I chose according to reviews, in 2017 the hotel was reconstructed, feel free to discard all old reviews about bad rooms. The hotel has two buildings. Both are good, overhauled.
1. Rooms are clean, new, maybe cramped. Vacationers, of course, break something slowly, but everything is fixed. We had two beds in the room, double + single.
2. Daily cleaning, change of towels too. Beach towel for a small deposit if you don't have your own.
3. The safe is free, only the management is blunt, a new password is set every time the safe is closed.
4. Excellent clean shower, spacious, watering can on the hose and ceiling, toilet with bidet.
5. There are problems with the split system, tolerable, but need to be fixed. The outdoor unit with a radiator-condenser is dirty, which leads to a long "reheating" of the cooling mode. And given that the electricity is tied to the access card (the room is de-energized if you leave, except for the refrigerator), then every time you come from the street, you have to wait a while for good cooling. The air conditioner is tied to the balcony door, the door is open - the air conditioner does not work.
6. Poor sound insulation is the scourge of all hotels. Doors with closers to the rooms decently slam.
7. Someone wrote about the mosque nearby, they call for prayer at 5 in the morning, you can hear more in the side rooms than in those overlooking the sea, the doors to the balcony pass sounds well.
8. I think one of the main advantages of the hotel is the staff. Super friendly, super welcoming, super hard working.
9. Few Russians, many Turks and all sorts of foreigners, mostly Germans, as it seemed to me. The age of visitors is young. Lots of couples, few kids. (Do not take children there, they have nothing to do there: the beach is not suitable for children, there is no entertainment for them, they will interfere with others).
10. In Russian, only one girl at the reception speaks well, but she is not always there, the rest speak English.
11. The territory of the hotel is very well-groomed, it is cozy everywhere, sunbeds and umbrellas are free, there are few people. There is a pool with sun loungers, but you have to borrow early, and the pool itself is small.
12. The beach in August 2018 was not very good. In the photo everywhere it is excellent, but the sea washed away the sand, stone slabs were exposed. If the sea is worried, then without special. slippers you will not enter, bunches of mollusks are attached to the plates, similar to open pistachios sticking up. You can step on top, but if you slip with your foot, then the cut is guaranteed (and there are always waves). Even part of the city beach was washed away, and almost no one swims there. There are good places to enter, a little more than a kilometer to go to them, the eastern side of Cleopatra. There will be paid sunbeds and umbrellas, crowds of tourists. There is a large concentration of hotels on that side.
13. Food is good. The hotel is small, maybe someone will not have enough variety, especially for breakfast. For lunch and dinner there is always something cooked on the coals, meat or fish, there is a sea mix with shrimp and squid, but rarely. I have a weak stomach, but I have never had problems with digestion. In this regard, everything is fine. Sanitation is also excellent, everything is washed well, there is always someone from the staff looking after the buffet. Dropped food, immediately removed, dropped cutlery for laying, immediately replaced with clean ones.
14. Animation a couple of times a week. For 11 days, we hit it 4 times, but frankly weakly.
15. Far from Antalya airport.

The hotel was chosen because it had a promotional discount and the travel agency showed good reviews for this hotel. Check-in immediately upon arrival. I liked the territory, beautifully landscaped. Very beautiful ficus trees that provide comfortable shade and comfortable chairs under them. Conveniently, the hotel is right on the beach.

I liked the territory, beautifully landscaped. Very beautiful ficus trees that provide comfortable shade and comfortable chairs under them. Conveniently, the hotel is right on the beach.
I didn’t like the room at all, it clearly needs repair, especially the bathroom and furniture, the unpleasant smell of musty dampness. Very stuffy, and the air conditioner is too strong, it blows through everything.
In the diet, I liked watermelon and cherries (to the dump), baklava and salty shortbread rings for lunch. I did not like the local drinks (cola, fanta, sprite) - a completely different unnatural taste, peppered soups, hot nuggets.

I stayed with a friend in this hotel in October 2013. We were given a great room with a view of the sea and the pool. The staff is very helpful - they didn’t drag things themselves, but they delivered them directly to our room. The hotel has a very steep staircase and we, two fragile girls, would hardly have mastered it with things.

The hotel has a very steep staircase and we, two fragile girls, would hardly have mastered it with things.
The hotel is cozy, quiet and clean. Back in Moscow, the manager praised it so much that we became interested and opted for this particular hotel. Not a bit sorry! The territory is interesting, very beautiful ficuses and cool flowers. There is a small pool, but it seemed to us not well-groomed, so we didn’t swim in it, we went to the sea. The hotel beach is small and the entry into the sea is not very convenient, there are stones, so you won’t be able to walk carelessly on the sand. A couple of times we lay down on this beach and began to walk to another, further away, to the left of our beach. The sea is very cool - clean, warm and gentle. The rooms are good. A little dead plumbing and the toilet was leaking. The frames on the windows are old, wooden. The balcony door stuck with us, so we did not close the windows at all and slept with them open. We did not have any insects, and thank God, we are very afraid of them. Cleaned not very regularly, but towels always brought clean. The staff is nice, but they like to mess around and pass their work on to someone else.
In general, I liked the rest and the hotel too. A lot of bad things have been read about him, but everything is relative. The main thing is a positive attitude and relaxation will succeed!

