enough sun loungers for dinner. And it's out of season. There is no animation at all! During the day, food and a sunbed are your friends. We walked to the water park, there is peace and quiet, a few people are slowly rafting on inflatable circles, the pressure of the water does not allow you to actively swim all the way. Therefore, tourists flounder in the water, somehow trying to move.
The food in the hotel is not varied. Very modest. They put the same thing in different places to create a picture of diversity. Fresh was not. Cocktails - "yupi". In the evenings from 21:00 to 00:00 live music is played every day. At first we were delighted. But then, as it turned out, this is every day. It hammers so that you won't fall asleep in the central building. I had to order earplugs, but they did not save. On the last day they sent speakers directly to the rooms, turned on the spotlights, which pierced through the thick curtains. In general, the headache was provided before the flight home. It was trash!! ! The window glass resonated, there was a constant hum from the subwoofer. And this is for 50 people gathered around the stage. And what about the rest of the thousand? Then for about an hour or two this crowd of people charged with night club music is looking for adventure. When everything seems to have calmed down, you begin to have the hope of falling asleep by two in the morning. But no, the canteen starts to work, carts drive, people say. I don't know who the hotel is for. Obviously not for older adults (many steps), not for families with children (night trash) and not for young people (there is no entertainment for them during the day).

On the last day they sent speakers directly to the rooms, turned on the spotlights, which pierced through the thick curtains. In general, the headache was provided before the flight home. It was trash!! ! The window glass resonated, there was a constant hum from the subwoofer. And this is for 50 people gathered around the stage. And what about the rest of the thousand? Then for about an hour or two this crowd of people charged with night club music is looking for adventure. When everything seems to have calmed down, you begin to have the hope of falling asleep by two in the morning. But no, the canteen starts to work, carts drive, people say. I don't know who the hotel is for. Obviously not for older adults (many steps), not for families with children (night trash) and not for young people (there is no entertainment for them during the day).

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

I haven't chartered with a tour operator in Turkey for many years. And I already forgot how crazy it is. So brazenly and unpleasantly, in no other country in the world do they belong to tourist groups. Everywhere everything is saturated with the fact that the Kemer-Antalya-Alanya region is focused on Russians.

I haven't chartered with a tour operator in Turkey for many years. And I already forgot how crazy it is. So brazenly and unpleasantly, in no other country in the world do they belong to tourist groups. Everywhere everything is saturated with the fact that the Kemer-Antalya-Alanya region is focused on Russians. That is low quality and incredibly high prices. Three weeks before Turkey spent two weeks in Italy. So in Italy everything is much cheaper, better, and I am silent about the human component. But when the Turks find out that you are not Russian, the attitude changes for the better, but unfortunately not many of them know English.
I traveled to the sights of Alanya and the surrounding area without tour operators and got great pleasure in communicating with ordinary people in the suburbs, at the university, in mountain villages. I even hitchhiked. Great people! And all the negativity that happens there - it is only due to the Russians... there will be even more about them... nevertheless, a review about the hotel.
Well, everything, as I said, begins with the guide on the bus, which carries nonsense and lies in many matters (again, everything is designed for Russians). Then the reception of the Utopia World hotel. They are prickly like hedgehogs. I don’t remember such an attitude at the reception at the hotel. They don't speak English either. The manager is constantly called to translate. But by the end of the holiday, the relationship with the reception improved and they became softer and fluffier))) The staff in the bars, by the pools, on the beach and in the restaurant is very friendly and pleasant. All mostly young boys and girls are whiter or less able to understand English.
As for drinks, I don't understand what the people who wrote the comments had to complain about. . . Jim Beam, Havana Club, Captain Morgan, etc. no questions asked, no problems and no limits. Although when a drunken Russian comes up and starts swearing at the staff, they quickly pour him some kind of vodka with the look of “get out of here faster. ” And I understand them, because drunks also pestered several times. So they still come to the hotel in a semi-conscious state. And this is their familiarity, lack of culture and, again, swearing... well, this is trash... and everyone still has a golden cross or an icon (think about it, an icon! ) The size of Armenia’s gold reserve on their belly... Again, I digressed from the hotel.
Settled in a room with a sea view on the 5th floor. The view is beautiful. Number... well, this is normal. Although those who have been in real 5-star hotels in Europe, the USA, South Korea will understand that they are not in Turkey or Egypt, or they cost space money (again, overpriced). Out of season, probably worth the money. In the season, as I understand it, the price is 2-3 times higher and then the price is too high in my opinion. The mini-bar was replenished and cleaned every day in the room. Removed by four points. Restaurant. Well desserts and snacks I couldn't eat. I didn't understand this at all. Again digression from the topic. Very often like to compare Egypt and Turkey. And usually not in favor of Egypt. Here I disagree. I travel to Egypt regularly, a lot and for a long time. In Egypt, over the years that the Russians stopped traveling, service, culture and quality have grown significantly. In all the latest hotels in Sharm, the service was better and the food tasted better. I had completely forgotten how it felt to go to a bar myself. Usually it's just a raised hand and the hotel employee brings you what you want.
Let's go back to the Utopia hotel. As I said alcohol is good, but no cocktails are made. It’s better to mix it yourself separately))) In the restaurant, cheeses and sausages are inedible (although the Russians liked the food, they even ran around taking pictures). Here you do not need a bunch of types of sausage or cheese. Better 2-3, but high quality. This trip to Italy confirmed my regular visits to Odessa. But the meat dishes in the restaurant were not bad, the fish too. The sea restaurant is very tasty, wonderful and with good service (again, if you don’t notice three Russians drunk on vodka at the next table, sometimes you don’t want to understand what they are saying... ). In the central restaurant, despite the inscriptions and pictures, Russians in swimming trunks, T-shirts, flip flops... One ran with a spoon and tried soup from each pot with this spoon... How ? ! How is that possible? ! Okay.
Enjoyed walking around in the evenings. The beach is small. But we also went to the neighboring settlements to the beaches and to the Cleopatra beach (although nothing special there, but for the sake of show you can). We did not go to a meeting with the guide and never go. They can't do anything to you. Don't be afraid, no one in the hotel will forget you. There were quite a lot of Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Kazakhs, Poles in the hotel (it was not completely packed with Russians, it was just that they were constantly noticeable). I forgot about the internet. In the central building and on the beach, it works well and you can connect an unlimited number of devices.
I will return to Turkey, maybe even once to this hotel, but definitely not by charter.
