Ожидания оправдались Expectations met

We have wanted to visit this hotel for a long time. Due to the fact that the rest was determined a week before departure, they did not get to Ali Bay. For the first time we used an early booking, which we were satisfied with, because they tracked the price until we left. So booking a tour to this hotel in advance is still more profitable than one to four weeks before departure.
I liked the area as soon as we moved in. It's really big and green. These oriental-style fantanchiki and in the form of a tea set are just a feast for the eyes. The Ottoman style in the design of buildings looks majestic and beautiful. Despite the fact that each house has a map with a big red dot of your location, it is very possible to get lost at first. Since we had read about the rooms, they did not disappoint us, but, on the contrary, turned out to be above our expectations. They settled on the second floor, as we asked. There was just a choice of two houses. Our house 18 was exactly in the center of everything - from two restaurants, stages, the sea and the water park. In general, the fact that the hotel has "only two" is very unusual. We took advantage of this situation, and ate in turn in two main restaurants, and in the third main one by the sea. They took turns attending animation and performances on two stages, went to different cafes, etc. : ) In terms of food quality, both main restaurants are the same. If you really find fault, then in the "German" restaurant the waiters are a little quicker than in the "Russian", and there is always semolina for breakfast, since their children do not like it in the morning : ) Thanks to the beautiful veranda and the contingent, when you get into "our" restaurant seems to have ended up in a party sanatorium on the South Coast. That's the whole difference. : ) Children's animation in the evenings is the same in the two parts of the hotel, but the adults' performances are different.
WiFi is available only at the reception and in the bars near the pools.

The entrance to the sea and the beach itself is better on the side of the Park part of the hotel. The sea is clean and salty. The beach is very long, wide - it was almost empty at the end of May. We thought that everything is busy in the water park - the same situation. The slides are working...Not so much as queues, but people in general. The same is true in restaurants. So you feel very spacious on vacation. There were always plenty of empty tables. Including because of the operational work of the waiters. Restaurant service is top notch! As soon as you sit down, they immediately specify what you are ordering a drink. Food - a separate conversation. You can devote the entire review to the variety of dishes. For 6 years of rest in Turkish hotels (including Akka Antandon, Ela Quality), I think that in Ali Bey it is the best! The choice of fish dishes was especially impressive. I, not a fan of fish as such, tried everything - very tasty. The husband, a lover of this, could not get enough of such an abundance at all. At times he ate only shrimp. Although they are just not as tasty in this hotel as they are at home : ) But everything else is great! Large selection of pastries, sweets, fruits and of course vegetable dishes. Well, as usual, pancakes with any kind of filling, including hot chocolate, french fries, soups, cereals, yogurts, cereals, etc. Despite the high cost of meat in Turkey, there were many different meat dishes. At lunch time, delicious waffles are made in a waffle iron. Children eat them with great pleasure.
Separately, it is worth stopping at the water park - really impressive. You can spend the whole day there. Because there is also a restaurant where you can dine. True, they are not allowed to enter there in swimsuits. We always went to the water park in the morning. And in the afternoon - at the sea, since the main purpose of leaving for Turkey is the sea : ) Tennis courts are also in excellent condition. If you take rackets and balls with you, then everything is free. You have to pay for inventory when you rent. There is a cool wall to practice before a game or if you don't have a tennis partner.
The only negative of club hotels is that there is not much to do on a rainy day, since there is no indoor entertainment such as an indoor pool. Even the tables for such tennis stand, though under weights, but still get wet in the rain, i. е. You can't play ping pong either. At such a time, people gather at the bars, which are under awnings, and play board games: from cards to lotto : )
There is not much to do outside the hotel. Is that to go to Side. But if you come to rest for just a week, then there is enough entertainment on the territory of Ali Bey, so there is no particular need to leave it.
We also took a tour of the Green Canyon. The landscapes there are magnificent, the lake is emerald. Around it are rocks. Direct illustrations for fairy tales. But I think that spending the whole day there is unreasonable. You can do it in a couple of hours...Traveling by boat at the end of the walk begins to tire. And lunch is served in a beautiful place, but completely tasteless (especially in comparison with the food of "Ali Bey" : ) )


I would recommend the hotel for holidays of all ages, with or without children, teenagers. Nobody will be bored (in good weather : ) ). At the same time, I don’t understand people who go to the same place for 5-6 years in a row. Especially if you can afford to go to a seaside resort only once or twice a year. But, if you have not been there yet, then feel free to go to ALI BEY CLUB MANAVGAT!
