Бюджетный отдых Budget vacation

Anyone traveling with very young children may not want to read this review. the hotel is not suitable for them, primarily because of the sea and a very long transfer from Antalya. Good day to everyone else! We rested at the hotel with a friend from 27.05 to 10.06. 2019. The hotel in general is not bad for a budget holiday, it all depends on how much you paid for it. We paid 27.000 hryvnia for two for a standard for 14 nights (Russians multiply by 2 to convert to rubles) and we were satisfied with the rest for this amount, but there are some nuances that you should be prepared for when choosing this hotel. So first things first:
General information. The hotel is very, very far from Antalya and also far from the center of Alanya and Cleopatra beach. This is the outskirts of Mahmutlar and the last point of the Alanya region. From Antalya airport we drove 5 hours, because. traveled during a period of heavy traffic in the morning. We were more fortunate back: 3 hours, but the hotel is still taken out in 5 hours. Be careful as the hotel has a very confusing name and it is written differently in different vouchers, so the bus drivers are still circling around Mahmutlar in search of this hotel. To local people and drivers of local buses, he is known by the simple name ALPINA.
Accommodation and rooms: Greeted warmly. At the reception, Valentina immediately offered us lunch, and Natasha helped connect the Wi-Fi settings on the phone (by the way, it worked well and for free in the lobby). Both rooms that we looked at were small but very clean after renovation with simple but new furniture, everything was in order everywhere. The beds in both rooms were with sloppy mattresses and Soviet TVs. We took room 3310. It is a quiet room overlooking the courtyard with a huge palm tree covering the windows opposite, which is very convenient. We slept with the door to the balcony open. Mosquitoes, flies and other insects in the hotel and in the village NO. The village itself is very clean with good transport links.

Cleaning is very high quality without the slightest remark. Bed linen and towels were changed very often. Everything was clean and white.
Food without frills, but the chefs cooked very, very tasty. There was always meat and not only chicken, various side dishes, vegetables, cheeses, two types of soups. Their soups are especially delicious, pastries (I'm not very fond of), fruits, I ate watermelons and oranges. Delicious ice cream every night. After lunch, pizza and biscuits outside the hotel and tortillas on the beach. I didn't like the cakes.
Sea and beach: The sea does not enter or exit. Almost always with high waves. It is necessary to have a pillow for swimming, it is also desirable to have shoes for swimming. The bottom is all in large stones, called slabs. The beach strip is long, but you can enter the sea only in a small cut zone, and even then with difficulty. That's where everyone hangs out. The beach itself is well maintained. There were enough sun beds for everyone, although they resembled beds with sagging nets. The sun umbrellas are small and it is unlikely that the two of you can sit under them, but you can find a shadow on the beach. There is a bar with cold drinks, as well as tea and coffee. Access to the beach through the underpass (short). In the passage there is a wonderful SPA center, which was always a pleasure to visit. Friendly and qualified employees of the SPA are always ready to answer any questions of tourists and provide traditional services of the complex (sauna and entrance to the hammam are free).
The animation is very, very weak and consists of two girls and two Turkish guys who frankly hate the Slavs and do not even try to hide it. The girls Katya and Masha at least tried to do something. Katya showed a fire show and walked on glass: it looked so that I wanted to give $ 5 and tell her not to do it (on the second day, Katya was limping). At the end of the second week of rest, I realized that Masha is a children's animator. they were never invited anywhere, except that from morning to evening men were yelling about a trip to a disco in Alanya for $ 10, thereby emphasizing that there was nothing to do in the hotel. Orhan, a specialist in girls, would work well if vacationers did not interfere with him. And so that he would not be distracted, he first sent to . . x . . in Russian, but when his supply of mats dried up, he diluted it with Turkish (fortunately, I don’t know Turkish). Sometimes there was darts on the beach, bochos were never taken out. The chief of animators, reminiscent of Winnie the Pooh, always stood first at the soup and ate so much that it was hard for him to talk, let alone dance the club dance!

Tours were taken on the street. I really enjoyed the jeep safari. Yachting did not impress me. If you rode in Kemer, then there is a miserable likeness here. Both tours are $15. Cleopatra Beach and the fortress in Alanya visited on their own.
Shopping Outbound market Tuesday near, on foot; Saturday far in the center of Mahmutlar, drive by bus. It is better to visit the shopping center "Alanium". Prices for oriental sweets, etc. state fixed in lira. Ride the same green bus only further. The fare is 3 lira.
And in conclusion, I would like to thank those people whose work is less noticeable but also necessary: ​ ​ thanks to the hotel security guards who greeted us warmly and just as kindly saw us off.
