An excellent hotel for any holiday - energetic or relaxing, family or romantic couples. Good unobtrusive service. A variety of delicious dishes, local drinks. Clean and tidy, the rooms are freshly renovated) the only drawback is the stone beach, for me personally it turned out to be a great advantage) At any time of the day there are free sunbeds. European guests preferred to relax on the pools. We went to Konakli for shopping, and as it turned out, we killed time absolutely in vain (Clothes, shoes and sweets are several times cheaper near the hotel. I especially liked the ILGAR souvenir and textile center. Its owner, Aigul, is an incredibly friendly and hospitable girl who treats all guests to tea / coffee and traditional Turkish sweets. Very fresh and tasty) In addition, she has the lowest prices)

Accidentally chose a hotel, the area is small but well-groomed. The beach is awful, the animation is bad, the food is good. Settlement Arriving we were sent for brunch (10.00-10.30), did not wait long to check in, somewhere at 12.40 handed the keys. Because we settled early, they didn't put slippers and toothbrushes on us, they called and brought them.

Accidentally chose a hotel, the area is small but well-groomed. The beach is awful, the animation is bad, the food is good.
Settlement
Arriving we were sent for brunch (10.00-10.30), did not wait long to check in, somewhere at 12.40 handed the keys. Because we settled early, they didn't put slippers and toothbrushes on us, they called and brought them. Superficial cleaning: they brought water every day, new towels and cosmetics. The bed was never changed.
NUMBER
Reached overlooking the mosque and the sea. Room with new furniture but not designed for the refrigerator. When you take out the card there is no light and therefore when you leave the room it makes no sense to leave something there. The safe is paid $ 3 a day.
PERSONNEL
Hello, you could speak in Russian. No one has ever been rude, but tried to solve the difficulties you face.
FOOD
Varied food: fresh buns, muesli, pancakes, fried sausages, potatoes, soups in the morning.
Trouble with juices, colored water.
Sprite, circles, etc.
Particular attention should be paid to the two young ladies who serve ice cream on Mondays and Wednesdays, they make such delicious gozleme (stuffed cake). And my love - the man at the bar was making pizza.
Fruits were daily - watermelons, melons, plums, oranges, apples.
TERRITORY
Small but well-groomed, at every step of the toilet you do not have to run away. Poolside water park bar and snack bar. There is a pool for children, 1.20 - the river, 1.40 - a small pool with a waterfall. There are enough sunbeds for everyone, but take good seats from 6.00 am and do not leave a towel, and then feed you a fine of 10 €. Leave pareos, books.
ENTERTAINMENT
Young people will be sad, after the evening animation entertainment ends. The disco is weak, only Turks are present.
Hookah - $ 15. Be prepared that there will be no animation on Sunday and you can go to the night beach. The beach also has entertainment: jet skis, bananas, etc.
Only on the last day did they see that the animators made water football.
Excursions were taken outside the hotel, cheaper than at the hotel.
There is a grocery store and a la carte market nearby (cap - $ 1, T-shirt - $ 3).
BEACH
The only disappointment is the sand ends at the entrance to the sea, then pebbles and large stones, the sea is clean and warm.
So, the hotel is more family-type, entertainment is not expected, the food is good if you are not going to go to the beach, the hotel is ideal for an hour.

Excellent FAMILY hotel. No discs and booze until the morning. The rooms are clean and well maintained. Animation is, but not intrusive. If you go with your family, that's it.

I often rest in Turkey, the 3rd - in this hotel and the 1st - with known aggravating conditions. The question was, how to evaluate if he is the 1st? With what to compare? On the other hand, no one told us: “Due to the inconvenience due to covid-19, a xx% discount is provided. ” They didn't tell me. And therefore, with ease in my soul, I evaluate without discounts.