The hotel is for those who want to relax. The rooms are not new, but they meet all the requirements. The food is good, a lot of greens and fruits. The staff is very friendly, but the location of the hotel and the sea are beyond praise [not all five-star hotels can boast of this] I recommend it to everyone for whom a quiet and relaxing holiday is more expensive than chic and show-off.

Hello everyone who is actively looking for a hotel, I will try my review to somehow help you in this difficult matter. I usually write long reviews, so who is too lazy to read the whole point at the beginning and all the details below. The hotel with the strange name Gorgulyu (this is the last name of the hotel owner, by the way) is located at the beginning of the city of Alanya.

Hello everyone who is actively looking for a hotel, I will try my review to somehow help you in this difficult matter. I usually write long reviews, so who is too lazy to read the whole point at the beginning and all the details below.
The hotel with the strange name Gorgulyu (this is the last name of the hotel owner, by the way) is located at the beginning of the city of Alanya. If you leave the hotel on the left, there are several hotels and the highway to Side, on the right is the road towards Alanya and all the infrastructure itself. The hotel area can be described as follows: road, stairs down, two buildings, reception, stairs down, swimming pool, restaurant, terrace, bar, playground, stairs down, 10 meters and the sea. Everything! You will definitely have nowhere to walk, if you count on it, only outside the territory. There is also no animation by the way. Once a week national show. Near the hotel there is a children's amusement park (3 liras per attraction), embankment, migros (supermarket) about 500 meters from the hotel, a shop with groceries, alcohol, toys, souvenirs, fruits (30 meters from the hotel to the right and down the stairs). Bus stop 20 meters to the right of the hotel. The payphone is there. The number of rooms is old. There is air conditioning and a hairdryer, a refrigerator and TV (there are Russian channels 1 and RTR planet). Food without frills. All inclusive system: 5 meals a day + alcohol and UPI with fanta and cola. Well, tea and coffee anytime. The sea is clean, next to the hotel, the entrance is not very good. Shoes are desirable. Sunbeds are paid 1 euro.
Now more. The hotel itself is not bad, cozy, surrounded by greenery and shade from two large ficuses. Two hulls. The first floors are occupied by a restaurant, a hammam ($25), and a reception. Rooms with sea view and side sea view. Someone pays extra for a sea view of 10-20 euros, they gave us themselves without any additional payments and requests. The sound of the sea in the room can be heard quite strongly. The sun shines through the window all day, it's hot in the room. But things dry instantly (there is a dryer on the balcony). The side rooms are not so hot, all day in the shade, but there are stairs under the window. On the other side of the road. Here, choose for yourself. Inside the room everything is old and simple. The interior does not pull more than 3 *, do not expect a miracle. It is problematic to decompose things - a wardrobe without shelves, only hangers. A bathroom with a shower cubicle and a shower built into the wall. There are no shampoos or gels. Hand soap and then through time. For that they clean every day and clean enough. Towels and bedding are changed frequently. There is a table and chairs on the balcony. Drinks are not allowed in the room. But no one makes any comments, so you can drink a couple of glasses of beer to the sound of the waves not only in the bar but also in the room. We did not drink alcohol, according to vacationers, it is not bad. But, despite this, we preferred to buy vodka a couple of times in a large supermarket.
Nutrition. God, how many reviews are devoted to this part of the hotel life. So here food is nowhere easier. Various vegetables (normally boiled and fried), meat, chicken or fish in the evening, very tasty fruits (always fresh and sweet. Apples, grapes, watermelon, melons. ) There is no choice of desserts. Only puddings of all colors and shades. Sometimes sliced fruit with cream from a can. European-style breakfasts (one-time portions of cheese, butter, jams, breakfast cereals, milk and sliced cheese, meat-and-vegetable sausages, olives, suluguni, chechil. Well, scrambled eggs. ) Soy cutlets for lunch. My friend said this: I keep posts and I am fine with soy products, her husband added the main thing is that they are well cooked. So here they are cooked well, with vegetables, gravy, cheese, etc. But still soy. In the evening, between lunch and dinner, tea with pastries (biscuits, tortillas with cheese and shortbread with coconut), speaking of tortillas... There is a grandmother who bakes real Turkish tortillas with cheese and herbs and with pumpkin, onion and paprika. You can pour cool ayran next to it. Delicious either way. Grandmother is harsh, because the work is not easy and in the heat. She gets a little joy from tips placed in her personal "type box" money box. Do not be greedy, and please the old woman more often with green bills. And in general, do not be greedy for a tip, the staff here works conscientiously.
