Нормальный эконом-вариант Normal economy option

We just returned from Turkey yesterday. We rested in this hotel. To be honest, after reading the reviews before the trip, I expected much worse. The reality, as it often happens, turned out to be much more pleasant than the opinions of tourists who do not understand well what can really be obtained in Turkey in an ECONOMIC 4-star hotel.

But first about the "little things" in the description of the hotel. Here is what is listed on the website of the Coral tour operator: “Located in the village of Incekum, 110 km from the airport, 15 km from Alanya” ...Surprisingly, but true: the tour operator DOES NOT KNOW exactly where the hotel is located. Especially for comrades from Koral, I inform you: the ROYAL ROSE hotel is not located in the village of Incekum, but in the town of Turkler, which is near Avsalar. And to Alanya, not 15, but still 22 kilometers.

In general, I would like to note that this hotel exclusively works with Coral.

Probably, that is why there is no description and schedule of excursions on the information stand, as well as a price list for them ... And the guides generally carry something unintelligible to the masses. By the way, on the way back, CORAL, already knowing about the change in the departure time of our flight, dragged tourists to the Antalya airport 5 (! ) hours) before departure, after driving us for 3 (! ) hours to a dozen hotels, thus collecting , tourists in one bus. Well, what can I say: “CORAL” is also “CORAL” in Turkey. Although it seems to be in the form of "ODEON" ...: )

Now about the hotel itself. It is very modest in terms of territory, in terms of service it is closer to 3 Turkish stars. But also for the price! And this must be clearly understood when choosing Royal Rose. I repeat once again: this is an ECONOMY OPTION with all the ensuing consequences!

The main plus is the proximity of the sea. The beach is some 30 meters from the hotel and very nice. There were enough beds for all of us. True, there were pebbles caused by the sea near the shore.
If this does not inspire you, you just need to walk along the bay to the right of the hotel beach and plunge into the clear and very warm Mediterranean Sea anywhere in the bay where there are no stones. By the way, most tourists from all neighboring hotels (say, from the very popular LONICERA WORLD) constantly move along the coast during the day, do not lie still: they walk, breathe, communicate, swim ...Along the way, while walking along the beach, you, By the way, you can “force” the pretty river Fyuglu, which our tourists lovingly call Fekla. It can be easily crossed. : )

But let's get back to Royal Rose. The hotel area is small, but quite cozy. Very friendly guys work in bars and in the restaurant, the chef is very imposing, and Guzel at the reception is just smart! So there is no problem with staff.
Unless, of course, you take the trouble to learn at least a few words in Turkish and do not periodically cringe on a small tip.

The rooms in the Royal Rose are quite decent, not tiny, although, as they say, they are already well used in terms of equipment. But if you arrived at the SEA, and not sit in the room, then this will absolutely not bother you. Just like the "simple" animation in the face of Sabri. It was, as they say, parallel to us, since animation on vacation has never been very interesting. By the way, the view from most of the hotel rooms is simply amazing! So going out in the morning or late in the evening to the balcony is a pleasure!


For lovers of baths and massage, the hotel has a SPA center, thanks to which, by the way, the hotel, apparently, received that very 4th star. You can warm up in the bath, go to the hammam or traditional Turkish relaxation procedures ...: )

Food. She is a match for the economy level of the hotel.
In such hotels in Turkey, ANYWHERE you will find an abundance of meat or strawberry deposits. However, everything that a person who is not too picky about food needs is here. So no one dies of hunger! The soup is delicious, the pizza too, and the pancakes, scrambled eggs and fried vegetables are just super! For lunch and dinner, there is always watermelon and melon. Quite, I repeat, normal for a modest Turkish 4-ki ...: )

Now about the food for the intellect. To Alanya, which is definitely worth a trip (the city is very beautiful! ), Only 25-30 minutes by bus. The stop is a 2-minute walk from the hotel, the fare is 3.5 Turkish lira, that is, 2 dollars. You can also drive to the ancient, but very stylish city of Side. First, you take a bus to Manavgat, and then change to a local minibus. You will get there in an hour for sure, and all the pleasure one way will cost 10 lire. So in terms of exploring the regions of Alanya and Side, everything is exclusively in YOUR hands! . . : )
In general, if you go to the Royal Rose Hotel with a positive attitude to rest, if in Turkey the main thing for you is the sea, new cities and communication with the person who will keep you company on the trip, if, finally, you are used to eating, as they say, without frills and in moderation, then you will not have problems. At least the value for money in this hotel will be quite suitable for you. Especially if you go here not at the height of the season, but like us, in the fall. At this time, there are many Poles in the hotel and not so many compatriots ... At least we were satisfied with the rest. Thank you to all the Royal Rose staff, whom we are beginning to miss. Hello everyone and see you in Turkey! . . : )
