PROS: Good rooms, delicious food, bottled drinks, sun loungers with mattresses, awning, not crowded on the beach, 10 Russian channels, the sea is close.
MINUSES: Men without women are not accepted, a noisy track behind the pool, a sea with garbage, it can smell on the top floor (heard from those who moved), there is no tennis table, rackets and a ball (but you can knock, especially with your own rackets and a ball), plastic glasses for beer rinsed but not wiped, no TUI manager.
In Turkey on May 8th it turned out to be colder than in Moscow. A cold wind blew for 3 days, a blanket is needed at night. I ordered a blanket at the reception, they promised, but did not bring. I asked the cleaning lady - she gave me a second thin blanket. Then they gave me a third. It turned out that there were 30 blankets for 67 rooms.

For the first 3-4 days, a cold wind blew and a strong wave prevented entry, but you can swim if you wish. At the hotel beach on the right, 30-50 meters to the west the bottom is better. The beach is deserted and without buoys. Almost all sun loungers are free.
Mattresses are provided by the bartender on the beach. There in the bar the water is clean and tinted. At 15 o'clock they take out cookies or something else, but less often. If you forgot, you can recall.
Nearby beaches are either abandoned or empty. The nearest beach with rare people is a hundred meters in both directions, and the next beach to Antalya is more than a kilometer away. On May 12 it became warm and sunny, the wind died down.
The choice of dishes is small, but tasty, they try to diversify. From meat - chicken or cutlets are delicious, on Friday river trout, there are chicken giblets, mushrooms. Once there was a lamb skewers. From fruits - apples and oranges. There was a delicious cake - pastries. Soups are good for lunch and dinner. They recently changed the chef - everything is delicious.
Beer, white and red wine, gin, local whiskey, but decent for its price range, bottles are opened and poured before our eyes.
The hotel was a little full, even by the pool most of the sunbeds are free.
If you leave the hotel and turn right, towards Alanya, then at the first roundabout Deniz bank with ATMs (for 100 lira takes 3 lira), and at the next intersection - Change Office, where the dollar cost 5.9-5.75 lira (the exchange rate fell), - the only exchange office in Konakli. Some places even accept MIR cards.
Behind Deniz Bank are chain stores BIM, XEZBOL, A101. Even closer is Shock (Soc). Big Migros - to the right to a dead end and to the left (to go from the sea) a couple of blocks.
Along the highway towards Alanya, you can walk in half an hour to the walking area with fountains, sculptures, views of the mosque, attractions, stalls and TIME CENTER from Waikiki.
Wednesday exit market. From the hotel to the right to it about a hundred meters. Pistachios traded up to 60 lire/kg.
WI-FI works in the lobby and nearby.
Shower gel and liquid soap over the sink.

Bus stop to Alanya: go through the underpass to the beach and immediately turn left and then left. Get on the empty Konakli-Alania bus first, because the hotel is on the outskirts of Konakli.
Before leaving, you order a lunch box and specify the departure time in detail (due to the absence of the TUI manager, they gave me the time 10 minutes later than the actual one by calculating: departure time minus 5 hours). If the check-out is shortly before the start of breakfast-lunch-dinner, you can ask to come in for a bite to eat early.

8-10 breakfast
12:30-14 lunch
19-21 dinner

Tea, water always. Water from a pipe through a purification filter.
