In general, I liked the rest, if you are looking for a quiet place without traffic, then you can relax here both physically and psychologically. The only obvious disadvantage is the queues that sometimes rage, but that's it. Regarding guides.
Reading the comments on this site that the guides do not pay attention to you, if you do not buy a tour from them, I will say more, we are more fortunate, our guide really steamed for us only in terms of the tour bought in it. We bought a tour, so she gave us all the info in the messenger and reminded us not to miss the day before, and since when it came to simple information, she did not unsubscribe, saying that the Internet is bad and did not receive a message, that's when we her caught in person at the reception. Pegasus' guide is not at all happy.
We put 8 stars, because 10 is the perfect hotel should be. I will note that 8 stars, but with good and pleasant impressions of the hotel and we would recommend it, though for a quiet holiday, people who want a rich vacation need something else)
1. FOOD - breakfasts, lots of vegetables, boiled, fried eggs, omelets, various cheeses, slices.
Milk porridge, breakfast cereals, everything is great
Lunch and dinner - a lot of meat, fish, french fries, stew vegetables and many delicious and fresh. Desserts are great.
There is a snack bar where you can have a snack, print gezlime, at 17.00 show where something new is constantly being prepared near you.
2. The sea is a gentle sunset, and the water is milk for the boy. Due to the bay, there are almost no waves.
3. The hotel area is not large, but compact, all green, you can see the care.
4. Animation for all 5 *
One small minus, so the room is very small, we have a hard time)))
We have already had 10 vacations in Turkey, there were 5 * different hotels, but we always ask ourselves if we would come back again, yes.
So next vacation, I already know which hotel to spend with my homeland.
Minus - a volleyball court on the beach, almost every night the waves caused stones that can be removed in 10-15 minutes, but the staff did it every 7 days. We and other guests who like to play volleyball, played on the grounds of neighboring hotels.
We arrived after lunch and were seated immediately. They offered a room in building 9, where there is a 2-bed and a sofa - i. e. there is no full-fledged bed for the child - they did not agree, they offered another room on the 2nd floor, already with 3 beds, but the balcony to the kitchen of the neighboring hotel and the air conditioners - noise and smell, still the same ((. As a result, they returned to the 1st building, where they offered 2- x storey room. The money was not even hinted at, we thanked ourselves. The child was happy from a separate room with a double bed, and the parents are happy).
The hotel is perfectly located, in the bay - the sea, if a little worried, then still there were no problems with the call. The bottom is small pebbles, the child was sometimes in crocs and sometimes I was in “soap dishes”, my husband came in without shoes. The hotel has a lot of greenery. There is a relax pool 16+ and a pool with two water slides. It has a jacuzzi and hosted water aerobics and water polo.
There are no questions about nutrition - everything was in abundance and varied. Food was served by hotel staff wearing masks and gloves. They served large portions, you always had to ask for a little bit. There were almost no queues. At the entrance to the restaurant, the temperature was measured and the dynamics recorded, if necessary, you could take a mask, but only a few vacationers did this. There are sanitizers everywhere - in the elevator, near the elevator, on the territory. Napkins are individually packaged and dry and wet are available.
During the day we often ate at the snack bar. A sufficient selection of dishes - french fries, shawarma, skewers on skewers, fish, vegetables, fruits, sweets. From 12 noon they give out ice cream in individual packaging, more often there was only frozen ice, but also white and brown in chocolate. The potatoes in their uniforms were delicious - stuffed to taste, honey balls and donuts with ice cream. We visited an Italian restaurant - we liked it very much. In the bar, only local drinks - cognac, whiskey, vodka, ayran in the restaurant and in the bars on the street could be taken throughout the day.
The animation is not intrusive. There was exercise, step aerobics, darts - everything is standard. The mini disco is the same every day, but the kids loved it. At the end, they were given T-shirts (10 USD), watches - (5 USD), sand drawing (3 USD), etc. - which the children painted during the day in the children's club. On Sunday, the animators had a weekend - there was nothing, in the evening they turned on the music, it was possible to dance.
The staff is attentive and friendly. There was even a wedding at the hotel. And on our wedding anniversary, we received a bottle of wine and fruit as a present, for which thanks to Victoria's hospitality.
Near the hotel there is Alara Bazaar, prices at the end of the season are pleasant, well inferior.
The weather was excellent, even hot for October, +28-30*, the sea is very warm, the water in the pool was cooler. One day there was a little rain.
In general, we were satisfied with the hotel and this long-awaited vacation. The hotel is recommended for relaxation.
And most importantly - thanks to my husband for a wonderful vacation and a wonderful celebration of the 10th anniversary of our wedding : *!
The food is good, small queues are a bit annoying at each food stand, but this is today's objective situation. You can also eat outside, next to the pool. The food is not varied, but you definitely won't go hungry. There is no children's kitchen. We had a rest mother with a baby, she was very upset about this. Ice cream was always in stock. The staff is all in masks, the temperature was measured at 3 r. the day before entering the restaurant.
Entertainment every day according to the schedule, the animators are great, and they also work with the kids.
Now about something that I can neither accept nor understand. In the description of the hotel, the hammam service is written FREE - which means that without paying you can go to the hammam for at least 5 minutes to warm up. In Tunisia last year, 15 minutes were allocated per room and there was an appointment for a free visit to the hammam. They won't let you in here for free! The manager explained to me that this is his commercial enterprise, and if I do not order services (from $ 50), then you can’t go to the hammam! Your manager has only dollars in his eyes!!! ! In more detail, I made a video "Honest review about the rest" on my YouTube channel. Dear hotel managers! Set up an appointment for a free hammam at the hotel, follow the declared list of services and the hotel rating will be much higher than it is now. One fly in the ointment completely changes the taste of honey in a barrel.
Sincerely,
Jeanne
This hotel is compact. I rested here with a child, far away he will not run away. Quite liked the hotel. There is a market not far from the hotel. Alanya can be reached by bus.
You just need to spend more at sea and not twitch on excursions, it’s very good here.
Green hotel, friendly staff, wonderful spa, many pools, a unique relaxation area, food for the top five. Cozy, comfortable. I can't say anything bad about this hotel.
