Hotel-four!
Description of the hotel: from Antalya airport to the hotel 130 km, i. e. go by bus 3-3.5 hours (1 stop to the toilet, and at the same time, an advertisement for a store). The hotel is located in the village of Mahmutlar (5 stores in one direction, five in the other. ), there are no clubs there. But, that's a different story! The owner of the hotel is a Turk (Big Man is his name there, he's actually just big). The 2nd half of the hotel is under construction and is curtained with a black canvas. When we left, one of the staff said that the 5th star had already been attached to the 2nd half. And the season was extended right up to November 5 this year! The hotel was full in September. 90% of vacationers are Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Poles (in general, Slavs), there are very few Germans, and local families also have a rest.
The hotel is located on the 1st lane, along the road and the sea coast. There is an underground passage to the beach.

The beach is a big minus of the hotel !! ! The beach is pebbly, there is NO entry into the sea !! ! Lovers of swimming, I would not recommend this hotel.
I advise you to go into the sea, I advise you to wear special shoes and very carefully, there are boulders and stones everywhere. The sea is not calm, constantly waves that increase their power near the coast. if you still manage to sail away from the coast, then you can swim well. This can be done from the pier located next to the beach, BUT... it belongs to another hotel. Accordingly, strangers are driven from there. One hope is to smile beautifully at the Turks responsible for guarding the pier so that they let them through. There is another solution for waterfowl - there is a paddling pool carved into the sea 10-15m from the pier. You can quite well jump on the waves there, like on water aerobics. Another 1 minus - there are usually a lot of people in the paddling pool. In the evening, the local population is pulled up to the beach of the hotel by families with their umbrellas. and lay down on the last sunbed. It would be nice if he just lay there, but he began to yell and what the world is worth scolding America, Tom Cruise and vacationers. He screamed for an hour and the staff on the beach could not calm him down until they thought of bringing a female security guard from the hotel itself, which nevertheless persuaded him to leave the territory of the beach. Yes, by the way, sunbeds, umbrellas and mattresses on the beach are available in the required quantity. Towels are free. $ 10 for 10 days. P they eat cakes, which then appear on the dinner menu.
The hotel has 2 swimming pools; 1 large, 2 small, for children. The pool is normal, there are enough sunbeds, the pool bar works. There is a water slide.
There is not much vegetation throughout the hotel. Yes, and the territory itself is small. I liked the large hotel lobby with a small fountain when we arrived and the friendly staff at the reception.

Dear ladies! There is a chief manager at the reception - Sasha, who persistently calls the girls' room and invites them to a disco in Alanya. If you do not agree, he dials the next number! It's up to you to agree or not! .
Animation: it is simply not there !! ! Everyone has fun as he can (who beats his face with drunken eyes by the pool). Animators appear in the evening at dinner, when they need to gather people and money for a disco in Alanya clubs ($ 8). disco every evening until three in the morning. Praise the Hollywood club!
Bath-hammam: it’s better to sign up with Roma in a local bath, anyway, every single day he will come up to you and ask “when to go to the bath? ” We went from Pegas-tourist to the city bath “Sultan”. not delighted! The only thing is that you can take beautiful pictures there, but they wash it disgustingly. After us there was a group of Germans, 15 people, so we were driven out in front of them in 10 minutes. There are so many people in the Sultana that the staff simply cannot physically wash everyone properly!
Meals: for breakfast - scrambled eggs or fried eggs, boiled eggs and buns; for dinner - chicken fried, boiled, stewed, etc. Fruits: apples, plums, grapes, oranges were given 1 time. Baking a small assortment, but quite enough for tea to drink. One thing that bothered me at dinner was the regular queues for food, even at seven in the evening, even at 18.30, it was useless. fast service (the chef distributes the meat himself).
Shops: the choice in the village is not very large. There is an option to take a dolmus to Alanya for $ 2. A market is open on Saturdays. On foot 3 km from the hotel, it is better to ride a dolmus - $ 1. We were told that you will reach the clock, there is nearby! Nothing like that, from the clock still in the heat of 1 km, you definitely need to chirp, and then you turn left, there are no signs, so you need to ask the locals where to turn.

Communication: as always, three ways - mobile, local SIM card and card. I am for a card - the cheapest way to local communication (50 units - $ 3.100 units is about half an hour of conversation with Russia $ 6). When you are being driven from the airport and make a stop at the store, where the card costs $ 10. It's not worth buying!
I hope that my review will help you make the right choice of hotel for a good rest in your understanding!! !