Airlines, travel agencies do not count - only a hotel. Therefore, immediately - "here, here we are, who is Surgut ... ", and we were from Mariupol, in two pairs at 12 o'clock. We accepted according to Vitsin - "everything is decorous, noble. " We quickly filled in the binding paperwork, had lunch and, of course, hoped to immediately move in. An no. 14-00 and not a minute earlier. He did not turn to Franklin and other presidents for help. But the anger at the principle went off scale. Until they settled in and made sure that the rooms had just been prepared, the floors were still damp. The rooms were given adjacent, in the new building.
If anyone does not know, the advantage of the new building is the absence of a mosque (no matter what they say) and a queue for the elevator. I don’t remember what kind of furniture in the old one, in the new one there are no complaints. Even with a very strong desire to find fault with nothing - 5 points.
Service. I go to the room to spend the night and before dinner. Therefore, the main criterion for cleaning is that nothing was stolen and already excellent. The "+" can be attributed to the fact that it became possible to exchange towels until 18-30. I don’t even know how to attribute the prices for ironing clothes to “-” or “+”, maybe someone who is enterprising will rent a room with an iron and open a business (the cheapest socks service is 1.5 euros). The sauna remained paid (do not believe other sources that it is free), the virus did not affect this in any way. But how could he turn off the temperature sensor on the information board? And how could you get the Bistro bar to work from 21-00? Instead of earlier 14-00. In general, you still need to study it (covid).
In the meantime, it turned out that one bar closed at 17, the other at 17-30, and the entire load falls on the bar in the lobby on the 2nd floor. I guess I don't need to explain what that means. And this applies not only to alcohol, but to all drinks.
The World Health Organization has banned the use of coffee machines by itself. It’s good that I forgot to prohibit general access to refrigerators with water, and they themselves applied ice to drinks with one tweezers. And then they would sit without water, too. Drinks - standard Turkish local spill. In the lobby you can order not bad cocktails, Baileys. But in beach bars from alcohol - only wines and Tuborg beer (although it cannot be attributed to alcohol). Oh. Forgot. There is a “drink of the future”, i. e. tomorrow – AYRAN. If you stock up on them in advance in the refrigerator, then the hangover can be corrected not only with water provided by the hotel in the mini-bar of the room. Who is WHO and why can't she say "just sanitize your hands after pressing the button"?
Not in our power, but the hotel is able to solve the inconvenience (already without nit-picking). Therefore, -4 points, and then with a stretch for the politeness of the staff.
Nutrition. Of course, I did not meet the “hungry”, and you will not stay if you come. The most popular nutritional assessment, I won’t even argue here. But no frills. Fish, chicken. Both are possible, but on the 7th day it becomes difficult to choose between them. Yes, there are fruits, vegetable salads, sweets. But still, in terms of nutrition, Kahya has become an ordinary budget "5". "And there was a time ... ". And okay, there is always a queue for omelettes in all hotels at breakfast rush hour, and hanging out over various dishes and alcohol, but why can't you spill glasses of tea for future use? In general, a party to a disco begins with a restaurant. What if you are 15 minutes late? for dinner (beginning 18-30), then do not rush. Tables will be free closer to 19-45. Of course, I also met worse food, but 4-, no more.
Animation. The strong side of Kahya ...was before that, covid climbed into it too.
Reduced staff - 3 animators + DJ. What mini club? Gardens and schools are half closed. I agree with the term "unobtrusive". Yes, the female gender should be given the opportunity to say “NO” 2 times, because a decent girl should say “NO” to the first invitation. But there was aqua aerobics (until it became completely cold in the pool), they shot from a bow (although now there is only one for everyone from the previously provided 4 bows), they killed each other in a secluded place with darts. But who wanted to participate. Volleyball is probably one of the most popular games, but the impact has also affected it. The grid was lowered to 2-20. The game began to resemble “fights without rules”, and the net became rather unsafe. If in the previous recall recommended to take your ball with you, now I will say - in no case. They pierced more than one ball.
Evening program. Mini-disco - for some reason, the songs are all in German, with 90% of Russian-speaking tourists.
For adults, there was more time for a disco until 0 o'clock at the Bistro bar, but after - "ales", the nightclub is closed, probably the same WHO, it was not banned at the Bistro bar. And it bothered a lot of people. Although I was on the balcony in the lobby, I could hardly distinguish what was playing. They were not bad off, although the DJ could have diversified the repertoire.
Eventually. Of course, the sun and the sea, the main advantages of rest, have not disappeared anywhere. I don’t write about the shortcomings of the sea, I think they are included in the price discount. But for the first time I left without the desire to extend the ticket for a few days. I refrain from recommending. Count "+" and "-" yourself. Who is more suitable.
P. S. The review is definitely not paid. Because I don't know who should pay me.

