What was good:
The area is neat, close to ros, the rooms are cleaned regularly, the staff is nice, I liked the Hammam service, the pool is clean, the restaurant? the order is also OK, Friday and Saturday evening? s was pa? driven by grilled dishes. Mini bar in the room, water and juice were replenished regularly.
What did not like:
Room: -uncomfortably hard in bed? huh? man, think? lie down those
Food: Trying? go to lunch at different times, huh? Now the soup has been cold for 2 days in a row? s the same, she also stands? him and at dinner? s dish? . In the first days from elsewhere? vacationer? can you hear in us that there was a case of poisoning? , don't like it? it hasn't happened to them yet. It's hard to say what we poisoned, try to eat? m? s not much, but unfortunately. The food is similar every day except for weekend evenings. Fruit? was, huh? already d? l before? eater? banana of greed? and peach? tr? what, because they were loaded l? money Same situation with the morning bun? m, "who is first is more cunning". The hotel declares MEAL is Ultra everything? what's up iota, this type of meal means "UAI (Ultra All Inclusive) - "ultra everything? included? iota", "enhanced everything? iota? iota", it can be? i. e. free mini-bar in the room, free imported alcoholic beverages, longer bar working hours, but free alcoholic beverages were only local, cocktails from imported alcoholic beverages were for an additional fee. It wasn't either. Bars that serve cocktails don't have a menu, so everyone asks for what. The animation is weak compared to last year's visits to Turkey, but it's a matter of taste.

Have a good rest everyone.
There were no places on June 21, they settled for the night in the nearby Garden Hotel. All is well. Our soul is at peace. This is the initial experience we got. All liked it. No wonder we chose this hotel, watched the video, read the reviews. The service is good, at the reception they helped with any request. The room was cleaned well, the only thing under the beds was not washed, the child broke the glass and I moved the bed to collect fragments and there was dirt. They just wiped the surface and that's it. I didn’t like one more thing, but it depends on people, grubs were blown into the pool. And it all swam (( Otherwise, everything is fine, and the food, and the animation and the beach.
I was shocked by the disregard of the security service. In the evening, the phone was stolen, and when asked to look at the video, the registrars were told that the camera was not working. When checking in together, they give one key, the second for $ 5. Moreover, when you leave the room and take out the only key from the holder, everything stops working: sockets, air conditioning, TV, light... Alcohol is poison, acetone. I had to buy a normal one in the store. The pool water is tea. Two towels were stolen from the neighbors on the beach, they had to pay $ 40 for these two tattered rags when leaving. So, in general, think for yourself.
I read some reviews about the hotel and decided to write my own. If something is wrong - throw stones at me! )))
Settlement. We were all advised to take tickets with the expectation that we would be at the hotel as early as possible in order to "not lose a day", such as on the spot you can always agree with the staff on early check-in. Expectation and reality did not match. We were at the hotel at 9:30 am, we were checked in at 1:30 pm. The hotel is not offended, everything is according to the rules, they are not required to settle the people before. Even for $$$. We were with a child of 1.5 years old, we had to sit at the reception with him in our arms. Unpleasant. Despite the already late time, "off season", there were a lot of people, the famous tour operator "Tez Tour" sold more tours than there are rooms in the hotel, people came and some were settled with scandals in other hotels. We understood this - this is a common thing, in their words - everyone does it.
We paid 172K for 11 nights, !!! 172000r!! ! Of course, this can be considered from the outside - that we are suckers and sold it to us, but according to the tour operator, "sofa experts", paid reviews in VK - the hotel is just space ! ! We didn’t have time to choose, we decided to trust people - in vain. Let's be smarter. We were - 3 adults (me, wife, mother-in-law) and a child. We took ! ! two-room suite !! ! with separate rooms. But expectation and reality did not match. There are no such people in the hotel at all (as Elena from the reception confirmed to us). They said that all claims - to your agency, which took money from you. In essence, they are right.
Hotel Insula - 2 * - this is the edge, the level - the hotel "Don" in Voronezh. The difference is that there are no prostitutes on duty at the reception.
Our room - they call it a "family room", a room of 25 sq. m. , one large double bed, two-story bunk beds and a folding bed. We have a 1.5 year old child. They asked for a bed. The sufferer brought a dirty arena. He saw that we were indignant - and brought an old mattress into it, they said that the child should sleep in it. Reassured. May your children live and sleep like that!! ! And so that your children's children get this !! ! A day later they gave me a room with just 3 beds. To be honest, I did not expect that I would have to live in the same room with my mother-in-law. The view from the window was chicdos - on the road. Moreover, the road was not some village country road, along which a horse-drawn cart passes once an hour, it was an ordinary federal highway, with heavy round-the-clock movement of trucks. To the right, under the windows, were the garbage containers of the neighboring hotel. A little to the left is the treatment plant of our hotel. They decided not to turn on the air conditioner with a small child (although I turned it on - it worked, but did not cool, it was necessary to refuel it), they got used to the noise of the road for 11 days. There is nothing scary here.
Our room was cleaned several times in 11 days. If you don’t give $, then they simply won’t consider you a person, they probably think that we can clean up ourselves. Every time I had to remind about cleaning the room 2-3 times. A few more times to come up and ask for bottled water. With water, as I understand it, trouble. There are coolers in the hotel, but they are not bottled water at all, but ordinary water from a well. I drank. The child decided not to give. It is not known how often the filters are changed.
