In general, I liked it. The building is beautiful, the staff is kind, the animation is super!!!
Building: huge, very beautiful, new. Cons: Poor soundproofing. Even with the door closed, you can hear everything that is going on outside. DO NOT TAKE A ROOM WITH A SEA VIEW (it also overlooks the road). At 5 am, the rise is guaranteed. Cars start making such a noise in the morning that almost everyone wakes up. In the evening, they probably make noise too, but we went to bed after one in the morning, they probably didn’t drive so often even then.
Territory: The hotel is quite new and there are flaws, construction around, palm trees "on crutches" (not taken root yet). But everything is being completed, growing and being built before our eyes.
Staff: I love new hotels precisely for respect for all the requests of any client. Like a young teacher at school, who at first loves children, because no one has shit in her soul yet. In a word, PERFECTLY ATTENTIVE.

Animation: in the animation, everyone is from different countries (not from the village opposite), the emphasis is on dance costume shows, and not on "anal-genital" humor, as is customary in most hotels. ANIMATION IS GREAT! True, many do not speak Russian, but they try so hard that they simply learn the language in front of their eyes.
Service: I really liked the spa, attitude, services. Sauna, massage, tea. Rooms are cleaned daily, "beauty" on the beds in the form of swans, flowers, as expected, in a word. In some rooms there were slippers and a toothbrush and paste and a shaving kit (cream and razor) and a washcloth. In others, nothing but standard shampoos, lotion, soap, caps. REQUEST. True, we did not demand, all the same, we brought all this with us, we did not need it. But they took one toothpaste with them, and two rooms. It was useful that she was in the next room.
FOOD: I didn't like the confectionery, sometimes even fours are better. But these are tastes. . . They are different. True, it seems that all visitors are just like me. There is a lot of meat, there are also quite a lot of salads, though all the "edible" salads for me were made up of parsley, cucumbers and tomatoes, but in different proportions. This created an impression of diversity. There is a lot of meat and tasty, not spicy as it often happens, the side dishes are excellent: rice. mashed potatoes, spaghetti, stewed cabbage, all kinds of interesting side dishes from different vegetables. The break between meals and catch is difficult. From 17 to 19, from 21 to 23.30 and from 0.30 to 7.00 (these are breaks). So you can eat almost all the time. I didn't like one thing: they don't give butter for breakfast. I can't live without a roll with butter and coffee in the morning. But dried fruits, nuts, cookies, jams - in stock.
Drinks: beer, wine, vodka - standard, i. e. local production, all sorts of "juices" - from the "invite" series, fresh - 2 euros a glass. (something they went too far, usually in hotels if 1 euro - many take, 2 euros - almost no one). Coffee is worth trying in different bars. There is also hot chocolate and cappuccino. The coffee in the restaurant is not very good : (. They (in my opinion) tweak the devices to save money so that either milk does not flow, then there is more water than necessary, or only milk... without coffee. Bars seem to have the same apparatus, but coffee stronger and tastier. However, we then took the plates and stomped to the bar near the pool.

Fruits: only oranges and apples. However, this part of the diet is of little interest to me personally, but many complained that there was no variety. They counted on strawberries, bananas at least (which is quite reasonable, the season is already! ).
Entertainment: table tennis, disco - free of charge. The disco is okay, but if there are 150 people in the hotel and all the tables are already occupied, what will happen when 1000 arrive?
Territory: bald yet, but cute, slides work, waterfall is so cute, bars with food and drinks all day.
You can stop right on the road minibus (run every 10-15 minutes). Minibuses are easy to recognize, besides they shine with headlights from afar when they see that people are standing on the road waiting for something. By minibus you can go for 2.5 dollars per person to Alanya or for 1.5 dollars to Avsalar (this is very close). We went to Avsalar. they just walked in, said the name, got a pack of one dollar each, the driver took 3 dollars for two and, as they approached, warned us with the same word "Avsalar". That's how we talked in Turkish : ). In the village there are shops, coffee shops, fruits, ice cream, beer, etc. There are many Russian (from the CIS countries) sellers, Russian tourists, you feel free there. We drove back the same way, only "Avsalar" was replaced by "Long Beach".
Didn't want to leave. Turks are so diligent in learning languages. Almost everyone speaks fluent German (at the hotel, exactly), English and repeat every phrase in Russian. Well done. I felt ashamed for my study of English for years. . .
Good luck to all trips. Maybe I forgot to describe something, but now I don’t remember everything. Ask, I'll write.