Delicious grilled fish, including red. Confectionery is delicious. All baklava with nuts. All kinds of salads, stewed vegetables. Everything is delicious, really everything. There is something to compare, we visit Turkey every year. Also respect for the cleanliness, daily cleaning, change of linen and towels. The hotel also made a birthday present. It was nice. Of the minuses - these are uncivilized people, rednecks who fill up sunbeds and paid scales for weighing luggage in the evening. But these are trifles. In general, I liked everything. We'll be back again.

The review will be interesting for those who want to really relax, and not just fly to Turkey after the pandemic, changing the picture, so read on and make your choice. I am an unspoiled tourist, we often travel to different countries, this is not the first time in Turkey, including in Alanya, so I will write in my review what is actually and what is not.

The review will be interesting for those who want to really relax, and not just fly to Turkey after the pandemic, changing the picture, so read on and make your choice.
I am an unspoiled tourist, we often travel to different countries, this is not the first time in Turkey, including in Alanya, so I will write in my review what is actually and what is not. SO:
ARRIVAL AND HOTEL:
I will not describe how we flew, how we flew, how we got to the hotel, how we settled in, etc. , because it's boring. We flew normally, like everyone else, the transfer was normal, we drove to the hotel from the airport for a little over 2 hours, from the hotel back when we returned it took exactly 3 hours.
They didn’t pay anything extra at the reception, the room was good, we lived at 1253, with windows facing the street, so there was no noise, decent furniture, a refrigerator and air conditioning, TV, soap, gels, shampoos, drinking water, swans from bedspreads, towels, cleaning in everything is fine in the room, here you can rate five, adding here that there is Wi-Fi, the password for which you had to re-enter every time you leave the room, but this is not critical, you can always connect at the snack bar.
HOTEL TERRITORY:
The Turks are great, because everywhere there are automatic disinfectors, temperature measurements at the entrance and before dinner, clean, sterile, all the staff are wearing masks, vacationers can not wear masks on the territory of the hotel, unless they went on excursions or simply left the hotel, there you will have to wear a mask everywhere, with this strictly. The hotel itself is large, beautiful, with elevators, which had to wait due to the fact that, I repeat, the hotel is large and there are many vacationers. The territory is well-groomed, we were pleased with the pools in which you can really swim, and not rinse like in a puddle, a lazy river is also a pool where an artificial wave is turned on, and it drives you by itself, you don’t even have to row, a water park of three slides plus a slide with a pool for the little ones who travel with children - you are here. Children will not be bored. This item could also be rated 5, but I will put 4, because if you want to take a seat on a sunbed by the pool, then you are unlikely to succeed due to the fact that Germans and Americans are mostly and some percentage Slavs throw their towels on the sunbeds (they borrow in this way) almost from 5 in the morning, or even in the evening, although they themselves may not appear for half a day, as a result, all the sunbeds seem to be free and there are a lot of them, but they are not free, they lie there towels vacationers, this is a minus, because the four.
NUTRITION:
Here I will immediately rate 5. I don’t know who writes that food is bad, I don’t think so, although I myself am fond of cooking different dishes and I know a lot about it, I’ll say that normal food for Turkey and a buffet, there is everything, quite diverse, Naturally, who came for 14 days, the food will seem monotonous, it’s just repetitive, who for a week, then there are no problems at all, once a week they give crayfish, though the Turks don’t know how to cook them. At the entrance to the common dining room with a buffet, there are staff in masks and gloves, they hand you disposable devices in packages, everything is civil, no one puts food as before, you point your finger, and they quickly put food on plates, wine, beer, juices and etc. , it is always there, the dishes are unbroken, the tables are clean, they are constantly cleaned, the staff itself is clean, in white shirts ironed.
The only negative was the table where they give coffee and tea, in the morning there is a big queue for breakfast. The tea is delicious and so is the coffee. There is currently only one A la carte restaurant operating on the territory, whoever came for more than a week - does not get into it, because the restaurant is scheduled 10 days in advance, so whoever needs another restaurant - sign up for it with the guide on the day of arrival or on next day On the territory there is also a snack bar with drinks and a bar with drinks by the pool, only beer from alcohol, good cocktails are made in the main building where the reception is, you can always come there, sit in beautiful chairs and sip a cocktail. These were all the pluses of the hotel, now I turn to the minuses and the MAIN MINUS OF THE HOTEL IS...
CONS OF THE HOTEL:
