The hotel was chosen based on reviews, descriptions of beaches and low-rise buildings. Located in the middle between Manavgat and Alanya (30 km in both directions) on the outskirts of the village of the same name Incekum. We arrived at the hotel at 7 am. We were the first vacationers after quarantine. Had to wait two hours for the hotel to open. During this time, they offered tea, coffee and fed breakfast from what they could quickly prepare. Checked in as soon as the hotel opened.
The number is normal. Everything is clean, neat, everything works. To the beaches - 150 meters. Cleaning and change of towels - every day. Air conditioning not well thought out. No matter how you set it up, all three beds are icy cold. And this is in 40-degree heat outside. For a cold - the most what you need.
The hotel has three beaches: rocky (a la Cyprus), small pebble and sandy. The last two have a good entry into the sea. The big plus of the hotel is the sea. As for us, this is the best sea we have ever been to. A small bay within a large bay. As a result - always complete calm. At a water temperature of 29 degrees, you can swim in the sea for hours. The sea is not deep. The first 70 meters depth is not more than 1.8 meters. Further - deeper, did not get the bottom.

The territory is clean, well-groomed, but with a rather slippery surface. Everywhere there are signs "Slippery". It's not hard to fall. The pool is excellent. A little less than the Egyptian ones.
The first three days felt like being in paradise. The beaches are free, the pool is free, the restaurant is free. Then came, obviously, not "universities". Golden chains, screams, mats. In short, we immediately felt ourselves not in Turkey, but at home. And it turned out that, even with a 50% occupancy of the hotel, there are hardly enough places on the beaches, by the pool and in the restaurant. With a quarantine norm of social distance of 1.5 meters, the real one is less than 0.5 meters. Everyone and everywhere without masks, in the restaurant - head to head. It's like there's no quarantine.
The food is excellent. The staff is acting a little strange. Everyone is responsible for their own, narrowly focused part of the work. As an example, the janitor on the beach cleans up the garbage and all week passes by the plates left by vacationers at the trash cans.
There is no infrastructure. Because the hotel is located on a peninsula, then on three sides the sea, and on the fourth - the highway. The nearest shops, such as general store, 1 km. along the highway. Only Turkish is understood in shops. Communication - gestures.