Food is not for everyone, for example, I don’t like the salad “yesterday’s pasta with mayonnaise”, of course you won’t stay hungry, but still - how can you feed people like that !! ! Like animals! ! How can you cook potatoes so that they are not tasty? To taste - like Rolton powder. There were very few fruits, mostly apples. Apples. Apples. Apples. Some watermelon. Apples. Grape. Apples. For fruit, we went to a nearby market. Local hucksters - they know from which hotel they constantly come to them for fruit)) Cakes... sweets - there were a lot of them, but for an amateur, some varieties were made from yesterday's bread. French fries are more or less edible with cheap ketchup - norms. Vegetables are cut like cattle, in large pieces. There was little meat. Mostly there was a chicken, and it felt like a chicken was dying a natural death. Sausages, sausage, ham with the taste of polyethylene.
For a child, there is nothing to eat at all. It's good that the child took porridge and mixture with them. But there was a blender in the dining room... the idea is certainly a good one, but if it were something to cook on it, it would be much better.
Alcohol - I associate it with non-freezing, when out of hopelessness you take the Kirghiz on the Moscow Ring Road, sprinkle it on the glass and it hurts your eyes - that's the same alcohol in a hotel, well, it's possible for an amateur.
All got sick. They vomited, the bottom vomited... Then they finished their treatment at home. It's good that the wife took a whole suitcase of medicines. I'm not saying that the hotel is to blame - no, they could get sick and pick up some kind of infection anywhere, so it probably coincided (((Of course, this slightly overshadowed our stay at sea.
Beach - sand, as requested, but such sand with stones, on which it is not pleasant to walk barefoot. In the sea, entry is generally disgusting. There are few sunbeds if you are a Jew and got up at 6, went to the beach and put your towel on a free sunbed - handsome! ! Those who get up a little later - without a sunbed.
WiFi is only available at the reception. It is not in the rooms. Not at all.
Now for the good:
1. Animation is really good. Guys are great. The hotel rests on you alone, you pull it out a little.
2. Pastries, buns, muffins are delicious.
3. Waiters - well done, the guys tried.
4. Daria from the reception kindly and promptly provided an electric kettle free of charge.
5. A teapot from a teapot is normal.
6. The sea is clean. The weather was very good.
7. Nobody says that there is a big shopping center nearby. Colins, LS wakiki, some other chain stores - you can buy clothes at a profit. Good quality shirts 400-800? , jeans 400-600? . I recommend to go. On the market - aliexpress, they sell cheap Ketai under the guise of Turkish textiles. At the expense of Turkish textiles, for example, do not buy bed linen right away, look like - look, prices can differ significantly.
8. Mikhail came up every day and invited me on an exciting trip to a neighboring village for a fur coat. Misha, hello dear!!
Well, in general, that's all.
If you are coming here together for 40K for a week, then well done! ! Just take more pills. And if you have small children, then look for something else.
The settlement went well. The rooms are all the same. The windows of the standards overlook the pool / sea or the neighboring hotel. What will fall - roulette. We lived in a room with windows overlooking a neighboring hotel, we really appreciated this view, firstly, there are few observers, and secondly, the sun in the room is only in the morning and there is shade in the afternoon. Those that overlook the pool - there is noise up to 23, plus you can see all the neighbors in the hotel, because. U-shaped hotel. Cleaning is mediocre, plumbing could have been better cleaned, but we were not going to find fault, but to enjoy our vacation.
Food - you certainly won’t stay hungry, there’s a lot of everything, it’s delicious, the chef eats every day with the guests.
The sea - the beach is wide, the dirt, as they wrote in the reviews, did not see such a terrible one. The sea, however, was not calm all 2 weeks, if we got there, if this is a feature of the region... The entry into the sea is disgusting. Pebbles are not small, as many write, there are different ones. There are stones both small and the size of a fist, and when the sea is worried, these large stones hit our legs... We escaped with aqua shoes, it was really dreary to go in without them... Swimming in the sea near the coast is not realistic, people sit on each other's heads... pushing . I have never seen such a number of people per square meter in the sea. You could calmly swim until 9, then a flea market. Despite the fact that these are people not only from our hotel, there is another hotel's beach nearby from the second line, it is more convenient to enter from the side of their beach.
The hotel staff is very friendly with each other, everyone is friendly to vacationers, the atmosphere is very warm.
The contingent of the hotel - sooo many children. Well, a lot of grandmothers in bathrobes (((....
Animation - I don’t understand such enthusiasm about animation and why they call themselves number 1 on the coast of Alanya... Usual Turkish animation. Nothing new and super interesting. Standard guest shows, Mister and Miss of the hotel with the same competitions, as on the entire coast... We did not see anything new... Bocha, water polo, step... this is in all hotels. The animation team are great fun guys. People who describe super animation here probably have nothing to compare with, they have never rested in strawberries, where animation teams consist of at least 20 people, have their own dresser, decorator and professional dance director, where every evening there is a new production show and non-visitors dance artists and animators. Therefore, do not expect to see something like this here, everything is like everywhere else.
What surprised me was the bingo evening. . . We love such evenings, we love to be gambling. But bingo is free! Ticket - $ 2... The first time I meet this. We rested in a hotel in Egypt, we didn’t pay for a bingo ticket...
Disco - thanks to disco music, I felt so 17 years younger, on the coast of Crimea, well, not in Turkey... Leningrad WWW, Natalie "Oh, my God, what a man"))), and I heard Natalie's entire repertoire, Hands up Baby mine, Aphrodite "Valera" and stuff like that....
The hotel is normal for our money, we go to rest, and not to look for flaws, but there is no desire to return a second time.