And the main disadvantage of this hotel is the hotel guide MARINA... A person who does not solve any problems of tourists, a person who lies to everyone on every excursion. With whom we did not communicate - every tourist was deceived, the prices are the highest of all tour operators in this hotel. We went on a jeep SAFARI excursion, which I will write about below, the second half of this excursion was a trip on a yacht, the cost was 45 bucks per person, on the ship we talked with people from other hotels, everyone paid 39 bucks, and so on. Marina lured us to this excursion by telling deliciously with saliva at her mouth that there will be a super animator Alena on the yacht, about which the Internet is teeming with positive reviews, there will be dancing, fun, a super lunch and a lot of impressions, swimming in the open sea for 1.5 hours...
And so she promises all the tourists, who then sit on the ship, look at each other and ask: where is Alena, dancing and food, and so, there is no Alena and nothing of the declared for 45 bucks per person, there is a dirty trough like a pirate ship, sticky pasta with sour salad, water for money, instead of Alena, a guy who just threw food on the table for us, swimming on a whistle with the words of the same guy: EVERYONE SWIM... everyone jumps like fools on this whistle and on the whistle in 15-20 minutes out of the water, complete idiocy, this is the second part of the tour, the first part of the Jeep Safari, but there is nothing to do with Safari, do not try to go there, the guide Marina does not say that this is a terrible off-road serpentine at breakneck speed for those who need adrenaline, such excursions just need to be canceled, because sooner or later someone will fall.
Imagine at great speed, 10 jeeps are rushing down a serpentine and dusty road from above, not seeing anything in front of you, because the dust is such that you can’t see anything in a meter, not to mention the abyss, people stand in these jeeps rocking it to the sides, the host of this tour told everyone to get up to squeal and get emotional, the jeeps are dirty, loaded with bottles in dirty water, during this trip the jeeps overtake each other and everyone splashes from these bottles, as a result you go wet and dirty where Alena should be on the ship, which is not . The woman on the serpentine became ill with her heart, she did not expect this. When we began to reprimand Marina and not only us, each time she rolled her eyes, people say about such people: at least piss in her eyes, everything is God's dew. The second tour was a sightseeing tour, also nothing good, all shopping, don't waste your money. Rating one for this item.
The second disadvantage of the hotel is the beach and the sea. The hotel is not in Alanya itself, but 22 km from it, along the entire sea there is a stone plateau, in other words, a plate where there is no normal descent, and even sailing people hurt their legs, and we are no exception. My husband dives, but even he didn’t go to the sea except once, the sea is dirty and without calls, whoever wants the sea is not in this hotel. The beach, too, seems to be some kind of unkempt, in this hotel to be only on the territory by the pools, who wants the sea, without listening to the guide Marina and not falling for her stupid excursions, leave the hotel, turn right, go to the main road, it's about five minutes, there is the final stop of the bus, take the bus, number either 50 or 53, I don’t remember now, but it’s the only one there, pay 5 lira per person, don’t forget the masks, just tell the driver Cleopatra beach and in 10-15 minutes you are on this beach. But Marina does not like to talk about it, because she needs to sell excursions that include a trip to Cleopatra Beach.
The third minus is the reception staff, and this minus is not only in our hotel, but in general in Alanya, so that we communicate with many tourists from different hotels. Minus the lies of the staff. If you are going on an early excursion, or you have an early flight, as we had, then you order a box with breakfast in the evening and in the morning at the reception you must give it to you. In the morning at 4 in the morning (this is the day of departure), we went to the reception together with a woman with a child, she went on an early excursion, and we were told that there was no food, they immediately turn on the fool in this regard, they also didn’t give food in the morning in another hotel to the people we collected along the way, such disrespect does not cause pleasant emotions.
For the information of tourists: the hotel issues only one card per room, it is very inconvenient for those traveling with the family. For the loss of the card, pay 10 bucks. They grabbed a card from us in the dining room along with the dishes, I went up to Marina, she confidently said: we’ll decide now. In the end, she did not decide anything, we gave the money. Also to the attention of tourists: the hotel has a fur shop, it is right next to the elevators on the way down to the dining room, a Russian woman Emma and Jamil are sitting there, they will organize all excursions for you cheaper, they will prompt and help you, contact them for free, and not Marina, the only thing they ask is to visit their store for free, it was not difficult for us to do this.
Have a good holiday to all who benefited from my review, I'm glad.
I am an unspoiled tourist, we often travel to different countries, this is not the first time in Turkey, including in Alanya, so I will write in my review what is actually and what is not. SO:

NUTRITION:
Here I will immediately rate 5. I don’t know who writes that food is bad, I don’t think so, although I myself am fond of cooking different dishes and I know a lot about it, I’ll say that normal food for Turkey and a buffet, there is everything, quite diverse, Naturally, who came for 14 days, the food will seem monotonous, it’s just repetitive, who for a week, then there are no problems at all, once a week they give crayfish, though the Turks don’t know how to cook them. At the entrance to the common dining room with a buffet, there are staff in masks and gloves, they hand you disposable devices in packages, everything is civil, no one puts food as before, you point your finger, and they quickly put food on plates, wine, beer, juices and etc. , it is always there, the dishes are unbroken, the tables are clean, they are constantly cleaned, the staff itself is clean, in white shirts ironed.
The only negative was the table where they give coffee and tea, in the morning there is a big queue for breakfast. The tea is delicious and so is the coffee. There is currently only one A la carte restaurant operating on the territory, whoever came for more than a week - does not get into it, because the restaurant is scheduled 10 days in advance, so whoever needs another restaurant - sign up for it with the guide on the day of arrival or on next day On the territory there is also a snack bar with drinks and a bar with drinks by the pool, only beer from alcohol, good cocktails are made in the main building where the reception is, you can always come there, sit in beautiful chairs and sip a cocktail. These were all the pluses of the hotel, now I turn to the minuses and the MAIN MINUS OF THE HOTEL IS...
CONS OF THE HOTEL:
And the main disadvantage of this hotel is the hotel guide MARINA... A person who does not solve any problems of tourists, a person who lies to everyone on every excursion. With whom we did not communicate - every tourist was deceived, the prices are the highest of all tour operators in this hotel. We went on a jeep SAFARI excursion, which I will write about below, the second half of this excursion was a trip on a yacht, the cost was 45 bucks per person, on the ship we talked with people from other hotels, everyone paid 39 bucks, and so on. Marina lured us to this excursion by telling deliciously with saliva at her mouth that there will be a super animator Alena on the yacht, about which the Internet is teeming with positive reviews, there will be dancing, fun, a super lunch and a lot of impressions, swimming in the open sea for 1.5 hours...
And so she promises all the tourists, who then sit on the ship, look at each other and ask: where is Alena, dancing and food, and so, there is no Alena and nothing of the declared for 45 bucks per person, there is a dirty trough like a pirate ship, sticky pasta with sour salad, water for money, instead of Alena, a guy who just threw food on the table for us, swimming on a whistle with the words of the same guy: EVERYONE SWIM... everyone jumps like fools on this whistle and on the whistle in 15-20 minutes out of the water, complete idiocy, this is the second part of the tour, the first part of the Jeep Safari, but there is nothing to do with Safari, do not try to go there, the guide Marina does not say that this is a terrible off-road serpentine at breakneck speed for those who need adrenaline, such excursions just need to be canceled, because sooner or later someone will fall.