Sea. The sea here is clean, the beach is small, clean, sandy bulk, but don’t let it confuse you, it’s difficult to enter the water because of the waves and stones. Stones of different sizes make it difficult to enter the sea (for example, with a child in her arms). Coral slippers and just rubber flip flops will solve all problems. Do not be too lazy to take a mask with you, there are crabs among the stones, there are not bright fish, of course, like in tropical seas, but quite a lot. Our grandmother was lucky to see a half-meter sea turtle not far from the shore. Why the turtle swam here is incomprehensible, but the impressions and grandmother were through the roof. At first, of course, fear, then complete delight. The story of the beds. There are sunbeds by the pool (free of charge) without mattresses and near the sea (paid 1 euro per person) with a mattress. So, the sea is separated from the pool by one ladder down and 10 meters. At first I did not understand the scheme, but on the third day I realized. People take sun loungers by the pool and calmly sunbathe and go swimming in the sea. Usually by 7 am the seats are all taken. I don't know what time to get up, but at 6.45 the choice is not great. We had two children and I tried to take places near the children's pool to keep an eye on the little things. Not always successful by the way... Near the sea the situation is simpler, but by 11 and there it is problematic with places, there are definitely no places near the entrance to the beach. Although there seems to be enough space for everyone, just get up early.
The hotel has internet. Of course, for a fee, 10 euros for two weeks of Wi-Fi or $ 3 per hour for a computer near the reception. To be honest, the Internet is slow and the wireless network works through time. Since we are with children, then with a laptop (cartoons are there). I immediately paid for Wi-Fi, it takes everywhere, but a few days later our network (the one that I took in the room) fell to the death of the brave and I had to go to the terrace and to the reception for a working Internet. These are the pies… And it was so nice to sit on the balcony and chat with a friend on Skype while the children sleep during the day (without video, of course, the speeds are not the same…) but still nice. By the way, the Internet helped us out here more than once when the children got sick. I found analogues of our medicines, because Turkish names are very different from ours and international ones. A Turkish doctor, on any call, prescribes antibiotics to everyone indiscriminately and asks to visit him in 3 days. Naturally, no matter what hurts, your ear, throat or eye will all go away in one fell swoop. But when children are 2 years old, they don’t really want such treatment. We took a huge first aid kit with us, but we still had to buy something. Keep this in mind. Read your insurance policy carefully at the travel agent's office, pay attention to the deductible and whether insurance covers phone calls and other nuances. Sometimes this is important, especially if you are with children. Sunstroke and drunk injuries are usually not covered by insurance.
So, what I haven’t told you about yet, It’s not worth changing money. All of Turkey switched from the dollar to the euro a long time ago, but they take dollars with no less willingness. Exchange 10 bucks for lira to pay for a bus to the city. Leave the rest as is. The bus costs 1.25 lira, which is about 25 rubles, even less. A taxi costs about 15 to 30 dollars, depending on where you go. There is a bus stop next to the hotel (called Dinek), bus number 1 goes straight to the center. You can get to the bank, exchange offices, pharmacies and shops without any problems. Buses run frequently. Remember that the prices for all goods in the center are overpriced by at least 5 times or even more. Bargain gentlemen, that's the way it is here. I want to remind you that on Saturday and Sunday in Turkey, banks, pharmacies, doctors also have a rest. Look like that's it. As a summary, I will say that the hotel is not bad. The contingent of vacationers (there are few Russians, there are practically no Ukraine and Belarus) are Lithuanians, Germans, Poles, Czechs, Turks (the owner's family lives on the territory of the hotel in the photo (where the general view of the beach is visible on the left, the third building is the owner's house. ) Drunk I didn't see it at all. Clean, but modest. Although the marble stairs speak of a wide scope during construction. Good luck with your choice! If you have already bought this hotel, feel free to pack on the road and don’t think about anything other than rest. Have a good trip!
P. S. When we were taken away from the hotel, they gave us a very lousy lunch box (a whole tomato, the same cucumber, two slices of bread, three olives, butter and jam. Well, yupi juice in a pack and a fork) by God, it would be better if they gave a bottle of clean water! And vegetables could be cut at least in a couple of large pieces, it was not convenient to have breakfast on the bus. Even more so with children. But, when we took a ride picking up the rest of the tourists at the hotels, I realized one thing that our hotel has an 5+ location! If I am going to Alanya, I will consider it as an option. Next to it are the MUZ and HAVANA beach hotels, well, it’s so... for the curious.

Next to it are the MUZ and HAVANA beach hotels, well, it’s so... for the curious.

