Good day to all.
Here is my truth about Alinda.
I hope my post will not be edited.
Restoration took place in the hotel, but only in public areas, it was not done in the rooms.
Rested from 24.04. 10 to 04.05. 10. Kiris is a small area in which life is not yet in full swing at this time. But everything you need is there, travel agencies, rental shops, etc. the only thing I’ll say is better if anything, then you need to buy a serious one in Kemer or Antalya. Buses and taxis run to Kemer, taxis with 4 people ask for 10-12 USD. one way. And most importantly, on Mondays in Kemer there is a bazaar where all the locals buy up, but it’s cheaper there, especially fruits.

At this time, the entire infrastructure of the hotel is not yet ready, but I have seen this in hotels nearby that are even cooler than ours. The pier was not prepared, but they said that it would be assembled before May 10-15. The hotel is advertised as 5 stars. The hotel area is green, not small, but there is where to walk. On the territory of two pools, a large one is located on the way to the beach, a smaller pool has two slides, it is located near the children's town, which is well equipped. There are 2 storey so-called bungalows but no sea view. The bar worked both there and there. The restaurant worked the main one and one near the beach, Ala carte began to work on May 1. , There is parking for cars. The food is very normal, the choice of food is varied, there are separate diet food and a children's table, juices a la UPI of normal quality, for a fee, natural juices (orange, carrot, apple), sweets, there is also a choice. There was also a diet menu. Fruits at that time were 2 kinds of apples, pears, baked, apples, pears, quince.
Animation - at this time it is almost invisible actually appeared on May 1, I hope it was still in the buildup stage.
The beach is the same for everyone, the difference is only in size, but I think they are the same in terms of cleanliness. They clean it well, there were always free sunbeds by the pools and on the beach, although somewhere on May 1-2 the hotel was already 70% full, so it seemed to me.
From sports. There are pool tables, 3 table tennis tables, two rubber courts, one of them has a mini football goal. Water polo, darts, volleyball 2 times a day. For volleyball lovers, take old sneakers or rubber slippers with you, the field is all with pebbles. Rubber slippers will come in handy when entering the water in them more conveniently.
Minus Perhaps the size of the room and bathroom, perhaps a balcony, but for two it is normal, a clear minus thin walls - you can hear the neighbors making noise and the TV is loud, as well as a small TV.
Cleaning - the staff is friendly, but the carpets are not very well cleaned, and if you hang a sign to clean, they clean it every day, there were no problems with replacing towels.
Of course, the latter are not small shortcomings, but if you do not spend your holidays in the room, then everything is fine. If at least there was noiseless walls, then it was possible to give the hotel a Turkish 5 stars, otherwise a very solid four, or "-5". The hotel, in general, is very good, I can advise others, subject to the above. And most importantly, do not think that somewhere it will be much better for this money, or the territory is small, or the food can be worse.
Excursions can probably be safely taken from street agencies. Itself took not the first time in the Maxwell tour. Unfortunately the same but cheaper than the guides. But who is afraid, for anything, then go to the guide, he will not refuse, but he will also sell for more.

I advise everyone who has not been, if possible, to visit Pomukal, the entrance is 20 liras, the Cleopatra Pool is 25 liras, to watch the Fires of Anatolia show takes place in the amphetheater, if nearby then Phaselis the entrance is 6 USD, there during the day you can also see turtles, Olympos - more and a beautiful bay and beach entrance like 3-4 lira, car parking 4 lira, Hemera is better in the evening when it gets dark, climb the top for about 20 minutes shoes - sneakers, you need a flashlight with you or rent it on the spot for 3-4 lira at during 3.5 per person. Well, a little further Demre, Mira entrance 10 lira, Kekova - a boat, as agreed (small ones from 35 USD). Waterfall in Antalya flowing directly into the sea.
If there are 4 people and a car, rental for all excursions is cheaper
Migros - a local shopping center, did not impress, there is an amusement park next to it, you can go. And they also say a good water park, but it did not work, opening from May 5-7.
We managed to see all this with quality and arrangement in 4 half days, Using a rented car. Yes, and not a bad cuisine in the town of Ulupinar, two restaurants standing on the river.
