We vacationed together in August 2023. The flight was at night and early in the morning we arrived at Antalya airport. We arrived tired because the plane was a bit crowded. Since we initially planned our vacation in the Alanya region and knew that it was a long drive, when ordering excursions, we were offered a transfer. My husband ordered from Alik in the VK group, we didn’t see him, we ordered everything, he sent some photos with receipts, we paid for everything after the fact.
So, in more detail
We ordered a private transfer, which made our way to the hotel very easy. We arrived quickly and comfortably. Upon arrival at the hotel, we understood that we would not be checked in before 14:00 and prepared our things in advance in order to change clothes and go swimming and relax. But to our surprise, we were checked in earlier. Apparently the hotel was not completely full (without any additional payments or baksheesh). We went to the room.
the room is clean and tidy.
With meat We really liked the chickpea paste, I recommend you try it called hummus. In general, the hotel suited us quite well in terms of food. We didn't drink strong alcohol. The beer was very light and pleasant. The bartenders are smiling and pleasant. They always say good morning, good afternoon, it feels like they are really pleased to see us.
Excursions. My advice to you!! ! Don't go on a pammukale excursion from Alanya! When we were in Kemer, we didn’t go on this excursion since we were with a child, but from Kamer it’s much closer! We spent 8-9 hours on the way one way!!! ! The excursion itself is of course excellent, but when you crawl out of the bus tiredly, you don’t understand anything; you spent half a day running around the objects and back!
But since my husband ordered in advance and really wanted to go rafting, we went and were wildly delighted, imagine, when the sun is scorching, you are brought to the gorge of a cool mountain river!
It’s not dangerous and even a bag of potatoes like me can handle it)))) on the whole, we’re happy with the excursions, although we probably made the wrong choice in the case of Pammukale. Special thanks to Alik’s tours for their service and transfer.
Overall, we liked the Hotel. Yes, we mainly considered it as an overnight stay, because we knew that we would be on the Excursion for 2 days and planned to go to local restaurants and clubs. If you are counting on luxurious service and luxury food, this is definitely not the place for you. Everything is clean and simple.
It fully justifies its price. We would hardly go there again - it’s unlikely. We will most likely spend our next holiday in Marmaris. I hope my review was helpful. Have a wonderful holiday everyone!
Sey beach
The hotel was chosen for the price (there was a very reasonable price for the "early booking" promotion). Also a plus for us was that the hotel was built recently. We bought the tour in March.
We traveled as a couple in July 2022. The flight was at night and early in the morning we arrived at the airport in Antalya. We arrived tired because the plane was crowded. Since we initially planned our vacation in the alanya region and knew that it would be a long way to go, when ordering excursions, we were offered a transfer. My husband ordered in the VK group from Alik, we didn’t see him, we ordered everything, he sent some photos with checks, we paid for everything after the fact.
So in more detail
We had booked a private transfer, which made our way to the hotel very easy. We arrived quickly and comfortably. Upon arrival at the hotel, we understood that we would not be settled before 2 pm and prepared things in advance in order to change clothes and go swimming and relaxing.
But to our surprise we were settled earlier. Apparently the hotel was not completely filled (without any additional payments and baksheesh). We went to the room.
the room is clean and tidy. Small, but more than enough for two, the most important thing is clean, the linen is fresh and starched. The plumbing is working and everything is like new. Wi-fi worked) view of the mountains and partly of the sea! what else is needed for happiness) cleaned the room every day, towels changed regularly.
Territory.
The hotel area is not big. There is nowhere to play. Way to the sea through the underpass. The sea is clean, but there is no pier! Entrance only from the shore. The pool is not big but clean. Sunbeds need to be occupied from early in the morning. There are gazebos on the sea, but as it turned out, you have to pay for them.
Now about food. Food as usual in Turkey is quite good with a good choice. For breakfast: cheeses, sausages, Eggs, vegetables, omelettes (very tasty with mushrooms and onions), plus pancakes and various types of jam.
For lunch: there is always a choice of fried, stewed meat .....various side dishes and fruits.
For dinner and meat and fish and Turkish sweets. With meat We really liked the chickpea paste, I advise you to try the hummus called. In general, the hotel suits us well in terms of food. We did not drink strong alcohol. The beer was very light and pleasant. The bartenders are smiling and pleasant. They always say good morning, good afternoon feeling that they are really pleased to see us.
Excursions. My advice to you!! ! Do not go on a tour in pammukale from alanya! When we were in Kemer, we didn’t go on this excursion because we were with a child, but it’s much closer from Camera! On the way in one direction we spent 8-9 hours!!! ! The tour itself is great, of course, but when you get tired out of the bus, you don’t understand anything, we spent half a day running through the objects and back!
But since my husband ordered in advance and really wanted to go rafting himself, we went, were wildly delighted, imagine when the sun is scorching, you are brought to the gorge of a cool mountain river! It is not dangerous and even a bag of potatoes like me can handle it)))) in general, they are satisfied with the excursions, although they probably made the wrong choice in the case of Pammukale. Tours u Alik special thanks for the service and transfer.
In general - we liked the hotel. Yes, basically we considered it as an overnight stay, because we knew that we would stay on the Excursion for 2 days and planned to get out to local restaurants and clubs. If you are looking for chic service and food a la luxury, you are definitely not in it. Everything is clean, simple.