Imagine at great speed, 10 jeeps are rushing down a serpentine and dusty road from above, not seeing anything in front of you, because the dust is such that you can’t see anything in a meter, not to mention the abyss, people stand in these jeeps rocking it to the sides, the host of this tour told everyone to get up to squeal and get emotional, the jeeps are dirty, loaded with bottles in dirty water, during this trip the jeeps overtake each other and everyone splashes from these bottles, as a result you go wet and dirty where Alena should be on the ship, which is not . The woman on the serpentine became ill with her heart, she did not expect this. When we began to reprimand Marina and not only us, each time she rolled her eyes, people say about such people: at least piss in her eyes, everything is God's dew. The second tour was a sightseeing tour, also nothing good, all shopping, don't waste your money. Rating one for this item.
The second disadvantage of the hotel is the beach and the sea. The hotel is not in Alanya itself, but 22 km from it, along the entire sea there is a stone plateau, in other words, a plate where there is no normal descent, and even sailing people hurt their legs, and we are no exception. My husband dives, but even he didn’t go to the sea except once, the sea is dirty and without calls, whoever wants the sea is not in this hotel. The beach, too, seems to be some kind of unkempt, in this hotel to be only on the territory by the pools, who wants the sea, without listening to the guide Marina and not falling for her stupid excursions, leave the hotel, turn right, go to the main road, it's about five minutes, there is the final stop of the bus, take the bus, number either 50 or 53, I don’t remember now, but it’s the only one there, pay 5 lira per person, don’t forget the masks, just tell the driver Cleopatra beach and in 10-15 minutes you are on this beach. But Marina does not like to talk about it, because she needs to sell excursions that include a trip to Cleopatra Beach.
The third minus is the reception staff, and this minus is not only in our hotel, but in general in Alanya, so that we communicate with many tourists from different hotels. Minus the lies of the staff. If you are going on an early excursion, or you have an early flight, as we had, then you order a box with breakfast in the evening and in the morning at the reception you must give it to you. In the morning at 4 in the morning (this is the day of departure), we went to the reception together with a woman with a child, she went on an early excursion, and we were told that there was no food, they immediately turn on the fool in this regard, they also didn’t give food in the morning in another hotel to the people we collected along the way, such disrespect does not cause pleasant emotions.
For the information of tourists: the hotel issues only one card per room, it is very inconvenient for those traveling with the family. For the loss of the card, pay 10 bucks. They grabbed a card from us in the dining room along with the dishes, I went up to Marina, she confidently said: we’ll decide now. In the end, she did not decide anything, we gave the money. Also to the attention of tourists: the hotel has a fur shop, it is right next to the elevators on the way down to the dining room, a Russian woman Emma and Jamil are sitting there, they will organize all excursions for you cheaper, they will prompt and help you, contact them for free, and not Marina, the only thing they ask is to visit their store for free, it was not difficult for us to do this.
Have a good holiday to all who benefited from my review, I'm glad.