We stayed at this hotel in August 2010. Very quiet but comfortable hotel for a leisurely pastime. Most of the hotel guests are from Western Europe and the Baltic States. We were two from Ukraine and 2 more people from Belarus. Perhaps due to the absence of our compatriots, there were no queues and crowds anywhere, neither in the restaurant, nor near the bars, nor on the beach for sunbeds.

We were two from Ukraine and 2 more people from Belarus. Perhaps due to the absence of our compatriots, there were no queues and crowds anywhere, neither in the restaurant, nor near the bars, nor on the beach for sunbeds. A very big plus is the hotel's own beach, the so-called famous Cleopatra beach with an ideal sandy entrance to the sea (a rarity for Turkish beaches). Sunbeds on the beach are paid - $ 1.5 per person per day, near the pool for free. I will make a reservation that the residents of other hotels rested on the city beach across the road for 5 euros per day. Good hammam, high-quality massage, thanks to the masseur Barysh, he really treated his back professionally. In the terrible heat, two huge 38-year-old ficuses were rescued on the terrace, in the shade of which they spent the afternoon. There is no animation as such. Only on Saturday evening show (oriental and folk dances, ) then a disco on the terrace. Since the area is small, the music was heard on the beach, and that's where the action moved))). On Thursday, a show of leather goods and oriental dances. The rest of the time, entertain yourself as you like. The hotel is a 10-minute drive from the center of Alanya (sometimes we walked on foot), so in the evening you can easily get to the port and the embankment for $ 1 on dolmush, where all the discos are located and life is in full swing until the morning. With all my desire, I can not find any cons))). The hotel is certainly not 4 stars in terms of the condition of the rooms, but absolutely beautiful in terms of location and atmosphere. 20 days after the trip, it turned out that we were able to afford a vacation again, and guess where we arrived?....)))) In September, Gorgula is even better, there are fewer people and the velvet season does its job)). Who wants to forget about the noise of the metropolis and completely relax - Welcome to Gorgulu! ))) Good luck to everyone!

True, they speak very little Russian, but they always greet you warmly. located near the center if you go on foot, then a maximum of 30-40 minutes along the promenade. incendiary clubs. it is better to exchange currency for local money, since in clubs bars the rate is undervalued, they know that there is nowhere to change it at night. on the way to the center at 300m there is a large super market where you can buy everything. the first necessary, the same sweets, right in front of him, the tour desk seems to be Victor introducing himself, but what his name is, in fact, we don’t know, we agreed on excursions with him, but he turned out to be cunning, at first he told us everything in dollars, but how to issue a ticket, then in euro he tells us in general and so on didn’t like it, they got up and left and didn’t regret it later they found out that he had a service lousy went from the hotel from him a yacht overflowing in pamukkale the guide just barely spoke Russian. we walked 100 meters further ahead and also a tour company in general, these tour companies are there on every corner, but we stopped at Jamal, I don’t remember what the name of his travel agency is, but following after the migration at 100m. the guy is just a cutie, he told us everything what and how he remembered the currency at the bank rate and ordered all the excursions. deal with him and his service is really excellent. he speaks Russian very well, he gave us a map of the city as a gift, he drew everything where to go, how to climb the fortress. and it's just nice to talk to him. and so the first thing I want to express to Jamal is a huge thank you for such a superb experience))) we were at the big woman, it’s incredibly awesome I advise everyone to a single one, super duper)))) then the Turkish bath, well, I think most of you are also familiar, it’s great relaxation00)) ) you can get high)) then the water park is also super impressive, though it was terribly annoying to stand in lines even when with these inflatable toilets under the ass (((and so super))) but for me the water park seemed a little bonal, it would be better to go to the big woman, and there everyone decides for himself, then of course it was impossible to miss the safari excursion amazing, beauty, nature of crazy charm, that’s for sure, I also advise you to be completely delighted, especially pouring water that starts from the very beginning of the trip and very unexpectedly, get ready !!! __))) hehehe. . . and especially at the end, the restaurant on the mountain river was very striking, beautiful))) the choice is yours, good luck to everyone. . . all excursions are amazing thanks again)). go relax and have fun. hello to him I think he will remember us for a long time dima alexey snezhana oksana from moscow

We stayed at this hotel from June 2nd to 13th. Pros - Very cozy, excellent food, chef, staff are very good!!! ! The pool is small, but in June, there were few people and there was no one in it except us) The sea, wonderful, warm, the entrance is excellent !! ! On the beach there are sun loungers, mattresses, umbrellas, for 1 euro for the whole day! The biggest plus! And this is not everywhere - when we checked out the room, after 12, we were fed, and you could take drinks, before the transfer arrived for us !!! Cons - who wants entertainment, there are few of them, there are 2 animations a week, but we went to the city for a disco! It didn’t bother us! In general, the hotel is wonderful! We miss you!.