It fully justifies its price. We would go there again - hardly. We will most likely spend our next vacation in Marmaris. I hope my review was helpful. Have a great holiday everyone!
There is not much variety in food, but we never went hungry, most often we took gin at the bar (we also tried wine, but didn’t like it, the boys drank beer - they liked it). During our stay, the hotel was fully loaded, but at the same time, there were enough sunbeds for everyone both near the pool and on the beach. The rooms are also good, the air conditioning works (sometimes it didn’t work during the day), wi-fi is generally normal - it catches perfectly at the reception, it’s worse in the rooms, but messages are sent - it doesn’t catch only in the evening during dinner, since, apparently, there is a big load. Special thanks to the administrators, especially Mehmet.
ROOM: spacious, comfortable, air conditioning worked fine, always happy to return to the room after the hot "hugs" of Alanya. The shower worked properly. The room was cleaned every day, towels changed, bed too. After the tip was cleaned more carefully)
After cleaning always left two bottles of water.
The room also had an electronic safe, a small refrigerator and a TV.
FOOD is a question that worries many people the most) The whole point is in the little things. During breakfasts, lunches, dinners, there were always several waiters in the dining room, we were met literally at the door with the wishes of a pleasant day / evening and appetite. Although some waiters hardly spoke Russian, they always kindly explained in English (well, or in broken Russian) what, how and where. Sometimes a chef came into the hall and controlled the process, returned a delicious look to the dishes after the invasion of hungry tourists) The dishes were replenished, because sometimes we came closer to the end, and the plates were full or half full. ABOUT THE MENU: every day there was a choice of different fruits, vegetables, salads, herbs. Several types of meat, soups, pasta, rice, cereals, noodles, something similar to vegetable stew, once there was puree, different sauces, omelettes, scrambled eggs, savory buns, pita bread with different fillings. Also several types of juices, tea in separate teapots, fanta, cola, sprite; coffee drinks, however, from a coffee machine. Desserts are another matter altogether. Desserts were for lunch and dinner. Juicy, with and without cream, chocolate and oriental, sometimes there were cakes.
Never left hungry. The only thing is that we did not find fish on our buffet. But personally it didn't spoil the impression for me, because I don't like fish.
There are times when you can try some food for free (from 13:30 to 14 we were given ice cream, from morning to 17 there was a beach bar where you can eat no worse than in the dining room, as well as drink beer, juices, coffee drinks )
STAFF: didn't have much contact with the staff, but overall ok. Some talkative, easy and pleasant to communicate, some just answered questions. But I would not dare to call the attitude of the staff indifferent.
BEACH: an underground tunnel leads to the beach from the -1st floor. On the same -1 floor you can take towels (one caveat - the towels are a little worn, but clean). The tunnel itself does not exhaust the freshness, many wrote that the path to the beach is not comfortable precisely due to this tunnel. Hopefully this will be fixed by next season. On the beach, you can take a sunbed in the shade (there is a cover), and it’s convenient to sunbathe in the sun. Sunset in the sea - well, interesting) There are areas where the stones are small, there are places where huge stone slabs lie. We just bought special slippers and began to calmly walk along the bottom. But we got on big waves, the sea pumped so much that we forgot about everything, no water park is needed. The sea is clean and warm, the coastal zone is wide, which is nice - there was enough space for everyone, no one was lying on your head.
Of course, this hotel has many more services and entertainment, such as two swimming pools (one indoor), billiards, crust. tennis, hammam, spa, tren. hall, animation, etc.
Life hack: there are TWO elevators in the hotel, many simply didn’t see the second one and crowded into one. The second elevator on the right side of the central one. On Wednesdays in Kestel bazaar, you can successfully skimp on anything and much cheaper than in tourist shops.
There is a MIGROS store 10 minutes from the hotel, in this store you can also buy some goods inexpensively, but not all, as well as exchange dollars (exchange at a favorable rate).
Bottom line: I would like the room to be cleaned a little better, beach towels replaced, the tunnel to the beach improved, WiFi was established, because sometimes it loads slowly. In general, I liked everything, we already miss the carefree days of vacation.
***
We went to rest with my mother and were satisfied with the hotel itself, and also, especially, the spa area in it (-1 floor). The food was of high quality, the rooms were cool, beautiful, cleaned well. There are no problems with communication - everyone speaks both Russian and English. This is a normal hall for a small hotel, I generally studied there alone (pluses of a small hotel). There is also a spa nearby, a must-see, you won't regret it! ) In general, everything was amazing, check out the view from the room))
No one is responsible for anything, animations do not care about tourists, they only hold children's mini disco in the evening and that's it, there is no declared gymnastics and aerobics!
Last night they announced the Miss Hotel show, but it was not there, and people sat and just waited for 2 hours, then went to bed. And most importantly, I came now to take a towel on the map, they say there are no towels and wait 4 hours! ! ! What kind of nonsense? !
At the reception, too, could not help, they say take from the room. I'm just in shock. Even today we were in the so-called SPA, well, the level leaves much to be desired!
The behavior of the staff is inappropriate, they allow themselves different liberties with customers! The masseur does not hear (or pretends to) when you say "it hurts" and does not try to please and make it softer. Prices, by the way, for services on paper are not indicated anywhere, that is, they are simply spoken from the bulldozer.
If you go to the hammam, only to a woman!
I really want to talk to the hotel management, who does not care about the opinion of customers. There are no such employees at the reception. Will not go here again and would not recommend to anyone!