The biggest plus of the hotel is the water park and pools, and the river is generally super! In terms of nutrition - it's hard to say because of Covid, and compared with the hotels we were in before, the assortment is not large, but there was everything - several types of meat, and fish, vegetables, fruits, sweets, everything was deliciously cooked.

The sea is the pain of this hotel, the beach is dirty, the sunbeds are dirty, the sand is hot, the wooden path is 1 for the entire beach. Entry and exit from the sea is not the most pleasant. But the sea is very warm!
Animation every day except Sunday.
Wi-fi in the room caught, albeit intermittently, but it worked on a laptop.
Most of the time we spent near the pools, so the minuses did not upset us much.
The kids loved the hotel!

The hotel is beautiful, the territory is well-groomed, a wonderful water park, varied and delicious food, the level of disinfection and sanitation is high, bars are open everywhere, so you will not feel any thirst or hunger. But there is always a "but": very few staff understand English and Russian, I'm not talking about Ukrainian.

The hotel is beautiful, the territory is well-groomed, a wonderful water park, varied and delicious food, the level of disinfection and sanitation is high, bars are open everywhere, so you will not feel any thirst or hunger. But there is always a "but": very few staff understand English and Russian, I'm not talking about Ukrainian. That's why you will get simple things that can be shown with the help of gestures, but to explain something more difficult is to sweat.
About the beach and the sea. The first line (underground passage under the road, very reminiscent of the entrance to the basement, which adds a certain mystical feeling, especially when the light is off in the middle), but the sand is gray-black and waves of the same color, many stones, you can only enter the water corals, otherwise all the legs will be beaten (as I have). Running to the water on a hot mixture of sand and stones is another pleasure. And you can get out of the water only if you are a crocodile (this is the method we used).
Only the volleyball court is cleared of stones. The water, despite the stone bottom, is muddy white. The only way out, if you really want the sea, go 15 minutes. to the next hotel, where there are breakwaters and the usual brownish-yellow sand both on the shore and in the water. But the feeling is that you are a thief who climbed up to someone in the yard mulberry mulberry.
In short, we squirmed in the pools and fooled on the slides - to salt in the sea did not work.
A-la-Carte: both laughter and sin. I will not describe everything, I will just say: there is no juice for children (although there are 4 types in the dining room below) - only circles / fanta / sprite, wine is the same as in bars, tablecloths in spots and burnt, napkins according to the number of attendees week. Of the pros: cool, no crowds, serving.
Excursions: warned at the reception in the evening that you will need lunch boxes at 4 am for 6 people - received 4 with the words "everything that is". The situation was repeated on the day of departure.
Conclusion: if you go not to swim in the sea, but to shoot beautiful landscapes and raging waves, break away in the water park and swimming pools, relax and do not expect much - great! If you need sand, sea and restaurants - look no further)
P. S. They stole the phone during the day, in the elevator - they returned after the reception and the scandal, they said they found it - I do not believe it, because if it fell it would break (the floor is stone or tile everywhere, there are no carpets in the elevator).

Rested with family, everyone liked it. Friendly staff, clean surroundings. The room was cleaned very well. We liked the food and drinks. Everything was delicious. The mosque was not particularly audible, especially if you close the balcony door. The sea is clean, there are stones, but they did not interfere.

Good afternoon . I would like to leave my feedback on this. My husband and I were guided by the reviews of the past months when choosing a hotel, all the reviews are excellent, even the thought did not arise that something could be wrong. We went with a great mood and. I have no censorship words for those people who praised this hotel.

Good afternoon . I would like to leave my feedback on this. My husband and I were guided by the reviews of the past months when choosing a hotel, all the reviews are excellent, even the thought did not arise that something could be wrong. We went with a great mood and. I have no censorship words for those people who praised this hotel. In order. Food: There is nothing for a normal person to eat. Soy meat, soy cutlets, even soy shawarma!!! ! And it's 5 stars! ? For a week, no mussels, no squid, no seafood, only river fish on the grill. Everything ! I am silent about meat in general - it does not exist, it is artificial. Mashed potatoes, French fries, eggplant, and rice. Excellent variety. There are no words. Hungry every day. Unlike people who liked soy meat on vacation, I'm not ready to eat. Thanks. Animation: this is generally trash))) it simply does not exist. During the day there is nothing, once a week they shot from a bow. In the evening, turn on the music on the street and dance like. Know comments. Boredom is rare. The concept of the hotel: this is the most important thing) no one warned us that the hotel was for children. I think the hotel should be called Kahya for kids. Crowds of screaming children everywhere, at dinner and lunch, breakfast, pool, just everywhere. What kind of vacation are we talking about? Mothers, sitting in the dining room, do not even pay attention to their screaming children, they just sit and laugh. I warn you: the hotel is exclusively for families with children, together, and even more so the company has nothing to do here. Spoil your holiday in the trash, like us. Beach: well, it's just kick-ass. Disgusting bottom with boulders, stones, a nightmare. The general view of the beach, sun loungers - miserable, as we have in Anapa, everything is dirty, garbage everywhere. I could not be there and we went to the beach in Alanya. Good five right? This is the worst hotel we have ever been in, everything is so disgusting that I have no words.
